The evening, so far, had been quite peculiar to Luca and (Y/n). Both their partners told them they were to drive to London a few hours ago. When the siblings asked about where they were going, either their mother or father would reply with, "You'll see when we get there, darling."
Those replies were what made Luca and (Y/n) glance at one another, out of the corners of their eyes, and mutually frown in puzzlement. After arriving in London, the two eagerly waited to see what the mystery destination was.
When the vehicle finally came to a stop, they instantly opened the car doors and stepped onto the sidewalk and empty street. They couldn't help but continue to frown in puzzlement, for they both had never been to this muggle-looking street before.
"Grimmauld Place?" said (Y/n), confusedly. "What are we doing in some muggle neighbourhood?"
"You'll see," repeated Aoife, with a subtle smile.
Once the whole family was out of the car, Otto and Aoife walked into the street and whipped out their wands. There was some nonverbal spell the adults cast, and suddenly, there was a soft rumbling sound.
The younger witch and wizard couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the buildings moving, especially due to one appearing after they moved. Even after being surrounded by magic all their life, the two had never seen anything quite like that.
Dark and dirty were the most accurate words to describe the building that was no longer hidden. It also appeared older and dusty compared to the other houses of the entire building.
"What is this place?" wondered Luca.
From annoyance, Otto simply rolled his eyes from another question and walked towards the dusty building that had '12' over it. Aoife, Luca and (Y/n) followed behind him and went up the stairs that led to the front door. The sound of loud knocks were produced when the father's fist collided with the surface of the door. Almost instantly, the door swung open, and this time the siblings gasped in both shock and delight.
"Uncle Padfoot!" they proclaimed in unison.
They ran up to the man and tackled him to the hallway's floor with a hug. The lot of them giggled cheerfully, and Sirius Black groaned with a chuckle.
"Get off of me, already! You're both bigger than when I saw you last — you weigh a ton!"
"Did you just call us fat, Uncle Padfoot?" asked (Y/n) in a passive aggressive tone.
"No, darling, just stand up, please!"

Several years ago, when he was a student at Hogwarts, Otto was close friends with the infamous Marauders. He was never close enough with them to become a Marauder himself, yet he was close enough to know about Remus Lupin being a werewolf, and when Sirius escaped Azkaban he sent Otto a letter explaining everything that was misunderstood.
