Thanks to everyone for reviewing, liking, and continuing to read Grace Potter's adventure during her life. I own nothing but Grace, Johnny, Rose, Orion, and Leanne everything else is JK's and a sentence or two belong to Warner brothers.
By the time Harry and Johnny were in their fifth year of Hogwarts you would think I'd be used to them leaving, but all the things that happened at Hogwarts during their time there seemed to make me more worried about them.
On the night of August 31st I didn't let the boys down as I hurried around number twelve finishing their laundry and cleaning out their trunks so their new things could fit. By eight o'clock that night I seemed to have done everything needed to be done about twelve times and was working on number thirteen when Remus finally stepped in.
"Grace, I think they have everything." He said as I sat on their bedroom floors repacking their trunks.
I shook my head, "I'm just checking Remus, and it would suck if I had to send something because I forgot to put it in here."
"Grace, the boys are fifteen now I assure you that they know what they need to take." Remus said as I closed both of the lids.
"Yeah that or their mother could check," Leanne said as she stood in the doorway with her arms crossed.
"Aunt Gracie does just fine Leanne." Johnny said as he pushed past her and walked over to sit on his bed.
"I am your mother; you can't call me by my first name." Leanne hissed in anger
Johnny crossed his arms defiantly and said "I think I just did,"
Before I saw her move Leanne had crossed the room and her hand landed hard on Johnny's cheek. Everything seemed to pause for two seconds before Remus crossed the room and got right up in his ex lovers face.
"How dare you hit my son, what in the world would make you think it was right for you to hit my son?"
"He is our son!" Leanne yelled back as I grabbed Johnny's face to check his cheek.
Remus's face was red with anger and even from the distance I could see the wolf in his eyes as he whispered "Get out of here Leanne, just leave."
Leanne looked at me and said "You are not that boys mother, I will be back." Before turning and walking out the door.
I grabbed Remus's hand and gave it a small squeeze as he closed his eyes to try and get a hold of himself. "You might want to go tell Albus, just in case Leanne decides to do something to jeopardize the Order."
Remus nodded slowly as he gave Johnny's shoulder a small squeeze before leaving. I turned to face Johnny again as he looked down at their floor, "Hey kid, what's wrong?"
The brown haired teen raised his head to reveal his tear filled blue eyes, "What if she tries to take me from you and dad, you'll fight for me wont you?"
My heart ached for the power to make his worries go away as I wrapped my arms around him "You listen to me very closely John Lupin, I will do everything in my power to keep you with your father."
"But…what about you?" Johnny whispered with a hint of fear in his voice
I sat down on the bed next to him "Johnny, do you honestly think I would just give you up? I raised you kid, from the moment you were seven years old I have loved you because you are an awesome kid."
Johnny sighed in relief then said "You're a great mom Aunt Gracie, " then he wrapped his arms around my waist.
I hugged him closely as Remus appeared in the door with Sirius and Harry. Harry grinned, "Where's my hug?" he asked as he pretended to pout.
"Get over here kid," I said stretching an arm out toward him.
Johnny gagged "Gross, why would you want to hug him?"
Harry got a mock hurt expression on his face before walking over and pushing Johnny off of the bed. I laughed as Harry tripped and landed face first on the floor next to his cousin. "Are you two all right?" I asked holding a hand out to help them up.
Johnny and Harry shared a look and a moment later I found myself lying on the floor next to them. "You two sirs, are mean." I said as I finally noticed Remus and Sirius were practically rolling around on the floor.
"Are you okay Aunt Gracie?" Harry asked as the boys got to their feet.
Johnny nodded, "Yeah we didn't hurt the baby did we?"
I shook my head at how sweet they were as I got to my feet "No everything's fine, you should probably get ready for bed. If you want I can come back and read you a bedtime story, or I can tuck you in."
"Aunt Grace!" the boys yelled as Ron, Fred, and George walked into the room
I laughed softly to myself as I followed Remus and Sirius downstairs. I sighed as Sirius's arm wrapped around my shoulders
"They'll be fine at Hogwarts you know; Dumbledore won't let them get hurt." Sirius whispered
I stopped walking once we got to the landing, "What if Dumbledore is forced to leave Hogwarts, what if the Ministry finds a way to make it so Dumbledore can't protect them?"
ARGH! It took me forever to write this chapter, I am so sorry that the update took so long! Getting ready for school and finishing driving school took more of my time then I thought. Reviewing is appreciated!
