Under the Silver Moon

Cressant Moon

The Lupin couple arrived early to beat the hustle and bustle of the students. A cloaked arm wrapped around silver silk covered shoulders as it guided to the most comfortable compartment closest to the middle, allowing Rue to the closest bathroom. Her eyes Frosted over with drowsiness; her body changed with her pregnancy, leaving her with wider hips the before and two cup size larger, but Remus found her new changes to be beautiful cladded in her ombré silver to gold dress. She hugged her stomach and rubbed the spot where the little one was kicking. A small smile crossed her face every time the baby kicked or moved. They settled into their compartment; Remus placed their smaller cases above on the rack and joined his wife's side. He kissed her temple gently and raked his banded hand over her cheek to place stray strands from her braid behind her ear where he saw the custom pink studs that she now wore in all her ear holes. A soft sigh rolled off her lips as she feel into his body warmth. Her nearly right month body was growing heavy; the baby was now moving more and kicking heavily. The unborn found its most comfortable position with the head on her left side and feet kicking upward to the right. Rue leaned back, craving sleep. Remus caught onto her desire and grabbed her grey cloak, wrapping around her body. She pulled him over so he closer to her; his hand in hers and head close to her ear so she could feel his steady breathing. He took this sleeping position rather seriously because it showed that her body was craving his strength. His unwanted gene now coursing through her blood slightly due to the child. The father to be thoughts ran wild fear now that he knew that his child would be like him. The sound of children entering the train sounded into his ears; his eyes stared at his now dead to the world wife. Her lips slightly gapped and hands now gripped loosely onto his. The sound of her tongue clicking have him the clear, but when he heard a quiet knock from outside his compartment he expected to see a student; instead he met The potion master. He stood outside the door just waiting for Remus to start the conversation. When he didn't, he gave in and asked the questions he was curious about knowing answers too.

"What is she having?"

Remus shook his head, enveloping his wife closer when she shivered. He tucked the cloak tight around her exposed shoulders.

"Why so interested, Severus? You never cared about her before or bothered to check up on her since she started dating me. Fifteen years ago."

"She's my sister. Sadly, she may not be the highest priority, but while she is at Hogwarts and you are having your issues then she is my responsibility."

Remus sighed. He wasn't going to put anymore issues into his wife's life; she was needing a stress free environment and plenty of rest. He stroked her banded hand.

"A girl. We are having a little girl, and before the words creep out of your mouth she has my gene. Rue carries traits as well to help insure my daughters safety in the womb. "

Severus scowled. He hated that his only family surviving dated a monster but married him and has been for thirteen years; now expecting a child. He couldn't hide his distaste from the man before him, sitting beside his blood.

"Rosalyn Meadow" Remus finished as he closed his eyes.

Severus disposed him, what he has done to her, and for having what he never could. The potion master made his way to his back compartment with the name echoing in his head; a girl...a girl with the genes of monster.

The couple slept peacefully until Remus Lupin's ears caught voices entering their compartment. He didn't move due to Rue's body was comfortable.

"Who are they?"

"R.J. Lupin and R.S. Lupin. " a girl answered matter of factly

"You know everything don't you?" The same boy voice asked

"It on their suitcases, Ronald. "

Remus withheld a chuckle and dozed back off to her light clicking, which seemed to annoy the kids.

"What is that bloody noise?"

"It coming from one of them probably the woman." Another boy answered, " do you think they are asleep?"

"Seem to be why?"

With that, Remus lupin faded out the world and fell back asleep; to only be awoke by a sudden stop, causing Rue to moan in pain. Her hands rubbed her swollen stomach. She remained under his body weight and drew closer as she felt an icy cold feel the train. Her green eyes opened to see ice forming; fear creeped though her as she knew of only one creature that could do that. Remus stared into his wife's wide ones. He never moved, hoping it would show the dementors they were no threat, but it didn't work out that way. It drew closer into the compartment. Rue groaned as the little unborn girl kicked harder and pushed uncomfortably against her sides, sensing danger. The fowl creature attacked one to the kids; causing Remus'S fatherly instincts to kick in and ward off the beast. His eyes saw an unconscious boy laying on the bench beside him; he looked over at Rue. She was hunched over and paling out. She was in shock; the baby was getting stronger and quicker then her body could catch up to her. He held his wife's head up where he saw her green eyes glossy. She have him a weak smile as she was leaned back against the warmed window. He brushed his hand against her cheek.

"Sleep, love. You need to desperately. " he whispered.

Rue nodded and allowed her weakened body to give out under the warm cloak. She was asleep sighing minutes. Remus sat back; he felt eyes on him. He turned to see two kids. They were silent.

"She okay?" The girl asked

"She will be fine. She just needs to rest. "

"How far is she?"

"Border line right months. "

The young teenage girl looked excited. She kept staring at her stomach.

"Do you know what your having?"

Remus laughed. He rubbed his face and leaned his head until

He could see the ceiling.

"A little girl. This must be the infamous Harry potter?"

The two Kids looked at each other, but they nodded.

"He needs to be woken up. " Remus commanded, pulling something out of his suitcase.

The kids did as they were told. Harry came to after a good ten minutes of being unconscious. Remus saw his green eyes and instantly recognized one of his best friends in them. As soon as the boy sat up completely and out on his glasses, he handed the boy the chocolate.

"Eat. It will make you feel better. I going to have a word with the driver. "

Harry was confused, but before he could ask; Remus popped his head back into the compartment.

"Eat. "

Remus headed toward the front; his mind drifted to his still pale wife who was having trouble sleeping. She was in need of sleep and loads of vitamins. The father sighed and continued on his task so he could get back to his wife quicker. A smile crossed his lips at the thought of his daughter, Rosalyn Meadow.
