Chapter 58-Happy Birthday

Alana looked at a picture of her mother and smiled. She thought about their trip to California all those year's ago.

"Mommy why can't I go on the muggle rides" young Alana asked her mother.

"I didn't say that you need to be a little taller, your only five sweetite" Paige said as they walked around Disney.

"This is fun pretending to be muggles" Alana whispered to her mother.

"Well I need to do it for a story and you get to be apart of it." Paige said looking at an airplane ride. She looked at her daughter.

"I guess I can do this once" Paige said as they walked to a bathroom. She took out her wand and pointed it at Alana. Alana grew a few inches.

"Wow, thanks mommy" Alana said happily.

"It's only for this ride, I love planes" Paige said as they ran to the line.

Alana looked down sadly and continued her homework.

Lupin walking in Hogsmade watched a little girl throw a paper airplane. He smiled and thought about the last time he saw a paper airplane.

"Remus" Paige said throwing a paper airplaine at him.

"I'm not sure about this Paige" young Lupin said looking at the airplane a few feet from them.

"Come on all the muggles do it you think too much like a wizard" Paige said putting her flight cap on.

"I am a wizard" Lupin said as they got aboard.

"Whoa" Paige said realizing what they were about to do. "We're on an airplane, neither of us don't know how to fly" she said.

Lupin laughed at her and looked at her.

"What?" Paige asked.


"Nothing" Lupin said blushing a little bit.

"My boyfriend never does anything like this, thanks for coming with me Remus" Paige said.

"Anytime" Lupin said.

Paige started to steer the controls. "Yea I'm flying" she said laughing. "Woo" she cried.

Lupin looked down and noticed Tonks standing next to him.

"Welcome back, Tonks" Lupin said as the woman smiled at him.

"Good to be back, you looked like you were in a trance for a moment, what's on your mind" Tonks asked.

"I was remembering someone" Lupin said.

"Oh a special someone" Tonks said.

"It's March 25, it would have been her birthday today" Lupin said.

A few hours later, Lupin walked back in his office. "Alana" He said surprised to find her sitting down.

"Hi" she said.

"What can I do you for" Lupin asked.

"It's mom's birthday, no one here knows that but you" Alana said wiping a tear from her eye.

"I know" Lupin said sadly.

"I remember drawing her pictures of a birthday cake when I was six. I tried to make pancakes for her, they were horrible but she ate them anyway" Alana said crying.

Lupin walked up to his daughter and pulled her in for an embrace.

"I miss her too" He whispered softly to his daughter. Alana quickly moved away from him.

"Alana" Lupin began to say.

"I don't know why I came here" Alana said angrily walking away. Lupin took his wand out and locked the door.

"No we're going to talk about this" Lupin said.

"There's nothing to talk about" Alana said.

"What do you have to say to me just say it let it out on the table, you want to get mad, get mad. I'm mad too!" Lupin yelled.

"Why didn't you try to look for her!" Alana yelled through her tears.

"She left London angry at me, I was angry at her too for a very long time. By the time I got over that" Lupin said.

"She was dead" Alana said, Lupin took a deep breath as she said this.

"When I found out your mother was dead, they told me it was from a potions accident. If I knew you existed I would of looked around the world for you." Lupin said with tears in his eyes.

Alana wiped the tears in her eyes and looked up at Lupin.

"I lost so much time with you, I don't want to lose anymore" Lupin said.

"I'm sorry that I kept the truth from you earlier." Lupin said.

"I'm sorry, Pro, I mean" Alana began to say.

"Call me what you feel comfortable with, this is going to take time" Lupin said as Alana walked up to him and hugged him. She started to cry.

"I miss her so much" she whispered in her father's ear. She felt more home than she felt at the Deerr's in years
