All stood in a stunned silence. Remus was frozen rigid like had had been electrocuted. Silvery blue and Amber eyes met Pewter, emerald and Hazel. The tension was finally cut by Sirius.

'Remus? Re?' Rushing over he enveloped the horrified man in a tight embrace, gushing nonsensical sentences in his ear.

'Lay off him Pads. You'll crush him.' James walked over, a broad smile on his face, as he too embraced his long lost friend.

'Where in Merlin's name have you been. We were looking all over for you. Didn't you read the paper's. Oh Merlin, I'm so sorry for noyt believing you, and then for hitting you. I'm so sorry.' Sirius broke off shame-faced. An equally ashamed James spoke up, 'I'm sorry too Moony. But where have you been. We asked Pomphrey, but she refused to tell us. Just kept spouting on that it was for you to tell, and that you would never betray us. She was insufferable for weeks after Pettigrew was found out. Moony?'

Remus kept staring ahead in a kind of transfixed horror. His world had fallen apart. His nice little seclusion of just himself and his daughter, away from the wizarding world had just shattered. It was all over for them now. Harry was just as shocked. He knew that Sirius was gay, and that remus had been a lover of his, but he had never associated the man from their descriptions as the mild-mannered Jacques Lupin. After Remus had ran away, all pictures of Remus had been, all keepsakes of the planner among the Marauders had been destroyed, and all memory of Moony had been obliterated without a trace from the lives of the remaining school friends. An action that was greatly regretted not less than a year later. Hell, I don't even mind gays. I was just trying to annoy Amaya. I wonder if they will get back together? Why is she glaring at Sirius for? The look on Amaya's face was truly terrifying. It wipes the floor of any of Snape's glares, no problem. Lily, too appeared to have noticed Amaya's anger toward Sirius. What is her problem? Then she noticed her eyes. Her distinct, silvery blue eyes. She let out a gasp and stepped back. This drew the attention of James and Sirius away from Remus, and to the seething girl. Both men almost quailed under the hatred of her glower. Then they too saw her pale eyes.James cursed loudly, and Sirius stretched one tentative, trembling hand towards his daughter.

With a snarl, she slapped it away. This snapped Remus out of his trance, and grabbing his daughter by the hand, he made a grab for the shelter, the remnants of the transparent cocoon in which they had lived for the past sixteen years, and he ran.


Oops, another cliffie. Please read and review. authoress runs, dodging bullets and rotten eggs
