The One With The Fight

That was the most horrendous summer ever. No only where they disturbed by the Ministry every week to make her mother go and work, Astraea was always fighting with her mother and Remus. Yes, Remus. Astraea was so mad, she started using his first name instead of his chosen nickname.

Let's do a recap of one of their fights, shall we?

'"You knew I had those abilities and you suppressed them?' Astraea yelled at her mother. "Were you trying to make me an obscurial?"

"Would you listen to yourself?" her mother started raising her voice. "I am your mother, I know what's best for you"

"You think you do, don't you?" Astraea yelled. "'if you don't take that potion love, you will get sick' what absolute rubbish!"

"Don't you dare talk to me like that", Aurora started yelling.

"Or what?" Astraea glared. "you will send more people to fake being friends with me?"

Aurora was at loss of words.

"That's right I know", tears were streaming down her face. "You suppressed my magic, made me believe something is wrong with me, that-that I am an abomination and all it took one day of forgetting to take the potion to realize that"

"What's going on here?" Remus asked coming in. 

"As if you don't know", she snarled at him.

"She found out about the potion", Aurora sighed.

"Look your mother was trying to protect you", Remus started saying.

"Why am I not surprised that you know?" Astraea glared.

"Let us explain", Remus replied.

"Explain what? Huh? How you made me drink a potion? How you made MY FRIENDS spy at me? How you made my whole life a lie?" Astraea was full on yelling.

"Calm down"

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN", she screamed and Remus took a step back in fright.

She knew her eyes were purple, but she looked down and saw her strawberry blonde hair was turning dark red at the roots. She closed her eyes and sighed.

'I screwed up', she heard her mother say.

"Big time", she sighed. "You screwed up big time"

"How- I didn't say that-", her mother stuttered.

"Oh yeah", she looked at her mother hard. "I read minds too apparently. But funny, I can't control it, it takes practice to do so and I lack it".

Her voice was so full of venom her mother's eyes were teary.

"Enough", Remus yelled. Remus never yells, but when he does, Astraea might piss herself.

"I was going to my room anyway", she muttered and left'

So, the days were hard; Astraea never leaves her room unless to go down and eat- which is usually when no one was there. Her mother and Remus tried talking to her, but every time, she would slam the door in their face. Until one day, her mother knocked on the door, and as soon as Astraea opened the door, her mother left.

Astraea looked down and saw something wrapped, with a card that says 'Happy Birthday, Love'

Astraea opened the box to find old photos of her and her father; one he was holding her on his shoulders and running around, one with Remus and her father throwing her around, one with her father raising her up with magic and her mother laughing so hard.

Astraea was in tears; her mother never showed her anything of her father. She left the room and went down to find her mother with Remus drinking coffee. She ran and hugged her mother crying.

"I'm sorry", Astraea sobbed.

"No I am the one who lied", her mother kissed her head.

Astraea pulled Remus into the hug.

After lots of tears and making up, Astraea decided to play a prank on Remus and her mother, so she morphed into Snape. She loved doing that. She changed her clothes into some black jeans and black dress up shirt. She went down and saw them reading, she stood behind them and in Snape's voice she said, "Lupin, Grey"

She never saw Remus or her mother jump so high before. Both wands in their hands, they turned around and pointed it at Astraea.

"How did you get here?" Remus asked, glaring.

"What do you want?" her mother's voice was laced with venom.

"I came here to express what a douch-bag I am, and that I will never be half as good as you", she said almost laughing. "Remus, I have always loved you".

The look on Remus' face- horrified and taken back, and her mother's face- surprise and disgust, was enough to make her burst into laughter.

"Are you on drugs?" Remus asked, Astraea was full laughing her sides were hurting.

"Your faces", she gasped laughing.

"What?" her mother asked.

She calmed down enough to morph back and the look on their faces was even funnier. She burst into laughter again.

"Astraea Aurora Black", her mother glared at her, but then she started laughing too.

"She is soooooooooo like her father", Remus commented laughing too.

"You were a prankster too", her mother replied and Remus shrugged.

"Oh Minnie told me I was like Father when I chanted snow balls to hit Quirrell's turban", Astraea smiled sheepishly.

Her mother shook her head.

"So, when can I go to the Weasley's", Astraea asked and her mother raised an eyebrow
