The Light Behind the Moon
Chapter 1 The Arrival
"Mommy, mommy! Are you o.k.?" three year old Romulus asked as his pregnant mother was rushing to the door.
"I'm fine Rom…OH!... I'm going to the hospital with daddy so Mrs. Lausis is going to come watch you…OH MY!... hurry dear… NOW!!!
"Coming hun!" said the frightened father as they both ran through the door.
"OH NO!!!"
"It's ok Mrs. Lupin, I'll get that cleaned up right now. You better hurry!"
Mrs. Lausis yelled as she scurried through the Lupin's apartment, looking
for a mop.
"Miss Lausis?"
"Yes my little pop tart?"
Romulus giggled, he loved Mrs. Lausis, and how she called him a silly name every time she saw him.
"Why did mommy make a mess?"
Mrs. Lausis froze and almost dropped the mop from her hand.
"Uhh…well, your mother broke something" she stammered quickly.
"Why?"
"You'll find out when you're older…" her voice trailed off.
"Go sit on the sofa and pick out your favorite movie, and I'll make some hot cocoa!"
Romulus was so happy! A late night movie AND hot cocoa! He picked out his favorite muggle movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and popped it in the VCR. He didn't like the magic movies his mother had, because they made no sense at all. He wished he could me magical, but he was like his father, a muggle, in a muggle neighborhood, muggle preschool, and with muggle neighbors, except for Mrs. Lausis, she was magic too. He then pushed that thought out of his mind and snuggled up with a pillow and dreamt of being a big brother.
