Where: Marauders Flat Who: @vclatiles
Remus scoffed at the paper, the ‘Ask Rita’ section particularly wild this morning. Did people have nothing better to do than write in about other people? And why had he suddenly appeared on people’s radar? He tried to stay out of the limelight, never wanting anyone to pay too close of attention to his comings and goings for fear they might discover something. Poor Mary, her name seemed to be dragged through the mud several times, wondering what she had done to inspire Rita to pair her off with so many possible suitors James included as well as eluding to some possibly shady behaviour. He shook his head tossing the paper aside with a sigh. They had, had their little group at Hogwarts but the fascination with them seemed to have continued outside of its walls though he couldn’t fathom why. At least with himself, his other friends were interesting and had many accomplishments but he always kept to the shadows and had nothing akin to an exciting career or opportunity to rise through the ranks. He was unable to have such a career with his illness.
A knock sounded at the door and he walked over to it curiously, not having been expecting anyone. James and Sirius weren’t home so he doubted it was for them unless someone hadn’t owled ahead to check for them. When he opened the door he was surprised to find Mary, the very one he had been thinking of, one of the others whose names had appeared in the column. “I guess you saw the paper as well then?” he asked a smile appearing on his lips still confounded about how he’d found himself in this situation. “Must really be nothing left to gossip about if she’s dusting off the cobwebs of my love life,” he chuckled ushering Mary inside.
