Winter Approaching

Lupin walked out the school and made his way cross the walkway which led on to the grounds. He looked over to the great lake as he walked, walked with a quicker pace and smiled at the view, enjoyed the crisp refeshing air on his face, he never thought he would get to again or knew how much he would miss it.

Walked down between the stone pillars and looked down to Hadrid's Hut and then sat down on the slop leading down to it, watching the snow clouds rolling in.

He looked round, looked a little startled by her out burst. "Hello Ginny." he said with a weak smile "I'm well thank you, never felt better actually.." he said looking back to the great lake "..Just have a lot on my mind, but it doesn't matter, how are you, be nearly time for you to leave for the hoildays.."

"Well that's nice." he said looking back to her "needs who he can to be with him at the moment, sure you will have a nice christmas, I have too much to do to be worried about Christmas, just another day in the year for me." he said laughing lightly, but it didn't last very long.

"Well sure Molly and Arthur will have a good time with all of you buddled into that house..not sure how they cope." he said with a weak smile feeling his throat tighten as he thought about Tonks and everything that was going on..

"..sort of, but it will pass, has to, have the war coming anyway.. everything will have to go on hold till after, just made a stupid mistake.. told her last night, didn't take it too well..." he sighed and took a deep breath so he wouldn't break down and remained not to give Ginny any eye contact

"Molly would kil me for saying this, but if that's what you wanted, then you should.. but you're be most likely be killed and used against him, make him suffer losing you.. hate they thought of it, but it's what they would do..." He looked back to her "Can sit down Ginny, don't bite, not anymore.."

"You are doing a lot for him now, being there for him helping him, I'm sure he knows that, needs all the help and suport he can, dread to think what would have happened if you and the rest wasn't there for him.."

He smiled at her and looked away to the lake as he saw something splash in the water

"Hope I didn't miss the squid.."

"Stress most likely/" he said going to into his inside pocket and taking out a chocolate frog. He handed it to her "Might help a little, have it later if you like.."

"Bugs, come and go, don't worry about it, if you don't feel well enough to work, then go to the wing and get a day slip.."

He said yawning and laying down on his back looking up at the clouds passing over head
