Werewolf Hatred!
By: Sirius **Padfoot
July 4, 2003
Remus slept all day and into the night. Marie was starting to worry about him. She walked up stairs and looked into his room to see him lying on the bed covered in the sheets sleeping peacefully. She walked in just to make sure he was all right. She walked over to the bed and watched him sleep for a few minutes then a knock at the front door made her leave the room shutting the door quietly.
"Yes?" Marie asked opening the door to where she could see the person knocking but they couldn't come in.
"Where is the Wolf?" the guy asked.
"I don't know what your talking about please leave." Marie said then started to close the door.
"We know the Werewolf is here and we are coming in." the guy said and shoved the door open knocking Marie down.
"What do you think you are doing. Get out of my house." Marie said cutting the guys off as they tried to get up stairs.
"What's going on Marie?" Remus asked stepping out of his room yawning.
"I told you now get out of the way." The guy said and pulled out a wand.
"Get out of my house right now. I never want to see you two idiots again." Marie said pulling out her own wand and shoving it in the guys face.
"Fine but we'll be back." The guy said and turned to leave.
"If I catch you around here again I'll send you to Azkaban for attacking an Auror. Do you understand me." Marie said angrily and Remus smiled at her. The two guys left shutting the door.
"I think I'll leave…" Remus said.
"Not because of those two idiots you're not. I want you to stay Remus." Marie said softly to him.
"All right if you are sure." Remus said and turned to go back up the stairs but then another knock came to the door.
"Stay there." Marie said and walked over to the door. She opened it slightly and looked out. "Oh Professor please come in. Remus it's Professor Dumbledore." Marie said and opened the door pleasantly.
"Thank you Marie. I'm sorry to make you remember that night Remus but it must be done." Dumbledore said in a sad tone as he walked into the house.
"Professor I'll be back please make your self at home. I have business at the Ministry to take care of. Remus I'll be back and you had better be in bed sleeping in the Professor isn't here." Marie said and smiled.
"Marie I'm not a child." Remus said.
"Well it seems you have to be treated as one to get you to sleep. You've slept all day and you still look like hell. Promise me Remus. Please." Marie said.
"Oh all right fine I'll go back to bed." Remus said defeated.
"Thanks Remus. Sorry Professor I'll have to talk to you later." Marie said turning and grabbing her cloak. Then she was gone with a single pop.
"Professor before we get started. Why did you tell me she was dead?" Remus asked.
"Cause I was told that she wouldn't make it. And I thought it best to just go ahead and tell you instead of making you sit by her side then see her die." Dumbledore said sitting down on a chair.
"But she didn't die. I lived all this time thinking she was dead then I wake up in her house one morning." Remus said.
"I'm sorry Remus just another mistake of an old man." Dumbledore said sadly.
"Do you want some tea Headmaster?" Remus asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"No thank you Remus." Dumbledore said. Remus came out of the kitchen a few minutes later with a cup of tea in his hands. "Well I see Marie made sure you were comfortable here." Dumbledore said looking around.
"Yeah she went to a lot of trouble to make a house that would be good for me if she found me." Remus said and smiled a little then remembered why Dumbledore was there and his smile turned into a frown.
"Shall we get down to business then?" Dumbledore asked and Remus nodded his head.
"Marie what are you doing here this late? I haven't seen you in a couple of days." An Auror said.
"I'm fine James. I've been doing some work at home. I have to write a report about two idiots barging in on my house so I'll talk to you later OK Kings." Marie said to the Auror. He had sandy brown hair and brown eyes.
"All right I'll see you later. I got to get home to Mrs. Kings anyway. I'd say my wife is pretty mad I told her I'd be home early and I'm late as usual." James Kings said and smiled at him.
"Blame it on me. I wouldn't let you leave until you were done." Marie said and smiled as he left.
"You're the best Marie. Later!" James said and ran to the elevator then disappeared.
'Poor guy can't keep his wife happy. She's always angry over something.' Marie thought then smiled and turned back to the offices. She is the only one left in the building. 'Well at least I don't have to worry about being bothered.' She thought and walked into her office, which had pictures off all the criminals that needed to be captured including several pictures of Sirius. She looked away from the wall then moved to sit down at her desk.
She wrote her report and placed it in her desk drawer and locked it up so she could turn it in the next day she was in the building.
"Tomorrow is a full moon. Poor Remus." Marie said as she looked at the calendar on her desk. Then she got up and walked over to the wall.
She looked at the wall for a few moments then took the pictures of Sirius down and placed them in her pocket. She then walked out of her office and shut the door and locked it. She walked back over to the elevator and got on taking the pictures of Sirius out of her pocket. She looked at them for a while changing from picture to picture as she walked into the main hall.
"What are you looking at Miss. Willis?" a male voice asked. she pocketed the pictures quickly and looked up at the man.
"Nothing Minister I thought you had already gone home sir." Marie said cheerfully.
"Oh I had. I forgot something in my office. Present for my wife. She'd kill me if I forgot our Anniversary again." The Minister said.
"Well have a nice night sir." Marie said and walked on past him.
"Go strait home Marie. Being an Auror is very dangerous in this time of War." He said and smiled at her.
"Oh I intend to go home sir. I have an old friend staying at the house." Marie said then looked back to see him smiling.
"Good friends are hard to find now a days. Have a nice night Marie." He said.
"Yes sir and you too." Marie said then disappeared with a pop.
"Oh hello Marie we were just talking about you." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Oh you can't leave two guys alone with out getting talked about." Marie said sarcastically then smiled at them.
"We were talking about the second year of Hogwarts when you guys found out about me." Remus said.
"Oh professor did he tell you about me having to rock him to get him to stop crying when we finally caught up to him?" Marie asked.
"No I believe he left that part out." Dumbledore said smiling at the two.
"You can remember more embarrassing moments for me then I do." Remus said.
"Oh come on. What about the time…" Marie started but was cut off.
"I think we've done enough reminiscing tonight don't you Headmaster." Remus said cutting Marie off.
"Yes I do believe you are right Remus it's late I must be returning to Hogwarts." Dumbledore said standing up then winked at Remus, then disappeared with a pop.
"What I was just going to mention when James pored his Drink on Lucas Malfoy and Sirius turned Snape's hair scarlet just before the Quidditch match." Marie said innocently.
"Yeah right. You were trying to embarrass me." Remus said.
"I would never." Marie said and smiled, then yawned and stretched.
"I think it's your bed time." Remus said and smiled as he stood up and took his cup to the kitchen sink. Then he turned and walked back over to the kitchen door. "Well up to bed you go." Remus said and smiled when she crossed her arms.
"You promised you'd go to bed after Dumbledore left." Marie said but smiled.
"Fine we'll go up together." Remus said and shut the light off in the kitchen.
"Good boy." Marie said and laughed at he look on Remus' face. "No pun intended Remus." she said then smiled at him as they started up the stairs.
"Hey Marie how come you rely on Muggle electricity?" Remus asked.
"Oh it last longer and I have a lot of Muggle's in here. I have a lot of Muggle friends can't really rely on magic with Muggle's around." Marie said.
"Well I guess I'll see you in the morning Marie. Have sweet dreams." Remus said and opened his door.
"You too Remus. good night." Marie said then walked into her room and shut the door.
'Wonder what he's doing? He's making an awful lot of noise.' Marie thought the next morning as she got up and wrapped a bathrobe over her night cloths then walked out of her room. She walked over to Remus' door and knocked on it a little. "Remus are you all right?" Marie asked but got no answer so she decided to go in. she opened the door to see Remus twisting and turning like he was having a nightmare. "Remus, Remus wake up. Come on wake up. It's just a dream Remus, Remus." she said shaking him lightly. He woke up and looked at her and shoved her away into a dresser.
"Oh Marie I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" Remus asked jumping out of bed and ran over to her.
"Ouch." She said and looked up at him and smiled. he laughed slightly and shook his head at her.
"I'm truly sorry Marie. I…I didn't realized it was you until I had…I'm so sorry." Remus said helping her up.
"I'm fine Remus. I just have to remember to stay out of arms reach when I try and wake you. So stop apologizing." Marie said and smiled up at him.
"I hate full moons. Drives me nutts. I do things before I realized what I've done." Remus said then looked at her strangely. "What did you come in here for anyway?" he asked.
"Oh you woke me up doing something so I came over to see if you were all right. You were tossing and turning like you were having a nightmare. What were you dreaming about anyway?" Marie asked.
"Nothing important." Remus said and turned back to his bed.
"It must mean something if it can make you toss and turn like that. But if you don't want to tell me that's fine, you don't have too. It's your dream none of my business." Marie said and smiled when Remus looked at her confused. "You going to put on some more cloths?" Marie asked and laughed at the red in his cheeks as he looked down and realized he was only in his boxers.
"I've got to go change too. Meet you in the kitchen." Marie said then turned and left his room
Remus was in the kitchen when Marie came down she stopped at the door to the kitchen. He was only wearing a pair of blue jeans and tennis shoes. Remus smiled when he caught her looking him up and down.
"Never thought I'd see you in Muggle cloths again. They fit you good too." Marie said and smiled when she noticed him watching her.
"So do the cloths you have on." Remus said and turned to her. She was wearing a sort of tight tank top and a pair of blue jeans.
"Thanks. I guess if you're going to live here for a while we need to get you some more Muggle cloths." Marie said and smiled
"You sure go to the extreme not to use Magic at home. Or let on that you are a witch." Remus said and smiled.
"You know me can't stand to do something half-ass. besides even though they said witch burning's fill good I have no intention on finding out." Marie said and smiled
"Are there any other witches or wizards around here?" Remus asked.
"No I don't think there are any others here." Marie said, then she thought for a second. "Course I could be wrong there has been a lot of new people move in recently. Plus those two idiots last night." Marie said and looked at Remus sort of worried.
"Don't worry I doubt if any one that moved in are death-eaters." Remus said and smiled at her.
"I hope you're right. I'm fine against a couple of them but one they get up to an entire group that's when it's going to hurt." Marie said.
"Don't worry even if they are all death-eaters I'm here with you." He said and smiled.
"Good." Marie said and smiled. Remus finished breakfast and they ate.
"Harry, HARRY Wake up!!" Ron yelled and Harry fell out of bed in the Gryffindor tower.
"What, what happened?" Harry asked, as Nevill, Seamus, and Dean all watched him white faced.
"Did you do that when Cedric died?" Nevill asked in horror.
"I don't know what…" Harry said but was cut off by Ron.
"You were screaming Sirius' name and then started screaming no." Ron said kneeling down beside Harry worried.
"I don't want to talk about it." Harry said after a long moment of silence.
"Understandable mate. All ways it's just a nightmare from now on. You can't watch it for real again." Dean said sadly and started back to his bed.
"What's going on in here? oh Mr. Potter are you all right?" Professor McGonagall asked coming into the room. Harry tried to stand up but his legs wouldn't let him right then and he fell back tot he floor.
"I'd say all the screaming from in here came from you dear didn't it." Professor McGonagall said sweetly very unlike her usual self. And all Harry did was nod in response. "Come on Harry let's go for a walk to clear your mind." McGonagall said and helped Harry up then walked out of the dorms down to the common room where people stared at him as he climbed out of the portrait hole with the Professor.
"I'm fine Professor really." Harry lied.
"Harry you won't be fine for a long time. It is understandable. But I do think you should talk to some one who fills like you do about every thing." McGonagall said.
"No one fills like me. No one can." Harry said.
"Oh really. Can you think of no one who cared for Sirius just as much as you did?" McGonagall said and frowned when he shook his head no. "Really Harry Potter." McGonagall said imphasizing his last name.
"Wait. Professor Lupin! I forgot about him. I've got to talk to him. Thanks Professor McGonagall." Harry said and started back to the Gryffindor Tower when McGonagall stopped him.
"Harry I want you to know you can come and talk to me about anything. I'll listen and talk back." McGonagall said and smiled down at Harry.
"Thanks Professor but I've been too selfish already with Professor Lupin." Harry said and smiled back at her and ran back to Gryffindor tower. He said the password as he ran up the last of the stairs. The portrait opened and he ran up to the dorm room and opened his trunk got out parchment, quill, ink well, and a book to write on. And he wrote to Lupin.
'Tonight's a full moon so he won't read it to night.' Harry thought then looked up to see Hedwig flying down to him. She landed on his shoulder and gave him an affectionate nit on his fingers as he petted her.
"Hedwig this goes to Professor Lupin. I want a reply when you come back. OK!" Harry said as he tied the letter to her leg. She gave a little hoot and he took that as she understood. She took off out of the window of the owlery. Harry watched her as she flew out of sight then he started down the stairs to breakfast.
During breakfast he wouldn't talk to any one not even Ron and Hermione. He was the first student to leave the Great Hall.
