Author's Note:

This is basically a bunch of one-shots between the Lupin-Black family

Nova adored Lupin Cottage. The small two-story building made purely of brick was home, even if Nova hadn't been there long. 

With the help of some magic, Nova's room was the exact replica of her one in Grimmauld place; light grey walls, forest mural, fluffy area rug, pictures hung, Gryffindor pride, sitting hammock chair, overflowing books shelves, fuzzy blankets, millions of billows, wolf painting, and her stuffed animals. 

Nova didn't bother to bring Shadow her bed, she slept in Nova's bed anyway. Binky chose to stay at Grimmauld Place but told Nova she would visit once a week if not more. 

A week into the Summer Holidays, Sirius arrived. Upon his arrival, Nova shoved him into the bathroom and demanded he showered. 

He spent three hours showering. 

When he was done, Nova cut his hair. Sirius wasn't too pleased about losing his "glorious hair."

"Bruh, you have split ends, and it's longer than mine!" Nova told him. "Besides, I don't think Remus will like it unless I cut it."

That got him to comply. 

When Remus returned, he quite literally dropped his briefcase at the sight of Sirius. 

Nova, winking at her fathers, left. 

She wasn't sure what happened when she left, but when she went down for dinner, both men were grinning and laughing. 

She assumed that was a good sign. 

"I'm kidnapping Harry in a month and a half," Nova stated. 

"How?" Sirius asked, starring at Nova as she ate the chicken. 

"Why would you?" Remus questioned. 

"Well, I'm Nova Lupin-Black and I make everything possible," Nova stated cheekily. "Besides, I wanna go talk to the muggles 'bout something. Then, I'm kidnapping Harold."

Remus narrowed his eyes. Nova grinned at him before turning to Sirius. 

"I might just happen to be walking my dog in the neighborhood and decided to stop by . . ."

Sirius and Nova smirked at each other. 

Remus groaned internally.

There are two of them now!

*** 

"Pst," Nova hissed to Remus. "Papa!"

"What?" Remus groaned as Nova shook him awake. 

Sirius snored next to him. 

"I need your help with something," Nova declared. "Get dressed." 

Nova began to leave the room when she paused and grabbed one of Remus's sweaters. 

"I'm stealing this."

When Remus emerged, he found his daughter wrapped in his burgundy sweater that went slightly past her knees and grey fuzzy socks. She sat on the floor with her caramel hair tied into a knot, which is held together by her wand and her glasses on. She looked like a nerd as she attempted to read a paper. 

Remus found it adorable. 

Normally, she wore leather jackets but now, she wore something completely different. 

"What did you need help with?" Remus questioned. 

"I need you to translate this," Nova said, handing him the paper as she examined the random pieces of wood. 

"This is in Chinese," Remus stated. 

"I know," Nova answered with her brows furrowed. 

"Why the hell do you have a paper written in Chinese?"

"They're instructions."

"Let me rephrase this," Remus began. "Why the bloody hell do you have instructions written in Chinese?"

"For the dog house."

"We don't have a dog house."

"Now we do."

"We don't have a dog."

"Yes, we do."

"Really? Where?"

"In your room, Pops," Nova answered looking up at Remus. "He snores too."

"Sirius?"

"No . . ." Nova began sarcastically. "Donkey."

"Why the bloody hell did you buy a dog house?" Remus questioned, raising an eyebrow. He wasn't angry, just curious.

"For the dog."

"Are you serious?" Remus questioned. As Nova opened her mouth, Remus cut her off. "Don't. You. Dare."

"No, I'm Nova." Nova smiled. "But yes, I'm serious about this dog house."

"Why did you get Sirius a dog house?"

"So he can sleep in it," Nova replied in an obvious tone. "Besides, it'd be funny. We missed his birthday and Christmas this year. So . . .I got him a dog house. There's a dog bed 'round here somewhere along with some chew toys."

Nova looked up at Remus with puppy dog eyes. 

"Are you going to help?" 

"I would've helped without the usage of the puppy eyes," Remus stated sitting beside Nova. 

For the next two hours, Remus and Nova tried (and failed) to read the directions. 

"Why couldn't it come with pictures?" Nova huffed as she flopped onto the couch. 

Remus glared at the paper in his hand. 

"What the fuck is this shit?" He pondered as he frequently asked in the past three hours. 

(A/N this is not meant to come off as offensive if it does).

"Chinese," Nova answered just as frequently. 

As Nova got up to help her father once again, she noticed another piece of paper behind Remus. 

"Pa?" She call.

Remus hummed in response.

"What's that behind you?" Nova questioned. 

Remus looked behind him. His eyes scanned what Nova was talking about until he spotted the paper. Slowly, he picked it up, and read the instructions. 

1. Grab screwdriver

"Is that-?"

"Yup," Remus answered Nova's question. 

Within the next hour, Nova and Remus managed to get Sirius's dog house together. They put it in the corner of the living room. They placed the bed inside the house with the toys Nova got him. 

"Finishing touches . . ." Nova said as she placed the name tag above the door. 

Snuffles

A stag, wolf, and dog were inchanted to run along with the name tag when someone passed it. 

"Now, to wake up Da," Nova said grinning mischievously. 

She grabbed a squeaky toy duck and carried it up the stairs to her fathers' room.

Slowly, she crept into the room, tiptoeing as she went. 

A light bulb appeared over Nova's head. Quickly, she scurried into the bathroom to grab the shaving creme and to her room to have a quill. 

It was an old muggle prank in the book Hermione gave Nova in the first year. 

Remus watched from the door as Nova applied a large sum of shaving creme to Sirius's hand. A wicked grin formed on her face as tickled her Da by the feather part of the quill. 

Sirius, in his sleep, moved his hand to ease the itch. Instead, coated his face in shaving creme. 

A normal person would've woken up. 

But Sirius Black is not normal. 

It wasn't until Nova pushed down on the squeaky toy did he wake up. 

Sirius, wide-eyed and covered in shaving creme, stared at Nova before she sprinted down the stairs, squeaking the toy as she went. 

Sirius chased after her. Nova laughed as she went, but Sirius barked and had his tongue hanging out of the corner of his mouth. 

Remus has never been more thankful for charming a muggle camera to make a wizarding photo. 

***

Nova Lupin-Black ran down from her room dressed in a black razorback tank top and black leggings.  She was in the process of tying her hair into a ponytail when she called for Remus and Sirius.

"Da! Pa!" She yelled. Not waiting for a response, she continued to yell. "Have you seen my quaffle? I need to practice!"

She ran into the kitchen, stuffing toast in her mouth. 

"Good morning," A voice spoke. 

"'Morning," Nova replied. 

She looked up and saw a man she has never seen before. He looked like Remus, but he had blue eyes. 

"You're not one of my dads," Nova stated with her toast stopping halfway to her mouth. 

"No, I am not," He spoke. Nova noticed he was older than her dads, nearly twice their age. 

"That's nice," Nova spoke before whipping out her wand and pointing it at the man. "Who are you? Where are my dads?"

"Remus! Your child is trying to kill me!" The man yelled, humor evident on his face. 

"That's not an answer," Nova stated. With a flick of her hand, the man grew a monkey tail. 

At that moment, Snuffles cantered into the room. He took one assessment of the room before turning into Sirius and grinning ear to ear. 

"'Ello, Lyall," He greeted pouring himself some juice. "Nice tail."

"'Ello, Sirius," He greeted back before motioning towards Nova. "She gave it to me."

"Nova, put your wand down," Sirius ordered. 

"Who the bloody hell are you?" Nova questioned. 

"I'm Lyall Lupin. Remus's father." Lyall introduced. 

"Well, I'm Nova Lily Lupin-Black and I'm his and Sirius's daughter," Nova introduced before turning back to Sirius. "Da, have you seen my quaffle?"

"The last time I saw it, it was in your room," Sirius stated. 

Nova groaned. 

"PA!" Nova yelled at the top of her lungs. There was no response. "I'm going to eat your chocolate!"

Thundering steps came from upstairs. It sounds as if an elephant was trying to run. Suddenly, Remus stood in front of her. 

"Don't. Eat. My. Chocolate." Remus stated in a low voice. 

"Jeez! I wasn't going to, I have my own. I was just going to tell you your padre is here and to ask where my quaffle is." Nova stated. 

"It's in your room somewhere," Remus stated before turning to his dad. "Hi, Dad."

"But, Pa!" Nova whined. "My room is a bottomless pit! It eats everything!" 

"Then you need to clean it."

"It's only dirty because Shadow always knocks stuff down and makes messes!"

"Your cat. Your responsibility." Remus shrugged. 

Nova huffed and ran to her room to clean and find her quaffle. 

"It's not in her room is it?" Lyall asked.

"Nope." Both men responded. 

***

Nova couldn't fall asleep. Unlike the majority of the previous year, it wasn't from nightmares. She spent most of the night reading and lost in thought. 

Last night was the full moon. Which meant, Remus and Sirius locked Nova in her room so she wouldn't follow them. She understood them not wanting her to get hurt, but she didn't understand why they wouldn't let her brew the Wolfsbane Potion. Despite hating Snape, Nova is amazing at potions, and perfectly capable of brewing the potion. 

She wondered if it were the lack of funds, knowing Remus wouldn't allow her to buy anything for the house, especially if it were for him.

Nova was extremely rich. She hated bragging about it. She didn't flaunt it in others' faces. She kept it to herself. Should galleons randomly appear in the Weasleys' vault, Nova would have no idea what that was about. 

All she had to say, goblins loved her. 

Nova, dressed in one of Remus's sweaters, tip-toed down the stairs being cautious of the last step it creaked. 

She wanted chocolate. 

When she turned the kitchen lights on, she nearly screamed. 

Sirius, startled by the sudden appearance of his daughter and the lights, fell off the counter he was sitting on. 

"What the bloody hell are you doing awake?" Sirius asked, getting off the floor. 

"Is there a reason you're sitting on the counter and your face is covered in white powder? Why are you in your boxers?" Nova questioned. "Are you doing cocaine?"

"Yes," Sirius answered immediately. 

Nova narrowed her eyes, looking scarily like Remus as she crossed her arms. 

"Did you eat all the powder donuts Papa told you to save for breakfast?" 

"Maybe .  . ." Sirius said suspiciously. Nova raised an eyebrow. "Please don't tell Moony!"

"What's in it for me?" Nova questioned. 

"Chocolate . . ." Sirius guessed. 

"Throw in two favors and make it two things of chocolate and you have a deal," Nova stated. "And give me a donut."

Remus woke the next morning to find his daughter and illegal husband asleep on the kitchen counter, covered in white donut powder.

***

Sirius and Remus didn't know what to do. Their daughter didn't leave her room, and she didn't let anyone in. When she did leave she was wearing sweats, a messy bun, glasses, and just grumbled at everything. 

At first, Remus thought she went through some breakup, but he couldn't recall her saying she had a significant other. 

"Lion?" Remus called from the other side of the door. "Do you want soup? Are you sick?"

"Sick of being alive!" Nova called back. "Can I have some chocolate?"

"Alright," Remus said, walking away. Sirius gave him a confused look, but Remus just shrugged, just as confused. 

In heaven, Lily, Marlene, and Dorcus were all showing deep sympathy for the girl. 

"Stupid men," Marlene muttered angrily. 

"Poor girl," Lily and Dorcus sympathized in unison. 

"I'm confused," James stated.

"You're always confused." Regulus scoffed. "What's happening?"

"Looks like I'm not the only one," James teased. 

"You'll see," Lily answered. 

Another ten minutes went by. In her room, Nova was cuddling with Shadow as she slept peacefully. 

Until Sirius knocked on the door.

"Lion," Sirius called hesitantly. "Nova . . ."

"Go away!" Nova said sharply. 

"Lion, are you alright?" Sirius asked. 

"I'm bleeding out of my fucking uterus! Leave me alone!" Nova snapped. "Bring some chocolate!"

Sirius walked back to Remus. 

"What did she say?" Remus asked. 

"She said something about bleeding out of her utero or something like that," Sirius stated. 

"What the fuck does that mean?" Remus asked. 

"Dunno," Sirius answered. "She also said she needs chocolate."

"But we don't have chocolate."

"Yes, we do." Sirius objected. 

"Really? Where?" 

"Your secret stash." 

"No." Remus shot down. "Nope. Not happening."

"Moony! Our daughter won't talk to us! This is for the greater good!" Sirius urged. 

"Alright! Fine!" Remus gave in. "She's lucky I love her."

The two men climbed the stairs. Each shared a glance before Sirius warily pushed the door open. 

There was a mountain of pillows and blankets on Nova's bed, but no Nova. Shadow wasn't in the room either. 

"Lion?" Remus called. 

A mumbling noise came from the pile of blankets. 

"We have chocolate . . ." Sirius stated hesitantly. 

The pile of blankets was suddenly on the floor as Nova sat up in her bed. 

Sirius handed Nova the piece of chocolate and she instantly devoured it. 

"Is there any more?" Nova questioned. 

"No," Remus said sadly. Nova, if possible, looked more upset than Remus about the chocolate. 

"Are you feeling alright?" Remus asked. 

"I'm bloody brilliant!" Nova said sarcastically. "My fucking uterus feels like it's been ripped from my stomach, stopped on my a hippogriff, brunt by a dragon, and spit on with acid. Then it was placed back inside me with poison, the Grim fucking Reaper, and a damn dementor! And there's no chocolate!"

The two men left the room, still confused. 

Twenty minutes later, Minerva McGonagall received and Patronus from a very stressed and very panicked Sirius Black.

She is beyond happy he isn't a mass murderer, but she hated the fact he was on the run. 

The moment the partronus began to speak, Minerva heard nothing but chaos. 

Music played loudly in a distant. Someone was crying. Someone was yelling. Something fell with a thump. 

"Minnie! Please send help! Nova is was yelling at us to leave her alone and she threw a lamp! I don't even know where it came from! Remus is crying because there's no chocolate! Nova won't let us approach her without some! She said something about bleeding from her uteroo! I think Pettigrew cursed her!" Sirius's frantic voice came from the dog. 

"This is bloody brilliant!" Came a crying Remus's sarcastic voice. "No chocolate! A screaming and violent Lion! Sirius! Sirius, get out here you bloody coward!"

"CAN YOU SHUT UP! I CAN'T HEAR MY FUCKING MUSIC!" Nova's voice yelled. "I'M IN PAIN! I'M ANGRY! ANGRY NOVA MEANS DEATH! DEATH MEANS I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WITH A FUCKING SPATULA!" 

"I'm gonna die . . ." Sirius murmured before the Patronus faded. 

The old woman sighed and put her head in her hands. 

Her boys were bloody stupid. 

She assumed Lily Potter, Marlene McKinnon, and Dorcus Meadows were supposed to help with. 

But sadly, they couldn't. 

When Minerva McGonagall arrived at the Lupin Cottage, she found Sirius hiding under the table with a metal mixing bowl over his head and looked a deathly pale color. Remus ran around the kitchen hiding all the kitchen utensils; knives, pots, pans, whisks, can openers, spatulas, serving spoon,s you name it. He too looked pale. 

"Remus. Sirius." Minerva said in a stern voice, similar to what she would use back in their school days. 

Both men jumped and turned. Sirius smacked his head off the table, and Remus dropped everything. 

"Thank Merlin! Minnie, save us!" Sirius pleaded. 

"You," Minnie said turning to Remus. "Put all the utensils down. You're going to get a box of tampons and chocolate from the muggle store. Get lots of chocolate."

"What are those?" He asked. 

"For some of my brightest students, you two are extremely stupid," Minerva stated. "Remus, ask a lady at the store."

Of course, Minerva knew she could've just told him, but she thought it would be highly amusing. 

"Sirius, get out from under the table," Minerva ordered. 

The man scrambled out from his hiding place. 

"Go to your house and think of what could be happening to your daughter right now," Minerva ordered as she pointed to the dog house Remus and Nova built. 

Sirius transformed into Snuffles and moped to his house. 

Minerva sighed and walked up the stairs. She followed the hallway until she found the source of the music. She stopped at the door. 

Nova Lily Lupin-Black

"Go away, dads," A voice grumbled as the music was turned down. 

"Miss Black, I will inform you I am not a male nor am I your fathers." 

"Min-Min!" Nova yelled, throwing the door open. "Please tell me you have chocolate!"

"I do not, but I sent Remus to the store," Minerva said. "May I come in?"

Nova opened the door wider. Minerva sat on the edge of Nova's bed with her. 

"I do believe you have gone through this before." Minerva suggested. 

"Yeah. Normally, I have bearable pain that feels like a small twinge. Occasionally, I have really bad ones. The pain becomes a lot and my magic goes out of control." Nova declared. "Today was one of those days. I didn't want my dads to get hurt, so I shouted and threw things in hopes of them going away. I told them to leave me alone, but they didn't seem to like that."

"Well . . .there isn't much we can do about that. However, would it help to know neither of your fathers had a clue what was going on?" Minerva asked raining an eyebrow. "Sirius even thought you were cursed. Remus was crying and hiding all the kitchen utensils. Sirius was hiding under the table with a bowl over his head."

"Where is Sirius now?" Nova asked. 

"He's in his-" She began but was cut off by him barging into the room. 

"My baby is having her menstrual cycle!" Sirius cried. "She's so grown up!"

Nova blushed a deep red. 

"He was in his dog house." Minerva corrected. 

Meanwhile, at the supermarket, Remus was struggling. 

He figured out what was wrong with his daughter the moment he walked into a store. He spotted a female employee and approached her. 

"Excuse me," He said. 

She turned, her black hair whipping in the air. 

"How may I help you?" She asked. 

"I was wondering if you could help me out . . ." Remus trailed off.

"What do you need help with, sir?" She asked, winking at him. 

"My daughter is in need of tampons," He said, making sure she knew he was taken. "I was hoping you could show me where it is."

"Right this way," She said. 

Despite knowing he had a daughter, the girl did not seem to leave him alone. He successfully found the correct item. 

"Thank you," He said. 

"What's your number?" she asked him. 

"1-800-MARRIED," Remus said, flashing the ring on his hand before turning to leave. 

"But she doesn't have to know," the girl winked. 

"He. I don't think he would appreciate it, nor would my daughter." Remus said before leaving. 

The girl stood shocked.
