For The Love of Pranks! I Love You!

On To The Next Adventure

"Eeevey." My name being gently called from my bedside, but I don't wanna get up.

"Time to wake up Love." Now I recognize the voice to be that of my boyfriend...I slowly reach up with my good hand searching for his face, once it's found I gently but firmly push his face away from mine.

"Mmmf. Was that necessary Love?"

"Yes, you're waking me up which is not okay."

"It will be once you hear that Madam P gave you the good to go once you get up!" He says the last part while yanking the blanket from my grasp and off my body.

"Fred!"

"Now get up! Katie got you some fresh clothes to change into." He says with an innocent grin that is anything but that.

"Fine, fine."

I grab the clothes and go behind the curtain suddenly wondering how I am going to do this when I can't use my arm...ha! That's the beauty of magic! I use a simple changing spell and pull away the curtain smiling in success.

"Has Remus been by?" Suddenly remembering the poor man is probably punishing himself for this.

"I think he came by a couple times yesterday, but I haven't seen him since." I sigh hearing this. He's locking himself away.

"You go ahead and I'll meet you in the Great Hall. I need to go talk to Remus."

He nods in understanding, giving my forehead a kiss before we part ways. Heading towards Moony's office I crack the door, knowing there'll be no students but wanting to make sure.

"Moony?" I peak in seeing him face away from the doors.

"Hello Evelyn." Ouch. He never calls me that, unless he's upset with me.

"Back to formalities are we Remus?" Letting the hurt show in voice as I shut the door behind me.

"Sorry it's just– How are you feeling?" He says focusing solely on my arm.

"Oh. That's what this is about? Remus you know I don't blame you—"

"Well I do Evelyn. If I had simply remembered my potion the other night none of this would've happened." He turns away from me out of frustration and probably guilt. Making my heart ache.

"It was one slip up Remus. One after what? 4 years? It was bound to happen—" trying to keep my voice calm, but we go through this every time.

"But I shouldn't have let it happen! I can't be reckless like that with you Paws. Too much is at risk, and I'd never forgive myself if anything worse were to happen to you."

"I'm fine Remus. This is what I signed up for remember? This was my idea. I wanted to help you, and that's what I'm doing. No matter how many times you tell me to stop. I won't because I love you, and it's what family does for each other."

I hug him with my good arm, as he gently wraps his arms around me, more than likely shocked at my argument. I feel him release a breath visibly relaxing.

"Now will you please stop beating yourself up over this?"

"I'm n—"

"Yes you are. I know you Moony, you can't help but beat yourself up."

"In more ways than one apparently." He says gesturing to his face making us laugh a bit.
"But really, how are you feeling?"

"A bit sore but I'm good. Madam P gave me a spell for you to help me with the bandages once we get home. But other than that, I'm good as new!"

I say with a reassuring smile, finally getting one out of him as well. Then I notice his things aren't on their normal place on his shelves, then I notice the cases.

"No. Dumbledore didn't sack you. Did he?" I round on Moony and he looks sheepish. No.

"Well, uh...Snape he—er accidentally let slip that I'm a werewolf this morning at breakfast."

"What?! You've got to be joking! I'm going to give Snivellous a piece of my mind–"

"No Paws! It's alright—"

"It is not! He has no right to do such a thing! So what? Dumbledore felt he had to agree—?"

"No Evey. I resigned."

"What? B–but you can't! Moony you're the best teacher we've had since I got here!"

"I know Evey. Harry already gave me the lecture—"

"Good. Tell Dumbledore you weren't serious–"

"I can't do that Evelyn. You know, first thing tomorrow there'll be tons of letter from parents objecting to someone like me teaching their kids."

"So. I'd like to see those parents try and teach their kids anything!—"

Before I can continue my rant Moony pulls me into a hug which I reluctantly melt into his embrace.

"I'm gonna miss you."

"You live with me Paws. Not like you'll never see me again." He laughs gently and I smile.

"True. But you won't be my professor. I might actually get into trouble with our new professor..." This causes him to really laugh this time, one I haven't heard in a while.

"Well in that case. You didn't hear it from me. But you and those twins have my total permission to give em hell."

"This is why I love you Moony! There is a Marauder in you!"

"Oh hush! I've always been one. I just had to act like a responsible adult and set an example."

I pull away from our hug to raise my eyebrow at him and with both snort before laughing some more.

"I love you Moony."

"Love you too Paws. Now let's go eat yeah?"

We head down to the Great Hall discussing the year and if we have any plans for the summer. I bring up the possibility to maybe see Dad, but I'll have to wait for a letter. Make sure he's safe. He also mentions staying at the Weasley's which surprises me since, well I'd be staying with my boyfriend, but I'm not gonna bring it up ha.

"Everything good with Lupin?" Fred asks as I sit down between him and George.

"Yeah, unfortunately though he's resigned and won't be back next year.

"That's rubbish." George says as he pokes his head around his brother. I nod, but we soon start eating and talk of summer comes up.

"You guys excited for the Quidditch Cup this summer?"

"Yeah!" The twins and Lee say at the same time causing Lee to look horrified at the two causing us to laugh.

"Who'd ya think is gonna make it into the final?" Lee asks after his shock has worn off.

"Dunno, but my bet's on Ireland. They've been doing real well so far."

I say before being distracted by commotion coming from where the trio are sitting. I look over to see Harry unwrapping a new Firebolt, holding up a big grey Hippogriff feather. Leaning into Fred smiling, seeing Harry's face light up with the present of a new broom from Dad makes me realize yeah it was a crazy year, and probably more to come..

But I have a feeling everything is going to be okay.
