A/N: Thank you so much for all your reviews, I am sorry this chapter is short but I wanted to put something up.
'Thank you, you look good too,' he said politely.
She blushed and looked down at herself, 'come in, do sit down,' she said and led him into a small house. It was decorated with photographs of Rebecca growing up. There were fresh flowers in each room and it smelt great, Remus sat down on sofa and watched Stephanie bustle into the kitchen.
'Tea or coffee,' she shouted.
'Tea, no milk, one sugar,' he recited.
'Oh, yes I remember now. We would all come here for afternoon tea each day. How I missed it when . . .' she paused to think of the right way to put it. 'Everyone went their own ways,' she ended.
'Of course you did,' said Remus, 'I miss everything about them, I still can't believe he –'
'So Rebecca tells me you're a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,' Stephanie cut across Remus' remark.
Instead of being angry about being cut across, he looked relieved that she had.
'Yes,' he said. 'Rebecca and Harry are my top students as well as Hermione. Ron does try his hardest though,' he said conversationally.
'That's my Bec,' said Stephanie proudly.
'Yeah, you should be really grateful to have her,' he said.
'I am.'
Dear Mum,
I heard that you had lunch with Professor Lupin. Was it good? He said he knew you when you were at school, so he must know my father, right?
I still am waiting to go to Hogsmede; it's going to be great with all the lollies and pranks. Fred and George said the Butterbeer is fantastic. They've been going to Hogsmede for two years now. They say every time it gets better. I hope that's true because we will be going there a lot and I don't want to get bored of it.
Nothing much to say other than take care of yourself and I know work is hard but you have to keep going.
Miss you heaps,
Rebecca
Stephanie was happy she said that she missed her, she missed her so much. After Remus had left she felt so lonely again, seeing an old friend and then leaving so suddenly. "He said that he knew youwhen you were at school, so he must know my father, right?" was the line she didn't like to think about. What if Bec asked him what her father was like? How would Remus handle it? Would he tell her everything? She did not like to think about it. She wrote a reply as quick as she could.
Darling Bec,
It wouldn't be wise to ask Professor Lupin about your father, as they did not get along well. Do not mention this either because it might upset him. Anyway, enough about your father. How is school? Have you taken to liking Divination yet? It is fascinating, please try and do your best, I wouldn't like you to fail that subject, seeing at it was one of my favorites.
Did you try out for Quidditch or was there already enough people; I was a Chaser at Hogwarts. I was on the team with James', Harry's father. He was a great Seeker, we won practically every game.
Now I keep asking you about Christmas holidays but you never give me an answer, so next letter I want a straight answer. Alright?
Now, I want you to have a good day, and I also want a letter back soon, because I miss you so much and I worry about you. Take care!
Love Mum.
Bec ran to the window and greeted Elvis. He had a letter for her from her mother. She quickly opened it and read it, tears came to her eyes. She had wanted so much to ask Lupin all these questions about what her father was like and what he liked doing. She wanted someone other than her mother to tell her she acted like her father and had hair like her father. She wanted someone to talk to her about him.
Harry saw her tears and gave her a big hug, she cried on his shoulder while he listened quietly to how her mother told her not to ask Lupin about her father.
'You should talk to Dumbledore,' said Harry, 'he would have known him.'
'I will,' she said confidently, straightening up and wiping her tears away.
'Good, now we have to finish this essay or Snape will put us on detention.'
A/N: I thought I should do a bit on Bec at the end, because practically all of it has been on Stephanie. No memories this chapter, but I will put one or two in the next one. Tell me what you thought by reviewing please!
I also want to tell you that it might be a while before I update all my stories because my exams are start on Monday next week, so . . . yeah.
Also one more thing, my friends and I have started a round robin, please check it out it's called "The Final Year" by the marauder chicks. Please check it out.
