~*~Anne Zwarts~*~
Chapter 24
"I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is, now you're in the world"
"Rachel, I heard you seem to like Harry," said Linda. "Is that so?"
Rachel turned a bit pink when she heard this, she quickly looked at Harry, who looked away, also blushing.
"Who… who told you that?" asked Rachel.
"No-one. I was just curious. I mean, the two of you are getting on well together," said Linda.
"And the two of you were turning deeply red when Linda said you seemed to like each other," added Sirius sarcastically. Anne shot an angry look at her husband.
"What?" said Sirius.
"Nothing… just nothing," replied Anne. "Does someone want to have a drink?"
"Well, I wouldn't say no to a nice cup of coffee," said Rachel.
"So you're also drinking too much coffee, just like your mother?" said Linda.
"Hey, I don't drink too much coffee. I just drink a few cup a day, that's all!" said Anne, a bit irritated.
"I must admit that you're drinking less coffee than we were still at school, but…"
"Yes, yes, I got your point. Anyone else something to drink?"'
"Do you have a whisky?" asked Remus.
"I thought you didn't like whisky?" said Sirius.
"At first I didn't, but now I like it," answered Remus. Anne sighed.
"Well, I think I'd better say: if anyone wants something to drink; it's all in the kitchen and cellar." Rachel and Harry went away to the house to 'get something to drink', as they said. Of course Sirius, Anne, Remus and Linda did not believe that.
"So, what do you suggest we're doing with then?" asked Sirius.
"Let them inside there for another hour, and you'll get grandchildren, Sirius!" said Remus.
"It won't be that bad," answered Anne.
"Said the one who got a baby on her nineteenth…" said Linda.
"Oh, it would be ironic if she got pregnant so soon…" said Sirius.
"Who's pregnant?" asked Rachel, who just came back, closely followed by Harry, both carrying drinks.
"No-one," said Anne. "Yet…"
"Hey Harry, what do you think of Rachel?" asked Linda suddenly.
"I like her," answered he. "Why?"
"Just being curious," said Linda.
"Oh really?" Harry knew she wouldn't ask him this out of curiosity.
"Harry, you're single for a few year now. Linda just wants to…" said Remus, but Sirius didn't let him finish his sentence.
"Linda is hoping you really like each other," said he.
"Actually, she wants to act as a cupid," said Anne, but she quickly ducked under the table to avoid whatever Linda was throwing at her. "If you say it isn't true, you're lying, Linda!"
"Rachel, what do you think of Harry?" Sirius asked his daughter.
"I like him too…" answered she.
"I think we have to let them date," suggested Linda.
"Good idea. I think we have to send them to the cinema. Very romantic," said Anne.
"No, they've got to go to the theatre!" said Remus.
"Bad idea, in the theatre they can disturb the rest of the audience," said Sirius. "A pop-concert is a better idea, I think."
"But that's not romantic. I think they've got to go to the cinema," replied Anne.
"I think we're going nowhere," said Harry suddenly.
"So you admit you and Rachel know you're in love with each other?" asked Anne. Rachel and Harry turned both deeply red.
"Well… we… er…" stammered Rachel.
"Yes?"
"Well… today at Hogwarts Harry and I have been talking and… er…" stammered Rachel.
"And kissing," added Anne.
"How do you know??!" said Harry and Rachel simultaneously.
"Because I saw you," smiled Anne. "And I am happy for you."
"Oh…" Rachel bowed close to Harry and whispered something in his ear. Harry nodded and the two of them got to their feet and wanted to go away.
"Where are you going?" asked Sirius.
"I'm going to show him my room," answered Rachel.
"Okay." Rachel and Harry walked away.
"I don't want to know what they're going to do," said Linda.
"Neither do I," said Sirius.
"Knowing it are Severus' son and your daughter…" said Remus.
"I'm sure they know how to use a condom…" said Anne.
"Did you when you and Sirius first slept together?" asked Linda.
"What do you think?"
"I guess not, otherwise Rachel wouldn't have been born," shrugged Linda.
"Of course we knew how to use a condom!" said Anne irritated. "But we didn't use one!!!"
"Sorry! Sheesh, think about your blood pressure!" said Linda.
"Mum, what's a condom?" asked Alex.
"You'll get to know when you're older. Now, go on playing with your little brother, alright?" said Anne, who was very pissed off.
AN: this fict is going the wrong way, I think I'm afraid I've lost control over the characters… I hope I can get them back under my control when I'm writing further…. Keep on hoping…
