Chapter 4: A Possible Cure/Problem Solver

          Remus Lupin looked up from his work. He could not decide on what lesson plan to go with, for tomorrow's class. He didn't have to worry about dementors, or anything else that plagued his first year as a teacher. Besides he couldn't teach about boggarts or patronus until later on in the year. He was starting to get a headache thinking about the next day. "We will just talk about summer hols and what DADA means to them," Remus shouted in victory. He realized that he was hungry, he didn't' go to the feast. He didn't want to cause too much of a ruckus with his return as a professor. He decided to head down to the kitchen for a snack.

          On his way down to the kitchen he stated to think about the impeding full moon. He really wished there was a cure for lycanthropy. He decided to ask Albus about that idea. Remus reached out to tickle the pear, but before he could open the door it opened in front of him.

"Oh Albus, I was just thinking about talking to you."

"Ah yes Remus. Why don't you come on here and talk with me now? You don't mind if Minerva joins us do you?"

"Not at all."

"Twinkle, would you please get Mr. Lupin a plate of leftovers from diner, and some Butterbeer?"

"Yeses Sir, Mr. Headmaster sir."

"Thank you Twinkle." With that Twinkle curtly bowed, then 'popped' away.

"Remus, dear boy come site with us." As Remus sat down Twinkle showed up with a huge plate of food and a nice warm mug of Butterbeer.

"Thank you Twinkle. Albus what I wanted to talk to you about is a cure for me. I have some leads from books and studies, but I need authorisation and a professional."

"Oh Albus, this is a wonderful chance," Minerva squealed like she was a teenager once more.

"That it is Minerva. Remus, we were just discussing the fact that we need something to occupy Severus. He is usually in a better mood when a heavy task is upon him."

"I would have never guessed," Remus lost it then. He could not hold back the laughter.

"Sorry about that Albus. I was just imaging Snape in a better mood. That is just amusing."

Severus is capable of being a nice man," Minerva said trying to enter the conversation.

"I hate to eat and run from conversation, but I should be getting to bed. Goodnight Albus, Minerva. And thank you very much for helping me with this." Remus got up and swiftly left the kitchen.

"Oh Albus! Can you believe it? It's perfect," Minerva was glowing with happiness.

"It is just the opportunity we were looking for Minerva."

"What are you telling Severus?"

"I think I will just as him as a favour and see what he says. If he doesn't mention an assistant, then I will mention it for him." Albus' eyes twinkled wildly at that.

          With that they headed out of the kitchen. Minerva went back to her quarters, and Albus headed straight for the Dungeons.
