The Other Aunt (A Harry Potter fanfiction)

Over the Moon

AN: Hey guys! I hope you like this! Transformation is next chapter, but it should be out very quickly! I hope this has enough romance in it.

Anna skipped through the Hogwarts halls. The full moon was scheduled for that night. She had made an arrangement with Albus in which she was aloud to tend to her husband's 'illness' every full moon and the day after, if needed. She told Harry and his friends that she would be absent and, while they didn't seem particularly happy with the news, they understood. Severus's reaction was ironically more childish than their's. Sev held a grudge against her husband thanks to an incident that had revealed his condition to Severus and had nearly cost the Slytherin his life. Severus had grumbled under his breath and sulked. She couldn't blame him, Lockhart would probably be bugging him about the Mandrake potion.

Anna wanted to make the most of her time with Remus, so instead of her normal robes, she opted for a royal blue tunic with gold designs and a pair of high heels, over which she wore a darker blue hooded cloak. She wore the outfit because she knew Remus loved her hair and her scarlet locks stood out very well against the blue in the fabric.

Anna felt bad for leaving only two days after Mrs. Norris' petrification but she would've felt worse if she left Remus alone for another full moon. The witch got on her broom and flew just outside of the school boundaries before simply aparating all the way to the front door Lupin household. She grinned pressed the doorbell and waited a minute, but no one answered. She tried it again. No answer. She rang the bell one more time but, still, no one came to the door. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She spun around and found herself face to face with- "MOONY!" She hugged him and he picked her up, spinning her around, "RED!" He was grinning from ear to ear. It just went to show how much Anna changed his life for the better, never before had he smiled so much on the night of a full moon.

He set her down gently, but did not move his arms from around her, "I missed you, Anna." She smiled and gripped his tie, pulling him into a kiss. She let go and winked, "I missed you more." He shook his head and they went inside. She took off her cloak and hung it by the door and kicked off her heels, which had ready begun to hurt her feet, "So, how have you been doing without me? You haven't been living on frozen dinners have you?" He chuckled, "No, I actually tried my best to eat a homemade meal most of the time. Don't worry though, you'll always be the master chef in this house." She smirked, "Thank you, but I wasn't worried. We're having lasagna tonight by the way!"

He pulled her to the couch and she laughed and reacted her head on his shoulder he tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, "How have you been? Has anything interesting happened at Hogwarts this year." She hesitated to answer. He probably didn't know about the cat. Should she tell him? It was too late though, she had stayed quiet for too long. She could already feel his big, sad, brown puppy-dog eyes fill with concern, "Anna? What is it? What's happened?" She sighed and explained, "The other day, something disturbing occurred. Filch's cat was found petrified and hung upside down and there was a message...written in blood." He breathed, "What did it say? She looked down and whispered, "The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware." Remus paused to decipher the meaning of the words and his eyes widened at what the words implied, "Anna, you're muggle born, no, not just muggle born, you're you. You are the closest magical relative to Harry Potter, you are an auror, you've openly supported and protested in favor of everything Voldemort despises. What would happen if you got hurt?"

Anna quieted her husband with a soft kiss, "You worry too much. There has only been one victim and it's a cat and it wasn't killed, it was petrified. There will be a cure once the Mandrakes are ready. Even so, it is my responsibility to help protect the students at the school. It's not just us anymore Remus, we have Harry and his friends to think about. Besides, if this thing really is going to start picking of students, they'll need a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that actually knows how to defend themselves against the dark arts. I love you with all my heart, but I can't leave now. It's probably nothing. For all we know, it could be Peeves going a bit too far in his pranks. I'll be fine." They both knew she was just trying to make him feel better, but Remus decided not to ruin their time together. He kissed his wife on the forehead and checked his watch, "You better get cooking now if you're going to get that Lasagna done by dinner." She smiled, "Thanks, Remy."

Remus watched his wife disappear not the kitchen and went to his desk. He got out his parchment paper, ink, and quills and began to write a letter.

Dear Severus,

Please don't burn this letter before reading it, this is important. I know we don't exactly see eye to eye, but if there's one thing we both care about, it's my wife, Anna. I'm assuming you are aware of the incident involving Mrs. Norris' petrification and, more importantly, the threat that was written in blood on the walls? This may mean that Anna along with several others are at risk. I ask you to please try to keep an eye on Anna. I know that you probably were already planning to do this but I wanted to be assured that someone was there to keep her out of trouble and, as much as I hate it, my wife probably spends more time with you in that school than any other staff member. It's not that I don't trust her, she just seems to attract as much trouble as James did in school.

-Remus

He folded the parchment and put it in an envelope. Remus whistled for Arthur who chirped happily before carefully picking up the letter and flew off. Remus groaned in frustration. He and Severus were in the most awkward situation ever. They were the two men in one amazing woman's life. Severus and the Marauders had always had trouble sharing Anna. In school, it had almost felt like they were at war. Whenever Anna would be talking to Snape and one or all of the marauders approached, everyone would tense and the only person who would remain oblivious was Anna. Sure, she noticed when they insulted each other or something, but she never seemed to feel the wave of tension that always filled the air.

James....he never liked the Slytherin. There were several reasons why. The most obvious one was that he and Severus were complete polar opposites in personality. It was also the fact that James was raised by very rich parents and he had a very strong dislike for Slytherins and so did Sirius. He had a good home life. Remus didn't know much about Severus' background, he couldn't get a peep from Anna about it. Remus knew it couldn't have been good though. So, naturally he hated James because James' life seemed perfect to Severus. James and Severus had also both fought over Lily, of course.

James was pretty awful to Severus but Remus knew the boy had good intentions. The marauders were very close. When they first formed the group they agreed to always protect each other. James wouldn't admit it to Anna, but he obviously saw the Slytherin as a threat to her and to the group. James and Sirius were always fiercely protective of Anna because she was like their sister. Peter always just backed James up. Remus sighed. He honestly felt a bit protective, himself. He could already tell that the next time he saw Severus, it was going to be full of tension.

-Time skip-

Dinner was delicious, but it was over quickly. Now it was time to prepare for his change. Anna looked at her husband, "Did you take your wolfs bane every night this week?" He shook his head, "Sorry, I forgot on Thursday and by the time I remembered, it was too late." She bit her lip but shrugged. If wasn't really a problem when it wasn't on school grounds. As long as no one was on their property, she could easily keep Mooney in check in her fox form. It was only ever a problem when there were other people around in human form. Mooney will let her be with him while she's in human form sometimes too, after she get's him calmed down enough to recognize her as her. Without the potion, Remus wouldn't have control, but that isn't a problem because she managed to familiarize herself with her husband's werewolf counterpart. However, if she was in human form Mooney was still very protective of her, so it was important that no one came near them during this time.

She brought out a metal briefcase, protected by the shielding charm. She packed in it spare clothes and a knife for emergencies. It was routine for them now. She and her friends did it every month during school and when they began living together, she took over the responsibility of taking care of Mooney. She glanced at him, "Ready?" Remus pulled her into another mind-blowing kiss, "Now I am."
