Nova sat in her room at Grimmauld Place treating her hand. On the last day of term, Umbridge had Nova serve detention for no reason. Instead of spending a normal two hours with the toad, she was forced to spend seven. 

On top of that, she was forced to stay at Hogwart after Arthur's attack. This obviously angered Nova, who was going to Grimmauld Place for Christmas to begin with. According to her dads, they didn't want to wake her and let her sleep seeing as she "needed" it. 

No. It wasn't what he "needed". What she needed was to be at Grimmauld Place planning her rebellion, and finding a way for Blaise and Theo to escape (and Draco when he stops being a prat). She needed to be with the Order planning to stop Voldy Moldy. She needed to be there to comfort her friends. 

But here she was healing her hand without any help because she is too stubborn and independent to tell anyone. There's also the fact she knows her dads will go ballistic if they knew. 

Harry, Ron, and Hermione knew. However, Nova didn't tell them what her scars actually said. 

"What up child?" Sirius asked strolling into her room. 

Nova stopped dead in her tracks, dropping the bottle of hydrogen peroxide she was using to help heal her hand. The hand began to bleed again . . .a lot. Her honey hazel eyes were wide as they met her fathers. 

"Da . . ." Nova breathed out, knowing he was going to make a big deal out of it. 

"REMUS!" Sirius shouted, causing everyone in the house to wonder what happened. 

It occurred to Nova that it could look as though she had been partaking in self-harm. 

"Da, it's not what it looks like!" Nova said quickly. 

"REUMS!" 

"STOP YOUR BLOODY YELLING! I'M RIGHT HERE!" Remus yelled as he moved to stand next to Sirius. "What the bloody hell happened?"

"Hickey gone wrong?" Nova questioned. 

"Oh sweet Merlin," Lily groaned.

The kids, who were hiding down the hallway listening in, all turned to look at Harry. Harry blushed deeply.

"You have a hickey on the back of your hand?" Remus raised an eyebrow his amber eyes meeting his daughter's. Her eyes, unlike his, have flecks of silver. 

"Who gave it to you?" Sirius demanded, ready to murder the boy. 

"Sirius! It's not a hickey!" Remus groaned at his illegal husband's stupidity.

"It is a hickey!" Nova insisted. "It's a hickey I got from . . .Shadow."

"Your cat gave you a hickey?" 

"Yes. With her claws." Nova assured. Her caramel hair was loosely tied into a bun. 

"You mean she scratched you?" Remus questioned.

"Yes, sir," Nova nodded.

"Then why does it spell words?" Sirius observed his ebony black curly hair was combed to perfection. "Hang on! What does it say?"

"It says . . ." Nova trailed off fishing for a lie. "That I'm a meany for cutting her cuddle time in half."

"Why'd you cut her cuddle time in half-?" Sirius began to ask.

Again, all the kids turned to look at Harry. They weren't supposed to know about the two being together but they found out last night after . . .

All the children (Ginny, Fred, George, Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Nova) sat at the table the night before. Harry and Nova kept sneaking glances at each other.

"WILL YOU TWO JUST ADMIT YOUR FEELINGS ALREADY?" Ron had yelled. "THE SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN YOU TWO IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO EAT MY CHICKEN!"

Ron then proceeded to take a bite out of his chicken. This, obviously, lead to the children finding out about the two. 

"That's not what it says," Remus cut across.

"I'm going to ask this one more time. What is on your hand?" Sirius asked in a hard voice. This was the first time anyone (other than Nova and Remus) have heard his voice become dark.

Nova looked down and answered.

"Umbitch has me using a Blood Quill during detentions-"

"What?" Sirius demanded. 

"Umbitch has me writing with a Blood Quill during my detentions."

"W-what does she have you writing?" Remus asked hesitantly. He feared it had something to do with him. 

"Nothing too bad . . ." Nova insisted. 

She didn't want her dads to see the scars. She knew if they did, both would be in Azkaban. 

"Then why didn't you tell us?" Remus asked as he moved to sit on Nova's bed, Sirius following. 

Nova cast her eyes down. 

"What does she make you write?" Sirius asked again. 

Nova sat in between her dads and slowly brought her hand out for them to see. Thin red blood was smeared across the words, but it was enough for them to see. 

I am an abomination. I am a monster.

"Well . . ." Regulus began. "At least the toad won't be around anymore."

"Pup," Sirius whispered his voice both soft and angry. "You d-don't believe th-this do you?"

"Of course not!" Nova assured. 

Remus had said nothing. He remained silent, shaking with rage. Taking away his right was one thing, but harming his daughter, his cub, was another thing. 

It was safe to say Remus was not the only parent of Nova's that was shaking with fury 

"Pa . . ." Nova called softly as she turned to look at him. 

"That fucking bitch is going to die!" Remus seethed. 

"How do we want to do this?" Sirius asked. 

"Poison?"

"Brute force?"

"Torture?"

"Launching the bitch off a cliff?"

In heaven, James was reminded of all the times they planned pranks as he watched them with a sad expression. 

"Or . . ." Nova began. "We don't do any of that . . ."

Both men looked at their daughter as if she had grown another head. 

"Are you alright, pup?" Sirius asked putting the back of his hand to her forehead. "Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick, Da!" Nova swatted his hand away with a scowl. "You can't murder Umbitch because you'll get the dementor's kiss and Pa will go to Azkaban. Not to mention if you act irrationally you'll be giving her what she wants."

"I say kill the bitch!" Marlene yelled. 

"I hate when you're right." Sirius grumbled. 

Nova grinned cheekily. 

***

"Why didn't you tell me about the Blood Quill?" Hary asked as he looked down at Nova whose head laid on his chest. 

"I did tell you," Nova said as she absentmindedly drew patterns on his chest with her fingers as she inhaled his sandalwood cologne that lingered upon his jumper. 

Shadow laid at the foot of the bed. Her yellow-green eyes were glaring daggers at Harry. 

How dare he steal her human!?

How dare he be the reason she gets fewer cuddles?!

"You told me you had to write the same thing I had to," Harry stated. With his hand resting on Nova's hip, his thumb rubbed gently across the single patch of skin that wasn't concealed by the jumper Nova stole from him. 

Butterflies thought it would be a good idea to tap dance in Nova's stomach. 

"I guess I thought it seemed small and unimportant," Nova shrugged. 

Harry looked down at her with a serious expression on his face. His green eyes were lit with a fiery passion. 

"It was important." he said. 

"At the time, I didn't think it was." Nova murmured in an embarrassed tone. 

"Well . . ." Harry began softly. "It matters to me."

Nova's finger stopped moving along his chest as she tilted her head to look up at him. The corner of her mouth quirked up slightly into a small toothless grin. She stretched slightly to kiss Harry just below the jaw. 

A large dopey grin spread across his face. 

"Ya know-" Harry began teasingly but stopped once Nova shot up. 

"Shit!" Nova hissed. 

"What?" Harry asked urgently sitting up too. 

"Hide! My dads are coming!" Nova hissed urgently as she pulled Harry to his feet. 

"How do you know?" Harry whisper shouted. 

"I'm part lioness, Harold!" Nova hissed. "Option A or B?"

"What-" 

Harry was shoved under Nova's bed. Several candles and shoes littered the land under the bed. A box labeled 'Regulus' sat in the farthest corner. Chew toys for a dog and cat toys also accompanied Harry. 

Shadow, rather pleased Harry moved, took his spot. 

"Wassup, Pup?" Sirius asked as he strolled into Nova's room and plopping himself on her bed. Harry's heart began to beat faster. 

"Hedgehogs," Noa replied instantly. 

Harry hid his chuckled as he clutched a hand to his mouth. 

"Come on, Sirius," Regulus urged. "Look down under the bed!"

"Are you trying to get Harry caught?" Dorcus asked. 

"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I?" Regulus raised a black eyebrow. 

"I don't thin hedgehog live in the clouds," Remus scoffed, joining the dup on the bed. 

Harry's palms began to sweat from the anxiety of being caught. 

But he is James Potter's son and realized he could listen in and discover some pretty interesting and embarrassing stories about his girlfriend. 

"As much I love you guys being here . . ." Nova began with her eyebrow raised. "What exactly are you doing here?"

"Can't we spend time with our daughter?" Remus teased. 

"We literally spent six hours talking three hours ago!" Nova justified. 

"Ya hear that, Remmy?" Sirius began to cry dramatically. "She doesn't love us any more!"

"Oh, the pain!" Remus exclaimed dramatically clutching his heart. 

"And you say I'm dramatic!" Nova scoffed. 

Love, you are, Harry thought to himself. 

Sirius reached out to pet Shadow, who nestled herself in Nova's lap, but she hissed. 

"Stupid cat," Sirius growled. "I'll cook you."

"Da, if you cook my cat, next time I cut your hair," Nova began to threaten. "I'll make sure to make it look worse than Snape's, and you might not have ears."

Harry heard Sirius yelp. 

"There's our violent lil lion," Remus teased. 

"We wanted to know when you start bleeding out of your vagina this month," Sirius stated bluntly as he flopped back onto her pillows. 

Harry held in his snigger while Nova hides behind her hair as she flushed a dark red. 

Little did Harry know, tomorrow he would be the one blushing. 

"Why would I tell you if I was?" Nova asked raising an eyebrow. 

"So we can know if your pregnant or not," Sirius said at the same time as Remus said, "So we can get everything you need."

"Da!" Nova objected. 

"What? I need to know if I actually need to go to Azkaban for murder," Sirius joked. 

Harry paled drastically. 

"What makes you think people actually want to date me?" Nova inquired with her eyebrow raised. 

Harry wondered if she was oblivious. If you asked him why he loved Nova, he'd give you a book. 

"You're your father's daughter," Sirius stated as if it were obvious. 

"As the other half of her gene pool, I take high offense to that," Remus said rolling his eyes. 

"I meant you, dummy," Sirius winked. 

"Ew. No. Nope. Not happening. Da, please stop hitting on Pa. Please keep the flirting to the minimum." Nova groaned. "I already walked in on you having sex twice, and that isn't something I want to relive."

Harry, once again, struggled to hide his laugh. All it took was the reminder that Nova had two scary dads to stay silent. 

"But you learned to knock after that," Remus added with a small grin. "I feel bad for whoever marries you, Moonfoot.:

"Who says she is getting married?" Both Black brothers asked in unison. One was dead and one alive.

"Why, Pa?" Nova asked. 

"They'd have to deal with Sirius," Remus laughed. 

"Oi!" Sirius objected as both his husband and daughter laughed. 

Harry found himself realizing he wouldn't mind having Sirius constantly nagging him. Then he realized he contemplated marrying Nova which he has done before. Then it occurred to him he and Nova haven't even been dating a week and he was already in love with her. 

But he'd be stupid to admit he wasn't in love with her before. It was as if dating her has intensified his feelings. 

Besides, it wasn't like they were moving too fast. The most they have ever done was cuddle and share a few kisses. 

It was Nova's pace, but Harry didn't mind. He'd go as fast or as slow as she wanted. 

"Hey, Remmy," Sirius said, throwing a pillow at his werewolf husband. "Smell this."

"Why would I-" Remus began but stopped. "Why does this pillow smell like a boy?"

Harry paled. 

Nova's eyes were as wide a saucers. That was the pillow Harry was using. 

"Why would my pillow smell like a boy?" Nova countered calmly. "Besides, how would you know if my pillows normally smell like that or not?"

"Because Sirius is in here every other day crying his eyes out for about an hour," Remus stated bluntly.

Sirius gave Remus a look of pure betrayal. 

"Is that why my sheets smelled like wet dog?" Nova questioned. 

Sirius made an offended gasp. 

***

The following day, Nova strolled into lunch with Harry dressed in her ACDC hoodie and jeans. She had lessons with Moody in half an hour and was determined to annoy Ron before she left. 

Ron, however, had other plans. 

"'Ello, love birds," Ron greeted with a smirk. "How was the studying?"

"What exam was it for again?" Ginny asked with a smirk growing upon her face. 

Nova glared at both of them. 

"Human anatomy." The twins answered in unison. 

It took Remus and Sirius a moment to comprehend what was being said. 

"Back. The. Fuck. Up." Remus stated, abandoning his Cocoa Puffs. 

Nova continued to glare at the Weasley children as Harry sunk into his chair with a red face. 

Hermione walked through the threshold of the door and stopped before slowly moving to leave, but Tonks was in the doorway. 

"Wotcher!" She called strolling through the door and stealing Remus's Cocoa Puffs. Not that the werewolf noticed his missing cereal anyway. He was too busy staring at Harry. 

Being only four months pregnant, Tonk didn't look too pregnant. Her stomach was only a little swollen. 

"Well . . ." Nova began turning to her dads. Slowly, both men looked away from Harry and to their daughter. "This isn't how I wanted to tell you but . . . Pa, Da, meet Harry, my boyfriend."

Before anyone could respond or even think, Mad-Eye appeared. 

Nova sprang to her feet. 

Harry gave Nova a pleading look. 

"Perfect timing!" Nova called. "Bye, Dads! Love ya! Don't murder my boyfriend!" 

Nova waved as she walked out the door. 

***

When Nova returned from her lessons with Mad-Eye, she found an extremely pale Harry sitting on her bed. 

"'Ello, Darlin!" Nova greeted as she kissed his cheek. "How was your day?"

"Traumatizing."

"I'm sure it wasn't that bad . . ." Nova said thoughtfully. 

"No. It was bad." Harry said turning to her. "I got a sec education class from your dads, and I was threatened about seventy thousand times." 

Nova buried her head in his shoulder to prevent herself from laughing. 

"I got 'the talk' from my girlfriend's dads. Her bloody terrifying dads."

"Aw!" Nova teased. "Is wittle baby Potter scared of his giwlfwiend's dads?"

Harry nodded with large innocent eyes. 

"Aw! You poor thing!" Nova teased, kissing his cheek again. 

This time, a grin formed on his face. 

"I'm watching you, Potter!" Sirius's voice sounded from the hallway.
