The Journal
________________________________________________________________________
Harry looked at Remus in shock at the story he was just told. He smiled. "So that's where all the memories were coming from. You and Hermione were making them happen."
"Yes." Remus, said handing Sirius the picture.
The marauder took the photo from his friend and a gold wedding band hit the light. He smiled. "I remember you looking at this thing all time. It made me so jealous. But yet grateful at the same time." He handed the picture to Harry.
"Hermione was my brown eyed girl. I guess she will always be. Even through the journal we changed things and I changed as well. I ended up finding the love of my life." Remus said gently.
Harry handed him back the photo. "Have you told Hermione how you feel?"
Remus shook his head and said, "No, it's not the right time."
"What?! Not the right time! Mooney you stupid dumb ass-" Sirius was interrupted by a low growl. He saw his friend's eyes shine amber. "Hello, Mooney no long no see. Hey, mate." Harry laughed.
"Hello Padfoot. My mate has finally given my human the journal for which it is time for him to know the truth. I have given him all of the memories while he was telling you the story." Mooney said with a wolfish grin. "You are wondering why or how Hermione got the journal?" They nodded. "I used ancient magic for it to find my mate and yet she was with me the whole time. Life's funny sometimes isn't it?" They nodded again and watched his eyes change back to blue-green. He look to the right and saw her handwriting.
I never forgot. We loved throughout time.
Love,
Your brown eyed girl
Remus looked up at the men. "Oh my god. Why didn't I see it guys? She was and is my mate and my brown eyed girl."
"Go to her." Sirius said, with a smile. "Go to her." Remus ran from the dinning room. Sirius waved his wand and a photo album landed on the table. "This is for you. It has years worth of pictures. It's yours." Harry smiled and quickly opened the book.

Hermione laid on the bed resting on her stomach running her fingers across the charm bracelet he had gotten her for Christmas. She brushed the tears away only for more to fall and she heard a knock on the door. "Come in." she called, and Remus walked into the room.
He closed the door behind him and sat down on the bed. Hermione turned her head and he handed her his old journal. Remus took her face in his hands. "We'll love across time, my brown eyed girl. I love you."
Hermione smiled and said, "You remember." He nodded and brushed her tears away with his thumbs. "I love you." He gently captured her lips with his own. She rolled over on her back and he deepened the kiss.
Remus pulled back and rose from the bed and extended his hand. Hermione smiled and took his hand and they went down to the dinning room.

The couple walked into the room when they heard laughter through out the room. Remus looked over Harry's shoulder and laughed at Joan and Harry at Halloween. Joan was dressed as a ghost and Harry was dressed as a bat. "Oh I remember that Harry was five and we went to Hogwarts for the party.
"Now what are we laughing at in here?" James asked as he walked into the room. He looked at the woman. "Hello Hermione." He said and stopped into his tracks and his mouth dropped. "You're Mooney's Hermione. The girl from the journal!" Hermione nodded realizing his memory had returned to him. "Hermione," he threw his arms around her neck. "Thank you so much!" He pulled back and said, "You saved our lives. Thank you."
"Hello everyone!" Lily said as she walked into the room. Hello dear." She kissed Hermione on the cheek and sat down at the table.
Severus walked into the room followed by Grace, Damon and their six year old daughter Tara. "What is going on in here?" asked the Potions Master.
"Looking at old photos." Sirius answered and laughed at the face Severus made and turned back to album.
"Hello everyone!" Joan said, pulling her boyfriend into the room who happened to be Fred Weasely!
They all sat down at the table looking at pictures and telling stories. James smiled and winked at Remus. He knew that his fellow marauder finally had his love back in his life.

Two years later Remus and Hermione stood in front of a priest surrounded by friends and family. The couple smiled at each other waiting for the priest to begin. "We are here to join this man and this woman in holy matronly. Is there anyone hear that sees just so cause why they should not be join speak now or forever hold his peace." The chapel was quiet. "Marriage isn't to be taken lightly. It takes love, honor and trust. Please turn and face one and another." They did as they were told. "Do you, Remus John Lupin take Hermione Jean Granger as your wedded wife to have and to hold for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"
"I do." Remus said, and Hermione slid a gold band onto his left hand.
"Do you, Hermione Jean Granger take Remus John Lupin as your wedded husband to have and to hold for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"
"I do. Hermione answered, and Remus slowly slid a gold band on her left hand.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kissed the bride."
Remus smiled and gently capture his bride's with his own. Sirius whistled when the kissed deepened. Maggie hit him on the arm. The couple pulled back and laughed.
"I'm pleased to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Remus John Lupin." The priest said and wished the couple good luck.

Remus paced the floor at St. Mungo's Hospital waiting the birth of his twin girls. The couple had been married for nearly four years. They had tried countless times to have children but it ended in three miscarriages and two still births. Remus prayed his girls and his wife would be safe.
Severus stood up and pulled out calming draught from his robe's pocket. "Here. This will help." He smiled and took the potion in one go.
Remus looked up when the door opened and he saw Lily. "How are they?"
Lily had delivered his two sons that didn't make it. She smiled and said, "They're all healthy. You can go and see them."
"Harry will you come with me?" He nodded and followed Remus to room 454.

The wizard walked into the room. Remus stood next to Hermione and smiled at his daughters. The baby in her left arm had chestnut straight hair, with amber eyes. The little girl in her right hand curly sandy blonde hair with bright brown eyes.
"They're beautiful love." Remus said, brushing some hair from her face. "Let's name her Amber Helen." He said, gently stroking the little girl hand that laid in her mother's left arm. Hermione smiled and nodded in agreement.
She looked at her daughter she held in her right arm. "Let's name her Kira Ellen." Remus smiled and nodded in agreement. "Harry." he walked up to the family. "Will you be our girls godfather?"
"I'd love too." He said with a smile.

Twelve years later:
Remus and Hermione stood on platform 9 ¾ sending their twin girls off to their first year at Hogwarts. They kissed them on the forehead and watched Amber and Kira board the red train. It slowly pulled out from the station.
Remus wrapped his arm around Hermione's waist and pulled out an old faded journal. "Remember this, my brown eyed girl?"
"How could I forget. It changed the course of time." She said with a smile.
"We'll love through time." He whispered against her lips and captured her lips with his own.
