There was quite a bit of heckling and laughter coming from Mrs. Figgs house. Harry was certain that anyone passing by would be shocked to hear old Mrs. Figg was throwing or party. Mrs. Figg had actually excused her self from them immediately. "I need to go inform Albus.", she explained rushing off to the kitchen.

Sirius stood and led Remus to the couch, "So tell me all about this werelass, Remus"

Remus' blush could have lit a stadium at midnight. Alex smiled and set Lee- Lee in Snapes lap. "I am going to make some tea.", she said smiling at Remus.

"Is she pwetty?" Lee-Lee squealed from Snapes lap.

"Yes, she is very pretty." Snape said and looked at Remus sympathetically. Harry was no stranger to the magic pretty girls had. Cho had left him tongue tied before, and he was sure Remus was feeling the same way.

"She was attacked by a werewolf when she was 16 years old. Her parents locked her into the cellar each full moon. She has led a relatively normal life. She moved to Europe in hopes of finding a cure." Snape explained.

"Where is she from?" Harry asked. He noticed it felt extremely odd to refer to Coach Witherspoon as "she".

"America." Remus finally said.

"An American woman? Whoo! Remus she sounds like a wild one." Sirius said winking at his old friend.

Remus turned several shades of red. "She isn't wild Sirius. She is a very respectable teacher."

"So, when is the next date?" Sirius said, poking Remus.

Snape cleared his throat, "The full moon. I have offered to supply her with the wolfsbane potion. Remus offered for her to stay with him during that time in order to keep an eye on her."

"Really?" Sirius said. "We will have to fix the place up then. Candles, wine, and a bubble bath perhaps?"

"Don't be ridiculous Sirius! She needs to be observed while she takes the wolfsbane potion for the first few times. She is a muggle and Severus isn't sure what is going to happen as it has never been tested on muggles before." Remus said glaring at Sirius.

Sirius grinned, "Of course, of course. Let's save the bubble bath for the second date." Harry was trying, with difficulty, not to laugh. Poor Remus looked like he was going to burst he face was so red.

"Ahem," Alex said coming into the room carrying a tray, "Will one of you gentlemen help me with this?"

Sirius jumped up, "Of course." He said taking the tray from her and setting it on the coffee table.

"So, ", Harry said adding honey to his tea, "Dudley is safe? I don't understand though. If she isn't a witch, how did she manage to motivate him without magic?"

Alex grinned, "Never underestimate the power a beautiful woman has over men."

Lee-Lee started giggling. Mrs. Figg entered the room and picked her up. "Ok, Severus, all done using the floo. Why don't you and Harry start on dinner?"

Snape stood and headed for the kitchen, "Coming, Potter?" Lee-Lee hopped off of Mrs. Figgs lap and tugged Harry's hand, "Come on" she squealed excitedly.

**** **** **** **** **** **** ****\

Snape used magic to help things along. Their conversation remained civil, almost friendly Harry thought. Lee-Lee loved cooking. Snape set up a little space for her at the table to "cut vegetable". When he noticed Harry's alarmed look he explained that the knife was charmed only to cut vegetables.

"Here," Lee-Lee said wiping her hands on her shirt. "I finissed cutting dem."

Harry noted that she had done an oddly immaculate job. The carrots were all perfectly cut in cubes. He was sure the knife was charmed for more than Lee-Lees protection.

"Sevis" Lee Lee said seriously. "She is gonna wake up soon."

"Who is going to wake soon?" Snape said stirring the carrots into the stew.

"Saweena." She said as if his question was ridiculous.

Snape stiffened and Harry heard him take in a sharp breath. "Thank you for helping Lee-Lee why don't you go tell the others that dinner is nearly ready." He said without turning from the stove.

"K" she said hopping off of the stool.

When she had gone into the other room Harry asked, "Are you alright, Professor?"

"Yes, I am fine. Why wouldn't I be, "Snape said turning to face Harry.

"Because she brought up your wife." Harry answered.

Snape glared at Harry, "How did you know? Black! That blabbering bastard."

Snape rushed across the room and pointed his finger in Harry s face. "If you breathe a word of my wifes condition to the other students you will wish you had never been born, Potter."

"I would never!" Harry said affronted.

Snape relaxed and walked back over to check on the stew. "Did he also tell you that she was carrying our child? She was nine months pregnant."

"Yes," Harry answered. "What happened to the baby?"

"She died as well." Snape said sadly.

"All because of Voldemort!" Harry hissed.

"Yes." Snape said.

The others joined them. Sirius and Remus set the table with Lee-Lees help. Dinner was fantastic and everyone complimented them. After dinner they all sat around watching television. When Lee-Lee fell asleep they all headed for bed.

Harry went to bed smiling. Staying with Mrs. Figg was not at all what he thought it would be like. He was definitely going to enjoy this summer.
