Reunions once again

�I don�t care who he is, I am not going back as long as he is there.�
�Jackie I know there�s��
�It�s Jack.�
Margaret sighed as she reached out and took his hand �Listen to me. I know you aren�t happy with any of this but don�t you think he�s just as unhappy? Missing all these years with his family��
�He didn�t regret leaving his home and family before. I heard the stories of how he betrayed his family and didn�t look back. What makes you think he didn�t feel that way with us?�
�That was different. Remus didn�t have a happy home or family here. Our father hated everything he became from the time he was bitten and, he was the first to make sure everyone knew it.�
�So because your father didn�t want him, he wanted nothing to do with us.�
�That�s where you�re so wrong. Your father loved you and your sister�s more than life itself.�
�Until he was able to get rid of us.�
�That�s not true.� Bria stated as she stood in the doorway. �The last thing in the world dad ever wanted was to send all of you away. You were too young back then but I remember the time when they had to make plans just in case the war broke out. It was the hardest decision they ever had to make because mom has no magic and you guys were so small they had no choice�
�He had a choice; he could have gone with us.�
�No he couldn�t have. He had a duty to the school and Dumbledore to keep the school and the students safe.� Bria explained.
�His duty should have been to us,� he spat back �I am not going back there and be expected to forgive him for not a living up to his duty.�
�He did, he got all of you to safety in the states instead of letting you die in either there or in the camps. I hate to say it little brother, but you have no choice. You will be going home today whether you like it or not.� Bria commanded.
�You can�t force me to go.�
�Oh yes I can you may be my little brother but all have no problems putting you in a full body bind and dragging your ass back there.�
Jack then threw himself back against the couch as he kicked the coffee table in front of him, �Fucking bitch.�
�Little Pratt!� she replied, �now come on your things already packed and by the fireplace.� she watched as he reluctantly rose to his feet and stormed past her into the other room.
As he quietly entered the front room, he looked all round seeing that there was company. �Harry, I can�t believe you did tell me about the sooner. You do realise what I�m going to have to do now.�
�Gins, you don�t have to do anything. Just go over and talk with him before you decide whether to take him.�
�And if the ministry finds out...�
�They won�t. I am all in the state and live out the remainder of their lives and not even the ministry will be able to track them. They haven�t been able to for years.�
�What about the officials in the States?�
�They have no jurisdiction on reservation land.� Bria stated as she walked into the room announcing her and Jack�s arrival, �Reservations have never been officially a part of the U.S. and they never will be. The only officials that have had any jurisdiction on the lands where the FBI and even then they have to have authorization from the tribal council before they enter. �
�How easy is that to obtain?� Draco asked.

�For the government, it depends on the crime and the council. For anyone from the Wizarding authorities, I�d hate to see one of them tried to explain they are in search for a wizard werewolf and walk away alive. The laws there will never change, that�s why dad bound their powers before he sent them there.� Bria explained.
�That�s why she would never believed he was dead.� Ginny realized.
�So that means they can go to Hogwarts with Me.� the strawberry blond girl piped in with excitement. �Once he removes the bind that is.�
�Sorry darling they can�t.� Ginny replied as she cast a glare towards her husband, �The Ministry doesn�t allow werewolves to attend school anymore.�
�What are you looking at me like that for? I didn�t make the law.� Draco spat.

�You may not have made the law but you are my brother�s chief adviser and biggest financial supporter. If you would learn to take advantage of this situation like��
�Like my father?� he asked. �Do you really want me to be what he was?�
�That�s not what I�m saying and you know it. I am just saying to use your position to gain something that our children could benefit from. �
�Ginny, don�t you think that even if he could influence your brother and a everyone else in the ministry to lift the regulations we would need to show that there are still werewolf children with magical abilities that want to attend Hogwarts again?� Harry asked

�But��
�He�s got a point Gins.� Bria interrupted. �Even though it would be wonderful to know that no matter what, Robert will be able to attend but, it wouldn�t do any good at this point. Besides who�s to say that mom and dad would even agree to letting them go? �
�Not to let them go? Don�t get me wrong Bria but Remus loved Hogwarts as much as we all did. I cannot see him not wanting to have his children go there as well.� Ginny stated.
�Which would mean they would have to become a part of this world again? Ginny, you know what restrictions are on Bria and every other werewolf that is here. Even if we attempted to change the laws again so that some of them would be lifted, we would be lucky if it were passed before they reached adulthood.� Draco paused, �Even if it weren�t to take that long to change. How many families do you think would be pleased with the idea of their children sharing the dormitories with a werewolf? �
�I don�t know Draco. Why don�t you tell me how you would feel about our daughter were sharing a room with a werewolf?� the red haired woman spat �You�re fine with us and visiting them for a few hours on special occasions But have we ever once had them over to our home? Have you ever once accepted the invitation for Regina to spend a weekend with them or even just one night? �
�I would be more than happy to have done so if your family hadn�t either made the offer first or if��
�Or what? If they were at least human?�
�I never said that! If you would have let me finish my sentence it would have been, or if they did not live on the other side of the fucking world! Merlin woman, one would think that a fourteen-year union would make you stop trying to put words into my mouth.�
�Would you two just stop it?� Harry asked, �Ginny I asked you guys here so that you could meet with Remus and give me an honest opinion of his condition. The two of you getting worked up like this before hand is not going to help with matters.�
�Don�t worry Harry, I�ve had plenty of experience separating work from personal life� Ginny explained, �We�ll go and talk with Remus and I�ll tell you if he needs care or not. Merlin I cannot believe he�s back, and with everything, we told Dannie.�
�No. Not today, not after��
�Harry, Come on now. You cannot take them back not to knowing how that his condition is. Just let me��
�Fine then don�t take us back. I don�t care.� Jack spat.
Bria turned into her brother pointing her finger at him, �I told you, you are going back if I have to curse you to get you back there.�
Harry was looking over at Margaret who simply stated, �She is the most compassionate one in her field not to mention in one of the best. You might as well get it over with now.�
He then turned his gaze upon his wife, �Bria they�re your parents, it�s up to you. �
The woman looked at her younger siblings and sighed, �I don�t know. I�I I want her healthy and to be around to see Robert and with him being home now�but�� she paused and she walked over to the couch and sat down resting her head in her hands for a few moments before looking up at the group. �If you take him away she�ll�but if he�s as dangerous as the others�Merlin, why is it my decision alone? �
Harry walked over and knelt down in front of her before taking her hands in his. �It�s not. We both know he does need to be examined and the worst case scenario is that we raise��
�Let�s get this over with.� Bria stated, �But if there is no sign that he�s harmed her in any way ��
�Then he�ll remain.� He then rose to his feet and turned to his a long-time friends, he turned to his long time friends �Draco, you, Jack and I will go first, then Bria bring the girls are unless you hear from us otherwise bring one and Ginny will bring the other.�
�What about me?� Regina asked
�You are going to stay here with Margaret and the baby.� her father replied.
�But��
�Next time you can go with. �Ginny stated, �Make sure you behave yourself while we�re gone.� She then leaned down and kissed the girl on the cheek.
The two men escorted Jack into the floo remaining on either side of him and in a flash of green flames, they were gone. As soon as they finally landed in the small living room Harry put his hand on his brother in-law�s shoulder in attempt to steady him while Draco merely stepped out and mindlessly brushed the soot off his clothing while he looked around. �You do know I really don�t feel that way about them. Don�t you?�
�I am not a werewolf and I know Bria would never dream of joining with you so really doesn�t matter to me how you feel.� he replied as he and Jack stepped out of the floo.
�I just want to make sure you know. If I could easily change the laws for them, again I would. �
�That old friend is one thing I don�t doubt.� Harry then turned to the boy, �Why don�t you check out��

�Oh gods�Remus�Don�t�.REMUS!�

Upon hearing the commotion, Harry motioned for Jack to go outside but when the boy instead started towards the other room Draco put his hand on the boys shoulder and escorted him in the opposite direction. Harry quietly moved through the room listening, as the sounds grew louder all long with the pounding of something against the far wall. He instinctively withdrew his wand and with knowing he had only one chance he took a long step into the room pointing the wooden shaft where he knew the commotion lay he shouted �Impedimenta!�
He didn�t need to look at where he had fired the curse to know the attempt was successful by the way the pounding Instantly ceased so he turned back towards the door and stepped back into the living room, �Come and help me with him.�
Then the blond man with his wand in his hand stepped back into the house leaving the boy behind �I�ve notified Ginny to let her know to come as well. This is really it then?�
�I�m afraid so. I really hoped she would have been able to help him.� Harry sighed, �When Ginny gets here will get him to St. Mungos before lifting the spell.�
�I can�t believe she didn�t floo you to say that he�d become like�� Draco stated as he walked past Harry and into the bedroom then quickly back out again. �Did you by chance take a good look at what was actually going on in there?�
�There wasn�t time to take a good look. The way it sounded was if he was hammering her into the wall. I had one shot and took it before there could have been in a more�� he stated as he peered back into the bedroom only to see his mother in law frantically trying to shake the man above her. �Oh Fuck.� he stated quietly enough that Draco could barely hear him.
�Remus please no�please not now you can�t be�oh God no. someone please help me!� She frantically cried as her voice cracked.
Harry leaned into the living room wall pressing his forehead against that as hard as possible trying to keep from banging his own had into it, �Merlin�s balls. Tell me I didn�t just do what I think I did.�
�What? Hex your father in law while he was in full rut with his mate?� Draco snickered. �That�s a classic one, even for you Snape. May I suggest you go back in there and remove it before�?�
Just then, the fireplace roared with green flames before Bria and Maggie stepped out of that. �Mum! Papa! Where Home!� the young guest instantly announced, �guess who�s got a��
Sensing the tension in the air Bria quickly placed her hand on her sisters shoulder to quiet her as she asked, �What happened? �
�Maggie?� Dannie called out �Please�please �Oh God�please call for help!�
The older of the two started heading for the room �Mom what�s wrong? Dad didn�t �� but Draco stepped into her path �what�s going on here?� she asked in a quiet growl.
�Your mate froze him.�
�HE WHAT!�
�Bria�thank god you�re here �.please help me �.your papa�he�s �Oh god Bria he�s �.�
�You had better end it now.� she snarled at Harry
�You know she doesn�t allow magic here. Do you realise what she�ll do to me when I do?�
�By the Creator Harry she thinks he�s dead!� she then peered past Draco and round the corner before pulling back and instantly reaching round Harry and grabbing his crotch �That is not something I ever wanted to see of my parents. You will go in there and end this curse now! As it is, you will be damn lucky if I ever allow you in my bed again.�
He tried to take a deep breath but with the death grip, she had on his bits, made it extremely painful to do so, so he slowly nodded his head in defeat before waiting for her to release him. As soon as she did he stepped round her, and after a brief glance, he covered his eyes with his left hand as he pointed his wand at the couple and stated �Finite Incantatem.�
It was a mere seconds before they heard a high pitch groan of ecstasy that echoed through the small house. Remus then trailed small kisses from his mate�s ear to her mouth �Oh Merlin�that �was �� but before he could finish his praises on her, she shot him off her and quickly grabbed the closest blanket wrapping it round herself as she stormed towards the door.
Harry backed up as quickly as possible as he saw the closest thing that he had to a mother storming towards him with a murderous look on her face. His backside was against the couch and the other occupants just watched as she shouted, �How many times do I have to tell you? No magic in my home!� she then grabbed the wand out of his hand and after an unsuccessful attempt to break the thing she took it along with the one Draco was holding and stormed out the front door as the fireplace flared once again in green flames and Remus was rushing into the room trying to tie his sweat pants as quickly as possible.
�Dannie�.Dannie�love you can�t �� but the screen door slammed shut before he could finish his sentence.
�My wand! I didn�t do shit and the bitch took my wand!� Draco complained.
The door slammed shut again as she re-entered her home �Hell yes I took your wand and if you are ever want to see It again I suggest you start looking for them.� Dannie stated with a deep sigh of satisfaction.
�Love, where did you hide them?� Remus asked as she walked past everyone and wrapped her arms round his waist resting her head on his shoulder.
�Well since I wasn�t able to break them, I threw them into the forest. � Upon hearing her words the two men quickly ran out the front door nearly knocking into Jack as he entered �How are you feeling? � she asked.
�Exhausted. That �you were amazing.� he replied in a whisper as he tilted her head upward and kissed her briefly.
�Would someone like to inform me on what�s going on? Specifically why my husband is now running round the forest a looking for his wand?� Ginny stated.
Bria smirked at her friend, �Harry cast Impedimenta on dad that the worst possible moment.�
�So because Harry cursed him, Draco is without his wand as well? That makes a lot of sense. �
�As upset as I was over what I thought happened, and since you guys obviously know my rules, yes it does.�
Ginny just nodded slightly, �By the way, welcome home Remus. It�s good to see you again. May I ask other then what just took place, how are you doing?�
�Thank you.� Remus replied, �I think��
�Ginny listen. He�s fine; there are no problems at all.� Dannie interrupted as she tightened her embrace on him.
The red haired woman took a deep breath and sighed, �I would rather hear that from him if you don�t mind. Is there somewhere where Remus and I can speak privately?�
�I suppose I don�t have a choice now, do I?�
�If you refuse although I would respect your decision I would have to have Harry and Draco take you back to St. Mungos until you do agree to speak with someone.�
�Remus?� Dannie questioned as she felt him remove his arms from around her.
�I don�t want to take a chance with what happened the other night happening again. If she can help me then��
�And if she can�t? What happens then?� Maggie asked.
�Let me speak to your father first then I�ll decide what happens next to. For now don�t worry about it.� Ginny replied, �Dannie is there somewhere private we can talk?�
�This is it unless you want to use the front porch.�
�Very well, I hope you don�t mind but I�ll have to cast a silencing charm then. Unless you have somewhere else where we won�t be heard by anybody.�
�You know the rules no charms and no magic.� She then thought for a few moments �other than my office at the lodge the only place I can think of would be papa�s truck.�
�You said nobody is to go near it.� Jack stated.
Ginny looked at the boy then out the window out that the beat up rusted vehicle outside the window and sighed, �Truck it is.� Dannie then led the two of them behind the house and cringed as the doors creaked when opened.
Dannie follow the two of them out of the house then remained on the porch watching as they climbed into the cab of the truck. Why was it so important that Ginny talk with him alone? She knew that in time, he would tell her everything that happened to him but it had to be his decision on when to tell her. He had told her bits and pieces of what a place and what she�d couldn�t guess at she wasn�t sure if she wanted to know or not. To force him to talk was not going to help in a thing. In her mind, they had made great progress together. The nightmares still existed, that she knew by the way he would hold her during the night but the set backs so far ceased to exist. At least so far, they had. Now all they needed were four he and the children to � �mum, why don�t you come in and get dressed. I am sure that it will be a while before they�re done. �Bria stated interrupting her thoughts.
�Why?�
�Because you can�t stand out here ��
�No. Why are you guys doing this? Why did you bring her here? �
�We were worried about you. Hell mum, we haven�t heard from you in almost a week. What were we to think especially after that morning when Harry saw the marks on your neck? �
�I explained those to him. You know what will... Are you really ready to start taking care of Jack and your sisters while in have a new baby? �Dannie asked as she walked past the younger woman and into the house.
�No we�re not. That�s why we�re doing this. Mum, I love you dad by don�t want to lose you if he happens to get out of hand again. �Bria stated as she followed her mother.
�If you take him away then �No never mind.�
�Mom ��
�Bria, as you said I need to get dressed now if you�ll excuse me.� then she closed the bedroom door in her daughter�s face. Dannie then walked into the bathroom and turned on the water, waiting for the temperature to adjust as she removes the blanket she was wrapped in. As she looked round the room she noticed the smell of sex still faintly hung in the air, not strong but the even with the breeze drifting in from the open window she could still sense it. However, he wouldn�t be able to �what really happened to cause him to lose his sense of smell? Did she want to know?
The shower water sputtered as the hot water kicked on so she stepped inside to quickly wash down. Once done she stepped out and immediately sensed something was wrong. She hastily dried herself off and through on her to clothes before rushing out of the house just in time to see him emerging from the cab again. As Remus turned and looked at her, he didn�t need to say anything, the tension was already too thick and she ran past him to the front of the truck.
Ginny remained in the truck first few moments to gather her thoughts, she wouldn�t be surprised if her lifelong friends hated her for this now just like she wasn�t surprised by Dannie who came rushing towards her pounding on the hood, �I hope you�re happy Ginerva Malfoy! You�d make your pathetic father in law quite proud of you right now. I can�t believe I treated you like a daughter! You are no longer a part of my family! If you ever set one foot on my land, again you will never leave here! Do you hear me Ginerva? Never!� The shouting instantly drew the children out of the house whilst Harry and Draco came running out of the forest, but it was Remus who went to her side and with placing a hand on her shoulder, she stopped beating the vehicle then soon the two of them were inside the house again.
The three teens sat on the porch not knowing exactly what took place other then what bits and pieces they overheard and how upset their mother was. While Bria sat with them, they watched through the screen door their father trying to comfort her, Harry stood halfway between the house and the old truck wondering if what he did was really for the best.
Ginny finally climbed out of the cab to see Draco standing near by waiting for her. �I can only guess what your decision was by their reactions. Are you all right?�
�I�m fine thank you.� she stated as she glanced over the group.
�You knew this would be a hard choice. We all did before we even came here. And sure once he receives the help he needs he won�t be so ��
�It wasn�t Remus.� she interrupted, �he took the news amazingly well.�
�It wasn�t? But, I thought the whole idea was to keep her safe from him. �
�It is but, I just don�t know.�
Draco then leaned down to look her in the eyes but she turned her head, �Gins look at me.� he paused until she did so, �I can�t ask what was said in there but we all need to know. Is Remus of threat to Dannie and their children?�
�That�s what�s troubling me. The things he�s said that happened, what he�d thought three years that he did would be enough to drive it anyone insane. I mean if I ever once thought �I�d rather be dead. I would have died.�
�I can�t ask you not to do your job but...�
�I appreciate that but I need some time to think about this.�
�Do you really believe that�s wise?�
�Draco we�re not talking about Neville here. I made that mistake once and at the cost of Luna�s life. Maybe I was wrong about questioning him so soon after we got here. May be I should have� �Ginny then looked around at Harry before waving for him to join them. Once he did she continued, �Listen, I need both of you to keep and eye on him. I have something I need to do. I�ll be back later.� she stated and before either of them could say a word she apparated away.
She appeared in a small rally just round the busy corner of St. Mungos then made her way inside and up to the ward where she worked. Each of the patient�s rooms had a viewing room where her and her colleagues could monitor them. She watched as Neville walked through the corridors and into the other room as if this was his true home. In a way, you could say that it was since he had spent so much time there. What disturbed her of the most was that every now and then he would yell and nobody. His anger and fear was such a constant thing these days that it was almost as if this was natural to him. When did he become this way? Was it completely due to the war and what he had gone through? Neville Was one of the many that he grew up and went to school with that she�s new would never see the outside world again and sometimes this bothered her.
Some of the people there, although their mental state was completely gone and under strict guard only, still had visitors. The spouses, children, parents, and friends would visit on occasion but not his. Even though they were sorry for what he became, people outside the ward were afraid of him. Ginny stepped out of the staff passageway and walked up to him as he made his way through the lobby, �Hello Neville, how are you doing today?�
�Mrs. Weasley? What are you doing here?�
�It�s me, Ginny, remember?�
�Ginny?� he asked, �I�m sorry, I really have to go. You know how Snape is if we�re late.� she followed as he then walked into one of the rooms and sat down in front of a table, �you�re not supposed to be here, or did I miss my class.�
�No he didn�t miss class. I wanted to talk to you.�
Neville just sat there and silence staring at the desk, �have you seen Luna? I was hoping to talk with her before breakfast but she never showed up.�
�What did you want to speak with her about?�
�I was going to ask her to the ball. You�re going with Malfoy again I suppose.�
�Listen Neville, the ball was a long time ago. Remember?� She asked as he closed his eyes then nodded. �Where are we Neville?�
His breathing started growing rapid before he held it and started to use his finger as it quill then tried writing on the desk as if it were parchment and completely ignored her. She then rose to her feet and started to leave he called out �do you think Hermione would mind if I slept on her couch tonight? Dean told me that he and Lavender want to be alone in our dorm.�
�I am not sure as she will or not, when I see her I�ll let her know you�re looking for her.� she sighed, �listen, I had better get going on to class. We�ll talk later, yes.�
The man before her just nodded and she walked back out of the room and into the staff passageway again to leave the building. At just a few minutes later, she was perched on top of hillside looking down at the old estate in front of her watching children run and play in the fields. Some with broomsticks and the others trying to keep up with their siblings by fault. It wasn�t until Hermione stepped out of the home when she finally made her way down and greeted her oldest and dearest friend.
�This is unexpected, and without your partner?� Hermione stated as she you hugged the red head, �so, how�s he doing?�
�Draco? He�s fine.�
�No Remus. How is he?�
�You know?�
�Of course I know. Did you think Harry wouldn�t tell Severus that his best friend was still alive after he returned?� Hermione paused and looked at the expression on Ginny�s face �You took him in, didn�t you? Is he really that dangerous?�
�You know I can�t talk about my patients without their families� permission.�
�We�re a hundred miles from anything that in any way pertains to the Ministry and the wards here equal those of Hogwarts. A little information about my daughter in law�s father is not going to harm anything.�
�I can�t,� Ginny replied, �if Draco heard I told you and not him��
�He�s so used to it he won�t think twice about It. We�ve been friends ever since you first started school. We�ve told each other every thing including when it first told you about him liking you.�
�That was a lifetime ago. I�d love to be able to tell you about this but I swore an oath.�
�Then why�d you come here without the rest of your family?� Hermione asked but Ginny just closed her eyes and took a seat on the top step of porch. �Fine then. Can I question his condition without receiving details?�

Nod

�Does he look up on healthy in any way?� silence �did he seem to be feeling all right?�

Nod

�Did he refuse to talk to you?�

shook head

�Well that�s a plus. Did Dannie seem to be afraid of him?�
�No she didn�t.�
�If she�s not afraid of him and he�s openly talking to you about what happened, then why would you be concerned?�
�Because I don�t wanted risk being wrong. If I let him stay there and something happens then I�ll never forgive myself.�
�From what you said, there are no signs that it would happen.�
�There weren�t any signs the last time either.�
�Remus is not Neville. the relationship they had this completely different than Neville and Luna�s was. there is no way they he�d be able to kill her.�
�I can�t risk that though. don�t you see? Is she dies because I left him there...�
�And what will you do if she dies because you took him away?� Hermione accidentally blurted out while Ginny�s mouth fell open. �Make the decision you want. You obviously will anyway.�
�Who? What are you talking about? You just��
�Nothing�
�It�s not nothing. you said she died when I take him away.�
Trying to cover up her mistake she replied, �It was just a figure of speech because her heart will be broken. Come on now, you can�t tell me you�ve never heard �die of a broken heart�. �
�No no no... you didn�t imply she may you said when she dies. Hermione, what�s going on here? What aren�t you telling me?�
�Nothing I can say that will change your decision I believe. go do what you have to do Ginny. Either decision you make, or already have made will have the same results that you don�t want.� then without any formal pleasantries Hermione stood up and entered the house closing the door behind her.
Ginny stand up and started heading towards the top of the hill where the edge of the wards so she could apparate away when she paused to look back at the house. She didn�t know what she expected to see, maybe some sort of movement in the curtains or something to show her friend bidding her farewell. there was none of this says she merely departed.
When she appeared with a slight crack next to the old truck, she was more hesitant on her next move. She knew now that she wasn�t welcome there. not by the man who she was to have committed, but by the woman whom she was merely trying to help keep alive and she could feel it in the air. As she moved closer to the house the tenseness in the air grew more and more to appoint she stopped short of stopping on to the porch and feeling a pushing its making her nauseous.
�Well, she�s finally sleeping.� Margaret stated from inside the house.
�Thanks for coming Mags, it seemed the more I tried to calm her...�
�No worries. Besides, it gave me a chance to see my favour brother again. Not to mention, none of you know what medicine she can and cannot take. I can only surmise what upset her such. She didn�t take the news well did she?�
�No she didn�t.� Harry replied
�You knew the chances you were taking when you brought her here and still it�s something you insist upon doing it...even knowing what the final outcome would be.� Margaret stated
�Could be.� Harry spat �we brought her here because we thought he was�.�
�Because you thought he was hurting her. You didn�t even bothered to look at what was really going on. because of your job, you concluded he would hurt her you didn�t even think of who we�re talking about.�
�Mags he was right in bringing Ginny here. I need help and is shaking keep me from...�
�But you won�t kill her. You can�t kill her no matter what.�
�I almost did it!� Remus spat
�I thought mom explain that was self defence that caused you to bite...� Bria questioned
�No, the other night. I almost killed her with my own hands. I need help it and if this means going to St. Mungos then so be it.�
�Remus, there�s something you need to know about Dannie. can we talk in private?� Margaret asked as she eyed the three teens who were sitting on the furniture watching the adults.
�We know she�s dying.� Amanda stated �we�ve known for a while.�
�You have?� Bria asked
Maggie nodded, �Her scent has change, she�s become weaker during the moon, and��
�We found the papers.� Jack admitted, �But that won�t happen for a long time... She won�t leave us...�
�Two months tops.� Margaret stated, �Without her mate she has no more than two months left. with this additional strain though...I truly believe the next road will be her last.�
�Why is this the first time I�m hearing of this?� Draco asked, �I can�t believe the two of you would agree to bring my wife here when you knew what the consequences would be.�
�Draco, we were worried. We never go this long without hearing from my mom and when she refused to answer the floo calls or even turn on her laptop...we weren�t thinking OK?�
�What if papa�s allowed to visit for the moon to help her through them?� Maggie asked.
�No, that couldn�t tease her like that. For me to come here for just one night wouldn�t be fair to it either of us nor you three. besides, being away from her causes the...I won�t take a chance on hurting her again.�
�How long has it been since your last set back?� Margaret asked.
�Three or four days, but the nightmares are more frequent and...�
�The nightmares are what causes them?� Draco interrupted and Remus nodded.
�But you would never hurt mum and she knows that.� Maggie said
�You can�t be sure of that. She may hope he wouldn�t ever hurt her but...� Jack replied
�She knows he won�t, otherwise she wouldn�t have let him in her room. think about It... The way she has always been. We�ve come and gone from here all the time along with your dad and Sirius and not once have it any men entered that room with only her in it. not even papaw would go in there, but dad did. Just look at what you interrupted today and tell me she doesn�t know he would never harm her.� Bria explained, �Don�t you remember the night you and I mated, the way dad was when he came home after drinking with Sirius? where did he sleep?�
�That was the most uncomfortable night of my life. But weren�t you a near dorm?�
�Because of what you tried. I would have made Harry sleep on the couch too if he ever tried such a thing.� Bria stated
Ginny continued to listen to the conversations that took place in the house, Remus isn�t like Neville rang through her ears. When the door opened and Jack stepped outside her head jerked up. �You came back. I was afraid mom scared you off.�
�You want me to take him still? Even with all you know is going to happen?�
�It really doesn�t matter does it? Either way we�re going to live with Bria and Harry.� he shrugged.
�Why do you hate him?�
�I guess I don�t hate him, I don�t think I do.� Jack stammered, �I kind of understand why the he had to do what he did just don�t ... I don�t know. I want my mom here, I know he loves her but, I don�t know him. I remember him though, but that was then in there. Not here. This is our home not his.�
�Mom once said the same thing about Hogwarts.� Bria stated as she followed her brother to the porch, �But she a learned to live there.� she then turned to our old friend �Let me get dad for you, can you at least give us a few moments to let him say his...�
�No, I�ll let him know.� Ginny stated as she started of the porch steps then she swallowed the ascetic bile that rose into her throat as she stepped through the door quickly noticing the bags packed on the floor followed by all eyes turned in her direction causing her to take a deep breath.
�I�ll get mum so you can say your cyas.� Amanda stated as she rose to her feet.
�No, not yet. I would like to speak with your father again if that�s all right?� Ginny stated.
�I don�t see much of a point to this; since no more harm can be done I might as well.� Remus replied as he walked past the shorter woman and out the door. When she joined him on the porch, he looked for over �without your bodyguards aren�t you afraid all run off?�
�I�ve known you long enough to know your man of honour and that is something you won�t do no matter what.� she then took a seat on the bench whilst he leaned against the railing. �I wanted to explain to you why I made the decision I did it earlier. Its not something I usually make such a rash decision of but...�
�So I�m not going to be taken away?�
�I�m not sure. See, not long after the war ended there were a lot of people that were put into the different camps. More than we ever believed could have been. When Harry and his teams would find one there would always be survivors sent to the hospital to await evaluation. Unfortunately, more were found then we could ever have anticipated. We were short of staff back then, and had no idea how deep some of the damage had gone. Unfortunately, there were some occasions when we would release the people to do to what we already knew of them.
�It was my third year working on my internship when one of our friends had been brought in. He had never shown an angry bone in his body all the years we knew him and when I made my evaluation of him to I didn�t once see any sign of distress. It wasn�t until almost a month later when we found him at home along with the remains of his wife and daughter.�
�So when Harry told you I had shown up here, you immediately decided to come and commit me in order to keep Dannie safe.�
�No, that wasn�t the original intention. I came here merely to talk to you, to see if there was any ...� she paused and she noticed his glare upon her, �your right a did come here to have you committed. The possibility of someone returning from the camps with their mind intact is unfortunately something that has not happened as of yet.�
�I do understand them in need of help. If I wasn�t aware of this, I wouldn�t have told you what had happened. I love my family and the last thing I would ever want to do is to hurt them.� he then stood up and walked over to the window, watching as they interacted with one another. �The past week has been more than I expected or could have asked for after my absence. if there was anything I could have done differently to have been able to stay with them and still keep them from harm...I missed so much of their lives and still she has helped me to see what I have missed. I don�t want to miss another day.�
�Remus, I have to ask. The people that they gave the polyjuice to that were put in your cell... was there anything you could have done to keep from�.�
�It was the nights of the moon and I had no Wolfsbane. Don�t you think I would have done something If there was? You remember my first year teaching don�t you? I�m sure you heard from Ron or Harry about that night.�
�But didn�t you stop taking the Wolfsbane potion in my sixth year? Your kids haven�t been on the potion and from what I understand...�
�not only it aren�t they that an age to feel the desire to find a mate, but also there�s the fence round the forest. As for myself, yes, I stopped taking it but I had her with me for each change. Without her and the potion I�m as dangerous as I was that night.�
�You told Draco that the nightmares are what sets you off. How often do you have them?�
�Nightly.�
�But I thought you said you haven�t had a setback in three or four days. If the nightmares set you off and they are the nightly occurrence, what�s changed?� she asked.
�The nightmares are of them dying either by them or... me.�
�That still doesn�t explain what�s... Oh.� she merely said as he turned and glanced at her then turned back to the window.
just then, Harry appeared In the door, �You�re at least going to let him eat dinner before you leave, right?� Ginny nodded �well, come on then. Bria�s is finishing his about now.�
Without another word Ginny lead the two of them back into the house where the others were finding places to sit and eat on the sofa and floor. It was a fairly quiet meal for everyone. Even though Ginny didn�t have much of an appetite, she still poked and nibbled at her food as she watched how Remus interacted with the group and his children. Maggie seemed for once to be the most attention hungry of the three of them as she insisted on sitting next to him and telling him anything and everything that came to mind. While Amanda sat on his other side, she remained quiet. Then there was the boy who still seemed uncomfortable with it all. He had to become the Alpha male over the past year with always watching out for the women of the family but now. Now he was expected to stand aside and let this person take his place.
�So are you in your second or third year as secondary school?� Remus asked his son as he placed his plate on the table.
�Amanda and I are freshmen one Jackie has to repeat eighth grade.� Maggie replied.
�Your mum said you were having troubles in school. If there�s any courses in particular that are giving you problems I may be able to help you with them.�
�Like you�d really be able to help me with my Constitution test or American literature.�
�Jack, he�s just trying to help. Dad was a prefect when he was in school.� Bria stated.
�Well a lot of good it would do even if he knew anything normal. Remember, he�s leaving... And good riddance.� end with that Jack rose from the floor and once again was out the door.
Remus then rose to his feet to go after his son but Harry did the same name and blocked the man�s path. �I�ll go talk to him. I know quite well how he�s feeling.�
As he sat back down and put his head in his hands, he heard his oldest say �dad, he�ll come around. Just give him time.�
Without another word Remus stood up and walked into the master bedroom before sitting down next to see his sleeping wife in stroking her hair and till she rolled over and wrapped her arm around his legs �you�re still here.� she mumbled.
�Ssh, go back to sleep love.�
�Too late, I�m already awake.� she then rolled over onto him folding her arms on his lap to use them is a pillow, �what do you say we sneak out the window and make a run for?�
�That idea is impossible for a number of reasons. See the main one being the children.�
�they can stay with Jenny until we send for them.� sure replied as she rose up to look at him.
�Dannie��
�I know I know. I just wish. ..�
�I do too my love.� he said as he leant over and kissed her forehead.
She then rolled off of him and scooted towards the edge of the bed. �a supposed Ginny�s gonna be back soon to take you with her.�
As he sensed the tension in her starting to rise he soothingly said, �Love, please come down. I won�t be gone long. Once they help me through this I�ll be back and we can live our lives the way we were supposed to.�
�Haven�t they told you? Nobody has ever love that hospital. Ask them; ask her, how many of their classmates have been locked away and never let out again all because of one incident. Don�t you see? use made so much progress since you�ve been home. I�m sure that if they just left us alone you do a lot better and then the nightmares would fade away in time.�
�listen love, I�m not sure how bad Ginny�s other patients are, but I promise to once I get the help I need in order to end the nightmares I will be back. I just need you to promise that you�ll wait for me.�
�both the kids and I have waited for you through each war in each time we lost you. Remus, the war is over, there�s no reason...�
�Mom, about I heard you. Ginny would like to speak with you and dad that�s alright.� Bria interrupted from the doorway.
�How�s your brother doing?� Remus asked her as Dannie turned to face him.
�I don�t know, Harry�s still talking with him.�
�Did something happen that I need to know about?�
�No, not really. Dad was just talking to Jack and Jack was being how he always is.� Bria replied �so, will you talk with Ginny?�
Dannie sighed, �Might as well. tell her we�ll talk in here.� and Bria turned turn find her friend.
Remus moved over to sit next to her on the edge of the bed wrapping his arm round her shoulders �you�re going to remain calm through this aren�t you?�
Dannie took a deep breath merely nodded just as Ginny knocked on the door. The couple looked in her direction in which she took as a sign to continue she stepped into the room closing door behind her. �first and want to thank you for speaking with me again. I do wish that you could understand how difficult this decision has been on me. The two of you, mean as much to me as my parents did.�
�Would you have locked your own parents away if they had lived to see the war and wind up in a prison camp is well?� she asked
�Dannie...�
�No Remus, she has every right to ask me that question.� Ginny replied �It would�ve killed me and probably caused the rest of the family to shun me but, if I truly felt that they would be a danger then yes. Yes I would have my own parents committed.� she leaned against the door and crossing her arms over her chest she continued, �It�s only been a few days since the last time Remus had a setback, and from what I understand this is not the only one he�s had. Am I correct?�
Neither of them replied verbally. Dannie just close your eyes and lowered her head as Remus gripped her hand tightly �That�s what I thought. Dannie, why haven�t you ever told us about your condition?�
�My condition is not of your concern. Its something that my family will work through in time.�
�Your condition is my concern. Why do you think I made the decision that I get earlier?� Ginny received no reply, �I was trying to keep you alive. If I had any idea at all that all what I thought was right to do in order to keep you safe would risk your life��
�Ginny, are you saying that you don�t think I am a risk to my family? What about the possibilities of my having problems again?� Remus asked.
�I know possible risk of you having another setback just like I know about Dannie�s feelings of magic in her home.� she replied , �I�d like to make of this suggestion. you, Remus, stay here with your family receiving let�s say counselling with me every few days or so and depending on how well you progress will determine whether or not we�ll need to take you in. On the condition...�
Dannie�s head shot up so she could get good look at though younger woman across the room �What condition?�
�That�s where you come in. We all know about your fears of magic being cast here but I need you didn�t consider it.�
�No!�
�Dannie listen, it�s either Remus goes to St. Mungos and receives the treatment like everyone else or, you allow me to cast a sort of ward upon you in the children.� Ginny stated.
�Ward?� Remus asked, �Why would you need words around her in the children?�
�Not a full strength ward, just one that will alert me if you cause any harm to them.� Ginny explained
�I still don�t like the idea. Not only because it�s magic but what if...� Dannie paused for a moment, �What if say, Remus and I become a bit rough at times? Not while fighting mind you but at other times. I don�t want to have to worry every time we make love that someone�s going to barge in and hex him again.�
�After what happened earlier I can understand your concern but, this will also be triggered by fear. We don�t have that much time to explain the technicalities of it but basically the spell will a only be triggered by that in motion all along with his genetics. No different then how the tracking the inside your registration used to work.�
�Isn�t there another way to do this without to any use of magic?� she asked.
�I wish there was, but this is the only option that I can come up with at this point. I swear if he has progressed as much as you say he has and, continues to progress, then as far as the Wizarding world is concerned, he perished in the prison camp.�
Dannie stood up and walked over to the window looking outside of it for a moment than back to Remus before closing her eyes, �Do it.� Remus then opened his mouth to say something that she continued, �no, I know what you�re going to say and I told you. I will not lose you again. Go ahead and do it but, the children are not to know about this, especially Jack. That is my condition on all of this. Say whatever spell you have to and get it over with but this will be the very last time in a magic is cast in my home. Do you understand?�
�I understand quite well but, to cast a spell on them without their knowledge of it would be extremely difficult.� she replied.
�It maybe difficult but I suggest you find a way to do it.� Dannie ordered as she crossed her arms over her chest, �You come into my home uninvited by me, first insisting on taking my husband away then turn round and offer to cast some spell on our children and I, knowing damn well how I feel about magic here, in order to let him stay. None of you know what we have been through so, since you insist on doing this in order to keep your conscience clear I insist that my children have no knowledgement of it. Do we have an agreement?�
Ginny looked at the two of them for a moment �I�ll try it your way but, I can�t make any promises they won�t realise what I�m doing.� she then walked over to Remus and held out her hand �I�m going to need four of your hairs if you don�t mind.� Reaching up he plucked of four hairs from the back of this head and handed them to the younger which while Dannie sat down next to her husband on the bed again and taking his hand in hers. �I�m sorry but you cannot be in contact with anyone during this.�
As soon as she relinquished his hand Ginny placed one of the hairs on top the woman�s head as she close her eyes and clearly recited the charm. Once she open them Dannie glared at her �This isn�t gonna work, there is no way that they will not know you�re doing something to them.�
�What you mean it�s not going to work?� he asked
�The feeling of it, there is a tingling feeling when she cast the spell. You�ve got to find another way.�
�The only reason you felt something is because I cast the strongest protection spell I know on you as well, the one I�ll use on them won�t be as strong so they shouldn�t feel a thing.�
�I�m watching as you cast it on them. If for one instance I feel that they suspect anything. Anything at all, our agreement is completely cancelled out and you will return to your world without him.�
�Dannie��
�No, I�m the one you�re supposedly worried about more and you�ve already placed your spell on me. Now if you doubt you�re up to this�.�
�Alright then. Shall we try?� she asked before walking out of the room and waiting for them to join her. Seeing that Jack and Harry had once again joined everyone inside, she went up to him first placing her hand that held a single hair onto his arm while quietly concentrating on the spell she said to him out loud, �If at anytime you want someone to talk to, that�s not of blood relation��
�I�ll keep that in mind.�
�I mean it. I�m going to be here quite a bit for your father for awhile but I�ll be more than happy to talk with you as well. I they won�t even have to know what is said between us.� causing him to just nod.
�Are you saying that papa�s staying?� Maggie asked looking at Ginny then over at her parents as they wrapped an arm around the other and smiling.
�You don�t mind do you?� Remus asked but was answered with a running hug as an answer. �Amanda?�
�Will you be at my games as well?�
�Cheering louder than anyone else every time you�throw an out.� he replied when Dannie whispered something in his ear, �Um, strike someone out. If you like that is.� she nodded in response then cast a glance in her brother�s direction who just merely looked away.
Knowing that by this time the hour was growing late for the visitors, everyone bid farewell in which Ginny used the chance to uncharacteristically hug the two girls and mentally casting the same spell upon them then smiling to the couple when it seemed to go unnoticed.
It wasn�t until they arrived back at the vineyard before the others when Draco asked, �Are you going to tell me what that was all about?�
�What what was all about?�
�You never change your mind about treatment for your patients nor have you ever hugged any of their children.�
�I haven�t changed my mind, if you listened I will still be counselling him on a regular basis. I just decided to go about it in a different manner.�
He crossed his arms over his chest and glared at her, �You cast a spell on them when you hugged them. What in Merlin�s name do you think your doing? When she figures out what you�ve done��
�I know what I�m doing. They want a chance to prove themselves and I�m giving them that. In the meantime if anything goes wrong, we�ll know about it immediately.�
�Ginny��
�You�ve never questioned how I�ve done my job before. Don�t start now.�

Review Replies�..

Martha From Fanfiction.net: Even thought I�m quite sure that all of my answers to your accusations were answered during CC or even during my numerous requests for a beta. .I suppose you�re just bored and want some attention�.

So here it is�.My response questions for you�.

1) Do you know what the AU in the summary of my stories stands for? It means Alternate Universe.

2) Do you know what the actual meaning of a �Mary-Sue� is? I would be more than happy to take the time to explain it clearly to you and your other personalities (since you used the word we in your comment) via email. �So clearly that a child would be able to understand it.

(3) Why in the hell did you even bother to read both stories (totalling 400,000+ words) only to come back and complain?

(4) Final question�.have you ever paid attention to an interview with JKR? If you had, you must also hate Hermione for she has said on numerous occasions �When I wrote Hermione she came easy, mainly because she is me.� It was when the A&E show, Biography, had a segment on JKR that I remember it most since I have it on tape�.WOW is that a light flicking on between your ears? Must be since that means that Hermione is a Mary-Sue.

Oh, I do have another question for you�.Did you know I joked about your ignorance on my LJ? I even used the name you left behind.

Marielle from Adult Fan-fiction: There�s even one entry about your review�..To sum it up�.Thank you, I truly appreciated your kind and wonderful words.

Lately I�ve been using my LJ not only to communicate with friends but also to touch on some of the reviews that have been left behind.

If anyone ever wishes to read my LJ, my user id is = onedemonicangel (Did you expect anything else?)
