As the rest of the pack left to try to rescue Ashura, Skye fixed dinner for Remus, Kris, Dawn and herself. She was a pretty good cook, and had made a hot chicken soup with herbs, potatoes, and mushrooms from the garden. There would be plenty left over for the others when they came home, hopefully with Ashura.
She began spooning some soup into bowls and setting them out on the table with a side of fresh-baked bread. "Kris! Remus! Dinner's ready!" she called as she began to prepare a platter to bring in to Dawn.

Remus headed for the kitchen table as soon as he was called. He'd been smelling the soup and the baking bread all day and it was driving him crazy with hunger. He found himself silently wishing that the pack had always been his family. They had never lied to him and they didn't keep him isolated, like a shameful creature. Somehow he felt like this was more his home than his real home had been. He wished Kris felt the same way, but he knew that she still had a lot of issues to deal with.
He sat down at the table and waited for Kris.

Kris walked into the kitchen not long after Remus had, she had been smelling the food being cooked and only got even more hungry. She didn't know what to say so she just sat at the table by Remus. She was deep in thought about what she would say to her father, she had a million questions to ask him.

"Hey," Remus said, smiling at her. She'd been very quiet since the cemetery. "How are you doing? Feeling any better yet?" He took a slice of bread and began to spread some butter on it.

"Yeah... just thinking..." Kris said as she got a slice of bread and dipping it in her soup. She glanced at the door hoping to see the owl fly back with a reply. She bit her bread as she looked down at her soup. "You doing ok?"

Skye finished preparing the platter for Dawn, and picked it up to carry it into the girl's room. "I'll be back in a while, OK?" she said. "I'm just going to take this to Dawn and sit with her while she eats it. If you want more of anything, feel free to help yourselves." She left the room, walking as gracefully as ever, despite the platter she carried in front of her.

Remus nodded to Skye, then looked back at Kris. "Yeah, I'm OK. Although I guess I feel a little useless, having to stay back here and be babysat, while everyone else tries to rescue Ashura." He took a mouthful of his soup, then added, "I guess Dad hasn't answered your letter yet, huh?"

"No not yet." Kris said with a sigh. "I wish he would though." She fell silent as she dipped her bread in her soup again. She looked at her brother then asked, "Why do you think Sirius hadn't showed up at camp?"

Remus frowned. He was a little concerned about Sirius, too. "I don't know. Maybe his mom wouldn't let him go. I think she's really strict... maybe he made her angry and she decided to make him stay home as punishment." He broke off a piece of his bread and ate it. "I bet she wouldn't be too thrilled to hear that he's friends with a werewolf and is dating another!"

Kris smiled. "Probably, not many people like werewolves." She fell silent for a few minutes. "I... I changed my mind about not going to school." She bit her bread and chewed on it slowly.

Remus brightened. "You mean you are going back?" he said hopefully.

"Yeah, I mean I have to if I want to get better at magic, right?" Kris said before eating the rest of her slice of bread.

"Yeah," Remus agreed. "I think you'll be happier if you do... you won't be bored all day. And you'll see, Dumbledore will fix something up for you, like he did for me. It'll be fine." He ate a little more of his soup. "Anyway, I would have missed you if you didn't go. And I'm sure Sirius would, too."

"I wish he could have went to camp..." Kris said quietly. She couldn't bring herself to eat anymore, she missed Sirius.

"Yeah, I know," Remus said. "I miss him, too. And James. But we'll probably see them at school. I'm sure Sirius's parents wouldn't keep him out of school." He continued to eat his soup hungrily.

"I wonder if my letter got to Dad yet." Kris wondered aloud as she looked at the window. She had so many things to say and ask, she wanted to say and ask them before they slip her mind.

Almost as if on cue, there was a tapping sound at the window. Remus looked up and saw an owl at the window. Dropping his piece of bread, he got up from the table and opened the window to take the letter from the owl. Knowing Kris was afraid of owls, he quickly released the owl and closed the window. Then he came back to the table with the note in his hand. "Do you want to read it, or should I?"

"You read it." Kris said before biting her lower lip, she was worried that he wouldn't want to answer her questions.

"OK," Remus said. He unfolded the letter and began to read,
"Dear Kris,
I understand that you have a lot of questions, and I want to try and answer them for you. I will be coming to Hogsmeade tomorrow to talk with you and Remus, if he's willing to speak to me. I know you may not believe this, but I love you both very much. I'll be at the house by noon.
Love,
Dad."
Remus folded up the letter and looked at Kris to see her reaction.

Kris listened to Remus read the letter and the only words that stuck was 'I love you both very much'. "How can he say he loves us both when he erased me from the family?" She asked through clenched teeth.
