Lost Love Found

Chapter 4: Lupin's Love Story.

Remus Lupin was very nervous as he walked toward his first Defense Against the Dark Arts class since he had come back to Hogwarts. He was wondering as to how the students would react now that their werewolf teacher was back. He really feared their rejection. He walked into the classroom fifteen minutes before the class started and he was surprised to see that Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown, and Hermione Granger were already there.

"Good morning," he said shyly.

"Good morning Professor! We are so glad you are back!" said Parvati.

"Yes Professor, we really missed you," added Hermione.

"We sure did because that guy that we had last year, Professor Moody, was really creepy," said Lavender pulling a face.

"Yeah and did you know that he ended up being an impostor working for You-Know-Who?" asked Parvati.

"Yes, I heard the story. Well, thanks for the warm welcome. I am glad to be back too," said Remus smiling as he sat down in front of his desk and began taking books out of his briefcase.

The three girls gathered closer together and began talking lower, but not low enough to not be heard by Lupin.

"What do you think about the new kid? Isn't he cute? What's his name?" said Parvati dreamily.

"Yeah, he is cute and his name is Adrian," answered Lavender. "What do you think Hermione?"

"I think he is an arrogant idiot," snapped Hermione.

"No he's not, he's nice," said Parvati. "Hey Hermione, you and Ron are pretty good friends right?"

"Yes"

"Do you know if he likes someone?"

"You like Ron?" said Lavender and Hermione together in surprise.

"W-well he isn't bad looking," answered a flushed Parvati. "I mean, I never see him around many girls aside from you Hermione and his sister. Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I'm madly in love with him or anything. It was a question out of mere curiosity, oh forget it!"

"He doesn't like anyone, you have a clear path with him," teased Hermione laughing.

"Oh, shut up Hermione!" giggled Parvati.

"Have you seen Mark and Patrick? They are so handsome, too bad they are in Slytherin," said Lavender.

"And that they both have girlfriends," sighed Parvati. "But what about that sixth year Jonathan from Ravenclaw? He was looking at you during breakfast Lavender."

"Really?" asked Lavender excitedly.

"Yes"

"Oh my God!"

Lavender and Parvati giggled while Hermione rolled her eyes.

As he was listening to the girls talking about boys and love a rush of memories brought Lupin back to his seventh year at Hogwarts: the year he fell in love with her...

Clara was the last girl in the world Remus ever thought he would fall in love with. "I wouldn't marry her even if she was the last woman in the universe" or "I would rather kiss a manticore than even touch her" were Remus' usual responses when James or Sirius teased him about "hatred being a kind of love" and "what a cute couple they would make."

Since she had come to Hogwarts, as a third year transfer student, her and Remus had become enemies. Even though both of them were in Gryffindor and they were both in the same year they just couldn't get along. Actually none of Remus' best friends got along with her very well. They used to call her the "brainless snob." The "snob" part fitted her perfectly since she was the daughter of a wealthy and very important member of the Ministry of Magic and she constantly bragged about it. Now, the "brainless" part didn't suit her at all because she always got perfect marks and she was one of the smartest girls in all her classes. The reason they called her that was because all she seemed to care for and talk about were clothes, shoes, boutiques, make-up and money. The only persons that really knew the smart, sweet, caring and sensible girl behind the mask of frivolity were her father and her best friend Lily Evans.

For three years the "Remus vs. Clara war" hadn't gone beyond snide comments and a few pranks, but it was during the end of their sixth year and the beginning of their seventh year at Hogwarts that Clara and Remus' relationship worsened. The main reason for that was that James had begun to date Lily, which meant that she spent more time with the Marauders and of course she often brought Clara along. Lily had been easily accepted by the Marauders as a friend, but Clara hadn't.

Remus and Clara's relationship reached breaking point one day when Remus, Sirius, James and Peter were, as usual, horsing around in the Great Hall. Accidentally, Remus spilled a bottleful of "Never-b-gone indelible ink" on top of Clara's Arithmancy essay.

"You idiot! I've been working on that paper for days!" roared Clara.

"What a cry baby! I'll fix it," said Remus touching the stained parchment with his wand but nothing happened.

"Would you care to read the label on the bottle?" said Clara throwing the bottle at Remus' face.

The bottle hit Remus' forehead. He caught it before it bounced back to the floor and read the label. "Never-b-gone ink? Well, it's not my fault that you had that ink bottle laying around like that."

Clara was furious. All she wanted to do was to wring Remus' neck or hex him, but both actions would mean detention (she had never had a detention in her life and she wasn't about to stain her school record with one because of him). Then she saw Remus' favorite sweater laying on the table. Without thinking twice she seized the sweater and ran out of the Hall with it.

"Hey, give that back!" called Remus after her.

Clara didn't even look back. She kept running past the front doors and across the grounds with Remus, James, Sirius, Peter and Lily also running after her. She finally stopped in front of the lake.

"Give it back or I'll hex you," roared Remus holding his wand.

"You want it back? Well, go get it!" yelled Clara throwing the sweater into the lake. Remus stood there gawking at the spot where his sweater sank irremediably.

Clara was waiting for him to yell at her but he just gave her his most stern look, turned, and walked away.

"Hope you are happy now bitch," said Sirius as he went after Remus.

James, the only one of the Marauders who seemed to dislike her the least, was looking daggers at her. "I can't believe this is the kind of people you associate with, Lily." He walked away too.

"James wait," cried Lily running after him.

"What about my essay? Doesn't anyone care?" called Clara furiously after them, stomping her feet on the ground.

That night when Lily entered the girl's dormitory she found Clara sitting on the floor redoing her essay.

"I can't believe what you did Clara," said Lily looking at her friend.

"What's the big deal about that stupid sweater? I mean, James and all his good for nothing friends are looking at me as if I just murdered someone and now, you too. I can't believe everyone is making such a big fuss about that sweater. I can buy that git ten sweaters much better than the one I threw in the lake."

"Clara, the thing is that the sweater doesn't really matter. What matters is that inside one of the sweater's pockets Remus had a locket."

"A locket, so what?"

"This locket was very important to Remus because it was his mother's. You know that she died during the summer vacation and that locket was one of the few remembrances he had of her."

"I-I d-didn't know," stammered Clara covering her face with her hands.

"I know you didn't mean to do it Clara, but I think you should apologize to Remus."

"You are right Lily. I'll apologize to him tomorrow, if he doesn't kill me first."

The next day Clara was looking for an opportunity to talk to Remus in private but he was always accompanied by his friends and every time she went near them she would only receive cold stares and cruel remarks. She finally got her opportunity at the end of classes when she bumped into Remus in one of the hallways.

"Remus," she started nervously.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I, I need to talk to you for a minute."

Remus' reply was a cold stare. She breathed deeply and began, "I am terribly sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn't know that you had that locket in there. Lily told me about it. I'm really sorry... You don't believe me, do you?" she said glancing directly into his eyes.

Remus held her gaze and sighed heavily. "Yes, I believe you are sorry."

"I wish I could do something to make it up to you."

"Nothing can be done now. Don't worry about it," and he walked sadly away.

"There must be a way," thought Clara to herself and then something clicked in her head. "Gillyweed!" she said excitedly and she went running towards the dungeons.

An hour later Clara and Lily were standing in front of the lake. "Are you sure about this Clara? That water must be really cold."

"Yes I'm sure. I'm going to get that locket back. It is the least I can do."

"Clara, be careful. Remember that the gillyweed only lets you breath under water for about an hour."

"Don't worry, I know. I don't think it'll take me that long," said Clara before she swallowed the gillyweed and dived into the cold water.

Fifteen minutes, half an hour, one hour and still no signs of Clara. Lily was pacing nervously in front of the lake muttering, "come on Clara, come on." But still no signs of Clara so Lily decided that it was time to go get help. She ran frantically until she reached the Great Hall.

"James help," she panted trying to catch her breath.

"What happened?" said James putting his arm around Lily's shoulders.

"It's Clara."

"What did the brainless snob did now?" asked Sirius nonchalantly without looking up from the game of Wizard's Chess he was playing with Peter.

"She ate some gillyweed to go into the lake, but now she's been there for more than an hour and you know that the effects of the gillyweed wear off after an hour," panted Lily.

"What in the world did she go into the lake for?" asked Remus. Concern written all over his face.

"She went to get your locket."

"What? Is she crazy?" Remus dashed out of the Hall followed by Lily and his friends. Without thinking twice Remus jumped into the water and began searching frenetically for Clara. A minute later he came out of the water carrying an unconscious Clara with him.

"Is she alive?" sobbed Lily.

"She's not breathing and I think she drank too much water down there," said Remus taking out his wand and pointing it to Clara's chest. "Respiro," he said and a blue light came out of the tip of his wand and spread all over Clara's chest. She stirred in Remus' arms and began coughing. Her eyes flickered open.

"Remus," was all she managed to whisper in between coughs.

"We better take her to the hospital wing," said a concerned Sirius.

"Yeah, let's go," said Remus getting up and carrying Clara on his arms.

When they got to the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey, the nurse, told them that Clara would be fine but that she rather had her spend the night in the hospital just to be safe. Remus asked her if he could stay for a while and Madam Pomfrey agreed hesitantly. "Okay, but don't tire her and don't stay here for long."

After his friends left, Remus sat down next to Clara's bed. Her eyes were closed and strands of her blond hair framed her small face. Remus looked at her attentively. First his eyes concentrated on her closed eyes and her long lashes, then on her nose: it was a bit pointy, but pretty nonetheless. Then his eyes traveled down to her lips and lingered there for a while wondering if she had ever been kissed.

"She looks like an angel. I've never noticed how beautiful she is," thought Remus.

Clara opened her eyes when she heard him sitting down.

"Why did you do it? You almost got yourself killed," whispered Remus.

"I wanted to get your locket back. Lily told me how important it was for you and I felt awful for what I did. Here," she said straightening up a little, reaching up to her neck and taking off a gold chain with a heart-shaped locket dangling from it.

"I got it just before that stupid grindylow grabbed my ankle. I tried to use the spell we learned in class but then I remembered that I had forgotten my wand in the dormitory."

Remus took the locket from her hands and said reproachfully, "thank you very much but, listen to me, don't ever do something like that again. You scared all of us to death."

She grinned. He felt rather awkward because she had never smiled at him before, so he joked, "I guess you do have a heart after all."

Clara laughed. "Yes, I do have a heart and a brain too for your information."

She looked at him straight in the eye and blushed at the memory of how warm and protected she had felt in his arms.

"Friends?" Clara offered a trembling hand that Remus took in between his.

"Of course. Now you better rest," said Remus getting up while Clara squeezed his hand tighter.

"Thank you for saving my life," she said looking up at him.

"No problem." Before he could think about it, he found himself bending down to kiss her forehead. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Remus."

After that day Remus and Clara did become really good friends. They got to know each other very well, and even the other Marauders began to like her.

Remus was tutoring Clara in Defense Against the Dark Arts, the only class that she had trouble with. Defense Against the Dark Arts was Clara's least favorite class mainly because of its instructor: Professor Calypso. Professor Calypso was the most severe and strict teacher at Hogwarts. He disliked all of his students, and all of his students disliked him too. But for some strange reason he seemed to dislike Clara the most and that made her very nervous and clumsy, which didn't help at all.

Usually Remus and Clara would study in the Gryffindor common room, but that day Remus suggested they did it outdoors since it was "such a lovely day in spite of the cool wind." The real reason behind this was that Remus wanted to be alone with Clara away from the noisiness of the common room. He needed to tell her something.

They had been studying for a while when the cold made them call it a night. They both stood up from the bench they had been sitting on and began gathering their books and parchments.

"Thanks for tutoring me Remus. If it weren't for you I would've failed the test" said Clara.

"No problem. You are a really good student."

"Why, thank you," she sighed glancing around the castle grounds.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, it's just that I was thinking that in about 5 months we'll be leaving the school forever."

"I thought you couldn't wait to get out of school and be free," joked Remus.

"I do want to get out of school, but at the same time, I feel sad because I know I'm going to miss Hogwarts, the teachers, my friends..."

"Even Professor Calypso?" said Remus laughing.

"Well, maybe not him, but I'll miss everybody else," grinned Clara.

As Remus observed her, he was trying to gather all his determination to tell her what he had been rehearsing the previous night.

"Come on Remus, tell her," said a voice inside his head. "What's the worst that could happen? If she says no, well, that'll be the end of it. Yeah and then I'll have a broken heart. Come on, you have to do it."

"Are you okay Remus?" she asked looking at him.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"I don't know. You look kind of worried and anxious, and you keep looking at me like I have pixies dancing on top of my head."

"I, I am f-fine," stammered Remus.

"Okay, let's go. I'm freezing," said Clara bending down to pick up her book bag.

Remus gathered all his determination. "It's either now or never," he thought to himself. "Clara?"

"What?" She said still crouched over her bag.

Remus caught her arm and pulled her upward gently so she would face him. She stood in front of him with a puzzled look on her face. Just then a gust of air blew by entangling strands of her blond hair. He brushed them away from her face and then brushed her cheek with his fingers, which made her shiver. Before she knew what was going on she heard him whisper her name next to her ear and then she felt his lips kissing on her hair. She slowly turned her face and he pulled her even closer until their bodies finally touched. Then, his lips found their way to hers. Remus felt Clara's hands chasing down his spine and stopping around his lower back. For a delightful moment Clara felt each of her breaths being grasped by Remus' own. She felt her legs trembling and her heart pounding madly in her chest, but nothing, except being wrapped in Remus' arms, mattered now. Remus felt like he was in heaven. He didn't want to let go of Clara but finally, their need for air made her pull away from his lips.

"What does this mean Remus?" she whispered trying to catch her breath.

"It means that I'm madly in love with you," he said holding her tighter and closer to him.

"Remus" is all she managed to say before he gave her another magical kiss that sent sparks running down her spine. She pulled her lips away from his and sank her head in his chest. She could feel his rapid heartbeats through his thick robes.

"I love you too," she said putting her arms tightly around his waist.

That was the beginning of their love story. From being enemies they passed to be the perfect couple, holding hands wherever they went and sending love notes to each other all the time. Everyone was delighted with their relationship. That is, almost everyone. Severus Snape, who hated Remus and his friends, just couldn't stand seeing Remus or any of the Marauders happy. He wanted to get back at them for a prank that Sirius had played on him a couple of years before, and now that Remus had a girlfriend, Severus saw the perfect opportunity to get his payback.

"What will sweet Clara think when she finds out that her beloved boyfriend is a werewolf? I bet she'll be horrified," said Snape smirking to himself as Remus and Clara passed in front of him holding hands.

Snape's perfect opportunity came sooner than he had expected. He bumped into Clara and Lily in one of the corridors in the next full moon night.

"Clara, Lily! What a surprise to see you two without your boyfriends. Where are they?" he said with a malicious grin.

"That's not of your business Snape," snapped Lily.

"Silly me! I forgot what day is today. It's time for Remus' monthly escapade," said Severus.

"What do you mean by monthly escapade?" asked Clara frowning.

"You mean you don't know Clara? Oh my! I'm so sorry. Never mind me. Forget I said anything," said Severus feigning regret.

"What don't I know? What are you talking about?"

"Don't listen to him, he's just talking rubbish. Let's go Clara," said Lily glaring at Severus.

Lily and Clara walked away from Severus. A few paces ahead Clara stopped suddenly.

"Go ahead Lily. I'll meet you in the common room."

"Where are you going?"

"I forgot something in the library."

"I'll go with you."

"No, don't worry. I'll get it."

Clara ran back towards the library leaving a worried Lily behind her. She retraced her steps until she found Severus nearby the spot where she and Lily had bumped into him a couple of minutes earlier.

"Severus," she called after him.

"Yes, how may I help you?" asked Severus, his lips curling into an evil smile.

"What were you trying to tell me about Remus?"

"Oh, nothing."

Clara put both her hands on his chest and pinned him against the wall. "Tell me now."

"I don't think I am the right person to tell you."

"Tell me. I'm loosing my patience."

"I'm terribly sorry, but I can't tell you. I can only advice you."

Clara was looking at him suspiciously while he raised an eyebrow maliciously. His voice barely a whisper, he said, "go to the Whomping Willow, take a large twig and prod a knot at the base of the willow. That'll freeze it and then you'll be able to get into an opening in its roots. You'll find yourself in a tunnel, follow it and you shall find your answer."

Having said that Severus pushed Clara aside and walked away with a smile of triumph forming in his lips.

Later that night Clara got up from bed, made sure that Lily was sleeping and walked out of Gryffindor tower. She walked silently all the way to the Whomping Willow. Once she was there she did as Severus had told her. Clara followed the tunnel all the way through until she saw an opening. She climbed out of the hole and found herself in a room. The dim light of several candles illuminated weakly the disordered room and Clara noticed that all its windows were boarded.

She was startled by a growl that came from the hallway behind her. She turned around and she met a pair of glistening hazel eyes. She began trembling when she saw the owner of the glistening eyes. It was a wolf. And it all clicked in her mind: the full moon, Remus disappearing once a month.

"Remus," she whispered before she found herself pinned to the floor by the wolf.

She felt a stinging pain and then she felt her warm blood trickling down her arm where the wolf's sharp claws were sinking.

"Don't move Clara." James' voice was coming from the shadowy hallway and it was rapidly followed by Sirius' voice.

"Get Clara, James, I'll get Remus. Peter, go ahead so you can freeze the willow."

Clara was frozen to the spot, her mind racing as it tried to process what was happening. She felt someone's arms grabbing her and she caught a glimpse of a big black dog fighting with the wolf before she was dragged out of the room. Soon she was back in the tunnel with James and Peter.

"Are you okay, Clara?"

"That was Remus, wasn't it?" she said in between sobs.

Peter and James nodded sadly, and they kept walking. Clara was shocked. Her whole body was trembling as the recent events sank in her mind. Then, she realized something that made her stop abruptly.

"Where did the black dog come from? What if it hurts Remus?"

"Don't worry. That was Sirius. He won't hurt Remus. He was just trying to hold him back while we got you out of there," answered James.

"Sirius is an animagus?" asked Clara in disbelief.

"Yes, James and I are animagi too. James transforms into a stag and I transform into a rat. We did it so we could keep Remus company when he transformed," said Peter. "It's a secret between us and Lily and... now you."

By now they had reached the end of the tunnel. Peter transformed into a rat and touched the knot to freeze the Whomping Willow. James got out next and then helped Clara out.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this," said Clara.

James and Peter let out sighs of relief before they escorted her back to Gryffindor Tower hidden under James' invisibility cloak. When Clara got back to her dormitory she was still trembling. She couldn't sleep so she woke Lily up to tell her what just happened.

"So what are you going to do? It isn't Remus' fault. He was bitten when he was a little kid. Oh Clara, he's been dreading something like this could happen ever since he began dating you. He really didn't want you to know that he was a werewolf. He was afraid that you might run away from him, " said Lily holding Clara's hand.

"How could he think that I would run away from him? I love him with all my heart."

"Well, I think you better tell him that tomorrow when you see him. Now, try to get some sleep."

Clara climbed to her bed and Lily tucked her in.

"Lily! But Snape knows! He's the one that told me how to get there."

"That bastard!" said Lily through gritted teeth.

"How does he know?"

"He found out a couple of years ago when Sirius played a trick on him."

Lily told Clara the whole story about Sirius' prank and how James' had saved Snape's life. She also told Clara that Dumbledore had forbidden Snape to tell anyone about it.

The next morning, Clara woke up determined to talk to Remus but she didn't see him all morning. He didn't go to breakfast and their first three classes for that day were different. She usually didn't see him until lunch, but he wasn't there either.

"Where's Remus?" she asked Peter, Sirius and James during lunch.

They just looked at each other.

"Please guys tell me. I need to talk to him."

"He said he was going to the library," said Peter. "He feels really bad about what happened last night. Please be careful with what you tell him."

"Don't worry Peter, thanks."

Clara got up from her seat and dashed across the hall towards the library. She found Remus in one of the hallways.

"Remus wait! We need to talk," she said catching her breath.

"I can't talk now. I, I have something to do," stammered Remus evading her eyes.

"I know you have nothing to do. You have just been avoiding me all day. We have to talk NOW," she cried raising her arms in frustration.

What little color was on Remus' face drained the instant the sleeve of Clara's robes slipped down showing a bandage on her right arm.

"Did I bite you?" asked a shocked Remus.

"No, I burned myself with a cauldron."

Remus grabbed Clara's arm and ripped the bandage. "This is not a burn. It's a scrape. I hurt you, didn't I?"

Clara opened her mouth to reply but Snape interrupted her. "Shame on you Lupin! You hurt your own girlfriend."

Remus didn't say anything. He just stared Snape straight in the eyes furiously with his fists clenched.

"They should lock you up like the animal you really are because..." SMACK! Snape didn't finish his sentence because Clara slapped him across the face with all her strength. She almost knocked him down.

"I want you to understand something. First of all, Remus is not an animal. Second of all, he would never hurt anyone. And third of all, I believe Professor Dumbledore told you to shut your big mouth about it!" Said Clara through gritted teeth.

Snape didn't reply. He just glared at Clara and Remus before he stomped away rubbing his aching cheek. Clara grabbed Remus' arm gently and took him inside an empty classroom. Remus sat down and buried his face in his hands. Clara knelt in front of him and took his hands away from his face so he would face her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she whispered.

Remus sighed heavily. "Because I didn't want to lose you. I didn't want you to run away from me when you found out that I am a monster."

"You are not a monster. I would never run away from you. You know I love you."

A grin appeared in Remus' face. He took Clara's face in his hands and lowered his head until his lips met hers. After an enchanting moment she pulled away from his lips and got up. Remus caught her by the waist and pulled her closer so she would sit on his lap. She hugged him and he began nibbling on her neck.

"You are the cutest wolf I've ever seen," whispered Clara kissing Remus' ear.

Remus looked up from her neck laughing. "You are crazy," he said before he kissed her again.

"But you love me."

"With all my heart."

"Professor Lupin!"

Remus was brought back to the present by the greetings of several of his students. Soon the classroom was full with students and Remus stood up at the front of the classroom.

"Good morning everyone. Let's start today's lesson. Please open your books on page 15. Today we are going to study Erklings. These are elfish creatures that originated in the Black Forest in Germany. They are about three feet tall and have pointed faces. Erklings use their high-pitched cackle to entrance children and lure them away from their guardians. Once the Erkling has accomplished that, it eats the defenseless child."

In the meantime, Adrian and Ron were hurrying up the stairs and down the halls to get to class. Snape had held them for a long time giving them both lectures about respecting teachers and no fighting in school. They finally reached the corridor that led to Lupin's class. They stopped for a while outside the door to catch their breath.

"Scrub the bedpans from the hospital wing without magic again!" roared Ron breathing hastily.

"Who does that old bat think he is? I can't believe he gave us that punishment," roared Adrian.

"Perhaps you may want to come to class gentlemen," said Lupin sticking his head out of the door.

Ron and Adrian looked inside the classroom and saw that everyone was already in their seats with their heads turned looking at them. Ron caught sight of Hermione shaking her head.

"Sorry Professor Lupin, but Professor Snape held us back," panted Ron.

"So I heard. You already got a detention on your first day back? That doesn't sound good," said Lupin grinning.

"You know Professor Snape. He is too extreme and he doesn't like me," said Ron bitterly.

"Or me," added Adrian. "By the way, my name is Adrian Franco Professor. Sorry we are late."

Lupin turned to look at Adrian, and he was shaken by the impression that Adrian's face looked oddly familiar. "No problem, come in. We've lost enough time already."

Ron and Adrian found a couple of empty seats at the back of the classroom and sat down while Lupin continued giving his lecture on Erklings.

The following days of school went by smoothly with exception of the "hand-raising war" going on between Hermione and Adrian. Both of them shot their hands straight into the air as soon as any of the teachers asked a question.

"Great, we have another brainiac," said Ron once in a Transfiguration class in which he was almost knocked down when Adrian and Hermione (who were at either side of him) raised their hands at the same time.

Next Chapter: You'll find out who the new Quidditch captain of the Gryffindor team is going to be and who's going to be the new Keeper too. Also, Harry is going to receive news from Sirius. Keep reading please!!!

Author's notes: Since I don't want to be accused of plagiarism (lol) I must confess that I took the description of the Erklings from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling. Don't forget to review PLEASE!!!!

Notes for my reviewers:

1. SwissWitch: Remus is my absolutely favorite character too (obvious huh? ) Jeez! You are right Adrian is his son, but you weren't supposed to know until this chapter. Oh well, that's OK. I guess I'm too obvious lol. About Adrian's grandpa being a spy: that's such a great idea, thanks! Don't worry I have 9 chapters written already and I'm working on the 10th one, so I'll be posting constantly.

2. Barbara: did you really read my fic before?! Wow!!! I posted it on fanfiction.net but since I never got any reviews, well... I just gave up on it. And yeah I've edited it a bit (with the help of a beta reader) because the first draft sucked lol (they sent it back to me the first time I submitted it to this site) Also, I regret to tell you that Clara won't tell Remus about Adrian being his son (he's going to find out all by himself), but in the following chapters you'll know why she is so bitter towards Remus and you might feel sympathy for her lol!

3. Madame Lupin: Jeez! You're right! Adrian is Remus's son and he and his family are 100% Spanish (except for Adrian who is 50 50 because of his daddy being English lol).
