Chapter Eight

The weeks started to go by. Lily was stil being teased by other students. Remus hadn't really given it much thought after he sent off the letter. Until the day he got the reply. The owl landed in front of him and he took the letter. He stared at it for awhile before finally opening it. He slowly read:

Hello Remus, I never would of thought you would of been the DADA teacher at the school. Good luck and I do hope this job last you awhile. As for Lily, you know who she is named after. That day was horrible when it happened. I was left all alone and you were gone. I didn't know where you had gone. I thought you might not of cared after everything that happened. I am sorry I never told you. Please keep her safe, she is the only one I have left. I'm sure we'll see each other soon. Love Emily

Remus read it a few times, before looking down the Gryfindor table. He saw Lily sitting next to Ginny. They were talking and laughing. He put the letter away in his pocket. He looked down at Dumbledore. He got up and moved down next to Dumbledore, who turned and looked at him.

"Did you know?" Remus asked, looking down at Lily.

"I knew Emily had a daughter," Dumbledore said, with a smile, "I thought you knew too."

"I didn't," Remus said, "I should of known. I should of never left."

"Maybe this year is the time to go back," Dumbledore said, "she did move out of Sirius's old house and moved back in to hers. She is stil there."

Remus nodded his head and went back to his seat. He kept glancing over at Lily.

Lily had also got a letter that she opened and read:

Don't worry about the other students. They are just jealous cause you know something they don't. Also, say hello to Remus. I never told you who your father was and I'm sure you really want to know. Just ask him, I'm sure he has figured it out. love always, Mommy

Lily looked around with a smile. She got up and left the Great Hall. She went Remus's class and waitted for the class to start. Remus got there a few minutes later. He stared at her as he walked into the room.

"Hello," Lily said with a big smile.

"Did you get a letter from your mother?" Remus asked.

"Yes, I did," Lily said, "she said you know who my dad is."

"Yes, I do," Remus said, with a smile.

"Well than," Lily said, standing up, "who?"

"Me," Remus whispered.

Lily stared at him in shock for a few seconds, before smiling and giving him a hug. He looked down at her, a tear running down his face.

"Are you going to be home after school?" Lily asked, sitting back down.

"I don't know," Remus said.

"I'm sure my mom won't mind at all," Lily said, "she has been rather lonely all these years."

Remus just smiled and went to the front of the class. The other students started coming into the classroom. He continued his class as he normally did. After, he sat at his desk to write another letter. He would pause every now and than and smile. He finished and went to send it off. He sat there and watched as the owl flew away. He had to hurry back to his next class, which were the 3rd years. He sat there teaching normally until the door opened. Everyone turned around to look but only a big black cat entered the room. Everyone looked around and started whispering. The cat moved to the front of the classroom. Remus stared at the cat a bit shocked. The cat walked passed him, and leaped up on his desk. The cat turned to the class and slowly changed.

"Boy, do I remember this room," a familiar voice said.

Remus shook his head and saw Emily sitting on the edge of the table.

"How did you get here?" Remus asked, with a smile.

"I ran here," Emily said, "surprised?"

"Not really," Remus said, "I'm teaching though, so you're going to have to leave."

"How about this," Emily said, "I'll stay here, while you go get me a drink."

Remus stared at her for awhile before rolling his eyes. He waved his wand and a glass of water appeared. Emily took the water and drank it. She put the cup back on the desk. She looked around the room and she stared at Harry, who seemed to be staring right back at her. She gave him a smile, before looking at Remus.

"You really should go now," Remus said.

"Fine," Emily said, giving him a sad look, "I'll talk to you later than."

Emily looked around at the class at the students, who were just staring at her. She just smiled as she walked passed Remus, who stared at her as she left the classroom.

"Isn't that Sirius Black's wife?" someone asked.

"No," Remus quickly said, looking around the room, "where did you hear that?"

"Reta Skeeter," they said, "Daily Prohpet."

"Lets move on now," Remus said, "where were we?"

The class continued without any further interuptions. He kept wondering why she was here.
