Chapter 30: Meeting Baby Lupin!
After showering and changing into a pair of blue jeans and a pink, flower patterned tank top, Melissa made her way to the only place she knew Dragon went to when he was upset, the Astronomy tower. "Hey, you forgot this." Melissa said, lying the robe down on one of the tables.
"Thanks, be careful, we might be caught standing tenfeet away from each other, having sex." Dragon said, facing the window.
"You're being ridiculus. Look, my sex life is not, and never will be, controlled by my dad. It's my body and I'll give it away when the special somebody and I feel it's the right time, and truth be told I hope and pray that it's you." Melissa walked up and kissed Dragon.
"My parents and your dad are furious aren't they?" Dragon asked, turning towards Melissa and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Nope, I yelled at them after they left. No harm done." Melissa said, kissing Dragon again. "Now, follow me." Melissa pulled Dragon down to the dungeons.
"Where are we going Mel?" Dragon asked,stumbling down the steps.
"To the dungeons, duh."
"Mel, I mean it. Where are we going?" Dragon hated not knowing where he was going, especially when dangerous people were out to get him. Melissa turned left in the dungeons, and went half way down the corridor before stopping.
"I want to hear you play the piano. I want to hear one of your songs before anyone else." Melissa opened the door, inside was a small concert hall. It was completely empty except for a baby grand piano in the middle of the room. Melissa cast a sound proofing charm on teh room so the music wouldn't draw any attention. Dragon's eyes got wide and he seemed hypnotized as he walked down the steps towards the piano.
"How did you find this place?" Dragon asked in awe.
"I have my ways, now play." Melissa said smiling and sitting next to Dragon on the piano bench. Dragon placed his hands on the keys, and Melissa could tell he had entered another world.
"What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seems so alive. I can't keep up and I can't back down I've been loosing so much time."
"Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose, and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why. I can't keep my meyes off of you." Dragon pulled Melissa into his lap, resting his chin on her shoulder while he continued to play and sing, forgetting everything around him.
"All of the things that I want to say, just aren't coming out right. I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning, I don't know where to go from here."
"Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose, and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you." Melissa sang the chorus this time, Dragon laughed a little before continuing.
"There's something about you now, I can't quite figure you. Everything she does it beautiful, everything she does is right. You and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose, and it's you and me and all of the people, and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to loose and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you. What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive." Dragon finished the song, shaking his head.
"That was beautiful Dragon."
"What? Oh, thanks, sorry I forgot you were here. I sort of go into my own little world."
"I noticed. Can you teach me how to play?" Melissa asked, turning to face Dragon.
"I'd be happy to." Dragon placed his hands on top of Melissa's, and the rest of the day was filled wtih off beat piano sounds.

"Remus, how's Brychan doing?" A brown haired, hazel eyed, muscular but skinny guy asked, walking into the house, Auror robes and all on.
"He's great, but I just put him down for a nap so please keep your voice down." Remus walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. "I really do wish, for your son and mines sake, that you would choose one job and drop the other. I hate you having to leave the house at all hours of the day because either the Ministry wants you, or you have to spy on the Death Eaters. I hate hearing how Dolhov is going to be the next to die. I'm just glad Chastity and Dragon were able to fake your death, I mean the Dark Lord knows you died, so why you keep going to the meetings pretending to be someone else is beyond me." Remus said, kissing him.
"Yes, but I wish Draogn wouldn't have broken my nose, or elbowed me in the groin. How did they know not to kill me?" Alohov asked, pulling Remus onto the couch.
"They had to make it look authentic." Remus handed Alohov an ice pack.
"Thanks. Remus I know this isn't exactly romantic, and I was hoping to do this differently, but with both of us so busy , me with my jobs and you being deputy Minister of Magic, and running for the Minister position, I don't have a lot of time to take you out, romance you, and love you the way you deserve. What I'm trying to say Remi is that, I love you a lot, I would cross the world to be with you, will you marry me?" Alohov asked, getting on bended knee, and pulling a ring box out from inside his pocket.
"Yes! Oh Merlin Alo yes!" Remus yelled, jumping to his feet. James and Sirius had never seen someone smile as much as those two at that precise moment. The occasion did bring up memories of their own proposals.
"Congratulations you two!" Sirius said, walking in to the room, James followed.
"Thanks, it's so good to see you guys after so long."
"It's good to see you. Moony, why didn't you tell us you were pregnant? We had to hear it from Melissa." James asked, a little hurt.
"Oh Padfoot, Prongs, I'm so sorry, I've been so busy , I thought I told you. All this time I was afraid you never stopped by because you were upset that it was Dohlov's."
"That's another thing, why didn't you tell us you weren't with Snape? That is was all fake?"
"He wanted to, but Albus wouldn't let him."Alohov said, speaking up for Remus, who went into the nursery to get Brychan.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet Brychan Dohlov. " Remus brought out a brown haired, hazel eyed bundle of blankets.
"Aww, Moony, he's so cute." Sirius said, coming over to Remus' side.
"Shh. He's sleeping." Alohov said, the smile on his face was wider then ever.
"You really love both of them don't you?" James whispered in his ear.
"Yeah I do. They both mean a lot to me, I know you can understand what it's like to feel like the war has taken everything away from you. Well, that's what I was afraid of during the war, I was afriad that I'd lose Remus, that I would end up being discovered as a spy for the Ministry. I'm still petrified, but now my child is weaved in there. I'm thinking about giving up being a Death Eater and Auror, maybe settle into an Obliviator job or something."
"Have you talked to Remus about it?" James whispered before turning to Remus. "Congratulations Rem, he's a doll. We don't want to wake him though." Remus nodded his head, leaving the room.
"No, I haven't talked to him about it, he keeps telling me to pick one job over the other though, because he's worried about me also. Maybe I'll just stay at home and take care of Bry, I mean Remy's the Deputy Minister, there's a great chance he will become Minister, with the money I've made and my family, along with what Remus would, and is making, Brychan's grandchildren will have more then enough to live off of."
"Tomorrow is the best day to talk to Remus about it okay? It's the day before the candidates start campaigning, it's also right in between moon cycles so it won't have any of those weird mood swings that he can get. Does Brychan have theLacathropy gene?" James asked, as Remus came back into the room, standing besides Alohov.
"We were lucky, he doesn't have it. That was the one thing we were both worried about, we didn't want him to have to go through that. James, Siri, I'm sorry to have to cut this short, but I have a lot of work to do at the Ministry, and Alohov just got home from a meeting."
"Don't worry about it, we can catch up this weekend or something okay? Just remember we're still here for you." Sirius said, going over and hugging Remus and shaking Alohov's hand. James hugged Remus, and winked at Alohov.

"Chastity, are you okay?" Severus asked, knocking on the bathroom door, looking over at her bedside table, Severus noticed that the morning sickness potion was still in it's vial. Moving quickly, he went into the closet and pulled out two hand towels, picked up the potion off the table, then carefully went into the bathroom damping one of them with cold water before sitting down behind Chastity. He held her hair back until she stopped, handing her the dry towel to wipe her mouth with, and putting the cooled one on the back of her neck. Chastity leaned back against Severus, placing her shaking hands on his knees. Severus moved the cool cloth to her forehead, while rubbingone of his hands up and down her belly before handing her the potion. "Take this, it should stop you from getting sick."
"Thank you, I meant to take it earlier, but it came on all of a sudden. I hate being pregnant right now. It's not even your child and you're here, you sat there and made sure I was okay. Thank you." Chastity said, taking the potion.
"Chastity, before you were captured...What I mean is, why did you leave? What appointment did you have?" Severus asked, trying to bring up the subject with out sounding accusing.
"I didn't have an appointment, I went to Madame Pomfrey because I had a question. She didn't give me the answer I wanted, so I went to find somoeone who would take care of it for me. Sirius was right, the only thing I have to offer this child is a life full of hiding, and he or she doesn't deserve it. I was trying to get an abortion okay?Since I'm three months, they won't allow it. I can't believe I wanted to get rid of it." Chastity turned around, crying on Severus' shoulder. Severus dropped the cloth, wrapping his arms around Chastity and pulled her close.
"Chas, you have everything to offer this child, and it will be extremely loved, more so then you know. I won't let Black take this child away from you, and I won't let anything happen to either of you, you have to believe me. I wanted to wait to ask you, but may I be the father of your child? Can I adopt him or her after their born, that way they have a mother and a father." Severus whispered into Chastity's ear. Chastity stopped crying looking at Severus like he was crazy.
"Have you lost your mind? Sev, a child is a huge repsonsibility, and this one will more than likely be taken away from me. I mean, I would love if you were the father, but if you get attached, if the child gets taken away, it's just very hard to deal with." To say Chastity was extremely shocked was a huge understatement.
"I'm serious Chast. I will not let Black take our child away okay? Now, since your stomach has calmed down, why don't you go rest in bed, today's Saturday and I'll go get you toast and have Albus draw up the paper work. I just want you to rest and let me take care of everything today." Severus helped Chastity up, taking her into his room and placing her on his bed. "It'll be easier for me to check on you through out the day. Plus, if you fall alseep, I can just crawl into bed and hold you and be there if you get sick again. Now, I'm going to go, and I don't want you worrying about a thing." Severus walked out, his first task was going to be a meeting between Albus, Sirius, Lucius, and himself.

"You can't be serious Sirius!" Albus was yelling for the first time in his long life, and it was scaring the the three men. "This has gone way to far, your childish tantrum over wanting something you can't have ends right this instant, you will go and apologize to Chastity before tomorrow night,and I'm sure Severus will want to be there."
"It's my child."
"No, it's not just your child, it's Chastity's child also. How would you feel if Melissa's mother was still alive and before her death threatened to take Melissa away from you. You are not to take anyone away from anyone. Okay, next subject." Albus said, trying to move the meeting forward, it had been four hours since it started and the only thing they had talked about so far was Chastity and Sirius' child.
"I want to adopt the baby when it's born. Chastity said it was fine, ok so she said something more along the lines of are you crazy, but I want to do this."
"Severus our laws say that you'd have to marry Chastity to adopt her child. So take your time, think it over, talk with Chastity maybe even Lucius about this later and at length. Anything else we need to discuss?"
"No Ablus, I believe that's all." With that they all left. Severus having finished his grading earlier that week, picked up Chastity's ungraded papers and did something he had never done before, graded them fairly. Making sure there were comments on how to improve their papers and praises when they did something extrodinarily well, Chastity did have a reputation to maintain. Once he finished, he made his way back to the dungeons, making sure that Chastity had finished her toast and had lunch. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, thank you. Severus, may I ask why you are doing all of this for me, for us?" Chastity asked, placing a hand on her stomach.
"Because I love you, Chastity I want you to promise me that you'll think of this child as yours and not Blacks. Black maybe it's father, but you're carrying it and it's depending on you for survival. When it's born, its bond will be a lot stronger for you then him. I finished grading your students assignments for you. Why you let it pile up is beyond me."
"I was sort of busy being pregnant and arguing with said father of child, so forgive me for not considering them of great importance."
"Just asking Chastity." Severus said, kissing her forehead. 'This is going to be a long 5 months.' Severus thought, before taking a nap.

A/N: Dragon: Hey everyone, first off I have to give credit where credit is due. The song I was singing earlier does not and will never belong to me, it belongs to a band called Lifehouse and is called You and Me. Other then that, Kime is sorry for not updating sooner, but she just didn't feel like Betaing this story, and everytime she did something would go wrong and she'd have to start ALL over. Ok, Kime has outlined the rest of this story, and it's definitely getting close to the end, but fear not! Year three is being outlined and thought out as we speak, and let me say, it's more twisted then ever, pregnancy tests, HUGE reveals, even more truths uncovered, More children, Weddings, promotions, and...An american school? Oh yeah, and a lot more Twin magic :). There was just one question that Kime, Danny, and I were debating about, and that was if you all wanted Dragon to keep this song thing going. Kime has two songs saved that WILL be put in the story one at the end of this one, and the other one some where towards the beginning of the next one. It's up to you all though. Oh and here's a secret for you all...This story will end with a HUGE HUGE HUGE cliffhanger:O. I know, Kime's mean right. Anyways on with the reviews.
SarahAmanda: I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter, and hopefully this one just as much.
Bitcake: How about we agree to disagree about the spelling of Slidell/Slydell? Remus, he um...Well I don't know exactly where he went, he just sort of apparated away for a while there, but he's back now so rest assure, I have found him or well Orlin and Danny found him. James and Kime: Yeah exactly.. Kime: You missed the big huge clue :). Nope Ophelia didn't hit us, but it did create reallybadflooding though, I believe one countyhad to boil there water forseven days or something like that, anda lot of people had to go move in with friends for a while because the water started coming into their homes again. New Orleans dries earlier then expected, but Florida homesstill have inches of water andwatermoccasins due to thehurricanes,go figure.Sirius: What? don't ... me! I didn't do anything! I command you all to stop hating me! Sev: Chains you to the dungeon wall and leaves you there for Filch to take care of I told you not to call me Sev, I do NOT do homework, and I've heard that Filch is very sex deprived. Harry and Draco: Snog and Make up Happy?...Ok the scene with Dragon and Melissa, I didn't mean for it to be sad, it just came out that way, I was more going along the lines of the episode of the T.V. show Roswell, where Michael is abused and leaves his foster home in the middle of the night and ends up at Maria's. If you're a Roswell fan, then you know what I'm talking about. If not, you should really try watching the show, it's really good even though it was cancelled after three seasons, and I get a lot of my ideas from there. Jersey's Tale and Snape's Daughter were based off of that show. Sirius is getting on my nerves also, but... That will soon be taken care of (There are two options of what might happen, I haven't figured out which one I'm going to pick, so I'm looking for someone to talk it over with.) No! Sirius is not the father of Remus' unborn child...Sirius is straight silly.
Heather: I said what T word? There are a LOT of T words, like There and Tea, and Tree, Thump, Trewlaney, Teacher, Trespass, Troll,Trolly, Tabitha,Tom Cruise, Timmy Turner... So I don't know what T word you are talking about babe. So go on and tell your little heart away.
