Chapter 9:

Harry and Tonks froze on the spot, they knew that anything they did would make her suspicious that there was something wrong, they knew that she was a smart women but they also knew she was about to get the shock of her life.

Inside the bedroom, Lupin was softly moaning and Ginny was panting, the heat and passion between them increasing, locked by the lips and the hips they fought each other for control. Ginny started to bite her lip as Lupin planted a love bite on her collar bone, and then he started to kiss her neck and sucking on her ear lobe as Ginny moaned his name.

They did not hear the footsteps getting louder and closer to the room, they were to busy concentrating on the connection between themselves and their will not to scream out in pleasure.

Tonks and Harry saw Mrs Weasley stop at the door but as she put her hand on the knob, she suddenly stopped.

"What's happening in there, it sounds like someone is in pain," Mrs Weasley said, as she started to hear soft moaning come from within the room.

Harry and Tonks looked at each other terrified with the thought of what was about to happen.

"I'm sure it's probably some music or something Molly, he probably does not wish to be disturbed." Tonks said hoping to distract Mrs Weasley from what she figured was actually happening in the room.

Mrs Weasley heard a voice moan out an incoherent word and stood shocked racking her brain to where she new the voice, she placed it but disbelieving her conclusions, looked over at Tonks and Harry, with a worried expression. She stopped worrying about who she thought it was and focused on the thought of someone being in pain.

When a louder cry came from the room, she could not contain herself any longer she lunged at the handle before Tonks could stop her she was face to face with something she never thought she would ever bare witness to. Lupin had someone in bed with him, she wanted to close her eyes and back away but was frozen to the spot as she realised who it was underneath him panting and moaning.

"Ginny," Mrs Weasley said in disbelief hoping and praying she was wrong.

Ginny and Lupin had finally heard her and froze dead in their tracks, as they tried not to look around and see what they had heard.

Tonks tried to pull Mrs Weasley out of the room and was not successful on the first or second try, but in the third with Harry's help they were able to remove her from the room and close the door behind them, Mrs Weasley fought it but eventually let them lead her to the lounge room and sat her down, making sure she was not going to pass out or run in there and kill Remus.

When Remus and Ginny heard the door close they stared at each other in disbelief hoping that they had just imagined hearing Molly Weasley's shocked voice. They very slowly kissed each other and sat up in the bed, both in shock, Lupin got up and put some clothes on and asked Ginny not to worry, he handed her one of his shirts when they couldn't find hers and cleaned themselves up a bit, brushing their hair. Then grabbing each other's hand they headed for the door, to face the unknown. Stopping for one last passionate kiss before they left the room.

Lupin looked at Ginny, who he could tell was just as frightened as he was not knowing what would happen next or what they would say.

They gripped tight on each other hand and walked out of the room and towards the lounge where they could see Tonks.

When Lupin and Ginny walked into the lounge room, Harry offered them all something to drink and was given a nod by Tonks to go and make some tea. Harry took the nod and disappeared into the kitchen thankful that he had an escape from what was happening in the next room.

"Molly, we didn't mean for you to find out that way." Lupin said a little shaky.

Mrs Weasley just glared at Lupin and Ginny, in disbelief of what was not only coming out of his mouth but the reality that it was actually Ginny sleeping with him.

"Mum, please don't be mad at Remus, he tried to stop it from happening but I wouldn't let him go." Ginny stepped in to say, slowly squeezing Lupins hand.

"It wasn't because of Harry you were in the hospital was it? It was because of him," Mrs Weasley said in shocked with realisation.

"That's right mum I was there because of Remus trying to stop it from happening again." Ginny let slip again, and hoped that her mother had not realised.

Mrs Weasley just kept staring, "This is wrong, very wrong, and you had sex with my daughter." She yelled at Lupin.

Ginny and Lupin cut in before she had a chance to scream anything else at them.

"No, we made love, because we love each other." They said in unison, not knowing what damage they may have just caused.

"Ginny, you don't even know what the meaning of love is." Mrs Weasley barked.

"And you, how could you do this to her, she is young and impressionable and you made her think you loved her." Mrs Weasley started to rant.

"I do love her," Remus barked back.

"And I was in hospital because I loved him so much that when we were apart I couldn't stand to live anymore." Ginny yelled, getting frustrated.

Mrs Weasley got up, redness grew fast in her face, "Don't you talk to me like that Ginerva I don't like this and neither with any of the family so do yourself a favour and choose now what is more important to you." She said, walking towards the door.

"If you choose him over your family you can come and get your stuff tomorrow and leave, if you choose us I expect you at the house tomorrow night for dinner. I will not discuss this with your father until you have made your decision, choose wisely." And with that she was gone.

Ginny broke into floods of tears and Lupin pulled her into a tight embrace to try and comfort her.

Tonks just stared blankly at Harry who had not long returned from the kitchen with refreshments.

Remus helped Ginny back to the bedroom so that they could discuss what they were going to do.

They sat on there bed and held each other tight, Lupin knew in the back of his mind what needed to happen but did not want to loose Ginny, and Ginny wanted to try and convince her family of there love for one another, but knew that if she stayed with Remus that she would have to say good bye to her family.

They were torn in two about what to do, they spent the rest of the day not speaking but kissing and making love as if there was no tomorrow and that it was the last day they would ever be together, neither of them wanted to think about what choices they had to make, they just knew that they needed to be with each other for that moment and never let go.

Remus had fallen asleep with Ginny in his arms, within his dreams he was happy, remembering the time they had spent together.

Ginny's eyes were open, and she was alert and awake, she tried not to think about what she must do, she moved Lupins arms and slid herself off the bed so not to wake him.

Ginny walked over to the small table in the corner of the room and started to dress, she then got a piece of parchment out and a quill and started to write a note, a tear came to her eyes as she sealed the note an hour later. She then took a cd out from her small night bag and placed it with the note on the bedside table closest to Lupin, then bending down she kissed his lips, gently so not to wake him, and then she was gone.

Tonks and Harry had made a decision that day too; they would stick by their friends in whatever choice they made but as individuals not as a couple. They never wanted to have to go through what they saw their friends going through and decided that it was not the right time to be together, that as much as they loved each other it was time to let go for now and if later in life fate and destiny was to step in and place them together, or gave them a sign that they would take that sign and never look back.

Lupin woke up an hour later and realised that Ginny was no longer in the bed; he rolled over and sat up on the edge of the bed when he noticed the note and the cd.

Not sure what was inside he reached over and picked up both the note and the cd.

On the cd was written to Lupin, with love.

When Lupin got his wand and broke the seal that had been placed on the parchment, he saw Ginny handwriting. The note was short and to the point,

Remus, My love,

With this note you should find a cd like the ones we use to listen to, please listen to it,

I can not put into words how I am feeling but the one thing I do know is that no matter what life will bring or what roads we choose, one day it will lead me back to you. I love you Remus and I always will, never forget that, please don't come after me, if I need you I know where to look, please understand I didn't want to do this, but it was the choice that was the hardest to make, and the choice I know I needed to make even if I didn't want to.

Your Love has given me the world, Ginny.

A tear ran down lupins cheek as he folded the letter up and put it back on the table, he held the cd in his hand and conjured the cd player Ginny had given him, he placed the cd in and waited for it to load wondering what words in song he would hear this time, he knew it was the easiest way to express a feeling and the easiest way to hear what you knew you didn't want to.

The cd loaded and lupin followed the directions, he played the song listening to the words as he sobbed quietly.

I will remember you,

Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by,
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad,

How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun, Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so tired but I can't sleep, Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word, We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose, Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night, You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

When the song finished Lupin just sat there, he knew that this was what was meant to happen, but he felt selfish as he thought how much he wished she had chosen him. Another tear fell from his eyes and he crawled back under the covers with the song on repeat low in the background.

In an unknown house Ginny lay on a bed and cried herself to sleep, she wished she could go back in time and change what had happened, not that she had fallen in love but how they had handled that love after they had found it.

Back at Grimuald place Harry packed a bag and kissed Tonks goodbye, telling her that this was not the end but the beginning, and just another adventure in life. He smiled weakly at her as he apperated out of the room and left Tonks sat on the bed with a tear running down her face.

Harry turned up to a house he knew would be empty, a place that only very few people knew about.

He placed his belongings in one of the three rooms of the house and was walking back to lock the house up when he spotted a dim light coming from one of the other bedrooms.

Harry decided to investigate but before he did he finished locking the house and putting his belongings away.

An hour after he had first spotted the dim light, he was stood outside the door with his hand on the knob, turning it slowly to not disturb anyone who might have been inside. As he opened the door the light grew slightly brighter, he could see a lit candle and a figure curled up on the bed, when he got closer he recognised the figure to be Ginny Weasley and wondered why she was their, then it dawned on him to what must of happened.

Harry did not disturb Ginny instead he backed out of the room slowly and quietly so as not to wake her and headed back to his room to send an owl to Grimuald place.

When Hedwig arrived at Grimuald place she flew in a window and sat in front of Tonks with an outstretched leg.

Tonks took the rolled up piece of parchment noticing Harry's handwriting.

Dear Tonks,

I know I was going to give you some time and I still am I just wanted to warn you that Lupin is alone, Ginny is here where I am and is ok as far as I can tell, she is sleeping soundly.

Please let Lupin know that she is ok and that I will watch over her for him.

Love Harry.

Tonks read the note twice and then responded quickly.

Harry,

Thank you for letting me know, please tell Ginny that I will look after him and if she needs anything that I am here for her.

Tonks

When Harry read the note he smiled and turned in for the night.

After tonks sent the note she walked up to Lupins door and heard faint music coming from within, she knocked gently and proceeded to enter.

Remus was no longer on his bed but crouched in the corner of the room, his head on his knees sobbing quietly.

Tonks went over and gave him a hug telling him about the note she had just received. Lupin looked up, his face stained with tears.

"Thank you Tonks, she did what I knew she had to do but, I can't help but feel like an idiot who just let the best thing in his life walk away, I love her and I need her."

Tonks nodded and told him what Harry had said to her before he left about fate and destiny and finished by saying that if you let them go and they come back then the bond will be stronger, sometimes you just have to let fate and destiny take over, remember the good times and you will get through it.

Tonks then got up seeing that Lupin needed to be alone with his thoughts once more, she walked out of the room and turned in for the night dreaming of a cave she knew very well.

The next day Ginny woke up to the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen, she wondered if she had dreamt everything but then focussed on her surroundings, she got up and got dressed and then made her way to the kitchen to find Harry placing food and plates on the table.

When Harry saw Ginny he smiled weakly and said good morning asking her to join him for breakfast.

Ginny agreed even though she did not feel like eating or wish to converse about her decision. She sat down and picked at her food as Harry told her that he had arrived the night before and why he was there.

After breakfast Ginny returned to her room, she had thanked Harry for the food and asked his permission to stay there as long as she needed too, he told her it was fine and that if she needed anything that all she had to do was ask.

She had thanked him for his kindness and then they discussed the fact she was going to be somewhat expected for dinner at her parents house that day and asked him if he was going. He said he was going and that he didn't know what was going to happen but let her know he was there for her if she needed him.

She prepared herself for that night, she sat and read through some of the old letters that Lupin had either put in her bag when she was not looking and she would find them when she went to get a book out, she found them in places that she went nearly everyday and she thought how sweet he was, a tear came to her eyes as she read one of the first few that he wrote.

Beautiful,

Last night was the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life, I have never felt this way about anyone else and am so excited to see you again when you can break away.

I know this is different and I know I have more experience then you in life and a lot of things but I am glad you are allowing me to experience new things with you.

I miss you. Until we meet again.

Handsome stranger.

They had given each other nicknames so not to be found out, she felt good inside if only for a moment, then she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the encounters they had.

Ginny woke up a few hours later she now only had 2 hours until she was expected at the burrow and decided to take a shower and make herself look presentable.
