Lupin's Christmas
This tale is the prequel to Lupin's Summer. Thanks to the reviewers of
all my Lupin stories to date! More to come! Keep r/r please!
CHAPTER FOUR: Remus's Family Portrait (This chap's all from Hermione's POV)
"His son?" Hermione had to make sure she hadn't misheard him.
Matthew nodded almost proudly.
"It's just... Remus has never mentioned he had a child..."
"Two, actually." Matthew said very matter-of-factly.
She looked into his silver-blue eyes. There was something of Remus there, she could recognize it in the swirling colours. But he wasn't just Remus's son. Although he had the powerfully strong eyebrows and the straight and proper nose, Matthew Lupin certainly wasn't his father's son. Whoever his mother was, she lived in him too. Hermione could clearly see the spirit of another in this boy.
"Two?"
"Yes," came a deep and recognizably gorgeous voice from behind Hermione.
"Remus's voice is NOT gorgeous!" Hermione tried to correct herself. She had been trying to convince herself she didn't have a crush on Lupin since third year...
Remus embraced his son warmly.
"You're early." He scoffed, breaking off.
"You're late." His son replied.
They smiled weakly and Remus put his hand firmly on his son's shoulder.
"I see you've met Hermione..."
"Yes, a real pleasure!" Matthew answered snatching a look at her.
Hermione was suspicious of that glint in his eye. It was Remus's glint, the one that matched his perfect smile so well. But Matthew didn't have that perfect smile. Hermione couldn't feel anything for Matthew... Could she?
Just a short chapter as I'm kinda sleepy. Now that you guys know that Remus has kids I'll bring them into my Lupin's Summer story. That's why i haven't updated it for so long! :) Keep r/r! And read my other stories please!
