chapter 4

Christmas was a great relief for everyone though they were all loaded down with tons of homework too.

Harry never had such a Christmas before he literally had hundreds of presents. Everything from clothes to games to books to even a half pitch on the property with a set of quidditch balls and bats. The Weasley's came to help break it in.

Hermione had come to spend Christmas with them. Remus and Sirius gave them suggestions on what to do with the DA while they were eating Christmas lunch.

Rosemary said "I think we should teach the Patronus charm at the next meeting. I don't know if anyone will get it but we should try to teach it. It might take until the end of term for them to get it if at all. It isn't an easy spell."

Harry excitedly said "maybe we could get a boggart to practice on."

Remus said "that won't work even if you could get one. Remember what I taught you a boggart takes the form of each individuals greatest fear. A dementor is your greatest fear but it isn't everyone's."

Harry said "I suppose it won't do much good to cast a Patronus at Neville's boggart even if he could summon a happy enough memory with Snape leering down at him."

Harry then chuckled at the memory of Snape in Neville's grandmothers clothes and said "I will never forget the way he looked in that hat."

Hermione and Remus chuckled too as they remembered too.

Rosemary asked "When does the moon rise tonight?"

Remus frowned and sighed "11:15"

She smiled at him got up and said "I better get started on the potion then. I will clean up when I am done."

Hermione said "we can clean up and when you are done with the potion you can give me another piano lesson."

Rosemary smiled and said "alright but you have to teach me how to knit."

Hermione smiled and said "it's a deal."

When Rosemary was done making the potion she went to Remus's room he was reading and she shut the door behind her.

He looked up when she came in the potion in her hand was not the wolfsbane potion he asked "Rosemary what is this?"

Rosemary looked nervous and asked "do you trust me? If I were to tell you something unbelievable. A secret that is very secret, would you believe me?"

Remus took her hands gently in his and said "sit down."

Rosemary sat next to him he asked gently "is this about you being from the future?"

Rosemary looked at him shocked and asked "you know? How long have you known?"

Remus tucked a loose hair behind her ear and said "Yes I know. Lily and I were very good friends and I know she has no cousins. Sirius and Harry do not know but the day after you came to stay with us I went to Dumbledore. I wanted to make sure you weren't a threat to Harry. He told me the truth of who you are and where you came from. So what is this potion and what do you need to tell me."

Rosemary blinked away some unshed tears then said "it is good to know you know the truth, that is one thing I won't have to explain. As I am sure you can imagine in the next 70 odd years many new spells and potions are created. I have a natural talent for potions. Dumbledore told me not to reveal the things I know. But I care about you Remus, deeply and seeing you suffer every full moon I can't take it anymore, not when I know I can do something about it. Please take the potion but keep it secret."

Remus said in barely a whisper hardly daring to believe what she made him think what this potion was "is this a cure, a real cure?"

Rosemary nodded and said "you only have to take it the one time it makes wolfsbane taste like pumpkin juice and it causes great pain but once it is done you will never change again. If you don't want it I have the wolfsbane potion downstairs. I better go give Hermione her piano lesson."

Rosemary got up she gave him a quick kiss then ran out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Remus locked the door put up a silencing spell then got down on the floor so he wouldn't injure himself or destroy his belongings if he thrashed around from the pain then as quickly as he could he drank down the potion his years of drinking Wolfsbane thankfully had deadened his gag reflux it was nearly impossible to get and keep down he laid down it didn't take long at all for the pain to start it was a slow building burning starting in his gut eventually spreading throughout his entire body it was so great it made him pass out.

Remus woke up in bed with Rosemary laying next to him with her arm over him her head resting on his chest. Her long wavy black hair falling over her face. He gently pushed it aside and looked down at her pretty round face.

Rosemary wasn't fat by any means but she did have a rather pleasant plumpness to her. She had large cheeks that always had a slight blush to them her lips were full and soft she had large breasts and prominent hips and a substantial ass. Her curly lashes cast half circle shadows on her cheeks in the early morning light coming through the window. She had the perfect body shape to carry children.

He had always been afraid to get close to any girl or woman. He didn't want to pass on his affliction to a child and what kind of husband could he make as a werewolf. He had trouble holding down jobs wizarding laws made it nearly impossible. However Sirius was supporting him financially. Rosemary would graduate from school this summer then she could start her career in whatever she wanted to do. Remus had never been with a woman before but because of Rosemary he no longer had to worry about the possibility of passing on the werewolf genes to a child. She said she was fond of him and she had kissed him, did she really mean she love him? She said it had to be secret and he agreed with that. He was not against being a stay at home father he actually enjoyed domestic work and it gave him plenty of time to read and study. It was not a use of his real talent but what could be better then raising his children. He knew he was getting way ahead of himself with these thoughts. The first thing he needed to do was wake Rosemary so he could thank her and they could talk. At the moment he was quiet enjoying her soft warm body against him. She was wearing a pretty white cotton night gown with little pink rosebuds it reached just below her knees and it was trimmed with lace along the neck and sleeves. It made her look much younger then she really was.

Rosemary began making whimpering noises in her sleep then giggled a bit and moan then she called out his name. He realized she was having a sex dream about him and he decided to wake her and make her dreams come true.

Rosemary woke to his kisses and was very pleased to find him willing to share his bed with her.

It was mid morning and Sirius, Harry and Hermione were downstairs. Rosemary was normally an early riser as was Remus but it was not uncommon for Remus to sleep in the morning after the full moon. He worried what was keeping Rosemary so he went upstairs to check on her. Her room was empty maybe she had gone to check on Remus. He opened the door gently then quickly shut it before they saw that he had seen. He chuckled and went back down stairs he never would have pegged Rosemary as the kind to have tattoos but he had noticed a few as he saw her nude body riding Remus. This had been the best Christmas any of them had in a very long time.

When Remus and Rosemary came downstairs he had his arm around her and they both where happy and smiling.

Sirius smirked and said "good afternoon it is good of you both to decide to grace us with your presence."

Rosemary giggle and Remus said "we got hungry."

Remus fixed up some soup and sandwiches. Hermione was practicing on the piano and from the sound of it Harry and the Weasley's were outside playing Quidditch. After lunch Rosemary joined Harry and the others playing quidditch and after dinner she gave Hermione another piano lesson at the end of the day she retired with Remus to his room.

The rest of the Christmas break was bliss they finished up their homework spent time together and Rosemary and Remus made love a lot.
