Remus shuffled around the kitchen, whistling to himself as he chopped vegetables and put a pot on to boil in preparation for dinner. Gabe was seated at the kitchen table, scribbling in a coloring book.
"How about you work on reading a bit of your book, mate?" Remus suggested as he slid some carrots off his cutting board into the waiting stew pot.
"How about we eat dinner?" Gabe retorted, his crayon snapping as he pressed too hard on the coloring page. He tossed the crayon angrily. "Bugger."
"Gabriel Lupin!" Remus admonished. "Language, please. We don't say that in this house."
"You do," Gabe said sullenly.
"Yes, and I'm an adult," replied Remus, narrowly avoiding his finger with the cutting knife as he turned his attention to chopping celery. "It's not a word I'd like you to use, please."
"Bugger that," Gabe muttered.
"Pardon?"
"I said 'Bugger that'," Gabe snapped, pushing his coloring book away.
"Room, now," Remus said between gritted teeth.
Gabe shoved his coloring book to the floor and stormed off, leaving Remus to pick up the mess. As Gabe's bedroom door slammed, Remus bent to pick up the book and sighed heavily. Gabe was getting to the age where he was slowly testing Remus' boundaries. Tutoring him was getting harder and Gabe was frequently moody and impatient.
As he straightened up the crayons and went back to preparing dinner, he heard the front door.
"Hello," he called out to Tonks. "I'm in the kitchen."</div>
