Charlotte and Zak glanced worriedly at each other.
"Ginny, who are your parents?" Marie urged worriedly.
"I don't know" Max looked like he was about to faint.
"This is awful!" he hissed "She can't remember anything from where she came from! Doesn't she have anything in her trunk that could refresh her memory?" Remus dashed over to her trunk and started searching through it frantically. He sighed in frustration when he didn't find anything.
"Nothing!" he cried. Max ran a hand through his hair.
"I shouldn't have used the charm with Ginny in the room, I should've realized that she'd have done that, she'd want him to change the future!" Marie rubbed his back gently.
"In a way, she's got what she wanted" she said softly "She can't exactly go back to the future if she can't remember anyone"
Max stared at her in disbelief.
"You want her to stay?!" he questioned incredulously. Marie looked guilty.
"She did seem to spend a lot of time with Remus, Max and she loves being with us" Charlotte nodded in agreement.
"We should make up a story for her to believe, otherwise she'll get upset if she can't remember who her parents are and stuff" Marie nodded, while Remus hugged Ginny tightly. Ginny stared at him with a confused expression on her face.
"Have I done something wrong?" she asked worriedly. Remus shook his head.
"No Gin, you've done nothing wrong" He told her softly. Ginny smiled as she pulled him into a hug.
"I love you!" Charlotte cooed.
"That is so sweet!" Remus glared at her; a signal for her to shut up, yet Charlotte remained oblivious to it. Zak sniggered.
"I wish I had a mum and dad" Ginny said sadly, while she stared at Marie and Max "I can't remember mine"
"Well, you're an orphan" Charlotte explained "Your parents were murdered by You-Know-Who" Ginny's bottom lip trembled.
"Oh" she whispered. Zak stared at her.
"Quick thinking" he muttered. Charlotte nodded in agreement. Remus sighed in annoyance.
"Why can't you just say his name? It's Voldemort!" he snapped. Charlotte, Zak and Ginny winced slightly "It's just a name, don't you remember the old saying? "Fear of a name only increases the fear of the thing itself"" Ginny looked deep in thought.
"I swear I've heard that saying before" Remus smiled slightly.

"Sirius, what the hell is the matter with you?!" James exploded "Why are you trying to break up Moony and Ginny?! I've never seen Moony so happy before and now you're against him?!" Sirius glared at him.
"Prongs, I love her!" he spat "She's unlike any other girl I've met and-"
"She loves Remus!" Lily snapped "You can't just try to break them up! You think you love her Sirius, it's not real! It's all in your head!"
"For once Evans, I agree with you" James said, glaring at his best friend "Padfoot, you need to put your feelings aside for Ginny, you made a pass at her and she's rejected you, now get on with your life. She doesn't want you and she's made it clear" Yet Sirius still remained stubborn.
"No! I won't! I love Ginny!"
"You can't always have everything that you want in life Sirius" Lily yelled "Now leave Remus and Ginny alone, they were perfectly happy until you decided to butt in!" Sirius mumbled something under his breath, while he pressed the ice-pack that was on his arm, harder into his skin.
"I don't know what she sees in him" Sirius snapped irritably.
"Well, well, I never thought I'd see the day when the great Sirius Black was jealous" James said, sounding amused. Sirius' eyes widened as the truth dawned on him. He was jealous of Remus!

Ginny snuggled up to Remus later on that night.
"I'm not looking forward to going back to school" she said sadly. Remus nodded in agreement.
"Me neither, but it's the only way to get a good job, although, I don't know why I even bother, it's not as if it's going to be easy to get a job with my being a werewolf" he muttered sourly. Ginny hugged him and kissed him passionately on the lips.
"You'll do fine, I know it, I believe in you!" Remus smiled slightly as he put his arm around her.
"Love you" he whispered.
"Love you too" she whispered back. Just as they were leaning in to kiss each other again, sniggers could be heard from outside the room. Remus sighed in irritation as he got up and stormed over to the door and flung it open. Charlotte and Zak were rolling around on the floor, clutching their stomachs.
"What is so funny?" he snapped.
"Oh, oh, it's hilarious!" Zak cried "Oh, Remus, I love you kissykissy!" He said, making silly kissing noises. Remus blushed bright red as he glared at his brother.
"You act like a five year-old" he told him coldly, then he stormed off to the kitchen "MUM!"
Marie emerged from the kitchen, rather red-faced.
"Yes, dear?" A few minutes later, Max emerged from the kitchen with his hair disarray. Remus slapped a hand to his forehead.
"Tell Char and Zak to stop listening in on Ginny and me, we're trying to have our privacy and we can't have that when they're listening and making fun of us! Honestly, they act younger than us!" he exclaimed. Marie nodded, looking stern.
"Charlotte! Zachary!" she cried out. They both appeared from Remus' room, looking worried.
"Yes, mother?" Zak questioned.
"Will you leave Remus and Ginny alone? They would like some privacy, actually, forget that" Marie turned to Remus' room and muttered a spell "There, they can't listen in on your conversation now and it'll be locked until either of you decide to open it" Remus beamed at his mum.
"Thanks mum"
"No problem" she said with a wink as she briskly made her way back into the kitchen "You two can help me" she told her son and daughter. Charlotte and Zak groaned as they entered the kitchen, looking annoyed.

"Hey Gin" Remus said with a grin, shutting the door behind him. Ginny blushed when she saw him.
"Do you think that'll be us someday?" she questioned. Remus raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, your mum and dad, do you think that'll be us one day?" Remus grinned, while pulling Ginny onto his lap.
"I'd say that anything's possible" he whispered huskily in her ear. Ginny leaned into him with a dreamy look on her face.
"I can see it now. We'd have three children and-"
"Three?!" Remus exclaimed, looking horrified "What's wrong with one or two? Why three?"
"I dunno" Ginny said with a shrug "I guess three children's just always appealed to me. Two boys and a girl, one of the boys would have red hair and hazel eyes, the other boy would have sandy brown hair and brown eyes, while the girl had sandy brown hair also and hazel eyes" Remus relaxed, while he listened to Ginny describing their married life. When she'd finished, Remus looked thoughtful.
"Actually, I could see us like that" he said with a grin. Ginny giggled.
"We must sound so pathetic, I'm only fifteen and you're sixteen and already, we're planning married life"
"What's wrong with that?" Remus frowned "I like it" Ginny blushed slightly as she nuzzled against him.
"I love you" she whispered as she sighed at the warmth of his embrace. Remus kissed her tenderly on the lips.
"I love you too" he whispered back "and what I wouldn't give to show you how much I love you, but with others in the household, I daren't"
"Well, you heard what your mum said" she said with a mischievous smile on her face. Remus suddenly grinned.
"Allow me to escort you to the bed, milady" he said in a gentlemanly voice. Ginny giggled as she kissed him passionately on the lips.

Sirius lay down in bed that night, thinking. What was it about Ginny that he was so in love with? He couldn't put his finger on it, but it was every single time he laid eyes on her, he felt his heart jolt as if it were receiving an electric shock. He growled as he pictured Remus with her. So this was what it felt like to be jealous? It wasn't in the least bit as Sirius had expected it to feel like. He hated it! He hated Remus for getting the girl that he liked, even though he knew he was being selfish for thinking that. He tossed and turned all night, thinking about the red-head kissing and laughing with the werewolf.

The next morning, Remus awoke to find Ginny tracing his face with her finger. She blushed slightly when she saw him awaken.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" Remus pulled her into a passionate kiss, his arms snaking around her waist as he pulled her closer to him.
"I love you" he whispered breathlessly.
"You're like a drug to me" she admitted "I just can't get enough" Remus shot her a grin.
"Same. I feel like I need you with me at all times. I'm terrified when we're not together" he admitted. Ginny smiled.
"C'mon, let's go get some breakfast" she suggested. Remus nodded in agreement. He picked her up, as a groom would pick up his bride, and carried her outside to the sofa.
Everyone watched them as Remus lightly put her on the sofa. Ginny laughed madly.
"I feel so special" Zak's eyes widened, he turned to his mother with a shocked look on his face.
"Mum, they've …"
"Yes, I know" Marie interrupted him "Something tells me that last night wasn't the first time either" Charlotte spat out her coffee.
"What?! You were dead set against us having sex until we were eighteen! Why's Remus so lucky?"
"Because he's got a lovely girlfriend who's very sweet, that's why. I feel like I know the girl and I really like her, I mean, you can't not like her, can you?"
"True" Zak admitted.
"The girls that you brought home were whores" Charlotte stated.
"Hey!"
"Calm down now children" Marie told her son and daughter wearily "You know, I'm surprised that neither of you have married yet"
"Me? Oh, I like being single" Charlotte told her.
"And I am way too young to be tied down to one female" Zak said.
Marie rolled her eyes as she eyed Remus and Ginny with a small smile on her face.
"Remus! Stop it!" Ginny said, playfully hitting him on the arm.
"What? I didn't do anything" he said innocently.
"Sure, whatever" she snorted, then grinned.
"Back to school tomorrow, what fun"
"Yay" Remus said sarcastically "SCHOOL ROCKS MAN!" Ginny burst out laughing, while Remus chuckled.
"I've never seen Rem so happy, it really puts a smile on my face, knowing how happy he is" Charlotte said to no one in particular, surveying the two lovers over the rim of her cup. Zak and Marie nodded in agreement.
One thing was for definite, those two were in love and it looked like nothing could tear them apart!
