Here's to Hope part 3

Ah, sweet love

By Pussin Boots

"and that is how I came by dear old Aragog", finished Hagrid.

"He sounds lovely", said Ginny. Ginny smiled and took a sip of the hot coco Hagrid had made her.

"He 'as, dea' sole", said Hagrid, as he dabbed his tears with a handkerchief.

"So, what's your plan for the classes this year", inquired Ginny.

"Oh!", said Hagrid, "Din't no you waz takin' me class!"

"Of course I am Hagrid!" said Ginny.

"Good da hear", said Hagrid, "Very good"

"I hate to have to leave so soon, but I have to do some school work", said Ginny.

"It's a' rite! As long as I see ya soon", said Hagrid, smiling and in his loud, booming voice.

"See you tomorrow then Hagrid", said Ginny as she left.

Ginny started walking torward the Hogwarts green houses, only to see Remus.

"Why hello Remus!" said Ginny cheerfully. Remus smiled and her heart did a flip flop.

"I'll see you tonight, won't I", asked Remus.

"Yup", said Ginny, in case you don't understand what is going on, it is a full moon, "What time?"

"7-8", said Remus, "That is when I generally change. I will be in my rooms".

"See you then", said Ginny casually and headed towards her room, to freshen up.

Remus was going for a walk around the Hogwarts grounds when he heard, in a big booming voice, "Good da hear!"

"Hagrid", said Remus smiling. He continued to walk in that direction, only to see flaming red hair. He sighed, but quickly regained control.

"Why hello Remus!" said Ginny cheerfully. Her cheeriness had to make him smile. She looked so happy, his heart did a flip flop.

"I'll see you tonight, won't I", asked Remus, referring to the full moon that night.

"Yup", said Ginny, smile still there, "What time?"

"7-8" said Remus, "That is when I generally change, I will be in my room".

"See you then", said Ginny casually as she headed torwards Hogwarts. Remus smiled and continued on his walk.

'Sweet thing she is', thought Remus, 'And rather attractive'. Remus, after reprimanding himself, headed to his room, to write a note to Mrs. Weasly saying that all was well.

"Calm down Ron, Ginny's fine", said Hermione sternly to her fiancée.

"But what if she isn't, what if she is just waiting for her big brother to come along and make her feel better?" asked Ron, worried.

"She is FINE! She is an adult now, well, by age, and she can take care of herself", said Hermione kindly, "Ron, she is a big girl now".

"I know", said Ron, "But know I have no one to protect, to take care of". Hermione smiled at Ron.

"You have me, and we can take care of each other", said Hermione.

"And when we are married, our 12 children", said Ron. Hermione just laughed.

"How about 7", said Hermione.

"9", replied Ron.

"8", responded Hermione.

"8", said Ron before her swept Hermione into a kiss.

"Remus", said Ginny as she walked into his rooms. The room was donned in a red and gold fabric and had a textured paint. On the wall were pictures. Walked through the room she looked at the photos, they started black and white and were pictures of Remus, Sirius, James and Peter. They were all smiling. The next one was at James and Lily's wedding. They were smiling. Oh so happy. Next was Harry's third year at Hogwarts. This was in color. It was of Remus, Harry, Ron and Hermione. Then was the third year for Ginny, at the triwizard tournament. It was of Harry and all the other competitors. Krum was looking tough, Fleur, well, like Fleur, and Cedric was, well, she didn't know. Cedric was always a little tricky. The last picture was of the Order of the Phoenix. It had two pictures in the frame, one of the old order, and then one of the present, well, know old, but not that old, order…

"Ginny", said Remus from the door to the left.

"Yes", asked Ginny.

"Um, I am changing, just", then a growl of pain came, "Just wait till I am done changing".

"Um", said Ginny, a little scared, "O-ookay".

Finally the growling stopped and Ginny got the courage to walk in. On the floor was a wolf, a pretty, graceful, but scraggily Remus Lupin.

"Oh Remus", laughed Ginny, "You are the prettiest wolf I have seen". If wolves could have smiled, Remus would have.

"Well, lets see", continued Ginny, "Is there a note I am to read?" Remus moved his head and gestured to the table, on which, low and behold, a letter was set. Ginny nodded her thanks.

Picking up the letter, Ginny started to read.

Dear Ginny,

Since I am, incapable of telling you this, I thought I would write it before my change. Do not be alarmed at any odd sounds. I still have some human thoughts as a wolf, but not all, so I will not be all like Remus, aka, me.

Ginny smiled at the obvious statement, then continued to read.

I have food in the cupboard. The books are on the shelves if you get board. Well, just make yourself at home and make sure I just don't go and mess up the furnature. Just normal dog stuff.

Remus

"Remus", murmured Ginny in her sleep, "Oh god! Do it again! Ohhhhh!" Ginny's red hair shone in the fire light. Remus just stared, the wolf, just looking, as the girl yelled her name in pleasure in her sleep. Then, she woke up.

Remus's fur, a gray brown, was prickling, like a cats would when angry. 'Oh shit', thought Ginny. Then Remus gave a wolfish grin, 'He heard' thought Ginny.

"I really think I should go", said Ginny, moving to stand, but Remus jumped on her and wouldn't let her get up.

Ginny just stared at Remus, face pale, and mouth agape in shock. 'Well, this is certainly a different turn of events', thought Remus.

"I really think I should go", said Ginny, stumbling on her words. Before he could think, Remus had pounced on her and wouldn't let her up.

"Remus, I", started Ginny again, Remus wished he could speak, actually he wished he could snog the hell out of her, thought a part of Remus. Instead, he growled.

"Okay then", said Ginny, clearly embarrassed, and a little frightened and she waited.

"Remus I", started Ginny. But her growled, she hated to admit it, but she was a little afraid.

"Okay then", said Ginny, embarrassed. Sitting there, Ginny thought about the situation and fell asleep yet again.

As Ginny slept, Remus waited, and waited. And then he started to change. Ginny started to stir. Remus moaned, a human, yet wolfish moan, as he changed, it hurt! Then the pain stopped, it was over. There Remus was, lying on top of Ginny, naked, her curves pressed up against him.

Ginny felt someone move on top of her. Slowly she woke, to hear a moan, and see Remus change to his human self. He was close enough to kiss. She stared into his eyes, then trailed to his lips, then jaw, then neck and shoulders, his stomach, and then, realized he was nude. Ginny blushed and turned away.

Remus watched as Ginnys eyes wandered down his clothless body. Then, her eyes went wide, she realized he was naked, and she blushed and turned away. Remus, realizing the kind of position they were in, blushed and got off her, putting on his cloths quickly, with the result of an inside out and backwards shirt.

Ginny felt Remus get off her, and felt a sudden pang, and realized she didn't want him to. But she slowly rose, and watched as he dressed, she couldn't help it. Then, once finished, he looked at her, her gaze still on him. He blushed and said, "Um, I should probably be going know, wait this is my place so..."

"Um, okay", said Ginny as she moved to leave.

Remus looked to Ginny, and upon seeing her staring, blushed. "Um, I should probably be going know", stuttered Remus, "wait, this is my place so…" Remus had trailed his sentence off. Ginny wanted to yell 'no!'.

Instead she simply said, "Um ,okay…" She started to walk away. But then, just as she was about to reach the door, she felt someone turn her around and press her up against the wall. The next thing she knew, they were kissing.

Ginny was walking towards the door, meanwhile Remus was kicking himself for letting her go so easily. 'Good god Remus, you're a grown man, you can handle this'. He walked quickly towards Ginny who had reached the door, and turned her around. A warm feeling went up his body upon touching her. He pushed her up against the wall, bodies firmly pressed together. His lips collided with Ginnys. He licked her lips, asking to be suffered entered. She slowly opened her mouth and he pushed his tongue in. She then started to use her tongue and they were soon feeling each other while kissing.

Ginny moaned into his mouth. Remus caressed her breast with one hand and rubbed her inter thy with the other. One of Ginnys hands was on Remus's chest, the other around his neck, fiddling with the hair at the nape of his neck. But Remus then pulled away.

Remus started to touch her in places that a teacher should not touch a student. Then she moaned into his mouth. He finally pulled away.

"We can't be doing this Ginny", said Remus.

"Yes we can", assured Ginny, "I am an adult". Ginny paused and said, "and I love you".

"But what if", started Remus.

"No what if's, lets just wait and find out", cut in Ginny.

Two Years later…

Remus, on one knee, reached into his pocket, "Will you marry me?" Ginny just smiled. Then, seeing Remus was waiting, leapt on him and kissed him.

One year later…

"I do", said Ginny, happily.

"I now pronounce you man and wife", said the Priest. Ginny and Remus then shared a long kiss.

One year later…

(Ginnys 21)

Remus sat in the waiting room, worrying. Remus had wanted to be with Ginny while she gave birth, but she wouldn't let him, saying "Why should we both go through the pain". He supposed she was right.

"Hello Harry", said Remus when he caught site of him walking into the room.

"Hi Remus", said Harry glumly.

"What, no luck?" asked Remus.

"No luck", confirmed Harry, "Merle is at home, with her 'toy', and mean while, mine is in Alaska on vacation".

"Well, um, I'm sorry about that, I guess", said Remus uncertainly.

"You are lucky", said Harry suddenly to Remus, "Being married to a girl you love". Remus smiled. "I only with I had known what I know this four years ago…" finished Harry sadly.

Remus and Ginny Lupin had seven kids, Bill (the oldest boy), Charley (second oldest), Lily (at Remus's request), Fred and George (a boy, Fred, and a girl, George, and twins), who are following in Fred and Georges footsteps, Ron, and… Dean. Remus died at the age of 82, and Ginny died at 77.

Ron and Hermione Weasly were married a year before Remus and Ginny and had 8 kids, topping the old Weasly record.

And I, Merle and I married one year before Remus and Ginny, it was a month before Ron and Hermione's wedding. We had one kid. I raised him to be a good lad, and he turned out so, much better then his father. He reminds me a lot of Sirius. He was the same hair, and name as Sirius and the same excitement to him. He had Merles blue eyes and is now happily married to the daughter of Neville and Luna. Merle died at a mear 57, leaving me a great fortune that I spent on my dearly loved son, Sirius, and his grand kids.They have three children, all happy and amazing. I, now 72, am a sad old man, wishing that love had not passed me by. But I only have myself to blame for this, because I broke the heart of the one girl I loved, Ginny Weasly…
