Alone BOOK 2 All the Stars

Chapter 27: Not again

Juliet

The golden trio stayed for about a month and it was nearing Christmas. During our time together I got to know them better and started to address Harry and Hermione by there first names instead of there surnames like I was used too.

With being on the run and in hiding Christmas wasn't as merry as it usually was but we tried to make the most of it. Hermione and I made christmas cookies while Ron and Harry attempted to play piano and sing horribly.

We were eating Christmas dinner and there was a crack. It was Remus with a panicked look on his face.

"Remus what's wrong?" Harry asks.

"Tonks." he pants, "She's 4 months pregnant. We just found out it was a boy."

"That's greta." Hermione says cheeperily.

But I notice the worried unhappy look on his face. "I don't know why I thought I could do this. I couldn't do it the first time. Maybe if I-"

I cut him off, "NO way in hell are you leaving Tonks."

"Remus come on it won't be that bad. Tonks knows what she's doing and she's happy." Harry adds.

"I know but it could have the gene and I don;t know what I'd do..." Rmus frets.

"Remus J Lupin look at me!" I demand. "He may have the gene he may not. Point is he is your son. YOURS. Who cares if he's a werewolf I guarantee no one's going to love him more than Tonks. Look at me and Ryan we're your kids and we are just fine. We may have inherited some inherited sense but hey I count that as a positive."

Remus however continues to ignore me, "Tonks thinks she knows what she wants but I don't think she does. I am old and I am poor. If this baby is a werewolf it'll only make matters worse."

"Remus the worst thing you can do is leave, And if the baby is a werewolf I have no doubt that TOnks will love it but she'll be lost in how to take care of it. She'll need your help." Harry stets.

Remus is still anxious and pakikinig so I slap him, "You will not do this again. You will go home, to Tonks and tell her you love her. You will stay with her and you will raise that baby with her. Am I clear."

Remus gulps but he looks calmer and more at peace, "You guys are right. I was being stupid and I'm sorry." He says looking at me.

I nod, "it's fine to be scared but it's not okay to run and give up."

Harry agrees and goes to make Remus some hot tea. I look around noticing Ron and Hermione were no longer in the kitchen. Remus pulls me from my thoughts and says,

"I'm glad you two were here, not only to talk sense into me but because I also wanted to ask you both a question."

"What is it?" Harry asks.

"Tonks and I wanted to ask if you both would be the godparents of the baby." Remus asks.

I smile widely, "I would love too."

"Me too." Harry agrees and Remus his tea.

Eventually Hermione and ROn venture back into the kitchen and we all sit around the table and chat.

Then a couple days later I went out to get some more food and when I came back the trio was gone without so much as leaving a note. I realized this would happen eventually so I shrugged and began to put the food away.
