Fred's POV

I watched my Mum's reaction as Brownie told her what she was.

'How?' she whispered. You could tell she was shocked. I don't think she was as angry as Dad though. I knelt down by Brownie again, holding her hand.

'Professor Lupin's a werewolf. He didn't get to take his potion as he was doing something else. He turned into a werewolf and tried to get Harry. I jumped in front of him and he scratched me.' Brownie said sadly. Mum broke into tears. She broke out of Dad's grip and ran forward, hugging Brownie. My expression was priceless. Mum didn't mind...

'You brave, brave girl. You put Harry before yourself. Even though it would be a permanent effect for you.' Mum sobbed. I could see Dad's expression had softened when she said she was protecting Harry. I looked at him, as if asking permission for me to continue dating her. I would anyway, it'd just be nicer if I had his permission. He nodded and I sighed. Brownie hugged Mum back.

'I couldn't have him hurt. But I'm not allowed to stay at my parents anymore...' she sobbed. Mum nodded. She understood why.

'Then you'll stay with us.' Mum said simply. I nodded. Dad nodded more reluctantly. Brownie shook her head.

'What if I hurt-'

'-You can't though. You'l have the potion. You'll just stay in a room we'll block off for you.' Dad said. He was obviously fine with the situation now as he walked forward and knelt down beside her. Brownie sobbed. I knew she wanted to stay.

'Please, love.' I begged. She nodded her head reluctantly and I kissed her lips. 'Thank you.' I said. She kissed me back and nodded.

'Freddie? Do you feel repulsed by me?' she asked quietly. Mum and Dad could tell this was a conversation they did not want to be listening to and left. My eyes widened.

'No. I love you. Every bit of you. Including this scar. Including this werewolfness. It just makes me love you more.' I admitted. She had been so brave. I knew she was a real Gryffindor. She had taken this. For Harry. Like she said in the common room when she first said You-Know-Who's name. Her eyes shimmered with tears.

'I love you so much, Freddie. I was worried you would leave me.' she sobbed. I shook my head.

'I promised I'd never leave you.'

'Can you get Madame Pomfrey? I want to ask her some questions about my condition.' Brownie whispered. I nodded and went to get her. I knocked on her office.

'Come in!' she called. I walked in. 'Ah, Mr Weasley...?'

'Fred. Brownie wants to ask you some questions about her condition...' I explained. She nodded and came out. I knelt by Brownie again. She opened her mouth. And closed it. Then she opened it again. She sighed.

'What's going to be different about my life.' she asked. Pomfrey sighed.

'I think I'd better call an expert in.' she said as she cast a Patronus, carrying a message. I didn't know who to, but it leapt away. About 5 minutes later the door opened.

Lupin.

I got up and ran forward. I punched him hard in the face.

'FRED!' Brownie screamed. I shook my hand and walked back to her. I saw Lupin put his hand to his face.

'I would normally take points away for that Mr Weasley, but I understand. I am so sorry, Bronnie.' he said sadly. Brownie shook her head.

'It's alright, you weren't in your proper state of mind. Now, I have some questions.' she said before he could interrupt. 'What will be different about my life?' she asked again. Lupin sighed.

'Well. Every full moon you'll change into a werewolf. But due to the Wolfsbane potion, you'll still have your mind as long as you take it the coming days to the full moon. Apart from that nothing I don't think.' he said quietly. Brownie shook her head.

'Apart from that. I'll rephrase. What if some day I were to get pregnant?' she asked bravely, knowing the reaction that would come. I had always thought of having kids. I had always wanted kids. What if I couldn't have any? I blushed and Lupin looked embarrased, before answering.

Now. Unless you'd like to be hurt in some way... Review! :D
