"No!" Elizabeth scowled, storming into the Gryffindor 7th year girls' dormitory, her silky, waist-long, chocolate brown hair tousled from her constantly running her fingers frustratedly through it. Lily shut the dormitory door calmly behind them, before turning back to face Elizabeth, who had now flopped gracelessly onto her bed with a groan.
"Don't be so dramatic, Elizabeth. Remus is a smart and extremely sweet guy." Lily tried to explain. Elizabeth sat up quickly, her face contorted in rage. Her eyes were black instead of their usual forest green and her fangs glinted in the candlelight. Lily waved it off, "don't give me that look. Maybe if you actually gave him a chance you'd realise he's a decent guy."
"Decent guy?!" Elizabeth spat furiously, "there's nothing decent about him! He's a werewolf for one thing - which is enough of a reason for me to hate him, might I add - and for another thing he waltzes around like he can make me fall for him, which will never happen anyway!" Elizabeth folded her arms across her chest defiantly as she continued to scowl.
"Don't you realise that to everyone else he's quiet, shy and polite?" Pointed out Lily. "He's only arrogant around you. He's trying to show off. It's the wolf in him which surfaces when he's around you. It's like he accepts that part of him when he's around you."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes "I refuse to be his mate." Elizabeth muttered stubbornly, deep in thought. "I'm going for a walk."
"It's past curfew and as a prefect I shouldn't let you." Lily protested half-heartedly. Sighing, she finally gave into the pleading look Elizabeth was giving her, "Fine, just don't get caught!" Lily called after Elizabeth's back as it slipped through the dormitory door.
Elizabeth stuffed her hands into the pockets of Gryffindor hoodie as she strolled silently through the corridors of Hogwarts. She was deep in thought, processing the events of earlier that day.

Elizabeth sat quietly under the shade of a large oak tree just beside the black lake. Yesterday had been her 17th birthday - finally she was of age! Just the thought made her grin to herself. The grin quickly slid off her face when she realised she was not alone. A shadow fell over her and she looked up to see the last person she ever wanted to see.
"What do you want, Lupin?" She growled dangerously.
"Hello to you too, Elizabeth" he smirked as he sat beside her, much to her annoyance. "I've been meaning to tell you something and since you came of age yesterday, I thought now was the perfect time." His voice was husky, different to how it usually sounded. Looking over at him she noticed how much more arrogant his posture was and his eyes, which were usually a silvery blue, were now a deep amber. She swallowed, "what's the matter with you?" She asked, curiosity finally getting the better of her. Remus smirked wider and leaned closer to her.
"That's what I was intending to talk to you about. Or rather show you," he leaned closer, causing Elizabeth to shuffle away looking around for an escape. His hand shot out and, with almost gentle pressure, forced Elizabeth to look into his eyes once again. Sparks shot through her, making her skin tingle and she found herself getting lost in his eyes. She wrenched her eyes away and launched back from him, scrambling to get up.
"No! Absolutely not!" She gasped in shock and anger. Remus looked smug.
"You're my mate, Elizabeth. It's your lucky day." He dived for her and pinned her to the ground before she could get up.
"Get off of me! This has to be some sort of joke!" She struggled beneath him but there was no denying it. She was his mate. And that meant...he was hers. No!

Elizabeth had finally managed to use all her strength to shove him off, before practically sprinting back to the castle and locking herself in a toilet cubicle on the 4th floor. Lily had finally found her and managed to talk her into telling her what happened over a cup of hot chocolate in the kitchens. From there they'd gone up to their dormitory, having missed dinner.
Sighing, Elizabeth stared out of one of the 5th floor windows. She was so lost in thought she didn't hear someone approaching.
"I should dock you house points for being out after curfew" said a familiar, husky voice. Elizabeth whipped around and there, leaning casually against the wall a few meters away from her, was none other than Remus Lupin himself. Great, she should have realised he'd probably be on prefect duty tonight.
"Leave me alone, Lupin. You wouldn't dock points from your own house anyway" Elizabeth said warningly, as he stalked closer to her, a predatory glint in his amber eyes. She became lost in those hypnotising caramel orbs giving Remus the opportunity to cage Elizabeth in against the window, his arms placed either side of her head. Elizabeth swallowed and shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. Remus pressed closer to her and grinned wolfishly.
"Wouldn't I?" He asked in a way that somehow made her weak at the knees as his lips ghosted over the shell of her right ear. Licking her lips nervously, Elizabeth whispered,
"N-no, you'd be an idiot if you did." She couldn't believe the precarious situation she'd allowed herself to get into. But for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to care. Remus pulled back and smirked down at her smaller figure. His nose bumped hers as he leaned forwards, causing her to swallow audibly.
"Ah yes, but I wasn't the one wandering the castle after curfew, knowing I could get caught by a prefect on duty - which is exactly what happened to you." By this point Elizabeth was putty in his hands and they both knew it. Remus nudged one of his knees between her legs, pressing her back against the window. His lips were inches from hers and he noticed her eyes lower to his lips as her tongue darted out to wet her own.
