Here's the sequel. I really don't think it will be as long as the first one
but we'll just see where my unpredictable muses take me. Thank you guys for
being so supportive through 'Can Love Survive' as many of you know that was
both my first Harry Potter fanfiction as well as my first piece of slash.
It's addicting isn't it. I haven't been able to write anything else since
(but I'm not complaining). I hope this as yet untitled fic is as well
received as the first and here is the first chapter. Enjoy!
This takes place about a week after 'Can Love Survive' ended. Its about 2 hours after Percy Weasleys funeral.
"Fred you ok?" Tawny asked, slipping her arms around him. He nodded and rested his head on her shoulder, still struggling to come to terms with his brothers death. Percy was only twenty-two he was too young to die. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was engaged to Penelope Clearwater and was clearly enjoying life until that ass Voldemort interfered. If Fred had the chance, he would gladly bring Voldemort back to life and personally kill him again.
"Why? He didn't deserve death," Fred finally asked his eyes filling with tears yet again.
"No one knows the answer to that love. I wish I could help you out but I can't. You can't blame yourself because you and George always made fun of him. It's what brothers do. So don't you dare think it's your fault," she said sternly as George entered the living room. The twins exchanged a look that Tawny almost missed but she got the hint anyway.
"I don't really feel like I should be here. It seems like it should be family time. I'm gonna go to my Dad's," she said, standing up.
"You're practically family you can stay if you want," George said, speaking to her for the first time.
"No, I still don't think your parents like me very much," she said before leaning down to whisper in Fred's ear. "If you need me you know where I'll be," she said, kissing his cheek before disapperating with a pop.
"Tawny what are you doing here? I thought you'd be with Fred," Remus said, surprised to see her standing in the kitchen.
"I sensed family time was needed so I left to be with my family. Where's Dad?" she asked, looking around for her father.
"He's at Hogwarts. McGonagal owled him. I have a feeling with her being the Headmistress since Dumbledores death, she wants him to teach Transfiguration since he's so good at it," Remus said tiredly as he rubbed his eyes.
"You ok Uncle Remus?" Tawny asked, hugging him.
"Just tired. Full moon was last night," he said with a yawn. "I know I'm getting old when it begins to effect me like this."
"You're not old. You're only 39 and that's not old. Just wait till you hit McGonagals age, that's old," she said, causing him to laugh.
"True. Would you be upset if I left you alone down here and went to bed?" he asked softly.
"I don't care. You need rest. I'll be fine. I'll find something to do," she said as he ascended the stairs to the room he and Sirius shared. "I hope he's ok," she said to herself as she sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. (a/n: just pretend Remus and Sirius are obsessed with muggle television). When Sirius walked in a few hours later she was watching "Ed, Edd and Eddy." He smiled and kissed the top of his daughters head.
"Hey Princess," he said, sitting down beside her.
"Hi Dad," she said, snuggling close to her father and closed her eyes. He hadn't called her Princess in forever.
"Where's Moony?" he asked after a few moments of silence.
"Asleep," was her only word as she looked up at the dark circles under her fathers eyes. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I've just got a lot on my mind," he said, unwilling to say anything more.
"You're worried about Uncle Remus aren't you?" she asked finally.
"Yah, the transformations seem to be getting harder for him and it's taking him longer to recover even with the Wolfsbane. I just wish there was something I could do." He hated standing by helpless while the man he loved was in pain.
"I worry about him too but he'll be ok," she reassured him softly, giving him a hug as someone apparated into the room in front of them.
"I couldn't stand being there anymore. If I hear the words 'its ok to cry' one more time I swear I'm going to scream," Fred said, announcing his presence. Tawny laughed and stood up.
"I know you're probably tired of hearing this too, but are you ok?" Sirius asked after Tawny gave Fred a kiss.
"Seriously I'm ok," he said with a smile before Tawny led him up the stairs to her room. Sirius sighed, turned off the tv and followed them but instead of going into Tawnys room he went into his own. He stripped down to his boxers and curled up next to Remus after casting a quick silencing charm, really not wanting to hear what was probably going on in Tawnys room.
I will get to Harry and Draco next chapter I promise! Please R/R!!
