THIS MORNING AT BREAKFAST WAS QUITE EVENTFUL. Students buzzing with excitement for their first trip to Hogsmede, chatting about the things they intended to buy, except for Harry and Artemis. Both twins looked gloomy, their friends sparing them looks of pity as Artemis poked her food with the fork.

"There has to be a way for you guys to go," Ron huffed, shoving his food into his mouth and Hermione grimaced at the disgusting sight.

"Well I think it's better if they stay, safer too." Hermione speaks up and Harry grumbles under his breath, setting his fork down.

"Well you two enjoy yourselves, I'm going to the library." Artemis stands up after finishing her food, Hermione raises a brow in surprise.

"You? The library?" She asks but Artemis just shrugs it off before heading out of the Great Hall as the third year and older students all exit the hall behind her, she takes a left towards the stairs as the rest of the crowd go right towards the courtyard.

———

"Miss Potter," Remus' voice calls out in surprise seeing the young girl reading through a book about spells and dozing off at the same time. Artemis jerks up at the call of her name, head snapping to the side where Remus is standing, a book in his hand.

"Oh, professor." The girl greets with an awkward smile.

"What brings you here?" Remus asks, standing in front of the table curiously. "No Hogsmede for you?"

Artemis hums softly, "no.. didn't get my form signed." She mumbles and the man nods in understanding. "I see.. well I was just about to take a stroll, would you and Harry like to join me?" He asks.

Remus watched as Artemis thought it over before nodding, "okay."

———

The three of them walked along the bridge, Harry and Lupin chatting away as Artemis walked beside her brother. "Professor?" Harry called out, "I have a question."

"You're wondering why I didn't let you face the boggart dementor?" The professor asks knowingly.

Harry nods, "yeah.."

"Well I was reluctant at first to let you face the boggart in the first place," Remus explains. "I thought that your biggest fear would've been Voldemort."

The twins both do a double take at their teachers admission and Remus chuckles, "I'm not scared of a name."

Artemis smiles at that and Harry looks equally impressed, "most people are."

Remus nods in agreement, "they are. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself." He quotes, "so no point being scared. We won once."

The man peers down at the twins, "do you know how I knew you both on the train?"
