The Floo lit up and Andromeda Tonks stepped through with Ted and Nymphadora. "Hello, Remus. Hello, Harry." The Tonks Matriarch nodded at them as her daughter and husband cleaned themselves magically. "Where is that cousin of mine?"

"Making himself look pretty for you guys." Harry smiled, not moving from his seat on the stool. "Hey Dora!"

"Harryyyyy." Nymphadora whined before her eyes zeroed in on his swollen abdomen. "Holy shit... He's pregnant."

"Nymphadora!" Ted scolded his daughter as Harry's eyes watered and Remus pulled Harry up fully into his lap, stroking his hair softly.

"Yes... This is why we asked Andromeda to come. You three are the first to know outside of Poppy, McGonagall and the headmaster." Remus refrained from saying Dumbledore's name, knowing he would upset Harry more if he did.

"Harry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings... It just surprised me." Nymphadora gave him a random chocolate bar. Harry smiled radiantly at her and ate the chocolate after thanking her. "He's so cuteeee. But he's gonna need maternal clothes."

"Wait. What?" Harry looked confused again. He wasn't quite sure what Nymphadora was talking about.

"Pregnancy clothes, love." Remus smiled softly, kissing the side of Harry's head as Sirius ran in. "About time you joined us."

"Hush. No one looks this fabulous without time." Sirius plopped in a chair next to them, kissing Harry gently. "Hello there, Love. You look amazing."

"Shush!" Harry blushed, punching Sirius in the arm. "Say hello to Andromeda, Ted and Dora."

"Heyyyy Cousins!" Sirius grinned widely at them. He was so happy to be back in the Prime of his life and able to have his twenties again.

"Tell me how this happened." Andromeda got right to the point, crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes at one Sirius Orion Black.

"Weeeeell... It's a long story... Let's just show you?" Sirius offered instead, summoning a pensieve. He didn't feel like he could properly explain how the situation occurred.

"Sounds good..." Andromeda conceded. "Let me do a spell to project it though so we can all see."

Sirius put his memories in the Pensieve as Andromeda did the spell, starting on the day Harry first hid away.

~Flashback~

Sirius woke up to Remus pounding on his front door and then the sound of the werewolf running up the stairs and throwing open his bedroom door. "Good lord, Moony!" Sirius cried, covering his naked self with the blanket.

"Did you know Harry's decided to do a self exile?" Remus ignored the other male's state of undress. "Told Ron, George, and the others he doesn't want to be bothered by anyone..."

"What?! Why??" Sirius blinked, looking bemused at the new information. "Is something the matter?"

"I don't know. I sent an owl but it came back with the letter." Remus was pacing around, looking frantic and running his fingers through his hair over and over.

"Moony. Calm." Sirius ordered, using the tone of voice that left no room for argument and Remus obediently sat himself on the edge of Sirius's bed. "We'll just pop round and see him..."
