Much her dismay she saw Remus had kept staring at her as he couldn't believe it him self. Then Sirus whispered something into his ear and it made him look Tonks then blush. The headmaster had called the meeting to a close and she waited until Mrs.Welsey's grand feast was over, then saw that Serena was trying walk toward her while warding the twins off. They met at in the hall and looked at each other, Tonks pointed toward a room "let's go into the drawing room."
As they sat on the couch, Tonks thrust her hand out "welcome to the order I guess that I am no longer the newbie anymore." Serena almost sighed in relief to see that Tonks wasn't upset with her only a little shocked. "Thank you for the welcome, are you angry with me?"
Tonks was surprised that Serena still knew her so well or it could be that her hair changed color again. She pulled her friend into a tight hug as she thought of what her friend had to go through.
"No, I am not just surprised that all when did the headmaster come to you?"
Serena pulled out the hug and leaned back on the couch, "he came to me right after I got the job for the daily prophet after coming straight out of Hogwarts." She turned to Tonks "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about that part when we were kids and congrats on becoming auror." Tonks just shagged her shoulders, "thanks and no big thing we didn't see other much after Hogwarts; huh Rena."
Serena eyes brighten at the old nickname "yes that right Nym."
Then Remus and Sirus appeared at the door, " so this is where the lovely lady went to". Sirus walked over to them and with a flourish kissed Serena hand. Tonks and Remus eyes met as he walked in the room, they both shook their head as Serena blushed.
"Always the charmer huh cousin, where is my kiss?" Sirus look at her then laughed as he ruffled her hair and kissed her on the forehead with a large smack.
As she pushed him away laughing "Serena and I went to school together so Sirus don't try to flirt."
Serena giggled as she saw the two cousins escalate to a tickle fight with Sirus attacking Tonks rib with vengeance because she sent a tickle charm at his feet. As she watched the other gentlemen moved over to sit beside her, "hello my name is Remus Lupin." He extended his hand; Serena shook his hand firmly "Serena Ruefeather." They watched as the cousin continued to horse play around on the room, now Tonks was sitting on Sirus's back with him in a head lock.
It was Remus who spoke first " it is a rare thing to see another person with my condition doing well." Serena look at Remus with a smile, " Yes, but the ones, who don't let their condition rule them need to stick together right." Remus nodded in agreement, "do they know about it?" Tonks and Sirus stopped in time to listen to their conversation.
Serena noticed the silence and blushed as she put her hands together on her lap. "No and they never will find out until things change for the better for people like us." Tonks saw the gleam in her eyes and was proud to be her friend. Sirus sit down in the chair across from the couch then leaned so that his elbows rested on his knees, while Tonks sat on the armrest on Remus side. " Enough of this serious atmosphere, I think we should have a toast to the new member." He pulled out his wand and summoned a bottle of firewiskey with four glasses.
Just as the bottle and glasses appear floating infront of them . Everyone grabbed a glass for themselves and Sirus grabbed the bottle . But before he could pour a glass for everyone , the parlor door opened to reveal a very annoyed Professor Snape.
The Professor Snape only walked in a few paces and sneered at Sirus then looked Remus .
" I was told by the headmaster to give you the wolfsbane potion you need for this month and to see if the new member needs one as well."
As he spoke , he pulled out a huge flask from his pocket and handed it to Remus . Which Remus accepted with a small smile, "thank you Severus", he placed the flask in one of his own pockets .
Snape said nothing and turned toward Serena but he never moved far from the door .
" what about you Miss Ruefeather or do you still refused to use the potion?"
Everyone looked Serena as she look at the glass in her hand , " as before Professor Snape I do not need potion ." Tonks, Remus and Sirus froze in shock and Snape sneered then turned toward the door.
" fine one more dark creature I don't have to worry about."
Sirus arose from his seat with dog like growl and marched toward Snape , " that is uncalled for Snivellus". Remus moved to grab Sirus and hold him back as Sirus tried to hit Snape .
Snape sneers even harder at them , tonks sits in silence at this whole situation. She felt a small nudge on her shoulder and turned to Serena .
To her surprise , she found her friends eyes had turned a different color . It was a rich amber color and she assumed that was her eye color when she turns into a wolf .
Serena started to speak to Tonks very loudly as she pulled out her wand. " Tonks ,do you remember when we were in school ,someone jinxed all of Professor Snape's clothes to turn yellow ." Tonks smiled at memory and saw all three men froze at Serena words . Remus and Sirus looked them with curious eyes . Snape look at Serena with rage in his eyes , Tonks turned yellow as she spoke " Yes, it took the headmaster months to try to break that jinx ."
Serena gently placed the glass on her lap and tapped the tip of the wand on her finger.
" You know that they never find the person who did it ." Snape moved closer as his eyes almost blared with rage , " and what do you know of it Miss Ruefeather ?"
