loisa: I couldn't have Andrew going in the story without a familier. :) As we know, Langston did his best to protect Andrew, and Andrew looked up to him because of it. Langston... such a sad predicament that poor kid is in. :(

Chapter 23: The Very Best Birthday Gift
"Wake up!" The sound of Andrew's voice sent Remus bolting up from his sleep. His eyes squinted tiredly looking for the boy. He smiled when he seen the huge grin on Andrew's face. Andrew was at the end of the bed, leaning over it, waiting in anticipation.
"Happy birthday to me!" He cheered and climbed in between the two wizards. He got up onto his feet and started jumping up and down. "Wake up, Daddy!" He said. "I'm five today!"
"Wha-" Sirius rolled over to look up, knocking down the excited kid. Andrew giggled as he fell into Remus' lap.
"Happy birthday, little man." Remus hugged the boy.
"Thanks! Can we go to my party now?"
"What time is it?" Sirius rubbed his itchy eyes. "Shit, it's only five, Andrew!" In one swift motion, Sirius lay back down, tossing the blanket over his head.
"It's the perfect time to get up, since I am five today." Andrew said proudly, smacking his father on the chest.
"Oof! Stop that!" Sirius turned his back on him. Sirius was not a morning person.
"Come on, Andrew." Remus said, getting out of bed and stretching. He dressed himself quickly. "You know how your Dad is in the morning."
Andrew giggled, knowing what was going to come next.
Remus grabbed his wand and took away the blankets and pillows from the bed. Sirius, now in just his briefs, cursed again, and glared at Remus. "Give me back the blankets, Moony! I'm freezing!"
"Sorry, Paddy!" Remus laughed. "Time to get up!"
"I swear if I catch you, I'll turn you green!" Sirius snarled at Remus, and began making his move.
Remus chuckled before snatching Andrew and disapparating down to the kitchen. The boy laughed.
"What if he catches you?" Andrew asked.
"Then I turn green." Remus kissed him and set him on the ground. "So, bacon, muffins, and eggs?" He asked, summoning the frying pan from the top cupboard and placing it on the cook stove.
"With cheese!" Andrew added, climbing into his chair. "When can I go to my party?"
"Not 'til much later, Little Man." Remus answered. "It doesn't start until noon."
"Noon!" The boy gasped as if it was the most horrible news he had ever heard. Remus was beginning to see a lot of Sirius in Andrew. He grinned at the overdramatic response.
"You knew it was noon already." Remus told Andrew with a chuckle. "No surprise, kid."
"But it so far away!" He wailed. "Like a century!"
"No. Like a bit over six hours."
"Alright, Remus," Sirius growled playfully at the doorway, sleep still in his eyes, but he was fully dressed. "You owe me."
Remus lifted his spatula in defense as Sirius came into the room to attack, a pretend sneer on his face.
"Whatcha gonna do with that?" Sirius asked, eyeing the kitchen tool. "Hit me with it?" Sirius then grinned wickedly. "Actually, I might like that."
"Oh, sit down, you!" Remus giggled and pushed him away. He smacked him on the backside for good measure.
Sirius jumped and spun around, giving Remus a look. He pointed a finger. "Later, Moony..." he growled. "I'll get my revenge... when there's no witnesses."
"Can't wait." Remus smirked, returning to the bacon he was frying.
"Happy birthday, Smurf!" Sirius ruffled up Andrew's hair like he did every morning, making the boy giggle.
"Gifts?" He asked his father.
"You haven't even had breakfast!" Sirius scoffed.
"Please?!" The boy begged.
"How can you say no to that little, cute face?" Remus asked his boyfriend.
Sirius grinned. "I can't!" He took out his wand and tapped the table with it. A small blue wrapped giftbox appeared instantly. Just to humor his son, Sirius levitated it to him.
"I can open it?" He asked without taking his shining eyes off of the gift.
"Go on!" Sirius said, with just as much as excitement.
Andrew didn't need to be told twice, his tiny fingers tore into the wrapping, making it fly everywhere. Kreacher, sensing the mess immediately, apparated into the kitchen. He cleaned it up swiftly, before taking a seat next to Andrew to watch him receive his gift.
Andrew squealed when he seen his gift and lifted it out of the box. His mouth gaped open in surprise. "A wand?" He asked, almost soundlessly.
"It's just a play one, but it's charmed to do all kinds of things. It's one of the newest toys out there, Andrew."
Andrew swished the toy around, making noises to go along with his moments. "I am the greatest wizard of all time!" He said, trying to mimic a deep voice. "Bad guys, beware!" He pointed the wand, making a streak of yellow light shoot out of it with great speed. The streak bounced from wall to wall with a rubbery sound before it disappeared.
"Wicked!" Andrew eyed his new toy like it was the most amazing thing ever. "Thanks, Daddy!" He jumped off his chair and raced to hug his father.
"You're welcome, Smurf. And thank you for being my son!"
"Are we too excited for breakfast?" Remus asked, sending plates of food to the table.
"Nope!" Andrew hurried to his chair to eat. He held on to his play wand through out the whole meal.
* * *

"Here, Uncle Remus!" Harry excitedly shoved a big box into Remus arms.
"Thanks, Harry." Remus muttered painfully as corner had rammed into the most sensitive part of his body.
"Where's Andrew?" Harry looked around for his friend.
"Andrew's in the courtyard, swinging with Luna." Remus told Harry. Harry made a beeline at the direction Remus pointed to.
"We may have invited too many." Sirius commented, taking the box from Remus.
"Ah, they're just excited. Their kids. It's a party."
"Parties when I was growing up were no where near as fun." Sirius grumbled. "Pureblood parties... complete borefest."
"We can be thankful it's different for Andrew then." Remus squeezed Sirius hand.
"Moony! Padfoot!" Their friend greeted friendlily. James came strolling in with a huge grin on his face. He had his arms full of brooms. Six or seven. "I went into my vault and got these out, I thought perhaps there may be some people who may not have a broom. Or at the very least, one as good as even my lamest one." He chuckled, setting them in a corner of the kitchen.
"Thanks, we may need them for our quidditch match." Remus said.
Lily came in then with a huge cake in her arms. "Someone help! Quick!" She pleaded. The three wizard instantly relieved her of the cake and, together, they placed it on the counter. Lily took a deep with in relief, wiping her forehead. "I almost thought it was going to fall!"
"Wormy coming?" James asked.
"Yeah, we invited both him and Donna. They said they would come. Wormy said he wasn't going to pass up on free food." Sirius replied.
Lily laughed. "That's Wormy for you! Is Sev here yet?"
"Haven't seen him." Remus answered. "Haven't heard from him in a few days actually."
Lily nodded before going off to find Luna's mother to talk with.
"Should we have a father/son quidditch match then?" James asked.
"And what about all those little girls Andrew invited?" Remus asked.
"There's only like three, right?" Sirius asked. "They could find something else to do for an hour."
"Or maybe we can have them play too." Remus suggested.
"Four year old little girls? Wont they get hurt?" James asked.
"No more than a little boy!" Molly snapped, as she came into the kitchen escorted by Netti. "You are just a lovely thing!" She cooed over the house elf.
"Netti thanks Mrs. Molly Weasley for the kind compliment."
"Now, Ginny can play just as good as the rest of them!" Molly shook a finger, scolding the wizards. "Just because she's a girl doesn't mean she's any more fragile than your little boys!"
"Well, you heard her!" Remus told them.
James shrugged. "If you say so. Us men, we can get a bit rough though."
Sirius chuckled, but said nothing, giving Remus the idea that he was keeping a crude comment to himself.
An hour later, most of their guests had arrived so Remus and Sirius set up a double sized quidditch match, since there were enough people who wanted to play. Each team had at least four kids, and only the kids were allowed to be the beaters. They used a junior quidditch set which was made of harmless balls.
James sat high up in the sky with Harry below him, both the Seekers of their team. The Seekers of the other side were Wormy and his wife. Wormy wasn't any good, but Donna had been an excellent seeker for Hufflepuff back in Hogwarts. Her and James were friendlily taunting each other with hand signals; once rivalries.
Remus sat in one of the bleachers, having an idea the James was going to win easily if Sirius' side didn't score enough quaffles in the goals. Both James and Harry were excellent seekers.
Andrew and Sirius hovered by the goal. They were the keepers of their team. They would probably do an excellent job keeping the other team from scoring. Sirius had been working hard with Andrew and in just two weeks, Andrew picked up the position quickly.
Molly blew the whistle, sending the teams off into play. Fred and George, Sirius' beaters were the first into action, passing the bludger skillfully back and forth until one (Remus didn't know who), pelted it toward James who saw it coming just at the last moment.
"Nice try, munchies!" James cackled teasingly, speeding off out of range.
Meanwhile, Ginny, a chaser just scored for James' team, getting the quaffle passed Andrew. She spat her tongue out at the twins who did the same back.
"Blue Team in the lead!" Molly announced.
"Hello." A voice pulled Remus from the game. Severus stood behind him.
"Ah, we thought you had changed your mind." Remus said, standing up.
"I... was busy getting my gift." Severus said, his eyes finding Andrew up in the sky at the goal. "He's actually not bad."
"Nope." Remus agreed with a smile. "So it's not like you to wait until the last minute on things..."
"I wasn't given much notice." Severus said lazily. "But I'd wager that I have brought the best one of all."
"Your invitation didn't surprise only you, Severus." Remus said. "Where is the gift anyway?"
"Right there." Severus pointed off to the side of the bleachers.
Remus looked but all he saw was a group of kids playing wizard's tag. Kids who weren't into the quidditch sport.
"I don't see anything, Severus."
"Langston!?" Andrew called out. The five year old quickly forgot about his game and raced on his broom as fast as he could to a boy Remus had failed to notice in the crowd of kids.
