A/n For those that wished Remus had a better life, some changes. He will still try to mess it all up, but let's hope all will be better. Things will start happening, be ready for big twists.

A Gallant Wolf

Elly just finished talking with her mom. She was very upset because she knew that Remus was hopeless, and she was sad to be pregnant again without a husband. Her mother had told her not to cry anymore that it was fine to be pregnant, and that she had done the same with her father.

"Elly darling, you have money of your own. You have one of your grandfather's homes, plus two trust funds, a respectable fortune. Remus doesn't need money to marry you."

"Mom, you tell him that, but he is too proud, thus he will not marry me unless he can support me in the style that I'm used to, whatever that is. Right now, I don't know whether to stay or go. "

A Cunning Wolf

Moony had a plan, tomorrow would be a full moon, and he had been studying for three months while Remus slept. He was ready, while Remus had dozed off, he dropped the control potion inside Remus' tea.

Moony dressed nicely in Muggle clothes, borrowed the Mercedes, and drove to the small church in the nearby village. He talked to the old priest. Moony had been there a few times when he had bamboozled Remus. Remus' old nurse was from the old religion, and Moony had used Remus' memories.

Moony put his more sorrowful face, he wore his dark glasses to hide his eyes, "Yes sir, that is my situation. I am Catholic, and she is from the Anglican church. Her parents don't want us to marry in the church, mine that is. We will soon be going back to England, and she is four months pregnant. Hence, I would like to marry here before we go, but we don't have all the papers that we need." At that point he proceeded to give the priest a pouch full of gold coins.

"Father, I know that you have a mission to feed the poor children of the village. They told me you give them their breakfast before school. I want to help, and I know that you don't have much money, so why don't you take this, I have enough."

That was the winning argument, so they made a plan for the next day. The priest would get him the witnesses, buy a few flowers, and he would marry them.

"I will do it, but you must promise to send the license and everything else when you arrive to England."

They shook hands, he stopped by a local jeweler to pick up the wedding bands, and he was ready for the next step, Elly.

"Elly, darling, should we go for a walk?" This morning Remus was behaving particularly amorous.

He slid his hand inside the elastic waist of her skirt. In no time his finger was caressing between her thighs, opening her folds.

She could barely walk. "Don't be so naughty," she told him laughing.

Moony the actor was about to have a heart attack; it was the first time that he was in control of touching Elly, but he let go of her because his next words, might get him in trouble.

"Elly, my love, stop. I need to talk to you." He stopped walking, "Look at my eyes."

She did; his eyes were the color of gold. When he smiled she noticed his long fangs.

This was not the Remus that she knew. Now that she noticed, his hair was longer, he ooked a bit feral and a bit rakish.

He made a courtier's deep bow, "Nice to meet you my dear lady," she giggled.

"Don't laugh, it is the first time that you talk to me face-to-face, I am Remus other self. I am Moony, nice to meet you."

"How can that be?"

"It just is." Moony made a gesture indicating that he had no other explanation.

"We are two beings. Right now he thinks he's only a werewolf but he's not. He is a shifter. My darling I know that you're pregnant. He probably know it as well, but he doesn't want to accept it. You and I know that he will never ask you to marry him unless he feels that he deserves you, and he never will. He will always find reasons."

"I know." She sounded defeated.

"No, no darling, don't be sad my love. I have a plan, would you listen?"

He looked so devious that she had to giggle.

"Please listen carefully." He told her his plan.

She liked this Remus-Moony, a very bad wolf.

"it will only be for a while. So if he tries to run away or back out, then we will tell him. Otherwise, he will never know. He is foolish, but he is a Gryffindor and will stay by his wife. What do you think darling? Tomorrow, we pretend the entire day, until you slip the contents of this vial inside his tea."

She looked very happy, "I like your plan, we will do it." She squeezed his hand.

"May I kiss you?"

"Of course you may kiss me, but first I want something else. Would you like to chase me?" She started running and laughing.

"Naughty, naughty," he laughed and went after her.

He finally caught up with her and threw her on the ground. He was playful and a little rough, but she liked it. She was laughing so hard that he couldn't catch her mouth.

During the play she looked into his eyes, they were so full of love that she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Moony was in heaven, her lips were always delicious, but now more than ever. He kissed her nose, forehead, ears, neck, shoulders, and chest. He lowered his head to her breasts, moved her blouse and lifted his head to ask, "May I?"

She nodded, already burning for him. He uncovered her breasts with great care, "So perfect," they would fill with milk for the pups one day soon. He sucked gently while his hands caressed her body.

Her hand went inside his trousers, and he slapped her.

"No, I am courting you." He growled.

"Darling," she chuckled, "I am pregnant by you."

"Still, this is my first time."

She loved Remus' Moony, the wolf was Remus' uninhibited, naughty, gallant side, a cunning wolf.

Frankie was calling them, they laughed.

"He will be back in a few. Tell Frankie the day after tomorrow."

The next two nights Remus slept hard.

Two days later - morning after the full moon

Remus woke up feeling very tired, he had never made it to the confinement place. He wasn't sure if he were still not in control. Why was Elly stuck to him, kissing his chest?

Why was he in bed? He could have hurt her. The room reeked of sex. He wished that he could remember. It smelled rather yummy, the reminders of making love to her, no, no. What had he done?

"I love you so very much. I love you, here kiss me," Elly whispered.

She was already straddling him. Remus wasn't about to say no, but, "When did I come here?"

No answers, just kisses; when she raised her body and slowly lowered it over his arousal his mind went blank. Feeling her heat, his body connected with her, was the best ever.

All throughout the morning, Moony was quiet as a mouse. Well, relatively quiet that was. Moony kept whistling wedding marches. Soon, Remus nerves were on an edge, he knew that Moony had done something.

He stood by a window drinking tea when Elly came and kissed him.

"I told the children, they are super happy." Her face glowed.

He was confused, "What did you tell them?"

"Are you being silly? I told him that we are getting married what else?" She stretched her hand. He looked, she wore a lovely ring.

Now Remus knew that Moony had done something to him. Nevertheless, he hugged her and lifted her chin.

He was about to reply, but in that precise moment the children came in, and started hugging and kissing him.

Hermione said, "You going to be my uncle. I knew, I knew it !"

Frankie kissed his leg, "I am so happy I am so happy that you're going to be my daddy."

Evie wrapped her short arms around him.

How was he supposed to say otherwise.

Now, they were all dancing around him, and he didn't have the heart to tell them no. They sang, "We the pixies love Frankie's and Evie 's daddy, uncle Remy, the bestest of them all."

What the hell, it was a done deal, he was as good as married to Elly, no time to regret it. For the moment Moony was still able to control Remus, it was still close enough to the full moon. Moony looked at Elly and winked, "I love you Mrs. Lupin."

"I love you 'two,' Mr. Lupin." He held her tight. For a moment they forgot the children.

Sirius is Next

There was a commotion by the main entrance to the living area. Maddie had arrived.

Sirius, was in shock. She had told him, "school first," so what did this mean?

A few minutes later she told him, "Sirius, I need fresh air, come with me."

They were outside, alone, "I have quit school. I have finished my master and I wanted a second one, but I don't need it. Instead, I will do some work from here."

He couldn't even speak, he was afraid of her next words.

"I want to be near you; I had to come back, I missed you too much."

The last reservation that he felt, fell away.

"Do you really want to be here with me?" Sirius was hoping.

"Yes I do. With you, I feel complete."

Sirius kept nodding.

"I guess," she added, "we need to break the news slowly, my mother will start making plans."

"It's fine by me, I was so afraid to love you, but I guess I understand James now. You cannot help who you love. I know it's too soon, but I was going to ask you the next time. I was just afraid what you'd say."

He took her hand and kissed, "I am not afraid now, will you marry me, Maddie," he went on one knee, his face hopeful.

"I will tell you in fifteen minutes; I need to think," she smiled coyly and touched his face.

He looked upset, "Ah, sorry, it is a misunderstanding...you were saying..."

"Stop, you are silly , I was playing hard to get, just for 1/4 hour. Never mind, it was not a nice game. I do, I do, I do! I love you."

He picked her up in his arms and went around with her in circles. Those stuck to the windows grinned.

The children saw them and ran towards them. Each was yelling a version of, "Uncle Siri, Frankie and Evie have a daddy," when they realized that it was Maddie.

"Auntie," the children ran faster.

The adults were gathering, they came out after seeing Sirius spinning Maddie.

"I have a daddy," Frankie yelled, and Evie second, "M' daddy."

Remus and Ellie were right behind.

Draco added, "We found them, and then they were about to smooch, and, hmm, maybe they were going to take a nap like when my Daddy smooches Mommy." Of course he said it at the top of his lungs.

"He might have been about to touch her bum, the hand here, gross," Hermione added pointing behind her.

Everyone laughed, but Elly and Narcissa turned bright red.

Harry's announcement was equally loud, "My aunt Elly is marrying Mr. Uncle Remy. Maybe they'll have a baby."

Now Remus blushed, not maybe, for sure.

A double wedding or is it a triple with Kelly? Remus was thinking. The celebrating went all night long.

Meanwhile, Remus had the nagging feeling that he had already married the day before, but that wasn't possible. Or was it? Moony, why do I feel married already? When were we in an old religion church? I remember being in a church. Moony?

Of course, he thought, not a peep from that dangerous, double-dealing, untrustworthy, miscreant, dirty wolf. He heard a little snicker, and then, pure silence.

He started packing early. Moony panicked, he hadn't hidden the marriage certificate well, planning to do it in the evening. Last night they fell in the bed as soon as the door closed.

Too bad that Remus was so peeved, he was difficult to control without giving up his cover. Just as Moony feared, later that day, Remus found the marriage register.

Remus nearly had a fit. Moony where are you?

Here, you would have waited forever. No, no more silliness coming from you. Nobody knows but us, so you better upset our Elly, she loves us. We are married, and I tell you, she loves us, how lucky for us, she loves man and wolf. If you must know, that was what drove me to do it. Be warned, I won't let you hurt her or our pups. So, don't make me do something extreme.

Remus realized that something had changed; Moony was different. Remus understood, Moony was very strong, and now understood that Wolfbane was a joke.

Moony would always win in the end. Moony was the ultra Marauder, he had Remus qualities, was feral, and didn't have Remus baggage. Moony was now so strong that he could bury Remus in the background.

When Remus saw Elly, his heart expanded. He wasn't alone, no more. His wife, his wife, he made a vow never to hurt her intentionally, she had enough of it.

"Moony told me, I love you Mrs. Lupin, I know that I am lucky."

She held him, "I love the two of you. I am the lucky one."

The next day everyone started to pack. Sirius felt complete. He would tell Severus, but he wanted time alone with Maddie. Severus could join them during one of the hols.

Wallburga was so happy that she glowed. She was about to die months ago; now she had a son, soon a daughter, new friends, and a new big family.

Maddie would go to the French villa in wine country that nobody knew about it, and they would be safe there. The weddings would happen as soon as possible, maybe for Valentine's Day first. But thinking about Elly's pregnancy they decided to marry the first days of January.

The Guardian

At the Star Manor, the ex-dementor continued to change, his red eyes, would change to colorless on and off.

He was hungry and remembered about real food, so he changed into a favorite creature, a small grey hawk that flew out to hunt dinner. Later, he came back and started touching everything.

His 'angel' was a pixie, a far relative of his, nah, she wasn't, now, Angel Mimi Pixie, was young. He wondered around the big place, avoiding old doors into bad places. He knew the dangers inside them.

There in the middle of a room full of young angels' warmth, he saw an in-between hofull and he peeked. he saw the old human from before. He lay in the cold room, interestithe, but too bad, the human was too big for the hole.

He went back to Mimi's room. Hmm, his angel wanted the old human here. He was tired, and her bed held her warmth and her scent of goodness.

The narrow winged grey creature went inside Mimi's bed to dream of her. It was nice, even better with his belly full with warm prey.

At the Loire, Mimi woke up. She went by Harry's bed and sat next to him, "Arry, Arry," she tried to open his eyes.

Harry sat in bed fully awake. "When are we going back? I have an idea." She asked.

"To Opa's castle?"

"It isn't a castle, is the Star Manor."

"It is so, Opa and Oma are royals, I know it. They are royals all of them. Pèperè Serpens has this big castle. He might be a king or something." He looked at Hermione, challenging her.

Well, that made sense, this was a real castle. "Maybe you're right, some call Opa, "My Lord."" Besides, she had seen the circlets worn by many in the old pictures. Mimi like that Arry was so smart.

Harry still wished that Dudley could see him living with royals, and see how much they loved him. But maybe not, if they saw how well he was, like in the telly, they might want to take him away.

He was very cold and afraid and started crying. The old fears hunted him once in a while.

"Mimi, maybe 'they' will take me back to the nasty place. It was bad."

Hermione was afraid for him, what if the rude big boy came with his nasty parents and took her brother. She got in bed with Harry, both afraid.

A grey creature felt his angel's distress, her fear formed a link that he followed. He found her, so warm, and the one next to her, oh no. He saw a thread, from the ones in the bad place, connected to the other angel.

No matter, he had learned much, and would avoid them this time. He might be able to cut the thread. His long spindly finger glowed before he touched the angels' foreheads, pulled their fear out, and was going to eat it.

Old habits die hard, he shook his head, no, no, this was the way to the others. He flung the fear away from them and burnt it with his blue fire.

He lay on the pillow in-between both angels. They were so warm. He wanted to sleep but first made sure that he was a shadow, and just in case a tiny gray bird.

Greyback Fortress

Fenrir couldn't sleep. What he had found out, better, what he hadn't found was troubling. The one he thought guilty, probably wasn't.

He wanted his father back, frozen for decades mourning his mate and all the murdered ones. He wanted to find out who was the guilty one.

His sister's grave was empty, all left were the bones of small rodents and clothes. The children's bodies were also gone. How could that be? He tried his magic, and what he saw left him puzzled.

a/n as always as long as there is interest in the stories I will continue. I love FF but need time for my own work. Best of all.
