Slytherin Boys

Puppet

Andromeda soon arrived, looking at the three men. "Now I need to know who else is involved in this."

"Grandpa here, Paddy, Moomy, Reg, Zabini Heir, Malfoy Heir, Nott Heir, Crabbe and Goyle heirs. Is that it?" Sirius ticked them off on his fingers.

"Grandpa..." Andromeda lost her composure and just laughed. She was wheezing as she laughed, clutching her stomach.

"Are you quite done?" Severus looked so sour before taking Harry from Sirius. He stroked the boy's warm cheek and frowned. "What's the matter with him?"

"I'm not sure yet..." Andromeda did another spell and sighed. "He's got Wizarding Flu. He's going to need to take the potion."

All the adults shuddered, making a face. "Gross... Poor baby..." Remus sighed.

"Open up, Harry." Andromeda smiled reassuringly at Harry who hesitantly opened his mouth and drank the potion, nearly retching after. "He'll need another dose in the morning and it should clear it up."

"Sounds good... Severus, he's going to need to stay with us." Remus spoke with a concerned look.

"Blaise and Theo won't like that." Severus pinched the bridge of his hooked nose.

"It'll keep others from being infected too. We've all been vaccinated against it." Sirius added.

"They really won't like this but I understand the safety concerns." Severus nodded before kissing Harry's forehead and flooing away. Andromeda left them next, heading back home to her home with Ted.

~Early Morning~

Sirius awoke to Harry whimpering softly and opened his eyes to change his diaper for the third time since going to bed. He didn't mind taking care of Harry, knowing this is how it would have been if he could have had him in the first place.

The young man finished cleaning Harry's bottom and realized the boy was a bit damp, summoning the bottle of baby powder and accidentally dropping it. The bottle exploded in a white cloud of powder, causing all three to sneeze. Remus woke from a sound sleep, sneezing violently while falling off the bed.

Regulus opened the door, having heard a loud thud and stared at the three who still sneezed. He waved his temporary wand and the dust disappeared. "You three are a mess."

"It fell." Sirius explained, using a wet wash cloth to clean Harry's face. "We'll have to bathe."

"I'm going back to bed." Regulus left and Remus removed himself from the floor.

"What on earth did you do?" Tired werewolf was not in a good mood, glaring at Sirius until tiny fingers brushed on his arm as Harry tried to move into his lap. Remus moved him gently, focusing on his pup now. "How are you feeling, baby?"

"Yucky." Harry still didn't feel the best, curling into Remus and absorbing his body heat.

"I know, Harry. Soon you'll feel all better." Remus stood, Harry in his arms and made his way to the bathroom. "Should Paddy take a bath with us?" He smiled gently, Harry's hands on his face.

"Want Paddy too!" Harry nodded repeatedly, wanting his Moomy and Paddy close to him.

Sirius went into the bathroom by them, observing for a minute before undressing and joining them in the tub. He washed Remus's back and chuckled. "We're quite the couple... An ex-convict who was innocent and a werewolf. And to top it off, now parents to the sweetest kid ever."

"Don't forget that your dead brother returned to the land of the living. Snape's actually nice to Harry." Remus added, washing Harry's hair gently. 

"What are you thinking, Bambi?" Sirius leaned over Remus' shoulder to address Harry who has been silent the whole time.

"Sleeeeeepy." Harry yawned, hair clean now and getting little wrinkles all over from the water.

"Time to head back to bed." Sirius agreed, standing and gathering towels for everyone.  He scooped Harry up out of the tub and into a large towel, wrapping him up. "I love you, Bambi." He knew Harry probably had never really been told he was loved. He got an adorable smile before it was broken by a yawn again. 

"I'll put a nappy on him this time." Remus snorted, powdering Harry carefully and putting the diaper on him.  The three curled back up together and managed to sleep until nearly 8 am when the door opened and Andromeda cleared her throat, knowing better than to enter a werewolf's territory.

"Wake up... It's time for the next dose." Andromeda had places to be.

"Auntie?" Harry sat up between his Paddy and Moomy.

"Hello Harry." Andromeda smiled at him. "Can you wake up your parents?"

Harry nodded, turning and tapping Sirius' face repeatedly until the man groaned before turning and kissing Remus' nose and saying Moomy repeatedly. "Moooooomy." He whined after awhile, flopping over onto Remus' face. Remus grunted, waking up at the lack of air and removing Harry from his face.

"Good morning to you." Sirius laughed. "Andy's here to give Harry the next dose."

"Ah..." Remus grunted, not feeling like talking while holding Harry close before giving him to Sirius and going back to sleep.

"We'll be done in five. Let me get us dressed." Sirius smiled, turning and looking at Andromeda who shut the door. Sirius got himself and Harry dressed, kissed Remus' cheek and went downstairs with the toddler in his arms. "Andy?"

"In the kitchen." Andromeda was doing an exam on Regulus whom she had surprised. Sirius entered the kitchen and snorted at his brother's face.

"You look so happy." Sirius set Harry in the high chair before making some oatmeal for Harry as Andromeda gave him the next dose. "Poor kid." He ruffled Harry's hair and sat to feed him.

"At least he'll feel better and won't be sick." Andromeda hummed, helping herself to some toast before Floo'ing out.

~At the School, several hours later~

Theo was anxiously picking at the shirt he was wearing and Blaise was scowling rather than his normal impassive appearance. The two cornered Severus after their last lesson. "We want to see him. Now." Theo was surprisingly the one to hiss.

"Calm yourself, Mister Nott..." Severus sighed. "He'll be here soon." Severus brought them to his personal quarters and Floo'ed out before returning with Harry.

Theo took Harry quickly, kissing all his face and holding him close. "Mummy missed you..."

"So did I." Blaise snorted, hugging both of them. "Papa missed you too." The Slytherin was showing his true feelings and kissed Harry's forehead.

"Alright you three.... Go back to your apartments." Severus shooed them out.
