Flandre-sama: Yes, Andrew is soooo cute!
loisa: I had a difficult time chosing between the two; to be honest.
This was such a fun chapter *hearts*
Chapter 37: The Reminiscing
Andrew gripped his arms around Audrey. "No!" He wailed. "You can't go! Mummy!"
Audrey undid his arms from around her and bent to his level. "I can't stay here, baby." She told him softly, brushing his bushy hair from his face. She smiled at how alike it was to his father's.
He started crying. "But you just got here! I don't want you to leave! You'll get sick again! And I won't be able to see you!"
"No, Andrew, I am all better now. Mummy just has to get her body back to normal again, and then you can come with me."
Andrew shook his head vigorously. "But I want to stay here!" He told her. "With Daddy and Remus! I don't want to go back to Ted! That lady said I wouldn't have too!" Fear appeared in his eyes.
"And Daisy was right." Audrey said firmly. "You'll never have to worry about Ted no more. Mummy's sorry for ever having him around you, okay?"
"You swear it? I wont have to go back? Ever?"
"I swear it, now give Mummy a kiss." She pulled him to her and he gave her a long one on her cheek. "I love you, Andrew." She hugged him. "I'll come back tomorrow, kay?" She smooched his forehead.
"Kay, Mummy. I love you too!"
"So, you're staying with Snape?" Sirius asked bitterly.
Audrey smirked. "That really bothers you, doesn't it? Well..." she glanced at Andrew. "He's a bit more understanding than some people I know." She gave him a look to let him know who exactly she was talking about.
"The world is against me." She heard him mutter as she turned her back, grabbing a fistful of floo powder.
"Yes, everyone in the world wants to make your life a living mess." She said with sarcasm.
Remus chuckled. "See you tomorrow, Audi. Welcome back, by the way."
She flashed him a smile, giving him a thumbs up. "Congratulations, Remus." she said motioning toward Sirius. "And I am not jealous for one minute." She giggled, stepping into the fireplace and tossing down the powder to her feet, waving to her little boy before disappearing.
"Netti welcomes back Miss Audrey!" The house elf bowed.
"Thank you, Netti."
"Can Netti do anything for Miss Audrey?"
"I am fine, thank you."
"Dinner is almost ready."
"Alright, I'll go wash up. Where's Severus?"
"Master Severus has went back to Emerald Stones. Master has an important potion brewing that must be stirred."
Audrey nodded. "Don't forget to dish yourself a serving, Netti."
Netti's ears wiggled happily as she smiled widely. "Yes, Miss! Netti thanks Miss Audrey."
When they were sitting, Netti boosted on a bunch of Severus' old brewing magazines, Audrey informed Netti about her day.
"Young Andrew is a very cute human. Netti thinks Young Andrew is a wonderful boy."
"Thank you. I would love to meet your own someday."
"Netti would love to introduce Miss to Bunns."
"Evening." Severus said, stepping into the kitchen.
Audrey smiled. "Netti saved you some."
Severus glanced at his house elf. "Of course she did." He said dryly, sitting down and allowing Netti to serve him. "Thank you."
"The Master is welcome."
Severus wasn't too hungry, but he ate a few bites so Netti wouldn't think he didn't like her food. "Audrey, there's something you should know about Langston."
"Is he okay?" She instantly went on the alert.
"Yes, he's fine. It seems his mother was a witch though."
Her eyes grew wide. "No way!"
Severus smirked at her slang. "So way." He teased with a drawl. "Anyway, I hired an inspector to research her. You'll never guess who she was related to."

"Audrey!" James pounced onto her as soon as she flooed in after being told by Kreacher that Sirius and Remus were at the Potters visiting.
"Hey, Prongs." She said, hugging him back. "How have you been?"
"Just terrific!" He exclaimed. "I heard about everything; Good to hear you're doing better."
"Thanks." She looked around. "Where's Andrew?"
James laughed. "Playing with Harry. Come on. We renovated Sirius' old room into a play room." He gestured her to follow him through the house.
"The house hasn't changed a bit." She noted.
"No reason to change something so good, is there?"
"Not at all."
"Mummy!" Andrew ran to Audrey, smashing into her with excitement. "Come meet Harry." He pulled her to James' son. "He's right here." He said setting a hand on the boy.
"Hello!" Harry said warmly. He was holding a wand.
"Uh..." she looked at James to see if he had noticed.
"It's fake, Audi!" James said with a burst of laughter. "Thanks to Padfoot, I had to get Harry one for his birthday after Andrew got one."
"It's wicked, Mummy!" Andrew said, grabbing his from where he had left it during his distraction of her appearance. "Let's show her!" Andrew said to Harry.
"Kay!"
"String bean, let's make a ring!" The boys said in unison, as if they had rehearsed the rhyme. Several of the toys that had been scattered about formed a ring around the boys.
"That's a neat toy." Audrey commented.
"Ronnie's brothers taught us that one." Harry said proudly.
"Yes, and look, I can turn this blue!" Andrew said holding up a wizard action figure. "Let me think..." he said and stuck out his tongue in thought. "Mr. Floo, you know what to do, I'll point my wand at you and then you'll be blue." A blue streak shot out of Andrew's toy wand and covered the action figure with a blue hue as if it had been dipped into paint.
"Very good, baby!" Audrey clapped.
"Thank you so very much!" The boy grinned, taking a bow, making Audrey giggle. They watched the spell fade, and the action figure's original colors returned.
"One thing wicked about having a pair of twins for friends, huh?" James chuckled. "You learn all sorts of rhyming words."
"Andrew and I pretend we are twins." Harry said.
"Yes, and when Ronnie plays, we are triplets!" Andrew added.
"That's very cute, boys." Audrey said.
"Hey." Sirius and Remus appeared into the doorway. "Thanks for watching Andrew, Prongs." Sirius' eyes set onto Audrey.
"Prongs!" Someone yelled from the den.
"Uncle Peter!" Harry shrieked, darting out of the room. The rest of them followed suit; in a much calmer matter.
By the time they reached the den, Peter had Harry already in his arms, and the boy was in a series of giggles. "No! I don't want any grain! Do I look like a goat to you?!"
Peter tilted his head, observing Harry's face. "You do look like you might be growing a bit of goatee." The man chuckled, tickling the boy's chin, making him squeal.
"No!" Harry protested. "I'm a boy, Uncle Peter!"
"True that, my boy." Peter set Harry down when he noticed the audience.
"Hey Wormy!"
"Oh, good you're all here!" He spead out his arms in excitement. "Guess what!?"
"What?" Remus asked.
"More animals?" James asked.
"You finally got a cattle dog?" Sirius teased.
"Ha, no!" Peter burst out laughing. "I'm going to be a Papa! Donna's pregnant!"
The three men congratulated their friend with loud cheers, back slapping, hand shaking, and even hugging.
"I am so excited! We hope it's a girl."
"A girl would be lovely." Remus said with a thought.
"Lily and I are trying again." James informed.
"Good luck." Sirius told him. "For a girl?"
"Lily wants a daughter." James nodded. "I guess I wouldn't mind a little baby daughter."
"You and Sirius would corrupt those sweet little girls." Remus said with a laugh.
"Yes, I'm keeping my daughter far away from you two." Peter pointed an accusing finger at the two pranksters.
"We aren't that bad." Sirius defended himself.
"The jar of spiders in the Slytherin girls' dorm room was pretty priceless though." James laughed.
"So that WAS you!" Audrey shrieked, causing Sirius and James to duck their heads guiltily. "My God, Louissa Frindle was deathly afraid of spiders; you about scared the life out of her!"
"They weren't poisonous." James said with a shrug.
"That's okay..." Audrey grinned mischievously. "We got even with you."
"Oh?" Remus asked curiously. "What did you do?"
"Remember the pink underwear in 3rd year?"
"That was you?!" Peter gasped.
"Man, we were sure Snape had done that." James said.
"That was pretty embarrassing..." Sirius said with a blush.
"And yet, it still didn't stop you from your pranking." Audrey said with a giggle.
James placed his hands on his hips, and straightened up taller. "Never!"
His friends laughed.
"Were you also the one that turned our fingernails baby dung green?" Sirius asked.
"No, that was definitely the boys' doing. Us girls would have done pink or purple. Severus was the one that thought about the smell though." Audrey put her hand to her mouth, concealing a smirk.
Peter shuddered. "The color was bad enough, but to have your fingers smell like a sack of shat was completely horrid. That man sure had a way in putting an effective impact to his hexes."
"I didn't eat with my fingers for weeks." Sirius grumbled.
"It was pretty awful..." James added with a sick look.
"I have been exposed to many different types of shat but I have never smelled one so foul as that fingernail hex." Peter told them.
The three men had to agree with him on that.
