Chapter 17
"If you choose a time, we can catch the moon
I'll see you there
Whenever it is, from wherever you are
Oh we'll find, yes we'll find somewhere
Are you looking at the same moon?"
It was October, Anne was teaching at Hogwarts after the summer holidays had ended. Severus had been flirting with Anne many times, but she hadn't give in to it. Every night Anne was at home with Sirius, she still couldn't stand to be away from Sirius more than one day.
It was a rainy weekend in October when Sirius thought it would be the right time to tell Anne his suspicions about her, Remus and Will.
"Anne, may I ask you something?"
"Of course!"
"Well, you know about Will, don't you?"
"Yes, why?"
"He's seven years old, which means he's born when I was still in Azkaban," began Sirius.
"Well seen, dear. What's the problem whit it?" replied Anne.
"He's a werewolf, did you know that?"
"The number of times asked Linda me to bring her the Wolfsbane Potion Severus made for them…"
You know the son of a werewolf automatically is a werewolf too, you know that too."
Yes," Anne still didn't understand what Sirius wanted to make clear to her.
"Have you ever noticed he looks like Remus?"
"No, probably you want him to, but I've never noticed, or taken care about noticing it," replied Anne.
"But Remus didn't know Linda yet when I was in Azkaban," said Sirius.
"That's right."
"So there must have been another woman," concluded Sirius.
"If Will's Remus' son."
"Yes. But Will also resembles you a bit," said Sirius.
"What are trying t tell me, Sirius?" replied Anne in a rather dangerous voice.
"That there's a possibility Will's a son of you and Remus."
"He's not. Ask Remus if you don't believe me, but he's not."
"I will," replied Sirius, and immediately stood up.
"Where are you going?" asked Anne.
"To see if there's a pub."
"I'm sorry?"
"Sorry, I've seen Galaxy Quest too much, I'm going to ask Remus," said Sirius.
"No, he's not my son, I've never had a relationship of that kind with Anne," said Remus.
"He's your son!"
"He's not!"
"He's too!"
"He's not!"
"He's too!"
"He's not!"
"He's too!"
"Guys! What's the matter with you?" asked Linda, when she came in.
"Sirius says Will is my biological son and he says Anne's his mother!" said Remus.
"Oh really? Well, I would have seen if she was pregnant," shrugged Linda.
"And Remus says he never was never involved with Anne," added Sirius.
"I think I would have known if she was involved with Remus. She's always telling me everything after all," replied Linda.
"Linda, you don't understand," protested Sirius. "Have you never noticed Will's a werewolf?"
"Yes, I have, every full moon."
"Have you never noticed he looks like Anne?"
"No. I think you're suffering a fever Sirius," said Linda.
"Maybe a Saturday Night Fever, but I don't really suffer it," said Sirius.
"Then use your healthy brains," suggested Linda.
"As far as he has brains," murmured Remus.
"What did you say?" asked Sirius.
"Nothing," lied Remus.
"Very well then. But as you probably know, a son of a werewolf automatically is a werewolf himself," Sirius went on.
"Sirius, I would suggest to go home, let Anne make a hot chocolate for you ad have a good night sleep. We'll talk again later," suggested Remus, while pushing his friend outside.
"But Remus, you don't understand!" protested Sirius.
"No, I don't understand. Now, go home and let your loving wife take good care of you, all right?" said Remus.
"But… but…"
"Sirius, please, do as Remus advises you. It's for you own good," Linda advises.
"Oh well, but I'll be back!" said Sirius.
"If you say that in a horror film, you'll get killed, pal," grinned Remus.
"Whatever…" said Sirius and left.
"Well, how did they react?" asked Anne curiously.
"At first they didn't believe me, later on they kept telling me I'm ill and I should go home and get a hot chocolate and a good night of sleep," said Sirius.
"I agree with both," admitted Anne.
"With both Linda and Remus?"
"Hmm hmm, and specially the hot chocolate and sleeping-part," said Anne with a demonical grin.
"Oh god… I don't trust that look in your eyes. Last time you looked at me that way, we ended up…" but Anne cut Sirius off by pressing her mouth upon his.
"We ended up doing what exactly?" she asked teasingly.
"Making love…" growled Sirius.
"You don't like it then?"
"In the contrary…" answered Sirius, before resuming his attack…
A/N: this is the best spot to end this chapter, before it becomes NC-17, and I wasn't planning on writing NC-17! Not only because it's better for the fic, it's also better for my health….. (last time I wrote a fic that was a bit romantic (and very much slash)people were cursing me. Don't ask me why…..)
