His dreams were filled with warmth and light Harry smiling and calling his name whole and well fed, Dudley stood with the boy slim and healthy smiling and laughing at his cousin, And Petunia lovely in a lavender dress hugging her slim figure her curves more defined her lovely blond hair sparkled in the sunlight and her pale blue eyes were filled with joy and no longer haunted. He jerked himself awake his body hot and heavy it had been years since he had a pleasant dream, It had even turned rather sexual in nature as he focused solely on the woman.
His stiff body protested his aching need for release, again it had been years since he had even felt the need or even attraction towards any woman. He groaned rubbing his face over and over trying to stop the pictures running in his head Mooney was enjoying his discomfort he ignored the wolf. He got up cast a quick ' Tempus' he saw it was close to ten in the morning. He needed to get Severus and check the wards on the manor, he cast freshening. spells on his clothes he made his way to the castle Severus was waiting for him at the entrance holding something that was quickly thrust in his hands.
A grey button down shirt and black pants, Remus blinked up at the potions master.
"Cant let a woman see you is the same outfit twice we are about the same size just take them and don't get the rest of your wardrobe from wherever you have it stashed If i know Petunia and I do she will be dressing you when you go shopping you will have new clothes ." Severus said waving the werewolf and standing to the side and letting Remus change in the nearest room across from the Great hall . He made a quick job of changing he incinerated his old clothes Severus's generous gesture was well meant and showed the other man how willing he was to start fresh. Remus rejoined the potions master he nodded approvingly at the redressed man Severus had been correct they were closely the same in builds the shirt was a bit tight as Remus was a bit wider in the chest but not noticeably so.
"Thank you Severus shall we get to the Manor the sooner we get there the sooner we get back."He gave the dour man a smile he got a nod in return. They walked down the lawn silent and exited Hogwarts grounds were Severus touched the portkey Remus wore on his finger. Remus spoke the activation 'To the keep' it sent them both spinning to the manor.
A large stone house in a warm red brick gleamed in the sun it was sat on a large spans of land, surrounded by a large fence the smell had Remus walking closer to the house.
"Looks like the fence has several Silver fixtures mainly around the outside to defend from werewolf attack, It will also keep me within the bounds on the manor. It wont hurt me as long as I don't touch it." He nodded and Severus stepped closer to the fence checking the wards waving his wand over the boundaries thoroughly checking the fence. Remus approached the house spelling the outside from Werewolf in fur the downside of the spell was that it would allow werewolf's in as long as they were in human form but it would hold up from Mooney trying to get in.
"Looks like the wards are almost on par with Hogwarts I'd say take the step and do Fidelius Charm Make you the keeper I'll help with the spell we will put in safety protocols as well if you need to make an escape I happen to have a Vanishing cabinet set better for escape then standard floo or Portkey. We will leave one here find a safe place for it and the other can sit in my private quarters no one is allowed in them I keep them on lock down." Severus offered.
"Yes as many protections as we can put on it the better I say we put it on Fidelius the moment we move them here. The Cabinet is a wonderful idea I agree much safer way to travel. Let's see how bad the inside is." Remus agreed pushing the front door open they stepped in the manor slowly wands ready the lights sprang on as they entered and saw a clean entryway tables, paintings, large grandfather clock all gleamed clean and shiny. A large pop in front of them revealed a small female house elf.
"Master Remus." She squeaked happily wringing her hands blinking at the men.
"Fauna holy Merlin your alive! I can't believe it." Remus gasped at the old elf he thought had died with Harry's grandmother.
"Mistress Dorea forbade Fauna from going to Master James She ordered me to live and serve Master Harry. So here I is ready to Serve for you Master Remus as Steward of the House of Potter on behalf of Master Harry." Fauna bowed to Remus once again and smiled.
"Wonderful Fauna the House needs to be made ready Harry is coming home in a few days I need rooms made up, his aunt and cousin will join him here. Are you the only House elf left?" Remus asked.
"The house is ready to receive her Master and Miss Lilly's sister and her son, the guest house is also ready as is the greenhouse. I is the last house elf bonded to the house of Potter." The elf explained
"Well that makes this trip over I'm pleased that you have kept the house so well please pick out rooms close to one another so Petunia can be close to the children in case they need her. I expect you to keep me appraised of the house workings should you find the up keep to much for you yourself alone you will inform me at once. I would also like to have a room as a play room for the boys, a study room, and a office where I can go over the estate and a room for Petunia to have whatever she would like to to function for I expect you to get with her next week when they have settled in." Remus anticipated the needs of the small family.
"As you wish Master Remus I will make everything ready." Fauna smiled and popped away to do as she was asked.
"Well that was easier then we expected." Severus dead panned raising one eyebrow perfectly.
"Yes much quicker then we thought I can take Petunia shopping today and not tomorrow I'm sure she'll be pleased." Remus added turning with Severus and making their way to the gate and outside the warding they quickly Apperated back to Hogwarts.
