Chapter Three:
"Hermione?" he asked, his tone of voice softening quickly. He looked down at her and helped her off of the ground. A few wisps of hair fell into his face as he asked her how she had been doing lately.
She payed little attention to what he was saying as the both of them stood there, because she was too busy looking him over. She smiled a little as she noted that he had a few more strands of graying hair, but to her that made him all the more desirable no matter how hard she tried to deny it. She couldn't let herself succumb to her emotions and go back to him, for her own good as well as their son's. She still had yet to tell him that her little boy was his as well. As soon as he saw John, there would be no mistaking that he was Remus' son.
"Hermione?" he said trying to gain her attention.,
"Oh, I'm sorry Remus. I must have spaced out for a moment." she admitted truthfully. "I've been good, what about you? How have you been?"
"I've been alright," he said and ran a hand through his hair. He wanted to say that he had been miserable without her all these years, and he would give anything for her to come back in his life, but he wasn't going to allow himself to break down like that.
"That's good." she said and watched him. She was slapping herself mentally for leaving him. He looked miserable and it was all because of her, well, most of it. The other half was the Lycanthropy. It took everything from him and then some. She had just added more to his problems by leaving him.
"Yeah, well I'd better get going. We'll need to meet up soon. If that's alright with you." he said giving her a weak smile. She knew the full moon had just passed, he looked to weak. Even after all of these years, she could still tell without having to check the moon cycles.
Hermione sighed as she stepped in the door, wanting to be greeted by a quiet house, but instead she was greeted by a little boy screaming at the top of his lungs and a little girl running up to her as well.
"Well, one of these little rascals are mine, but the other, I believe I will have to adopt her or something." she said smiling a little. "Are you guys leaving Harry at home alone and spending the night or what?" she asked Ginny as she walked in after the kids.
"Nah, we gotta get home. We don't wanna keep Daddy waiting..." Ginny said getting her's and Abigail's cloaks. "Oh, don't forget. Harry's 'family get together' is this weekend. He said this is the first time that he will have everyone there together."
"Everyone?" Hermione said smiling a little. "So many little children will be running around the house. Not to mention Sirius, well, he's a kid anyways." she said and chuckled.
"Yeah, really." said Ginny pulling her cloak over her shoulders and slipping Abbie's over hers.
"Bye," said Hermione as they went out the door and she turned to face her house. Then did she just realize that everyone meant Remus as well.
