A.N. — Today is David Thewlis' birthday. Since he played Remus Lupin in the movies, and his drabble is already done, how about giving some love to his mother today? Although, the woman's name is just a bit too on the nose...
79. Hope Lupin
Boggarts engendered conflicting feelings in Hope Lupin.
On one hand, a boggart in a forest had brought Lyall Lupin and magic into her life. Hope had been so struck by the event that her wedding cake topper was a boggart.
Now Hope was older and more jaded. Her only son, Remus, had a fairly innocuous looking boggart — unless one knew about his "furry little secret." Then, the gently floating, glowing orb took on sinister connotations befitting a Dark creature. On the bad days, Hope didn't know if the "creature" she was referring to was the boggart or Remus' inner wolf.
A.N. 2 — I got bogged down with work and missed my posting window by nearly four hours today. That will dictate a lot of evening posting this upcoming week. So, if you've been looking for this story to update early in the afternoon, just a heads-up.
