This chapter, Romulus and Remus are six years old. Aphrodite and Diana have kept in touch and Aphrodite sometimes takes care of Romulus and/or Remus when Diana has to go some place alone. You learn about what happened to Aphrodite before and around the time Remus was bitten. Enjoy the chapter.

"Thirty-nine Jamaica Avenue, apartment number four!" Diana bellowed as she thrown the floo powder into the fire place. Romulus and Remus were holding her hands. She needed someone to take care of Romulus for awhile.

They landed in the fire place in the living room section of Aphrodite's apartment. She still lived in that same one where Diana came back one day drunk. The day that changed her life. She brushed the ashes off of her clothes and Aphrodite was waiting for her.

"Hello." Aphrodite tried to say as cheerful as she can. Diana just realized Aphrodite's brown hair was short, not the long cascade of hair almost anyone could be jealous of. Diana didn't recognize it all the other times that her hair was that short.

"Hi!" Romulus and Remus said in unison. Romulus looked so innocent sometimes and Diana would always laugh to herself. Even Aphrodite knew what he was capable of.

"Think you can take care of Romulus for me for a little while?" Diana asked her.

"Sure," Aphrodite replied immediately. "Why."

"Come here,'' Diana whispered to her and they were in Diana's old room. "I need to take Remus to a healer. This healer says that he might have a cure!"

"Didn't all the other crack pots say the same thing to you?" said Aphrodite sadly but true. Her voice had a bitter tone to it too.

"But this one..."

"I just don't want you to be disappointed. There is no cure for lycanthropy, you know that Diana." Aphrodite put her arm around her friend. She pitied Diana that she took Remus from healer to healer only hearing the same bad news and broken hopes and promises.

"I just hope that this healer might have the cure. I hate seeing Remus going through that every month." It made Diana feel helpless when the full moon came around. She wished she could help her son. Hearing the hell that he went through was dreadful. Aphrodite saw the terrible state Remus was in once after the full moon. It was dreadful.

"That's how I felt when I was sick." admitted Aphrodite.

"What?" Diana asked puzzled. What was Aphrodite talking about?

"It was around the time before Remus was bitten and shortly after that I was still recovering. I should have told you, but..." Aphrodite started to say and looked at the floor. "You had your own problems and I didn't want to burden you."

"That's crazy Aphrodite! You can tell me anything."

"Ok..." Aphrodite sighed. "I couldn't believe I actually had this sickness. I didn't know that witches and wizards could get this too." She started to look weary telling Diana what happened to her during the years when Romulus and Remus were three and four years old.

When Aphrodite was done telling Diana what happened to her Diana was slient and then spoke.

"I thought muggles can only get Cancer." Diana said.

"Well that's one of the many lies,"

"I'm sorry... if I knew..." Diana had a rush of sympathy for her now. She never told Diana.

"No need to say you're sorry. It's been two years since I haven't had to go to therapy. Every so often I have to go to the doctor though. It's just that... when I had it I felt so weak and helpless and I could have died. I was so frightened and I didn't understand why I struck with the disease. When they told me they haven't found a cure for cancer yet I didn't believe them at first. Then when I saw other patients with my problem some of them had it much longer than me and some were expecting to die in a couple of months." Tears flowing down Aphrodite's beautiful face. "They kind of said to me there was no cure and that you left your life in fate's hands. I was lucky in the end."

"I guess I shouldn't go to that healer then. It will just bring more broken promises and hopes to me and more importantly to Remus. He one time told me when we were about to leave to go see someone Remus said to me 'Mum, why are you taking me from place to place when these healers keep saying the same thing that "there's no cure and your son won't amount to anything". It's getting repetitive.'"

"He said that!" Aphrodite half laughed. "I always knew he was a smart kid. Good for him. What bull those healers are telling him. He will amount to something one day, I know it. He's a smart kid. And maybe there might be one day a potion that makes the transformation less painful. Who knows?" She started to sound like her old self again. She stopped crying but her nose was all red and her eyes were bloodshot.

"I surprised he said that too. He's so quiet all the time. He reads too much." Diana said.

Romulus and Remus walked into the room. Romulus had a smirk on his face like he had something up his sleeve and Remus had a book in his hand and started to read.

"Yeah I see what you mean."

"Come on," Diana told the boys. "Change of plans we're going home."

"Yes," Remus said under his breath. He was glad that his mother wasn't going to take him to another healer.

"You know what would be better than that," Aphrodite said. "Why don't we all go to the coffee shop, yes Diana the place where I get the really good chocolate and hang out."

"Ok!" Diana said immediately. Even when Diana was in the worst situations chocolate makes her feel better (most of the time) and she noticed Remus loved chocolate too. They were now back in the living room section.

"Yay chocolate!" Remus said getting his nose out of his book for a little while.

"What's so great about chocolate?" Romulus asked.

"Everything," Remus said in a quiet voice.

"Shut up you..."

"Romulus stop," Diana warned him and gave him a glare.

"Come on let's go." Aphrodite said impatiently, now at the door. Diana and the boys followed. This was going to be very interesting... and for the first time in a long while Diana was having a great time.

Author's Note: I'm terribly sorry if this chapter sucked. The chocolate thing was really random. I was drinking chocolate milk and I was thinking about how a camp friend and I were talking about how in the PoA movie they went a little bit overboard with the chocolate (Lupin kept giving Harry chocolate). It bothered me. Anyways...It was a bitter sweet chapter I guess...Please review anyways.
