Chapter 9, I own nothing but Halley Tonks. Thanks to everyone for the reviews, you guys are some of the best reviewers ever! Anyway, before you read you're gonna need some cookies because I find it's always good to read fanfictions with a little snack.
"What's that word?" Halley asked pointing at the page in the Daily Prophet as they ate breakfast.
"Extraordinary," Remus answered as he caught sight of Andromeda and Ted Tonks smiling happily at him. "Are you done eating Hal, I was going to take you to Diagon Ally today so we can get the stuff your mommy told us to get for you."
Halley wrinkled her nose and her hair turned mousey brown, "Can auntie Ginny and auntie Hermione go with us?"
Molly threw Remus a look that said "Sorry but no," before turning back to the stove. Remus sighed and said "Not this time kid,"
Halley crossed her arms and decided to pout as Remus finished reading the paper. "Are you going to do that all day Hal?" The girl didn't answer. Remus hid his grin as he crossed his arms, put an angry look on his face, and pretended to pout.
"Remy," Halley whispered in surprise as the brown haired man continued to 'pout'. "Remy please don't be sad, please."
Remus suddenly felt guilty as he heard the hurt in the girl's voice. He dropped the act and pulled the girl into a gentle, father like hug. "Are you ready to go to Diagon Ally now?"
"Yes," Halley said smiling brightly as she jumped off Remus's lap and hurried to get her shoes from off the counter next to the door.
"You're really good for her you know," Andromeda whispered as looked knowingly at the werewolf.
Remus shrugged his shoulders, "It's not that hard, she's a good kid."
Ted laughed "Remus Dromeda wasn't talking about Halley." He said as Halley ran back over to Remus holding a shoe in each hand.
Remus lifted the four year old onto the table then turned to frown at the older man sitting next to him, "Then who were you talking about?"
"And I use to think you were intelligent Remus," Andromeda said as ran a hand threw her granddaughters hair "I was talking about Nymphadora,"
"Mommy," Halley said recognizing her mother's name in the conversation. Then she grinned and said "Grandma guess what, Remy loves mommy and he's going to be my daddy."
The whole kitchen went silent and everyone seemed to turn and stare at Remus. Said werewolf rubbed the back of his neck nervously then went back to tying Halley's shoes.
"Remy, you do still love me and mommy right?" Halley whispered as Andromeda lifted the girl on her lap.
Remus cleared his throat and said "You and your mommy are my very dear friends," at Halley's confused look he tried "I don't like you mommy the way you think I do."
Halley's lip shook, "Now I'll never get a daddy," she jumped off of Andromeda's lap and ran out of the room.
Remus's heart broke as he knew just how the kid was feeling; his dad had left his mom and him when Remus was only eight to go live with his mistress and their son in Australia.
"Somebody should go talk to her," Andromeda whispered as she made a move to stand up. Remus stuck his arm out and shook his head.
"I'll go, I know how's she's feeling." And he left the kitchen in search for the mousey brown haired blue eyed four year old metamorphmagus (Sorry if that is spelled wrong).
Okay here's a little something to hold you all over until next chapter, review and tell me what you think of the chapter/story. Oh and suggestion for chapter ideas are always welcomed!
