Remus appeared at the bottom of the stairs a moment later with a frown on his face.
"And I thought sex was meant to cheer people up." I said after a long silence as we walked back to the headmasters office.
"Sirius is a dick head." Remus said and I sighed. We got to the gargoyle and said the password, walked up the stairs and into the headmasters open office.
"You're late." He said as he stood behind his desk.
"Sorry Grandpa. I didn't have any jumpers so I had to borrow one off Remus because none of the other Gryffindor girls were in their dorms." I said in explanation and he nodded.
"Okay then off to the leaky Cauldron then. Here's some money dear, and a key to the vault that I had made for you." He said. I thanked him, as did Remus and then we flooed the leaky.
I stumbled out after Remus, nearly falling on my arse. He caught me in his arms and I looked up into his eyes to see a faint smile return to his face.
"It could have been worse you know." I said as we walked out the back of the building.
"What could have been worse than your best friend listening to you have sex with someone he was saying filthy things about all the night before?" He asked as he closed the door behind us. I raised my eyebrow at me.
"Why are we out here?" I asked as I looked around at the pile of garbage in the corner. I played the part of ignorant foreigner well as I looked him incredulously as he tapped the wall with his wand and it parted for him. I gapped at the alley that appeared in front of us.
"Cool trick." I said as I looked around, taking in the wizarding community that lived behind the brick wall.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Remus said and I smiled at him as he lead the way into the sea of people.
"He could have walked in on us naked up against the wall fucking. That's how it could have been worse." I said somewhat too loud for Remus as he blushed as people turned to stare at us. I smiled at them and waved as they stifled their laughter.
"I guess you're right." He relented as he lead us further down the alley.
"I know I'm right. Didn't your mother ever tell you anything? Women are always right." I said jokingly and he smiled sideways at me. After a moment of silence I reached out a grabbed his hand in mine, twining out fingers together. He looked down at our hands and grinned to himself.
"Where exactly are you taking me?" I asked as I saw the sign to Olivanders down the way from us.
"To the wand shop." Remus said and I giggled helplessly. He turned to me and raised and eyebrow at me.
"Get your mind out of the gutter." He said and I laughed out right.
"S'not my fault." I said.
"Whose fault is it then?" He asked teasingly.
"Yours." I said.
"How so?" He asked.
"Good sex usually brings it out of me." I said and he smiled smugly. I kissed him on the cheek and then we stopped in front of a store, Olivanders. I remembered the first time I came into this shop with my parents. It took me four tries to get the right wand. My parents flinched every time something went wrong, I found it all to be fascinating.
Remus and I went inside and looked around the darkened shop for signs of it's owner. We were greated by siad man moments later, looking slightly flustered. He had less wrinkles than I remembered and was in much better condition than I saw him last after he had been held captive in malfoy manner.
"Hello Sir. I'm looking for a new wand. I broke mine on my trip over from france." I said and he nodded and smiled at me.
"Yes, yes. And what is your name dear?" He asked.
"Hermione Sir, Hermione Dumbledore." I said and he narrowed his eyes at me curiously.
"Ah, yes Dumbledores Granddaughter. My condolences my dear, on your parents passing. Tragic it was really. Oh and Mr Lupin my boy, how are your studies going?" He asked as he moved over to the shelf, looking through the wands for the right one.
"Good Mr Olivander. Thank you." Remus said politely.
"Ah, yes. This one might do." He said and brought the box over to the counter, taking it out and passing it to me. I felt a warmth spread through me as I held it and the wand sparked blue light from the end.
"There we go then. Perfect." He said and I smiled at him.
"It's unicorn hair, thirteen inch. Brilliant wand if I do say so myself." He said proudly. We paid for it and then left the store. I sighed in relief, feeling more safe than I had been since I got here. I tucked the wand into my pocket and then continued with my shopping. Remus and i parted ways as I went to buy some clothing and he went off to do what ever it was he had come to do. I didn't press him on the details and then we met up later for a snack at the ice cream parlour.
"What have you got left to buy Mia?" Remus asked and I looked through my bags. I had some note books, quills and parchment, and basic school equipment down. I had jumpers, jeans, socks, shoes, tops, a dress or two and stockings, a winter coat, along with a scarf and gloves. The only thing I seemed to have forgotten was underwear. I blushed as I looked back up at Remus.
"I... Uh..." I tried to say it but found myself unable.
"Come on then, lets go and get what ever you need." I sighed and stood up, going with him. We walked down the alley and I stopped when I came to the lingerie store. Remus's smile turned smug as he saw where I needed to go.
"Don't let me stop you love." He said and I glared at him as he followed me into the store.
"Hello, can I help you with anything?" The retail assistant asked and Remus shook his head as I replied.
"We're just looking for the moment. Thanks." I said and she left us alone. I turned back to Remus to see him looking at me expectantly.
"Can you just leave for twenty minutes while I get some things?" I said sweetly but he shook his head.
"No thanks, I'm fine here for now." He said, his stupid smug face looking at me with amusement. I scowled at him and walked away from him and into the store. I browsed the bra's looking over everything, while he looked over my shoulder.
"I like that one." He whispered in my ear when I picked out a navy blue bra with black lace. I put it back immediately. He chuckled in my ear. After a while, I was looking in the plain section, he wandered off to look at some other section. I took my freedom while I had it and picked out my favourites. A white bra with lace, the navy blue one Remus said he liked, a purle one with green flowers on it, all with matching underwear, as well as a sports bra and then a pack of plain underwear along with some plain bras as well.
I took all of my things up to the counter and paid for them quickly while Remus was still distracted by something and had them bagged up.
"You're boyfriend's really cute, you make a lovely couple." The retail assistant said while she was packing my things into the bag.
"He's not my boyfriend." I said with a small frown.
"Not yet." I heard Remus say from behind me and the assistant winked at me as she chuckled. Remus wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned his head on my shoulder as he watched my new underwear get packed away.
He saw the navy blue bra and kissed my shoulder.
"I'm going to have fun taking that one off of you love." He whispered into my ear, loud enough for the woman to hear. It made us both blush scarlet. When the lady handed me the bag, Remus took it from her with a heart stopping smile and walked out of the store.
"I'm sorry about him. Can't take him anywhere really." I said apologetically.
"No worries. Enjoy the rest of your day." She said with a wink and I smiled at her before going back out to meet Remus outside the store.
"Can't take me anywhere can you?" He asked in mock indignation as he took all of my other bags from me. I smiled at him and leaned forward.
"Well tenchincally you are an animal, maybe Ii should buy you a leash." I whispered into his ear, biting his earlobe playfully before skipping away in the direction of the leaky cauldron. I could feel his eyes roam over my body and settle on my arse as I skipped away from him, smiling at the knowledge that he was checking me out.
