Trouble [S.B]

"You have everything Sirius?"

"Uhh, almost? I can't find -"

"This?"

The grey eyed boy looked back only to see the raven haired girl holding on to the shoe he was looking for.

"Yep. I last saw Orion chewing on it" he chuckled and approached her.

"He was still chewing on it. I hope they were at least clean" she joked and he laughed taking the shoe from her hand, but not before kissing her forehead and mumbling a quick thanks.

"I think that's everything."

"Good, we've to get going if we don't want the portkey to leave without us." 

"We aren't leaving anything that Orion might need, right?" he asked as he took his bag and left the room, following behind Noelle as she descended the stairs.

"No, I've checked his bag more times than I've mine" she sighed as she stepped into the hallway and then walked to the living room, where they could hear lively chatter.

As the couple stepped in every person inside looked at the two. The first one to step up was James, who held Orion in front of him whilst making faces at the giggling baby. 

"Orion definitely got his good looks and pleasantness from Noelle, because we all know how cranky Sirius is after waking up." the people in the living room laughed, except for the main subject who glared jokingly at the bespectacled boy.

"Stop using me as an example to describe yourself Potter, we know you're the one that gets their knickers in a twist."

The very pregnant and waddling red head rolled her eyes as she took the baby from her husbands hands and approached her friend "Men."

Noelle chuckled, but shook her head as she spoke "Children, you mean." and proceded to make faces at her son who joyously laughed.

"Ahh, don't you think that's an insult to them?" Lily looked at Noelle briefly before kissing Orion's head.

"You're right Lils."

"They just insulted us as if it was nothing..." James Potter sulked and Sirius patted his back.

"Get used to it mate."

"You've everything in order, dear?" Euphemia spoke up from where she sat in a chair verifying that their bags were in order "The portkey leaves in a few minutes."

The small family would be leaving for northern Italy to meet with an alleged family member of Noelle.

When Noelle was still in Hogwarts she and Regulus had found a wizarding organization that connected you with other relatives and so she'd looked them up and sent the information needed. It wasn't after Antonin Dolohov broke into their home that Noelle received feedback of a family, with the same last name as her, living in Italy. The other party had been informed as well and it seemed as if they had also been looking for someone, Noelle could only hope that they were actually looking for her and not someone else.

"Everything's in order, we'll be away for five days at most. Please take care of Tobias, he's really a good boy he just likes to stuff his face in the dirt once in a while, take him out on walks at least once a day and give him a treat after it, he also likes to be reassured he's being good and that you appreciate him-"

"Yes Sirius, we understand, we'll take good care of your boy Tobias" just as James mentioned the name, the dog came bounding and placed his paws on Sirius torso.

"I'll miss you buddy, we'll make sure to bring you some treats, yeah?" Sirius patted the dog's head who wagged its tail happily.

"We'll keep you guys updated with everything and if something happens, please please tell us." Noelle said as she took Lily into a hug and then James before standing next to Sirius.
