Iris Evans
Iris blames Lily if her cousin hadn't mentioned the fact that Sirius and Regulus found out about her, she wouldn't have been subjected to inviting said little brother's to the family barbecue, but here she is in her uncle Harrison's backyard sitting at the table, watching Petunia give her little brother's a crash course on mundane's the mundane world, and most importantly in Petunia's opinion of course what the the hell a television is, and why in the mundane world not knowing what a television is will get you exposed quicker then knowing what year the toaster was invented (why they needed to know when a toaster was invented had everyone in the family confused).
Petunia had already sent a howler to the muggle studies teacher at Hogwarts, and then sent a very detailed letter on everything wrong with the muggle studies textbooks, then did the exact same thing with the headmaster, deputy headmistress, all four heads of house, the governors of Hogwarts the DMLE, the obliviators, the muggle department of the ministry and even the minister of magic themselves (Petunia had Iris herself create magical copies of everything so she didn't need to write everything multiple times), let's just say that Sirius and Regulus after watching what Petunia did are rightful scared of her.
Thankfully, Iris mother Amarilis was warm and welcoming, so her brothers aren't that terrified of her family yet. It was only a matter of time. Iris would wait until she had to step in.
Her God-brother Severus Snape was sitting on the ground showing some of the kids magic, that he was doing wandless, much to Sirius and Regulus surprise, everyone else's already knew that Severus could do that so no one else was surprised, especially since Iris' mother likes to make the children to learn wandless magic before going to magic school and confiscates all of age school students wands for the school hoildays to force them to do wandless magic.
As the day progressed Iris stayed by her brothers and introduced them to everyone which meant Uncle Harrison, Aunt Victoria who prefers Vicky, grandma Lizzy, grandpa Ed, cousin Alexander who was great uncle Tom's son and Alex's children Thomas, Rose, Willow, Henry, Alice and Jonathan.
Yes Iris knew six kids was a lot, but Alex was filthy rich just based on his personal wealth adding on his inheritance he was more then filthy rich, and his wife just happened to have had family history of twins in the family, so the fact that Thomas and Rose are twins and Willow and Henry are twins and Alice and Jonathan are twins too really shouldn't have surprised as many as they did.
Either way after introducing Alex's wife Meya Riddle née Prewett who just so happens to be Molly Weasley née Prewett's older squib sister, who she still keeps in contact with evident by the fact that Molly Weasley née Prewett and her two sons William and Charles Weasley were also here, and had already been introduced to her brother's.
Molly was now busy playing with the two sets of twins ages varying a two year old and a almost one year old, Molly like usual was in her element when it came to entertaining children, and not for the first time Iris wondered what would happen if Molly was a kindergarten teacher or a primary school teacher, she knows that Molly was suited for caring after small children before they reach the twelve year old mark, Molly kind of get lost in how to approach them that's the best way Iris can describe it.
As the day continued and she saw her brother's having fun and saw her mother's spelled cameras, which automatically took pictures her mother had spelled twelve for today, one was always with her brother's she had realised early on in the day it was mainly so her mother could give copies to her brothers to keep.
Iris laughed seeing Willow's accidental magic or wild magic as the Evans family preferred, had turned Sirius' hair sliver and his skin Green and Regulus hair gold and his skin red and turned Lily's hair bronze and her skin blue, this meant that Willow was trying to get Lily to change Hogwarts houses again, as little Willow still believed that Lily was meant for the Eagle's nest, and judging by Sirius and Regulus new looks the two decided to either convince Lily to join the snake's pit cough Regulus cough or to stay in the lion's den cough Sirius cough, and Willow who knew about the Gryffindor and Slytherin revelry enough to know which colour to change Sirius and Regulus to, and like usual Lily is blue and bronze, Iris would just like one family reunion that involves Willow to end without Lily becoming blue and bronze just once.
