Chapter 18

"Next door to happiness lives sorrow

And signals a solution in the sky"

"Remus, Sirius made me think, do you know that?" asked Linda.

"Thinking about what?"

"About you… and Will… and Anne. You know, I should talk to her, she appeared to have had a baby when she was 18 too…. She never told me that too…" said

Linda.

"Anne and I were never involved with each other," protested Remus.

"Well, I still want to talk to you and Anne, with a Truth Potion," pushed Linda. Oh great, then Severus will know about it too, and Dumbledore probably too… Remus thought.

"Are you sure, Linda?" asked Remus.

"Yes, Anne's at Hogwarts now, we'll get Sirius and ask Severus to help us, and we might better fetch Dumbledore too," said Linda.

"Dumbledore isn't necessary, he doesn't have to know," argued Remus.

"Why?" asked Linda.

"Because this is something between us, and Sirius, Anne and Severus."

"And Will."

"He doesn't have to know this," said Remus. "I'm not his biological father, I'm sure of that."

"I hope you're right."

Later that day, at Hogwarts

"Remus, Linda, we better question Remus first, and then we catch Anne if Remus' answers don't clear it up enough," pleaded Sirius.

"Alright then. Severus, have you got the Potion ready?" asked Linda, while holding the hand of a rather nervous Remus.

"Yes," said Severus.

"Well, good luck Remus," said Sirius. He got a chair and sat down opposite Remus. Severus handed Remus a fuming goblet of Truth Potion, Remus took it, exhaled deeply and drank it in one gulp. He pulled a face and handed the goblet back to Severus.

"Ready?" asked Sirius after a while.

"Yes," answered Remus.

"Very well, let's begin with easy questions," began Linda. "You are a werewolf, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"You adopted a boy, what's his name?"

"William."

"Good, then the harder and more personal questions are coming," Sirius warned him. "Are you sure you're ready?"

Remus looked down his hands, closed his eyes and said: "Yes, I am."

"Alright. Do you have another biological child, except for Luna and Stella?" asked Sirius.

"Not as far as I know," answered Remus.

"What do you mean with that?" asked Sirius curiously.

"Because I wasn't virgin anymore when I met Linda," admitted Remus.

"What??!" yelled Linda. "You've been lying to me all the time?"

"No love," answered Remus. "I only hid the truth for you."

"That's the same as lying, to me!" yelled Linda. She jumped forward to hit Remus, but Sirius just caught her in time.

"Relax, Linda. Relax," said Sirius and helped Linda sit back down again.

"Ready to continue?" asked Sirius, Linda just nodded in response.

"Good, next question. Remus, you've been involved with someone else before you met Linda, I understand?" Sirius went on.

"Yes," admitted Remus.

"Someone we know?" informed Sirius.

"Oh yes, you all know her quite well."

"Then tell me, who is she?" asked Sirius.

A/N: I'm growing to evil to write normal fanficts! I like teasing you guys, from time to time! But I don't think you'll be too surprised when you read Remus' answer. But still, I like to know who you think he was involved with, and I won't post the next chapter until one of you has mentioned a name of the woman who was involved with Remus, before he met Linda!
