Chapter Four-Broomsticks and Motorbikes

The next morning Remus woke to lots of noise. Rolling over he looked at the alarm clock on his bedside table. It read 8.23. Quietly as he could so as not to wake Dora, he got out of bed and went into the bathroom. In there he had a quick shower before putting on his clothes from the night before.

As he left the room he ran into James and Sirius who had also been woken by the loud noises.

"What's going on down there?" James asked.

"Yeah it sounds like there's a war going on." Sirius added.

"Harry said it would just be the kids but not even I thought five boys could make that much noise and I grew up with you two." Remus replied.

"Oh very funny Moony" James pushed him. "For that you get to go down first."

"Wuss." Shot back Remus but led the way downstairs anyway.

When they got to the bottom they realised the noise was coming from the door next to the kitchen. Quietly as they could they opened the door. The scene they saw before them was madness. Seated at a large table, with enough food to feed a small army were Harry, Hermione and eleven children and each child was yelling, trying to be heard over everyone else. Suddenly a little boy, who could only be a Malfoy, stood on his chair, pointed at the door and yelled.

"Who are you?"

There was silence and the three marauders found thirteen pairs of eyes on them. Harry stood and rushed over to them.

"Hey sorry, did they wake you? We tried to get them to be quiet but it's nearly impossible. Oh hey you three up as well?" He said looking behind them. The three turned and saw Dora, Lily and Fred had come down too.

"Why don't you all come in and I'll make the introductions?" Harry asked, leading them into the dining room. "Ok so you already know or met Hermione and you met Teddy, James, Sirius, Shaun and Scorpius last night. These others are Ron and Lavender's second child Dylan Weasley; our oldest daughter Lily, better known as Lils; Ginny and Draco's second Lyra Malfoy; their youngest Leo Malfoy; Ron and Lav's youngest Tiffany Weasley and my youngest Jean. Kids these are my parents James and Lily; my godfather Sirius; my father and godfather's best friend and my honorary uncle Remus Lupin and his wife Dora and Uncle George's twin brother Fred."

The children were silent before Dylan looked at Harry and spoke.

"But Uncle Harry I thought these people were all dead."

"Well they were Dylan but it's a long story, one I don't know fully but we're all going to have to wait until everyone else gets here before we go into it."

"Everyone else?" Lily asked.

"Yeah the rest of the Weasleys will be here at lunch as well as Uncle Kingsley, Uncle Albus, Aunt Minerva and Uncle Severus."

"The rest of the Weasleys." Fred said. "Exactly how many more are there?"

"Well" replied Shaun before Harry could. "There's Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur of course, then there's Uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur and their kids Victoire, Dominique and Louis, then there's Uncle Charlie and Aunt Audrey and Josh and Rose, the Uncle Percy and Aunt Penelope with Lucy and Hugo, Uncle George and Aunt Katie and Roxanne and Joel. Then there's mum and dad and Dylan, Tiffany and I and Aunt Ginny and Uncle Draco and Scorpius, Lyra and Leo. I think that's it."

"No" Teddy replied "you forgot Aunt Angelina and Freddie."

Fred turned ashen and had to sit down quickly.

"Freddie, you mean Angelina, she was and she didn't tell me."

"Yeah," Harry told him. "Fred was born in August, three months after the final battle. You kept that secret well. No-one knew you were married until the day of the funeral when George and Katie brought her over and explained what the four of you had done. Your mum was angry at first but as soon as she realised that Angelina was pregnant and she was about to get her first grandchild she couldn't have been happier. Angelina moved into the Burrow that weekend and hasn't left since."

"So he's nearly thirteen then? Does he go to Hogwarts? Where was he sorted?" Harry laughed.

"Yeah he goes to Hogwarts; he's best friends with Teddy here actually. They were two of about twenty students that were sorted into Hogwarts that year and the two of only five people to be sorted into Gryffindor and the only boys to go there. It took a few years for us to recover after the war. There are only about thirty students next year too, four of which are sitting here and you'll meet another today, Charlie's boy Josh.

"So' Remus said looking at James, Sirius, Shaun and Scorpius "these four all turn eleven on Friday?"

The boys grinned up at him.

'Yeah" Harry answered. "Hermione and I rushed into St. Mungo's at midnight to find Ron and Draco who told us that Lavender and Ginny were in labour as well. The press had a field day with it, all of them born on the same day; they were making headlines six hours after they were born." Everyone laughed at this. After a few minutes everyone started talking and eating. During the meal Remus watched Teddy closely but Teddy refused to make eye contact with anyone. He ate quickly and then excused himself and rushed from the house. After waiting a few minutes Remus got up and followed him outside. When he stepped out he realised for the first time how much money Harry actually had. The yard he was looking at would have been a dream come true for any child, magical or muggle. From his spot on the back porch he could see that Harry's property stretched on for miles, right over a hill in the distance. In the immediate yard he could see magical things like brooms and garden gnomes but also muggle toys like a pool and a trampoline. To the side he could see two sheds, one of which was obviously a broom shed. The one next to it though he had no idea about. It was the same size as the broom shed but Remus knew just because it was small on the outside didn't mean it was on the inside. There was a roller door on the front though making Remus think it had something to do with vehicles. Looking around, Remus had no idea where Teddy was. Just as he was realising this he heard a sound behind him. Turning he saw Harry standing in the doorway. Without talking Harry beckoned him to follow, first they walked to the broom shed and Harry walked in but walked straight out again holding a broom case. Then he walked to the other shed and pressed a button next to the door causing it to open. He walked inside and Remus followed. Remus was in awe, surrounding him there had to be close to fifty motorbikes ranging from small children's bikes to large adult ones. The one that captured his attention was the one at the very end on a pedestal. He would have recognised Sirius' bike anywhere.

"Impressive, huh?" Harry asked noticing Remus' awestruck face.

"These all get used?"

"Yeah, each member of the family has their own, except Arthur and Molly and they all get used fairly regularly, except for Sirius'; no-one's allowed to touch that one. I suppose I'll have to add a few more spaces and get a couple more bikes now."

It was as Harry was talking that Remus noticed the gold plates on the stalls, each with the name of the bikes owner. Each stall was also equipped with a helmet and a full set of riding leather including gloves and proper shoes. Finally Harry stopped in front of a stall near the back. This stall's name plate had the name 'Teddy' engraved on it. Looking in Remus saw that the bike was gone, along with the helmet and riding gear.

"Just as I thought," Harry said "his broom and practice snitch are gone too. He'll be down at the quidditch pitch."

"You have your own pitch?"

"Yeah, of course. Now the quickest way there other than apparating, which you can't do because you've never been, or setting up an illegal portkey, which I refuse to do, is taking a bike down."

"Ok."

"Here I've got some spare bikes and gear, you can use those. Unless you want me to take you?"

"No it's ok. I know how."

"Good that's settled then. First though I have something for you."

Harry pulled a long thin box out from under his robes and handed it to Remus. Remus opened it to find…

"My wand. You kept it?"

"Of course. There's also a trunk full of your clothes inside too. I had it all up in the attic and I got it down last night. The only person I don't have anything for is Fred because Molly has it all but I'm sure he'll have his stuff by the end of the day. Now if you leave here turn right and after about two minutes you'll find a dirt track with red and gold flags bordering it. Follow the path for another ten minutes and you'll be at the pitch. Teddy should be there. If he's not send your patronus to me and I'll apparate to you and we'll find him."

"Thanks Harry."

"No worries. Now go. Oh and take this too." Harry told him handing him the broom case. Remus took off and ten minutes later rode over the hill he had been able to see from the house. As he got to the top the sight before him almost caused him to fall off the bike. He found himself at the top of a small valley. Looking down into it he saw an exact replica of the Hogwarts quidditch pitch complete with stands and flags decorated in the four house colours. Remus rode down into the valley and two minutes later found himself outside the pitch. Seeing another bike parked next to the entrance he parked his bike next to it and dismounted. Walking inside he quickly spotted Teddy hovering near the goal posts looking for the snitch. Remus quickly walked into the stands and settled himself in, deciding to watch Teddy for a while before he interrupted.

At the house, Harry had just re-entered after seeing Remus off. He was immediately bombarded by the four ten-year olds asking if he could take them to the quidditch pitch.

"No, Teddy's down there and I think we should leave him alone for a while." Harry told them.

"Oh." They all looked downcast before Scorpius brightened up.

"Can you take us for a ride instead?" He asked excitedly.

"A ride?" the older Sirius asked raising an eyebrow as he, James and Fred joined the group.

"Yeah on the-" Shaun was quickly cut off by Harry placing a hand over his mouth.

"Now boys, we'd hate to ruin the surprise. Why don't we just show them instead?" He asked the four boys surrounding him. They quickly agreed and raced out into the yard. James Sirius and Fred looked at each other and quickly followed.

Out in the yard, Harry and the boys were standing next to the shed holding the motorbikes.

"Messrs Padfoot, Prongs and Forge," Harry addressed them as they stood next to him. "May I welcome you to Phoenix Arena." He pointed to a sign above the door that Remus hadn't noticed earlier.

"Phoenix Arena?" Fred asked.

Harry turned to the boys. "Shaun, do you want to do the honours?"

Shaun rushed over and pushed the button next to the door. The door opened and the eight of them quickly stepped inside. James, Sirius and Fred were gobsmacked. Then Sirius saw his bike on the pedestal at the back of the room. He approached slowly, almost like he was in a trance. When he got to it he just stood there looking at it with tears in his eyes. After a few minutes he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning he saw James and Fred looking over a couple of catalogues and whispering to each other and the boys were putting riding gear on, before he turned his attention to Harry who was standing right behind him.

"You kept it? After all these years?"

"Of course I kept it. From all the stories people told me, I gathered it was your pride and joy and it was the only connection I had left to you other than Grimmauld Place and it wasn't as if you loved it there so I had to keep it."

"Ok. Thankyou."

"No worries, now do you want to ride it?"

"Are you sure? I mean you kept it for this long."

"Sirius, no-one has been allowed on that bike for thirteen years, it's yours. Besides I have my own. And don't worry about it not working after that long; it gets a regular service along with all the others. Your old gear is hanging behind it."

"I don't know what to say, I mean I know I should thankyou but I don't know how I could ever repay you."

"Don't mention it, although all this is your fault."

"My fault?"

"Oh yeah, as soon as Teddy and the twins were old enough to know what it was they wanted their own and then the others kids had to have one so the adults had to get their own and it just snowballed. James and Fred are picking theirs now, I'm just waiting for them to choose then I'll add six more stalls. I'll get Lily, Remus and Dora to pick their bikes later."

"How long do they take to arrive?"

"Instantly, the catalogues are linked straight to the store and each bike comes with its own gear so all you have to do is use your wand to choose the bike and indicate your size and it appears in front of you."

At that moment shouts of delight echoed behind them. Sirius and Harry turned to see James and Fred admiring to brand new bikes and sets of gear. Upon seeing this Harry drew his wand and began whispering incantations. Two minutes later there was a flash of light and six new stalls appeared. The golden nameplates read 'James I', 'Sirius I', 'Fred I', 'Lily I', 'Remus' and 'Dora'. There were also changes made to some of the other nameplates as well. These now read 'James II', 'Sirius II', 'Fred II' and 'Lily II'.

"Ok everyone," Harry turned and addressed them all. "Get geared up then we have something special to show you."

Ten minutes later everyone was geared up and had entered another room behind the pedestal Sirius' bike had stood on. They found themselves looking at an indoor track complete with a racing circuit and jumps as well as an aerial obstacle course for the flying motorbikes. The boys immediately took to the jumps.

"Pretty cool, hey?" Harry addressed the newcomers.

"This is beyond cool." Fred breathed.

"This is wicked." James agreed.

"Well come on, race you." Harry took off, laughing at the others, before they too took off after him. The eight of them spent the next three hours riding around enjoying themselves before Harry sent a patronus message to Remus and Teddy to return and they headed inside to clean up before the rest of the family arrived.

At the quidditch pitch Remus had been sitting in the stands undetected watching Teddy fly for two hours. Suddenly Teddy was flying close to the hoops to catch the snitch when he flew too close and his broom collided with the pole and he was falling. Remus raced down the stands and jumped the fence at the end of the pitch. He ran to where Teddy was sitting against the goalpost with his head in his hands. Remus quickly knelt down beside him.

"Are you ok? How are you still conscious? You just fell fifty feet!"

"I'm ok, just a bit winded." He looked up. "Yeah it was about that but there's a cushioning charm on the whole pitch so if we fall we don't hurt ourselves. Mum insisted on it when I got my first proper broomstick when I turned four. She said that after watching Dad on a broom for twelve years there was no way she was going to risk one of her children getting injured so she invented a spell that makes the whole pitch a giant cushion. Uncle Albus loved it so much he got her to do it at Hogwarts too and then professional stadiums started hiring her as well. Now it's in the guidelines that every new pitch has to have a built in blanket cushioning charm. Uncle Charlie once fell over 200 feet and he hit the ground so hard he bounced and he was fine."

"He wasn't injured at all?"

"Well he had a broken jaw, but that was from the bludger Uncle George hit at him after he bounced back up. Grandma Molly was so mad at him she hexed him off his broom but he was only like four feet in the air. What are you doing here anyway? How did you get here?"

"I saw you leave the house and you looked upset so I followed you outside but you were gone. Harry said you would be down here so he lent me his broomstick and a spare bike so I came down."

"You've been down here all this time?"

"Yeah, I've been watching you from the stands for two hours. You're quite the flyer."

"Yeah well, growing up with Dad, Uncle George, Uncle Charlie, Uncle Ron, Uncle Draco, Aunt Ginny, Aunt Angelina and Aunt Katie, it was sort of inevitable. I've been flying for as long as I could walk. I like flying it makes me feel free, like I know who I am when I'm on a broom. That and being a seeker just comes naturally to me."

"Well it shows, you really are one of the best I've ever seen, you could have given Harry a run for his money when he was your age."

"You're just saying that. I'm not that good."

"You are and I'm not just saying that."

"Ok, thanks I guess."

The two of them sat on the grass in silence for a few moments before Teddy spoke again.

"I'm sorry about last night; I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you or...um…oh."

"Dora."

"Yeah, it's just it was a big shock you know. I mean I don't even know what to call you and it's been thirteen years, this is the only family I've ever know, I don't even remember Grandma Andromeda. Then last night you were talking about us being a family and all I could think was that you were going to take me away and it just became too much. I didn't know what to do and I just snapped."

"Oh Teddy, it's ok, I understand. It's my fault, I didn't think. I just saw you and I forgot that thirteen years had passed and that you knew me about as well as a stranger on the street. I didn't even consider that you would have a family now and for that I apologise."

"It's ok, really I get it and I think I know you a little better than a stranger would."

"True. Now as for what to call me, how about we start with Remus and see how it goes from there."

"Ok thanks…Remus."

"No worries and remember no matter what I'll always love you, even if you don't want to leave your family. I'll understand and respect whatever decision you make and no matter what, my door is always open to you, day or night, just call me and I'll be there for you Cub."

"Cub?"

"Sorry, it's what I called you when you were a baby. If you want me to, I'll stop."

"No, it's ok, don't apologise. Cub. I like it."

"Good, I'm glad. So Cub, did you know I used to play seeker?"

"You, really? No way."

"Yes way. Not many people knew though and I don't think anyone here would have been able to tell you. I only played with James, Sirius and Peter. Not bragging or anything but I wasn't half bad."

"Really? You're probably too old now though, I mean you've been dead thirteen years, that's gotta take its toll right?" Teddy grinned cheekily at the man. Remus shook his head.

"Cheeky Cub, I'll have you know I could quite easily take you on. There's still some fight left in these old bones yet."

"Oh yeah, care to test that theory?"

"Alright, bring it on."

Just as they were mounting their brooms though, a silver stag charged onto the pitch and Harry's voice was heard, telling them to head back so they could be ready for when the rest of the family arrived.

"Oh well" Remus said, landing. "I guess we'll have to take a raincheck."

"Ok" Teddy agreed "but it has to be soon, before I go back to school."

"Deal. Now how about we race back to the house?"

"Ok, I'll be waiting for you at the house. See ya." With that Teddy ran out of the pitch at a full sprint. Remus just laughed and took off after him, glad that he was able to play with his teenage son.

A/N: I'm so sorry this update has taken so long, over a year! I've been so busy that I just never had time and before I knew it here I am. I also lost most of the story when I moved and misplaced the notebook I had it written in so I've had to re-write most of the story and it's turned out completely different to how it was originally and much shorter as well. Hope you like the chapter and that it was worth the wait, I'll try not to make you wait as long for the next chapter, it shouldn't be any more than a week or so. Sorry again. Cheers, RemusLupin1960
