mooningremusRemus was feeling like shit, as he did after every full moon. At least Willy had found a place to lock him up, and it hadn't been so bad. He'd woken up feeling sore as usual, but at least he hadn't gotten loose. And now he was just letting Willy lead him back. They had to go briefly back into the real world, he knew, on their way back to the cabin.
They stepped out of a mirror and into what appeared to be an antiques shop. And maybe, when it came down to it, Remus shouldn't have been surprised to see what was there waiting for them.
The wizard who'd been following him. Standing there with his wand out and a smirk plastered on his face.
"Found a body this morning," Rory said. "Not far from here. Ripped to shreds. I'm taking you in."
Remus just leaned against Willy, feeling too exhausted to even respond.

Date: 2020-10-01 08:34 pm (UTC)"He's gone," he assured him. It was dim and dusty and cramped. Willy waved a hand and the mirror reassembled itself, then he moved to help Remus up.
Had it been this dark in the cramped hall before? Surely it had.

Date: 2020-10-01 09:59 pm (UTC)"And you're not anymore. Up, now. We should go before the children come back," he said quietly, ushering Remus away from the mirrors and out of the shop. The sun was unbelievably bright. He patted his pockets and put on some sunglasses.
"We'll go home," he said. "I won't call off the children until we know the ministry is off your scent."

The antique shop was only a short way to the hidden treasure, but willy couldn't stand it. The autumn sun was awful.
He hailed a taxi.
Willy...hated taxis.

Date: 2020-10-01 10:39 pm (UTC)"You don't need to live in fear anymore," he said, keeping Remus close. "We'll just go home."
He gave the driver the address of the bank across the street- the only address he actually knew.

Date: 2020-10-01 10:58 pm (UTC)Willy kept his head down in the cab, and then on the sidewalk. He only really looked up when they were in the dark alley that led to the cottage.
"Inside. There's chocolate."
And there was. On the table was a heaping bowl of candy of all kinds.

"Willy, was I.. was I dying? For um. For a moment?"
no subject
Date: 2020-10-02 10:30 am (UTC)"Probably," he replied. "But you didn't, and that's all I care about."
It took him a moment to select a sweet and it seemed he was choosy. In fact, he couldn't guess which one was black currant. He finally chose the blackest.

Date: 2020-10-02 11:45 am (UTC)"No deal," he smiled softly. A cost, yes, but Remus didn't need to get so he withheld that.
"Rejoice," he told him.

"Oh Remus," he said affectionately and kissed him.

"Do you want me to make you sausages?" Willy asked. It was a bit of a post moon tradition mow.

Date: 2020-10-02 01:49 pm (UTC)Willy smiled at him, but behind him things began to move. The stove grew hotter, and a pan appeared. It began to sizzle, packed full of sausages. The whole cottage soon smelled delicious.
"You will eat, then sleep. You'll be better by the night."
