39 September 25 1997
Remus Lupin breathed in the fragrance of death, blood and utter despair, shared a look with Sirius Black and received a nod in return, drew his wand and made his Patronus burst into view.
"Five death; bodies rounded up and ready to be taken care of, victims sent to St Mungos. Heading back with Sirius, full report in an hour."
"Well, I gotta say, Moony, this sucks!"
The werewolf snorted.
"War tend to do that Padfoot", he agreed, and then they both turned simultaneously and vanished.'

Jennie snarled as she made yet another sandwich. Blacky whimpered beside her on the floor, and she sat down and petted him, gave him small bits of smoked ham and kissed his fluffy head.
"It's okay pretty boy, its okay, I'm just annoyed. Everything is fine."
The dog snorted and licked her nose.
"Hi Jennie."
"Hi kid, are you going out?" she asked, already knowing the answer to her silly question.
Harry sat down beside her and petted his dog as well.
"Yeah, Hermione and Ron wanted to check something out."
"Alright, just please don't get killed."
"Hey, I've survived these two year, I think I can manage a little longer", joked the now of age wizard and kissed her cheek.
"Have some sandwiches, you three need to eat", mumbled Jennie as she ruffled her almost-son's hair.
"Oh thanks! Hey, these are cheese and ham and tomato! Thanks Jennie!"
Jennie chuckled.
"I know. Be careful kid."
"Will be. Bye! Blacky, guard, okay?"
The dog barked, Harry smiled and turned and vanished.
Jennie glared down at the bread, cheese, ham and tomatoes and found that she wanted to throw everything as far away as she could.
"This is fucking useless!"
"Are the sandwiches useless? Nah, they look super good to eat!"
She whirled around.
"Well, then eat!" she snapped and stormed out of the kitchen, leaving Sirius and Remus and Blacky alone.

"Okay… what just happened?"
Sirius took a sandwich, offered Remus one and glanced towards the stairs where Jennie had vanished.
"I think she snapped", commented his werewolf friend calmly.
"You think?" Sirius drawled, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"How used are you to this?" asked Remus wild mild interest.
"Too used. She's been snapping for the last five months. I don't know what to say or do Moony, 'cause I can't talk to her. I get that she feels useless since she isn't a witch, but hell she does so much for all of us without magic! She's here when someone needs to talk, when there's a minor injuring, when someone needs a good cry, she's here all the bloody time!"
"Perhaps that is the problem", suggested Remus and finished of his sandwich with a satisfied look.
"What?"
"Well, think about it Sirius, she's here all the time."
It took him a second to realize what his friend meant.
"Thanks Moony. Do you mind if I ditch you?"
"Not at all, I'll go home to Tonks, see you later, oh and I'll send Harry a Patronus, so donät you worry."
"Thanks mate."
Sirius left the kitchen and went upstairs in search for his frustrated girlfriend. He really thought that the term felt somewhat childish, but since they weren't engaged or married that was the title they had decided to stick with.
"Jennie?" he called as he past their bedroom where she obviously not was. "C'mon love, aren't we a bit too old for hide and seek?"
"Library!" he heard her call out, and shit she sounded annoyed. Sirius took a deep breath and entered she book shelved room.
He saw her sitting in one of the large red armchair, an unread book in her lap, her lips pursed and her eyes closed and her eyebrows in a deep frown. He walked closer, sat down at her feet, stole the book and placed his head in her lap and kissed her hand that rested beside his cheek.
"I was thinking… I really want to steal away and ravish you someplace else… you in?" he said and kissed her hand once more.
"Define ravish and someplace else."
"Ah… ravish as in devouring you in every possible way. Someplace else as in Paris, or perhaps Athens, far away from here."
He licked her fingertips and heard her sigh.
"That would be lovely Sirius… but we are needed here."
"No love. We are needed here in great shape, and right now, I don't think we are in that shape. So, what about the ravishing someplace else, yes or no darling?"
She actually giggled.
"Okay, but I don't get ravished 'til I can't think then I'm kicking your ass."
####
In the end, they travelled not only to Athens, but to Paris and Rome as well. Jennie did get ravished, and Sirius earned some nice looking scratch and bite marks as thanks. They also went on small cultural guiding's around the cities, and ate every type of local food they came across.
When they returned back to England, everyone commented that they looked ten times better, and when they began working again, it was with renewed hope and much more joy. Although they did vanish into various rooms from time to time for at least a month.
