2. First impression

Remus Lupin woke up inside his small cupboard and tried to stretch as much as he could in the tiny space. He was very tired and felt cold but besides that he was very cheery that morning. Master Sirius had hated his cooking the night before but this time he wanted to cook his gourmet recipes to impress him. Even if his new owner was sarcastic, rude and strict he was much more bearable than the Pettigrews; chills ran through his spine every time he remembered them. This time he was determined to please his master and make him proud.

Remus dressed in several layers of warm long sweaters and turned on the calefaction. These kinds of mansions were too cold and somber; he wanted it to feel cozier. He went to the kitchen and followed the recipes that were stuck on the refrigerator because Master Black was extremely careful with his meals; he mentioned something about wanting to be in shape for some photographs.

Just when he was serving the food his master came to the dining room.

'Who do you think you are, turning the heater on without my approval? Want to feel like you're on the beach or something? Sure, you're not the one paying the electric bills.' Sirius added sarcastically.

'Master Black, good morning. I thought you could get a cold if you came here from bed to have your breakfast, this room is as cold as a freezer. Sudden temperature changes are not healthy, I read it in one of the magazines that were in the cupboard,' cheerfully commented the servant. Sirius was somewhat surprised by his relaxed attitude; so much less submissive than the day before.

'Think? Read? You can read?'

'Of course. I could read you bedtime stories if you like. Well, at your age grownup books would be more appropriate. Maybe I can read aloud economy books or erotic novels, but I think it would be quite uncomfortable for both of us.'

'Stop, stop, shhhhhh. I think it would be easier if you were a house elf, they don't talk so much and I wouldn't even need to see you. Don't do anything I haven't asked you to, just do as I say, when I say it, follow the program I wrote you. Clean and cook just like I specified. And stop talking to me in such an overfriendly way; you take too many liberties…emm…R-ram…what's your name?'

'Remus Lupin, sir.'

'Remus Lupin, congratulations! Your endless chatter made me lose my appetite.'

'I am sorry sir, is there anything I can—'

Black had left the room, slamming the door shut, leaving the set table and a confused servant.

He really regretted doing so.

Sirius was starving by noon and he couldn't have a break because he was drowning in urgent paperwork.

Since a young age Sirius became responsible for the family business and had to manage the pureblood relics, properties and titles. After a series of betrayals from his colleagues he had learnt to take care of everything on his own. He wished he had a loyal secretary at this time.

Suddenly an owl came in through the window and he was about to drive it off until he recognized that it was his own, sent from home with a package. Pretty unusual if he lived alone, well with a servant too. When he opened the package, it turned out to be a delicious, homemade, warm meal. Last night he had told the servant that his food was rubbish but the truth was that it was exquisite.

Sirius gladly devoured the food and noticed a second envelope attached to the owl. He was stunned, it contained important contracts he was required to sign and return that evening. He had forgotten them at home.

But how had Remus known Sirius was going to need those papers? And the food, like he was reading his mind. The envelope also had an explanatory note, yes, apparently the servant also knew how to write.

'Master Black, you left some papers on your bed and I got the impression that you fell asleep while reading them last night, maybe they are important for today. They are in the yellow envelope and I also packed your lunch in case you don't have time to go to a restaurant. Sorry for the inconvenience- R.L.'

Honestly, he wasn't expecting that a werewolf could be that smart. He behaved so human-like that it was fascinating. Indeed, having a servant was more helpful than he thought; that Remus Lupin was an intelligent little creature.
