Written for the Character of the week challenge by Fire the Cannon. The challenge was one character, and five drabbles. I made each drabble exactly 200 words.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Second challenge, Arabella Figg in a platonic relationship.
1000 Words of Arabella Figg

Never would Arabella Figg mention where her name came from or her background. The shame still enveloped her, her life was quiet and she had an important job with the Order. But when a familiar situation came up she had to interfere, even if it did arise questions from her past. "Lupin, don't be stupid. She makes you feel normal right? Makes you forget that you are a werewolf, and reminds you that you are just as good as everyone else around."
"Of course she does. That's what she does to everyone. But that doesn't change the fact-"
"You care for her," she did not give him the chance to interrupt, "and she makes you feel special and important. So you are being idiotic. Take my advice and do not let that sort of love go to waste." He was going to argue so she looked him straight in the eyes, "Trust me, Remus Lupin. Do not ask about my life but know this, if I were ever given an opportunity like that, I would do anything to not mess it up. But I believe it only happens once per lifetime, and I will not watch you muck it all."
Her and Remus have always been outcasts of their own sort so I would love to see them talking, something I never thought of until this challenge, so thank you to Fire the Cannon!
With love,
