Chapter 17
Hermione was behind the counter when he walked in.
"Remus" She gasped, surprised that he was back.
"I need to talk to you" He said intently.
"Now?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Ginny? Could you cover the counter?"
Ginny came out of the back room, saw Remus and gasped. (Of course by now, Hermione had told Ginny everything).
"Yes, of course!" Ginny said.
Hermione walked with Remus out of the shop in silence. He grabbed her arm, and before she knew it, they had apparated in front of the Shrieking Shack.
"I'm sorry that I didn't give you any warning. I just really need to talk, and here seemed like the best place"
She nodded.
"The baby's not mine. Tonks loves Charlie Weasley. I don't know how it happened, but it has, and I'm so sorry. You'd be a fool to have me, but I just wanted you to know . ." He looked at her, and saw she seemed very bewildered.
"What are you trying to say?" She asked cautiously.
"I never stopped loving you."
"You're right. I would be a fool to take you back. You just think you can come back here and ask me to be with you?" She sounded more sad than angry.
"I have nothing to say" He admitted.
"Well I do." She marched up to him, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before saying "Because I'm not leaving you alone again"
This time when they kissed no one faded away.
