The Truth About Remus

Chapter Nineteen

It was a Saturday – finally a Saturday! I had never been so thankful for a day off. The N.E.W.T.'s classes and were James constantly sending me glares were getting the best of me. Though, none of that was going to get me down because it was a Saturday – no homework, no angry glances: just fun and relaxation with the man of my dreams – and my reality. I walked into the Great Hall with a smile on my face. Nothing on this day could get me down.

"Hey, guys," I said in a perky sort of tone as I took my usual spot beside Remus, "Today is such a beautiful day! The sun is shining and…can you smell the springtime in the air?"

Sirius blinked at me; he isn't a morning person, "I only smell breakfast."

Remus smiled and hugged me, "I smell it, Love. What makes you so happy on this day?"

"The fact that I am going to spend it with you," I exclaimed, "I have no work, no stress and my only priority is Remus Lupin."

"Ah, but m'lady, what is there to do at Hogwarts except for study?"

"Who says that you have to stay at Hogwarts," James asked.

Remus cocked an eyebrow at his friend, "What are you getting at, Prongs?"

James leaned over the table and muttered, "I'll give you tow the Marauder's Map and Invisibility Cloak, and you can sneak into Hogsmeade for a day of love and lust."

Remus and I grinned at his proposal.

"Hey, you got mad at me for sneaking into Hogsmeade," Bill exclaimed to us, "How come you get to do it?"

"Stryker, there are some things that you must know about the Marauders," I began to explain, "One of those things is that we are skilled in the art of stealth."

"Thumper and I can get in and out of Hogsmeade unnoticed," Remus joined in, "Do not worry about us. We wont get caught."

"So you'll take me up on my offer," James asked with a sly grin.

"You bet, boyo," I said,

"Well, what are we waiting for," he asked and the three of us stood and walked to his dorm.

James handed Remus the Invisibility Cloak and I the Marauder's Map. I tapped the tip of my wand to the blank face of the parchment.

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good."

As I finished this, ink began to appear in the middle of the parchment and spread to the tips.

Welcome, Thumper! Mr. Moony could not help but pop in and compliment you on your radiant beauty on this fine morning!

I smiled and watched as Sirius' text began to appear.

Mr. Padfoot would like to inform Mr. Moony that he is causing Mr. Prongs to hurl!

I giggled slightly as I saw James' handwriting show up.

Indeed, Mr. Padfoot is correct…Mr. Prongs is going to hurl…((retching sounds)).

Alas, I saw what I had been waiting for…my own response.

Mistress Thumper would like to smack Mr. Padfoot and Mr. Prongs and acknowledge how kind Mr. Moony's compliment was. Thank you, Mr. Moony.

Anytime, Mistress Thumper.

Moony's last words spread and expanded into a set of intricate lines. At the top of it, it said:

Mssrs. Moony, Padfoot, Prongs and the delicate Mistress Thumper, Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief Makers are proud to present:

The Marauder's Map

I smiled as I watched the small dots that represented the people moving through the school spring up from inside the page.

"What looked like the safest way to get in," Remus asked, looking over my shoulder.

"We couldn't get under the Whomping Willow this time of day…a bunch of fourth years are hanging around the one-eyed witch, Mrs. Norris is on the fourth floor…the best bet is going down to the dungeons, through the wall that pushes open at the password and through the trap door near the very end of the corridor," I told him.

"That will take us into the cellar of Hog's Head," Remus mumbled, "I think we can pull it off."

"Of course you can," James exclaimed, "You two are Marauders! Now get out there and defy the world in secret!"

I laughed and blew James a kiss as Remus threw the Invisibility Cloak over top of us. We held the Map between the two of us as we trekked stealthily through the corridors and finally through the trap door. The cellar of Hog's Head was damp and musty. The part that we had entered in wasn't used much and is one of the safest ways to sneak into Hogsmeade. Remus and I slid easily out of Hog's Head and into the village.

"What should we do," I asked in a whisper, "we can't go into the Three Broomsticks or Zonko's to buy anything – the people there know us."

"Don't worry about it," he replied, "I have to show you something anyway. I was going to wait until next Hogsmeade trip, but this is too good – I am about to bust."

"What is it? What?"

"Shhh! Just follow me!"

He took my hand, and under invisibility, he quickly led me, weaving through the crowds of people.

"Where are we going," I asked.

"You'll see," he said mysteriously, "I was supposed to wait until the summer to show you, but, Gods, I would have died before then."

Once we were out of the shopping area and intro the housing communities, we slowed our pace.

"Please tell me, Remus! I don't think that I can hold out much longer!"

"You won't have to. Look."

He pointed to the house we were standing in front of – the white, Victorian house that I had fallen in love with in my third year. Remus began pulling me up the driveway.

"Wait…Remus, what are you doing? We can't waltz right up there!"

"Why not," he asked.

"People own this house!"

"Yes, they do."

"They think we are crazy teenagers," I hissed.

"Do you think that you are a crazy teenager?"

"No."

"Then you have nothing to worry about," Remus assured me.

We climbed up to the porch and I saw Remus pull a key out of his pocket. He inserted it into the keyhole, turned and pushed the unlocked door open.

"Welcome to the home of the Lupins," Remus announced as we walked in.

I gasped as I looked around and took the cloak off of myself.

"What do you think," he asked.

After a moment, I replied, "I can't think. This is all so amazing. Is it really ours?"

"It is all ours."

"But how?"

"That isn't important – all that is important is that I am giving you everything I promised to give you and how many memories we will share in this house."

I grinned at him and put my arms around his neck. With one kiss, I pulled back and asked, "Would you like to make the first memory right now?"

"We don't have a bed," he told me.

"And we HAVE to have a bed?"

He laughed, "How stupid of me…"

He picked me up and carried me upstairs into the master bedroom. We ended up quickly and hastily transforming our clothes into a bed and sheets before Remus looked down upon me and allowed me to wrap my aching cunt around his throbbing dick in an act of love and lust.

When I awoke from our adventure, it was dark outside. I grew panicked and shook Remus awake.

"Remus…Remus," I said, "Its dark outside! We have to get back to Hogwarts!"

"What?"

He awoke with a start and hopped out of the bed in all of his naked glory.

"Come on," he urged, "we don't have time to transfigure our clothes back!"

"But ---"

"Its nearly ten o'clock, Ani!"

I whimpered as I followed Remus down o the front door. The Invisibility Cloak and Marauder's Map were right where we had dropped them in front of the door. Remus covered us up and we began making out journey to the Shrieking Shack. We walked closer to the center of town and could hear screaming and fighting going on. I looked to Remus.

"What do you think it is, Moony?"

My question was answered as a jet of green light appeared in the sky above Hogsmeade and formed to create a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth.

"The Dark Mark," Remus whispered, "You-Know-Who is over there, and you won't be involved."

My stomach churned inside my body with every movement as I made my way back up to the school with Remus. We made it to the common room with no mishaps and he and I said our goodnights.

I was not surprised to find that when I entered the room, Lily was nowhere to be found.

"Your intentions are good," I asked as though Lily were standing in front of me as I drifted off to sleep, "If you are out there tonight, you mustn't know what good intentions are."
