Chapter 26
"Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on"
"Well... we... er... er…" stammered Rachel, turning bright pink.
"Yes?" pushed Remus, noticing Harry turning red also.
"We had…" said Harry.
"Why do you blush so heavily then?" asked Anne, making Rachel and Harry even redder.
"Do I?" asked Rachel. "Oh… well… we… er… mum, why are you asking that?"
"Because Linda had been to your room twice…"
"No, she hasn't!"
"She had. And she… er… decided it might be better not to disturb the two of you, because she thought you were having fun," said Anne.
"Oh…" Harry said, now turning almost too red…
"Now, if you two cooled down, it's not a shame, you know. If human beings would skip actions like that one, we would have died away," said Sirius.
"Would we?"
"Yes, of course! I thought you knew…"
"I… I did know, but… ow, never mind!"
A few days later…
"Anne, did I already tell you Remus and I received the official papers of Will?" asked Linda, when she and Remus were at the Black's.
"No. But what's so important about it then?"
"Here, read it," answered Linda, giving Anne some papers.
"No… Name: William Severus Snape? Does Severus know this?" asked Sirius, who was reading over Anne's shoulder.
"He does know… we went to him to tell him. You knew Will's a werewolf, don't you?" asked Remus.
'Yes, you already told is."
"Good. Well, this is what he told us: once Severus was married with a four-years-younger woman. She got pregnant of him and Will was born. But two weeks later, his wife died. Severus – being a Death Eater at that time – couldn't take care of the boy, and brought the boy to an orphanage. There he lived for six years, until we adopted him. You know Severus hated me, because I'm a werewolf, and his own son was bitten by a werewolf too… Severus has been seeing his son in that orphanage, but always told him he was his uncle. So Will will be at Severus' many times now," said Remus.
"Wait a minute Remus, Severus' Harry and Draco Malloy's father too, right?" asked Anne.
"Right," answered Remus.
'Lily Evans' the mother?"
"Yes."
"When did she die?"
"One year after Draco was born."
"I see…" answered Anne.
"You should know that, you've been his lover quite a long time," replied Remus.
"Only four years," answered Anne. "And you know why we broke up. I hope I don't have to repeat that again?"
"No you don't."
"Oh god, Harry had a half-brother, do you realise that, Linda?" said Sirius.
"Yes, I already did."
"Hey Remus, do you remember we were once talking about having a holiday with the four of us?" said Sirius, changing the subject.
"Now you mention it… ladies, what do you think of a weekend London for four?' suggested Remus.
"Great idea! With a big whirlpool in the room for four persons!" said Anne.
"No way, I won't share a whirlpool with Remus!" said Sirius.
"I agree. I think we must take two rooms for two persons in a Muggle-hotel!" said Remus.
"What about the children?" asked Remus.
"I think Will would love it to be with Severus, and we an ask Harry and Rachel to take care of the other four," said Anne.
"Alright. When do you wan to go?" asked Remus.
"Let's see… I think that'll be next month… no, then it's full moon… two… no… three… make that four months," said Sirius.
"Then it's Christmas… five months is maybe a better idea," said Linda.
"Yes, five and a half month…" said Anne.
"Hey, I know a nice hotel in London. I've lives near it," said Sirius. "It's really nice hotel. A bit Titanic-like."
"Titanic?" asked Remus.
"Have you never heard of that ship?" asked Anne, unbelievingly.
"No. Do I have to then?'
"Yes, especially when you're married to a woman who knows everything about it," said Anne.
"Oh…"
"Yes, the titanic was a ship that was the biggest on the world when they built it in 1912. Unfortunately, it met a piece of ice in an ocean and sunk," said Linda.
"It just met a piece of ice" asked Anne.
Yep. But they weren't having fun, I can assure you!" said Linda.
"Wait, are we talking about the same Titanic as we were talking about, once at Hogwarts? With that piece of parchment faring against my hand?" asked Remus.
"Yes," answered Sirius.
"Then I know what you're talking about. But… what did that ship look like then?" asked Remus.
Anne and Linda looked at each other, nodded, and yelled: "it's movie-time!"
"Movie-time?" repeated Remus.
"Yes, they made a film of the Titanic-disaster. Then you can see what the titanic looked like," explained Anne.
"I do not want to witness this…"
"Neither would I, but I want to know what kind of hotel we're going. Anne. Linda, bring t on!" said Remus.
"You asked for it…"
