Trapped in time

Chapter 20

Lily paced in front of the fireplace in the head girl and boy common room. James was sure any moment a hole would appear in the carpet. Marlene was lay across one of the sofa with her head resting in Peters lap. Remus was stood reading a book from the bookcase with Sirius on the other side of the room sat brushing his fingers on the keys of the grand piano never pressing hard enough to make a sound. Alice and Frank were whispering to each other on the sofa.

Harry and Draco entered. "Sorry we're late." Harry apologised.
"Don't worry about it Pandora isn't here yet. You can put Alexander and Benjamin down in the nursery Daisy's already asleep in there." James told them Draco nodded and slipped into the nursery with the babies.
"Is mum ok?" Harry asked, eyeing the frantic woman. James stood up wrapped his arms around her waist and gently pulled her towards him so that when he sat down she sat on his lap.
"They went straight down." Draco whispered closing the nursery door.
"Really?" Harry whisper shouted back as Draco walked and sat down next to him.
"Sorry." Pandora called entering the room quickly her face was flushed red as she clutched a letter. She made her way over to the piano and sat next to Sirius. Remus made his way over sitting next to Alice and Frank.
"So Lily and I need to tell you guys something." James started.
"Merlins beard she's not pregnant again is she?" Marlene asked sitting up.
"No no no. At the dance we received a message to go to the astronomy tower. We went and Severus was there. You-know-who has Violet and Dahlia. Severus thinks he's going to be coming for Daisy any day now. Because he thinks their syphons and he need all three girls to have complete access to their powers."
"The ball was a week ago." Sirius frowned.
"James wanted to go to Malfoy manor and get the kids there and then. But I told him we needed a plan. Dumbledore wants us to start the order when we graduate but the truth is we need to start it now." Lily explained.
"I know the manor I can get you in and out without triggering any of the wards." Draco offered.
"You had two babies a week ago your not strong enough what if things go sideways." Harry argued.
"I'll be fine it's not like I'm going alone." Draco reassured Harry. "I can get six of you in there with me." Draco added.
"Ok so you can get Sirius, Alice, Remus, Frank, James and I in there with you?" Lily asked Draco nodded. "Marlene and Peter you two will be in the car James is borrowing from Arthur Weasley. It goes invisible and flys. Your our getaway drivers and look out."

"What about me?" Harry asked.

"This is all happening next week during Hogwarts founders week. So we'll be free to leave the grounds without any questions so you'll be waiting at one of James parents houses it's highly warded in Godric's Hollow. You'll be looking after Daisy, Benji and Alexander." Lily explained. Harry shallowed but nodded.

"What's that?" Sirius asked nodding to the note in Pandoras hands.
"Nothing just a letter." Pandora tried to escape but Sirius grabbed the letter and began reading.
"It's poetry. Someone wrote you a poem." Sirius smirked.
"It was from a guy I met at the dance." Pandora sighed.
"Ohh." Sirius cooed as he handed Pandora the letter.
"How's things going with you know who?" Pandora asked.
"Well me and Voldy are going strong we are currently arguing about his morals and murderous tendencies however the wedding is set for March we await you Répondez s'il vous plaît." Sirius joked.
"You know that's not who I meant." Pandora rolled her eyes but chuckled. "Murderous tendencies." She whispered through laughter.
"parlez-vous français?" (Do you speak French?)
"Oui mais je ne pas couramment." Pandora replied. (yes but i'm not fluent.)

"nous sommes amis pour maintenant." (We're friends for now.) Sirius replied, Pandora took his hand.
"Es-tu joli?" (Are you happy?) She asked.
" oui, je suis joli car nous sommes amis mais j'ai être avec lui. Je suis éperdument amoureux." (Yes, I'm happy because we're friends but I want to be with him. I am lovestruck.) Sirius sighed
"Oui, tu es." (Yes you are.)Pandora smiled.
"Great talk in a language I don't understand that's totally unfair." Remus mumbled. "iré a comer chocolate y perra sobre ti a Marlene" ( I will just eat chocolate and bitch about you to Marlene.) Remus yelled walking over to Marlene.
"What was that German?" Sirius called.
"es un maldito diccionario de español, así que puedo confesar mi amor eterno por ti y si me rechazas, puedo decir que te pierdes traducido." (It's pick up a fucking Spanish dictionary so I can confess my undying love for you and if you reject me I can say you miss translated.) Remus called over to Sirius.
"Can you to stop yelling at each other in Cantonese and Swedish please." James called the group gave him a confused look.
"You realise that was French and Spanish right?" Lily asked James who looked at her in total confusion.
"It's not my fault I only speak English. I mean Remus became fluent in Italian-"
"Spanish." Lily corrected.
"just so he could bitch about Sirius without Sirius knowing and he found it hot when Sirius got confused then annoyed when he wouldn't tell him what he'd said and unlike sirius english wasn't the third language that I learned by the time I was 5."
"Wait how many langues do you know?" Pandora asked.
"I'm fluent in French, Vulgar Latin, English, Mandarin, Romanian, Turkish, Hawaiian and Standard Arabic. I'm ok with Hindi, Russian and Polish." Sirius explained.
"Why so many?" Marlene asked.
"In my family you have to be fluent in at least 5 languages by the time you start Hogwarts. My parents alwayd wanted to be the best so Regulas and I were fluent in French, Vulgar Latin, English, Mandarin, Romanian, Turkish, Hawaiian and Standard Arabic by the age of 9 I started to learn Hindi Russian and Polish but fortunately I started hogwarts before that and I never did a language class again, reggie on the other hand can speak over 25 languages, fluently." Sirius explained.
"So you know 8 languages fluently and your decent with another 3 languages but you don't know Spanish?" Remus asked.
"Ironically that was gonna be the next language I was gonna be forced to learn." Sirius explained.

"mais j'apprendrai l'espagnol pour que je puisse vous dire ce que je ressens et ensuite si vous me rejetez. je peux faire semblant de vouloir dire autre chose." Sirius mumbled. (but i will learn spanish so i can tell you how i feel and then if you reject me. i can pretend i mean something else
"tu pourrais juste lui dire en anglais." Pandora added. (you could just tell him in english)
