Several months later Holly was sitting at her desk absentmindedly looking at her ring and wondering why she was still at work. She had just finished a small report on why Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius' cousin, and her husband Rodoluphus and why they shouldn't be trusted. Just thinking if she could put away Bellatrix away in Azkaban, all this would be worth it. Holly and Bellatrix never got along. It was worse than Holly and Jenny's rivalry. Though most of the time it was Bellatrix started something, because Holly had muggle blood in her, but having friends like James taught her a few things.
Like how to sneak into the Slytherin girl's bathroom and switch all their shampoo with glue, or setting off dungbombs in their room and sealing it.
"What's so funny?" A voice said breaking her thought process.
"Nothing." she looked to see who it was. "Remus! What's wrong."
"We need to go to the hospital." he had a straight face on.
"Why? What's wrong? I just can't leave."
"It's important." he was hiding something.
"Fine, I'll go tell Crouch I'm leaving. I'll be right back." Holly came back in a instant, following Remus all the way to St. Mungo's.
"Tell me what's going on? Who's hurt? Oh god. Is it Siri? I knew that motorcycle was a bad idea…"
"No. It's not Sirius. Come on. We're almost there." Holly was on the verge of a panic attack.
"Holly, just breathe. It's very important to breathe." Remus wasn't even looking at her.
"I am!"
"Deep calming breaths." he repeated.
"Shut up Remus." she pushed him playfully. After living with
her for almost a year, he knew how to calm her down, cheer her up, and how to get her wild up.
"Alright in here." he stopped in front of the door and waited for a moment. "Are you sure you want to go in."
"I don't know what's going on, you drag me out of work, so yes. I would." Her hands were sweating and shaking. She carefully opened the door, and walked in.
"I officially hate you Remus." Holly said as she saw Lily sitting up in a bed holding a baby.
"Remus, what did you tell her?" Lily interrogated. "I told you to go get her, and tell her exactly what was happening."
"What? Are James and Sirius the only one's allowed to have fun?"
"Oh Lily." was all she could say. Holly moved closer and sat down next to her, looking at the tiny infant. "it's so cute. Ooh."
"Why are girls so weird when it comes to babies?" Sirius said from the other side of the room.
"You'll understand when you've got a litter of your own Pads." James chimed in.
"Well, then I guess it'll be a while then, eh, Holl." she blushed
trying to ignore him.
"What did you name it?" she asked.
"Yeah, I've been here five minutes and I still don't know if I'm right or not." Sirius said, moving over behind Holly.
"Well, we were waiting for everyone to show up." James said looking affectionately at the child. "Remus, where's Pete?"
"Couldn't get a hold of him. Sorry mate."
"It's ok. He's been acting weird the last few weeks."
"Well anyway back to the kid…" Remus said changing the
subject.
"We've named him Harry. Harry James."
"YES! I was right! I was right!"
"Ok, Sirius, calm down." Holly said standing up and pulling his arms to his sides.
"Your just mad, because you're not going to be a godmother."
"That's ok, I'm sure Harry will be quite happy playing with another child." she smiled at him.
"I do believe you have a nasty side to you Miss Evans."
"Yeah. Don't mess with me Black. Besides I'm horrible with children. I never got the knack for it."
"You know." Remus stared. "I think this the happiest any of us have been in months. This might be the start of something good."
Little did he know this would be the last time they would all be happy together again.
