Remus POV
"Midenius are you ready to go yet," I shouted.
"No, Remus, I have not magically gotten dressed in 5 seconds and also dont yell at me." she called from across the house.
"I'm not yelling at you but if you dont hurry up we are going to be late," she ran down the stairs carrying Miradith, "we could show up in a month and not be late," she said as she grabbed my hand and apparated to Spinners end. Miradith started crying when we got there. "Its ok sweetie, dont cry," she pat her on the back. "Little bit of warning next time might be nice." I said.
"Oh shut up you big baby." She replied. Miradith cried harder. "Oh no I was talking to your stupid daddy not you, come on honey." I rolled my eyes. "What did you mean, we could show up in a month and not be late." I asked. "They dont know we're coming, I wanted to surprise them." She said.
"Is that really a good idea, I mean we havent seen them for a year and Severus isn't exactly fond of surprises. She turned with her eye brows raised. "First, do not tell me things about my brother, like I do not already know them and second, do I look like I give a damn about what he is and isn't overly fond of. If I want to visit my brother and best friend occasionally I will."
"Dont get all mellodramatic, I was just saying that its not a very good idea." She rolled her eyes, "Whatever," she walked off and I followed.
"Ok, what's your problem," she laughed and continued walking. "Midenius, I'm serious, you've been in a fowl mood all week. What's wrong." She whipped around. "You, you are what is wrong." She hissed angrily.
"What, what did I do?" I asked.
"You are always lying to me, disappearing off somewhere, coming back all drained and tired, you never tell me you always lie, I can tell," I stood with my mouth open. "I umm... I just, let's not talk about this now," she shook her head. "Unbelievable," she said, "wait, I..." She interrupted me.
"You've been doing this for years, why is it so hard to just tell me the truth." Her eyes widened, "are cheating on me," she gasped.
"Wait what, no no no no, of course not..." I said hurriedly. "Well why won't you tell me," she demanded. I didn't know what to say, I went out once every week because I was a werewolf, and if I went out once a month she would realize. "Please Midenius, let's just talk about this later." She looked at me stubbornly,
"No, tell me now or, or I'll break up with you."
"Are you kidding, we are engaged, we have been together 15 years. You have never had a problem with me disappearing before why are you getting so angry now." She shifted her eyes and looked at the ground. "I dont need a reason to be getting angry now." I raised my eyebrows. "So you want me to be entirely open with you, but you are not going to be entirely open with me." She sighed and reached up and put her hands on my shoulders. "Since we became friends everyone has been telling me that you are a werewolf," my breath hitched, "I never listened because I had thought that you would tell me something like that. But recently, particular things have lined up and... well. Please Remus, just be honest with me, are you a werewolf, I really really really dont care. I love you, no matter what." I bite my lip. I was ready to tell her the truth, "I, I am," no, no I am absolutely not ready, "not, I am not a werewolf." She didnt look like she believed me at all. "I swear Midenius, I would tell you."
"Would you?" she asked doubtfully, "lets just go."
We walked in silence, except for Miradith who was asleep and snoring in Midenius' arms. When we reached his house Midenius knocked on the door,
"Go away." I heard someone bellow. Midenius ginned.
"You have gotta learn some manners little bro," she said loudly. Beatrix raced to the door with an excited squeal and shoved it open. She pulled Midenius into a big hug. Midenius smiled then pushed her off gently. "Get off now," she said, not meanly. Beatrix stood there grinning for a moment then noticed Miradith. "Ohh. Can I hold her," she asked biting her lip. Midenius nodded and our daughter to her. Beatrix took her with a smile, but it was different to her grin. "Whats her name?" she asked quietly. "Miradith." "Hello Miradith," beatrix said adoringly. "Oh I almost forgot come in." She walked away looking at Miradith. Midenius went to follow her but I stopped her. "Before we do anything else can we just stop being angry." She hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Ok, but we're going to to talk about it when we get home."
"Absolutely, " I replied. I gave her a hug, and then we went inside.
Severus walked down the stairs slowly, eyeing off the baby in Beatrix' arms. He then looked at me.
"So you two aren't divorced yet," he looked at Miradith again, "Oh and look you have a baby, how lovely." He snarled. Midenius shot him the dirtiest of looks. "What Im just observing." he drawled.
"Oh how I love visiting you Severus, you do not at all make want to murder you in your sleep, "she said sarcastically. He shrugged. Beatrix stood up and handed me Miradith. "Excuse us for a second," she said taking Severus' arm and pulling him away from us.
"Are you ok?" I asked. She snickered. "I dont give sh#t what he says, I mainly came to see Beatrix."
"Yeah, but he is still your brother; dont you get offended." She smiled, "I get used to it, and besides, Im a bit like him to."
"Only a little bit,"I said. She grinned. Beatrix and Severus came back and Beatrix was holding a different baby. "This is Salviatrix or just Salvia," she said.
"Thats a really pretty name, who came up with it," Midenius asked.
"Severus did actually." Beatrix said. "Oh god, I forgot, I have to go to Diagonally and get some stuff for work tomorrow, sorry, I've gotta go."
"I actually have got to go there myself, if that's ok," I asked Midenius." she shrugged and we headed out with Miradith and Salvia.
Midenius' POV
"So, how's it going, you know with you and Beatrix." I asked Severus. "Fine, how are things going with you and Lupin."
"Just fine? Are you unhappy being married my friend." I asked. "What, no, things are good. I asked you a question." He snapped. "Well, I know it pretty much will kill you to hear this, but things are pretty good too." I said. "Great." he said sarcastically. I stood up and went down stairs. "Where are you going?" he asked. I didnt reply. I went rumaging through all if the cupboards until I found what I was looking for. I walked back up to where he was sitting with two bottles of fire whiskey. "Those are mine." He said. I smirked. "Well, you have like a thousand bottles of different types of alcohol down there and it is unhealthy to drink it all on your own also Remus and I are having an argument and I dont feel like talking about when I get home, so I have every intention of getting a hangover." I tossed him a bottle. "I thought you saud things were good," he asked.
"They are, but all couples fight at some point," he nodded. "Alright then." He opened the bottle and started drinking. As did I.
Remus' POV
Beatrix and I came back to find Midenius and Severus, drunk as anything. Shattered glass bottles covered the floor. They were both sitting on the floor in the only place that wasnt saturated with alcohol and glass. They were both cackling. But then Midenius stopped. "Who am I," she asked. Severus stopped laughing too. "I dont know, who am I." They both looked out the window like they were lost for a moment; and then they started laughing again. "I am so sorry." I said to Beatrix. I waved my wand to clear up the mess. "Dont worry about it." She replied. I walked over to Midenius. "Come on its time to go." She glared at me. "No. Im staying here. Leave me alone." I rolled my eyes and hoisted her over my shoulder, she began kicking me and hitting me and screaming and yelling. "Ill see you later Beatrix." She smiled. "Thanks for coming." I picked up Miradith and apparated home. I dropped Midenius on the couch and went to tuck Miradith in. I went back down stairs to see Midenius who was half asleep. I put a blanket on her and went up to our bed. I went to sleep straight away.
