Kat: Isn't Andrew just adorable?! If Langston was a squib, I couldn't tell you, it would spoil the story for everyone else. :)

Chapter 20: Boy's Night Out
"What do you think Severus meant by me owning him big soon?" Sirius asked that night while him and Remus were in bed.
Remus looked up from his magazine. "Who knows with Severus, dear. Maybe he's going to get Andrew an expensive gift."
Sirius scoffed. "I doubt he knew what to get him after only just five minutes of the invitation."
"Maybe not." Remus kissed Sirius before turning out the light.
"Don't I get more than just a kiss?" Sirius voice sounded hurt.
"Tomorrow is a full moon, Paddy. I'll need all the energy I've got."
"Oh..." Sirius had forgotten tomorrow was the full moon. "Do you think Andrew will be okay at James'? It'll be his first time away from us since he's moved in."
Remus sighed and rolled over to face him. He put his hand on Sirius naked chest. "We've been through this, Sirius, he'll be fine. Lily will take swell care of him, you know that."
Sirius took Remus' hand with his. He needed comfort at the thought of being separated from his son. For nearly five years, he's been deprived from that little boy's existence, and he certainly didn't want to be away any longer than he had to. He loved Andrew more than anything.
"Do you think one day he could join us on our monthly night outs? Like, when he's older, I mean?"
Sirius felt Remus stiffen against him, obviously uncomfortable with the topic. "Right now, Andrew thinks werewolves don't even exist, and I am not against the idea of letting him believe it. Perhaps when he is older. Much older."
Remus' tone told Sirius he was not wishing to talk anymore. Sirius kissed his hand before bidding him a good night

"Can't forget the hairbrush!" Remus grinned and snatched Sirius' brush from the bathroom counter.
"Hey!" Sirius lunged for it but Remus slipped out of the room all too quickly, laughing away.
"You could just duplicate it!" He shouted, grabbing things he would need for the night.
"This is much more fun, Paddy!" Remus replied from Andrew's room.
Sirius grumbled to himself. Remus didn't even clean the brush right, and it wasn't easy getting werewolf fur out of his beloved hairbrush.
After he shrunk everything and placed it in a pocket bag, he went to join Remus in Andrew's room.
"Sweety, you only need two changes of clothes." Remus was saying.
Sirius gaped at the huge neat pile of clothes on Andrew's bed. The kid thought he needed his whole wardrobe!
"I'll come back then?" The boy asked, his eyebrows wrinkled with worry.
"Of course you're coming back!" Sirius lifted his son into his arms. "You aren't going anywhere, my boy! You're going to live with us for a long time!"
Remus cleared his throat. "Sirius, his mother will come back eventually." He whispered.
Sirius grunted. If she tried taking Andrew from him now, he'd have a good word with her. Especially, if she was going to be with that Ted man. He then smiled and hugged Andrew. "Let's get you packed, Smurf. It's only for one night." That's what he kept telling himself anyway. Deep down, he wished time would just fast forward.
"Good news!" James said once they flooed over. "Wormy can join us tonight!"
"Wonderful!" Remus joined his enthusiasm.
"How'd he find time?" Sirius asked.
"Ah, he said he could manage a night without sleep. Wormy desperately needs a night out." James tucked his own bag of items into the pocket of his jeans. He chuckled. "Says he's hearing crying lambs in his sleep."
"Are you sure Lily doesn't mind watching Andrew for the night?" Sirius had yet to let go of his son who was tugging at his arm, trying to break free and find Harry.
"Come on, Daddy!" The four year old whined. "Let go!"
"We'll be fine, Padfoot!" Lily giggled coming in and hugging her guests. "Oh, let him go play, Sirius!" Lily scolded gently.
Andrew took off like a hornet. Sirius watched his son disappear, saddened that he hadn't even said goodbye.
"Ah, he'll be ready for you when you return, Paddy." James said encouragingly. "Harry's always like that at the beginning of a sleep over. Then, when I go to pick him up, I can't pry him off my leg!"
"It's true." Lily agreed, frowning at how hard Sirius was taking it.
"It's just that..." Sirius paused, tossing his hands up. "Never mind!" He huffed. "Let's go get Wormy!"
"Wait, Dad!" Harry came running in on his broom, galloping like it was a horse. He stopped by James to give him a hug. "Love you!" Then he gave his uncles hugs too.
Andrew ran to Sirius, tucking his head against his legs. Sirius bent down to the boy. "What's wrong?" He whispered, hugging him.
"I'll miss you." Andrew whimpered. "Swear you'll come back?"
Sirius smiled, kissing his forehead. "I swear it, Smurf."
"We'll be back, Little man, we're just having a sleep over ourselves." Remus added, squeezing Andrew's shoulder gently.
Andrew then lunged for Remus, hugging him good bye too. Sirius could tell Remus was having a hard time keeping a flow of tears from running.
"Ready?" James asked eagerly, and he accio'ed his broom. "No rain in the forecast, I am excited!"
They rode on broom to Wormy's place, which was an hour away. Wormy was still busy making preparations for his leave, but after twenty minutes of instructions to his wife and double checking of things, he finally kissed her before taking off with the other Mauranders.
As they traveled to one of their favorite inhabited forests to play in the moon light during Remus' transformation, Lily was having a surprisingly quiet evening with the boys.
Since Andrew was from the Muggle world, she suggested they played Connect Four and a few other games both him and Harry were familiar with.
They decorated Lily's biscuits she made with rainbow sprinkles, and called them "Fairy Ears".
Once they were settled in bed caught in a series of whispers and giggles, Lily cleaned up the mess they had made. Biscuit crumbs, game pieces, and whatever toys the boys had managed to grab in a moment of their playing.
"Lily." She barely heard her friend's voice. While he was a quiet man, he was extra quiet knowing she may have a sleeping child in the house.
"It's okay, Sev, they aren't quite asleep yet." She told him, greeting him at the floo.
"They?" He followed her to the kitchen where they sat down.
"Andrew came over while Remus and the others went out for the night."
Severus nodded in understanding. "Here." He held out a vial with creamy yellow liquid inside it.
"What's this?"
"The test. All you need is a strand of his hair. Drop it in; if it changes color, he's infected."
"They have potions for this?" She asked shocked.
"It's new. I didn't even know about it until tonight."
Lily poured him a cup of tea. "We should ask Sirius before we do this." She said warily.
"We promised we wouldn't tell." Severus reminded her.
She sighed. "I know... it's just... What if Andrew is infected? We can't not tell Sirius then."
"We will wait for her to wake up and then she can tell the man." Severus told Lily. "If Andrew has Nemer's he should be given potions for it to help slow his symptoms. Recent studies have shown that potions at an early age could even demolish the disease completely. We need to do this."
Lily chewed her lip, still undecided.
"Audrey would want us to do it." He pushed gently.
"Fine..." Lily finally said. "I just hope it's negative."
