Lovers' Conversation
Just a little bit of romance between Prof. Lupin and his wife Astra. Don't own Harry Potter so don't sue me, all I have my dignity and Tweezlers
Astra slowly lifted her head off her pillow. Movement in her bedroom had woken her and now her eyes took a few seconds to adjust to the light. Then she smiled, her husband was putting his things away. He must have just gotten home. Last year he had gone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. She had missed him.
"I'm sorry I woke you up," he said, noticing she was awake.
"Remus," she scolded gently. "It's midnight, either get your ass in bed or you're sleeping on the couch."
At that her husband smiled and quietly made his way over to the bed. They kissed and as they pulled back she smiled and pulled him onto the bed. There they lay silently for a few minutes, just enjoying the time together. It was rare now for them to actually get to relax together and she wanted to enjoy every moment of it.
"Did you know that Harry found the Maurader's Map?" Remus asked, pulling his wife to him.
"That damn thing still works?" She nestled her head in his chest and closed her eyes.
"Of course. James and Sirius were the brightest students at Hogwarts."
"Not completely."
"And Harry.... Well he's just like James. And Lily. Clever, and a trouble maker."
Astra let out a chuckle.
"What else do you expect? James was a lunitic. I swear, I had to rescue you guys more times...." Her voice drifted off.
For a few minutes, the couple just listened to their own breathing.
"Also...." Remus began, "Sirius is safe. He didn't betray James."
"I know, Peter did."
"How?"
"Remus, you should know by now. I can read minds. I knew they had switched secret keepers. Besides, I'd also read Peter's mind that night. I knew I should I have stopped him."
The silence again engulfed the two. Remus began to pat Astra's hair and she turned over. A smile passed over her face, and upon seeing this, her husband smiled. Astra leaned in and kissed him. They kissed for a while before Remus gathered her into his arms.
"I love you." He whispered into her ear.
"I love you too." She said back, before drifting off into a deep sleep.
Author's Note: I know it was short but I wanted to get something out before I started my new story. Hope you liked.
