Chapter nine everyone, I hope you enjoy. I owe nothing but Grace and Johnny, I'm sorry to say i keep forgetting about poor Johnny. Anyway on with our wonderful adventure!

Christmas came faster then I expected and the next thing I knew I was curled up in front of the fire place with a cup of tea.

Presents were scattered around the room that still had to be sent to the boys and various friends. Some laid unwrapped and others had been wrapped and unwrapped so many times Grace had finally just given up and stopped for the day.

The fire in the fire place turned green then Remus stepped out. Grace stood up and tried to hide her baby bump from his view.

"I've just spoken to Dumbledore," Remus whispered "He says i should not be mad at you and that i should forgive you. I am so sorry Gracie, no matter what Sirius did to you i shouldn't take it out on you or this baby."

Grace threw her arms around his neck and clung to him as he accepted the hug. She jumped when the baby gave a hard quick into her side. "Orion, be nice to your mommy."

Remus blinked, "It's a boy?"

Grace shrug her shoulders, "I don't know, I don't want to know the sex yet. If it's a boy his name is Orion Mathew and if it's a girl her name is Rose Lillian."

"After Lily," Remus whispered as he smiled lovingly

"Would you like some tea?" Grace asked quickley as she turned for the kitchen. Remus grabbed her arm and lead her over to the couch.

"I know where the tea is," he said as they sat down "I didn't come just to tell you that it wasn't your fault. I also came to tell you that...Black sent a broom to Harry, a Firebolt."

Grace frowned and whispered "Is there something wrong with the broom?"

"Well," Remus started "Not that we've found but we are checking for everything.

"Remus, Sirius would do a lot of things. But harming his godson is not one of them." Grace said "Remus you have to believe me,"

Remus looked at her sadly, "I wish i could Graciee, i wish I could."

Argh, i hate short chapters but I'm not sure if I should go straight to the day Sirius flies away on Buckbeak or something else before that. Review and help PLEASE!
