Chapter Eleven

Three months had gone by without anyone else seeming to find out that Emily was pregnant. The only people that knew were Lily, Sirius, James, Remus, and some of the professors.

"Wow," Lily said one day as they walked along to Hogsmeade, "your tummy is starting to like really show."

"I know," Emily said, looking down at her stomach, "soon everyone will know."

"You know what I keep wondering," Lily said, "how are you going to come back next year."

"Well," Emily said, "I haven't really given it much thought."

"Here is what we can do," Remus said, wrapping his arms around Emily's stomach, "we can let my dad take care of the baby while you finish school."

"I haven't met your dad," Emily said.

"You will over the summer," Remus said with a small smile.

"Oh yes," Sirius said, "and this is how it's going to go. Hello dad, this is my pregnant girlfriend, will you watch our baby while we complete school."

Everyone kind of stopped walking for a second and thought about what Sirius had just said.

"You know he is kind of right," James said as they began to walk again, "how are you going to tell your dad?"

"It might be best to tell him now," Lily said, "that way when summer comes you don't just spring it on him."

"Good idea," Remus said, "i will write him a letter while we are at the three broomsticks."

"You know I just noticed that Peter is seeming to be distant," James said, looking around, "where does he keep going?"

"Who cares," Sirius said as they entered the three broomsticks, "lets just get something to drink."

They sat down at a table and someoene came over and took their order. Remus pulled out a quil and some parchment and starting writing stuff down.

"So what are you telling him?" Sirius asked.

Remus finished the letter and reading it to them, quietly.

Hello dad, I'm sorry I haven't wrote to you in the past four months. I have been really busy. Well, remember that girl Emily I told you about in my last letter, well I kind of got her pregnant. She is about five months along right now. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I just didn't know how. I do hope that you will help me to take care of my little baby when it gets here.

"That's good enough," Lily said, taking the parchment and putting it in an envelope.

Lily wrote Remus's dads name on it, before quickly running off.

"Guess it is better that she mail it," Remus quietly said, "I might get too nervous."

Everyone continued to drink their drinks. No one seemed to notice Snape stand up from the table next to them and walk out with a letter of his own in his hands. When they were done, they left the three broomsticks.

two weeks later

It was a beautiful saturday and everyone was in the Great Hall, eating. Than the mail got there. An owl landed in front of Remus and he took the letter.

"I got a reply from dad," Remus muttered, looking a bit nervous.

Remus was about to open it when a letter landed in front of Emily, who just froze.

Everyone around them went silent.

"It's a howler," James said, "that sucks who would send you a howler?"

"EMILY SNAPE, " the letter yelled and the entire Great Hall fell silent, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL US YOU WERE PREGNANT. HOW DARE YOU CARRY A FILTHY HALF BREEDS CHILD. YOU HAVE DISHONORED YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND IF YOU THINK YOU CAN COME HOME WELL YOU'RE WRONG. I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU OR YOUR FILTHY HALF BREED CHILD."

The letter stopped yelling and ripped itself up. Everyone was silent for about a minute before they started whispering.

"Wow," Lily said, "I can't believe they did that. How did they find out?"

"Easy," Sirius said, pointing over at the Slytherin table.

"Well," Emily said, "that was embarrassing. Ok, what did your dad say?"

Remus opened the letter and read it.

Hello son, wow that is really big news. That wasn't something I was expecting to here for awhile. Though, it has happened and I will help you and Emily in anyway that I can. We will talk about this more when you are out of school for the summer. Be safe.

"Well, now you have somewhere to stay," Lily said, "you will write to us when the baby is here?"

"Yes, of course," Emily said, "than you have to come see the baby."

"Duh," Sirius said, "we will come see the baby."

"I'm glad we have someone that at least will help us," Emily said, "your dad is so understanding."

"Yes, me too," Remus said and everyone continued to eat their food.

End of school

They were on the train heading home. Remus had his hand on Emily's stomach and so did Sirius.

"It's kicking," Sirius yelled with a big grin on his face.

"Why the heck are you so happy?" James asked folding his arms.

"I don't know," Sirius quickly said, before pulling his hand away and just staring out the window, "we are almost there."

"Finally," Emily said, "I get to meet your dad."

"I do hope he likes you," Remus said.

The train came to a stop and everyone got out. Lily said goodbye when she found her parents. Remus saw his dad standing there. The four of them walked over to him.

"Hello dad," Remus said, giving his dad a hug.

"I missed you," Mr. Lupin said, "is this Emily?"

"Hello," Emily kind of muttered.

Mr. Lupin stared at Emily for awhile, than stared at her stomach.

"Well, come on now," Mr. Lupin said, "we do have things to do now."

James and Sirius said goodbye before they went off to look for their parents. Mr. Lupin took Emily's trunk. They were about to leave when Snape stopped them.

"What do you want?" Emily asked, folding her arms.

"Leave, quickly," Snape whispered, before running off.

Remus and Emily looked at each other before they quickly left the train station. 'I wonder what that was all about,' Remus thought as they got into his dads car and drove away.
