Remus Lupin was hungover. Or really, he was so sick he wasn’t sure still remembered a time before the sour, sinking pit welled up in his stomach. Certainly not a time when every room in his flat wasn’t spinning. The young werewolf groaned, loudly, bringing a hand above his eyes as he squinted in the bright white light of winter. He was wearily reaching into his robe pockets, fishing out a pair of sunglasses when it happened. 

“Sorry, mate.” He mumbled, crashing into another body and sending the spectacles skittering across the street. “Didn’t see you there.” Then, with a slight heave, a flash of pain flickering over his features. “Or, really, I think I saw two of you.” 

emmeline had rather quickly made the decision she was staying home from the party and it’s following festivities. the sting of losing her job was still there, and she wasn’t ready to go back to or even being around the ministry just yet. as much as she’d that didn’t mean she could just hide away in her flat, no matter how badly she wanted to. 

it had only taken about ten minutes before her first inclination about staying inside and proven true. admittedly she hadn’t been paying close enough attention either as she hadn’t seen him before the collision sent her to the ground. “it’s fine.” she huffed a bit, but at least he’d apologized. “long night then yeah?” she questioned.

He nodded at her question, not that he felt like he was being much help, though he had been told by his trainee Aurors the best thing he could do was help out local businesses.  “Alright, I can do that.”   Smiling slightly, as he took the broom from her.   “An Auror yeah… in training.  Not that I’ve had the chance to do much yet though.”

her response was a thoughtful hum, and nod of her head before turning her attention to sweeping up the remaining glass on the floor near her. the silence gave the a moment to think about how the shop had looked when she’d come to it. to think she gotten so caught up in her own anger that she’d been willing to sacrifice everything to get back at  someone who probably didn’t know she existed. “perhaps it’s for the best. there is not lack of bad people in the world. i’m sure your time will come.” enough of the silence emmeline had plenty of time to lament later. “so ted tonks, now that you’re out in the adult world how do you fill your time when you’re not being savior of the people? i can’t imagine you’d take up community service as a hobby.”

He smiled and nodded upon hearing his own name, although he was getting the impression it was more of a statement than a question.  There were so Ravenclaws that he sometimes struggled to understand, even whilst in a house with them.  Although, fundamentally he always seemed to click with them in the long run, most of them anyway. It was usually just that his thoughts were alot more scattered than most.    A smile tugged at his lips and he laughed softly.  “Something like that, or at least I’d like to be.  I wasn’t here to help  defend…”  Trailing off with a regrettable sigh, he cleared his throat.  “Least I can do is help with all this…”

emmeline handed the him a broom that been laying against the wall. “if you want to help me finish sweeping up that essentially all that’s left. you’re lucky the old man is lazy and the merchandise will restock itself.” ah, it was guilt then? she wouldn’t fault him for that, a lot of people felt that way right now. hell she did, and there were far worse to deal with that than manual labor.  “you’re an auror or something then, yeah?” she wouldn’t project her own issues on him, but she understood feeling that you’re supposed to be protector and things not going that way.

“what the hell did you do?”

the moment she’d arrived at work she’d been ushered into her bosses office and the door immediately sound proofed. it didn’t sound like an accusation, more than anything he sounded defeated, and weathered down. in all fairness emmeline hadn’t exactly followed direct orders, but she’d had good reason. in that moment she wasn’t sure if the powers that be were smiling on her or if she’d just gotten lucky. they’d been sent to protect gringotts, but she’d seen the flash of masks & cloaks and decided that was more important. 

“i don’t know what is going on with you kid, but i can’t protect you if you don’t tell me the truth.”

had she she gone in a little hard? that would depend on who was answering. it would be a lie to she hadn’t hoped one of the figures under those robes was her father. but that hadn’t caught anymore, and that was the auror’s included. ultimately they lessened the attack on st. mungo’s and she stood by her action. but nonetheless, his voice cracked when he instructed her to a meeting upstairs. and that made her nervous, because there had been rumors of what would come as a response to the negative perception of the ministry response. and shit tended to roll downhill. 

emmeline couldn’t help but roll her eyes whens he read the name plate on the office door. they’d all heard about when old man crouch moved is kid in, but that was ridiculous to say the least. “good ole pureblood nepotism”. she muttered under breath as knocked on the door.

Ted nodded as she spoke, it took him a moment to place her.  Hogwarts obviously, but what with everything that was going on, he was even more scatter brained that usual.  Tilting his head slightly, a half smile tugged at his lips.  “Ravenclaw right?  I think the year above me.   I’am absolutely shocking with names though.”   Shaking his head, mostly at himself.  He wasn’t necessarily a stereotypical Ravenclaw, although he was smarter than people gave him credit for, usually because he couldn’t always get across what he was thinking, which for a while came out as anger.  His parents had several words for it;  dyspraxia was one, or was it dyslexia?  -  but with them being muggles, he didn’t always pay attention to what they had to say when it was about his health.  Which probably wasn’t clever.   Scratching his head, his smile still in place, he shrugged.  “Extra pair of hands is always useful right?”

“emmeline.” she replied offer a hand in formal introduction. remembering names however was emmeline’s thing. it was like her mind was the most efficient filing system ever created. people bumped into once at a bar where recalled as quickly as lifelong friends. “ted tonks, correct?” her desire for information just for the sake of having it was what landed her in ravenclaw to begin with. she could only imagine what a terror she must have been for her teachers, always having the answers and none of the assignments. “fair enough. are you some sort of disaster recovery fairy?”

Should Ted be at work?  Probably, although when it came to comforting those who had been affected by the attacks, he seemed to be at a major loss as to what to actually say to them.  He daren’t say it aloud, because he knew how people would look at him, but he was gutted that he had missed it, missed out on an opportunity to show that he wasn’t afraid.   So instead, he had taken to wandering around Diagon Alley, asking local shops if he could help them with anything.  He’d have done the same at the ministry, but he didn’t want to go in there quite yet.   “Oh hey, d’ya need a hand with anything?”  

emmeline had been in a mood since the attack. she just couldn’t get over the fact that they’d all be caught by surprise like this. there were entire department dedicated to stopping this sort of thing, and they’d all failed. could it have been worse? absolutely. but two innocent lives lost was exactly two too many in the witches eyes. then there was the under lying fear because they’d gone after people like her. but she’d push that into the background choosing to stick with the stoic anger that better served her for the moment. “oh i don’t run the place, the old man���s out back.” emmeline has been coming here since she was a child. the shop owner was almost like a grandfather to her. which is why she’d come to check on him, but in true fashion he’d charmed a few things to do the heavy lifting for him.

BIOGRAPHY:

emmeline is the product of a love affair between a high society pureblood wizard and muggle born witch. they were never meant to be, as despite continually professing his love to her mother, her father abandoned them for the life he was born for. 

after an attempt on her life while she was pregnant emmeline’s mother moved to the french countryside, and after changing her name went to work for the french ministry. 

despite being lonely her childhood was a rather comfortable one. 

when it was time for her to start school despite their french residency her mother opted to send her back to hogwarts hoping she’d be safe now. 

the first few months were rocky as she wasn’t used to that level of noise, and human interaction. but quickly made friendship through quidditch and her classes. 

not long after her graduation she was approached by and ultimately joined the order. 

emmeline had every intention of becoming an auror after she graduated, and had the marks to do so. but ultimately couldn’t picture herself doing desk work, and prefers what she is doing now. 

CURRENT/CLIFF NOTES:

emmeline has a huge chip on her shoulder about how she has been treated due to her blood status, and that manifest itself in her desire to the most skilled person in the room. and though she keeps in mostly to herself she spending most of her free time spell creating, and working on wandless magic.

when she was in her sixth year at hogwarts emmeline found out who her father was, and that she was going to school with her half siblings. she hadn’t approached them or told her mother she knows. but is very bitter about the difference in her life and theirs. 

while she obviously keep this to herself a huge part of the reason she does the type of work she does is in the hopes one she’ll be the one to take her father down.
