Isabella lent against the counter in the kitchen watching as the twins helped Sirius make pancakes, the kitchen looked like a battle ground but Isabella really didn't want to clean up so she left it too Harry when he woke up. Isabella watched as Hope attempted to break an egg but only dropped it to have it smash on the floor with the yolk and white everywhere.
"Oops!" Hope grinned.
"Don't tell me, did the twins do something?" Isabella looked up to see Harry his hair messy and wearing a pair of green silk pyjama pants.
"Morning Daddy!" the girls giggled, covered in flour.
"Good morning girls, Sirius, Izzie." He sat down on the stool but stood back up and picked the melted butter paper from the chair. The girls giggled again.
"Daddy, what are we doing today?" Truth asked as Sirius poured the rather lumpy liquid into the frying pan and flipped it.
"Hermione and Ron have invited us all to the beach."
"THE WEASELS!" Sirius looked over his shoulder at the gapping twins and the pancake he'd flipped fell on, amazingly, Isabella.
"SIRIUS!" Isabella shrieked.
"Sorry Izzie." Sirius smirked.
"Girls, don't be rude." Harry snapped.
"We're not." Hope grumbled.
"I'm going to get changed. You four should do the same." Harry stood up and turned to leave.
"Don't you want pancakes? Hope and I made 'em!" Truth smiled proudly.
"I think there's more mix on you two than in the frying pan." Harry smiled. "I mean three." Sirius poked his tongue out. He was covered in not only flour, but butter, egg, milk and smudge blue berries.
"Come on girls." Isabella led the two girls over to the table and set it up and placed down the lumpy blueberry pancakes.
"So what are we going to do today?" Hope asked. Isabella smiled.
"We're going to remind them of the past." Sirius winked.
"What do you mean?" Hope asked Truth looked up as well.
Isabella sighed. "It's complicated."
"Why does everyone say that?" Truth demanded.
"Just eat your pancakes and get ready."
Julian dreaded seeing the 'terrible two' as he'd dubbed the Potter twins. He sat on the sand next to his sisters, Morgan and Diana, awaiting the end of his day. His mum and dad were arguing over some pointless thing again. He closed his eyes to enjoy the warm sun when…
"WEASELS!" He, and his sisters, were knocked over by a silver-blonde and black blur.
"AHH!" Julian tried to jump away but to no prevail.
"Hey red Weasels!" Truth grinned, inches from Julian.
"Uh…hi…" Julian backed away, blushing.
"Guess what! We invited Mr Draco!" Truth grinned. Julian raised an eyebrow, the guy who'd fought over the tomato sauce with his dad?
"Uh…ok…" Julian was at a loss for words. Morgan though seemed to have a lot to say…
"Do you know it's RUDE to bowl into someone?" Her eyes were flaming and she glared angrily at the twins, who completely ignored her.
"Look here he is! HEY MR DRACO!" Truth and Hope waved at the approaching man who waved back.
"You invited ferret-boy!" Ron ragged. Harry smiled weakly.
"Well its more like the twins invited him." Harry backed away slightly. Sirius sat on the sand next to the group of kids and removed his sunglasses.
"So Hope, Truth, you both know what to do?" He winked. Hope and Truth nodded with identical mischief smiles and saluted. Draco finally came to the group and the twins jumped up to greet him.
"Hi Mr Draco!"
"Hey girls, how are you?" Draco smiled.
"Hope, Uncle Sirius and I made pancakes!" Truth grinned.
"Really?" Draco smiled at the two. Harry smiled softly.
"Do you kids wonna go swimming?" Isabella asked, pulling of her sun dress to reveal her white bikini.
"Looking good Izzie!" Sirius whistled all he got was a stinging hex. "Hey! It was a complement!"
"Your charm has never left you." Isabella complimented sarcastically.
Sirius buffed his nails. "I know."
"I was being sarcastic." Isabella took Hope and Truth's hands, Julian, Morgan and Dianna followed them down to the waves. The others lay back on the beach. It was around lunch that Isabella and the kids returned. Hope sat next to Draco and Truth sat on Harry's lap.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Truth complained and a small growl followed from her stomach. Harry chuckled and pulled out some food. Sirius caught the twin's eyes and winked. The two nodded and looked.
"Mr and Mrs Weasel and the rest of you Weasels, and Izzie and Sirius, wonna come seashell hunting?" Hope asked standing up. "Mr Draco and Daddy can mind the stuff!" Ron, Hermione, Isabella, Sirius and the Weaseley children, followed the Potter twins over to the rocks, leaving Draco and Harry behind.
"So…" Harry trailed off not sure what to say.
"So, the twins said you saw Dumbledore yesterday." Draco thought of the first thing, this seemed the make Harry tense and he regretted it.
"I-It was nothing." Harry muttered. The two sat in silence not sure of what to say. "So how have you been for the last five years?"
"Alright. As you know I took over all my father's businesses and got engaged to Pansy." He ended it with a small shiver. "You?" He was rather eagre to find out what Harry did after leaving.
"Well I quit Arura training before I left to Australia. I took up Quidditch after the twins were born and I'd meet Isabella and hired her." The tension between the two was so thick one cold cut it with a knife. The two talked about small things.
"-And when McGonagall caught us in the broom closet!" Draco cackled. The two were rolling on the ground laughing.
"'Inappropriate activities.'" Harry micked in-between laughter.
"They were good times." Draco laughed. Harry only nodded.
"And what, may I ask, are you two laughing over?" The two looked up to see Isabella's warm smile, in her arms she held a sleeping Truth, behind her was Sirius hold a sleeping Hope, Hermione held Chris and Ron with Dianna and Morgan and Julian walking behind.
"Nothing." Harry smiled getting up and taking Hope. "I guess we'll be going now?" Draco also stood up and stretched.
"I should be going." He nodded to them before turning and leaving. Harry hugged Hope closer and smiled slightly.
"I know that look." Isabella grinned slyly.
"What look?" Harry asked, smiling innocently. Isabella only grinned, while Sirius picking up their stuff. "Thanks guys. See you all tomorrow?" Hermione and Ron nodded before Sirius, Isabella and Harry left.
"I see you were having fun with Draco." Sirius grinned.
"We were just talking." Harry couldn't hide his smile.
"You know, it would have been the perfect opportunity to tell him." Harry's smile faded and he looked at his feet.
"Now really isn't the best time, and I'm not just saying that to put it off, now really isn't good." Isabella got the drift and glanced at Sirius.
"What are you going to tell the twins?" Sirius asked quietly.
"Hopefully it won't go to the point were they have to know." The three lapsed into silence.
