the Marauders story- year one

'Home for unwanted and abandoned children'

The wolf grew much, much faster than the boy and it proved to be getting more and more troublesome to keep it contained. With the wolf's growing size Remus was also affected by it, he was short for a seven year old the doctors were worried why a five year old would match that height but Lyall and Hope told them it was nothing. Remus was also eating twice the amount any normal five year old boy would eat.

Remus senses were also higentend and when August rolled around he started acting strange around Hope, Lyall and Hope thought nothing of it until the next month she missed her schulde completely and that was when they realised that Hope was pregnant Lyall and Hope were ecstatic about it as they had been trying since april and finally the fates were on their side.

By Christmas the wolf had grown claws and the wolf's baby teeth were starting to be replaced by proper sized teeth, it started tearing up the carpet and clawing at the walls, begging to have its thirst for human blood and flesh met. But that wasn't all.

Hope was five months into her pregnancy and they had found out the gender of the baby. It was a boy and they announced this to the public and were gifted with a range of things for their newborn from both family and Lyall's supporters.

It was on new years eve that Lyall came over to Hope, he wrapped a very protective arm around hope and his unborn son, that was when he started to speak.

"Hope, dear, our baby is due in four months isn't it exciting?" Lyall asked, hope nodded in reply her crystal blue eyes wide with joy and happiness with her arms holding her baby bump "there's still so much we need to do, but first we need to address the elephant in the room, Remus" Lyall continued, and Hope's smile dropped from her face and her eyes didn't twinkle nearly as much.

"I know Ly, but can't it wait till after our little boy is born. For Remus, so he can see his little brother, just once?" Hope asked Lyall, who shook his head solemnly.

"You know just as well that I do, that once we see our sons together it'll only be harder to get rid of Remus. It'll be best for us, Remus and our little unborn son to do it before Jacob comes into the world. Will remove every trace of Remus from our lives and will live as if we had never heard of him before, okay?" lyall tells Hope, who nods with tears gilensting in her eyes about to spill over.

"On a few conditions Lyall. Firstly, Remus gets to choose his name, not you or i and we live up to that and name him that in honour of Remus. Secondly we throw him a gigantic birthday party and invite our entire family, everyone, on both sides and we take him to his favourite place and we stay there for the night before, of and after" Hope started getting choked up "after that, we stag a funeral and you take him to the orphanage it's the least we can do for him. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Hope, thank you for accepting this like you have. It means a lot" hope started crying, she kissed Lyall on the lips quickly than spied Zoë

"I'm going to Zoë's for the night, i'll see you tomorrow"

It was just then that Remus walked in and saw hope crying.

"Mummy! Are you okay!?'' Remus asked, concerned for his mum who picked him up balancing him on her hip.

"Yes dear, i'm fine the baby is just moving around a lot but don't worry about it mummy will be fine. Now I'm going to Aunty Zoë's tonight for a girls night and you're going to stay here with daddy and be a good big boy for me, okay? Now goodnight my big boy, and remember mummy loves you" Hope tells Remus, while fighting back tears and swallowing it in her throat.

She then spun him around in the air and planted a kiss on the side of his cheek, making sure he knows just how much he is loved by Hope.

Zoë saw and heard everything that had happened, and she saw through Hope's smile and glistening eyes she read her like a child's book like she had always done. She knew what was going to happen, she knew Hope needed her now more than she ever will and ever had. She knew exactly how much Hope loved her little boy, she knew that this was torture for Hope and that she'll never recover no matter how long she spends with her baby boy. and most of all she knew it was entierley and souley Lyall's fault.
