Into the Penseive

Chapter 20

Remus, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and her son Sirius walked through the front.

Sirius had black curly hair that stopped at his shoulders, tone skin, deep blue eyes and was built like his father. He was also like his father in many ways. He loved life and that's what got Luna through the days. It was her son.

They looked around for the kids but was quiet. It was too quiet for Remus's liking.

"Athena, James where are you?" Hermione called as she looked around the house.

They went in different direction in search for the two seventeen year olds. They met back in the living room.

"Any luck?" asked Harry.

They all shook their heads.

"The study. I didn't check the study."

"Remus they wouldn't be in there."

The wizard raised a brow at his wife.

She sighed, "Fine. We'll go check."

They all walked into the room. Remus saw an empty bottle on the desk.

"Athena." He whispered and walked over to the pensive. He saw the blue liquid inside the bowl.

The werewolf vanished inside the bowl and returned with a very distraught Athena Lupin. She was shaking with sobs.

"Oh gods Justin! Daddy I'm so sorry!"

Remus quickly pulled his daughter into his arms and rubbed her back. He nodded to Harry to remove the memories from the pensive. The wizard quickly removed the liquid and put it back into the jar and sat down on the shelf.

"Luna please go get her calming draught," whispered Hermione.

She nodded and left the room.

Sirius sighed sadly. His mother had told him what happened all those years ago and only wished his father was alive. He missed him dearly. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Luna returned with the draught.

Remus instructed her to drink it and she took the vile from her father. She down it in one sallow. He led her to in the living room and helped to the couch.

"Sweetie, I didn't want you for a reason. Ron's," he growled deep in his chest, "destroyed many lives. Do you understand?"

She only nodded her head.

Hermione sat down next her daughter, "Come on I'm taking you your room. You've had a long night."

The witch nodded and she help her to her feet and they left the room.

"Come along James it's best we head home."

"Yes sir."

"Good night Mooney."

"Good night Harry."

Luna and Sirius left the house.

Hermione walked into the room and took her husband into her arms. "What are going to do?"

"Destroy the memories."

She nodded and kissed her husband goodnight and head to bed.

Remus walked into his study and took the vile down and sat it on his desk. He stared at it for a moment then pulled out his wand, and said,

"Reducto," and vile shattered and he clean up the mess. "It's truly goodbye my beautiful son. Good bye Padfoot," and walked out of the room with light heart and slight smile on his face.

The End!
