Remus looked stunned. He couldn't say or do anything he just look stared at Lily in shock.
"W-w-what, a-a-are you sure" Remus managed to stammer.
"I-I-I thought you were taking a vow of chastity until you got married" he said starting to sound a little angry now.
"Just let me explain" Lily said as large tears started too well-up in her eyes.
Remus turned to look at Lily and saw the sorrow in her emerald eyes. Remus took Lily's hand on his lap and gave it a comforting squeeze.
Lily looked up and immediately new why she had trusted Remus with this.
"It all happened on the last day of school before the Christmas holidays," she said with a note of uncertainty in her voice.
"It was when me and James were still dating, and I hadn't met Greg yet. Well it was three days before we broke up, and I really thought that James was the one" As Lily said this her voice started to brake up but she hid it with a slight cough and went on.
"We were up at the top of the Astronomy Tower checking for rouge students but when we got up there, there wasn't any, but because we rushed in there so quick the door jammed shut behind us, and we got stuck" Lily waited for a response but Remus was just staring at her waiting for the rest of the story, so Lily just ploughed on.
"Well anyways, we kind off got court up in the moment" Lily looked away as she said this because she nu what Remus was going to say, but to her surprise Remus didn't say anything at all he just kept staring at her and then he would look away.
Lily was a little taken aback when Remus didn't say anything but thought nothing of it and kept on going.
"And just for the record we did use a contraceptive spell but I guess it mustn't of taken affect in time" Lily was starting to get worried because Remus wasn't saying or doing any thing he just kept staring in to space.
"And that's it" Lily said as she waved a hand in front of Remus's face trying get his attention.
"W-w-w-what, oh ok" Remus said with a start "but as long as you used a contraceptive spell there was really nothing else you could have done I suppose" "Hey what's the time" Lily looked down at her watch and jumped up with a start.
"It's 10:50, SHIT, I've got 10 minutes to get home hey I will see you at Hogwarts or some other time ok" Remus nodded and Lily jumped up and ran out of the park.
What the hell was that about Don't know, but he sure wasn't acting like him self Tell me about it, it was like he was some one elseOh well what ever it was about is not going to mater much if you don't start running a hell of a lot faster
Lily stopped having a mental battle with her self and focused on running she was 9 blocks away and only had 3 minuets left.
Lily got to the front garden of her house, vaulted over the front fence and ran up the garden path and through her self at the door unlock it and collapsed in the door way.
"I MADE IT" Lily panted as her father came round the corner from the lounge room.
"Just" he said as he stared down at the panting figure of his daughter on the floor.
"Let me help you up" as he said this he grabbed Lily under her arms and dragged her to her feet.
"Now go up to bed before your mother knows you've been out" as he said this he pushed Lily in the direction of her bedroom and went back to the lounge room. Lily stumbled up the stairs, walked through her bedroom door and fell on her bed.

Remus had caught the night bus home to make sure nobody would follow him. He walked up the driveway of a huge manor that had perfectly manicured gardens and a large Quidditch pitch out the back. He walked around the back of the house and levitated him self up to the third story window and snuck in.
As Remus came through the window he went straight to the mirror. As he was standing there his hair went from the greying brown like it had once been to jet-black and it stuck up at the back, his eyes were going from the grey like they had been to hazel. From the moment it had begun it had ended just as fast, and were Remus Lupin looked out before now in his place James Potter stood.
"WOW, I didn't expect you to cut it that fine Prongs" James turned round to be greeted by a boisterous Sirius Black and a smiling Peter Petigrew.
"Where's Mooney" James said in a very serious tone that Sirius was shocked at.
"Don't worry Prongs he's safe in the cupboard, Greg gave him the Wolvesbane Potion and hes just staying in there until he changes back" as Sirius said this he bounded on to James bed and sat there watching him through curious eyes.
"So are we going to have to wait until Mooney turns back to Know what she said or are you going to let us in on the secret"
James turned to Sirius and smiled his evil smile "You guys will have to wait until we are all here"
Sirius looked as if his life had come to an end, but new it better than to argue.
James changed out of Remus's clothes and went to bed, as he lay awake he couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment that had flooded through him since he got back.
Why didn't she tell me? Did she think I couldn't handle it Geese if she new that was me and not Remus she would kill me Prongs…. Get a handle on your self, there is no way in hell you are ready to be a dad…. You can't even look after your self let along a kid Greg's the responsible one in the family, not you She did leave you for him Where brothers for gods sake, we can't be that different James fell into an uneasy sleep with these thoughts running through his head. "PRONGS, PRONGS, PRONGS" James woke with a start to find Sirius leaning over him. "What the hell are you doing" James said as he jumped back. "Well you did say once every body was here you would tell us what she had said" James sat up and put his glasses on, he had a look around the room, Peter was sitting on the rug looking at James as if his life depended on what he said next, Sirius was sitting on the end of James bed now picking at a scab on his knee and Remus was strapped to a chair with a gag in his mouth. "What the hell Padfoot" James said as he jumped out of bed and ran over to Remus. "Well he didn't really wont to come and hear what happened, he said something about not wonting to betray his friend or something like that, but because you said you weren't going to say anything until we were all here he had to come" Sirius said this with a look of innocence on his face. James rolled his eyes and started to untie Remus. "YOU GUYS ARE THE WORST FRIENDS EVER" Remus screamed as James pulled the gag out of his mouth. "I can't believe you would stoop that low, I just can't believe it" Remus was struggling out of the last of his ties. "I'm leaving you idiots here and I'm going strait to Lily and telling her that it was you and not me" Remus was heading towards the door as he said this but before he even got to the door he was pulled to the floor by three sets of arms around his knees. James, Sirius and Peter were struggling to keep hold of Remus when they got him to the floor; there were arms and legs going everywhere. Greg Potter came through the door of his brother James bedroom to find all four friends wrestling and fighting on the floor. "STUPEFY" Greg yelled as he pointed his wand at the four of them. The four of them collapsed on the flour completely stunned. Greg walked in the room and shut the door behind him, and said the counter curse. "Now do you ladies mind telling me what all this is about" Greg said as he looked around at the panting figures on the floor. "It's nothing" James said as he shoved Peter off him "Really well In that case, what did you use the Polyjuice Potion for" Greg raised his eyebrows when he said this. "We needed to spy on someone" Sirius said as he got up roughly and stood a fare way-away from Remus. "You guys weren't spying on Snape again were you" Greg put his hands over his eyes and groaned "James if mum finds out she is going to kill you, you know what she said" "One more attack on Severus Snape and you'll wish you had never even be came a wizard" Greg's mocking voice of there mother was almost the same as the real thing. Once the hysterical laughing had subsided Greg got to his feet and went to leave. "James can I have a word with you, just for a sec" "Ok " James said as he got to his feet and followed Greg out. "Listen bro, I know you and Lily were really big back in school last term, but I just don't wont you to make her feel uncomfortable when she comes over to meet mum and dad ok" James looked stunned at his brothers words. The only time he has ever taken a girl into meet mum and dad. Was when he proposed to Devon Carmichael three years ago. And she said no!"Your not going to propose to her are you" James blurted out
"And so what if I am, you and her are over now"
"So she's only 17 she wont want to marry any one just yet"
Greg looked as if he was going to kill James, he grabbed James by his shirt and pulled so close to his face James could feel his breath on his cheek.
"Next time I wont advise on MY girlfriend I'll ask, because at the moment I don't need a prat like you telling ME how to ask a girl out OK" Greg shoved James back so hard he hit the wall and bounced off.
Greg gave James one last glare and went back down stairs.
James pulled him self-together and went back into his room.
"Maurders we need to talk"
