I followed Professor Dumbledore to his office and I sat down with him, Professor Lupin, and Minister Fudge. The Minister looked from Lupin to myself.
I understand that a lycan can't choose their mate, but i have never heard of a pairing with such a massive age margin. My answer is to employ you two by the ministry for the Care of Magical Regulations Department."
"Why?"
"Remus...You were always worried that your curse would be passed on." Dumbledore said as he looked up.
"Yes. Full Moon. If she does come down pregnant, they will be Lycans." Professor Lupin said with what looked like genuine fear in his eyes.
"Precisely. We haven't seen lycan pups born in over a century. The publicity will be spectacular. You will be famous!"
"No I can't possibly-"
"We will do it." I stated blatantly.
"What?" He looked at me like I grew two heads.
"You've always said that you have a hard time finding work cause of your condition. Well look here's one. I've always wanted to make a stand for creature rights. I could make a lovely stand if I was the mother to said creatures. I don't see a downside."
"The publicity is bad."
"Harry is fine."
"Don't you bring Harry into this!"
"My best friend and your Godson. It's rubbish to think he won't be in this."
"Okay fine we will do it, but if I am making a sacrifice this huge for you I guarantee I will ask one in return."
"Name it."
"After we are alone I will." I gave him a curt nod and we turned back to the Minister. "Alright Fudge I agree. What now?"
"Now we will all converge with Albus for a plan to get us through this." Minister Fudge said nervously.
"The usual bit huh?" Remus scoffed.
"Not to worry. I have a plam of action. The Wizengamot meets in the morning. I can slide in a hearing for Hermione. As the Lycans mate she can be emancipated so that she may live her life with her mate, but Miss Granger, if you dont graduate on time the missitry retains your salary from Graduation Day to the completion of your studies."
"Deal." I nodded seeing as how the term he set forth was reasonable. "What are we gonna do for tonight?"
"Actually there is about 45 minutes of lunch left. I would like to get us fed then pop over to my house through the floo. Sound doable?" Remus asked me.
I nodded then turned to the platters that just appeared in front of us. I wasn't hungry, so I picked at a bowl of fruit. Lupin seemed to be affected by the external stress as he only ate a salad.
"Your a wolf you need your red meats." I grumbled.
"Your a growing young lady, you need a well rounded meal." He shot back with no malice. I put my hand on his leg and rubbed it. He smiled as he stabbed at his plate.
"What are we going to do about my Mum and Dad?" I asked scared that they would hate me.
"I had assumed that you would still be pretending to be your parents child, seeing as WIzard legalities don't affect muggle ones" Dumbledore with a twinkle in this eyes.
