AN: -Points- I have over a hundred reviews! -squee- I'm filled with joy. Seriously, I looooove reviews. Now that I've officially went into 'crazy-land' let's start up this chapter shall we? First off, for those that didn't want to read the 'R' rated paragraphs from the last trip into present day, you didn't miss much…it was just a sex scene…yes they had sex. Secondly, just who is that guy in the photo with Kit's mum? -shrugs- I dunno, it was a last minute add on. I'll think of something cool and groovy though.

Okay then, on with the chapter .

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter Thirty-Two

(Present Day)

Winter Holiday's

Remus awoke with something very soft and warm on his side, blinking his eyes open for a moment to adjust to the late morning light he took a moment to sigh with content. His gaze went down to Kit, who was the soft and warm thing on his side, her naked body pressed firmly close to him as she slept. It had been a…very good night, and now it was a very good morning just to see her there.

It was safe to say that Remus finally believed that she wasn't going anywhere, she wouldn't suddenly disappear, and that no matter what she'd be with him. He adjusted his hold on her, shifting just a little to avoid all the circulation in his arm from being cut off. She made a small noise and buried her head into his chest and Remus just grinned.

This was the way things were supposed to be. Him and his Kitten lounging in bed during the winter holiday's, doing the things that regular couples can do. Being a regular couple, but then again…weren't they so much more? Laying there he took one of his hands and gently wrapped it around Kit's hand that had been resting on his chest. He laced his fingers though hers and canted his head to one side as he lay there…her hands were so small.

So fragile.

…and all his. She was his, and nobody else could have her. Okay, so that was a little big of him to think that…woman weren't property and all that other stuff that feminists of the day seemed to say. Although, he was fairly certain that Kit didn't mind if she was being referred to in his mind, as His.

Kit shifted in her sleep slightly, causing Remus to fall out of his thoughts and look down at her once more. Wide set blue eyes looked back at him through a curtain of orange hair. "Morning already?" She asked yawning and stretching her body out next to his.

"I'm fairly certain that it might be afternoon by now." Remus stated, taking a moment to glance out the window.

"Imagine that." Was all she said, curling back up next to him as close as possible. "You make a really good pillow…you know that?" Kit asked him, sleepily.

"Oh, I've been told that before."

"You're just the right amount of squishy…but not to much squishy."

Remus blinked, apparently his Kitten was still tired. With ease he leaned his head forward and placed a quick and thoughtful kiss to Kit's forehead. "Go back to sleep Kitten."

But she was already asleep.

And so was one of his arms.

And yet, Remus was still grinning ear to ear. He couldn't think of a better way to spend his waking hours.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hours later, Kit finally awoke to find herself in an empty bed. She stretched herself out, yawning and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes her leg hit something in the corner of the bed. Kit sat up, looking down she found that it was simply Spooks she had hit. Must have climbed in when Remus got out of bed, Kit figured as she leaned forward to grab the heavy as all sin cat.

"Good Morning Spooky Spooks." Kit greeted in a rather lighthearted mood.

"Me-ow."

"Afternoon is it then…fickle cat."

"Mer-ooow"

With a rub to the purple eyed cat's head Kit gave a sigh, leaning forward to be eye level with the cat.

"Where's my Remmy?"

"Hisssssssss." Kit blinked and gave a small chuckle before getting up out of the bed.

"I'll take that as 'go find him yourself.'" Out of bed Kit went in search for clothes, after all…walking around naked in the middle of winter, not her idea of a good time. She finally settled on yet another one of Remus's shirts, wearing one's own clothes was very over-rated. Slipping on the dark green long-sleeved shirt that looked like a dress on her, she turned to face Spooks who was still lounging comfortably on the bed.

"How's this look?"

"Meow."

"Yes, I figured you wouldn't have an opinion." She said to the cat, for good measure sticking her tongue out at the animal before running her hands through her hair to tug it back and get that 'I just woke up' look to go away.

Although, once Kit finally did emerge from the bedroom and headed off to find Remus she wished she didn't. Why? Remus was currently pouring tea for Dumbledore who sat at the kitchen table with a all-knowing grin on his face, clad head to toe in what looked like Christmas robes, not only were the main colors of his robes red and green, but for some reason it looked like Christmas lights were blinking on his robes as well.

She'd truly never understand that man. Then again, it was moments like these when Remus was giving her a deer in the headlights look that she knew something was wrong. Namely…she obviously wasn't dressed for the occasion.

Wearing her boyfriends shirt…just waking up from sleep…yes, this probably would be her queue to leave.

But it seemed that Dumbledore had a different idea, "Good afternoon, or would it be morning for you?" well, at least his voice was jovial…right?

"Hello headmaster." Was all Kit was able to choke out, looking towards Remus once more in question. He simply shrugged, it looked as if he only got up moments ago as well seeing as he was simply clad in pajama pants and his old fuzzy robe.

"Oh, thank-you Remus…" Dumbledore said with a wide grin as Remus finished pouring the tea. Dumbledore easily raised the cups to his lips and took a sip with that same wide grin on his face. "Now, I'm sure you two are wondering why I'm here."

"It did cross my mind." Remus said, pouring himself a cup of tea after Kit declined the offer of the drink (while Remus might have started to like the drink, she still detested it).

As Kit took a seat at the table (no sense running back to the bedroom to change now), Dumbledore handed Kit a small bit of parchment. There was simply a number printed on it, which caused Kit to raise her brows, "What's this?"

"When mister and misses Potter died, you are aware that they left their assets to both you and James." Dumbledore started, causing Kit to blink at him in a moment of confusion…why was she being told this again? "And obviously, when you disappeared your inheritance went to James." Kit nodded, she figured as much…but then again, she hadn't really been thinking about it.

The Potters were rich, after years and years of working for the Ministry, they did collect a lot of money. Although even when she inherited half of their fortune Kit hadn't touched a bit of it, neither did James for that matter. "In James and Lily's wills…"

"Wait they had wills?" Kit interrupted, slightly aghast…they were so young…how could they of had wills?

Instead of Dumbledore answering her, Remus did with a small sigh, "Times were rough back then, with attacks happening nearly everyday, most wizards had a will or at least some statement for if they were to ever meet their end."

"Oh."

"Yes, it's not a grand thought of someone so young having to draw up their last statements…but it's a good thing that they did." Dumbledore started, nodding towards the paper in Kit's hands. "James, like Remus still had hope that you might come back. It's lucky he did, because he left your half that had been given him untouched, while the rest of his and Lily's money went to Harry…yours was set aside in a vault in Gringotts."

"So…what you're trying to say is that…" Kit paused for a moment, turning the paper around in her hand as she thought, "My share of the inheritance went to James, and he didn't use any of it because he still had hope that I'd come back, and so in his will he told you to give me my inheritance back if I were to ever come back?"

"That is correct my dear girl, James wanted to make sure that if you did manage to come back, that you'd be financially okay to live." Dumbledore explained, and Kit simply blinked.

So…this was an interesting development. When the Potters had died, Kit never thought she'd get some kind of inheritance, but she did…it was split right down the middle with her and James. When she asked him about it, he shrugged gave her a hug and told her that she was apart of the family…his parents loved her as if she was their own. Now, because James had hope…that money was right back with her.

It was confusing. It really was. Money had never been something she thought about, seeing as she always had parental figures to worry about it, and even then when she didn't have parental figures she had James. Now, it was dawning on her…this was something she'd have to worry about.

Dumbledore stayed and chatted a little with Remus, it seemed that Dumbledore was greatly interested in the relationship between both Kit and Remus…causing Kit to wonder and almost asked what he knew. Dumbledore knew something, that was the conclusion that Kit had come to. If anything, the news of her newly gained fortune could have been sent by owl. However, it seemed that Dumbledore wanted to be there in person.

He was paying close attention to how Remus and Kit interacted and that scared her.

What did he know? And why was he so accepting of their relationship? He even told them, just before he was leaving that they made a good couple. It was like…he wanted to make sure they stayed together.

Why?

What did he know?

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Once Dumbledore left, Remus and Kit sat in the kitchen both in silence until Remus raised the question that was on both of their minds. "Is it just me…or is he trying to make sure that we stay together?"

Kit gave a nod, "Seems that way to me."

Remus stood up, taking the tea-cups to the sink; "Well, I don't think he has anything to worry about then."

Kit grinned, "Neither do I."

It was their silent agreement…they were never going to separate…ever. They just never talked about it, because both of them knew…they'd be together forever. It had also been their silent agreement to head into the bathroom and shower together. It no longer felt weird to see one another naked (and Kit no longer had commentary about how great he looked in the buff going through her head).

"Do you think we can go down to Diagon Alley today?" Kit asked, as Remus took the time to wash her hair for her.

"Itching to spend your fortune eh?" He asked, a grin on his face while she rinsed the foamy shampoo out of her hair.

"No…well, yes…it's almost Christmas and I would like to pick up a few things now that I'm able to." She explained to him, simply. It was a short list of the items she wanted to get, or rather who she wanted to shop for. Of course there was Remus, first and foremost she'd have to get him something (although what she wasn't sure of), then there was Harry…she HAD to get him something, after all if she was going to be a good Aunt didn't it start with showering him with gifts? Maybe something for Quidditch…she mused. Then finally, Sirius.

Kit was fairly certain that he hadn't had a gift in quite sometime, maybe a new set of robes and…well, she'd think of that when the time came. He was her friend who obviously would be spending the holiday's alone…again. While her gift to him would no doubt be given to him after New Years, at least she could show him that she cared.

The two of them were dressed and ready to go by four PM, so they might have been starting their day off later then most people, but they would still be able to get shopping done easily seeing as they would be traveling by the Floo Network.

It was bound to be an interesting trip…after all, it seemed that neither of them thought about what would happen if they were seen…together in Diagon Alley.

Interesting indeed.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

AN: Mwhahaha, I leave it off here aren't I evil?

Okay a few notes.

In my mind, The Potters think of Kit as theirs so it's only fitting that when they die she get's half of their money while the other half goes to James.

As for James, I just wanted to show that he really cared for her. She might have been gone and yet he had the thoughtfulness to add her to his will. Nice eh?

What's going to happen in Diagon Alley, and just why the hell is Dumbledore trying to make sure Remus and Kit stay together?

As always I love reviews

Toodles.
