They all sat down at the long oak table and Mrs. Weasley made herself busy setting the table and cutting the food up, " It was very nice of you to make dinner, Eurielle, dear," she said loudly as to alert the other guests that if it tasted bad she didn't make it.

Eurielle nodded and looked over to Dora who was happily bouncing up and down in her seat, " Lindsey's recipe right?" she said putting potatoes on her plate. Her cousin nodded.

Ron loaded his plate down but put some back with a look from his mother. Sirius sat beside Remus who sent the dark haired wizard a pointed look, as if he was asking if he and Eurielle were back at each other's throats. Sirius seemed to have gotten the unspoken message because he shook his head.

Tonks hummed happily as she took a bite of the food, " Dora, how is Andy?" asked Eurielle, making Sirius perk up.

Tonks swallowed her food, " Oh y'know mum, still trying to figure out how a TV works, but other than that she's fine!" she then turned to Sirius, " Oh, and she's thrilled to find out you're not a murderer!"

Sirius sent Dora a wink, " I've been getting that a lot lately," he said with a grin, " Tell me Tonks, how's the rest of the family,"

Dora laughed wildly and looked to Eurielle who grinned, " We saw Auntie Narcissa at the World Cup! Ellie and I made sure to get under her skin of course!"

Sirius let out a bark of laughter while Remus shook his head, a small smile on his face, " She has a kid right? Draco?"

Ron pretended to gag, " Yeah we bumped into him when Death Eaters were attacking the muggles, Black here told him off good though," he said in a dream like way as he remembered the event, " Highlight of the whole evening,"

Sirius's grin widened as he looked over to Eurielle who met his eyes, " And what did you say to him, Ellie?"

She shook her head, " I just told him to go suck on his mum's tit, that's all,"

Mrs. Weasley turned beet red as she pursed her lips, looking like she wanted to tell the young girl off for saying such a thing, but then turned her look of disapproval towards Sirius who looked like he was about to piss his pants. Dora looked to be in the same state as tears of mirth welled in her eyes as she laughed.

The twins began chortling at the thought while Ginny tried to suppress her own giggle into her arm, it was safe the say the only ones who didn't look happy were Remus and Mrs. Weasley.

" I'm so proud!" sighed Sirius happily before taking a bite of roast, suddenly his smile dropped but thankfully this was only noticed by Eurielle who watched him out in the corner of her eye, pretending to listen to Mrs. Weasley who was saying Dumbledore would be coming in an hour or so.

He looked down at his plate with a pensive look, he was remembering something. She was afraid he didn't like it but felt that weight left from her chest when he took another bite, a small smile on his handsome face.

Sirius looked down at the plate and for a moment he could hear Evelyn humming while cooking in their old kitchen. He closed his eyes for a moment and he could see her.

Her chocolate curls pinned up with a blue ribbon as she peeled potatoes, her warm russet eyes glancing up at him from beneath thick lashes, a soft smile gracing her face, " Can you go get Ellie up, she doesn't need to sleep any longer,"

He opened his eyes to see his plate. He'd do whatever it took to bring her back to Ellie, to Lindsey and Samson- to him. They would be a family again, her, him, Ellie and Harry. They'd be together again.
