Chapter 23

"And all at once I lost my breath

And al at once was scared to death

And all at once I own the earth and sky"

"Are you serious?" said Sirius when he heard the news about his daughter from Anne.

"Yes, I've recognised them. But no worry, we are trying to bring them together tonight anyway! Were Linda and Remus planning on bringing the children it them or not?" asked Anne.

"Remus was talking about Linda's parents having them to sleep there. So I suppose that they're at her parent's, all three of the," answered Sirius.

"OK, I think I'm getting the tables and chairs ready." Anne walked to the back yard, she was looking in all pockets of her robes, but couldn't find her wand.

"I must've got it somewhere," she muttered. But she couldn't find it anywhere. She thought she knew where it could be…. "Of course, it's still on my desk…"

"Anne, were you looking for this?" asked Sirius, who just came outside with Anne's wand in his hand. Anne took the wand and recognised it as hers.

"Yes, where was it?"

"On the table in the kitchen," said Sirius. "You're a bit forgetful lately, aren't you?"

"You don't see your daughter every day hugging the Godson of your husband, who also is the father of your daughter…"

"That's true."

At that moment the doorbell rang, Sirius went to the door and saw Harry standing there.

"Since when are you ringing the bell?"

"Since I left my key at home, because I was away with Anne," answered Harry.

"Where's Rachel?" asked Sirius.

"She's already home," said Anne, who was standing behind Sirius.

"Oh…" said Sirius.

"I heard my name?" asked Rachel, who was standing at the stairway.

"No, it's alright!" said Sirius. Rachel shrugged and went back to her room.

"May I enter today, Sirius?" Harry asked his Godfather.

"Oh… yes, of course!" answered Sirius, quickly stepping aside.

Anne occupied herself again with the tables and chairs in the garden, when she heard two popping noises behind her. She turned around and saw Remus and Linda had arrived.

"Hi Linda! Hi Remus! I've got something to tell you!" said Anne.

"Something nice?" asked Linda.

"Yes," said Anne, she looked around her to see if there was someone, but they were alone. "Today at Hogwarts I looked out of the window, and saw Rachel and Harry standing together…"

"Talking?"

"No, kissing."

"So we were right?" asked Remus. Anne nodded.

"I think we have to act if we want to get them together, tonight. Don't you think so?" asked Linda.

"Seems a good idea, but don't let them think we already know more about what they think of each other," said Anne. At that moment Sirius came to them.

"I've told them," said Anne.

"What?" asked Harry, he was walking behind his Godfather

"Something between Linda, Remus, Sirius and myself," said Anne quickly.

Rachel was also behind Sirius, and she didn't believe what her mother just said. But she decided not to mention it. Then Rachel saw Remus.

"Professor Lupin? Is that you?" she asked. Remus smiled when she spoke to him that way.

"Yes, it's me."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm a good friend of S… your parents. I once was in the same class as your parents, Harry's parents and Professor Snape. You can call me just Remus now. I'm not your teacher anymore. Actually, I've only been teaching one year," answered Remus.

"I was in my fifth year when you taught me. When you had left, there was a story going on about you being a werewolf… Is that… Was that true?" asked Rachel uncertain.

"Well… actually… yes, it was true. And I am still a werewolf," said Remus.

"Oh…" Rachel looked at Linda. "And who are you?" she asked Linda politely.

"I am Linda. I am married to Remus. At Hogwarts I was also in the same year as Remus and his friends."

"Do you have any children?"

"Yes, two daughters, Luna and Stella. They are the same age as your little brothers. We also adopted a boy, Will, he's now seven years old," said Linda. Linda saw Rachel looking for the children. "But now they are at my parent's."

"Shall we sit down at the table instead of standing here?" suggested Sirius.

"Alright, then I'll get Alex and Chris. They are playing inside now," said Anne, and she walked back to the house. The others sat down at the table.
