Before the War( Remus Lupin Love Story)

Chapter 14

Remus POV

I looked around the station waiting for my father to come and get me. You see my father worked in the ministry as a magical creature controller. I walked around waiting for him to appear only to be left disappointed as I'm the last student to be picked up. As I waited I noticed a parcel had been placed in my trolley. I picked it up inspecting it. 

" So help me if those dunder heads are trying to prank me." I stopped seeing the neat handing writing of Victoria. I opened the letter on top of the parcel. 

Dear Remus,

I hope you have a nice Holiday and I can't wait to see everyone at Lily's. Here is your Christmas gift I hope you love it as much as James and Sirius said you would. 

Ps, If those idiots lied to me i'm gonna unleash Millie onto them. 

With Love 

Victoria Hollows

I smiled at the letter, kind of scared to open it knowing she went threw James and Sirius for this gift. I started to unwrap the parcel when my father showed up. 

" Remus, I'm so sorry i'm late, I had a meeting and then I went to check on your mother." My father started to ramble. You see my father is none other than Lyall Lupin. He had dark brown graying hair and wore glasses that behind them showed dark green eyes just like mine. I was about as tall him as him in height. We looked practically Identical minus the fact I was about an inch shorter and had a lighter skin tone compared to him. 

" Your mother is making your favorite Remy, Minced meat pie with potatoes" He smiled at me helping me with my trolley as we flooed to the house. I smiled smelling freshly baked cherry pie, and I could tell the meat pie was in the oven just by the smell. 

I looked around seeing the living room hasn't changed all that much minus the new rug. I sighed walking into the kitchen seeing my mother Hope. My mother was a small and frail women. She was smaller than my thigh and she looked sickly. I knew my mother was diagnosed with a failing heart and it sucked watching her die slowly. She looked beautiful today though. 

Her light brown hair was let loose cascading down to her shoulders and her hazel eyes looking focused on her task and I walked over hugging her as she only chuckled. 

" Ah there's my baby boy, I was starting to worry you decided to stay at school. " She turned around and kissed my head and I kissed her cheek as I tried reaching for one of the pies as she swats my hand. 

" Now Remus darling your manners are lacking again" She smiled slightly at me and I only smiled sheepishly back as she couldn't help but laugh. 

" Go unpack, dinner will be done soon." I smiled running to my room and started to unpack seeing the forgotten parcel and I sit on the bed opening the parcel as I looked at it and couldn't help but laugh at what was inside it. 

" Oh those two morons are dead when I see them." I pulled out a G string with a wolf on it as I shake my head." Did she just let them buy it and wrap it?" I ran down stairs grabbing the floo powder. 

" Mum Ill be back before dinner I need to run something to my friend real quick" I yelled from the dining room as she yelled back telling me to be back by 8 . 

I jumped into the fire yelling my destination. 

" HOLLOWS RESIDENCE"

Victoria's POV

William, Briar, and I stood in the kitchen as our grandmother tried to explain everything to us when I heard the fireplace frowning as the last person I thought would show up was standing in the door way as Monica and Isabella stare at him as he's panting. 

" Care to explain why you thought it'd be okay to let my friends convince you to get me a G string?" He stopped seeing how everyone in the room looked really serious. 

" Um... Sorry for interrupting, He tries to back out of the room as my grandmother turns to him looking him over.

" Ah you must be Lyall's son please sit enlighten us why my granddaughter bought you... what was it again?"My brothers started snickering as my parents started shaking their heads as Elden stares at the Remus and I. 

" Gran I thought he wanted one though" I smiled innocently as Remus turns scarlet before turning to me.

" WHY IN GORDICS NAME DID YOU THINK ID WANT A G STRING?" he said  voice cracking as Briar looses his shit laughing to hard, as William has to leave the room. 

" Remus in my defense your friends told me you wanted one" I smirked as he started to shake his head as he saw my grandmother with a stern look on her face as the older gentleman looked at me and I stopped seeing him. 

" Um... Hello Mr Yaxley" he paled as he walked over glaring at Remus.  

" Your Lyall Lupins boy no? The werewolf!" My eyes went wide as I stepped between them and pushed Elden back. 

" Don't touch him! Hes my friend, whether hes a werewolf, or not!" I glared at him as he glared at me pointing his wand at Remus.

" Mr. Yaxley I suggest you leave" I said my eyes getting dark as he stares at me and everyone else seeing both my parents had their wands out as well as my grandmother, and Briar as William glares at him. 

" Touch him and Ill arrest you Yaxley!" William said so cold it sent shivers down my spine as Elden glares at us calling us blood traitors leaving quickly. 

" I'm sorry" Remus looked at all of us as my grandmother walks over to him hugging him. 

" I wanted a reason to kick him out of this house since he showed up. You just saved me from probably going to Azkaban." I notice my grandmother smiling at him before ruffling his hair. 

" You definitely take after your father young Lupin. " she smiled at Remus before stretching. 

" Oh, and I love the gift my granddaughter and your friends got you... it suits you well" She smiled before leaving the house as William and Briar snort laughing.

" So, whats up Remus? did you just come over for that or did you miss me already" I smiled sitting on the counter tossing him an apple before eating one myself as he grins like a mad man. 

" I'm getting you back for this one Hollows, just be prepared when its your turn to be pranked. " I saw his smirk and his eyes twinkle with mischief. 

" Bring it on Lupin"
