It isn't long for Lucius to demand a meeting with Ramona. Ramona isn't looking forward to this meeting because it will be a lecture about leaving the fight with the Vampires. Ramona enters the meeting room down in Knockturn alley, Ramona is early for the meeting.
When it's a minute before the allocated time Lucius is suppose to meet Ramona he walks through the door and locks and shut the door behind him. Lucius takes a seat and holds onto his wand in quite a combative posture. Sneering Lucius then roams his eyes over Ramona in distaste.
"Miss Lupin, I must admit to myself to be quite disappointed ..."
The lecture Ramona receives from Lucius goes for a long time, the lecture goes on for so long that Ramona can't even manage to really take in his words. Ramona is going to think on this lecture later when she can be more objective.
Lucius sighs, "Look, I know you're no longer listening. If Miss Greyback comes back to me again this contract is over and you will be shut off from the community ... can I ask something personal? Is Severus on speaking terms with you, he's no longer ... he's different towards me."
Ramona raises her eyebrow in surprise for Ramona hears concern, it seems Lucius cares for Severus, "No, I am not on speaking terms with Severus, never have been. I was too immature at Hogwarts to be friends with anyone outside my house."
Lucius's eyes narrows and looks to the floor in what seems like pain, "Ah, yes well it's best I get going."
An idea hits Ramona, "You know, that question was quite personal. Getting information from me shouldn't be so easy. You owe me."
Lucius sneers which makes Ramona smirk.
"What do you want?" asks Lucius annoyed.
"To borrow books from your library, about Werewolves. I can't find objective books on the subject. The books I find involve killing me or healing bites from me."
Lucius looks relived, "I will look. Borrowing only! They can not be magically copied. If any get ruined I will remove the cost from your wages."
Ramona smirks, liking getting her way even if Lucius happened to get the last word in.
Ramona smiles, last night Moony spent the full moon with all her pack including her father. Ramona walks into the lounge room to see James and Lily snuggling on the couch and Peter reading a book on the floor. Sirius is sitting on the floor on top of a cushion talking rapidly with James.
Lyall hands Ramona a hot chocolate, after a quick kiss on Ramona's forehead Lyall retreats to his study.
James is surprised on Lyall's kind gesture.
"So it seems you and your father get along better these days."
Ramona nods in agreement and takes a sip of hot chocolate with a small smile on her lips. All the problems in Ramona's life seem to disappear in that little sip of bliss. James gives a meaningful look to Sirius, asking a silent question. Sirius shakes his head in response.
Peter who is paying close attention to the conversation rolls his eyes at James and Sirius lack of subtly.
"So, what do you do for work now that you've finished Hogwarts. I haven't heard you speak about it?" asks Lily.
Peter widens his eyes in surprise at Lily's lack of manners, Peter though then frowns and goes back to his book to ignore Lily.
"I don't have work. Werewolves can't work," counters Ramona annoyed. Ramona may help the Werewolf community but it isn't a career.
officially. Ramona can't get a masters or develop a career.
"Nor can they inherit wealth from their family," states Peter annoyed, still looking at his book.
Ramona rubs her arm in stress. The new law from Umbridge, mandatory medical checks when you inherit from your family. Ramona now can't open a Gringotts account nor inherit. Any wealth Ramona gains will have to be kept on her or else Ramona can bury her coins like a pirate, like a true marauder. Ramona smiles at the thought.
"OK Rem, I've know you a long time but I can't see how you're seeing a funny side to that." asks James confused.
"I'll just have to bury my coins like a marauder," says Ramona.
Peter laughs at that, Peter loves Ramona's dark humour. Laughing and joking around with her pack is something that hasn't happened since Hogwarts. Later that night James has Ramona alone to talk.
"Rem, I have some Galleons for you."
James passes a bag of coins, "Get some new Robes OK. It's extra Galleons I won't use and you don't have to wear casts off from your dad."
Ramona is about to say no but at Jame's look she realises it's best to accept. Ramona thanks James and brings him into a hug.
"Before you leave I also wanted to ask if you'll be a bridesmaid ... I would love you to be Maid Of Honour but Lily chose Mary. I guess it's best you're not the Maid Of Honour with Siri being best man."
The smile that was on Ramona's face now becomes forced.
