the case of dawna flynn - r.j lupin

twenty-seven

A/N:
It's a little late but I did only just finish writing this chapter so there's that,
thanks a bunch for 1.8k reads, honestly a bit surreal haha

So Sirius did come next time and everytime after that.
The first time Sirius came by Marie had the living daylights scared out of her but Dawna explained the situation.

They'd sit in the flat upstairs and talk and cry and want to leave. Dawna wanted to leave so bad and she couldn't. She'd get Remus and Sirius in so much trouble.

"Grimmauld Place is hidden from witches and wizards alike." Sirius explained, "You've both seen it."

They had.

"We could all go there and hide. They'll knows shes run with Remus but they don't know where I am. They won't expect Grimmauld Place."

It waz a good plan, Dawna knew that.
"But we can't hide forever."

They were all quiet and in thought. It was tricky because now that she was seeing tgem again shs was unhappier then ever at her parents house. It was honestly a miracle that they hadn't caught on yet.

"Dawna Emilia Flynn!!" A booming voice came from downstairs, a deep, angry and familiar booming voice.

Maybe they had caught on then.

"Oh what the actual-" Sirius cut himself and became a dog. Her parents knew who he was but they didn't know if they had ministry officials with them.
Dawna scooted back into the corner of the sofa, knees pulled up to her chest and Remus put his hand on her ankle in a comforting way as the door flew open.

Marie came in first.
"I tried to stop them- i really did-"

Dawna's father came in next, followed by her mother and then Auror Laila Penny.

None of them looked happy.

"Miss Flynn! Mr Lupin!" Auror Penny exclaimed with an angry voice, "Neither of you are allowed to be seeing eachother. Mr Lupin-"

"Don't touch me!" Dawna yelled as she jolted away from her father, almost tripping over the coffee table but Remus jumped up and caught her. She grappled onto his arms in a panic and steadied herself.

"Let go of my daughter!" Her father demanded, he was red in the face from anger.
"Mr Flynn, if you could calm down-" Penny tried.
"Don't tell me to calm down-"
Penny waved her wand in her father's direction and his mouth kept moving but no sound came out.
"I will restrain you if I have to Mr Flynn sso stay there." Penny ordered, even she was losing her patience now.

"Right," Hse composed herself and turned to Remus, Dawna and the dog as Dawna let go of Remus though still stood close, her hand fell to brush the top of Padfoots head. "Mr Lupin, since you have blatantly ignored the warnings we gave you regarding keeping your distance to Dawna Flynn I am going to have to place you under arrest."

Remus frowned,
"May I ask why I'm actually not even allowed to see her? I inquired and I inquired with the Ministry but no one gave me any answers, I was simply turned away because of what- who I am." The tall man informed Penny, "I really hope the discrimination by the Auror department isn't something I have to bring up to your higher ups. Im sure it wouldn't do well for you or your teams."
Penny huffed,
"You can't blackmail-"
"I'm not blackmailing you, I just want to know why I'm nit allowed to see her and I'll think about not submitting a complaint."
"Remus you could have asked-"
"I know."

Dawna's father stomped his foot loudly.

"Alright Mr Lupin, Dawna's parents raised a concern that since Dawna has been stuck in the body of a cat for so long that the development of her brain had stunted or her brain just hadn't developed properly and that because she had evidently become dependent on you that you'd try.. " Penny trailed off and looked away awkwardly,
" That I'd try? " Remus questioned.
"That you'd try take advantage of me." Dawna filled and Remus laughed out loud,
"That is ridiculous."
"That's what I told them."

"And although completely ridiculous I do understand the notion."

Dawna blinked at him in surprise.

"So you understand why we didn't want her to go with you then?" Dawna's mother spoke up, she seemed smaller amd withdrawn.

"Of course, she's your daughter and sending her off with a man you barely know after getting her back after sixteen long years isn't something anyone would want to do," Remus replied and his hand moved to rest on the small of Dawna's back, "but you have to believe me when I say that I would never do anything to harm her. I don't think I'd be able to live with myself if I ever did."

The room was silent,

"That doesn't change the fact that you broke-"
"I want all charges that may come to exist and any safety measures placed to cease." Her mother interrupted and her father threw a lamp at the wall.
"Hey!" Marie exclaimed, "I AM pressing charges for that."

"Are you serious mum?" Dawna asked and her mother hesitantly stepped forwards and took Dawnas hands and brought them up to her mouth.
"Of course. You're not happy with us, maybe you'd be happy with him and his dog." Dawna mother looked down at Padfoot and winked with a sad smile.

"I'll visit you mum." Dawna said as she pulled her mum into a hug.
"Best not any time soon, give your father time.."
"Thank you so much mama." Dawna gave her one last squeeze before she stepped back towards Remus.

"We'll still need to run brain scans and all that lot, are you still aat the same address Mr Lupin?" Penny asked and Remus nodded gently,
"Yes, I am."
"Brilliant, we'll be in touch- Miss Day if i can have a chat with you about the charges you want to press against Mr Flynn-"

Dawna grabbed Remus' hand and gave it a happy squeeze before she ushered down the stairs with Padfoot to the fireplace.

Remus went to follow but Dawna's mother stopped him.
"Look after her Remus, and for Merlin sake you have try her spaghetti bolognese. I'm sure she'd love to make some for you and Sirius." She told him amd Remus smiled down at the frail woman and nodded,
"I'll look after her with my best abilities." Remus told her before ge fled down the stairs.

"So, your place?" Sirius asked and tilted his head, "I've never been."
"Well first time for everything Pads." Remus said as he crowded the three of them into the fireplace and Dawna felt her eyes prick with tears as Remus tgrew down tge floo powder and muttered an address.

She was with them. She was with Sirius and Remus.

She was with her boys.

"Why are you crying Dawna?" Sirius asked as he pat some soot on her shoulder away,
"Im just happy."

Remus pulled her into a side hug and she grinned up at him with a laugh,
"So are we, right Pads?"

Sirius rocked on the balls of his feet and gazed at the pair with a knowing look.

"Oh absolutely." Sirius spun on his heel amd looked around the drab looking livingroom, "Now, Remus, where's your bedroom?",

Remus screeched a protest as he tried to grab at Sirius but missed as the man shot off.

Sirius cackled.
