Before the War( Remus Lupin Love Story)

Chapter 13

Lilys POV

I had just gotten home from Kings cross station. My mother Susan had just walked into the house. Her blonde hair was neatly in a braid that cascaded to the middle of her back, her bright green eyes always showing signs of being mischievous, While my father Harold carried my trunk into the house. My father had graying red hair and bright blue eyes.He was a thin and lanky man standing at 6' 3. While my mother only stood at 5'5. I had to love them they were trying their best between the two of us. 

Petunia luckily was at her boyfriend Vernons for the holidays. Well that's what I had thought. When I walked into our small home I spotted Tunie on the couch sitting holding hands with a beefy looking man. He looked as if he could kill me if he sat on me. 

" Um, Hello! Its nice to meet you" I held out my hand as he only swatted it away causing me to flinch slightly. 

" Petunia how are you doing?" I asked slightly my voice cracking a little as Petunia glared at me. 

" Why would you want to know you freak? And for your information I'm engaged now!" She sneered at me as I only frowned a little. 

" I was just asking how you were, I didn't mean to offend you" I rolled my eyes heading to my room. As I walked up the steps I heard Vernons voice.

" How rude of her, I'm a guest in YOUR home, and your going to just let your daughter talk to your other daughters future husband like that?" I growled walking over to him getting in his face. 

" For your information Mr. Dursley Iv'e been more than nice to you when you would be here. If your going to treat MY parents like this than your no longer welcomed here when I AM HERE" I practically screamed the last bit as he looked at me first with shock than with rage.

" For your information freak, I don't like you and neither does any one in this house. They only put up with you because your their daughter" He smirked at me before continuing." I bet your friend the slime ball will be here soon so you guys can just go!"

I glared at him before spitting in his face as my father quickly removed me from the room holding back a smirk as we went outside.

" WHY DOES HE HAVE TO TREAT YOU GUYS, AND ME LIKE A PILE OF DUNG" I practically screamed as my father only chuckled. His bright blue eyes shining a little. 

" You know Lily, When we first brought you home we knew you were special. Actually we've kinda always knew you were different... I love you no more than I love Petunia Lily" I saw him remove his glasses as he looked at me." You know why we deal with Vernon? Its because he makes Petunia Happy Lily." His smile faltered a little" I just can't believe my little girls are growing up so fast."

I looked at him as it started to snow and I smiled a bit as he continued. 

" Honestly Lily when you meet the right guy keep him okay! I'm proud of the things you can do, and I'm happy to be your father... But there is something we need to talk about love!" I looked at my father noticing he looked sicker than a few months ago. 

" You see Lily we wanted to wait till you got home to tell you but with Vernon there I can't do it in front of him in case he berates you." He sighed looking much older than he did a few minuets prior.

" Lily I have cancer, and its terminal! Your mother and I discussed it and I'm not going to do chemo. Although this might be hard to hear but I was given two months. I might not make it to see your wedding, so please Lily when you find a man who loves you for you... Keep him" 

I felt like crying. My father was practically my best friend. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be attending Hogwarts. Mother disapproved of it before I had started. I didn't know what I did next but I hugged my father sobbing. 

" I love you daddy" 

Sirius POV

We had just gotten to the Potters house and boy did I miss it. Euphemia was baking cookies while Fleamont was reading the daily prophet. 

" Welcome Home Boys"Euphemia said to us as James ran over to hug her and I followed suit.

" How was the first half the school year?" She said as her short black hair in little ringlets bounced with every step she took. 

" It was great mum, There was a new girl from Ilvermorny that just transfered. Shes a Hufflepuff and Remus won't let her alone" He smiles happily looking at his mother as I heard Fleamont snort. 

" At least he doesn't swoon every time someone says Lily" I snorted as James turned crimson. 

" For your information old man we started dating this year" He smiles proud of himself. As his mother smacks him with a spoon.

" Don't speak to your father that way young man or so help me!" Fleamont chuckles at his sons actions turning to Sirius.

" So I heard you like someone" I looked at Mr. Potter before turning crimson. 

" Um... Her names Louise Bonnefoy. Shes a hufflepuff and a seer, she so pretty too." I blushed as James started mocking me and I flipped him off earning a smack with the spoon to my hand and I blushed as Euphemia smiles at us. 

" You two go clean up dinner will be ready in a few and I want you two unpacked and washed up before dinner am I understood... James... Sirius" She gave us the " I won't put up with your shit look" Before letting us run up stairs to unpack. 

I went to my side of the room as James was on the other. The room wasn't to big nor too small. It was capable of housing two twin sized beds, two Hogwarts trunks, Two desks, and two Marauders. The walls were a golden color with one wall covered in red. It was the colors of Gryffindor. I unpacked my trunk as James sprawled out on his bed yawning.

" I miss being home" He looked up at the ceiling that had a moving painting of quidditch players. " Mom isn't doing well by the sound of her voice. This isn't good padfoot." He looked at me as I finished unpacking my clothing. 

" Your parents are in their 70's now Padfoot, They will have off days" I looked at James who had a look of thinking covering his face. 

" Do you think they will like the girls. I mean think about it. Lily can be brutally harsh, and Victoria can be blunt when she wants to be. 

" I'm not sure prongs, they might be able to handle them, I mean think about it, they can handle all four of us marauders all at once, they can handle the girlfriends of said marauders." My smirk was covering my face as we quickly cleaned up heading back down for dinner as we sat around talking about everything that has happened over the semester. 

This was going to be a hell of a Holiday break
