Summary: Ah, sweet summer with Remus. This is an entry in Flourish’s challenge for Decmber 2000. It didn’t win.

Summer with Remus By: JK

The Lupins were very surprised when I turned up on their doorstep with Remus. I don’t think they expected Merlin Talisen to be a girl in a tight linen dress.

They seem the sort to appreciate good music. Maybe I could play them my tune about darling Remus. I wonder if they noticed that his transformations were quieter with me there, or did they not see the hawk flying past their window at dawn?

It was the best summer I’ve ever had - long days with Remus, learning his unique style of horticulture.

But maybe I shouldn’t have worn that dress...
