They were sitting at the kitchen table eating pizza when it suddenly occurred to Sirius. He looked at the phone and at the delivered pizza, he looked out the window to the car, and thought of James talking about Remus' connections in the muggles' children services. "Remus? Why do you know so many muggles? You always knew a few but now you're up to your ears in them."
Shrugging Remus said, "Well, I mean. I used to hang out with muggles in the summer. Most wizards don't want their kids hanging out with werewolves. Most wizards' kids don't want to hang out with werewolves. You guys were just different. So once it got out that I was, y'know, full moonily challenged I gave up on making wizard friends. I've just gotten used to that. It wasn't really a problem 'cause I always had you guys." He smiled at Sirius as he grabbed another slice.
"What do you do? Work wise?" asked Sirius feeling disgusted with the wizarding community.
"I get by. I still do things for the Order. But um, yeah, I do lawn service, degnomeing gardens and things." He shrugged but this time the ease seemed more forced.
"That's sick. God, I hate all of these pureblooded snobs!"
"It's not them it's the Ministry, they've been saying a lot of stuff recently, published a pamphlet on recognizing dangerous half-breeds."
"You would have thought that by now they would have realized that saying that is no better than Voldemort!" said Sirius angry at his friend's degradation.
With another, much more worn, shrug Remus said, "Hey, at least they're not legalizing werewolf hunting. . . yet."
