"Ginny, are you alright?" Remus asked worriedly, trying to wake her. Ginny stirred and opened her eyes.

"I had this really weird dream" she told him "I dreamt that we saw James and Lily's son"

"Uh, Gin, that wasn't a dream" Severus told her, keeping his eyes on Harry. Lupin and Black looked to Snape questioningly, who merely shrugged in response.

"Ginny!" Harry cried, dashing forward to give her a hug. Ginny immediately hid behind Remus and cowered slightly, looking worriedly to the unruly black haired boy. Harry looked at her with confusion.

"Gin?"

"She doesn't remember you" Marie told him sadly, stepping forward. She looked to her husband, who nodded and bit his lip, before turning to the youngsters.

"Could you please leave the room for a minute? We need to talk with the others" They all nodded and left, making their way upstairs and into a spare room.

"What do you mean, she doesn't remember us?" Ron demanded, looking suspicious.

"I mean that . . . three years ago, James, Sirius, Remus, Peter and Lily found out who Ginny really was. They were going to try to change the future, but we knew that the future shouldn't be messed with, so I attempted to use the memory charm on you" Max said, turning to his son. Lupin stared at him in shock.

"Ginny pushed you out of the way and took the hit herself, but uh, she can't remember anything from this time. The only thing that she remembers is when she arrived at Platform 9¾ and from then onwards. Albus used the memory charm on the rest of you, but he let myself, Marie, Zak and Charlotte know. He knew that we wouldn't try to change the future" Max finished the story, looking worriedly to everyone. They all looked so astonished.
"Wait a minute. Did you just say three years?" Hermione asked incredulously "That's impossible! It's only been three months in our time, since Ginny left"

"Obviously, time travels differently" Black muttered. Miranda, Jack, Zak and Charlotte shot him dirty looks. Black blinked several times.

"What?"

"Well, oh, it's nothing" Charlotte murmured. Black narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me what's happened"

"Oh, you mean the fact that you made a pass at my brother's girl when they were going out? You're a great mate, aren't ya?"

Marie sighed in irritation.

"That was three years ago, let it go already. Remus has forgiven him"

"Yeah, but if you haven't noticed, Ginny hasn't. She just acts civilized towards him whenever they're in other people's company"

"Yes, well. Sirius didn't get the girl because obviously, Ginny's engaged to Remus now, isn't she?" Miranda questioned. The two parents nodded. Lupin spat out his drink and stared his parents, aghast.

"Please tell me you're kidding!" Marie shook her head and smiled.

"No, we're not. We're very happy for you though, even if she is from the future"

"B-But, it's not possible!" Lupin cried "No!" Marie gave her son a stern look.

"Yes, it is possible, Remus and you're over the moon about it. Now drop it! That girl has been through quite a dramatic experience in the last few days, I don't want you making things worse for her!"

Immediately, Mrs. Weasley looked to Marie with concern and worry.

"What's happened?" Max took a deep breath and sighed.

"Two nights ago, Ginny was walking home on her own. She was attacked and raped by Avery"

Black, Lupin and Snape stopped what they were doing to stare at the man, who looked rather angry about what had happened. Mrs. Weasley and Hermione both gasped and clapped their hands to their mouths, while Ron and Harry stared at Max with disbelief. Miranda was busy wiping tears from her eyes and Jack was trying to comfort her.

"Luckily, Severus came along not too long after. He took her back to his place and healed a few of her wounds, before bringing her back home. I tell you now, if Severus hadn't have found her, there's no telling what would have happened" Max said gravely. Mrs. Weasley burst into hysterical tears at this news and Mr. Weasley, shakily tried to calm her down.

"I wonder what they're talking about down there" Ginny thought out loud. Remus smiled and pulled her into a hug. Ginny sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling content.

"I'm sure that they're not talking about anything bad" Remus told her reassuringly. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal a pair of emerald green eyes and glasses. The unruly black haired boy who resembled James so much slowly entered the room, followed by Ron and Hermione, who were looking both upset and uncomfortable.

"Hiya Gin, uh, Professor Sn-wait a minute, he isn't a teacher right now, so I don't need to call him Professor" Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Just make sure that you call the Snape downstairs, Professor, or there'll be hell to pay" Ron bit his lip to stop himself laughing. Hermione grinned.

"Hey. I'm Harry Potter; known mostly to everyone around the world as "the boy-who-lived" Harry told them all, before holding out his hand to shake his father's. James took his hand straight away and smiled.

Hermione recoiled slightly on seeing Peter Pettigrew, who was staring at her with an odd expression on his face. Harry saw this and stepped in front of Hermione, eyes narrowed.

"Keep away from her, Pettigrew" he snarled "We don't really want filth like you around here" Ron narrowed his eyes in hatred also, but Hermione prevented both boys from leaping on the eighteen year-old.

"Let me go! I bet he's already working for him!" Harry yelled. Peter's eyes widened disbelievingly, wondering how James' son knew.

Ginny stared between the two, before feeling rather faint. She leaned onto Remus for support, feeling scared.

"I feel faint" she whispered, before passing out. Lily and Narcissa screamed in alarm, rushing over to Ginny's aid immediately. Severus knelt down next to her and felt her forehead. His eyebrows knitted in confusion.

"I-I'm not sure what's wrong with her" he whispered to no one in particular.

"Wait a minute!" Lily cried, not sure whether to look happy or sad "I think I know what's wrong"

"What?" Remus questioned urgently "What is it?"

"She's pregnant" She said. Remus' eyes widened in fear; could it be Avery's? But then again, it could be his!

"How do we know whose it is?" Narcissa asked. Lily brightened up on muttering something to herself.

"Everyone, I need you to go out of the room for a few moments, I don't want the whole world to see this!"

"Can I stay?" Narcissa and Remus asked. Lily told Remus rather sternly to leave, but Narcissa could stay.

"Why?!" Remus yelled angrily.

"Please, Remus, do it for Gin" Lily pleaded. Remus reluctantly complied and left the room, muttering rudely under his breath.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"Excuse me Lupin" Narcissa said, jabbing something rather sharp into Remus' arm, before hurrying off into the room where Ginny lay. Remus looked stupidly to where Narcissa had been standing, then clutched his arm and moaned.

"That hurt! What the hell did she jab me with?" he yelped. Zak grinned.

"Bruv, I never knew that you were such a wimp!" Remus glared at him.

"Shut up!" Max chuckled, then turned to talk to Jack. Harry looked to his grandparents and his parents feeling nervous and excited at finally seeing them and having the chance to talk to them. Who should he talk to first?

"So, what's it like for us here in the future?" Miranda asked interestedly, turning to Black "Do we live near here? And are you and James still quite close?" Lupin and Black tensed when these questions were asked and looked to each other worriedly, wondering whether to tell them the truth.

"Uh" Black laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head in an apprehensive manner. James noticed this and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"What?" he demanded.

"Well . . ." he looked helplessly to Mad-Eye Moody and Mrs. Weasley, who both nodded, allowing him to tell them.

"The truth is . . . you guys are um, you're-"

"You're dead" Harry stated dully. Miranda stared at her grandson in shock, while Jack choked on his drink. Marie and Max looked to each other in alarm.

"What about us?" Charlotte asked. Lupin put his head in his hands and groaned.

"You don't want to know" he muttered.

"Remus, I do want to know! Now tell me!" Marie told him sternly. Lupin looked up, his face extremely pale.

"You died the same night as Jack and Miranda. You and dad. You were with them when it happened . . . V-Voldemort's Death Eaters. A-And you two" he whispered, turning to his brother and his sister "You both died trying to protect Lily and James from Voldemort" Everyone was silent as they let the information that they had just been told, sink in. Charlotte was trying her best to hold back tears, while Zak just stared at Lupin disbelievingly.

"Why Lily and James?" Jack questioned. Harry shrugged, feeling miserable, they didn't need to know about their future, but Black and Lupin had told them! Could they change the future now? Suddenly, Harry felt a tiny bit happier. Seeing as they now knew their future, would it be possible for Lily and James to live?

Lupin seemed to read his thoughts as he sighed and shook his head sadly at Harry.

"When they go back to the past, their memories will be erased, Harry, I'm sorry" he murmured apologetically. Harry nodded understandingly.

Suddenly, a scream erupted from upstairs.

"YEEEEESSSS!"

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"What is it?" Remus asked urgently, looking at Narcissa for an explanation.

"The child is yours, Lupin" she told him, happiness dancing in her eyes. Remus' eyes lit up in excitement as happiness inflated inside of him. He was going to be a father! He felt the grin appear on his face as he entered the room where Ginny was stirring. She opened her eyes and locked eyes with her fiancée.

"Hey" she whispered; her eyes watery with happiness. Remus pulled her into a gentle hug, before twirling her around. He laughed on hearing Ginny squeal and put her down, his eyes agleam with excitement. Ginny pecked him on the cheek and hugged him tightly.

"Let's go downstairs and tell everyone the good news!" Remus exclaimed, jumping up and down like a little boy. Ginny giggled and nodded, taking Remus' hand, making their way downstairs.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"Right, female Lupin's versus male Lupin's. Poker, right here and now" Max stated, grinning at Ginny, Charlotte and Marie "Unless of course, you females aren't up to it, you know, losing money and all. I mean, this is a man's game" Ginny's jaw dropped in offense; she glared at Max, before saying.

"We accept and we'll beat you!" she told him. Zak laughed, looking to his brother amusedly.

"You sure picked a competitive female, bruv" Remus grinned and sat down. Everyone else had decided to watch, even Mrs. Weasley and Lupin had decided to see who would win.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"Flush" Charlotte muttered, laying down her cards. Remus grinned.

"Hah! I've got four sixes! Pay up!" Charlotte rolled her eyes in annoyance, while Ginny narrowed her eyes at her fiancé.

"Ooh, that is just so typical! Men" she muttered "They're so full of themselves! Ooh, I am a man, Ooh, I have a penis, Ooh, I have to win money to exert my power over women" she mocked.

Everyone burst out laughing, while the male Lupin's looked slightly embarrassed. Marie quickly dealt out the cards, growling at Max in annoyance. Max smirked at her.

They all picked up their cards and observed them.

"Well, I've got a Full house" Remus muttered. The others laid down their cards, but none of them had beaten Remus. He made to take the chips, but Ginny stopped him.

"Ah, ah, ah, I've got a Flush" she grinned, then her eyes widened "I won!" Charlotte and Marie both gave her a high five. Remus grimaced slightly.

"You know what? I think I'm gonna make a little Remus pile" she told everyone, putting quite a few chips into a pile. She grinned and started singing.

"Well, I have got your money and you'll never see it" Remus stood up and made to walk off to the bathroom, but "and your fly is open" Remus looked down to his jeans, then looked to Ginny in annoyance. She smiled triumphantly "Ha, I made you look!" Charlotte, Marie, Mrs. Weasley and Miranda all burst out laughing. Lupin chuckled slightly, while Black looked amused. Harry, Ron and Hermione were trying their best not to burst out into hysterical laughter.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

While playing the last game, Ginny suddenly became all emotional from the hormones kicking in from her pregnancy. She became depressed and miserable.

"I think I'm going to go and have a lie-down" she muttered, standing up and making her way upstairs. Little did she know that the room she had just entered had a Boggart in it. She turned around and froze on seeing Avery. Her eyes widened in shock, how did he get here? Avery moved toward her, looking exactly the same as he did before he'd raped her. She gulped nervously, stepping backwards and stumbling slightly.

"Hello Weasley, care to have a bit of fun?" he drawled, he grabbed a hold of her and roughly pulled towards him. It was at that moment that she let out an ear-splitting scream.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Narcissa, Severus, Marie, Lupin, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Mrs. Weasley shot out of their chairs and dashed upstairs to find Ginny cowering in a corner, Avery standing over her, yelling spitefully at her and kicking her in the stomach. Lupin was in shock, how could a Boggart harm someone? Was that even possible?

Harry strode forward, looking furious. He muttered the spell and the Boggart disappeared. Remus and Mrs. Weasley hurried over to Ginny, both looking worried. Lupin watched after them with a pained look on his face.

"Are you alright?" Remus whispered. Ginny sobbed onto his chest, her hands gripping him tightly around the neck.

"I'll take her into the bedroom and get her off to sleep" he mouthed to Mrs. Weasley, who nodded, tears streaming down her face. She watched as her only daughter walked off with her fiancée to the spare bedroom. Her baby girl had grown up in such a short amount of time and now, there was no way of getting her back. There was definitely one good thing that Mrs. Weasley could say about her daughter and that was obvious-she'd chosen an excellent husband. Remus would stay be her side . . . no matter what.
