Remus <3

27 Charity

Remus laid under his bed covers with the marauders map. He found himself watching Ash's dot often these days. She was with Regulus. It was midnight and she was just sitting on his bed. Then she left the Slytherin dorms and common room. She made her way to a secret passageway and made her way to Higsmeade.

Remus followed. It felt like he should. What if she wasn't okay? They were still friends. Best friends.

Remus runs into the secret passage way. She had a large lead but he would catch up eventually. He sees her board a train, so he boards that same train.

"What are you doing here Moony?" Ash asks.

"I wanted to make sure you were alright."

"You don't have to, you aren't my boyfriend."

"What did you talk to regulus about?" Remus asks.

"Reggie usually comes with me on these trips."

"What trips?"

"You'll see soon enough."

They continue walking. After a while Ash apparatus them to a town.

The people greet Ash happily. A few children rush over to her. They gather around her but not enough to where she can't move. She takes out a vial of wolfsbane.

"345 multiplied by 12, divided by 3?"

After a while a kid raises their hand and answers. They get the first potion.

"Who created the philosophers stone?"

Another child answers. They get the second potion.

"Margaret won the vote for the potion this time. So she and anyone of her choosing gets a potion."

Margaret steps forward with a smile. She was there age. Maybe a year older than Ash. She's holding another girls hand, probably a best friend. They take the third and forth potion.

"I'll draw the adults pick from the regular drawing board."

Ash walks to the middle of the square and picks two names. The fifth and sixth potions were gone.

"You give out wolfsbane?"

"Yes Remus. It would be a waste to throw it away and I have to create a new batch every month anyways."

"So they're?"

"Werewolves. They were found out and shunned, now they live here in the protection of the ministry. They are all werewolves."

"I didn't know you did this..."

"Walk around and talk to people. Have fun, it's about time you see this place."

Remus nods and goes off on his own. A small group of kids grabs his arm and drags him away.

"Who was he?" a tall brunette boy, a year older than Ash asks.

He wraps an arm around Ash and hugs her from behind, nestling his head into her neck.

"Don't tell me you're jealous Finn," Ash turns to face him.

"Should I be?" he hums.

"Are you?"

"How could I not be? I only see you once a month. You could have other... friends."

"How were you last full moon?"

"I woke up naked in the majors house."

"So normal?" Ash laughed.

"I miss the wolfsbane. But there's over 2000 people I. This village who deserve it more than me. You look ravishing today."

"Thanks Finn," Ash rolls her eyes.
