Lisa: Just as an explanation one of the main inspirations for the musical chapters to be reprised. The big one was the fact me and Laura saw The Remus Lupins last night, or when I started writing this it was last night. Now I thought Alex was hot before but damn he is ten times better live! I have been waiting for this concert for like two months! I also saw the Moaning Myrtles and The Whomping Willows. I got a picture with Alex to, we're like hugging, now I don't often say cute, but it really is a cute picture.

Heather: That was longer then it should have been.

Lisa: I know I babbled.

Laura: You have every right, it was awesome!

Lisa: It so was, now everyone ya'll know what I'm gonna say... ENJOY THE DAMNED CHAPTER!

Reprise: Part Two

Lily walked back and forth holding the plates of food steady up her arms, she had gotten fairly good at doing this. Andy on the other hand didn't trust anything but her hands when holding the food and often carried the trays. Lily never understood that, she was a werewolf her abilities were enhanced even in human form, why didn't she just trust them? It just made her think of how she would be acting if she had no enhanced abilities.

She walked up and down the isles looking at the various tables for anyone who may need a refilled drink or a plate taken away. Seeing none she decided to head to the back and see if anyone needed help with an order. As she walked she spotted Andy, once again carrying a tray with too much on it. Lily could see what would happen light years before it did and she ran over to prevent it. But she was too late.

The tray tripped and Lily closed her eyes prepared to hear the loud crash, but after a few seconds... nothing. She opened them to see Andy holding the tray and rearranging a few things. Lily was confused for a moment; she had seen the tray tip almost completely on its side, why didn't it tip? But then she saw it, the trip of a piece of wood sticking out of her apron. She made a face that looked like she was sucking on a lemon and watched as Andy delivered the food and when she headed to the back she caught up with her.

"What do you think you're doing?" Lily asked fiercely, her red headed temper getting the better of her.

"What?" Andy asked innocently as she placed the tray down on all the others.

Lily looked around to make sure no one was watched and she said in a hushed voice, "you're using magic!"

Andy smiled and nodded with a look of realization on her face. "Oh yeah, that, well, yea... Yes... yes I did use magic." She said coming clean. "What's the deal? We're of age; I can use magic whenever the hell I want."

"But that does not mean you can apparate from table to table or use it to keep all the food on your tray! What if a muggle saw? Then you'd be accused of showing magic to muggles and you could get arrested or –"

"Oh come on, no one saw me, besides it just confuses them. And by the way, for the record I never once went from table to table, it was always one side of the place to the other. In secret," she emphasized the word. "Lils, no one saw me."

Lily shook her head and was about to say something else when another girl walked in. "What the hell are you two doing back here? If Steve," their boss. "Catches you back here you're both in big trouble." She said. "There are tables that need to their food and orders taken. I can't cover for you two all the time."

"Sorry, Ronnie." Lily said and gave a warning look to Andy.

"Yeah, sorry." Andy said rolling her eyes at her friend.

"Lily you should know better." Ronnie said as they walked out of the back followed by Andy.

"I know, I know, but you know how Americans can be." Lily said smirking back to Andy in a joking manor.

"Bloody colonials." Ronnie giggled back, the two girls had gotten used to each other enough to the point where they could make fun of Andy's homeland and make fun of the many piercings that covered Ronnie's ears, lip and eyebrow.

"Aw, you're just saying that because the magnet broke up with you." Andy shot back, Ronnie's ex-boyfriend, had even more piercings then she, Andy always made fun that if they ever locked lips they would get stuck.

"Well what about your boyfriend, never even seen him." She said.

"Oh trust me, he's there, and you don't want to see them together. It's some strange force their mouths are attracted to one anther and they can't separate for hours at a time, I don't know how they even breathe." Lily said.

"You're one to talk; I've seen you with James." Andy smiled.

Lily arrived at a table with the other girls still in earshot of her. It was starting to get a little busy, it was around dinner time.

Lily

May I take your order?

Andy

Can I refill your drink?

Ronnie

Shall I bring you the check?

Or do you want dessert

Lily

Our specials today are

The upbeat music stopped for a moment like a record on hold

Oh, okay

You've made up your mind then

It started again in its solid beat

Andy

Thank you

I'll be right back

Ronnie

I'll bring you the check

Lily

I'll be back with your food

The three girls walked into the back together and leaned up against the counter as they handed their orders over.

Lily

Now where were we?

Oh yes

You were making fun of me

But from what I can see

You and Remy have that disorder

Andy

Oh now we have a disorder

Lily

Yes you can't see to get your faces apart

Ronnie

Now I'm not one to pry

Lily, Andy

Yeah right

Ronnie

But I've never seen this "Remy" of yours

Ronnie was kind enough to use air quotes as she referred to him

Is he like you?

Is a he a tool?

Does he joke?

Does he poke?

Into things that aren't his

Does he take pride?

In the ride

Or horror that he plays

Lily

Oh no

He's sweet

He's kind

He's smart

Their polar opposites!

The girls took what they had gone back their for an then began to walk back out to the main area to serve the food and drinks. An old theme then came up from the steady music they once had. They all, except for Ronnie, recognized it right away as Andy rock theme she acquired last time they all had a musical day, back when they were still in school.

Andy

And what the hell does that mean

Ya little fiend

Am I not smart?

Ya little tart

The music calmed once again after Andy's outburst.

Lily

Don't speak that way

You now what Steve would say?

Ronnie (mimicking a mans voice)

I'll fire you on the spot

You can just go out and rot

I don't need this added stress

I just need some rest

Andy

He needs more then rest

Ronnie

Needs a good shag

Lily

We don't need to speak of that

Now just go on back

Work so we can end this song

It's getting really, really wrong

Ronnie, Andy

Agreed

The music stopped abruptly and the girls continued to take orders and serve the customers.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Remus walked out of the room, she had made him go home, he had stayed later then he intended. His eyes were red and puffy, he hadn't remembered last time he cried so much. Or he could but he didn't wish to relive those memories.

As he walked down the hall e rubbed his eyes and bumped into someone. "Oh sor –" He said as he look up but stopped himself when he saw who it was.

His father looked down at him with a n expressionless gaze, Remus on the other hand glared up at his with fire in his blue eyes. Remus moved out of the way and brushed pat him knocking their shoulders together. John Lupin turned around and watched his son leave. "Remus, wait." He called out.

Remus stopped in his tracks but didn't turn around, he knew he should just leave. Not listen to a thing the man had to say he was a liar, a man who abandoned him at a young age. He knew he would feed him nothing but hate and break his heart like he did all those years ago. But something made Remus stay and turn around.

"Whatever happens, Remus, you're my son, I love you. And I'm staying for you, your mother and your sister." He said.

Remus shook his head and laughed slightly. "No you're not; you're leaving, just like you did before. You don't love me; you can't stand the sight of me. You won't condemn yourself to life as an outcast for me, a werewolf's father; you don't have the balls to take the stares, the looks, and the disgust in people's eyes. You're not strong enough to endure it, so don't say you will, because we both know you wouldn't last a second as the father of a wolf." He said and then turned on his heal to walk away again.

Remus was proud of what he did, he stood up to him. He told him the truth without stuttering showing hope that he might have a father. He walked through the halls of the hospital, some people who heard their conversation and heard what he was gave him wary looks and stayed clear, but this didn't bother him. He was too busy being happy, it was amazing how he could have gone from so sad to so happy in mere seconds.

But then just as it came his happiness had faded when his mind drifted back to Charlotte. He talked to the head healer and he told him the same thing, the chances of her making it were very slim. He looked at his watch and saw that it was getting a bit late, Andy would be home from work in less then three hours. Sirius and James should already be back, they were probably wondering where he was. Same for Heather and Laura, they should be returning now or already be back.

He stepped in the elevator and began preparing for the questions that were bound to hit him when he arrived.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Heather and Laura walked down the hall to James's apartment where the two boys were currently hanging out. When they arrived at the door Heather reached down to just open it without knocking but was stopped by Laura.

"What?" She asked giving her friend a confused look. "I wanna walk in, and last I checked that included the turning of this knob."

"Shouldn't we knock?" Laura asked, of course, always being the polite one.

"Why? They never knock for us."

"Then if we do knock it would just show that we are the better people."

"But I'm not a better people." Heather said. "Why would we have to knock, what do you think they're doing?" She asked and put her ear to the door, trying to listen for something interesting.

"I'm sure they're doing nothing, it's just proper courtesy." Laura sighed rubbing her eyes with the palms of her hands.

"Think Lily knows?" Heather said eyes wide.

Laura rolled her eyes, having been Sirius's girlfriend for several years this was just preposterous. "Move," She stated and knocked a couple times before opening the door and walking in. "It's Laura and Heather." She said before opening the door all the way and walking in.

When they walked in Heather's theory was proved wrong, the two boys were simply sitting on the couch playing a game of exploding snap. "Why'd you knock?" James asked looking up at them.

"Laura thought you were doing the nasty." Heather said plopping down on the chair next to the couch.

Laura's eyes widened and she walked over. "I did not!" She exclaimed pouting. "It's just polite!"

Sirius raised an eyebrow at her as he was started by the cards in front of him exploding. "Well, anyway have you guys seen Rem yet? He had a job interview today; I wanna know how it went."

"Oh yeah that's right!" Laura said sitting up. "I really hope he gets it, he needs a job. Urg, if my parents were still alive I bet they could help him out." Laura's parents before they were killed by Voldemort were well known werewolf rights supporters. One of the things they did was help werewolves find jobs.

"Couldn't you?" James asked.

Laura shook her head. "No, I never really went to any of the meetings. I mean I helped but I wasn't as passionate I guess you could say, as my parents were. You know, I was only a kid."

"That's true," He mumbled.

"He could get a muggle job like Andy and Lily." Heather suggested.

Sirius laughed. "No, his pride wouldn't let him; he'd rather starve then abandon what he's good at for a muggle job."

"Hey," James said offended.

"Not that Lily or Andy for that matter've abandoned what they're good at." Sirius added quickly.

"Yeah, but you are right Heather, he could just get a muggle job, he knows muggle devices, heh, better then me anyway." James said with a smile.

"So, Heather," Sirius grinned changing he subject. "You were getting awfully chummy with Chris earlier." He grinned.

"Don't think anything about it, he's a dumb ass." She said folding her arms across her chest.

"Well you do like them dumb." James said with a smile.

Heather raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Heather (still in a speaking tone)

I like them dumb you say

But let us recall

Who I've been with

She began to sing.

There weren't many I'll admit

But I know one whom your description fits

He was dumb and arrogant as I recall

Shall I say his name allowed

James

I don't know what you're talking about

Heather

Oh of course you do

There was that time in fourth year

You remember don't you dear

Sirius

Prongs what's she saying

Heather

You don't know?

He was the dumbest man I can remember

He was a Quidditch player

And had three good wanker friends

He had fame

He was a name

Do you remember what he was called?
I do

His.

Name.

Was.

James Potter!

Sirius

You two went out

Why didn't I know?

James how could you

She hated me, the bitch

And I'm not a wanker

Heather

You are a wanker

And a faker

But yeah

Before Lily was in the picture

James and I had a thing

Laura

I thought we were friends

How come I never knew?

And how did you hide it

James is a prick

In the head he's sick

He tells everyone of his shags

James

That's a lie

A dirty lie

I'm noble

I can be secretive

Sirius

No you can't

You're a prat

You brag more then me

But why didn't you tell me

Laura

Why didn't you tell me?

Sirius, Laura

Why didn't you tell us?

Heather

Sirius you're being a git

Laura you're being a git

It was over four years ago

Why can't you just get over it?

Sirius

This is big news

James

Just don't tell Lily

She would kill me

Laura

I don't like to lie

James

If she does not ask

You tell no lie

And therefore

I will not die

Heather

I don't care if you say a word

James

Please don't!

I'm too young to die

Sirius sighed and the music came to an end. "Fine, I won't say anything; cuz if you died them I would get depressed and kill myself then Remus would mentally break down and live in a little cave in the woods then Peter wouldn't be able to function any longer and he would be committed to St. Mungo's." He said.

"Took a long time to say nothing." Heather stated.

"Heard that before," Sirius said with a grin.

The door opened and a short boy walked in, he had on a grin as he bounded over to the couch and plopped next to the boys. "Hey!" Peter exclaimed. "I got off for the next couple of days; unless they call me in for something that is."

"That's great, Wormy." Heather said with a smile.

"Yeah, maybe now we can do things as The Marauders again. Haven't played a group prank in forever," Sirius said, "What say you, Mr. Prongs? Should we play a prank with our long lost brother here, Mr. Wormtail?"

"I believe we shall, Mr. Padfoot, the second Mr. Moony arrives we should begin our planning."

"Shouldn't be long," Peter said. "I think I saw him walking up to the building from my window before I came in here... He didn't look good."

"Oh I hope it's not the job," Sirius sighed.

Laura gasped and covered her mouth with her hand for a moment. "What about his sister wasn't he seeing her today? Oh I hope she's in good health."

Then the door opened startling them all and they saw Remus walk in hands in the pockets of his pants. His eyes were downcast. James stood up and walked over to him, sensing something was wrong. "Hey, Moony, you okay?"

"How'd the interview go?" Sirius asked.

"I didn't get it." Remus said.

"Well how do you know, maybe you did." Laura said hopefully.

Remus shook his head and took a seat next to James and Sirius on the couch. "No, I didn't the people there acted like I would transform at that second and attack them."

"Well, no offense, Moony, but shouldn't you be used to it?" Peter asked hesitantly.

Sirius turned to him and hit him on the head. "Pete!"

"No... No... Siri he's right. I should be, but just these people were the worst. Normally people just shy away from me, give my looks, try to uphold a conversation through everything, but these people were just the worst. It wasn't that they said things but it was the disgust and loathing in their eyes." Remus said leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. "It just gets me kinda mad..."

"We can tell." Sirius said.

"Huh?" Remus said looking at him with confused eyes. "How?"

"You may be good at holding in your anger, Remus, but your eyes betray you. They're amber." Laura said when Remus got particularly frustrated, angry or any feeling gets very strong his blue eyes faded into a brilliant wolfish amber.

"Urg," Remus rubbed his eyes. "Why can't they just stay blue, why are they so stupid!"

"Wow, your eyes have minds of their own?" Heather asked with mock fascination. "And they're stupid? But I think that's pretty fair considering they are eyes."

"Shut up." Remus sighed and leaned back running his hand through his hair.

James studied his friend a little longer and bit his lip not sure if he should say anything. "Rem, is that all you want to tell us?" He asked.

Remus looked at them all with worried and expecting faces. He looked down and began chewing on the inside of his cheek. "Umm... well its Charlotte, she's um... she's..."

If you watched closely you could see the amber in Remus's eyes flicker around and glow as he stared at the coffee table. Sirius reached over and placed his hand on his shoulder, silently telling him he didn't have to say anything more.

"Um... I forgot to... I just remembered... I gotta go." Remus said getting up and failing to make a good excuse. He walked out the door and just as he stepped out Andy and Lily who had just arrived back stood in the doorway looking bewildered.

"What happened?" Andy asked.

Lisa: Mmmmm... Remy! (hugs Remus)

Heather: ... yeaaaaah...

Lisa: (not letting go of Remus) okay guys I feel pretty confident that you've all read or know what happened in book seven so I'm gonna now say why I was so upset a few chapters back.

Heather: Spoiler warning to those who haven't read.

Lisa: It was the fate of my sexy Remy Lupin! And my sexy Freddy Weasley! On the page there are actually little circles of gray where I cried and my makeup smeared. Oh my Lord I haven't cried so much since Sirius's death. It still pains me to think about my Moony...

Heather: ...There, there...

Lisa: Silence minion, okay guys review and I'm sorry for not having too many songs but to make up for it I might have a few more in the next chapter.
