The next day, just before the sun came up, you got dressed in a pair of black pants, a button up white shirt, and your vest and robes.

Walking outside, you mounted your Inline Bandit and took off for Grace town.

You could've sworn that you had heard another broom following you but if you looked back you held the risk of crashing into a tree.

Since this was a test run, you decided to make your ride interesting- and throw anyone following off your tail.

You dove down into the forest and flew at top speeds, dodging limbs and doing barrel rolls to avoid birds and other creatures midair.

Your (h/l) now blue hair was whipping in the wind and you never felt more alive. Taking another dive, you did stunts many could only dream of doing, like letting go of your broom over a branch and dropping back onto it just in time.

Finally, after a half hour had passed, you pulled back up above the tree line and looked back to see an either shocked or amazed Professor Snape following you on his broom.

"WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME??" You yelled back in the wind, turning forward for a second.

"I'M NOT!"

"THEN WHY ARE YOU NOT TAKING A DIFFERENT ROUTE? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

"BECAUSE I ALWAYS GO THIS WAY TO THE TOWN! AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT I'LL TELL YOU?"

"BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE LYING!"

Now on to a different subject.

"WHY DID YOU BRING ME THAT CAKE?"

"WHY NOT? IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY AFTER ALL!"

You flew off, trying your best to avoid your now co worker, but he kept up, even when you landed in Grace town and started running, broom strapped to your back.

"Stop it." You said, panting with your hands on your knees, looking up at Severus.

"Stop what?" Now he was just playing you for a fool.

"Stop.... Following me."

"I need to know how you knew it was my birthday yesterday. And how you knew that my favorite cake is chocolate."

"IS THAT SERIOUSLY IT?"

"........yes, Miss (l/n)."

"Don't call me that anymore! I'm your co worker now for Merlins sake! My calendar told me for some reason! And I guessed! Most people like chocolate!"

After staring at each other blankly for a moment, Snape finally spoke.

"Very well then..... (F/n)." He said before mounting his broom. "I'll see you at work."

He took off and you scowled, brushing snow off of your pants.

Eventually you found a street sign and it read: Gringotts ave.

Perfect! Now to find the light blue house...

Looking around, you spotted it a couple houses down and ran to it, anxious to finally see your friend again.

Knocking on the door four times, a man with sandy blonde hair answered and smiled.

"(L/n)?"

"Moony."

You nearly squealed like a fan girl as you wrapped your arms around him.

"It's been such a long time! I can't believe it's really you Moony!"

He held you by the shoulders as he examined you.

"You've grown so much, and you weren't kidding when you said Snape turned your hair blue!"

"Speaking of the devil, he nearly followed me here, sometimes I question that creep."

"Come in, before you become an ice pop." Moony invited you in and you entered his small home.

It had a sitting area with a fireplace that had a fire going, two chairs and a couch, over to the right of it, there was a hallway and a dining room table. To the left of the sitting area, there was a kitchen and bar area.

You both sat and started up a conversation.

"So you're now Hogwarts head of security, that's amazing! And you say that Dumbledore asked you? That's a once in a lifetime chance, (l/n)!"

"I suppose I should tell you one thing, Moony."

"What's that, (l/n)?"

"My first name is (f/n), (l/n) is my last name. I had never told you, and that's the one thing I had regretted when you left."

"Since we're sharing names, I suppose I could tell you mine. My name is Remus Lupin. Moony was my nickname when I attended Hogwarts."

The two of you talked for a couple of hours, catching up on what the other had done throughout the couple of years it had been since you last saw each other.

Remus had to move because of a job and hadn't been given the chance to visit you before he left, and he had been staying at the house that he called The Hut.

"It's great to catch up. But you have work tomorrow. What do you do all day, (f/n)? Make sure kids aren't hiding and avoid Snape all day?"

"Just about. And if I'm called in to give assistance, I go. Easy as pie."

"I wish you luck, and I hope that we can visit again soon."

Both of you walked to the door and said your goodbyes and Remus waved until you were out of sight.

~back at Hogsmede~

You hopped off of your broom when it was about a foot off the ground and bounded for your house, running straight into Severus on your way.

"Why were you visiting Lupin?"

"He's my friend, and that's none of your business. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be returning to my humble abode now." You said the last statement with a sarcastic bow.

"I don't think so." He held you back by the shoulders, keeping you from moving.

"What do you think you're doing?" You tried to shake his hands off of you but failed, his grip was firm, but gentle.

"I'm curious, as to why there is an ad in the Daily Prophet looking for a girl about your age, with the same description as you in it,"

"Bloody hell if I know. I'm not wanted or I'd be on the front page again. Now let. Me. Go."

Releasing your shoulders, he looked down at you, almost like he was putting something together.

"Just thought, that you may not be, aware, of the situation. Good day, (l/n)."

"Good riddance to you." You instantly turned and left, annoyed by his behavior.

The rest of the day you spent cleaning, organizing, and making sure you were ready for tomorrow.

By the time you had finished, it was dinner time and you decided, let's go out for once, why not?

So you put your wand in your tall boot and headed off to the nearest restaurant there was.

~in wherever you went~

You were soon seated and your order was taken, the place was packed tonight.

While you were waiting, you heard a familiar voice from the entrance and looked over.

Oh crabbit... Not him again.

Severus noticed you and told the waitress that he was with you, he walked over and sat across from you,

"Why? The one time I decide to go out and eat you decide to come to the same exact place as me?"

"Coincidence, I suppose." The potions master responded.

"You got lucky, otherwise I would've told the waitress that I didn't know you, but I'm being nice."

The waiter came back with your food, surprised by Snape's appearance.

"The usual, Severus?" He asked.

"Yes, thank you."

As the waiter left you asked Snape a question. "Come here often, do you?"

"Every Sunday, now don't go telling your friends that because I'll know it was you."

"One question. Why did you dye my hair blue?"

No answer. He probably didn't have a good reason anyway.

Snape's order came and you ate in silence, not knowing anything else to say. At the end of the meal, you each paid for your own orders and you left the restaurant, going separate ways.
