Beauty and the Beast (Remus Lupin)

4.

"Sucks, Harry couldn't come to Hogsmeade." Rose said as everyone went off to the village near by. In third year and above you're allowed to go to Hogsmeade. So besides first and second years, Harry was also left behind.

Mcgonagall didn't think signing his form was appropriate since she was a teacher and wasn't his guardian.

So Ron, Hermione, and Rose went off to their trip. Though Rose insisted on staying, Harry didn't want to deprive the trip from her.

"We need to get him as much as we can from Honeydukes." Ron said.

"Even though actually being there would be better." Hermione said.

"It's the best option." Rose shrugged.

After Mcgonagall found out about the fight that Rose and Pansy had she was hesitant to let Rose go on the trip. However, Lupin convinced Mcgonagall that it was a misunderstanding and if Rose couldn't go then Pansy certainly shouldn't as well. Since she was the instigator.

They got to the village and the trio quickly made their way off to Honeydukes. They got all sorts of candies and chocolates. Lollipops, to fudges all for Harry.

Then they made their way to the Three Broomsticks.

"Three butterbeers, please." Rose asked the woman at the bar.

She nodded before leaving to the back.

"I wish Harry could be here, it's not the same." Rose said.

"It really isn't. It's a bit weird." Ron admitted.

"Yeah well...that's what you get for blowing up your aunt." Hermione shrugged.

"She deserved it, and you know it. It's not right talking bad about someone's parents, especially when they're dead." Rose said.

The waitress came back with three butterbeers. Rose paid and they went to a table to enjoy their drinks near the fire on a breezy Halloween afternoon.

"So how's you and Pansy?" Ron chuckled.

"Fine, it was just a mishap." Rose took a sip, "it doesn't need to be discussed."

"Agreed." Hermione turned to Ron.

"Alright, alright. No need to gang up on me." Ron said.

They got back to commons room with what felt like bagfuls of sweets from Honeydukes.

"We got as much as we could." Ron said as they all dumped their lot to Harry.

"As much as we could carry." Rose corrected.

"Dropping a few on the way..." Hermione glared at Rose.

"It was an accident. It was only a few lollipops..." Rose said.

"A few? Blimey woman, we've gotten ten and came back with three." Ron crossed his arms.

"Well you should've known better than to give them to me." Rose crossed her arms to mock Ron.

"Well, thanks guys." Harry forced a smile.

"Well, did you get any work done while we were away?" Hermione sat down next to him.

"No, Lupin made me some tea in his office and then Snape came in." Harry said.

"What happened with Snape?" Ron asked opening a chocolate frog.

"Well Snape came in with a cauldron full of a potion. And Lupin drank it." Harry said.
