Minerva smiled, but couldn't hide a bit of a yawn. "Sorry, I must still be a bit tired from all the settling in." She laughed, "Yeah I don't think Justin would care to go back to 13 and be poisoned again by me. I think I might have some of that candy laying around somewhere if you would like some or if not I know there are a few rocks outside."

Justin laughed as they all were reminiscing.... " I'd go back in a heartbeat.... that was the year my best friend here introduced me to the love of my life.... So many thoughts started third year.... for all of us... That year was the beginning of the rest of our lives, Guys...." Justin gushed... " I'd love to experience everything from that year the good and the bad.....that year and every year after that." he smiled as he remembered all that they had all been through together. " I'd even eat that poisoned fudge again because it eventually led me to that night by the lake...." he said as he looked at his wife and smirked.... " ... When Ari and I slept under the stars together... Now that was a first date!..."

Min rolled her eyes at Justin, but laughed. "I still wouldn't go back. There is to much going on right now. The past is the past and at 13 I lost my parents, I don't want to repeat that year ever again no matter what good things came." Minerva saw Robbly come in with the drinks and sandwiches, "Thank you so much Robbly. Guys please help yourself to sandwiches, I had a peanut butter and jelly made for Maxie with some chocolate milk, I hope that was okay. "

" I can understand that, Min... Oooh, thanks." Justin said as he eyeballed the sandwhiches before grabbing one. " PB&J... How'd ya know his favourite sandwich?" he joked as he took a quater and offered it to his son.
" hey, Little man... Look what Aunt Minnie has for ya..... It's your favourite... " he said as he coaxed the boy over to him.

Minerva smiled, "Justin what kid doesn't like Peanut butter and Jelly?" she smiled and took a drink of her Popbefore looking at her friends. She smiled as she watched Maxie with Justin. She couldn't believe her friend was a dad and that he was so good at it. Looking at Maxwell she wondered how their life will change once they have children.

Justin scooped up Little Max and set him on his knee as he and the boy ate there sandwiches. " Cheers, Mate... " he smiled as he bumped his sandwich into his son's making the toddler giggle and laugh.

Maxwell sighed. "I don't want to go back either...i wouldn't want to lose my mom again." He said in a calm and collected way. He watched his wife drinking her soda and a smile grew across his face. "Enjoying your 'Pop'?" He asked with a small chuckle.

Ariana Looked over to min "well he wants to have an army of children." she laughed watching Justin "cheers" sandwiches with Max. "But i dont know, you know i Never wanted children, but i wouldnt trade Max for the world." she said messing up her sons hair "Oh come on, i would LOVE to go back and poison lafay again!" she said as that unforgettable evil grin came across her face as it often did back at hogwarts

Minerva laughed at Ariana, "Yes that was priceless when you did that." she squeezed Maxwell's shoulder knowing exactly how he felt at that moment. She wanted nothing to do with going back. She wanted to look at the future. "Awww Justin you are so cute with Maxie, I think you should have an army of kiddos. I have no siblings in my family so i need all the nieces and nephews from you."

Maxwell smiled at the squeeze on the shoulder. "I agree Ariana you should give Justin another! So that when Min and I have kids they'll have some more cousins to play with." He laughed a little knowing Ariana would protest. He looked to Min. "I mean we have Alice, but she'd better not even be thinking about boys for quite a while!" He said sounding very much the protective big brother.

" Well, if we do have anymore children I'm gonna let Ari decide this time... No tricks..." Justin said as he kissed his wife. " Even if she doen't want another I thank Merlin everyday for our son..... " he said as Little Max started fussing to get down. He set him down and he headed straight for Maxwell.
" Looks like you've got a mini me Max..." Justin chuckled.

Minerva smiled at Maxwell, "Well we have your other sisters as well, but we haven't seen them in so long." She shook her head and laughed, "lord help us all if Alice is anything like you, but when she is old enough make sure she can come to us if she ever needs anything. Someone to talk to when accidents come up is always a good thing to have." she grinned knowing all of them would know what she was talking about. "Wouldn't repeat that year either. Well maybe the engagement, but that's it." She coudlnt' help but awww when Maxie went for Maxwell. "He is just so cute."

Maxwell nodded. "Well, Kim won't see either Tabby or myself anymore now that her father brainwashed her...i'm surprised he's even still breathing.." He said with a touch of venom that said he wanted to rip the man in half. "Tabby is busy in Atlantis so i don't think we'll be seeing much of her...and yes, if Alice needs help one day I'd be happy to...after ripping said boy's head off.." he said with a small laugh and put little Max on his shoulders before turning into a Lion and parading around his living room with the boy on his back.

Little Max sat on his lion uncles back holding onto his mane... " Fas...fas...." he tried. trying to say faster as he laughed hysterically. His little legs jeering Maxwell sides a bit. As he rode around more he let out a great big belly laugh while he looked at his parents and Aunt watch on.

Maxwell ran through the house a little faster, being sure to keep his godson on his back. He let out a roar as he ran into a different room, and walked back into the living room slowly, changing back to a human and keeping little Max on his shoulders and taking his seat again.

Minerva laughed, "Justin this is your job to tame these creatures, think there is any hope for my lion?" she shook her head laughing at Maxie having fun. "I am so glad we are home."

Justin laughed watching Maxwell trot around their house with his son riding on his back... " Oi, Bud! havin a good time? Oi Oi!" he cheered as Maxwell transformed back to his human form....

Maxie cheered as his father did, " Oi Oi!" as he thrusted his little fist in the air.

Justin got up and scooped his boy up giving a high five.... These two had a bond that Justin had always wanted from a father... He was hell bent that his son would never feel as he did...

" Well, A lion like Maxwell is what I'd call... A lost cause..." Justin joked.

Maxwell laughed. "I think i'm beyond taming at this point, it's like teaching an old dog.." He said smirking at his wife. "Hopefully you'll be able to tame our cubs." He said jokingly.

Minerva laughed at Justin's comment, "Yeah I think your right." she then laughed at Maxwell. "I hope the cubs can be trained she laughed."

Justin chuckled as their friends agreed with him. " Maxwell will be just as good a father as I am... the cubs will be fine. Especially with the mother they'll have. I can remember a few times she scolded me and put me in my place..."

Maxwell nodded. "Thank you Justin, we just have to teach them while they're young before they're ruined like i am.." He said with a laugh.

Minerva laughed, "Well if you three wouldn't have been so lazy with classes I wouldn't have had to become a mother figure at school and put you in your place." she tried to be serious but laughed, "but if it wasn't for you three I would have just been in the library and on the quidditch pitch so I guess it worked out for the best."

Justin laughed as they all were talking... " i've really missed the two of you... We both have..."

Maxwell nodded. "We've missed you guys too, it was one of the reasons we decided to come home..." He said thinking about the cave they'd spent the night in mere days ago.

" we would've come to visit.... But with work and the odd assignments they were handing me up til a bout a year ago tied us down..... But, now you two are home and all is right in the world..." Justin smiled.
