I Will Not Bow Down

Sixty-One: Teenage Life

221 B

The group was together as they had planned to go to the movies with Sirius and Remus being the chaperones, even Draco was going, it was going to be a learning experience for him. He had been more open and was finding everything fascinating.

"Do you think we are going to get there on time?" Ron asked excitedly about going to the movies. Ginny, Luna, Meloni, and Hermione had taken to one side of the room and they were talking altogether, they would occasionally pull Clarise with them.

"Yes," Harry said. He kept hearing the noises coming from his parent's room, they were on a case and needed to get ready.

"We are here," Sirius said coming inside the room and Draco walked inside looking at the place and was shocked about seeing everything. He was rather shocked, but he could see everyone around, it surprised him. He could tell the home was large, but it was homey.

"Your parents are not here?" Remus asked.

"They are getting ready for a case, it is at Nine and needs them to go undercover," Harry told them. Draco was confused about this one. He didn't know too much about what Holmes did outside of Hogwarts.

"Uncle Sirius!" Nicholas and Clary said.

"Hey, I brought treats," Sirius said.

"I hope those are not going to be sneaked inside the theater," they all looked up to see Joan standing there and the boys eyes went wide.

"What?" Joan asked.

"Momma, you looked beautiful," Clary said with a smile.

"Thank you," Joan said with a smile. She had not thought anything about the dress Anthea had given her to wear. It was a long wine-red gown that covered her shoulder before it went down, one side had a slit enough to let her legs free in-case she needed to fight. That was not the thoughts going through the boy's minds as they thought Dr. Watson looked beautiful.

"How bad is the case?" Remus asked.

"It's been difficult, couples have gone missing and then found dead in the ditch, but they are coming from affluential parties," Joan replied. The boys kept looking at Joan with a blush in their faces.

"Joan, before you give Harry's friends their awakening, we should really be going," Sherlock told her as he came inside with a suit himself. "Harry, did you get the money?"

"Yes," Harry told his Dad knowing to look under the skull for the money to go out.

"We'll make sure the kids are safe," Sirius told them.

"We know," Joan said.

"If not, Mycroft will be looking over just to be sure," Sherlock told them. Draco was sort of confused, as he had met Mycroft Holmes and he was a terrifying man.

"We know, I should also mention that we got tickets to the Quidditch World Cup," Sirius told them.

"Oh, that is this year?" Joan asked.

"Yeah, I got tickets for everyone,"

"I am not going," Sherlock told Sirius, who knew this was going to be the answer but at the same time knew that wasn't going to be the last word.

"Actually, it might be interesting," Joan told them.

"We should be on our way," Sherlock told her leading her away before she agreed to anymore.

"Alright, be careful," Joan tells them. "We'll talk about everything else later," as the two left, Harry smiled.

"We are so going to the Quidditch World Cup!" Harry said.

"Didn't your Father said no," Draco told him. He had known that when his father had said no his mother tended to follow his lead even when she didn't want to. It had been now that she had found her rebellious side, but it was mainly done because of Sirius.

"Everyone knows Doctor Joan has the final say," Ron told him.

"Alright stop your gossiping or we're going to miss the movie," Sirius said.

Party

Joan and Sherlock were at the Gala looking around before Sherlock took Joan and they went dancing to get closer to the suspect.

"Have you seen him?" Joan asked.

"Yes, we will need to get him alone," Sherlock told her.

"You mean, I have to get him alone?" Joan said.

"Unfortunately," Sherlock said with a frown. He spun her out and Joan had a frown on her face making it seem that she was not to entirely happy with Sherlock. They got the attention they wanted as the man came closer.

Theater

The young teens were having fun, in doing such a muggle thing. Harry and Hermione were holding hands pretty much ignoring the rest of the group.

"Should we say something?" Sirius said looking at his godson.

"No, don't embarrass them," Remus told him.

"It's our job to embarrass them," Sirius whispered.

"The ladies will kill us," Remus said, and he was not looking forward to that one.

"Fine," Sirius said. "It's about time though,"

"Shh..." Remus said.

"So are we ignoring that their holding hands," Meloni told Draco, he looked to the side to see Hermione and Harry.

"I thought they had been dating," Draco said but Meloni shook her head.

"In our dreams," Meloni said.

"Not in mine, finally," Draco said with a soft laugh. They continued to share popcorn.

"You okay?" Hermione asked Harry.

"Yeah, my scar feels a little hot though," Harry said tapping his hand in the forehead.

"Do you want me to tell Sirius and Remus?"

"No," Harry said squeezing her hand. "It will be alright,"

"Alright," Hermione said squeezing back.

Joan and Sherlock were running down the alley chasing the killer and Joan was thankful for magic as she was able to change to boots to run.

"He is going up," Sherlock told her.

"We are getting going to talk about this," Joan said as they climbed to get up to the rooftops.

"Of course," Sherlock said.

Merlyn and Arthur were spending time together but, Merlyn was feeling things happening in Magic.

"Are you alright?" Arthur asked as he had seen her act this way before when Grindelwald and Voldemort began to take power.

"No, I think something happens," Merlyn told him. They heard the door open to the library and they saw Mycroft was not happy but at the same time he was holding his child in his arms, he had fallen asleep.

"Myc?" Merlyn asked.

"One of the witches went missing and I don't like the fact that Ludo Bagman just thought to informed me as if it didn't matter?" Mycroft said a bit agitated. He felt Evan moved in his arms and he breathed to calm down.

"Did you send someone to look for her?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, she was pregnant and with Bellatrix still out, it can be dangerous," Mycroft told them. Merlyn and Arthur looked at each other as they knew that dark things could be done to a pregnant woman.

Unknown to them a muggle was being killed for listening to something that he shouldn't have.
