Chapter Ten
"So, what are we going to do about Lupin?" Todd asked Lily as they sat on the couch in the Gryffindor Common Room. It was about 3:00 a.m. and they had been having trouble sleeping.
"Well... I think we should do something that we can't get blamed for. Something that can't be traced back to us." Lily pondered before an idea popped into her head. "Uncle Fred and George should be able to help!" she stated.
"But we should tell them that we're having trouble with some Slytherins instead or they might not help us." Todd sat up in his seat and looked over at his sister. "What do you think?" he asked her.
"It may work... But Uncle Fred and George are older than us and they know Mum, so they probably know Uncle Siri... and if he sees what we do to Lupin... He'll tell Mum." Lily blew that idea out of water.
"What about... Don't you know any advance charms?" Todd asked Lily.
"Of course. But they're only advanced trick... charms... Brilliant!" Lily smiled widely at her brother before they started planning.
An hour or so later they knew what they were going to do to their Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. Most especially, they knew how to not get blamed by said professor if he decided to point fingers.
"You know Mum's not going to be here today, right?" Todd asked Lily, who began to look guilty.
"Yeah. I know." she said. She looked at her brother and let out a weak smile. "We might as well get some sleep since we have classes tomorrow... I don't think we should do this right away... Perhaps we may change our mind about this." she suggested.
"Alright. If... In two months we decide we like Lupin we won't prank him." Todd nodded in agreement.
"I doubt we will though." Lily shrugged before heading upstairs.
Todd looked at the fire. He knew there was something about Lupin... Something very familiar, actually. He didn't want to worry Lily though so he didn't bring it up.
Todd shook his head and stood up. He then headed to the staircase and went to the Boy's Dormatory so he could go to bed.

Harry watched Cami as she slept silently in her bed. She looked so peaceful, but he couldn't help but feel as though something was wrong. He felt as though someone out there was planning something.
Harry sighed as he went and sat down on the couch in his living room of the chambers that Albus had given him. He reached over and grabbed a picture that was on the coffee table and stared at it. It was his and Remus' wedding day. That was a day he would never forget. It was so beautiful and so hectic. They were both so nervous it wasn't even funny... well... Of course Sirius found it funny but he was the only one who did.

"Sirius! This is not funny!" Harry yelled at his Godfather as he laughed at him. He was so nervous at this moment that Sirius' laughing wasn't helping any.
"Oh calm down Harry. You're just getting married." Sirius informed him.
"I know I'm getting married! It's not everyday I get married Sirius!" Harry smacked Sirius on the arm as he said this.
"Ow! Okay, stop hitting me... You look very handsome." Sirius assured him.
"Thank you." Harry smiled at him. "I wonder how Remus is doing." Harry gave a small laugh.
"He's probably worse off than you are." Sirius assured him.
"Don't tell me that." he laughed.
:An hour later:
"Do you Remus Lupin take Harry Potter as your lawfully wedded husband?" Albus asked Remus, who stood, while fidgeting, across from Harry.
"I do." Remus smiled.
"Sirius, the rings." Albus turned to Sirius who was supposed to have the rings.
Sirius dug into his pockets.
"Wait, I know there here somewhere." Sirius held up a hand before continuing his search.
Remus smacked his forehead and Harry could see Molly Weasley was starting to turn red and was restraining from shouting at Sirius.
"Hold up." Sirius stated as he continued to look for the two rings.
Albus began to laugh and finally Molly started yelling at Sirius.
"Sirius Black! How could you lose the rings on the day of the wedding?" Molly yelled at Sirius.
"I'll find them!" Sirius yelled back as he continued to look.
Finally after 10 or so minutes Sirius finally pulled the rings out of one of his pockets.
"Okay, here they are." he handed them to Albus.
They finished the ceremony and Remus and Harry kissed as they ignored Sirius and Molly shouting about responsibility.
End Flashback
Harry sniffed as he wiped a tear from his eye. That was one of the happiest moments in his life and now it might have not even have been worth happening.

Remus couldn't help but look at the moon that night. It looked almost full and he knew the full moon was near. At that moment tears were rolling down his cheeks. He didn't know if he had a chance to be back with his family. He didn't even know if they'd accept him as he had rejected one of them.
"Please... Let everything go back to normal and let us be a happy family." Remus whispered as he reached up to wipe the continuous flow of tears. He paused and looked up at the moon. "I just want them to be happy. Whether I'm there or not. Just let them be happy." he looked over at his bedside table.
On the bedside table there was a picture of him and Harry holding the triplets. It was about two weeks after they were born and Sirius wanted to take a picture of the 'happy' family.
"Please forgive me." he mumbled as he took the picture and held it to his chest.
'I'm sorry.' the Wolf thought.
