The next day was reserved for Remus and Adeline. No plans. No traditions. Just them relaxing and enjoying the break.
"We should go on a walk." Adeline said after they finished watching a movie.
"A walk sounds good." Remus agreed sitting up on the couch.
"Should we change?" Adeline asked. Adeline was wearing an old sweater she knitted a few years ago with a pair of Christmas pajama pants. Remus had on his new sweater and a pair of pajama pants as well.
"Nah. People can mind their own business."
"We'll obliviate them if they don't." Adeline said standing up and pulling Remus up next to her.
"As if you could obliviate someone." Remus teased as they both went over to put on their shoes.
"I can obliviate thank you very much. I'm not that bad."
"Rightttttt." Remus opened the door for Adeline, letting her go first before following her.
"I'm not gonna bother defending myself," Adeline took in her surroundings, "Fresh air." Adeline sighed. "I haven't been walking around the castle much and I've missed it."
"Why not?"
"After my little run in with Regulus and co I haven't been feeling up to it. It's not worth the anxiety."
"Well if you ever want to go on a walk again I can accompany you. Be your protection."
"A body guard? Sounds bougie."
"I was thinking more knight in shining armor."
"I prefer being a superstar with a bodyguard than a damsel in distress with a knight."
"And I prefer being a hero than a paid employee."
"Who said you'd be getting paid?"
"All that new Sleakeazy's money told me so."
"All that Sleakeazy's money is being saved up to get myself a flat after graduation."
"Well that's just boring."
"I don't want to live with James' parents my whole life. I love them and am beginning to consider them family, but at the end of the day they aren't my parents. It would be weird to keep living there."
"They'd love you staying there though."
"That they would. But I'm still working with Monty so it's not like I'd disappear."
"Fair fair. Guess I'm just projecting about wanting to be with my mum."
"Damn way to make me feel guilty Lupin."
Remus laughed, "The dead mum card hasn't expired yet. She isn't even in the ground yet."
"I'm honestly shocked you're doing okay right now. Actually, are you doing okay? This could all be a cover?"
"I mean, I'm not doing great by any means. But I guess I've been mourning her for a while. Even though she wasn't gone yet. I feel prepared for this."
"That makes sense. It's best not to wallow in your sadness. She'd be happy to see you moving on."
"She would be. I wish you got to meet her properly."
