Wonder of The damned

Molly's Wonder

~~~Set in early 1981 winter time after an Order meeting~~~

While the Potter's and the Weasley's weren't the closest of families there were occasions when Gideon and Fabin would bring them over to their older sister Molly' house for dinner.

This time Remus and Sirius came along with then and the six of them looked very concerned.

"Do you know what you two are going to do?" Fabin asked Lily and James.

"We're going to wait and think." James says looking at Sirius and Remus. Lily pulled Harry closer at the thought.

"How long do we wait?" Lily asked them. Molly set the food on her table and her two oldest sons Bill and Charlie put the plates and silver wear down.

"Teddy didn't specify." Sirius said.

"There is such a thing as waiting to long Sirius," Remus half-teases half-reminds him with an impish grin. A grin that that just reinforces to everyone what dangerous times they are in.

"Yeah."

Molly watches their exchange with interest. Waiting and Thinking over a solution with waiting making the normally spunky Lily worried like only a good protective mother can. And Teddy, was he one of their new friends? Gideon and Fabin have been hanging around a new crowd Molly didn't know what they were doing but they were her older brothers. They might be mischief makers and a bit to influential on Fred and George but that could only be expected they asked to be the boys god fathers. Molly though it was a great idea. Her older brothers always had a plan for every bump in Molly's road.

"Mummy!" Percy cried from the stairs.

"What is it Perce?" Molly went to her little boy while her brother and their friends talked.

"My book is gone!" Percy wailed.

"Oh hush darling, you had filled it up anyways we'll get you a new one soon."

Percy rested his head on Molly's shoulder listing to her heart beat. "Can it be blue?"

"Of course sweetie." Molly told Percy.

After dinner while Remus and Lily helped take care of dishes Remus looked at Molly with mild interests then said, "August, it'll be August." Lily elbowed him and hissed in his ear. "You should do things like that."

What'll be August?

~~~Several months later 1981 sometime in December~~~

Molly still wondered who their Teddy was who told James and Lily to wait and think was. Which side had he been on? She couldn't ask her brother's they had been killed just days after that visit to her house. and Sirius, a traitor? He was a perfect gentlemen to Molly and her family but it comes with their breeding and he was a Black they were very good at hiding their true motives from anyone. He had seemed a bit close with that odd one, Remus was his name? What had happened to him?

Little Baby Ginny, Molly only girl who had been born in August, howled. The little girl was lucky growing up without a war looming over her head.

~~~Fall 1995~~~

The children had been at school for few days, was it a week yet? Molly was still not use to Grimmuald Place. She could still see the ghost of grandeur she had visited as a child when her mother had called on Walburga with her at the side as a four year old. Molly loved Arthur dearly but sometimes she regretted marrying a man with no money. These were selfish thoughts but Molly had grown up with money and hoped to give her kids at least a little.

"Remember what Teddy said," Molly heard Remus talking in the Kitchen.

Teddy? Molly vaguely remembered the name falling from Sirius's lips long ago and a few times this past summer.

"To wait and think, Rem, Of course I remember what he said what do you think I was doing in Azkaban?"

"You were only there because you didn't think." Remus scolds.

"It's a bit hard to think when I was on my own. Why couldn't I get there a bit earlier before he did? I was fussing with something unimportant."

"This is unimportant Siri," Remus said with finality.

"No, it is important. I hate hiding and keeping something like this under wraps."

"Pads..." Remus says softly.

"What house is Tonks in?" Sirius asked out of the blue.

"I wouldn't know don't want to remember?" Remus tells Sirius.

"I miss him," Sirius says softly.

"I know, love." Remus murmured far below Molly's prying ear shot.

"Everything Teddy said promise so much but at such a price," Sirius said to his cup of coffee.

"We grew up in the middle of a war, he grew up in a time of peace."

"I just wish I could see him just one more time give him something better than forty chocolate frogs. Remember Minerva's face when she went to get us and found the chocolate frog wrappers?"

Remus chuckled. "How could I forget? I was almost expecting a detention slip."

Molly now felt she was invading a privet moment of two old friends and left her mind whirling.

~~~Late April 1998~~~

Molly was making dinner for her family in hiding and the Lupin's were coming over for dinner as well. Well just Nymphadora Tonks now Lupin and her child. The baby was only a few weeks old. Theodore Remus Lupin was what Molly had been told when she asked Andromeda what her grand child's name was.

When Nymphadora had gotten there Molly was busy in the kitchen. Fred, George and Ginny were greeting Nymphadora and her baby with lots of coo's on Ginny's part. Fred and George being twenty-one year old men weren't very interested in the baby and got bored quickly. When Molly finally got a chance to sit and talk to Nymphadora it was after dinner.

"Why couldn't Remus come tonight?" Molly asked.

"Full moon, Molly," Nymphdora said with a smile and adjusted Theadore in her arms.

Molly shook her head there was so much she could forget in times of war.

"Does Theodore-"

"Teddy doesn't take after his father in that respect." Nymphadora confirmed.

"Teddy?"

"Remus started calling him that after I named him."

~~~After May 2, 1998~~~

Molly never really knew who the Teddy, Remus and Sirius spoke of was but sometimes she had her suspicions. She never wanted them to be confirmed or denied if it be she was in the wrong about who she thought he was.
