The Return of flaemont Potter's Sister

28

The Gryffindor common room was unusually quiet. The students where fidgeting about the trouble makers being so well behaved, making them worried about the storm to come and what grand prank they're planning. How ever little did they know that it wasn't a prank but a more complicated story to unfold rocking the wizarding Britain.

The marauders anxiously waited for Ara's reply. They sat Infront of the cracking fire trying to not think about it.
"She told walburga, no?!" Sirius asked nervously.

"She will never do that" Remus and James defended fiercely.

"It's been long since we sent it" Sirius whined as he plopped on the couch.

Remus had his head deep in the book Ara bought him. While James played with his snitch.

"Maybe she's busy" James said as a blue phoenix flew to him through the window. "Maybe not " he mumbled reading the letter." Guys... She's coming."

"Are we in trouble?" Sirius asked. As Remus pirked up to the news.
" I don't think so. I think it's more about the vial "

--------------------------------------------------
If you asked Dumbledore about his days he'll tell you how repetitive and unexpected it can be . But today was the craziest ever. How could it not be especially with Ara's presence.

Dumbledore looked at his visitors as if they were some sort of psychopaths.
"Okk . I'll let you meet them. But I'll be sending their parents a notice about it"
"Do I look like I care about your protocol?" Her father agitated with Dumbledore behavior thundered. Ara rolled her eyes at the duo then tapped her finger on the table."I want to see my son first. Barty"

It was lunch time and everyone should be in the great hall  .

The marauders entered the hall causing ruckus. While the Skittles entered quietly.

Sirius slumped next to Marlene throwing his hand around her shoulder. James slipped next to an unexpecting lily that huffed and muttered "toe rag" under her breath as he greeted "morning Evans" .
Remus the polite person he is greeted everyone before filling his plate and going back to his book . In the other hand peter forgot everything when he saw the food digging in immediately.

Barty looked across the tables at his new found family and friends. Waving at James when he sent him a smile and an abnoxous wave. Next to barty Evan rosier was debating with a stubborn Severus Snape about god knows what.and on the other side a  very suspicious and  a very quiet Regulus.

Barty didn't receive a letter from his mother since a while. He was getting worried and anxious about it. Barty turned to tell reg about his worries but he was dozing off "Reg , are you ok? Did you get any sleep?" Barty was mothering his friends ever since Ara adopted him. He felt like it was his responsibility to make them feel some of the motherly love or care even if it wasn't from their parents.

"I'm Okk " his voice came out strangled by a yawn.

Barty snorted "clearly" as he patted his own shoulder ." Take a nap. I'll save you something to eat" .

Hesitation flashed in his eyes but Barty's hand forcing his head snapped him out of his daze and giving up he closed his eyes ready to rest but not so ready for what hunted his nights.

Just as sleep started to fill in his mind familiar majistic bird , blue phoenix, set on his shoulder.
At the sight of the bird Sirius choked . He kicked James under the table who was busy trying to woo lily.
"James it's the bird"
"What bird?"
"Your aunt's"
"WHAT... "
"What's it about? Do you think she'll tell him"
Remus wisely said
" Let's wait and see "

Excited for the long awaited letter he opened it .

I'm here to see you

Dumbledore office
He says he like  lemon sherbet .

With love
Your mom
A.p.

Shaking of his friend from his shoulder he sprinted out to see her missing her warmth.
James shouted after him" BARTY WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
excited he flashed him a big full teeth smile.
"TO SEE MY MOM".

The marauders eyes widened.
Sirius couldn't speak. James was stunned and Remus muttered "lord have mercy".

Barty entered the office whiffing. At the sight of her he dashed to hug her .
She was waiting him with a kind smile and open arms

" I missed you love"
Ara said checking him out.and spreading kisses all over his face.

"I missed you more mom... " Hugging her tightly. Flaemont playfully greeted his nephew " looks like you don't love me anymore. I feel cheated on."

In the same playful manner with a bit more drama. Barty clutched his heart
"Are you questioning my loyalty. Am so disappointed my love" .

The pair hugged and mia said teasingly with her iconic raised brow "I think I'm the only one who's being cheated on. And Infront of me . You got the nerve."

"Never " Monty said giving her a kiss
While barty raised his hands in surrender"no one can beat you mia . You're such a queen".

"Thanks darling " flattered she showered him with affection and kisses.

"You here to see James?"Barty asked the unsuspecting parents. "You aren't all here because you missed me for sure."he joked .

"Ahhh... Yeah we'll see him later but..."
Monty started looking for help.

"We'll talk to Dumbledore while you chat with your mom" mia completed with a kind smile dragging her husband out while her father in law follow.

"I don't think he likes me a lot " barty commented about his grandpa.

"Well he doesn't like anyone" Ara shrugged.

Ara had spent nights and days preparing for this she knows what to do. That's what she told herself.
Patting the couch next to her "come take a seat".

Barty felt like living in heaven. He sat next to her beaming. Ara felt guilty for the boy. She swore to never hurt him and she won't. She'll treat him like her own. He is her son .

" barty dear... " She took a deep breath "remember what I told you about my memory loss?"

"Yes I do " Barty's brain was working hard to solve her looks. " tell me what's wrong. I can take it what ever it is."

Ara took a shaky breath and dropped the news.

"No... you're kidding" as if in a transe he shook his head in denial.

Ara heart throbbed for the boy.and in an attempt to comfort him she tried to touch his cheek. But all he did was abruptly stand up giving her his back and from where she was sitting she could see his shoulders shaking.

Barty was crying. his insecurities bitting him. She's going to give him back. She no longer need him. He's just a nuisance now. He loves her that's why he'll do whatever she needs. Is that why the whole family was here? to disown him? Because Regulus and Sirius are her real children. He violently wiped his tears.

"Please just give me sometime and I'll go quietly I just want to get enough of your warmth. Please mom ..." His voice came out strangled Shakey and filled with emotions. Still not looking at her so that he doesn't kneel begging her to keep him in a corner of her house.

" Wha... What are you talking about?"
Ara's eyes widened at his words. She made him face her. Looking in his read eyes and flushed face."get rid of any ideas you are getting. You barty crouch Jr are my son. Do you understand. No one can change that. "
His heart hurts. He doesn't deserve her. "Stop saying nonsense. I told you first cause you are my son. And an essential part of the family. They'll be your brothers and I wanted you to know before I even tell them so that you'll be ready to help me getting them to settle at home "

Barty felt so relieved that she wasn't getting rid of him. He loves his family.
And at that moment he swore to protect them from any harm. laughing a little now barty asked still in the comfort of her presence.
"So what's the plan?"

Humming while stroking his hair. "I'll let them watch the memories and give them the choice to come with us or stay home. But I'll make sure to do what ever it takes to punish those who caused our suffer"
