Harry- Both Dante and I have woken up bright an early, making sure our trunks are packed and that we're properly dressed in our school uniforms.

Dante- Coming downstairs we leave our trunks in the foyer and enter the kitchen. (Smirks Amusedly) "Should we be worried?" I sit up at the kitchen island beside my cousin.

Harry- We watch rather amused as our Godfather, sorry honorary mother runs around making sure we are not only fed, but have last minute belongings packed before we have to leave for the train.

Sirius- Placing platefuls of food in front of my pups. "Eat up, the train ride is hours long and you'll be starving by the time of the Welcoming Feast." I flit about the kitchen cleaning up the mess, all the while going over a mental list of the boys needed supplies as well as a few extra things. (Mumbles Incoherently)

Remus- Sitting adjacent to the boys with my own plate of food as I slowly sip at my coffee. (Hums Softly) "I wouldn't worry to much." Looking towards the doorway, that my mate had disappeared through. "He's not only excited, but very nervous."

Dante- Sharing a mirrored look of confusion with Harry. "We can understand that you'd both be excited, but why are you nervous?"

Remus- Setting my coffee aside as I glance between our cubs. "Getting accepted into Hogwarts is a huge ordeal..." Pausing briefly as a rather heavy tension builds in the air. "Except for the two of you, considering you both know the truth of what Albus and Minivera has really done to you and your parents we are just..." Pausing once more, taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out. "We're really worried about your safety and have every right to be."

Harry- (Frowns Deeply) "If your so worried, why not just send us to a different school then?"

Remus- (Sighs Heavily) "We've thought about it, trust us we have." Pinching at the bridge of my nose to stave off the oncoming headache. "But we quickly realized it would raise a lot of questions and would run the risk of the both of you being taken away from us."

Dante- Pushing the food around my plate. (Mumbles) "So you're sending us to a place that puts our lives literally on the line and are hoping nothing happens?"

Remus- Looking away from Dante's glowing scarlet orbs as I cower beneath his more dominating aura. "Yes?"

Dante- I stare at my Dog-Father unamused. (Rolls Eyes) "You've got no balls." Pushing my plate away, I slide off the stool and leave the kitchen.

Remus- I stare after the boy literally shocked.

Harry- (Snorts Amused) "Well, he's in a mood." I quickly finish my juice and follow after Dante.

(Ten Minutes Later)

Sirius- I walk into the kitchen to find it clean and my mate at the counter beside the sink, staring out the window drinking what seems to be a cup of coffee mixed with a bit of whiskey. "What happened?"

Remus- (Shakes Head) "Our pups are growing up Padfoot and they are on a mission." Staring off into the distance, I take another sip of my whiskey laced coffee.

Sirius- (Nods Understandingly) "That's what this is about then." I take the cup from him and empty the rest of the liquid down the sink. "Clean yourself up love, we need to get them to the station."
