The Price of Hospitality

"I'm doing it!" Harry said happily later that evening while in the basement as he began to hover a couple of inches off the ground, Thor was flying around him in a circle, letting out happy trills.

"Well done, Harry!" Angela said enthusiastically, standing on the side with Jet on her shoulders. "If you keep practising then you should be able to start properly flying soon." She added once Harry had dropped back down to the ground.

"That's the plan." Harry grinned, after another ten minutes or so of practise Harry and Angela returned upstairs to find Lord Black enter the building.

"Lord Black." Angela nodded respectfully.

"Where have you been?" Harry asked curiously.

"Working," Lord Black grunted. "firstly I was off getting Bagman arrested."

"Just arrested?" Harry asked knowingly.

"Just arrested." Lord Black repeated with a wink before his face suddenly shifted into a scowl. "Unfortunately the stupid boot licker had performed a magical vow to stop himself from revealing who had paid him."

"Wow, Malfoy actually made a smart decision." Harry said in a voice full of fake surprise. "By the way, before we continue you should know that Dumbledore secret group and the Weasley family are staying here." Harry told him.

"What?!"

"Blame Sirius." Harry shrugged.

"I will," Lord Black growled. "wait there for a minute, let me find the mangy mutt and then I'll get back to you." He said before he walked off.

" If the dog is killed then can I eat him? " Jet asked.

" No, but you can keep his room. " Harry replied.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

" That works. "

...

"What the fuck?!" Was the first thing Sirius blurted out as Arcturus Black walked into Sirius's room and sent a hex at him the second they had locked eyes, Sirius had barely managed to duck under it. "What the hell?" Sirius said as he dodged another.

"So...you flea bitten idiot, are you ready to explain to me why this home - the one that I have very graciously allowed you to live in, rent free I might add! - is now housing several red headed imbeciles and will be open to various more?" Arcturus said, his voice somewhere between questioning and growling. "Rent free as well!"

"Oh, it...seemed like a good idea at the time." Sirius said in a slow voice.

"Right...well you clearly don't deserve to breathe or breed, so stay still so I can fucking kill you!"

"Oh look, he survived." Jet commented when Sirius walked into the kitchen with his hair and clothes looking burnt. He sat down as if nothing was wrong.

"So...good talk?" Harry asked innocently, though the effect was ruined by his smile. That particular smile earning him a glare from Sirius.

"It was quite honestly only the fact that in exchange for opening the house we'd be getting information on Voldemort and help with improving the wards that stopped him from doing worse." Sirius said, wincing slightly as he shifted in his seat. "Crazy old man." He said under his breath as he rubbed his ribs.

"Where were you three?" Ted asked when Harry, Roman and Angela entered the kitchen for dinner. The Weasley's were there along with the Tonks family, all were sat down at the table including Mrs Weasley who was slightly put out at not being able to cook since the elves had already cooked the food.

"Practising." Harry answered as he sat down at the table along with Roman and Angela, Roman winced in pain slightly as he sat down while Angela took great care to slowly sit down. Harry, on the other hand, sat down in an almost casual manner with Thor perched on his right shoulder while Jet was wrapped around Harry's left arm.

"Are you alright?" Ginny asked Roman, having noticed his discomfort.

"Oh, I'm fine." He waved her off. "If I'm not fine soon then a couple of minor healing spells will help."

"Healing spells?" Ginny blinked. "What did you guys do?" She asked.

"Angela and I fought Harry, two on one, he still won." Roman admitted.

"You've been using magic?!" Mrs Weasley blurted out in a surprised voice.

"Oh, I forgot to mention?" Sirius spoke up. "The trace doesn't work in this house, the wards here block it."

"We can use magic?" Ron said with a grin, so for he and Ginny were the only members of the family who weren't allowed to use magic since now even the twins were of age.
