"Kassidy what's wrong?" Remus asked in a low tone as she stared out the restaurant window.

"Did you know about Potter and Black?" Kassidy asked turning to face him.

"Yes," He told her. Sirius had decided to disown his family and he went to go live with the Potters, he thought he told her about that.

"You did?" Kassidy asked, her eyes nearly bulging out of her head. He KNEW they were gay?

"Of course, they are my friends,"

"…and your okay with that?" Kassidy asked.

"Yes, I'm actually glad, they get along really well so why wouldn't they?" Remus asked.

Kassidy's face contorted into an unreadable expression. "How long?"

"How long what?"

"How long have they… been like that?"

"they've talked about it for awhile but they just recently decided to actually do it,"

Kassidy made an odd noise that sounded between a snort and a gag.

"What?"

Kassidy shook her head and wriggled her shoulders. She wasn't homophobic, it was just she though they were straight, James had tried to date Lily and Sirius was always checking her out and slapping her ass whenever Remus wasn't looking.

"Did you order?" A deep voice interrupted and they looked up to see a tall dark haired man standing next to the table.

"Yeah we did," Remus said smiling. "It's nice to see you dad,"

"You too," Mr. Lupin said shaking his sons hand warmly.

"Uh, dad this is Kassidy," Remus said turning to her.

"It's nice to meet you," Kassidy said standing up and shaking his hand.

"Indeed," His father said giving Remus a hard look. He loved his son but he didn't believe that having a girlfriend with his condition was wise. "Where's your mum?"

"In the loo," Kassidy said laughing. "Sorry, I love saying that word," She apologized to Mr. Lupin.

"You're not from around here?" Mr. Lupin said sitting down across from them.

"No, I'm from Wisconsin,"

"America?"

"That's the one,"

"How do you two know each other?"

"School," Remus told his dad.

"Ahh, so you live here in England then?"

"Just a hop, skip and jump away," She told him smiling in thanks as the waiter set down their drinks.

It was silent as Mr. Lupin looked over the menu and Remus and Kassidy took a sip from their sodas.

"So, uh, what do you do Mr. Lupin?" Kassidy asked though with a strong disapproving look from Remus.

"I'm in the insurance business,"

"Oh, how's it treating you?"

Remus sank down in his seat, talking about work with his dad when he wasn't at work was a HUGE mistake.

"I actually don't talk about busniness outside of the office," Mr. Lupin snapped at her.

"Oh," Kassidy said taken back at his severe tone.

While Mr. Lupin ordered Remus and Kassidy had a quick and hushed conversation.

"Why did you ask about work?" Remus whispered.

"Because I didn't know it was such a touchy subject," She hissed back.

"Well, don't mention that, politics, religion, or football,"

"I thought you said your dad liked football?"

"Not since his teams been on a losing streak."

"Oh, so what do I say?"

"Nothing let my mum do it for you,"

They both sat up quickly as Mrs. Lupin appeared back to the table and greeted her husband.

"Have you met Kassidy yet?" Mrs. Lupin asked her husband, he grunted in response.

'What a dick,' Kassidy thought slightly narrowing her eyes at him.

"Well, I think its wonderful you've finally got a girlfriend," His mum said taking a sip of her ice tea.

"Muuum," Remus said glancing at his father noting the disapproved look on his face.

"Well she is isn't she?"

Remus nodded making Kassidy smile.

"Then what else am I supposed to call it? You don't call a rose a Daisy now do you?"

"No, I guess not," Remus said giving up.

"What year are you dear?"

"I just finished my first year,"

"First year?" Mrs. Lupin asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I-uh- got in a little late," Kassidy faltered.

"Oh, so how old are you?"

Kassidy didn't know how to answer that one.

"She'll be 17 in October," Remus told his parents quickly, Kassidy nodded with a smile.

"Oh, so you're not much older than Remus," Mrs. Lupin said smiling.

"No, not much," Kassidy said with a large smile which Remus knew to be fake. His parents however, didn't.

Lunch didn't go by fast enough for Kassidy, she swore the cooks knew she was in a hurry and slowed down for pure spite. Mrs. Lupin was pleasant enough, Mr. Lupin on the other hand was a downright bitch. He hardly said ten words to her and was always giving Remus disapproving looks.

"Hey, so I'll uh, see you later," Kassidy said pulling her trunk out of their car.

"Are you sure we cant give you a ride dear?" Mrs. Lupin asked.

"Oh no, its just right down the street," Kassidy told them. "You'll write?"

"Yeah," Remus promised.

"Good, it was nice to meet you all," Kassidy said.

"You too, stop by the house anytime you want dear," Mrs. Lupin offered.

"Thanks, bye!"

Remus waved to her as she started down the street. He knew his family wasn't what she expected, especially his dad. But Remus didn't know how to explain the way they treated him without telling Kassidy that he was a werewolf, which would not go over well.

"She seems like a very nice girl," Mrs. Lupin remarked as she drove her son home.

"She is," Remus assured. 'Unless your name is James Potter or Sirius Black,' He thought with a grin.

"You going to write her tonight?"

"MUM!" Remus groaned.

"What? A mother can't know what goes on in her son's life?"

"Fine, yes I'll write to her and I'll profess my undying love and devotion for her how's that?"

"A bit extreme," His mum commented pulling up into their driveway.

Remus shook his head and sighed. This summer looked like it was going to be very bleak. Little did he know that in fact, his summer was going to be almost more than he could handle.
