Chapter Nine
The ride to Kings Cross was over quickly. Peter took the bus home and Kate, Jen, and Lily went home with their respective parents. Remus was looking around for his father while Sirius looked for his mom.
"There he is, Als," Remus said. "Oh shit..."
"What is it, Remus?" Ally, James, and Sirius asked in unison.
"It's Eddie," said Remus. "He's talking with my dad."
"*What*?" The three turned to see that Remus' words were true.
"What the fuck is he doing here?" said Ally. "I didn't write the bastard, why is he here?"
"I dunno," said James. "Als, what're you gonna do?"
"Walk up to him and say more or less what I just said to you," Ally said, starting to walk over to Eddie and Remus' dad, Jake Lupin. Jake the exact same features as Remus except he was taller and his eyes didn't hold that same tired look that Remus got from being a werewolf.
"Hey, Ally," Eddie said as he saw her approaching with the three boys in tow. "Hello, Remus. And who are you two boys?"
"Cut the crap," Ally said. "Come over here a second." She led him a little ways away from the boys and Mr. Lupin. "Why the hell are you here?" Ally demanded.
"Because it's Christmas and kids come home on Christmas," Eddie said.
"I didn't write you," Ally said. "How the fuck did you know I was coming?"
"Watch your-"
"No, answer my damn question."
Eddie sighed.
"I guess you could call it fatherly instinct," he said.
"I'm not going home with you," said Ally. "I'm spending Christmas with the Lupins."
"No, Ally, you're gonna come home for Christmas and spend it with me because I am one of the only people you have left in the family."
"My family is over there," she said, pointing to Remus, Sirius, James, and Mr. Lupin. "Mr. Lupin has been more of a father to me than *you* and I don't even see him too much. Only when I go to their house during breaks. Now listen, I want you to walk out of this station and not look back at me."
"No, Ally. You are coming home."
"You don't get it, do you? Your house is not my home!"
"Yes it is, young lady."
"Why do you care so much now, huh? It's not like I've mattered to you for the passed SIX YEARS!"
"Ally, I have cared, it's just that-"
"There is no excuse for not writing to me," said Ally. "And Remus was right, I might just have hated you a little less if you would have just written me a letter."
"Ally-"
"Just leave, Eddie, get out of my life!"
"Go and get your trunk, we will talk at home."
"I have already told you, your house is *not* my home!" Ally said.
"Yes it is, and it's the only home you have, so get in my car and we will go to it."
"No!"
"Allison Tuksan, get your trunk and get your ass in that car."
Ally gave him a look. She walked over to Remus, James, Sirius, Mr. Lupin, and Mrs. Black, who had arrived during Ally's little conversation with her dad.
"Hello, Mrs. B," she said pleasantly.
"Hello, Ally dear," Mrs. Rachel Black said. "Well, we must be going, good-bye, Jake, it was nice seeing you. Good-bye, Remus, Ally."
"Bye, Rachel," said the three mentioned above.
James and Sirius both hugged Ally before they left with Sirius' mom.
"Ready?" Mr. Lupin asked.
"Just one sec, Mr. Lupin," said Ally. "Rem, can I talk to you for a second?"
Remus and Ally walked away a bit. Remus turned to her.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"That *bastard* wants me to go with him to my 'home'." She made little quotation marks with her fingers. "Re, I can't go back with him."
"I don't know what to tell you, Als," said Remus. "I think you're gonna have to.... I'm sorry."
"Isn't there anyway you can think of to get me out of it?" Ally asked frantically. Remus sadly shook his head. "I can't survive two weeks with that man, Remus, I hate him too much."
"Listen, Als, you have to go with him for now," Remus said. "I'll think of someway to go and get you, alright?" Ally looked like she was ready to cry and it was breaking Remus' heart. "I promise I will think of someway to kidnap you, okay?"
Ally laughed.
"Good way to put it."
"I thought so," Remus said, smiling. "I'll owl you tonight. Don't unpack, alright?"
"Okay."
Remus leaned in and kissed her.
"Love you," he said.
"Love you more," she replied and they parted ways.
"I thought Ally was coming for Christmas," Mr. Lupin said as he and his son watched Ally and Eddie walk away.
"Oh, she'll be at our house before Christmas, she's just going home for now."
"Oh, alrighty then."
Ally put her stuff in the trunk of the car and got into the backseat. Eddie turned right around and slapped her in the face.
"You *never* talk to your dad like that, be it in front of people or not," he said. "You live with me, I am your dad, and my house *is* your home, understand?"
"You are *NOT* my dad," Ally said through gritted teeth. "My dad was murdered by an evil overlord. My dad's name was Jay Summers. You are not my dad. You may be my *father*, but you will never again be my *dad*. 'Dad' is a special word for someone who acts like a dad, not for people like *you*." Eddie looked more hurt than mad at Ally's little statement, but she didn't give two shits about that. "Just drive to your house and leave me alone."
Ally then took her diskman and her headphones out of her backpack and put in Blink 182's The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show. Eddie turned around and drove home like she said.
Meanwhile, James was busy worrying about something like that happening. When he hugged Ally, he whispered to her to owl him if anything went wrong. He knew that, be it an emotional blow or a physical one, Ally would get Eddie good, but he wanted to know if *she* was okay.
(A/N: Please tolerate all of the Ally/Remus stuff even though this is a James/Lily story. It'll be over soon.)
"James, you're gonna wear a path in my carpet," Sirius said from behind his Quidditch magazine.
"Sorry," James said, sitting down on his bed. He sighed and laid down to look at the ceiling.
"Don't worry, she'll owl if there's something wrong," Sirius said.
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Calm yourself, Jamesie," Sirius said.
"Don't call me Jamesie, Sirius," James said grumpily.
"Whatever you say, Jamie."
"SIRIUS!"
"Okay, okay, James."
(A/N: Wow, that section was pointless...NO, WAIT! It shows that James is worried about her...good...)
When they arrived home, Ally went straight up to the room she and Remus had occupied the last time she was there and locked Eddie out. He, of course, stood outside of the door, yelling, "Let me in this instant, Ally!" So she turned the radio on and tuned him out.
*How dare he make me come back here,* she thought as the lyrics and chords of Brandnew blared.
She flipped her trunk open and took out a piece of parchment, a bottle of ink, and a quill.
*Dear James and Sirius,
James, I HATE him SO much! I can't STAND him! I really wish you were here to keep me company...you too, Siri, I know you're reading over his shoulder! Remus says he's going to find a way to 'kidnap' me. I hope he can come up with something quickly, because Eddie is trying to break my door down.
And guess what else...the son of a bitch slapped me! He has the nerve to act like my dad when he hasn't even been there for me all this time. I'm probably ranting right now, sorry.
HE IS AN ASS HOLE! I AM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD RIGHT NOW!
He had better hope Remus comes before I can find any lethally sharp objects!
Love you mucho!
-Ally*
"OWL!" Sirius yelled, hoping up and opening the window in the room he and James shared.
"Geez, Padfoot, calm your ass down!" said James.
"It's from Ally," said Sirius.
James took the letter and read it, Sirius reading over his shoulder.
"He did *what*?" James gasped when he read the part about Eddie slapping Ally.
"I'll kill the bastard!"
"Not if I get to him first, Padfoot!" James growled.
"Write her back," Sirius said, handing James some parchment and a quill with ink.
"No," said James. "I'm gonna write to Moony."
After Remus ate dinner, he went up to his room and closed the door.
"I have to think of something to do. I can't just go there and knock on the front door...or can I?"
At that moment, an owl tapped on his window.
"Hey there, Raffy."
Remus opened the letter, expecting it to be from Ally. Instead he recognized the handwriting as James'.
*Dear Moony,
The attached letter is from Ally to me and Padfoot. She's not in the best mood as you can tell by reading it. She mentioned that you were going to 'kidnap' her. Me and Padfoot want to help...we're already bored! Write us back quickly!
-Prongs and Padfoot*
Remus then read the letter that Ally had sent to James and got really mad really quickly.
*Prongs and Padfoot,
Floo to my house when you get this.
-Moony*
"I'm assuming you have a plan," Sirius said, "because traveling by Floo Powder makes me sick and you know it."
"Yes, I do," said Remus. "Bobby is gonna take us out to Ally's and he's..."
(A/N: Should I stop? Maybe a little more...)
Bobby Lupin knocked on the door of Eddie Tuksan's house.
Luckily, Bobby didn't look like his father and brother. He looked more like his mother, with his reddish-brown hair and his dark colored eyes.
"Can I help you?" Eddie asked as he opened the door.
"Yes, sir, I'm conducting a short survey," Bobby said, shaking Eddie's hand. "If you could just give me a few moments of your time, it will make your neighborhood a better one."
"Yeah, sure, why not?"
While Bobby started asking Eddie questions, Remus and James were climbing a ladder up to Ally's window while Sirius held it steady on the bottom. Remus tapped on the window causing Ally to look up. Her face brightened considerably when she saw him.
She jumped up and let the two boys in.
"Re, James!" She hugged the both of them.
"Als, is everything in your trunk?" James asked.
Ally nodded.
"Okay, climb down, Sirius is down there," Remus instructed her.
"Oh no, I'm being kidnapped!" Ally joked.
The boys chuckled and Ally climbed out of the window.
Remus used the levitating charm to lower the trunk down to Sirius outside before he and James climbed out of the window, James with Raffy's cage.
"How did you guys get here?" Ally asked.
"Bobby," Sirius said.
"Yeah," Remus said, "he's taking a survey with Eddie right now."
Ally smiled amusedly.
"Lets go," James said, "Bobby should be wrapping it up soon."
They all went to the side of the house.
"Thank you very much, sir," Bobby was saying to Eddie. "Most people would slam the door in my face."
"No problem, have a good one."
"You two, sir."
Bobby started walking to his car and Eddie went back inside. When they heard his heavy footfalls on the steps, James, Sirius, and Remus picked the trunk up and got it to the car as fast as they could. Ally followed them with Raffy's cage.
Bobby took off as soon as the doors were all shut.
"I'm sure what we just did is illegal in a few different ways," he said.
Ally smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks a bunch, Bob," she said.
"No problem, kid," Bobby said. "It was exciting."
"Merlin! I've forgotten how stupid that man is, Als," James exclaimed.
The others laughed.
