Chapter 5 -

Hermione sat in Remus' office with the girls. She had gotten some muggle crayons and some parchment for the girls to color on. Remus left a few messages for people at the Ministry to find out about the dementors in Hogsmedge. After a few hours the girls went the sleep and Hermione put them on the couch. Remus sat at his desk writing something. Hermione sat in a chair looking at the portraits of the former headmasters that hung in the office.

"Hermione are you ok?" Remus asked.

"I'm fine. Just tired." She said as she walked over to Remus and sat on his lap. Remus smiled and gave her a kiss.

Soon there was a knock at the door. Harry walked into the office.

"I have news." Harry said. "The dementors have been round up by Ministry members and put under control. A few had been persuaded by Malfoy to join him, but the Ministry has it all under control."

"That's great." Remus said.

"Also I got word from Ron that Luna was still under Imperio and was ordered to kill herself last night. He got the news when he showed up at St. Mungos this morning." Harry explained.

"Oh, No." Hermione said.

"Luna's father does not want a funeral so she will be buried privately tomorrow." Harry said. "Well I have to get back because Sirius has a cold and Libby does too."

"Bye." Hermione said.

Harry left the office.

"That is terrible about Luna." Remus said.

"I know, but at least Ron has been somewhat moving on with Cho." Hermione said. "Ughh."

"What's wrong?" Remus asked.

"Baby." Hermione said as she smiled at Remus.

"I've been thinking about naming the baby." Remus said.

"Me too."

"Do you know if it is a girl or boy?" Remus asked.

"No, not yet. I want a boy now."

"I have a name!" Remus said excitedly.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"REMUS!"

"No way we are not naming the baby after you. I like the name Gale."

"Ok Gale what?"

"Gale . . .umm. . .Gale Alexander Lupin."

"That's nice."

They ended up sleeping in Remus' office that night. In the morning Hermione took Jasmine back to Ron who already had Justin. Hermione went to her classroom to set up for her days classes. Hermione set up the desks and took out boxes of mice for her 5th years.

"Mommy!" cried Estelle who walked into her mom's classroom holding her arm.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"Justin pushed me down and I fell down and hurt my arm." Cried Estelle.

"Elle don't cry its ok." Hermione held her little girl.

"What's wrong with daddy's little girl?" Remus asked as he saw his little girl in her mother's arms.

"Justin pushed her." Hermione said as she attempted to pick Estelle up. "Gosh you're heavy."

"Daddy I want some ice cream." Begged Estelle who looked at her dad.

"Not now sweetie, but later when you go to Nanas." Remus said as he picked up Estelle out of his wife's arms.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry walked into his room holding a try, which had a big bowl of hot soup. He walked over to the bed where his wife lay with a runny red nose and blood shot eyes. Libby sat up in bed and forced a thankful smile at Harry. She took the tray from his hands and began to eat the soup.

"C-Ca-Can you che-Check on S-Sir-Sirius." Coughed Libby.

"Ok." Harry said as he walked into the nursery to see his two month old baby Sirius Potter. Sirius had given his mother the cold that he had. "Hey Big boy!" Harry said as he picked up Sirius.

Sirius looked up at his dad and attempted to smile.

"Daddy!" yelled Lily as she ran into the nursery.

"Calm down Lily." Harry said as he put Sirius back into his crib.

"I wanna go play with Estelle. Can I? Can I? Can I?" Lily asked over and over as she jumped up and down.

"Remember you and Estelle are going to her grandma's house?"

"Yeah!" Lily cheered as she jumped around.

"Now it's time for breakfast so let's get James and go to the great hall." Harry said as he picked up Lily.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Venecia walked though the Hogwarts grounds up to the school. It was time for breakfast and students were heading into the great hall. There she spotted her oldest granddaughter Brianna.

"Nana!" Brianna yelled as she ran to her grandmother and gave her a hug.

"Where's your parents?" Venecia asked.

"Right here." Remus said as he walked up with Estelle in her arms and Hermione walking next to him.

"Oh Brianna, Remus, and Hermione how are you?" Venecia said as she gave each of them a kiss on the cheek.

"Fine mother." Remus said as he put Estelle down.

"Nana is me Lily still coming to you house?" Estelle asked.

"Yes of course." Venecia said. "So how's the baby?"

"Fine we are hoping for a boy this time." Hermione said.

"Boys are smelly." Brianna said.

"Hello Mrs. Lupin." Harry said as he walked up with Lily and James by his side.

"Harry so nice to see you." Venecia said. "And Lily are you ready to come over?"

"Yeah." Lily said.

"We better get to breakfast." Hermione said as she led the children into the great hall. Because there were so many children there was another small table added.

Ginny was seating her children at the table when they walked in. Harry went and sat Lily and James at the table before heading back to the teachers table.

"Hello Hermione." Ginny said as she sat Emerald down.

"Hi." Hermione said as she sat down Estelle. Brianna sat next to Sapphire.

"So tonight is the big night?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah we'll know if the potion works on Remus. We are actually excited. To make sure the night runs smoothly we are sending Estelle to stay with Venecia and Remus' sister Jessica is coming to get Brianna."

"So it will just be you and Remus?" Ginny asked.

"Yep." Hermione said. "I so hope this works."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After breakfast Venecia took Estelle and Lily to her house. Remus sat on the couch most of the day. When Hermione finished her last class before lunch she went to go see how he was doing. She walked in to hear gagging coming from the bathroom. Remus was in the bathroom throwing up.

"Remus honey." Hermione rushed over to him and held him.

"I'm fine Hermione. It happens every transformation day, you know that." Remus said.

"I know, but I still worry." Hermione said as she ran her fingers though his soft hair.

"Did you have any wolfsbane today?" Hermione asked.

"Yes." Remus said. "Jessica came about an hour ago to get Brianna."

"Ok well I was going to lunch, but I'm going to stay with you." Hermione said as she walked out the bathroom to go and have a house-elf bring lunch.

"I'm not hungry." Remus said as he followed Hermione out the bathroom.

"You have to eat something." Hermione said as she walked to the fireplace and threw in some floo powder. "Hogwarts Kitchens." Hermione yelled.

A small house-elf appeared at the fireplace. It was Twinkle the daughter of Winky and Dobby. "Yes Miss."

"Can you bring two sandwiches to me please." Hermione said.

"Yes Miss right away." Twinkle said before disappearing and then re- appearing in the room holding a tray of sandwiches. Twinkle sat the tray down and disappeared.

"Hermione really I'm not hungry." Remus said as he sat on the couch and picked up a book.

"Whatever you say." Hermione said as she picked up a sandwich and sat on the couch next to Remus.

Hermione leaned against Remus sand gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled at her before going back to his book. Hermione loved Remus' sent. It was something that you couldn't buy. There was a hint of ginger, the scent from after a nice spring rain, a windy fall day, and fresh baked cookies. She snuggled her face up against his robes. He draped his arm around her shoulder.

"I love you." Remus said.

"I love you." Hermione said.

They sat that way for a while before Hermione got up to go to her appointment about the baby. After she walked back to find Remus asleep on the couch. She sat next to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before falling asleep Hermione.

"Hermione wake up." Remus said as he nudged Hermione awake.

"Huh." Hermione was struggling to open her eyes.

"It's almost time." Remus said.

"Oh ok. I'm up." Hermione said as she got up and walked with Remus down to the grounds. Severus was all ready waiting. They all walked into the shrieking shack though the passage in the Willow. Hermione sat in a chair near the bed that Remus lay on. Severus stood near the doorway.

"How you feeling?" Hermione asked.

"Great actually." Remus said as he looked at his wife she sat looking worried.

Soon Hermione fell asleep on the chair. At about 2 in the morning she was awoken by a smiling Remus.

"It worked." Remus said as she picked up Hermione and swung her around.

"It worked?" Hermione asked.

"YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!" Shouted Remus as he continued to spin around with Hermione in his arms.
