Grounded and Uncle Remus
Jack's POV
I sat on my bed reading the book list for this year and groan in annoyance. "What's wrong Jackie?" Uncle Remus asks as he knocks on the door. I sigh giving him the list as Soren taps at the window. Opening it he flies in and gives me a letter from Fred. "Must be a witch this year" Uncle Remus mumbles.
"No kidding, my friends are going to Diagon Alley Wednesday" I say reading Fred's letter. "Can I go with them?" I ask him.
"Not like that" he states and I sigh in annoyance changing back to my disguised appearance. "It's not that bad Jackie, you'll be free to be yourself one day" he assures. "Besides at least you're here and not at Severus'. He'd never let you get mail except from Hogwarts and he wouldn't let you go to Diagon Alley" Uncle Remus explains. I sigh knowing he was right, no doubt he'd get my supplies for me or have Mrs Malfoy do it.
"Thank you Uncle, are you coming with me to Diagon Alley?" I ask him.
"I think you're mature enough to go alone, as long as you stay disguised. I can drop you off in the morning then pick you up afterwards" he tells me.
"I'd love that, do I have to get Lockhart's books?" I ask him.
"Yes, they are on your list and I expect you to read them before school starts" he says sternly. I groan in annoyance flopping back onto my bed. "Just skim them, no need to read the whole books" he adds and I throw a pillow at him as he leaves my room chuckling. I always have fun with Uncle Remus when we weren't reading together.
When Severus and I got home at the beginning of summer. I asked if I could spend the summer with Uncle Remus. He agreed, but explained to Uncle Remus how I am grounded for the summer. Severus pops in occasionally to make sure I am being punished properly. Also I go back to his house for a few days during the full moon. Uncle Remus is a werewolf and he doesn't want to risk hurting me.
Yes, I know he is a werewolf I've known since I was nine. I was always smart since both my guardians were per-teaching me before school even started. Especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions. So I put two and two together, but I don't mind him being a werewolf. He is still my godfather and uncle.
Anyway back to what is happening, Harry has not written to me once all summer. Which makes me sad as I was really looking forward to his letters this summer. But according to Fred and Hermione, he hasn't written to Ron or her either. It also said in Fred's letter that they saved Harry last night from our muggle relatives. They had locked him in his room, locked Hedwig in her cage and put bars on his window.
Also I finally got a letter from Harry finally wishing me a happy birthday. It is our birthday today and I have gotten letters along with some presents from my other friends as well. "Jack come down stairs" Uncle Remus calls and I do so to see Severus.
"Hello Uncle Severus" I say with a smile.
"Happy Birthday" he says giving me a present and I thank him. We all sit in the lounge where I open all my presents. I thank them both for my presents from them and we all have dinner together. "Jack remember you need all the books on your list" Severus states.
"Even the Lockhart books?" I ask him innocently.
"Yes even, wait... Lockhart books?" he asks and I hand him the list. "This is ridiculous, but yes you have to get them also" he mumbles. "By the way Tonks will be taking you to Diagon Alley" he states.
"But Uncle Remus said I could go by myself" I tell him.
"Well I say no, so it was agreed that Tonks would take you" he explains. "Only because you and Draco are fighting" he adds.
"Draco's a spoiled brat" I mumble and Severus ignores my comment. Soon he says his goodbyes and leaves for his house. "Do you want me to cook tonight?" I ask Remus.
"No it's your birthday, so we'll order take out" he tells me. "How does Mexican sound?" he asks.
"Sounds great, can we have butter-beer?" I ask him and he nods his head. I go to get the butter-beer while he orders the food. Twenty minutes later we are sitting in the dining room eating nachos. After that I get ready for bed early and wish him a goodnight.
