Angry Grandma
James, Sirius, Remus, Frank, Gideon and Fabian, Regulus and Barty were back at Potter Manor. They had finish explaining everything at Barty, who instantly agreed to help them, he was now wraped aroun Regulus eating a bluberry cupcake.
James was laughing with Sirius, when the fireplace activated and they all heared a voice, that brought chills on their spines. "JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER! SIRIUS ORION BLACK-LUPIN! REMUS JOHN LUPIN-BLACK!" Barty looked scared "What is that?". James swallowed, Sirius paled and Remus started looking for a way out.
"That is Minnie....." said James, but Sirius shook his head "That is not Minnie. That is Minerva Mcgonagall, and she is angry". Minerva stepped into the room looking murderous. She zeroed at the three Marauders "I am so disapointed in the three of you! You never came to ask for my Help! What did you think? That I'll sign with Albus over my Own Sons?! Not only you never came to ask, but you never even send a letter! I had to track you down my self. And as if that's not enough you never invited me to meet MY OWN GRANDSON??!!! Now gentlemen, before I start issuing detentions, where is My Grandson??!!"
James stood there shocked to his core. Sirius had a few tears in his eyes at being regognised as Minerva's son and Remus, he actually smiled to his old Head of House, his mother. "We can explain, if you calm down and listen. Also Minnie, we have company and you are scaring them." Said Remus. Minerva took a breath and looked around, untile her eyes landed on Barty and she ghasped, grasping her heart "Merlin's left titt! Is that Barty Crouch Jr?!". Sirius couldn't stop himsefl and pulled out his wand casting a Sonorous "Attention residents of Potter Manor. This is Sirius Black speaking. I have the emence pleasure to inform you that Minerva Mcgonagall just cursed." Minerva was glaring at him, making the others chuckle.
"Why don't you sit down, so we could explain everything and after that, I promise we'll get you to Hadrian, so you could meet your grandson." Said James making her nod. "Alright. Yes this is Barty, yes he is alive and he is inoccent. Bellatrix put him under the imperious so they would attack the Longbottoms. Barty actually wanted to leave the Death Eaters and Bella wasn't happy. You know what happened next. What nobody knew, except Moony... Was that Barty and Reggie were dating." Minerva looked shocked and it finally registere who the young man was. "Regulus. By Merlin, I heard you're alive, but until now I couldn't believe it!".
Regulus smiled at her " Hello Professor. It is good to see you again." She smiled and pulled him in her arms. Unfortunatelly Minerva had lost her husband pretty early, before they even managed to have a child. Those eight boys in this room, were her children and she would raise Hell if anything ever happened to them.
When James finally explained everything, Minerva noded and raised her wand
"I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good"
Sirius grinned at her "Welcome to the Marauders Minnie!". She chuckled at his antics and then looked at James expectantly "Well Son. Would you now take me to meet my grandson? And don't think you are not included Frank Longbottom. You also count as my son and if My memorie serves me right, you have also graced me with a grandson, one I've never met!" Frank swallowed and noded. "Yes. Neville is with Hadrian." She smiled and walked to the fireplace "Excelent. Now are you coming, or would I have to drag you there?".

Molly was making breakfast fro the kids, when her fireplace activated and out steped Minerva. "Molly, Good Morning Dear. I hope I'm not disturbing." Molly smiled at the old teacher. "Good Morning Minerva. No not at all, please have a seat, have you had breakfast yet? I was making the table for the kids, they are going to wake up soon." Minerva nodded and took a seat at the table.
Just as the rest of the Marauders came in, there was a thunder of feet coming from upstairs. Minerva smiled when a horde of children stumbled to the kitchen. "Good Morning" They all yelled at the same time. "Kids. I would like you to meet on very special person." Said James, making them look at him as he pointed at Mcgonagall. "This is Minerva Mcgonagall, the Head of Gryffindore House and Transfiguration teacher and Deputy hedmistress. Kids meet your Lioness Granda Minnie!" Minerva scoulded at him, but stoped when a bunch of kids leaped in her arms. She hugged them all close.
"Now, why don't you introduce yourselves to grandma?" She said with the biggest smile in her face. She was smiling so much she felt like her face was going to split.
"I'm Ron Weasley"
"I'm Giny Weasley"
" I'm Gred Weasley"
" I'm Forge Weasley"
" I'm Neville Longbottom"
" I'm Hadrian Potter"
" I'm Luna Lovegood"
" I'm Daphne Greengrass" Molly looked at the Twins shaking her head. "Minerva don't fall for that." She said pointing at the twins "This is Fred and this is George....They are way too much like their uncles". Minerva shivered "Ah. So that was the feeling I got a few months ago." Fabian frowned "What feeling?" She smiled "Terror, Mischief, Chaos, Trouble" She said making the younger set of twins smirk.
They had breakfast and Minerva got to know all her grandchildren. Including Luna and Daphne. Luna was Regulus's goddaughter and Daphne was family either way. The more the merrier. The rest of Molly's children came downstairs and greeded their Tranfiguration teacher, who insisted on being called "Grandma....Minnie". But made sure that they were not allowed to call her that when in Hogwarts.
Lily and Alice arrived with the Greengrasses and Lovegoods a little later. Minerva was then introduced to her youngest Granddaughter Astoria.

Later that day Regulus wanted to go to the Black Family ancestral Home, to introduce Barty to his family. Minerva, Sirius and Remus tagged along. Sirius because he was the head, Remus because he was the Consort Black and Minerva because she wanted to give a piece of her mind to The Blacks.
Once they made it, Regulus started the introductions. "Hem... Everyone. I would like you to meet my Boyfriend. Barty Crouch Jr. Barty, These are my Uncled and Aunts, My Grandfathers and Grandmothers." They all welcomed Barty happily into the Family. Melania went as far as to start talking about wedding, Lucretia was very supportive of a wedding and Irma was also part of the planing. Pollux, Alphard and Arcturus were in the middle of lightly threatening Barty, to never hurt their Regulus.
Minerva crossed her arms and glared at Arcturus and Pollux. She was angry for Sirius and Regulus. Angry fro what her sons went through. Angry that they never did anything to help them. Angry that they now pretended to be a very happy family. Arcturus noticed Minerva's glare and walked up to her. "Professor Mcgonagall. It is pleasure to meet you. Mind you tell me, what I have done to recieve that vicious glare from you?" She narrowed her eyes. "Oh I have plenty of things to say Mister Black. To you and your cousin!" Pollux steped closer. "Ma'am?". Minerva took a deep breath and exploded over the fromer Black heads.
"How dear you treat My Sons that way??! I am disgusted! You are supposed to be the head of the Family but you let your Grandsons suffer under those retched creatures you called children. I am no person who disrespects the dead Mrses Black. But your children are the wost people I had the unplesand time of meeting. The way they treated Sirius and Regulus?! And you did nothing to help them. Nothing to stop it. I had half a mind not to come here and Give your Daughter and Son a piece of my mind. They are lucky to be dead, because if they were alive I'd had both of them over my knee faster than the snitch! And you now have the audacity to pretend that all is good, that nothing happened. That my sons never suffered!!"
The Blacks were stuned. Melana walked up to Minerva and took her nads in hers. "Thank you. Thank you for standing up for my boys. Thank you for helping them, for protecting them. You are right, we did nothing and we let them suffer. The only excuse we have, is that we never knew. My son and daughter in law kept them away from us. I know, it's not a good excuse and you are right. So thank you. You are a better mother to them than Walburga ever was. I'm thankful that they have you in their lives and honored you call them your sons. You are Merlin send for my Grandsons. I fully regret not being there for them, not helping them. And I take full responsibillity for what happened." Minerva blinked at the witch.
Arcturus steped up " Thank you, for caring for them, when we failed." Pollux nodded "I agree with everything you said Professor. My daughter was....She wasn't a mother that's for sure. And we did nothing. You steped up to that role for both of them, so I thank you. Thank you for being a family to them were we weren't". Arcturus took her hand "I Arcturus Black Officially welcome you Minerva Mcgonagall into the family as a honorary Mother to my Grandsons."
"As the Head of the Family. So I Say It, So Mote It Be" Said Sirius from the side, making Minerva jumb a little. She smiled up at her son. Her official son, sons. She opened her arms and Sirius and Regulus both hugged her "Welcome to the family Mom." Chocked Sirius and Minerva finally cried holding two of her sons in her arms. Remus and Barty approached them and Minerva pulled them in their hug. "Come on Minerva. Let me introduce you to the rest of the Family." Said Arcturus making Minerva smile again.
They ended up having dinner, with Minerva narrating some stories from Sirius and Regulus's Hogwarts years. And yes including tons of pranks and detentions. Sirius and Remus were quit embarassed and Regulus with Barty were laughing. Barty was welcomed to the family, easily just like Remus had.

Hadrian was on his mother's lap talking with Grandpa Sal. "So My little snake, you now have a lioness Grandmother huh?" Hadrian nodded happily "So now the lions have a claim over you! I guess I have to wrok harder, to make sure, you made it into My House! But then again a Snake in Lion's skin is also acceptable." Lily glared at the portrait, while Hadrian giggled. "Grandpa! I've told you and James a thousand times. Harry will go whenever the Hat things he fit! He could even end up in Hufflepuff Or Ravenclaw! And we would still be extremelly proud! All and any house would be lucky to have him!"
Salazar raised his hands "Merlin child! Calm down, You sound jus like Helga! Little snake, listen very clearly. As your Mother says, no matter what house you end up. Never and I mean Never, for Merlin's shake never anger a Badger. They are scary!! And that's coming from me!" Hadrian giggled "Alright Grandpa".
"Now, that this is out of the way. Why don't you tell me more about your new Grandmother? She sound like someone that would cause Godric to make cartwheels, if he learned that she is in his house." Hadrian laughed at his Grandpa. He now had a Grandpa and a Grandma, friends, uncles aunts. mummy and daddy. Life was good!
