RP: Remus and Ted Who: Remus Lupin, Ted Lupin Where: Ted's Flat When: Tuesday, 24 November, 2024, early evening Rating/Warnings: not anticipating any Summary: After his chat with Dumbledore, Remus stops in to give his son the news.
Rather than taking the time to return to Harry's and floo to Ted's flat, Remus apparated directly -- well, if one defines directly as "in five jumps to avoid being followed" -- to Ted's from the Doge farm. He was feeling much better about the concerns that had sent him to speak with Dumbledore in the first place and now he was eager to share the news about being offered the Defence post with his son.
Of course, he also needed to talk to Ted about the Order. Remus was glad Harry had agreed with him on that point, since he felt Harry had as much parental right to worry over Ted as he did, if not more, all things considered. It was common knowledge Remus had been a member of the Order. So, once the other side started to realise the Order was active again, it would be assumed he was involved. That would lessen that aspect of danger his involvement could place Ted in.
But, the young man deserved to know what kind of danger his father, who was only returned to him from the dead for a short time, was putting himself in -- and he needed to know to take precautions for his own safety and that of Victoire if they were to be looking for a flat together. Remus had lost his parents in the first war because of his own involvement. He wouldn't risk Ted in a new one without making sure his son had every protection Remus could provide.
Arriving at the flatblock, Remus made his way through the building and up to Ted's door, where he knocked once to announce himself before waiting patiently to be let it.
