After James's death, Tom tried to visit her, but she had her house under the Fidelius Charm, with Sirius as the Secret Keeper, no matter how much he pestered her not to. Not only that, she asked Sirius, Remus, and Peter to move in with her, so she and Harry wouldn't feel lonely, but also they could mourn together.
"Come on, Ava, I'm the most obvious person to be the Secret Keeper!" Sirius whined.
"And I don't fucking care, Siri, you are so loyal, it's a miracle you didn't make it to Hufflepuff," Avalon said, her mind set.
"Hey, at least I've shagged all the girls in Hufflepuff," Sirius said proudly.
"Disgusting, Siri, disgusting, it's also a miracle that you and Rem are together, after all of that you've been through," Avalon said, wincing as Sirius gasped, starting yet ANOTHER Sirius-episode.
"How dare you--" He started but then was interrupted by his boyfriend.
"Sirius, stop it," Remus said, as he and Peter continued to play with Harry.
"Fine, love," Sirius whined like a child before plopping next to his boyfriend and Peter.
"Ooh, to be control by love..." Avalon mocked-drawled as Sirius and Remus both said at the same time, "Shut the fuck up, Ava! You're in love with Prongs too!"
Peter could only facepalm as the three argued on and on.

"Harry, oh no, not again!" Avalon said as she saw Harry flying on the toy broomstick Sirius got for him.
"Yes again, Ava, sucks to you, little Prongs here is a Quidditch player!" Sirius taunted as he ran to help his little godson.
"He really did inherit Prongs' genes," Remus smiled tiredly as the Full Moon was today.
"He did, he really did," Avalon smiled before looking up at the calendar, "anyways, isn't it Full Moon today? You two go accompany Remus, me and Harry would be fine in here."
"You sure, Ava, I could always go alone, because y'know, your father is looking for you?" Remus said hesitantly.
"I'll be fine, my father will not kill me, I am his heir after all. And also, I asked Regulus to come," Avalon said as she bent down to pick up Harry.
"Why him?" Peter asked curiously. Sirius could only freeze at his brother's name.
"He was really a big help, since James's death, as a friend, he helped me accept and move on from James's death and focus on the future," Avalon said, smiling, before heading to the kitchen to cook some food.
"You know what, Padfoot, Wormy, you two stay here, don't worry about me," Remus said as he opened the door and went out.

"Hi Reg," Avalon smiled softly as Regulus came in the door, soaking wet from the rain.
"Hi Ava," Regulus smiled back but his smile dropped when he saw Sirius, "what's he doing here?" he whispered.
"Come on, you two need to talk," Avalon said as she pulled Regulus's arm to where Sirius was.
After the two brothers were both sitting on the couch and looking at one another awkwardly, Avalon whistled, "Tension!" while the brothers just groaned.
"Anyways, make up, don't make out! I'll be in the other room with Harry and Pete!" Avalon said as she left the room.
"Well..." Sirius said hesitantly as Regulus continued to look at the ground, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.
"I'm sorry," the two brothers said at the same time.
"I shouldn't have left you there by yourself, Reggie," Sirius said guiltily.
"And I shouldn't have distanced myself from you, Siri," Regulus added.
The two hugged as Avalon opened the door.
"Well, job well done, boys! It's time for lunch, Harry, Pete, and Rem are waiting!" Avalon said, until she heard the smell of burning smoke.
"You got to be kidding me, I've only left them for a minute," Avalon facepalmed as she hurried out of the door.

"Harry, you fine, sweetheart?" Avalon asked worriedly as she picked up the little toddler, who was crying in his crib later that night.
"Arry miss D-adda" Harry wailed as he buried himself into his mother's chest.
"Oh Harry, mamma miss dadda too. Don't you worry, mamma will always be here for you," Avalon whispered as she rocked Harry and patted his back softly.
"Arry love mamma and dadda," Harry said back as he wrapped his little tiny arms around Avalon.
"Mamma love Harry and dadda too," Avalon smiled as Harry fell asleep.
After gently placing Harry in the snow-white crib, she slowly creeped downstairs to find Remus gently combing Sirius's hair as Peter snored quietly on the couch.
"Is little Prongs alright?" Sirius asked, "Anyways, Reggie left for Grimmauld Place,"
"Yep, Siri, he's alright," Avalon said.
"I'm glad," Remus said tiredly, as it was just Full Moon.
"You three rest, okay? You'll need your energy for tomorrow," Avalon said softly as she magically transfigured the couch into warm and comfortable beds for them. They looked too tired to crawl upstairs to their own beds, Avalon thought.
"Night, Ava," Sirius said as Avalon flicked the lights off and whispered a soft 'good night' before heading up the stairs.
