Characters: Remus Lupin, Theodore Nott Date: July 10, 1999 Location: Order Safe House Rating: G Summary: Remus meets Theodore and has a chat. Status: Complete
Remus had to hand it to Sirius, he was being remarkably patient. The plans for the raid in which they were to attempt to save Dori were taking longer than Sirius probably would have liked, and it impressed Remus to see him take it so well. Raids normally took a bit of a time to plan, partly due to the heightened security in the work camps that always followed, but Remus wanted to see if he couldn't at least gather some information in the meantime.
He had warned Sirius beforehand that he would be late for work; he didn't quite disclose the reason, but he headed towards the safe house, electing to see if there wasn't anything useful in the library that hadn't been uncovered yet. His first stop, however, was the kitchen; it was an unusually chilly morning, and he wanted to drink some tea as he searched.
Upon entering the kitchen, however, he discovered he was not alone; a young man was already there, preparing his own cup of tea. Remus didn't recognize him; perhaps he was one of the wizards saved from the work camps? He vaguely remembered Sirius's suggestion about talking to one of them about plans, and his suspicion towards one of them. He wished his thoughts were clearer in the morning.
"Good morning," he said as he entered, offering a small smile. "I didn't expect to see anyone else here so early."
