Being Harry James Potter-Lupin

Being Harry James Potter-Lupin


Soon six months had passed and everyone was settled in. The house and view were beautiful, but had nothing on Potter manor back in England. The children and the adults loved the beach front view they had. They would all take a walk on the beach every morning after breakfast.

Remus or Mina, as she was known to everyone she worked with and had met so far, looked lovely. She had never looked so health; she was sporting a nice tan from all of the sun and time spent on the beach and in the back garden, which happen to have a swimming pool.

Lily insisted Remus had a glow about her, not unlike when she was pregnant with Harry. This was of course to be expected, as she after all was four months pregnant, much to her surprise and James’s delight.

Sirius had teased them, claiming they didn’t waste any time. And they hadn’t. Within two and a half months of arriving in Miami, Remus discovered she was pregnant.

James had been eager to test out Remus’s new body, especially her more desirable assets. This meant they were at it like rabbits. They hadn’t been like this since they were eighteen.

And because she was pregnant, this in return meant she did not transform during the full moon. That was one of the perks of being pregnant if you were a werewolf, you didn’t transform. It was like the hormones caused by pregnancy prevented the transformation. Naturally the baby would also be harmed otherwise.

Of course Remus did avoid going out during the full moon. She wouldn’t transform, but it didn’t mean she still didn’t feel the pull the full moon had on the inner wolf inside of her.

They had all settled into a routine. James was an art teacher at the local college. Art had always been James’s strong point. Remus was also teaching photography at the local college. Remus had always been a wiz when it comes to using a camera. She could always pick the right light and setting.

Lily worked in a local hotel, as a receptionist, she hoped in a couple of years she would be given a promotion, maybe she could try for management. Lily had always been good at working under pressure; it was when she gave her best. Plus she was always a people person and pleaser.

Sirius worked at the same hotel as Lily. He was a security guard. He claimed it was just like being an auror, only he wasn’t using magic and chasing after and arresting bad guys.

Harry, who had turned two nine months after they had arrived in Miami, would stay in the nursery at the college his parents worked at. Hermione would join him there as well.

James and Sirius missed working as aurors. They missed the sense of excitement and adrenalin that came from chasing and arresting bad guys for a living. Remus and Lily had assured them, that as soon as Harry and Hermione started Hogwarts they could return to working as aurors.

Lily admitted she missed training to be an unspeakable. She had been in the middle of her training when she and James had gone into hiding with Harry. Pretending to be married, and had placed a glamour charm on Harry, so he had her green eyes.

Remus had opened his own book store in Hogsmead, as it was not widely known that he was a werewolf. Only Severus had found out about that and no one else. The book store had been closed down during the war, as no one wanted to venture out into Hogsmead, in fear of being attacked by death eaters.

Harry and Hermione only occasionally saw their parents use magic, but did not understand what they were seeing. Both children had shown signs of magic. This worried their parents greatly. What if either one of them accidentally did magic whilst out in public or at the nursery?”

Magical wards and anti muggle repellent charms had been placed around the whole house, front and back. This meant James and Sirius had been able to take Harry and Hermione flying in the back garden.
