[HP] Alchemy and Love

"I'm a werewolf," Remus replied.

"You know I don't care about this." Lorenthia said, raising her head from Remus's shoulder, and stepped back somewhat reluctantly, meeting his eyes, "Do you like me?"

"That's beside the point," Remus said, looking down to avoid her gaze. "I'm a werewolf...it's too dangerous. Your family will worry, and neither should you...you deserve better."

"But I've never met anyone better than you." Lorenthia said softly. "You're not in danger either—could there be a more dangerous situation than the one we're in? It doesn't matter!"

Remus shook his head. "I'm sorry, Loren." He said with difficulty, "I—I can't be so irresponsible."

Lorenthia opened her mouth, but said nothing.She slowly withdrew her hand, feeling the strong disappointment and shame that almost turned into real pain, making her breathless, "Actually," she said, trying to maintain a steady voice, but no matter what I couldn't suppress the slight trembling and crying, "Actually you—you don't have to be so euphemistic—I mean, I'm sorry, if you don't really like me..."

At the end, she felt that her voice had changed, and hastily interrupted the sentence, turned her head away, and opened her eyes wide to hold back the tears in her eyes.But just when she was about to reach out and wipe her eyes quickly, her hands were caught suddenly.

"No! I'm sorry—that's not what I meant!" Remus said eagerly. Lorenthia turned her head, not daring to look at him. "I...I like you, Loren."

"Really?" Lorenthia lowered her head and asked.She couldn't help blinking, and two big tears fell on the robe, and Remus squeezed her hand with trembling hands, "Really," he said, the tenderness in his voice couldn't be more clear. More or more pain, "I've always liked you a long time ago."

Lorenthia finally raised her head, with tears in her eyes, but an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Really?" She stared at Remus and asked again.Remus didn't answer, he pulled Lorenzia forward, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Lorenthia put her face on his shoulder again.At another time she would have been delighted and excited about it, but at the moment she was too tired to mobilize such intense emotion again.She didn't feel ecstasy.She just lay quietly in Remus' arms, feeling happy and content.

She wasn't so naive as to think that mutual admiration between two people would be enough to solve all problems—judging from Remus's answer, there were still many problems to be solved.But at this moment, she doesn't care about other things.Lorenthia bowed her head and kissed the hand that Remus was holding her, and sighed happily.

When Lorenthia woke up in bed the next day, it was already daylight.

She sat up in bed, feeling dizzy and lethargic from too much sleep, before realizing she was fully clothed except for a blanket.She stared blankly at her attire for a moment, before the memory of the day before came back to her mind - she was too tired after going through all kinds of things all night, and finally being taken aback by Remus, Unknowingly fell asleep while leaning on Remus' body.It seemed that it was Remus who brought her to the bed and put a blanket on her.

Thinking of Remus, she recalled the conversation between the two of them the night before, and Lorenthia smiled unconsciously. She recalled Remus's two confessions, and stretched out her fingers to rub her forehead, remembering That light and gentle kiss was in a daze, until she was interrupted by a burst of laughter, and she realized that she had actually laughed out loud without knowing it.

The previous fatigue was swept away immediately, she jumped out of bed energetically, and took two steps towards the door, only to find that she was blocked by a soft force, as if there was an invisible soft wall blocking her— — Lorenthia's house was surrounded by heavy protective spells, but her bedroom was not so much protected. This must be the spell left by Remus.

She couldn't help but smiled sweetly again.Reaching into her pocket, she found that the wand was no longer in it, so she turned around and found it by the pillow.There was also a note under the wand, in Remus' handwriting:

Loren:

I don't think it's convenient for me to stay here overnight, and the task assigned to me by Dumbledore must be done as soon as possible, please forgive me for leaving first.If you need help tidying up your shop, please feel free to contact me.

Remus

ps Please report me safe when you wake up.

While reading, Lorenthia couldn't help covering her cheeks with her hands.There wasn't anything particularly intimate in the note, but it was a pillow note, which made the words look different, and she felt shy and happy at the same time.After reading it several times, she carefully put the note in her pocket, waved her wand and dispelled several protective spells around her - laughing every time one was dispelled.Then she clutched her wand in her hand and walked out of the room.

After washing and changing, she sent a message to Remus via the summons card, and asked Lily about Regulus' situation.And, of course, Newt and Tina—but they didn't have to go through summons cards.She took out a two-way mirror and called out to the mirror, "Newt Scamander!"

Almost immediately, Newt's face was reflected in the mirror. "Loren!" He seemed relieved, but before he could say a second sentence, Tina snatched the mirror over: "Loren, what happened yesterday? You were really killed by Death Eaters. Attacked?"

Lorencia immediately felt guilty: she did not explain to them the first time last night, it was indeed too thoughtless, and a brief report of safety obviously could not reassure them.Moreover, Newt and Tina had obviously been waiting for news from her, but did not take the initiative to contact her, probably because they were worried that the sudden summons from the double-sided mirror would cause inconvenience to her. Their thoughtfulness made her feel even more uneasy. up. "No, that was just a misunderstanding—sorry for worrying you." She said hastily, "Later we found out that the person was not malicious..."

She paused, thinking about how to explain it. After all, she had promised Dumbledore that what happened last night would not be spread, "That was actually—a person who opposed Voldemort. Although he was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Deng Bullido thought maybe we could work with him."

Newt squeezed back in front of the mirror, "Professor Dumbledore already knows about this?"

"He—yes, I promised Professor Dumbledore not to say more details." Lorenthia said with some apology. After all, she had hardly encountered anything that she couldn't tell Newt before, " I think the principal will take care of that."

Tina still looked suspicious, but Newt shrugged and stopped asking, "If Dumbledore said so."

Tina asked a few questions worriedly, but Lorenzia just looked at her pitifully and apologetically, and she was determined not to let go. In the end, she had no choice but to compromise: "Forget it, as long as you are safe."

This topic came to an end, Lorenzia hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help thinking about what happened last night. She really wanted to find someone to share her happiness with, but she wanted to tell Newt and Tina that they were equivalent to her Are grandparents...?She hesitated again.She had never been in a relationship before, and she had never even been tempted by a boy, but she instinctively felt that this was a more private matter that seemed inappropriate to reveal to her parents.

Her slight hesitation was quickly captured by Tina: "Is there anything else?"

Lorenthia blinked, but decided not to talk about it. After all, it wasn't that her relationship with Remus had changed significantly, "It's nothing. I'll clean up the store later. You guys How is it? Are the animals okay?"

After chatting for a while, she ended the call and looked at the communication card again. Lily replied that Regulus was still awake, and that Madam Pomfrey had come over this morning to give him another round of treatment.After breakfast, she went to the alchemy shop.

I walked in a hurry last night, and the store was still the same as it was when James and Sirius broke in. Several shelves were down, and items were piled all over the floor.Shelves and dropped items can be easily restored to their original state with a single spell, but magic items are different. Damaged magic items are not like ordinary utensils, and cannot be repaired by restoring them. This is the most troublesome job.

Fortunately, there was no real fight last night. After careful counting, Lorenthia found that the loss was not too great. The profit from the two items Regulus bought was enough to offset the loss, and there was still a surplus.A few mirrors that were too shattered to be repaired were thrown away, and other slightly damaged shipments she collected and took to the back lab for repair.

Naturally, it has not been able to open for a few days.In the laboratory, Lorenthia found that she couldn't focus as much as before, and her gaze flicked to Remus's usual seat from time to time, which was of course empty now.She couldn't help wondering: who exactly was Dumbledore sending him to?What does it have to do with Horcruxes?Will it be dangerous?When will he... come back?

The whole noon and afternoon passed at a painfully slow speed, and when the sun had already started to sink, Lorenzia finally heard footsteps outside the laboratory, and Remus' voice asked outside the door: "Lore Len?"

Lorenthia almost jumped up.She hastily put aside the amulet pendant she was repairing, and hurried over to open the door, but stopped at the door: "When we first met, what was your interview question?" She asked through the door road.

"A small table for afternoon tea, with butterflies on the table," Remus replied.Lorenthia opened the door and smiled brightly at Remus: "Are you back?"

Remus smiled at her too, "How was your day?"

"I'm fine. How about you? Did the mission Dumbledore gave you go well?"

"I think it's going well," Remus said. "I just got back from James and Lily's and Regulus woke up."
