Chapter 4

Luna was relieved to see that Dumbledore didn't lead them to the Great Hall.. Facing everyone was just too much. Instead, the professor led them around back and through a short-cut, causing them to end infront of Professor Lupins office. Dumbledore stopped and turned against them. "I will inform the kitchen that you have a guest tonight. I recommend staying in your chambers until I return." He said, not giving any of them time to protest before walking past them and disappearing behind a corner.

Luna didn't move and neither did Professor Lupin. She was going to be in Professor Lupins personal chambers? She bit her lower lip and felt Professor Lupin getting a better hold on her, as a sign that they were going to move.

They moved into Professor Lupins office and through a door in the end of the room.

It didn't look as Luna had pictured it. It looked way too.. traditional. But maybe Professor Lupin didn't care that much for interior. The first room they got into was the study.. or living room. Luna couldn't really decide. There were books everywhere, but there also was a couch and what Luna thought was the dinner table. Luna was positioned in a chair at the small, round table while Professor Lupin lit the fire. Not that it was cold. Or so Luna thought. Maybe Professor Lupin thought otherwise.

"Would you like another healing potion?" Professor Lupin asked. Luna gave out a quick laugh. He could might as well have asked her if she would have wanted some tea. "No.. I am okay.. Just.. Exausted." Professor Lupin nodded and then gave a weak smile. "I know the feeling." He answered.

Professor Lupin sat down just in time for the food to appear in front of them. The meal was enjoyed in silence. Luna had no idea what to say to him. She felt like telling him everything, but how the hell was she supposed to start? She knew they had had a moment before Professor Dumbledore had walked in down in the infirmary. But right now, it seemed the had the chemistry of a teaspoon. She stole a look at professor Lupin. He obviously avoided her, looking everywhere but at Luna.

At the end, Lupin finally spoke up. "So.. Ehm.. How are you feeling?" Remus said awkwardly as both of them had finished eating. Luna gave a weak smile. "I'm fine, I guess.."

A knock on the door was heard and then Dumbledore entered. "Goodevening again. Had a pleasant meal?" Both nodded and so Professor Dumbledore continued; "Good. Luna, I am afraid I have to ask you to sleep here." He turned his gaze to Professor Remus, "If possible of course." Luna looked at Professor Lupin. He was pale, but nodded in accept. "I am not sure if it is a good idea to send you up to your dormitory just yet, Luna. And I could not see a better place for you to be, than with Remus. You won't find anyone who could understand you better." Professor Dumbledore said. Luna nodded and looked down.

Well..This was going to be awkward.

Lupins POV

Remus could feel his heart stopping when Albus told her to spend the night at his chambers.

He looked stolingly over at Luna. Had she gotten a little paler, or was he just imagining it? She looked down and Remus once again found himself pulled towards her. He gathered himself and managed to formulate a proper goodbye to Albus where after he slowly shut the door. He swallowed and tried to get his stunned heart to start working properly. He cleared his throat and turned around.

"Maybe you should go to bed Miss Lovegood. I am sure it has been a long day for you." He said and tried his best to give a proper smile.

"Where do you want me to sleep?" Luna asked him. "Just take the bed." Remus said, showing her into the bedroom. "I will sleep on the couch." he said that mostly to convince himself of that. What he really wanted was to lie in his own bed. Next to Luna.

"There's plenty of room for the both of us. You shouldn't have to sleep on the couch. Not after a night like yesterday." Luna said. Remus bit his lip. No. She was right. The bed was quite huge, and they could sleep without getting disturbed by the other, but somehow, sharing bed with a student, no matter the size of the bed, sounded wrong in his ears. Nonetheless, he answered; "Maybe I will. But I am not going to bed now, Miss Lovegood. I have some papers that need grading." Luna nodded in agreement and went into the other room. "Oh, and Professor? Please call me Luna." She said and closed the door after her.

Remus drew a hand down his face in defeat. She really wasn't giving him any choice.

Luna's POV

Luna gently opened her eyes. She had almost forgotten where she was, but then she noticed the darkblue covers and she immediately remembered. She pulled the covers a little more up, not wanting to leave the comfortable bed yet, when something stirred next to her. She turned over to her side and looked right into the sleeping face of Remus Lupin.

He looked completely peaceful, laying there. His scars were no longer scary, and instead, Luna found them rather beautiful.

Luna reached out for his face and gently slid a finger down his temple and down his jaw. When he didn't react she daringly placed the whole hand on his cheek. His eyelids fluttered and opened very slowly.

No one said a word. They just lay there, looking into each other's eyes until Lupin coughed and said, obviously nervous; "How are you today? Do you feel better?" Luna flexed her fingers on his cheek and smiled weakly. "Im good." She slit her hand down to gently caress his neck. "That's.. Uhm.. That's good." A small pause. "Are you sure you do-"Luna interrupted him by dragging him forward by the neck and solidly planted her lips on his.

It was unlike anything Luna had ever experienced. The moment their mouths met, a tingeling spread in her entire body.

It started out innocently, but somehow her mouth and body started moving automatically because suddenly she found herself straddling him while kissing him down the neck before instinctively letting her teeth brush his skin. He gave out a surprised moan, and when Luna looked up from his neck, still continuing the rough nibbling at his neck, she saw he had thrown his head backwards and was biting his own lip. Luna could only guess that it was to keep another moan from approaching.

Luna kissed her way back up to his mouth that responded immediately and kissed her hungrily back. He pulled her close and rolled them over so that he was lying on top. Luna automatically put her legs around his waist, and drew him closer. They continued to kiss for quite some time. It was not until both of them desperately needed air, they pulled away, both breathing heavily.

He looked her in the eyes for a few minutes, none of them where speaking and then it started. Luna had known it had to come at some point. Apparently this had been the last straw. "I am so sorry for what I have gotten you into Luna. I never meant to hurt you or anyone else. Now look what have happened! You, having to go through this every month," "We don't know that yet." Luna shot in, but he didn't seem to mind, he just kept on rambeling, "and doing those things to yourself. I am so sorry Luna. I really am. I tried to warn you. I did." Luna sighed and gently caressed his cheekbone with her thumb. "I know you did. I know." She reassured him. Did he really think this was the time? Or the position for that matter? Luna found it rather odd that he had chosen to pour out his guilt when they lay in his bed with her legs wrapped around his waist. "And now, I am starting to.. do these things to you. You must really think I am some kind of monster and it is all because of.." "Hey!" Luna interrupted sharply, apparently that finally did the trick and made him shut up. "You. Are. Not. A. Monster." She placed her hands on the sides of his head and gently shook it for each word. "Relax." She said, trying to sound as calming as possible and started to stroke his temples. He sighed and then she could feel him starting to relax over him.

"Good." Luna whispered after a while. She had never expected Remus to be the kind of person to panic, especially not over something that wasn't even happening right now. Luna drew her hands down to lie behind his neck and was about to pull him forward so she could kiss him when a strange sound was heard in the bedroom, startling her. Remus sighed and leaned his forehead on her shoulder. What the hell was that sound? It sounded like someone had taken a cat and pulled at its tail while it had yarn in its mouth.

"It's the alarm." Remus sighed against her shoulder. Alarm? Who the hell had an alarm that sounded like that!

"We need to get up." He said but didn't move. He probably wanted it as less as she did. Luna sighed and patted his shoulder asking him to move. He did so and Luna got out of the bed reluctantly. She sent an angry thought to Ginny, for she was the only reason she did so. She wouldn't want her to worry about her.

As she got the few items of clothes on that she had taken off yesterday, her eyes somehow found Remus' and she smiled lovingly at him. He smiled back hesitant and Luna returned her concentration to the task at hand. When she was finished she quickly leaned in towards Remus, who hadn't moved one bit, and kissed him on the lips before turning towards the door.

"Lu- I mean, Miss Lovegood." Luna frowned and turned against him, halfway out the door, by the sound of her name across his lips so formally. "I don't.. I don't think this is something that should repeat itself." He continued. To that Luna just tilted her head, smiling and stated; "You don't really mean that," before going out the door and going towards her dorm.
