All I Want (Remus Lupin/reader)

chapter seven

The door was open. You were sure that Remus locked it before you Disapperated. He had let the protections down but he was sure no one would come.

"Stay here and let me look inside," Remus said as he began to walk forward.

"I'm coming too. I'm not letting you get hurt." You followed behind him and were soon at the door. You both peered in. Everything seemed to be in the same state you left it. Suddenly you heard voices in the bedroom, "It's empty but someone's been 'ere."

"We'll come back later. Might find us a muggle-born or one of Potter's friends."

"Oh that'll be it. Get us in good with the Dark Lord."

Remus ushered you out of the doorway to the house and pulled you off to the side of the cottage. "Death Eaters and Ministry goons I assume," he whispered. You nodded, trying to stay as quiet as possible. After a few moments of silence you heard the same voices outside, "Let's go." There were two sharp CRACKs.

You looked around the corner and saw that the coast was clear. "They're gone now," you sent back at Remus. Deciding that it was safe, he came around the corner as well, visibly distressed. "We'll have to leave. I'll send word to Arthur and find somewhere for us to go."

"Okay, I'll gather my things."

After going inside and collecting your belongings into your suitcase you went to the living room. Remus looked up when you entered, "I've just sent word to the Burrow. I think we will have to do some camping for a while. I brought a tent and some other supplies just for this situation. I must warn you, it is even smaller than this cottage." He chuckled and shrugged as if saying, "It's the best we have."

"I'm completely okay with that. I've never been camping actually."

"We'll be doing quite a lot of it. You might get sick of it," Lupin laughed.

"Well at least I'll be in good company."

"I am flattered."

You smiled and twiddled with the handle on your trunk while Remus put the last of the food in his suitcase. He went outside and you followed behind. Once again he held out his hand for you both to Disapparate.

You had Apparated to a forest. You could faintly hear the sound of running water, so that wouldn't be a problem. You and Lupin both worked quickly to put up some protective charms and began to set up the tent. Just like the one you stayed in at the Quidditch World Cup, this tent was bigger on the inside than it appeared on the outside. But as Lupin said, it was smaller. It was one central room and then a bathroom off of it. There was a bed, a table, a few chairs, and a tiny kitchen.

You both unpacked, which didn't take long. Night had fallen quickly and it was now time to negotiate the sleeping situation. Lupin had one sleeping bag and there was one bed. He insisted you take the bed again but you disagreed. You had the bed at the cottage so he should take it here. After realizing you wouldn't change your mind, Lupin agreed, giving you the sleeping bag and laying in the bed.

Strangely enough, you felt very at ease in the tent. It was possibly because Lupin laid asleep just a few feet from you.

Waking up the next morning, you could smell frying eggs. You couldn't help but think of how nice Remus was. He let you come with him, he kept you safe, he comforted you, and cooked all the time. He doesn't have to do any of that but he does. You wanted to help him and repay the kindness he's shown you.

You got up and went to the opposite side of the room which was the kitchen. "Can I help?" He turned towards you. "You don't have to. But if you really would like to then you could get two plates from that cabinet," he said, pointing towards the one on his left. You grabbed the plates and sat then next to the stove, which Remus was occupying. You leaned against the counter and watched him. He must have noticed you watching because a small smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

After breakfast you went outside to check out where the water was. To your amazement there was a waterfall going into a lake less than a mile away from the tent. It was breathtaking, moss covered the ground and the water nearly sparkled. You reached down to feel the water and noticed it felt quite nice. It was cool but not cold. You sat on the edge of a rock and took off your shoes. Placing your feet in the water and swishing them around, you watched a few fish swim past.

An hour had passed before you decided to go back to the tent. When you entered you weren't surprised to see Remus sitting in a chair, reading. "There's a waterfall a little bit away from here. It's beautiful. It runs right into a lake and the water feels nice," you recalled as you sat in the chair opposite Lupin's. "I imagine it would. I'll have to take a look later."

You had brought a few books from your house and decided to read those. Both lost in books, you and Remus sat there for quite some time before you decided to make lunch. You told Remus that you were going to make lunch for a change.

Later that night you were startled by a Patronus showing up in the middle of the tent. It was Mr. Weasley's Patronus, a weasel. It said that the reason Death Eaters were searching houses was because Harry, Hermione, and Ron were at the Ministry but had escaped. Death Eaters were crawling all over Grimmauld Place, which was where they had Apparated during their escape. You and Remus both felt troubled over this news. Would they be on the run just as you two were?

While you were both getting ready to sleep Remus peered over his bed, "Do you know about their plans Y/N?" This question caught you by surprise. No one was actually supposed to know that you knew of their plans. You were backup and if someone found out they might do something. You trusted Remus so you were honest and told him that Harry told you what he needed to do.

"But why did he tell you? If someone were to find out..."

"I'm going to replace one of them if they cannot carry on with the mission actually."

"What? But that's... That puts you in a tremendous amount of danger. You-Know-Who could find out and torture this information out of you. And if you go in for Harry, Hermione, or Ron you could die too," he rushed out.

"Remus. I knew what I was getting into. I wanted to help them and this is how Dumbledore thought I could. I didn't care that I was putting myself in harm's way and I especially don't mind it now. My parents believed that we could stop him and we have a chance. I will do anything to put an end to him. And if I did die at least it was a noble death. It's not like I have any family that will mourn me."

"Y/N, I respect and understand your ambition, but there are people that care about you and would be hurt if you died. I would be hurt if you died. You are very special to me."
