Remus stirred on the couch. He warily opened his eyes and saw two bright
green eyes looking straight at him.
"Augh!" He yelped while falling off the couch, causing an orange cat to fall off too.
"I see Ginger woke you up!" Nikki said, shoving a spoon full of cereal into her mouth.
"What time is it?" He asked, trying to find his balance.
"It's eight. Mommy called and said that she'd be back by lunch 'cause we have to get ready for the ball. Are you coming?" She asked before feeding herself again.
"I don't know......"
"Please. Please, please, please, please. Please, please, please, please..."
"If I come will you stop?"
"Maybe," She grinned.
"If I'm feeling up to it," he told her sternly as he went to get himself some cereal.
"Lé Anna's going to be there." She said suddenly causing Remus to drop the milk carton.
"Really?" He asked trying to hide his face that was red from blushing.
"Yeah, so you're coming, because you want to see her, because you want to marry her, because you love her right?"
"What gave you an idea like that?"
"Mommy did." She said simply. Remus whirled around and glared at her. Nikki noticed him and put on a big, cheesy smile. "Am I right?"
"Yes, you're right honey." Daemon said as she came out of the Living Room. "Good Morning."
"Hi Mommy. How's Daddy?" Nikki asked right away.
"He's alive." She smirked. "So you're coming to the ball tonight to see your 'dear Lé Anna'?"
".. ... Yes." He said meekly as he made his way to the fire place. "I'll be here at seven."
"Bye Remus." Nikki called as he disappeared into the fire.
``````````````````
At seven o'clock Remus came out of the fire place and made his way to the vast dining room down the hall. Everything thing in there was white if you exclude the staircase that lead to the room where the younger people were. Remus started to scan the room, Daemon was talking with Cornelius Fudge, Arthur Weasley and his wife was talking with someone from his department and everyone else was dancing.
"Where is she?" He asked himself when he spotted her. She was standing by the punch bowl wearing a red dress robe and looking stunning with her golden blonde hair in a fancy bun. He started to make his way over to her.
"Hi Lé Anna." He said as he got to the other side of the room.
"I'm so insulted Remus." She busted out. "You think that I'm Lé Anna?"
Remus looked in to her chocolate brown eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry Lisa. I thought that you were .."
"If you say my sister I'll have to bite you." She said as she got herself more punch. "So what's new with you?"
"I've narrowly avoided being bitten. How about you?" He asked as he got himself some punch.
"I'm working in the department of Muggle technology. It's getting pretty fun. I just starting working on a computer now it's a little slow but it's evolving."
"I see." He said before he took a sip of his drink. "Why didn't Lé Anna come?"
"She has a cold." She said as something fell down the stairs. Every head in the room turned to see Nikki and a blonde haired boy tumble down the stairs.
"Nikki!" Daemon screeched.
"Draco" Lucious Malfoy said as he strolled over to help to pry the two apart. Remus walked over like the rest of the people to see what was happening. Draco seemed to have Nikki in a head lock and she seemed to be biting his arm.
"What is the meaning of this Nikki? You know better then to bite someone in the arm." Daemon snapped.
"He started it mom. He called me a ..." She protested.
"A What?" She asked impatiently
"It rhymes with 'disaster' and starts with a 'B'" She said quietly but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Draco did you call her that?" Lucious asked seizing his arm.
"Yes," he replied meekly.
"Me and your mother did not raise you in that sort of manner. Now you apologies this instant" He commanded.
"I'm sorry that I called you that."
"I'm sorry that I didn't bite your arm off when I bit you."
"Nikki.. " Daemon warned sternly.
"Now, now Daemon it's nothing to worry about." Lucious said soothingly. "Some children are just rude. She gets that from her father and you."
Daemon hung her head, raised her eyebrows and breathe through her teeth. "You're dead!" She announced while plunging in to him and biting his arm as he put her in a head lock.
```````````
"I can't believe you Daemon," Remus said as he helped her carry the dishes to the kitchen. "It's not like you to act up like that in public."
"You heard what his called Nikki. Now can you tell me that you weren't the least bit offended by that and if he insulted you that you would not be filled with rage that you can not control?" She asked him as she set the dishes on to the counter with a clunk.
Remus stared into her eyes and put his dishes on to the table beside him. "You're right. Nikki isn't mine but I would be ready to hurt him."
"Not hurt; kill" She corrected.
"You're sounding like Sirius." He commented behind her.
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"You sound like a murderer"
"My husband didn't kill anyone Remus." She said, holding back tears. "And he didn't sell out Lily and James either. You'd have to be soulless before you sell out you best friend and I assure you that he has a soul. And if you think that for one second that he did, then you must be blind or maybe you're the one who sold them out and not Peter."
"Daemon how can you say something like that?" He asked in a hurt tone.
"The same way that you could say that Sirius did that." She said before leaving the kitchen.

A/N: Hello Again. Sorry that this chapter is shorter then usual but the next one will be longer and it'll even have Lé Anna in it. (Woo Hoo!) Anyways if anyone is in the mood for another Lily/James story like the sequel I wrote a new story that you should check out if you wish. (Catch me when I fall)
Dani - I'm glad that you didn't give up hope on me. I had Exams so I'm sorry that it took so long to update this. Anyways, I was going to write a part into this where Mrs. Weasley was yelling at the boys for not trying to break up the fight but I wanted to get this up as soon as possible so I took it out.
Super Poet Girl - (HURRY UP AND UPDATE!!! Bajeebus) Back to my story. I'm glad that you loved it.
Please Review/Flame (If you must) I love constructive criticism
