A/N in case you haven't figured it out yet I'm ignoring a part of Order of
the Phoenix. I won't tell you what if you haven't read it but um, if you
have finished it it's quite obvious what I'm ignoring. Let's just say it
was the other person who fell.

Chapter 7*~~
Dinner With A Werewolf*~~
Paige happily bounced into the Great Hall. Her eyes scanned the head table for a familiar werewolf. She jumped as that same werewolf tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around.
"Remus!" she said cheerfully. "Come on, buddy!" She directed him into a broom closet.
"If someone saw this it would look really suspicious," Remus said. Paige smiled.
"I thought it better to orb where no one would see," she explained. Then she touched her hand on his chest and they vanished in a swirl of blue. When Remus saw where they were his face was decorated with a grin.
"Nice room," he said. It was a small room with a bunch of little boy toys. She rolled her eyes and clucked.
"Very funny. It's Wyatt's room. You don't get to see mine until later," she said.
"Mmm, and what's later?" he asked. Paige stared at him and was about to answer when a girl's voice called her.
"PAIGE!"
"Coming Phoebe!" Paige replied.
"Phoebe your sister? The one you threatened Snape with?" Remus asked as they started downstairs.
"The one who taught me the moves I used on him," Paige said. They were in the manor's dining room.
"I like her already," Remus said.
"Wouldn't be talking about me would ya?" asked Phoebe, appearing behind them.
"How'd you guess?" asked Paige grinning. "Remus this is Phoebe, Phoebe this is Remus."
"Nice to meet you," Phoebe said, shaking his hand with a smile.
"Charmed," Remus said, also smiling. There was a noise only Remus's werewolf ears picked up and he turned to the kitchen door.
Phoebe's eyes widened at Paige. 'He's cute!' she mouthed. Paige grinned. 'He's mine!' she mouthed in return. Phoebe smiled.
"So, got any brothers Remus?" Phoebe asked. To Remus's surprise Paige hit her arm with a smile. Phoebe grinned innocently. "What can I say?"
"Something else," Paige said.
"No, I don't have any brothers. Or sisters. My father is also dead and my mother is insane. She's at a hospital right now," Remus said easily.
"Sorry," Phoebe said quickly.
"From what I've heard it you haven't had it easy either. You mother, gran, and sister. Has to be tough," Remus said.
"Yeah, we get on with it," said another female voice.
"You must be Piper, Wyatt's mother," Remus said with a charming smile.
"Yeah, that's me," Piper said, shaking his hand.
"Remus," said Leo from her side. Remus's jaw dropped.
"Leo Wyatt?" he asked
"Yup," he said smiling. They shook hands.
"How do you know each other?" asked Paige sitting down. The others followed the suit.
"He and his friends pulled a prank on me when I visited Albus a number of years ago," Leo said. Remus grinned.
"We thought you knew what a dungbomb looked like," Remus said innocently. "Besides, it was completely James's idea." Wyatt bounded into the room.
"Sit," said Piper, pointing to a chair as Wyatt opened his mouth. He closed it and sat down next to Remus and Piper.
"So, speaking of your friends, how are they?" asked Leo. Remus's face turned dark. Leo regretted his question. Albus hadn't told him any news of their world. Not since Remus's 7th year.
"James and Lily got married and their son is at school. But they were murdered a good number of years back," Remus said. "Peter betrayed us and sold them to the Dark Lord and Sirius took the heat for it and is now in hiding since he escaped Azkaban."
Silence held in the room. Remus glanced up. "It's not that big of a deal," he said shrugging. "It's been fifteen years."
"So, what are your parents like?" asked Piper, changing the topic. Phoebe and Paige groaned. Leo looked uncomfortable. Remus smiled slightly. "What?"
"My father was quite distressed since my mother's break down. He passed away in my seventh year. My mother however went insane when she found there was no cure to my bite," Remus said.
"Oops," Piper muttered. Remus smiled.
"I am not bothered by this talk. I can truly say so. It does not trouble me nor does in hurt me. Not anymore," Remus said. "However, I am curious as to- PADFOOT!"
Their shaggy black dog had wandered lazily into the room. He barked happily and knocked Remus off his chair. "Padfoot, bad boy," scolded Paige.
"You bloody prat! What if a wizard sees you? Your bloody arse will be landed back in Azkaban or worse, you'll be bloody soulless. Harry would bloody kill you! He'd kill me god dammit. What the bloody hell is wrong with you?" snapped Remus. The others stared transfixed.
The dog barked in an agitated way. "Oh, sorry," Remus said to the people watching him. "Now, you, Sirius, better get your shaggy coat back to my house, NOW!"
Suddenly the black dog transformed into a human. Phoebe grabbed the steak knife by her plate. Piper told Wyatt to orb to the Club. Paige was on her feet, eyes narrowed. "What are you?" asked Paige.
"What am I? A wizard," Sirius said. "A famous one!"
"Yeah, a famous convict! What are you up to you great bloody prat?" snapped Remus.
"How can you change from and animal to a human?" asked Phoebe, lowering the knife.
"I'm an Animagus. I have the power to go back and forth between and animal and a human. I did it for old Moony here. To keep him company as a werewolf. We all did. All being... oh never mind," Sirius said, waving his hand.
"You have yet to tell me why you are running around the world when you're an escaped convict sentenced to the dementor's kiss," Remus said agitatedly.
"I am not running around the world. No one knows my Animagus form, and besides that Albus told me to come here," Sirius said calmly.
"Pettigrew probably told them all what you are!" Remus snapped. "If you want Harry to kick your bloody ass then act like a complete prat, but leave me out of it!"
"Uh, sorry, but *who are you*?" asked Phoebe. The knife was back on her plate and she was smiling.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Sirius Black. More commonly known as Padfoot. It's a pleasure to meet you in human form, Phoebe," Sirius said. Phoebe smiled wider.
"Yeah, same here," she said as they shook hands.
"So where's Wyatt?" asked Sirius. "I thought he might like to know his dg is a human."
"You're more like a pig," Remus muttered.
"Hmm? What was that?" asked Sirius lightly. "Oh yes, must be bitterness."
"Yes, the bitterness of having to clean up after you! I thought I was through when we left Hogwarts and your stuff got off my god damned bed but NOOOOOOOOOO! You have to be a convict taking cover in my house," Remus said, while using his hands to emphasize the point.
Paige was smiling widely at how easy and laid back Remus was around Sirius. A sudden flash of her and Remus holding hands and talking about the formerly mentioned slob went through her head. She shook her head. "Right," she muttered to herself.
"Why don't you stay for dinner, Sirius?" asked Piper smiling and cocking her head in that way she does. (sorry, I just had ice cream for breakfast and I'm a little off......... and I'm gonna put on five pounds for eating it)
"I'd be charmed," he said with a sardonic smile. The three sisters rolled their eyes while Leo grinned.
"I'll go get Wyatt from the Club," Leo said and he orbed out. Remus shook his head.
"I don't think seeing blue orbs is a good sign," he said as he sat back down. Sirius sat across from him- which happened to be next to Phoebe. (no, they are not going to be madly in love they are just going to be unmadly in love, got it, gooooooooood!)
"Well then we're all crazy," Phoebe said.
"Do you really want to go there?" asked Paige as she stood up to get a plate from the kitchen for Sirius. "AH!" she screamed as Leo orbed in front of her, Wyatt at his side. Remus, Sirius, Phoebe, and Piper were all sniggering in the background. "Don't DO that!"
"Feisty that one," Sirius muttered to Remus. "No wonder you've got hearts in your eyes." Remus smacked his arm and glared.
"Shut-up," he hissed back.
"Now is that Professor like?" he asked quietly, looking mock stern.
"You little-" but Paige set a plate down in front of Sirius and Remus never finished his sentence. They ate their dinner and talked casually. Then Sirius stood up.
"My deepest apologizes but your dog must take leave to Hogwarts," Sirius said.
"I'll orb you there," Leo said, standing as well.
"Thanks," Sirius responded and he gripped Leo's arm. The two disappeared. Piper took Wyatt upstairs for bed and Phoebe headed out to the Club to wait for Piper.
"So, do I get the grand tour?" asked Remus, smiling.
"I don't know, Mr. Lupin..." Paige said, eyeing him. He smiled. She grinned in response and they stood up. "This way."
After a quick showing of all the rooms and a gesture as to where the attic was, all that was left was Paige's room. "Saving the best for last?" Remus asked lightly. He had refrained from wearing his usual clothes here but was dressed in jeans and black T-Shirt with black Hogwarts robes over them.
"You know it," she said. Paige led him to her room and opened the door. "Ta-da."
"Nice room," Remus complimented. For some unknown reason Paige felt herself blush and fill with pride. It was a masterpiece alright.
"I worked hard on it. Originally it was Prue's room. It took a lot, I think, for Piper and Phoebe to ask me to live into it," Paige said. She sat down on her bed. "Have a seat."
Remus hesitated. At school he would have instantly sat down on the bed with her but now it was different. He shook his head at what Sirius would say and sat next to her. They sat for a moment in silence. It wasn't an awkward one that teenagers with crushes on each other feel but an easy and relaxed one as Remus took in his surroundings.
"So, what's your verdict?" asked Paige.
"Hmm, well, the décor is a little too bland for my taste; White never went well with me. I believe black would do the trick," Remus said in a critic voice. He took out his wand and flicked it. The walls were turned black.
"You!" Paige started wresting him for his wand. They were rolling around on the floor for a little while. In the end, Paige kneeled on Remus's waist holding his wand, Remus's arms pinned to his side. The door opened and Paige turned to look.
"What are you doing?" asked Piper.
"Getting his wand. Do you see what he did to my room?" Paige said casually.
"Right," Piper said slowly. "Continue." She waved her hand and left the room.
"Now, where were we? Oh yes, you were about to surrender," Paige said, turning back to the werewolf.
"Who said that?" asked Remus, struggling slightly.
"I'll stay on top of you," Paige said matter of factly.
"Is there something bad about that?" Remus asked. "Come to think of it, I rather like this position." Paige grinned and rolled her eyes. Remus flipped them around so Paige lay on the bottom. "Tut, tut. What shall I do now?"
"How about I do this," Paige said. She wriggled her arm out and pulled their heads together, locking her lips on his. Remus sat shocked for a moment before he returned the kiss. After they pulled apart Remus observed her skeptically.
"That was supposed to be my move," Remus pouted. Paige laughed. He was taken by surprise as she flipped them back to their first position. Now Remus pulled her head down. He tapped his tongue on Paige's mouth. She opened it in response and felt love seep through her as their tongue's wrestled.
"Wow," Paige said, rolling off of him to the floor. They propped their heads on their elbows and turned to each other. "That was interesting."
"Maybe we need more observations," Remus suggested. Paige grinned and they began kissing again.
