It's all over in the end...I can die of humiliation ---TBD

I opened the bottle of soda and took a swig.  "So... why are we all gathered in here?  Is the new meeting place for covert operations or something?" I asked, wanting to see what stories they would all come up with.

I grinned as our daughter was glaring at her brother now. " Just talking about stuff.." I said as I grinned over to Ember as she shook her head and Lenni looked angry. Yet incredibly red. Running a hand through my hair, " You know...pop sounds good.." I looked to my son as he was looking as if he won the lottery.

I reached into the fridge and grabbed one for my dad.  "Here you go," I said.  "You know... I've been thinking.  Why don't we all take a little family get together?  Get Harry here and away from the Dursleys, go over to the Lupins... we all can go swimming.  Maybe play a some water games -- like chicken.  Lucy could get on Dad's shoulders, Lenni on Uncle Remus's," I suggested, grinning.  And to make it seem like it was just a nonchalant pair up, I had to add, "Then Aunt Chloe could be on my shoulders, Mum on Will's... make it like a family mix up or something."  I just wanted to see how red Lenni would get with the idea of being on Uncle Remus's bare shoulders.

I smiled slightly.  "I do agree on the getting Harry away from the Dursleys," I added.  "But he should be involved with more than scorekeeping, Dean."  I knew what my son was trying to do and I would not let him get away with it.

I smirked as I received a look from Ember as I gave her a grin. " That always sounds like a plan...get the group of us together...and I think Harry would rather come here..." I had agreed with Ember to lighten her up a bit. I noticed how red in the face Elena was getting. I wondered why she didn't want to tell us about her crush. Right because we would, well technically are tearing the mickey out of her and she knows it. " We could just give Remus and Chloe a shout to let them know we're coming.." I suggested.

I nodded.  "Lenni, I think you can handle that, can't you?  Letting Uncle Remus know that you're - we're - coming over," I said, downing the rest of my soda.  I wondered how much more red Elena could get because this was just the beginning of my plan against her.

I felt the heat rising to my face as my dad and brother were talking. I wanted to make them both hurt for teasing me. I will get them back, no matter what mum seems to think. I would make them both pay. Hearing Dean wake me up from my plans, " I can handle letting them know we're coming..." I said as I left the room to the fireplace.

I laughed and rubbed my shoulder as my mum just slapped it.  "Hey!  What was that for?" I asked, moving away from her.  I could not believe that she hit me.  I mean, I knew why, but still.

I picked up some powder and threw it in the fireplace. " Lupin Cottage" I said as I waited for someone to answer me. I pulled my hair into a ponytail while I waited. Dean and dad were going to pay for this. If he pulls something when we get there I will not have a brother, I'll have a sister.

I heard someone in our fireplace and walked over to it.  "Oh... hey Lenni," I said, kneeling down.  "What do you need?"  I figured that something was going to go down.

I smiled, " Hey Lu....parents and my idiot of a brother want me to let you know we're on our way over. " I told her as I shrugged. "Apparently they want to play chicken..." I said simply as I was not going to voice out what Dean has started driving me nuts about. " But, giving you a warning of the black's coming over."

I chuckled.  "We'll be ready for you guys," I said, smiling as Lenni left.  I walked outside where the rest of the family was.  "Oi!  The Blacks are coming over!" I yelled at them as I was not entirely close enough to speak to them normally.  "Just a heads up."

I took a side step away from Ember, to avoid the same punishment from Ember. I smiled as Lenni hurried out of the room. I looked back to my wife who was giving me a look. " What?" I asked her, " I didn't do anything."

I heard Lucy's lovely tones from beneath the water and rose to the surface.  "I wondered how long it would take them with a nice day like this," I commented, shaking my head and pulling myself onto the dock.  Sometimes my werewolf had some dog-like tendencies come out in me, like shaking a bit to get water off of me.

I rolled my eyes at the two of them.  "You two are horrible," I said in a whisper, glaring at them.  "leave her alone.  Do you understand those three words?"
