Hi! Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I've been busy with school and stuff.

Chapter 10: The Perils of Teaching

Remus Lupin was one of the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers Hogwarts had ever had. So it was natural for the students to like him. But Remus thought some were taking it a bit too far.

The first time it happened, Remus simply brushed it aside. He gently told the girl that he was flattered, but that what she was suggesting was both wrong and illegal. She left his office in tears and he thought that was the end of it. How wrong he was.

The next time was much worse. This girl clearly had more confidence and experience with seducing men.

The sixth year, Holly Barnes, waited until everyone had left after class. When the last student left the room, she slowly approached Remus's desk, swaying her hips in what was supposed to be an alluring way.

Holly leant casually against the desk, battering her eyelashes.

"So, Professor", she began softly. "I think you know why I'm here"

Remus's eyes widened in terror as he realised what was happening. Again.

"Um, I'm afraid I don't, Miss Barnes"

Holly smirked slightly as she dropped her bag on the floor and started making her way around the desk.

"Playing hard to get, eh? Ok, if that's the way you like it"

Remus leapt to his feet and backed away quickly. Too quickly, because he slammed into a spare desk and fell to the floor. He hurriedly scrambled to his feet and continued to back away from his student, as she continued to approach him.

"Miss Barnes! You are behaving very inappropriately! I'm flattered that a girl your age would be interested in me but I'm afraid that I could never, ever engage in anything of that sort with a student!" he said hysterically.

Holly paused, looking confused.

"But, Professor, you-"

"No! Please leave my classroom and never try anything like that again" Remus interrupted. Holly snatched up her bag and stormed out of the room, scowling furiously and muttering angrily "Men!".

Remus lowered himself shakily into his chair and rubbed his eyes warily. He heard footsteps and removed his hands from his face to see yet another girl standing in front of him. To make matters worse this seemed to be an even younger girl than the others.

"Oh, dear god, help me"

………………………………………………………………………………………

This continued on for 3 weeks, different girls always approaching him, seemingly thinking that he wanted it. Remus desperately tried to think of a time he had said something that would make them think that. But he came up blank. He couldn't understand it.

Then, one day, it all became too much.

After one particularly difficult class with his seventh years, he bent over to retrieve a quill from the floor, and when he straightened up, he was face to face with Adam Jones.

"Yes, Adam?" he asked distractedly.

Adam started leaning towards him and Remus suddenly understood what was happening. He jumped back with a look of shock plastered across his face.

"Not again! Why are you doing this?!" he yelled frantically. Adam was blushing furiously but also looked confused.

"Professor? I-You wrote those flyers. You've been handing them out. Why wouldn't you know?" he asked uncertainly. Adam, now looking mortified, started to leave the room.

"Wait!"

Adam spun around looking hopeful. Remus grimaced.

"What flyer? Can I see it?" he asked eagerly. He would finally know why he had been being harassed for weeks. Adam slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a simple black and white flyer. Remus took it and started to read.

Hogwarts students,

Anyone wishing to engage in any sexual activities with me can simply approach me. In private, if I was to be caught, well, that wouldn't end well. I am open to any gender, appearance or anyone over 15.

Hope to see a lot more of you soon,

Professor Remus Lupin.

Remus stared, appalled and frozen, at the hideous piece of parchment in his hand. Who would do such a thing? Well, he could think of one person, but he highly doubted that he would come to Hogwarts to play this prank when he was being hunted by the entire wizarding world. Yes, Sirius would find this hilarious. But who else would?

"So, you didn't write that?" Adam asked slowly. Remus just shook his head. Adam quickly sprinted from the room, hiding his face.

Just then, Snape entered the room carrying a goblet of Remus's monthly Wolfsbane potion. The full moon was tomorrow.

"Lupin, I've made you more of your-"

He broke off, looking at the flyer. Strangely, he started smirking. He set down the goblet on a desk. Then proceeded to walk straight back out again. Remus heard laughter echoing in the corridor outside. Comprehension slowly dawned on him.

"Snape!"

AN: Yes I know, I know. Definitely not my best work. But I haven't had much inspiration lately and this is the only thing I could think of. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.

Oh and you know my first chapter, The Spread, do you think I should delete it? I think it's scaring people away from the story because in story traffic, people look at the first chapter and then not the rest so, I might delete it. But I want your opinions first.

Oh and another thing. I'm doing the 40 Hour Famine! I'm going without food and furniture. Yes, me and a group of friends are doing it. A lot of people think we're crazy, but it's for a great cause so I'm happy to do it. If you want to participate in it just go to

You can go without food, furniture, technology or do work all weekend without breaks or being paid.

If you have any ideas that you want me to include in this then just put them in a review or PM me. Review please! =P
