Chapter 4: "He didn't sign the papers?"
Back at Lupin manor Bailey had gotten James and Abigail settled in and had eaten supper. Hermione, Ron, and Harry came and the five of them decided to play a few games in the study next to Remus' office. "We need to talk." Bailey said entering his office.
"Before you start to yell, I didn't want you two to divorce without making sure you were not in love with each other first. Of which you both still are." Remus said calmly.
"That's not your choice to make! I can't believe he didn't sign the papers and that you didn't make him." Bailey yelled which caught the attention of the five kids who stopped playing to listen.
"He needs to calm her down before she really gets going." James said.
"Remus James Lupin! What are you not telling me?" Bailey yelled.
"Sirius is teaching DADA." Remus said helping Bailey to a chair.
"He's a professor? Remus I-I can't do this. What if he gets mad?" Bailey was shocked.
"Yes, and he won't be. Bailey he still loves you and I know you still feel the same way." Remus took her hand and flipped one of the rings around. "Or you wouldn't be wearing that."
"In time I'll tell him. I promise." Bailey said looking at the engagement and wedding ring Sirius gave her.
"I know. Go to bed. I'll make sure James and Abigail are ready for tomorrow." Remus said leaving the office.
"Abby, James are you two packed?" Remus asked when he noticed the five of them trying to listen.
"Yes Harry and Hermione helped us. What happened to mum?" James asked.
"She went to bed She was-- she had to think a few things over." Remus said watching Abby play Ron at wizarding chess for the first time.
"Abby are you sure you've never played? You're the only person I know who can beat Ron." Harry said watching excitingly.
"I'm positive mum and Brendon never owned wizarding chess." Abby said beating Ron for the tenth time.
"Well you're a great opponent." Ron said putting the game away.
"Thanks, well I'm going to bed see you all tomorrow." Abby said leaving with James and Hermione.
