Chapter 11: Diagon Alley
"Alex, is today Thursday?" Remus asked the next evening, looking down at his lunar calendar. Alexandra was in the kitchen, washing the dishes.
"No, today is Friday." Came the reply.
"Oh no." Remus said, smacking his forehead with his calendar.
"What? What is it?" Alexandra asked, coming out of the kitchen.
"Tonight is a full moon." Remus whispered with his voice shook. He looked at Alexandra with his eyes filled with fear. "You better stay away from me tonight."
"Where's your Wolfsbane Potion?" Alexandra asked in concern.
"In my bag, I will get it." Remus said quickly, ran to Alexandra's room where he had left his backpack and rummaged through it for his potion.
"No, no, no...." Remus muttered as he took out his books and clothes. "Ah! Here it is!" He said and took out a bottle of Wolfsbane Potion. He opened it and curled his lip in disgust. "I hate the taste of it." He sniffed it. "I hate the smell of it too."
"Drink it, Remus, it is for your own good." Alexandra said firmly, leaning against the door.
Remus sighed. "Here goes nothing." He said and drank the potion in one go. "Yuck." He said and tried not to throw up.
"Need anything?" Alexandra asked frantically.
Remus put his hand to his mouth and waved his other hand, meaning that he didn't need anything. He paused for a while and looked at Alexandra. He removed his hand and managed to say: "Where's the guest room? I am going to stay there for the night."
Alexandra pointed at another room down the corridor.
***
At 10.30pm, Alexandra was about to go into to her bedroom when she stopped. She turned and stared at Remus' room. At 8pm, she heard Remus' cries from his room, she wanted to help him but she knew that Remus would not like it if she went anywhere near him in his werewolf form, whether he had drank the potion or not. But still.... She began to walk towards his room. Maybe she would have just a look to see if he was all right. She stopped outside Remus' room and grasped the doorknob. She turned it and opened the door slowly and quietly. She poked her head in and saw Remus in werewolf form, sleeping on the cold floor. Alexandra raised her eyebrows at what she had seen. Remus didn't look as hideous as books and media described, he looked more like an innocent wolf with a torn shirt and jeans on. Before Alexandra could stop herself, she went to Remus and shook him to wake him up.
Remus opened his eyes and his eyes widened at the sight of his fiancée. As he couldn't talk, he growled, which means: "I thought I told you not to come near me."
As if Alexandra could understand his growl, she said: "I just come to see if you are okay. But seems like you are not. Remus, if you want to sleep, sleep on the bed."
Remus got up from the floor and sat down on the bed.
"Good, then I must go back to bed now." Alexandra said and noticed that Remus was looking at her longingly. "Remus, is it just me or....."
Remus whined and continued to look at her.
Alexandra edged towards Remus slowly. Then she hesitated for a while and reached out to touch him. She patted his head and if she wasn't mistaken, she thought that her fiancé was smiling. She sat down a few inches away from him and Remus responded by putting his arm around her and pulled her close.
He licked her face and Alexandra giggled. "Who is the one who says that I mustn't go near him?" She asked.
Remus raised his hairy hand (or is it paw?) and Alexandra laughed. "Remus, I just realized something. If I want to marry you, I need to get used to your werewolf form." Remus responded by giving her another lick. "Stop it, that tickles."
Remus grinned and began to lick her face, then her neck. Alexandra laughed as hard as she could, then she fell back on the bed. Remus pounced on her and continued to lick her.
"S-stop it, Remus, I.... beg... you....." Alexandra said breathlessly and Remus stopped. He lay down beside her and stared at her lovingly. "You know, you looked cute, for a werewolf." Remus didn't respond. He put his head on the pillow and yawned, showing his sharp teeth again. "Ooooo, Grandpa, what big teeth you have." Alexandra said playfully. Remus struck out his tongue, as if he was going to lick her again. "All right, all right, I'm sorry, pretend that I didn't say that...."
***
The next morning, when Alexandra woke up, she saw Remus in his human form, lying beside her, smiling. "Morning."
"Good morning." Remus said and kissed her forehead. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Fine."
"What time is it?" Alexandra asked.
"9am. Alex, why don't we buy our engagement rings today?" Remus asked seriously.
Alexandra nodded. "The sooner, the better. I want to let that slimeball to see it. Hope that he will back off.... but where will we go?"
"You'll see." Remus said mysteriously.
***
After breakfast, Remus and Alexandra went to London and they stopped outside the bookshop and the record shop. As the new school term was starting, the street was crowded with children and parents.
"Okay, Alex, close your eyes." Remus said.
Alexandra gave a frown.
"Oh come on, it is a surprise." Remus urged.
Alexandra rolled her eyes and closed her eyes. Remus waved his hand in front of her and then he opened the door of Leaky Cauldron.
Hagrid was drinking a glass of mulled mead when he saw Remus. "Hi...."
Remus silenced him by putting his finger on his lips. Hagrid looked bewildered. Remus leaned forward and whispered as softly as he could. "I am giving my fiancée a surprise. I want to show her Diagon Alley."
"Yeh are getting married to Alexandra?" Hagrid asked, delighted. He remembered Remus' pretty girlfriend from the beach very well.
Remus grinned and nodded. "See you later." He whispered and continued to lead Alexandra to the courtyard.
"Can I open them now?" Alexandra asked.
"No." Remus said, taking out his wand that he had brought along and tapped the bricks three times. The bricks moved and soon Diagon Alley appeared. "Okay, you can open them now."
Alexandra opened them and gasped in amazement.
"Welcome, Alexandra, to Diagon Alley."
"Is it real?" Alexandra managed to ask.
"Of course it is real!" Remus said, laughing as he took Alexandra's hand and led her into the crowded street that both of them knew so well.
"There's Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasion! And there's Ollivanders! And on my God, there's the Quality Quidditch Supplies!" Alexandra said excitedly.
Remus grinned and grasped her hand tighter, so that she wouldn't wander off in excitement. "Alex, look, there's Flourish and Blotts! And there's Harry!" He pointed and Alexandra turned her head away from the Quality Quidditch Supplies to look at the real Harry Potter, who was standing in the shop. She gasped at the real Harry, who looked exactly like the older version of Daniel Radcliffe. But he was taller than Daniel; his eyes were as green as emeralds and he didn't have his glasses on. He was examining "Standard Book of Spells Grade 7" and muttering something like: "My last year, wonder what I am going to do after this year..."
"Hi Harry!" Remus said cheerfully and stepped into the shop.
Harry looked up and grinned. "Hi Professor!" He turned his head and called: "Hermione! Ron! Guess who is here!"
Hermione and Ron came out from the inner part of the shop and greeted Remus.
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, this is my fiancée, Alexandra." Remus said, smiling as he put his arm around Alexandra's shoulders.
Hermione and Ron's mouth dropped open. "You are getting married?!" Both of them exclaimed in unison.
Harry didn't look surprise. "I heard about Miss Alexandra. Congratulations." He then grinned. "You are prettier than I thought."
Alexandra blushed. "And you look exactly like Daniel Radcliffe."
Harry raised his eyebrow. "Really? I'm not sure what Daniel Radcliffe looks like, every time when the movie's trailer is on the television, Uncle Vernon switches it off."
Hermione looked at Harry carefully. "I have seen the movie, now that you have mentioned it, Harry do look like Daniel."
"Aw, the girls in the Gryffindor house will be very disappointed when they heard about your engagement." Ron grinned and Hermione elbowed him in the ribs. "Ouch!"
"Congratulations." Hermione smiled. "By the way, are you a Muggle-born? How do you know about Daniel Radcliffe?"
"I'm a pure Muggle." Alexandra grinned.
"Did someone just say "pure Muggle" ?" A voice asked and Alexandra looked up from Hermione. "You are....." She started.
"Hello, Mr. Weasley. Alex, I am sure that you know who this is." Remus said. "Mr. Weasely, this is my Muggle fiancée."
"Mr. Arthur Weasley, hello!" Alexandra said, holding out her hand. "Pleased to meet you."
"I'm very delighted to see you!" Mr. Weasley said, shaking her hand enthusiastically. "You know, I am working in Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, and I am very interested in Muggles. Why don't we go for a drink at Leaky Cauldron, just you, Professor Lupin and myself next time when we meet? Can I ask you questions about your world by then? I ask Harry and the Grangers but it never seems enough..."
"Sure! I'm as interested in your world as you are in mine." Alexandra said cheerfully.
"Great!" Mr. Weasley said and turned to Ron. "Ron, we better go, your mother has been asking about you...See you next time!"
"Say hi to your family for me!" Alexandra said, as if she had known the Weasleys for ages and waved goodbye to Mr. Weasley and Ron.
"Hermione, are you ready to go yet?" Hermione's mother asked.
"Just two more books to get. Mom, this is Alexandra, Professor Lupin's fiancée. She is a Muggle too." Hermione introduced.
"Hello." Alexandra said and shook Mrs. Granger's hand. "Isn't it just great to have a girl like Hermione for your daughter? Remus mentioned that she is the smartest witch in Gryffindor."
"I know, and I am proud of her. She is good in everything." Mrs. Granger said.
"Except for wizard chess." Harry grinned and Hermione stomped his foot. "Ouch! And she has bad temper!" He added and Hermione glared at him.
"Well, we have got to go and buy our rings." Remus said and they waved Hermione, Harry and Mrs. Granger goodbye.
"So Remus, where is the jewelry shop? I don't remember reading about a jewelry shop...." Alexandra said as they walked past Eeylops Owl Emporium.
"Aha! Whoever is writing books on Harry doesn't know everything, do they?" Remus asked.
Alexandra didn't respond.
"Here we are. Aphrodite's Jewelry." Remus said, stopping outside a fancy shop with necklaces and rings displayed on the display window.
They went in and a beautiful lady with blond hair and blue eyes attended to them immediately. "Ah! Are you two here to buy rings?" She asked cheerfully.
"That's right!" Remus said, grinning.
"Sit down." The lady, Aphrodite, said, pointing at the two stools beside a glass case of jewels, which had no top.
Remus and Alexandra sat down and Aphrodite went behind the jewel box. "Now which pair of rings do you want?" She asked.
"I want a plain one. As for Alexandra, well, she will decide." Remus said.
"I want a ring with a sapphire." Alexandra said.
"I thought diamonds are girls' best friends." Remus said in an interested tone.
"Not me, I prefer sapphires." Alexandra said.
"Female Sapphire Wingardium Leviosa." Aphrodite said, waving her wand and rings with sapphires floated out of the glass case. "Take your pick."
Alexandra was choosing over the sea of sapphires when Remus spotted something and patted Alexandra's shoulder excitedly. "What?"
"Alex, how about that?" Remus asked, pointing at a ring with a tiny butterfly-shaped sapphire with sliver outlining the sapphire.
"Oh my god! It is beautiful!" Alexandra said and pointed at that ring. "May I look at that?"
"Accio butterfly!" Aphrodite said, pointing her wand at the ring and it flew to her hand. She presented it to Alexandra and Alexandra took it. "I think it suits you."
Alexandra put on the ring and showed it to Remus. "How is it?"
"It is so you." Remus said shortly.
"I think I will take it." Alexandra said, smiling.
"Good!" Aphrodite said, clapping her hands. She waved her wand and the rings went back to their positions. "So sir, which one do you like?" She asked, turning to Remus.
"Give me a white gold one." Remus said.
"Male Plain White Gold Wingardium Leviosa."
And plain white gold rings flew out.
Remus chose a thin white gold ring and Aphrodite asked: "Do you two want anything to be engrave on the rings?"
"Will it take long?" Alexandra asked.
"Of course not, I use magic." Aphrodite said.
"Okay, engrave the both of our rings with the words: "I Love Thee"." Remus said, smiling.
"Aw, how sweet." Aphrodite said, took the rings, put them on a tiny cushion, pointed at them and said: "Engrave I Love Thee."
"There, how is that?" Aphrodite asked, showing Remus and Alexandra the rings. Both of them had the words "I Love Thee" in their inner side.
"Excellent, we will take them." Remus said. "How much are they?"
"80 Galleons." Aphrodite said.
"Charge it to my account in Gringotts. Vault number 510. The name is Remus Lupin." Remus said.
"Remus, don't you think that it is a little expensive?" Alexandra asked after they had stepped out of the shop.
"Don't you like the ring?" Remus asked back.
"Yes. Very much. And I love it." Alexandra smiled.
"Good." Remus said and then put his arm over Alexandra's shoulders. "I want my bride to be the happiest one of the wizarding world."
