Chapter 5

Flashbacks

~*~

The first full moon had been a true terror once the sun had rose. A nightmare of corpses and dismembered bodies. The muddy dirt was turned into a river of blood. The death eaters made those that survived to salvage the meat, because that's what they were eating until it ran out. Than they had to find their own source of food, until the masked wizards decided to feed them. They wanted to show the werewolves that they were indeed monsters.

Sully helped Remus to his bunk and laid the young wizard down. Sully grabbed a thin piece of straw and a needle. "Tell me about that wife of yours." he said and gently pulled the straw through a deep gash on his neck.

"I met Hermione on the Hogwarts Express. She was thirteen at the time." he whispered. "I was her professor."

Sully chuckled and pulled the needle through again. "What was the first thing that drew you to her?"

Remus hissed at the pain. He said, "Her eyes. Those beautiful bright brown eyes. They remind me of chocolate. Than her mind, her beauty and gods her loving heart."

Sully tied off the straw and stuck his needle in the safety of his bunk. He laid down on his bed next to Remus's bed. "So I take it that many people don't know of your marriage."

"Very few people know. It would cause too much trouble between our friends. Well, one of our friends. The Weasely family is the main concern. Molly Weasely has it in her head that Hermione is to marry her youngest son, Ron."

"Ah, I see. The over baring type of a woman. They want their children to fall for those they want. Not for the children to decide on whom they love."

Remus nodded his head. He closed his eyes. "My wedding was a day I'd never forget. It was every small. Only our close friends."

"Please tell. Anything to vision besides this hell. Do tell young cub." Sully closed his eyes and waited for Remus to begin.

"It was in a small church in Godric Hollow." He began.

*~Flashback~*

Severus walked up to Remus, Sirius, Ron, Harry and Draco. (They were all dressed in black robes.) Severus smirked at the shocked expressions on their faces.

"The old bat of the Hogwarts dungeons. Does hold more secrets. I'm the Pastor of this church." Draco cocked a brow. Severus was his godfather and he didn't even know. "I was and am here on Sunday mornings." He smiled at Remus. "You've finally decided to wed Miss Granger?" He nodded still in shock of seeing the man. "You're really stuck dumb." Severus gently tapped Remus on the cheek. "Snap out of it Lupin!"

Remus shook his head and his amber eyes shined brightly at the wizard. "Thank you for doing this Severus." He nodded and took the wedding cords and rings from Sirius.

"Ah here is your bride." he motioned the door.

Ginny and Hermione walked up to the men. The women smiled at the wizard. The red head kissed Sirius on the cheek.

Ginny untied her slick wrap relieving a slick lavender short belled out sleeves and 'v' cut neckline that showed every womanly curve in all the correct places. The gown stopped at her ankles. She wore lavender high heel shoes.

Ginny's hair was pulled back in a tight braid with a ribbon. She wore simple makeup that showed off her facial features. She wore diamond stud earrings and a heart shape necklace.

"You look beautiful." Sirius whispered in her ear. Ginny blushed slightly and thanked him.

Hermione untied her cream wrap relieving a simple white gown with a 'v' cut neckline and formed to body showing off her womanly curves. The sleeves belled out at her wrists and dress stopped an inch from the ground. She wore white high heeled shoes.

Hermione's hair was piled up neatly on top of her head with a special gold and red rose on the side. Her makeup was simple that brought out her facial features. The jewelry was simple with hopped earrings and a necklace with the north star that hung from a white gold chain.

Remus looked at his bride and his breath caught in his throat. He had never seen her look so beautiful. He held out his hand and they walked up to Severus.

"We are here to join this man and this woman. Is their anyone here sees just so fit that they should not be joined speak now or forever hold your peace?" he looked around and no one spoke up.

"Love isn't for the fainted heart. It takes courage, understanding, loyalty and above all faith. Marriage isn't always easy. You will have your fights, but the disagreements are just apart of life and it will make you stronger because of them." Severus smiled gently at the couple. "Hermione please place your left hand over Remus's left." Hermione placed her hand over Remus's left hand. Severus picked up a red cord. "Do you Remus Lupin promise to love and protect Hermione?"

"I do." he answered.

"Do you Hermione Granger promise to love and protect Remus."

"I do." she answered.

Severus wrapped the red cord around the couple's wrists. He picked up a purple cord. "Do you promise to understand and guide each other through troubling times?"

"We promise." Remus and Hermione answered.

He wrapped the purple cord around their wrists. He picked up a white cord. "Do you pledge your unwaving faith and fertility to each other and no other?"

"We so promise." Hermione Remus's said at once.

Severus wrapped the white cord around the couples wrists. He tied them into one knot. "Let this union be blessed," and a white light surround the cords and vanished. The cords had melted together instead of forming a normal knot.

Ginny gasped at the wedding cords. The boys looked at the cords in awe. Severus only smirked and removed the cords.

"Please turn and face each other." he told them. They turned and face each other. Severus handed Hermione a plan gold band. "Do you, Remus John Lupin take Hermione Jean Granger as your wedded wife to have and to hold for richer or poor in sickness and health till death do you part?"

"I do." Remus answered and Hermione slowly slid the band onto his left hand.

Severus handed Remus a diamond gold band. "Do you, Hermione Jean Granger take Remus John Lupin to be your wedded husband to have and to hold for richer or poor in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

"I do." Hermione said with glassy eyes. Remus slowly slid the band onto her left hand.

"I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." he told them.

Remus cradled the back of her head and gently captured her lips with his own. He slid his tongue through her parted lips and deepened the kiss. They pulled back and smiled.

"I'm please to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Remus John Lupin." Severus said with warm deep brown eyes. "Congratulations." he kissed Hermione on the cheek. He shook Remus's hand and leaned over, "If you hurt her Lupin you'll answer to me." he pulled back and handed Remus the wedding cords.

The men kissed Hermione on the cheek and shook Remus's hand. Ginny kissed Hermione on the cheek and pulled her into a big hug. She kissed Remus on the cheek. They all left the church still shocked about Snape being a pastor.

"It was special day. Hermione took my breath away. Than if I thought my wedding day was special. Oh when Hermione told me I was going to be a father was just so incredible." Remus said and smile crossed his face.

*~Flashback~*

Hermione sat in the bathroom at Grimmauld Place with a muggle pregnancy test. She'd been felling sick and was nearly two weeks late. She chewed on her bottom lip. Hermione saw two lines slowly appear on the test. She squeaked and stuck the test her pocket. She ran down stairs. She needed Draco to run a pregnancy test.

Hermione found him at the table in the dinning room with Harry. She quickly pulled out the muggle test. Draco took it from his friend and smile. "Will run a wizard's test for me?"

"Of course. Come on sweetie." Draco stood up and turned to Harry and asked, "Coming love?" he nodded and the ran up stairs to the bedroom.

~*~

Hermione laid down on the bed. Draco lifted her shirt exposing her stomach to get a better test reading. The blonde whispered a spell and waved his wand over his friend. The wand lit up white. He smiled at Hermione.

"You're two weeks pregnant." he told her. He lowered her shirt. Hermione sat up and threw her arms around his neck.

Harry picked her up and gave her a big hug. "I'm going to an uncle." He kissed her forehead.

~*~

Remus laid in the bed watched Hermione get ready for bed. She pulled down her hair from her loose bun and let her curls fall gently past her shoulder. He lifted the covers and she crawled into the bed.

"What's on your mind, love?" Remus asked and twisted a curl around his finger.

"I have some good news."

"Oh and that would be?"

Hermione's brown eyes shined brightly. She smiled. "You're going be daddy."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant." she nodded. "Oh honey that's just-" he couldn't think of anything to say. So he gently captured her lips with his own. He pulled back. "A daddy. I love you." He kissed her again.

*~End of Flashback~*

"Have you named your son?" asked Sully looking over at Remus with bright sliver eyes.

Remus sighed and let a gently smile cross his face. "Yes. John after my father and after Hermione's grandfather. Than John's middle named after me."

"John Remus Lupin. It does have a nice ring to it." Sully turned onto his side to ease the pain in his back.

"Get out of bed werewolf!" hissed a death eater and pushed Remus onto the hard muddy hay floor.

Remus gasped for air when he heard a couple of ribs brake. He had lost over twenty-five pounds. He didn't have enough muscle to support his weak bones. He was yanked off the floor and shoved out of the hut.

Remus hit the ground causing one of his broken ribs to push through the thin layer of skin. The wizard pulled him to his feet and pushed him to a pile of dead older witches and wizard.

"Skin them and salvage the meat!" he threw the knife cutting Remus on the right hand. The death eater walked away.

Remus felt a gentle squeeze from a gentle hand. He looked up and saw Sully sit down across from him. They sat in silence doing as they were told each saying a prayer for the dead. Remus holding onto the memories of his family.
