So, does anyone have any questions for me?

WARDED TO LILY EVANS^blood

[...] Alright. I'll think about the possibility, okay?

	Padfoot to the mountain air. You know me, I'm the best planner there is, and that's even without getting to know the location ahead of time. I've never seen that before with a wedding back home. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You're right. That is the only answer. Because Potter and Black and fun just seem to go together. Sure! What kind of present? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose we'll just have to see. I've missed this. Didn't really have all that much time before... things happened, you know? Back home. You think we could go flying? Maybe grab a few others? After all the worlds it's another thing that fell to the wayside. I've heard stories about you and Sirilla and your skills on brooms! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doggingdoes 2013-05-01 02:27 am UTC (link)
	You've got the time now. But I know. Definitely. I even have extra brooms. No magical ability required to fly them. Grab who you want. If you get to 14, we can do full on quidditch if we want. Or tag. Or anything else. What'd you prefer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And I'm trying to take as much advantage of that as I can. Iota actually placed me with Mum and Dad, Sirius. It's real and surreal and wonderful.

Right now I'd be happy to just do laps. Just to be up in the air again...

I should see if Harry wants to go. Now that he's younger...

[Sirius/Hannah]
It's so strange. Not necessarily in a bad way. I think it caught all of us off guard,

Have you had any awkward teenage/parent experiences yet? Those are classic. And wonderful for that.

Sure thing.

Yes! I love teaching kids how to fly. I used to coach a little league with James.

Sirius/Hannah
It's strange. For the longest time, when I was 30, that was the age he was for me back home. He is as cute and adorable as ever. And he's trying to fill those 19 year old shoes, I think.

Not yet... but I'm sure they'll be happening soon enough. With any luck if [Ginny] joins us, they won't involve the awkward parental questions about his intents. We already have a daughter here!

You're the best! You have no idea how much I've missed it. It really was how I cleared my head back home.

Maybe we can take him flying together. Little league? Like baseball?

Sirius/Hannah
It's hard to remember that he and I were ever that small... We were actually rather small for our ages. That first night at the Hogwarts feast? I ate until my stomach hurt.

I'm seeing that too. And it's something I want to try and convince him not to do, but it's a trait. If I were in his position I'd be doing the exact same thing because it's what people want. It's what the kids want. I reached out to see how they were doing and I know that this is extremely hard for Janie, she was really close to him too. Hell, this is hard for me. He was - and still is - my clone.

He's 11, Sirius. I want for him what we never really got to be... 11 years old.

But I won't lie to him if he asks me questions, I can't.

I want to hear all about them. Come on, I'd love to see that happen. Too bad Artemis left without G[inny] here. She could ask about yours.

Remember it for the future, wonder woman.

Yes. Little league quidditch. We were coaches, James and I.

Sirius/Hannah
I never forget how small you were, any of you. I can still remember holding the trips in my arms, all three of them, wrapped in little blankets. I cannot believe how much they've grown.

You got to be eleven in my world. A happy healthy loved well-fed eleven. He makes the choices for who he is here. And we can't help him being observant on how other people feel, picking up on what they want. Hell, he's hit it off with Moody of all people. I can't really see that, but his call.

We'll give him everything we can. But he's who he chooses to be. How'd you think you'd be here at eleven now?

When Mrs. Weasley arrived she asked if I had anything to tell her... I'll admit, I had a moment of 'oh no... what did I do.' Is that normal when dealing with the in-laws? If so then maybe I can be normal?

I'd never forget it. S. Blacks are all brilliant! And they have the best worst ideas in the world!

I didn't even know they had that! You and dad coached? I assume I...er.. Harry... Screw it, I was on the team?

Sirius/Hannah
The three of them are brilliant. You and Mrs...er... Molly did a great job. I always knew you'd be an amazing mum... er... dad. You know what I mean.

It doesn't surprise me. She's not bad when you get to know her. Just... cautious. Of course, she wasn't exactly her back home. Someone was impersonating her; but that's another story involving Death Eaters and the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I know it's his decision, but I wish that we weren't so stubborn. We hate being left out of the loop.

...he left himself a list of the people who were hanged back in Salem with some other notes. He'll ask me about it and why my name is on the list soon. And I'll have to explain it to him. An 11 year old me.

If I were 11? I'd probably still be revelling in the knowledge that there was a place that I belonged. I'd be a bit confused about everything that everyone expects me to do, but trying my hardest not to let anyone down. For me it would be because I was afraid that if I didn't protect it and do what was expected of me that I'd lose what I just gained. For Harry it might be a bit different, we were always a bit different, subtily, in the way we reacted to things. Boys and girls and what not...

Whatever he chooses, I just want him to know that I'm here for him no matter what happens. He was my older brother before - now he's my younger brother. I just want him to be happy. Maybe show him, like everyone showed me, that this place can be a place to just... enjoy what you have. Time to do things like learn to be an animagi...

Ha, that is always normal when dealing with in-laws and romantic partners' parents. You can be normal, girl. You're extraordinary, but you are normal too.

We also have some of the best best ideas. Yep, we were the best pair of coaches you kids could hope for. We'd both been there in your shoes on brooms. And you got to play quidditch from the start. Yes you.

Sirius/Hannah
Parenting is the most important part of my life, hands down. And the kids, they're what matters most. I hope any me that wants to be a parent gets the chance. It's a life altering experience.

My world's a fair bit difference. We didn't have any of those big wars after Grindelwald. There was too much of a focus on babymaking for wars. It makes it different. I'm living here how I will, and she can live here as she will. At least you know she isn't getting impersonated here. [...] Dear self, please be less stubborn. Stubbornly yours, your other self. I don't think it works like that, love. Our strengths can also be our weaknesses.

For his kid self? Did he know he was going to be a kid? That's a bit harsh, even for you all. But you can do it because you're you and you understand him and it.

We'll have to make sure he know he won't lose us, not in any way he can help. Sometimes the kids can be the best ones at protecting us. There've been more than one world where they've tried. Now he'll be there, and I know he'll do his best.

He'll be making lots of friends, meeting lots of family. We are here for him, all of us, and that shows itself. He will know, in time, that it's true. You know, I want to teach James that, from the games world. He needs a better reason for the old fashioned nickname.

	I'm not going to ask him until I know it's a possibility. Gamma might want to keep him, and he might think we're too young. If he says yes, then I'll ask Harry what he would like. You're really okay with it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
