Meretricious | Professor Lupin

142. Outside of the order

They were laying down on her bed, their two week vacation slowly coming to an end.

Spencer and Harry were reading their respective books, when suddenly in exasperation, he set it down.

"You okay?" she asked, not taking her eyes off of her book.

"Yeah" he nodded.

"Come on Jamie, you know we don't lie" she closed it before placing it on her bedside table.

She turned her body, now facing him.

"I don't want to go back" Harry admitted in a whisper.

"I know," she brought him closer, kissing his head, "I don't want you to go either."

"Why can't I just stay here with you?"

"I don't know Jamie" she answered honestly. "I wish I could tell you."

He nodded sadly.

"But you're not leaving tomorrow kiddo, don't be sad" she ran her hand through his hair.

"I don't want to go back with them" he whispered.

"I know" she sighed. "I'm sorry, I really did try."

He shook his head, "I know you did."

"What's something you want to do before you leave? It can be anything" she asked.

"Mason mentioned there was a lake nearby, could we go there?"

"Yeah, totally" she nodded.

"You're not dressed?" Andrew asked as he came into her bedroom.

"For?"

"You know... the thing."

"The thing?"

Andrew looked over at Harry, "the thing. The thing thing."

"The thing..." Spencer thought. "Oh! The thing."

"What thing?" Harry asked.

"We're doing couples pilates" Spencer answered quickly.

"Yes... not to be confused with yoga" Andrew pointed.

"Couples?" Harry asked.

"It was the only class available" she nodded. "We'll be back soon, kay? Don't throw any ragers while we're gone" she got out of bed.

"Won't make any promises" he chuckled.

Spencer looked into her closet, trying to find something to wear.

"Are you not going to eat breakfast?" Harry asked.

"No, when I come back we can though. Unless you're already hungry" she took her shirt off and put on another.

"No, I'll wait for you guys. Andrew, are you coming to the lake with us later?"

"Who's going?" he asked.

"He's going Harry" Spencer answered. "Come, let's go" she dragged Andrew out. "Later Jamie!"

She could hear him chuckle as they apparated out of their apartment.

They arrived at Sirius' backyard, then walked inside and down to the basement.

Spencer stopped in place as she saw Remus' back.

"I thought you said this was Kingsley's session" she whispered to Andrew as she saw him talk to someone.

Andrew cleared his throat, "it was."

Moody came in through the door, as he noticed her he walked up to them.

"Nice to see you took my advice."
