He paused his steps at her name. Greengrass. He knew the name, he knew they were one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. This whole situation felt even more suspicious to him, but then again, one of his best friends had come from one of those families. Maybe she didn’t care about purity, maybe she was trying to get out of it, like Sirius had. But then why would she be looking for him? The least he could do was give her a chance. “Nice to meet you, too. My apartment is just over here.” He gestured as he began walking back home. It only took them a few seconds before they were walking back up the stairs and he opened the door, letting her enter. “Don’t mind the mess.” Remus chuckled softly. It certainly wasn’t the worst condition the apartment had ever been in, but wasn’t the best, either. “Is this a conversation that warrants a cup of tea?”

The blonde stood looking at the quaint little flat. It wasn’t much better then Dagmer’s had been before she’d arrived, but Elise chose to attribute that to the fact that there was two bachelors living here rather then any negative connotation.  She began to pull at the ribbon of her soaked cloak while her brown eyes continued to scan the surroundings. “If you fancy”, she mumbled looking for any signs of the roommate. “Is the Black boy here”, the wolf asked peering around the nearest doorway.

[elise-greengrass]

greyback-fenrir​:

“No. It would not be easier. What makes you think you’d be able to sneak past the others? Are you so egotistical you think you could sneak into the village without anyone in the entire pack noticing? You know we patrol, and you have no right to be there anymore.” Fenrir wasn’t entirely sure how the others would actually react. If she were some stranger she knew for a fact that they would attack but the slight of Elise could either cause them to go easy, or the complete opposite and kill her on the spot. While she hadn’t been there long, her leaving was still upsetting for many and seen as a betrayal. Much better if he return and fetch it for her. 

“Well that time has past Elise, and I think you know that. I will get it back myself. Do you trust me on that?”

x

“How can I trust someone who’s killed children!” As soon as the words came out Elise wished she could snatch them out of the air and shove them back down her throat. But it was too late, and the real reason she’d severed things with him. With a huff from her nose Elise stared right into Fenrir’s eyes, this time not backing down like she had before. He could take it as a challenge if he really wanted, in her own way it was. A challenge of his flawed judgement.

Remus sighed slightly, ruffling his hair as he glanced around. He was supposed to go to the shop, but how could he say no to someone asking him for help? She seemed genuine, but he supposed only time would tell. Glancing over his shoulder at the direction of the shop, he let out a huff of air before nodding his head, deciding he didn’t really want to go, not in the rain. “Yeah, alright.” He agreed, taking a few steps towards her, “One condition - tell me your name first.”

x

There was a small wave of relief that washed over her. The boy was kinder then she’d imagined, but that could have been a wolf’s tarnished reputation thanks to Dagmer. Giving him the tiniest grin, the blonde unwrapped her hand from the handle of her wand to produce it as a sign of good faith. “I’m Elise Greengrass. It’s good to finally me you, Remus.”

[elise-greengrass]

lvpinremvs​:

She needed help? She didn’t even know him, yet she was asking for his help? Remus couldn’t help his skepticism, wondering if this was perhaps some weird set up. The distressed woman was a distraction, while someone or something more threatening was waiting for him to let his guard down. But what if she was telling the truth? He’d feel terrible if he turned her away, only to find out something awful had happened to her. Something he could have helped prevent. He sighed, turning to her fully, but his hand still hovered over where his wand was placed in his pocket. “Yes, that’s correct.” Remus nodded. “How can I be of service?”

x

Looking around, Elise didn’t see any others lurking in the shadows, however she didn’t feel comfortable just spilling her darkest secret out in the open. This plan was defiantly uncharacteristically poorly planned. Blame the moon and the ticking timebomb that it was. Licking her lips the blonde sighed. “Could we perhaps go to someplace more private?”

[elise-greengrass]

thestrangerabastan​:

          He laughed at the automatic hug. Rabastan couldn’t say he wasn’t a hug person. Well, most people around him weren’t really big huggers anyway, so Elise’s were always welcome even though he did not believe that they could rub off on him to turn him onto a hugger per se. It wasn’t in his system to have that as a greeting at all, although he was welcomed to it. That all to say, he wasn’t opposed to them, not at all. “Well, it is a newer development. I’m staying this time, though. Moved all my stuff and all, even sold the old flat back there.” 

x

It was good to see an old friend, one that brought a smile to her face instead of fill her with anxiety. The blonde’s smile grew wider, a feat barely possible. “I’m so glad”, she exclaimed, giving him one more hug. This time a shorter one. “It was dreadfully dull around here without you. No one to keep out of trouble.”

[elise-greengrass]

dxrcasxmeadxwes​:

‘ Mine? No, I’m just shocked I thought I held the world record of being able to stare at one thing the longest. ‘ She started, not really taking in account what could actually be bothering the girl at this point. ‘ I mean I walked into a shop, looked around, checked out and was still able to find you here. Just staring. ‘ Dorcas finally finished, allowing herself to take a breath and tilt her head to the side. ‘ That just doesn’t seem to fine to me. ‘ 

x

Had he really been standing there so long? “Oh”, she mumbled realizing her reminiscing had lasted so long. Time flies when revisiting happier times. Still the blonde smiled, playing it off casually. “I guess I could have been sleeping standing up”, Elise joked. “People have been known to do that.”

[elise-greengrass]

lvciusxmalfoy​:

While usually coming off as callous and cruel, Lucius always had a special place in his heart that he could just- annoy. It was like being a kid again, being able to push buttons without trying to terribly hard, just say a few things and rock on your heels. ‘ Well you see Elise, I live here, in London, so it only makes sense that I buy things here, ya? Small businesses to help maintain and such.’ It took everything in the man not to roll his eyes at the last comment, but, low blows were only to be expected. ‘ It isn’t chasing anything when I’m simply keep relationships with these people. I understand its different for you though, being excluded from such conversations now. How ya holding up? ‘ At this point he felt more like Cissa talking to someone who was holding a conversation for much too long. Too catty- too aware that they were at one point on the same scale. ‘ Look, you’re being the center of attention standing in the middle of the street- don’t try to get pissy at me because I didn’t want you trampled. ‘ 

x

I did at her family drama was to be expected. Of course, seeing as it was Malfoy she was speaking too. Still. The wound wasn’t entirely healed. Swallowing the hurt and resentment bubbling inside from his statement her attention was peaked by what followed. “Out of everyone, why on earth, would you care if I was ran over?”

[elise-greengrass]

greyback-fenrir​:

Family was important to Fenrir. It wasn’t like he remembered his biological parents, he’d been bitten and taken from them at such a young age, but he had no real desire to go seek them out. His family had always been the pack. He understood her desire to get the necklace belonging to her mother, he’d feel the same if someone had an object belonging to one of his family members that he’d lost. “He respects me, that’s why I think he’ll give it over. But perhaps he doesn’t respect me quite as much as he wishes to get back at you.”

He sighed. He had been meaning to travel back up soon anyway. Wouldn’t hurt to talk to Dagmer face-to-face about the issue. “I’ll get it back for you. He shouldn’t be trying to lure you back now anyway. I’ll make him see sense.”

x

Fenrir sure underestimated the rational of her Dagmer. She fought the urge to roll her eyes again. If only he knew how the man really felt about him. It had became quite the drama between the two, Elise and her apparent father, when she’d started her romantic rendezvous with the older wolf. It was natural for a dad to show concern for his daughter when dating, citing her best interests. But to Dagmer her feelings for Fenrir were treason. It was her going against Jarsyd, one of his closest friends, and crawling in bed with the usurper.

Heaving a sigh, the blonde pinched the bridge of her nose again. A sign that she was stressed or irritated. “It would just be easier if I snuck in and snuck out”, she said dropping her hand. “There was a time when you trusted me and my judgement you know.”

[elise-greengrass]

gideonprewctt​:

“And that’s to being so bad a thing?” Gideon hadn’t noticed who was speaking to until she’d answered, but the smile returned to his face after only a second of pause. He turned to her with the knife in his hand and asked in a playful sort of tone, “or are you to telling me that you have no interest in throwing knives and such?”

x

Though Elise never took the whole blood status she did have a certain distain for muggle things. However, this was too good of an opportunity to surprise Fenrir, one she wasn’t about to pass up. Besides, she was sure it would come in handy at some point in time. Sucking her teeth, the blonde pretended to ponder her want to learn about it. “Well go on. Show me how.”

[elise-greengrass]

greyback-fenrir​:

Fenrir looked at her slightly stunned that she was asking for a secret entrance, as if he’d ever give her that information. Did she really think him so weak? “I would never give you that information Elise. If you didn’t know it when you were in the pack what makes you think you’d be allowed such privileged information now?” A secret entrance was exactly the kind of weak spot no one but he and the highest up knew about and even for Elise, Fenrir would never give that away. He didn’t trust her not to spill it, or for someone to somehow get it out of her. He knew he’d die to protect the pack but he doubted she would after she’d left. 

“What are you missing? I’ll owl Dagmer to send it back.” Fenrir had never liked Dagmer all that much but he didn’t want to interfere in Elise and her father’s complex relationship. He kept to the sidelines, he would send a letter. Maybe coming from him it would mean something.

x

His answer made the woman’s eyes roll. He had to spin it to make her the big bad wolf. Someone not to be trusted or was out to get the pack, when all she wanted was to distance herself as much as possible from them. There were good people in the pack, many of the kids that Fenrir had name dropped, and the last thing she wanted was hard to come to them. But for just as many good people there were monsters, nasty individuals who lied, manipulated, and trapped people into staying with a bite. Like her father.

“It’s my mother’s locket”, Elise barked, more irritated that he didn’t trust her then anything. The blonde fell silent for a second. “He suspected I was leaving, so he took it, knowing that it would make me come back. So what makes you think he’s just going to hand it on over to you?”

gideonprewctt​:

“No, no, it’s right. I’m telling you, it’s easy. Anybody could throw a knife and make it stick, you’ve just got to take the stuff into account while you’re doing it.” As he spoke, Gideon began to root through his messenger bag, looking for a knife. 

x

“It’s such a muggle thing though”, the blonde wined before placing her pint of beer back on the table. Sure, it was a muggle thing, but Elise couldn’t help but have her interest peaked by the idea. No doubt it was something Fenrir would be interested in it, and perhaps even impressed if she managed to successfully stick one into something.

where: outside of Remus’ apartment who: elise & @lvpinremvs​

Of course it had to be dreary and drizzling as she stood waiting for the werewolf boy. It was quite fitting for the mood, like she was some spider waiting for unsuspecting prey to enter her trap. Although the blonde had no intention on this being a trap, she did intend on it being an ambush of sorts. She needed him by himself, alone. Without his roommate’s prying ears. Just the thought of telling another person her deepest secret made her nauseous, even if it was an ailment they shared. She couldn’t risk the Black boy finding out. 

With a flash of lighting over head, Elise tugged the hood of her cloak down further to keep her face concealed. Come on, she growled to herself. You can’t stay hidden forever. You must leave sometime. And then, just when it seemed as if the lone wolf would never leave, the door opened casting a light out that illuminated the puddles on the street. Her heart began to race as the boy stepped out into the rain. Elise hadn’t thought too much of the possibilities of being shut out, what all could go wrong in practically cornering someone and laying her predicament at their feet. She was desperate, and this was her only real option. Slowly, the blonde followed him waiting until it was just the two of them before taking off her hood and calling out. “Lupin? Remus Lupin?”

-

Rainy days were always his favourite. It was a good excuse for him to stay curled up on the couch all day watching the telly. Not that he didn’t already do that almost daily, but at least he felt a little less bad about it when it was raining. Although he couldn’t sit around all day, Sirius was out with Emma, but he’d left a note and some galleons asking Remus to go out and pick up a few things for the house. He couldn’t refuse, considering he didn’t have a steady income to pay his share of the rent, or for anything in the house, he didn’t have any right to say no when Sirius asked him to do something. But it was raining, it was a lazy day, and Remus found he really didn’t have the motivation to do anything.

The sky was getting darker as the evening rolled around, Sirius would likely be getting back home soon and he knew he couldn’t put off his task any longer. So, with a huff, Remus finally pried himself off the couch and swiped the money from the counter, pulling his coziest jumper over his head before he took off towards the shop. He could have apparated, but it was only a short walk away and he liked the exercise, even if it was raining. Turning the corner, he had only taken a few steps before somebody called his name and he stopped in his tracks, slowly turning around to see who was trying to catch his attention.

“Who’s asking?” Remus called, his hand inching towards the pocket his wand was in. He didn’t recognize the voice, but it was definitely female. Hopefully an old classmate or something, he certainly wasn’t in the mood to duel in the middle of the street.

x

Well now what? Perhaps she hadn’t thought this all the way through, and it killed her to admit that. Noting how he reached towards his pocket, Elise herself wrapped her hand around her want that was concealed in the sleeve of her cloak. The action made her stomach drop. If he did say no, she wasn’t about to  Imperio him to force him. But after spilling her dark secret she would have to do something if he refused. The blonde took a few steps closer to him, weary of where his hand hovered. “I need your help”, she confessed, the words bitter. “You are Remus Lupin, yes?”

ruthless-bella​:

~

Druella Black was heavily involved with every point of gossip and scandal that revolved around their social circles, something that was not shared by Bella though when something as intense as Lysander Greengrass casting out his family, it was hard not to listen. It was a scandal that continued circling around the older women at every afternoon tea. So when Bella noticed a familiar woman being a blockage to other shoppers around Diagon Alley, she didn’t hold back approaching. “I said you were in my way,” She spoke harshly, eyes running over Elise as she silently judged the woman. “Long time no see, Greengrass.” Even if the brunette had been a few years older than the other woman, they ran in the same circles before everything came to light and now with Elise having sided with the Death Eaters, she knew they’d be crossing paths more often.

x

It was the familiarity of the voice that felt like nails on a chalkboard more then the tone and actual context, though those didn’t help either. Running into the eldest Black was just a matter of time considering she’s joined their favorite little movement, however Elise had hoped it would have been a little longer before she ran into Bella. Pinching her brows together as the woman gave her the up and down, the blonde bit her tongue knowing what was currently dancing on the tip of it would only lead to trouble. Taking a minute to recalculate her response the blonde spoke up. “Nice to see you again Bellatrix, though I’m a little surprised. I thought for sure Knockturn would be your favorite shopping destination.” It wasn’t a dig meant to insult, just a playful one. One Elise figured Bella of all people could appreciate. 

[elise-greengrass]

greyback-fenrir​:

He was pleasantly surprised to see her bowing her head, eyes on the ground. It wasn’t that he particularly cared about people showing submissiveness to him, but usually if they did it was because they respected his judgement and behind the scenes leadership of the pack. Fenrir was happy to operate just giving guidance to Jarsyd, but he knew to many he was seen as the actual leader, even when he was separated from them all these miles away. He was surprised Elise showed any caring for the structure of the group though, considering she’d left. 

He knew where her question would lead. She would be upset, he would cave and go and get whatever she wanted off Dagmer for her. Well fine. But he wasn’t going to offer, she’d have to ask.  “Dagmer is with the others. We haven’t moved since you left. Same village. I doubt you’ll be able to return, the enchantments will keep you out for one, but you’re not welcome there anymore either. I wouldn’t be surprised if they chased you out.”

x

Fuck, she thought to herself. Of course they had enchantments up that were going to repel her. There was a time when she even helped with them. But now, she was no longer part of their pack, which made her an intruder. Thank God she’d decided to see Fenrir before trying to just waltz back there. The blonde let out an exacerbated sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose as the situation turned from a difficult one to a nightmare. If it was anything other then her mother’s necklace Elise would have simply thrown in the towel, admitting whatever it was wasn’t worth the trouble but it was her mother’s necklace. The one thing she had left from her, aside from her looks. And Dagmer stole it, leaving a note taunting her in it’s place in her jewelry box.

Looking back up at the man, her arms fell back to her side in defeat. “Well there has to be something I can do. A-a back way? A secret escape route incase the village was attacked? A weak spot something.” She locked her wide eyes to his pleading which only brought back memories she’d tried to burry. “Anything.”
