Hello everybody! I have to go for a 3.1 km walk tomorrow for school (lucky, it's winter and not summer) anyway, I'm thinking about going to Denmark and becoming and exchange there for a couple of months, I don't know, I haven't decide anything yet, Well…I hope you like this chapter and the story of course.

Chapter 24

Lily Potter sighed as she waited for the train in Kings Cross, why couldn't Sirius Black live near them. It's not that Lily didn't want to go to Sirius's place and that she had a choice in the matter anyway – James had begged her.

It had two years since Lily and James Potter had gotten married and she was currently four months pregnant and James was out in Auror business and wouldn't be back until a month time, so James had told or rather order her to stay at Sirius's place knowing it was safer there than at home by herself and she had agreed but four pregnant, her feet were immense and sore and she didn't like wobbling for a long period of time.

She smiled as her train pulled into the station and watched as people climbed out and she got into train before the doors closed. She looked around and saw people sitting around. She saw one guy who looked oddly familiar talking to another guy about something, pointing down on a book. She sighed and saw that the good seat was on the opposite of them. She groaned as she sat down and put her bags down. She had just finished working, she was a columnist for Witch Weekly and they had agreed today to let her work at home. She closed her eyes, pressing her thumbs to each side of her temple. She took of her shoes, seriously thinking she had boils on the bottom of them for wobbling too much.

"The cool air should be good on feet like yours," said a voice that seem memorable.

Lily opened her eyes and looked around and saw that two men opposite her were looking at her. She smiled politely and said, "Oh yes, very good."

"You should get James to massage them when you get home," said the man closest to her. She narrowed her eyes. Who was this man? How did he know James? She opened her mouth to speak and saw the man starting to grin.

"Don't remember me? That's a shame, Lilydoll," said the man grinning and once he had said that name, she knew who he was.

"Matthew," she whispered and when she saw him grin wider she knew she was right.

"It's been a while," he smiled.

"Yes, yes, it has been awhile, two years in fact."

"And you're already pregnant." He said nodding to her belly.

"Yes." She answered, she eyed him up and down and saw the tag on his shirt and raised an eyebrow. "Assistant Nurse?"

He smiled and said, "Practicing Assistant Nurse, still in uni, it's just a field day today,"

She kept her eyebrow raised and asked, "Why?"

"A very smart girl, once told me that I thought about no one except myself and when I thought about it long and hard and I knew she was right and I knew I had to change my life around and so I did starting with helping people that weren't me and close to my family. I started a shelter and than I thought about nursing and here I am, I have a couple more years until I become a official Assistant Nurse, but yes, I owe my thanks to that very smart girl."

Lily smiled and said, "She would have been proud that you had changed and where you are."

"How are you?" he asked.

"Mostly temperamental," she smiled and then added, "But what's changed?"

Matthew looked like he was going to laugh and then asked, "And James?"

Lily's hand rose to her belly and then answered, slowly, "I have no idea. He's gone away on…business and he won't be back until the end of next month."

"Business?" asked Matthew "What does he do?"

Lily leaned over as the best as she could and whispered, "Auror, it's a kind of police work."

Matthew nodded "And he had to go away for that?"

"There's a war happening, where I live, if you know what I mean."

Matthew's eyes widen and nodded, in understanding. "Well…I hope he comes home soon and unscathed and that the war ends soon."

Lily sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the war will not end soon."

The train started slowly down and she saw that it was her stop; she slipped her shoes back and picked her bags up, standing up, holding on to the pole. She looked at Matthew.

"I am proud of you for changing early in life, if you didn't who knows where you would be, right now. Keep going Matthew, you're going to make big one day." She smiled and the train stopped, she saw Sirius waiting outside for her and said, "Goodbye,"

"Goodbye, Lily."

Lily walked off the train and greeted Sirius who did the same.

"How's my godson today?"

"I swear James is going to have beater of a son and not a chaser." She answered.

Matthew stood at the office bench and was glancing at the room 133 every so often.

In the room, there were five people but only one looked familiar, he had looked exactly like James Potter but he had Lily's eyes and he was sure, he had to be Lily's son. His friend, Hermione Granger, had give birth earlier on today.

A nurse came storming, cursing under her breath.

"What's wrong now, Margaret?" he asked not glancing at her but the room.

"There is a kid that came out of that room you're watching, running up and down the hall here making noise."

"Oh," he said "I'll handle it," he knocked on the door and the door was opened by a red-haired girl.

He came in and said, "Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude but there is a little kid about the age of five years old running and screaming up and down the hallway and he came out of this room, I was wondering if – " before he could finish the red-haired lady was out of the room and angrily whispering, "Get here James!"

When the lady and child came back in the room, he smiled and said, "Thank you," he was about to exit when a voice asked. "Matthew?"

He turned around and saw that the nearly grey-haired man was staring at him, as if he was seeing someone he had long saw.

"Yes?" he asked, he didn't recongise him.

He smiled and said, "You may not remember him but I'm Remus Lupin, I was – "

"James's friend," he nodded and said, "Yes, I remember."

The boy that looked like James and said, "Who are you?"

Before Matthew could, Remus did. "A very old friend of your Mother's."

The boy looked at Matthew who said, "And you look like your father."

"Yes, so I've heard."

Matthew nodded at Remus and said, "It's a good meeting you again," before leaving.

Matthew watched as they all left the room during the day, he was working on some paperwork, when Remus saw him again. Matthew just had to asked a question before he left.

"How are James and Lily?"

Remus swallowed slowly and said, "Lily and James…are…-well…they're no longer with us."

Matthew paled and looked down and said, "Oh."

"They…-er…died when Harry was only one."

Matthew looked up and looked around and whispered "Was it because of that war?"

Remus looked at him and asked, "How did you know about that?"

"I saw Lily once two years after she had married on a train, she looked around four or five months pregnant with – Harry, did you say? – I told her what I was doing and I asked what James was doing and she said he had gone off on a war, her world was in."

Remus nodded and said, "Yes, yes. It was because of the war."

Matthew nodded sadly and said, "Oh, well…I hope they died a nice and peaceful death."

"It was quick enough one." Answered Remus, who looked at his watch and said, "If you excuse me, I have to be somewhere."

Matthew nodded and said, "Of course, I hope you have a nice day and future, if I do not see you again."

Remus looked at him, knowing that the man had changed. "And so do you."

Matthew smiled.
