Meretricious | Professor Lupin

45. Dinner

Her gaze turned to her phone, which sat on the dresser, once it rang.

Remus cleared his throat and stepped back.

"Hi" she spoke into the phone.

"Yeah give us a second" she nodded.

Remus smiled as she continued to speak.

"Mmh" she added. "Ok" she said before hanging up.

"He's here" she placed her phone down.

Remus walked toward her, holding her arms.

Spencer took a deep breath, holding him as well.

"You look very pretty" she whispered.

Remus kissed her forehead, "as do you my love" he whispered.

Spencer smiled, "let's go" she nodded.

"Marte- you look lovely" her grandfather spoke as she exited the car.
(Mars)

"Thanks" she smiled.

As they walked to the restaurant Remus opened the door for them, winking at Spencer. She blushed as she continued walking.

Her grandfather led them to a table and ordered their food. She didn't say anything about this, as she was trying to have a nice evening.

"So," he intertwined his own fingers, "how did you two meet" he asked.

"Spencer worked in a cafe during the summer and," Remus nodded, "noticed I had no idea what to order" he chuckled.

"She helped me and got off work- I thought I wouldn't see her again. Then I went for a walk at the beach and there she was... sleeping" he smiled.

"She thought I was some murderous stalker or something" Remus spoke, they all chuckled.

"Not a stalker... just a murderer" she piped in chuckling.

"And how do you see each other with her in school?" he asked before taking a sip from his wine.

"Remus works near my school" Spencer replied.

"And what do you do?"

"He owns a bookstore" Spencer answered.

"Ah- you're a book worm too" he chuckled.

"Guilty" Remus nodded awkwardly.

"So how is business?"

"Um- good yeah you know? Not much going on at the moment" he nodded.

"Right" he smiled.

"Yeah so during the weekends we go out... occasionally on a weekday" Spencer spoke.

"Mm" he nodded.

"Yep" she replied.

"So you can also do... magic?" he whispered the last part.

"Yes" Remus chuckled. "Though when we first met neither of us knew"

"But you knew her age" he asked absentmindedly.

Once he realized he looked up at Spencer, "Sorry- it just-"

"It's okay" she awkwardly nodded.

"Erm- no actually I didn't know how old she was. I actually told her that we couldn't see each other once I realized" he nodded.

"And now?" he asked.

"Well your granddaughter is very persistent" he chuckled.

"Here we are" a waitress said as she brought their food to the table.
