MARAUDERER'S DAY
Professor Mancy, Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, sat in his classroom wondering why his students were such idiots. Looking at the top essay on the pile he was grading, he sighed. He made a mental note that he had to talk to the author of the paper. ~~~~
"Miss Sansun, Mr. Lupin, please stay after class," Professor Mancy called as the student of his NEWT level potions class left.
Once all of the students were gone, Mancy stated, "Lupin, your scores are very low in my class. You can't get through one day without screwing something up. Miss Sansun, you will tutor him. Set your own schedule. Lupin, I want to see a marked improvement within a week. You both may leave." Mancy turned to some papers on his desk.
Alixana Sansun, seventh year Gryffindor, shrugged then nodded towards the exit. Remus Lupin, in the same year and house, also shrugged and went to gather his things. Once they were both in the hallway they started walking slowly towards the Great Hall for dinner. Alix spoke up, "Eemus, when do you want to start?"
Embarassed, Remus looked at his feet, "I-I don't kn-know. When works for y-you?"
Stopping in her tracks, Alix waited til Remus was facing her, "I am NOT going to make fun of you for needing some help. I also won't tell James, Sirius, OR Peter."
Remus smiled sheepishly, "Thanks Alix."
"You.look nice when you smile," Alix said suddenly, taken off guard at how good he looked.
"Are you coming, Alix?" Lily called from the bottom of the stairs.
Alix called, "I'm coming, Lily. James will still be there." She then turned back to Lupin, "When do you want to meet?"
"A-are you going to Hogsmeade tomorrow?" Remus asked nervously.
"Yeah. Are you going? Do you want to meet there?" together they slowly walked down the long dreary dungeon hallway.
Looking at his feet, Remus said, "I'm going. Do you want to split from the group for a little bit? We could discuss a study schedule."
"I'd like that, Remus. Now I better get going. I'll see you tomorrow. It's a date," Alix said as she ran down the hall to meet up with her best friend, Lily Evans.
Remus was a little slower getting to dinner that night.
PRESENT TIME
"We just want to know who Professor Dumbledore has here," Ron whined when Professor Lupin caught him and his two cohorts with Extendable Ears listening in on a conversation happening in the front hallway.
"It doesn't matter who's here, Mr. Weasley. You all need to get to bed," Remus smiled wearily at the trio. They so reminded him of him and his friends at that age.
Just then a voice called from the hallway, (Mrs. Black's portrait having been removed) "Remus, why don't you bring the children and come down here to meet the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Professor Dumbledore beckoned them.
Remus sighed and followed the children down the stairs to the front hall. On the bottom step, he finally looked up to see who the teacher was. The teacher, a female, had long black hair and a small build. Her eyes were a shocking shade of blue, her skin was tanned a healthy brown. Remus stopped in shock and stuttered, "A-Alix?"
