Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling; I do not own these characters, or Harry Potter. But if I did... *sighs* imagine the money.
Somerlia- Thank you, and yes over-prtective brother's coming up next, even though I really should've put more into that...
Lilu'u Malfoy- ... I understood NONE of that. Okay, maybe I understood a little. I want to read this fanfiction! Tell me who its by or what its called! Please! Anyway, I'm kind of against spoilers but I'll give you one right here, right now. It does not end like that. I've already more or less decided on how it ends, sort of. And its nothing that complicated, trust me.
ghostofyourlastlaugh- Thank you so much. It mean alot to me that it's so good you have to convert to gibberish to explain how much you loved it. You seriously have no clue how happy that makes me(:
obsessivegirl73- Yeah, I didn't quite intend for that to jappen, but I noticed when I was editing, and decided to just leave it there. Thank you so much(:
Beth890xxx- Thank you
Violet Bleu- Yep poor Remy xD
Teddy R. Lupin- Well, it wasn't at first, but I did notice it while editing before I posted it, and decided to leave it there. And yeah I suppose it is kind of cool. Like when Remus is at the last battletalking to Kingsley and he knows he's about to die, he remembers his old love, Lily Luna Potter. Okay, I'll admit what I just typed is kind of wierd even for me. Oh well, school makes me odd :/ Nothing I can do about it. Anyway thanks for reading and I'm glad you like it.
James Sirius Potter was mad. Furious, pissed off, use any word you please to describe it. He first got mad when his little sister walked down the staircase leading from the dormitories to the Common Room, or rather; she walked down the stairs leading to the boys dormitories. He was about to stop her and yell at her and demand which dick head she had been up there with, but she swept through the room and was out the portrait hole quicker than he could say Quidditch. And who should appear at the foot of the boy's staircase just as she left the room, but Remus Lupin? Remus our-grandfather's-best-friend-slash-werewolf-slash-god-brother's-father Lupin. James watched as he strode across the room in the same fashion as Lily-Lu just had not five seconds earlier.
James turned around and looked at the armchair across from him where his little brother, Albus sat. He had put down the book he was previously reading and looked James right in the eye. Yup, he had seen it too, and yup, they were on the same page. They both stood and left the room, heading up the boy's staircase to the fifth year boy's dorm.
James, Sirius, and Peter laughed after Heidi left the room, though not about anything Heidi had done.
"So, James," grinned Sirius, "how does it feel to know one of your best friends just made out with your granddaughter in the middle of a boy's dormitory?"
"A bit different, though I suppose the shock's more on Lupin that he made out with a girl at all."
The boys laughed again until the saw a tall, intimidating figure in the doorway, flanked by an equally tall and intimidating figure.
"Lupin made out with who?" growled Jamie.
Peter gulped. James and Sirius exchanged uneasy glances.
"Lily-Lu."
Al nodded, "Lily-Lu. As in Lily Luna Potter. Our little sister from the future."
Sirius held up his hands, "We didn't do it, we're not Moony."
Jamie turned on his grandfather, "Why didn't you do anything? Yell at them or something, you're her grandfather!"
James frowned; the thought hadn't occurred to him. He was having serious trouble remembering the Krum siblings were actually his grandchildren, so when he saw Remus and Luna that morning all he could think of was how happy he was for his friend.
"Yeah, yeah, I probably should have..."
"'Probably should have?' You-"
"Leave it, Jamie. This accomplishes nothing."
Jamie stopped yelling and thought about what his brother said and decided he was right. Why was he yelling at all the Marauders? He should just be yelling at Lupin.
Down by the lake, Remus sighed and nodded, "Maybe is better than no."
He started to go back towards the castle, but Luna stopped him, "Let's stay down here."
She led him closer to the lake and picked up a stone, then threw it. Remus watched the stone skip across the water until it disappeared.
They kept on like that for a while; Remus didn't know how to skip stones, so Luna had to show him. As she stood behind him he turned to face her in her arms. Luna sighed. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Sure," she tried to take a step back, but he stepped with her. She tried to move away again, but he stayed with her.
"Remus, stop, we shouldn't-"
"I know, but it's going to be fine. Listen, I'm a Marauder, and while I am the sensible Marauder, I'm still one. Marauders live in the moment; tomorrow's problems are for tomorrow."
Luna looked at him with raised eyebrows, "As great as that sounds, that isn't how I remember the story."
"The story? We aren't stories, Luna. We are real people!"
"Yes, you are. You are real people whose lives were a story told to me as a child."
Remus frowned down at her, "Yeah, well, how does story end?"
"You know I can't tell you that."
He groaned and rubbed his temples, "Let's- let's just go inside."
They walked up to the castle in silence, Lily walking just a little bit ahead of Remus. After they got back up to the Common Room, they started to head to the chairs, but were cut off.
"Hello Lily. Remus."
"Jamie don't-"
Jamie interrupted his sister, and grabbed Remus by the collar of his shirt, "If you dare lay a hand on my sister-"
"Relax, she won't let me."
Remus shoved Jamie off and headed up the boys' staircase. Luna glared at his retreating back and marched up the girls' staircase, her grandmother following.
"What was that about?"
Luna turned to look at her. They were standing in the middle of the fourth year girl's dormitory. Lily looked worried and was approaching Luna slowly. Luna was scowling and her eyes looked slightly red. Her face had scars stretched across it, not completely ruining her good looks, but definitely doing some damage.
"And what happened to your..." Lily caught herself, knowing that asking the question like that would probably offend her.
Luna looked at her thoughtfully. Should she tell Lily she was a werewolf? She was technically her grandmother, but she was only a year older than Luna herself! She knew that Lily had accepted Remus when the Marauder's told her after she and James got married, but maybe Lily wouldn't have the same reaction. Maybe she was prejudice against werewolves and she gets over it by the time they tell her about Remus! Luna only had a limited time with her, and then she'd never see her again. She couldn't have something as stupid as that ruin it.
"It was an accident from when I was a child."
"Oh. Sorry to hear."
"It's all right."
Lily looked back at Luna, "So, what was that about with Remus and your brother?"
"Well, remember the party last night?"
"I remember the first thirty minutes of it."
"I woke up in Remus' bed this morning."
Lily raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, it wasn't technically his bed, but I woke up in the same bed as him. We didn't do... that, we know because we had clothes on. Then we were talking and we kissed and James, Sirius, Peter, and Heidi saw it, so by the end of the weekend the whole school will know. Then I walked out and Remus followed me and he asked me out and I said maybe. After that we skipped rocks, and he started flirting and we started arguing and we came back to the tower, and then James did that, and yeah."
Lily toke time to absorb all of what her granddaughter had said, "But, dating someone from the future is probably the dumbest thing you could do."
Luna snorted, "Tell me about it. And there's more to it."
"More to it?"
"He has a son who is my father's godson, so he's basically like another big brother, only he's not as annoying as Al and Jamie. Imagine if I did date Remus. How could I go back home and look his son in the eyes again?" at this point Luna wasn't quite sure if she was asking her grandmother this or herself. With a sigh she flopped down on her bed.
Lily walked over to Luna and sat at the foot of the bed. "Listen, Dearie," Luna let a strangled sound that sounded like a cross between a laugh, a cough, and a snort, "life is never easy. But sometimes, you just have to follow your heart and have faith everything will be all right in the end."
Luna giggled, "You sound like an old lady," indeed, that was exactly the effect Lily had been going for.
"Well, I am supposed to be your grandmother..."
Luna nodded and focused her eyes on the ceiling. She felt weight lift off the bed and heard footsteps, and then she heard the door open and close. "I'll try," she whispered to the silence.
A/N- Hello, sorry it took me so long to get back, and its such a short, horrible chapter. No, seriously I hate this one. I had my first day of high school on July 26th. I hate it! I miss middle school so much! Does anybody here now the fanfiction called My Immortal? I read it. I was scared to update any of my stories for fear the, the just horrid, stupidness of that story might have effected me. Urgh. Though when I read it I couldn't stop laughing. Mainly because I had to read one the commentary's because the Tara whats-her-face deleted her account along with that story, and the person commenting was funny as crap. I wanted to see what other stories she had. I think it'd be pretty hilarious if that My Immortal was really just a joke and all of her other stories were perfectly written fanfiction masterpieces. Anyway, I'm seriously digressing here and this Author's Note is really long and pointless. So bye.
