Beginnings

A petite, purple-haired witch trips her way into Number Twelve, and Remus, ever the gentleman, offers a steadying arm.

"Thanks." She straightens herself, brushing off imaginary dust before fixing her attention on him.

"Wotcher! I don't believe we've met." The hand she thrusts out for a shake makes direct contact instead with the bric-a-brac on the side table. She winces before they even hit the floor.

"SHAPESHIFTING MUDBLOOD FILTH! HOW DARE YOU BREAK THINGS IN THE NOBLE AND MOST—"

Remus yanks Mrs. Black's heavy curtains shut and offers his hand, giving the shaken young witch a sideways smile. "Nice to meet you, Shapeshifting Mudblood Filth. I'm the Werewolf-in-Residence."

A/N: Why, hello! Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you? Anyway, my aim is for this fic to be a sort of sequel to my previous piece "Unconditional." I really love this kind of drabble-format, and it will end up being (hopefully) 100 chapters in total. I'm planning on posting each little piece as I finish them, so with any luck it shouldn't be too long between installments. I hope you enjoy the ride!
