Chapter Seven

"I'm surprised you actually figured it out. Must of used up a lot of brain cells to realize that werewolves are human too." Both Harry and Malfoy snorted at the statement.

"Wouldn't take much to figure it out don't you think." Harry said sardonically.

Malfoy looked around nervously questioning if he should run and never come back. Remus smiled "Relax, you two are safe here. No one is going to harm you both."

He walked towards the back towards the kitchen with the teens in tow. The kitchen was brighter. The walls were painted a warm white. Two others were also present while one was dicing vegetables the other was pulling something out of the oven. Remus was leaning against an empty countertop. "Do we look ferocious and uncontrollable to you?"

"N-no. I mean it is what the Ministry says about you. Isn't it." This was Harry's first time hearing Malfoy stutter. He couldn't help it, Harry snickered causing Malfoy to give him a scathing look that only half-promised revenge which inturn caused Harry to snicker more.

"I still don't get how it's still illegal. I mean, it's just a diner." Remus sighed and looked at Harry, then his forehead and back to his eyes.

"Where is your scar?"

"Umm, I hid it, with concealor."

To which Remus only raised an smiled. "Impressive."

"Don't think we're letting the topic drop. I still don't understand how it's illegal." Harry said.

"The Ministry passed a law on werewolves." Malfoy looked up at Remus, his silver eyes alight with realization.

"Surely you don't mean..."

"Yes." Was his only answer.

"I'm not following." Harry stated confused.

"Well, the Ministry recently passed a law on werewolves by order of Undersecretary Umbridge. I don't know what it states exactly but it has something to do with werewolves."

"And how do you know this?" At Harry's question Malfoy only scoffed, "Well father is part of the Wizemgamot. He tells me things."

"Well we now know who the Daddy's boy award goes too." Harry said snickering once more. Malfoy turned a light shade of pink before glaring at Harry. Remus watched them amused.

"You guys must be close friends. You remind me of people I used to know." He asked chuckling slightly. 'Used too' was emphasized. Harry head swiftly turned around and looked at Remus.

"Us, friends. Never ever in a billion years." He stated. This was a one time thing cause they were both bored. Nothing less, nothing more.

"Aww come on Potty. You wound me." Malfoy exclaimed dramatically with a hand over his heart. Harry pointed a finger at Malfoy," You shut it. Otherwise I will dye your hair Weasley red." Malfoy looked at Harry bewildered.

"You wouldn't."

"I would." They were currently glaring at each other. Remus watched their conversation, eyes moving back and forth. They seem close enough to be friends.. Shame though. Remus thought but was cut out of his musings when Malfoy asked him,

"What is your name?" Remus eyes shot to look at the pale blonde. "Remus Lupin."

Malfoy snickered. "What's so funny?" Harry asked. This was a change.

"Remus Lupin can loosely be translated to Werewolf McWerewolf." Remus shot Malfoy a scathing look. He did not like where this was going.

"Seriously?" Harry asked a grin making its way onto his face.
