Chapter five
A little thing called home truths
Luna ran over to Harry's battered body. A pool of blood was beside him his breaths where short and sharp and his glasses where smashed. The damp grass formed a nest around Harry. Voldermolt's dead limp body laid only meters from the hero's slowly dyeing body.
"Harry." She breathed brushing some of his hair from his face. "You'll be alright. You won."
"Luna." He said in pain trying to get up. "The other night—"
"Harry we got drunk and had sex. Come on. Keep your strength. Help is on it's way--"
"No Luna. I am not going to make it—"
"Stop talking crazy."
"No I'm not going to make it. But Luna, I want you to know that I care for you a lot. The other night was one of the best nights in my life. I love you Luna."
His hand, which was covered in Death Eaters blood, touched Luna's arm.
"I love you too." Luna bent down and her dry cracked lips touched his. "I'm not going to let you go, OK."
"Luna. I'm so tired. Let me go. Let me die like my parents and Sirius. Fighting Voldermolt."
"What about me, Harry. What am I meant to do with out you?" She cried as she cradled his head in her muddy arms. "You are my everything."
Harry's eyes looked into hers.
"I love you. Never forget that."
Luna ran her fingers through his hair.
"You have come to far to though it away. You have to live for us. For you, for everyone. You deserve a normal life now. And you have done everything to get it. And your not going to give up. You hear me."
Harry grabbed his wand and shot a burst of red and blue light into the air.
"For you." He whispered closing his eyes. "For you." He whispered.
She felt his body turn limp.
"Harry don't leave me. Harry. I love you. Harry." Wept Luna as Ginny, a practicing Healer, ran over.
"Harry!" Ginny grabbed her wand and did some easy healing spells.
"Where's Ron and Hermione?" asked Luna and she and Ginny helped Harry to his feet.
"Ron took her to safer grounds. Come on."
Harry awoke in a white room he looked and saw a blond head of hair holding his hand. He felt drips of warm droplets of water on his hand.
"Luna." He murmured trying to sit up.
"Harry." She cried hugging him. "I've been so scared that you…that you had given up your fight. Oh Harry I love you."
"I love you too. I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Wanting to give up."
Luna kissed his forehead.
"It's Ok."
"I love you, Luna. And the next time we have sex. It will be magical. Something you'll never forget. Something you'll hold forever in your heart."
"You've just come out of a three week coma. And the first thing you think about is having sex with me."
"Well you are the best that I've ever had."
Harry smiled as Luna laid next to him.
"I promise I wont leave you." He whispered into Luna's ear.
"You cant promise that. I mean you need to go to the toilet sometime." She laughed.
Just then the door opened, there stood Ginny her eyes blazing with blind hate towards Luna.
"Oh Harry, I have bad news for you."
"What is it Ginny?"
"My dad has been charged with war crimes."
Ginny started to cry and she snuggled herself up against Harry.
"Ginny." They sighed as Harry put his arm around her. "How are the rest of the family?"
"Everyone is alive. Tonk died though."
Harry woke up. His hands ran over his famous, trade mark scar. His fame his glory had gotten his son and his first love, but now he wanted nothing more than to just be happy. But he just couldn't become happy. It was all fake. He loved his son he love him more than life it's self. But then it came time for him to go to Hogwarts, Harry couldn't pick him self up. He felt so fake, everything in his life just seemed so fake. That was until Hermione came back, Hermione and Christine. Christine. She was perfect to him. Her stupid jokes the way she laughed. Perfect.
"Dad." Greeted James sitting at the table reading the Daily Prophet.
"Hey Son. How did you sleep?"
"Same old. Dad who was that girl with the red hair calling Ginny a slut?"
"Casey Granger. Why do you like her?"
James blushed deeply.
"Oh my son is getting his first crush." Harry teased ruffling his sons hair.
"There's a letter for you." Said James trying to change the subject.
James handed his dad a letter.
"It's from the Weasely's."
Harry broke the seal and read the letter.
"We're invited to Mr and Mrs Weasley 50th Wedding anniversary."
"When is it?" James asked peering over his fathers shoulder.
"Next weekend."
"Is Casey going to be there?"
"I don't know. But we are having dinner at the Weasley's tonight and they are coming. You should give Casey some of that famous Potter Charm."
"What like your doing with Christine?"
"I resent that."
George laid next to Christine his finger ran along the a tattoo on her lower back of three Circles intertwined together (AN Picture the Charmed symbol) she looked so peaceful. He ran his fingers through her long brown hair. He gently kissed her shoulder blade before he got up.
He walked into the Kitchen and made him self a cup of coffee.
"Hey." Greeted Christine as she stood in the doorway wearing George's Cannons t-shirt, that came halfway down her thigh.
George smiled and flicked his hair.
"Has anyone told you how hot you look in men's clothing?" He flirted.
Christine smiled and took the cup of coffee out of his hands and took a sip.
"Has anyone ever told you how hot you look in your Smillie face boxers?"
"Many. But mostly Fred."
"That's Sick." Christine went on her tippee toes and kissed him on the cheek.
George wrapped his arms around her waist puling up the shirt just a little bit.
George kissed her lips gently.
'Say it.' He thought. 'Say it. She gave you her virginity. She must feel the same way. Say it. God Dam you SAY IT!!!'
"I love you Christine."
"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I have to go. They'll be wondering where I am. Yeah. Got to go. I'll see you around."
Christine ran into George's bedroom and quickly changed into her cloths and Apperated away before George could run after her.
'I am so stupid.'
"Christine. Look we've been invited to dinner with the Weasley's tonight." Yelled Casey waving the invitation in the air. "And we've been invited to their Wedding anniversary. Isn't that exciting. I have to find something to wear. Will you come shopping with mum and me? We could go looking for an office for you to start up you own legal ferm. That would be so cool. And we could visit Dad. We should really try and get him and mum together. Then I can have a popper family. Not that your not part of my family but like you know with but with a mum and a dad. Do you think if they got together again I would have a little brother or sister?"
"Slow down, Casey. Of cause I'll come shopping with you. But first I need to talk to your lovely mother. Alone."
"Why?"
"Woman stuff."
"But I'm a lady."
"Eh no. Anyway we might see James." Casey blushed. "And don't you wanna look your best for him?"
Casey ran up to her bedroom.
"What did you want to talk to me about? Because if it is about me getting back with Fred you already know my answer."
"No it's not about that. I have been…kinda…sleeping…seeing George."
"WHAT!?" Screamed Hermione. It was hard to tell if she was angry or excited.
"And today he told me that he loved me."
"And what did you say."
"That I had to go."
"I see. Do you love him though?"
"I've just met him. How am I meant to know if I love the guy? He just moved to fast."
"Why are you scared of love?"
"I am not scared of love. You are!!"
"Did something happen when you where growing up?"
Christine face went red with anger.
"Love destroyed my mum. And it is going to destroy me."
Casey was running up and down the Alleyways looking into all the different shops. Christine was looking in Quidditch 'r' us. Looking for something to give to George, to make up for her leaving. And Hermione was waiting in line for and ice cream for the group. It felt good to be home. Her parents loved Casey and she loved being back. Her eyes drifted over to the WWW. She wanted to go in like she used to when she was dating Fred. She used to walk into the shop and no matter how busy it was he would give her a kiss. Tell her that he loved her. Ask George for a brake. George normally said no and Fred still took one.
Hermione's heart sank.
"He cheated on me." She muttered to herself. "Or that's what Ginny told me."
"Talking to your self, Miss Granger. And I always thought of you as the smart witch of your time." Said a voice from behind.
Hermione turned around and smiled.
"Professor Lupin."
"Please Hermione call me, Remus. You are no longer a student."
Hermione wrapped her arms around him and hugged.
"It's good to see you again Pro—Remus."
"Same here, Hermione." They broke the hug. "I hear you have a daughter. How did you bring her up on her own?"
"Well I had some help from my roommate. What am I saying? She was like a second mother to Casey. That's her there that's my Casey."
"Wow she looks a lot like you and Fred. It's hard to see which one she looks the most like."
"And that is my savour. She has been my pillar of strength during the past thirteen years. That is Christine Madden."
Remus face went white. As he saw the girl he turned his back on all those years ago talking to Casey.
"Remus are you OK?"
"I need to sit down."
Hermione helped Remus to a seat.
Christine turned around and saw Remus. He could see the hurt and the pain in her eyes. He could read her like a book like her mother.
Flashback
Remus sat my the lake out the back of his parents place. He went there every full moon. He was tired, transforming into a werewolf every month was tough and hard work.
"Hey moony." Said a voice from behind. Remus smiled as he saw her beautiful face of the untouchable woman. Her brown hair that fell across her face. Her honey brown eyes bore into his sole.
"Hey Bec."
Bec sat down next to him and her long fingers touched his cuts across his face.
"Do they hurt?"
He nodded not able to bring his eyes away from hers. Rebecca, or Bec, used to date Sirius, and the in fact when they broke up that Sirius never gotten over her. Bec had moved on. But Sirius wasn't the only one who loved this woman, Remus had loved her all through Hogwarts and up until now. He couldn't remember a time when he didn't love this woman.
Bec pulled out a square of cloth and dipped it into the cool lake and then started to dab it on the wounds.
Remus couldn't control him self. He kissed her. To his surprise she kissed him back. She put one leg either side of him. Never braking their kiss. She sat on his lap running her fingers through his mane of sandy blond hair. Remus started to get hard with the girl on top of him.
"Remus." She moaned into his mouth.
He stopped kissing her.
"Sorry." He muttered as he pushed her off him and made his way to the house. He opened the door to his own privet room.
Bec ran after. She flung open the door.
"Don't walk away from me, when I want to tell you how I feel about you."
"What? I'm a werewolf. Why would you have feelings for me? Just leave."
Bec slammed the door. With her still looking at Remus who was standing beside his bed.
"I don't care that you're a werewolf. I love you." Bec pulled off her top and took off her pants with him watching with great delight. She stood before him in her underwear. "I understand if you don't feel the same way. But by looks of it. You do." She walked over to him and kissed him.
Remus placed his hands on her hips and pulled her down on the bed. It wasn't long until they were both naked. Remus flipped Bed over and slipped his fingers into her. She moaned. All his dreams where coming true.
"Oh Rem." She groaned as she ran her fingers through his hair. "I need you."
Remus whispered his feeling into her ear as he plunged himself into her.
That night changed his life for ever.
That night he became a dad.
That night she told him that she was going away for business and will be back in a month, but she never returned.
End of flashbackChristine saw him sitting next to Hermione. "Does everyone know bloody Hermione?" She muttered as Casey ran up to met the man her mum was talking.
"Christine this is my old Defence against the dark arts teacher Remus Lupin. Remus this in my very good friend Christine Madden."
"Hello." She said coldly as she offered her hand to him.
Remus stood.
"Nice to met you Miss Madden."
"Mr Lupin. Hermione I have a gift I have to give someone. See you around Mr Lupin."
"I hope so."
Christine rolled her eyes like she did when he slammed the door in her face when she said she didn't care that he was a werewolf she just wanted a father.
She opened the door for the WWW. Pushing through the crowd Christine made her way to the front of the shop then slipped behind the counter to the staff lounge. There was George sitting looking out the window.
She felt a, prang…maybe a bit more that a prang a wave of guilt when she saw him.
"George." She whispered into his ear.
He looked up. His eyes where so sad.
"What?" He snapped.
"I got you something." She handed him the bag, inside of it was the history of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He and Fred where both in it.
"Thanks." He muttered as he pushed it aside.
Christine stood there. She didn't know what to do. But right that second she wanted to slap him.
"I hate to burst you bubble, George. But your not the first one I couldn't respond when they told me that they loved me. But you are the first one I want to keep."
He looked up at her.
"Why should I care? Why should even want to stay with you?"
"You hardly know me. How can you love me?"
"Does anyone know you?"
Christine looked at him.
"Yeah your right no one does know me. You know why? Because my past has been shit. Ok. You know why I cant say that I love you? Because I don't know if I do, I bet if knew who I really was you wouldn't love me at all. So don't give me this fucked up shit about you loving me."
George grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Why? Why wouldn't I love you? Cause I cant give you the one thing you and your family want. So let me go."
"What? What cant you give me? All I want is you."
"No you don't."
"Is it so hard to believe that someone can love you."
Christine pushed his off her and walked away with her head hanging low.
Hermione and Casey went into the shop to look for Christine.
"Dad!" Screamed Casey as she ran up and wrapped her arms around her fathers neck. He smiled at his daughter then he smiled at Hermione.
Her knees felt weak.
Her stomach did a flip.
'Oh no. I love him again.'
"Hey Fred. How's work?"
"It's good. Hang on I want to give you something." Fred reached into his pocket and pulled out a sack of gold gallons. "This is for child support."
"Fred you don't have to. I work. I can afford—"
"Well if it wasn't for my family we would have gotten married and I would have payed for it anyway. And you could have brought up our children and you could work when ever and what ever you wanted. Take it please it's my way of saying sorry."
"Thank you Fred."
Fred leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Casey saw Christine and ran after her.
"Can I see her sometime?"
"Of cause." Said Hermione. Fred lightly touched her arm.
"I missed you. A lot."
Hermione smiled and left.
