Haha, I cant believe how horrible that chapter was, lol, I tried, anyway,
chapter 10…mmm, I will give you a little inside. Snape and Raie get caught
in an embarrassing position (be it this chapter or the next) and Harry will
do something spontaneous, that will surprise Raie. Draco will…well,
wouldn't you like to know. Hermione will explain to Raie, what is bothering
her, and well…Remus Lupin returns, and falls in love with…come on, you can
guess!!!!
Chapter 10-On the road to Betrayal
I found myself speeding down the hall. I passed Peeves, who threw something at me, but I'm not quite sure what exactly it was. Ginny was standing by the portrait.
"Whoah, slow down Raie," Ginny said, putting her hands out in front of me, to slow me down.
I was running so fast, I slid into her. I grabbed her neck to slow me down.
"Sorry, Ginny!"I said apologetically.
"That's all right," she said, rubbing her neck.
"I have to talk to you now!"I said, grabbing her wrist. I said the password (Doonkey Flunkar) and I pulled Ginny up to our dorms. The dorm was deserted.
"Listen, I have to tell you something,"I said, feeling my heart rate quicken.
"Oh dear, what did Snape do to you?"Ginny said, looking me square in the eyes.
"Nothing Ginny!Oh come on, really, you don't think he'd do anything?"I asked, seriously thinking about what she had said.
"I honestly think he might, don't get me wrong Raie, but he is an adult, and well…" she said, and looked down at the ground.
"Well, I don't think he'd do anything…ok, but, I have a detention with him tomorrow,"I started, but Ginny interrupted me.
"Raie, if he does anything to you, get out of there, fast!"
"Ginny, Ginny, he isn't going to do anything, honestly!" I said, she must have insane vision of what Snape wants to do to me.
"Alright, then I will believe he is a good man, and he wont do anything, happy?"Ginny said, sarcastically.
"Thanks, that will work," I said smiling, and she forced a smile back.
"Anyway, Raie, the Gryffindor fourth and fifth years have Defense Against the Dark Arts next," Ginny started, "Our new teacher is here,"
"Joy," I said sarcastically.
* * * * * *** * * *
Ginny and I ran down the hall, fearing we would be late for class, and the new teacher. Ginny lead, for I didn't know where it was. All of a sudden, Harry, Ron and Hermione came around an opposite corner, and me and Ron collided.
"You should really watch were you are going,"Hermione sneered at me.
"Oh shut up," Harry and Ron said at the same time. I saw Hermione turn pale. She looked as if she were going to cry. All of a sudden she turned, and ran toward the class room door.
"Sorry," Ron apologized to me.
"That's all right," I answered back.
"Ugh, it's just that I've"(Harry interrupted with "We've") "right, 'we've' had it up to here with Hermione's attitude."Ron said.
"I think she is sincerely jealous of you Raie,"Harry said, his eyes glowing.
"Well that's great, like I really want her mad at me,"I answered, sarcastically.
"Hello?!We should get to class,"Ginny reminded us, and we walked through the door and entered.
"You can sit with us,"Harry said, and I took a spot near the side of the room, between Ron and Harry. Hermione sat across the room, alone, behind Lavender Brown, and Pavarti Patil, who waved over at me, and I waved back.
"So where is our new teacher?"asked Ron out loud.
All of the sudden, the door banged open, and a tall, handsome young man fell through the door, all the possessions in his hands fell.
"Professor Lupin!" the class shouted.
Had they said 'Lupin' as in Remus Lupin? One of my father's friends? I could hardly believe it. I had never seen him before. I leaned over to Harry.
"Is that Remus Lupin?"I asked, and Harry nodded enthusiastically.
"As is our father's friend,"Harry said.
"Hello class,"said Lupin, as he staggered toward the front of the room.
Harry leaned behind me, and said to Ron, "He looks a lot healthier from the last time we saw him,"
"No kidding," Ron whispered back.
"How have you all been? Two long years, too long really," he said, standing in front of the class. I'll take roll, although I remember all of you,so when I call your name, raise your hand."he said, smiling out at the class. I could tell, by their attitude that they really enjoyed this teacher.
"Black, Raie."called Lupin
I slowly raised my hand. As he looked around the class, he stopped when he saw me. His eyes got real wide. I figured immediately that he thought I was my mother. I distinctly heard him whisper "Victoria?" but not loud enough for everyone to hear.
He continued down the list with "Brown, Lavender; Finnigan, Seamus; Granger, Hermione; Longbottom, Neville;Patil, Pavarti; Potter, Harry; Pusian, Tony; Weasley, Ginny and Weasley, Ron"
"Seems that everyone here is a old face,"said Lupin, smiling up at the class.
"Not everyone,"said Hermione, standing up. I immediately knew she was going to say something sarcastic.
"No, I believe everyone is,"said Lupin, bending down for his briefcase.
"No, not everyone sir, you forgot about Raie,"Hermione said, pointing at me. I could feel myself blushing. To the right of me, I saw Harry scowling at her.
"Oh, well, I think I might know her,"said Lupin not looking up at the class.
And, I had to endure Hermione's smirks all through DADA.
* * * * * * * *
Raie pov
I went stomping back up to the dorm alone. I couldn't stand Hermione, was she always so ignorant? Ron and Harry had both told me she was such a nice person. I didn't exactly think so my self.
"Miss. Black,"called a voice from behind me, and I turned around to see Remus Lupin.
"Sir, um, Professor Lupin."I answered.
"I need to ask you something," he said, looking at me seriously.
"Go right ahead sir,"I replied.
"First, you are Victoria's daughter, aren't you?" he asked me.
"Yes sir, I am." I answered him, why was I not surprised he was asking me this?
"And second, your father is Sirius…"he stopped and looked at me.
"Yes sir, I know my father is Sirius Black, evicted murderer who escaped from Azkaban, but he really didn't kill anyone, and he didn't betray Harry's parents, that would be Peter Pettigrew, also known as Wormtail," I finished with a breath.
Lupin's eyes were wide with amazement.
"You didn't think I knew that did you?"I asked him.
"No, I didn't, well I just wanted to know, see you tomorrow in class,"he said, and turned the other direction.
"Yes sir,"I called after him.
"Hello Professor," I heard Harry say, as I turned around to see him run past Professor Lupin.
"Raie, there you are, I have been looking for you all over,"he said, his eyes sparkling.
"Why?" I asked him, afraid of what was coming.
"Raie, I have to tell you something,"he said, looking into my eyes, and at that moment I decided I should run, but for some reason, I couldn't.
He pushed me up against the wall and kissed me on the lips. Then he looked me in the eyes, and said
"Raie, I have secretly admired you…."
I escaped him and headed straight for the dungeons, where I could find Snape.
I ran along a narrow passage way, until I turned the corner and ran smack into Snape. I accidently and pushed him over, and now I was laying on top of him.
"Sir!"I said, getting up, and helping him to his feet. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, honestly,"
"That's alright," he said, brushing off his robes, "I didn't mind at all,"
"Oh, I bet you didn't." I said, smiling at him.
"Was there something you wanted?"he asked me.
I was gathering all my courage to do what Harry had just done to me. I felt my self hyperventilating. And then it stopped. I knew only then, I had enough courage.
I grabbed his face and planted a kiss on his lips, and I felt him kiss me back. He wrapped his arms around me and we kissed. I was so surprised he had kissed me back, I almost fainted in his arms. I wanted to stay like this forever, but he finally let go, and looked into my eyes.
"I wish you would call me Severus," he said, smiling.
I could feel myself weakening. He just made me feel that way. I wanted to stay with him forever. I knew that, I may actually love him.
"Only…"I said, seeing my chance to kiss him again. Exactly what I wanted.
"Only what?"he said, resting his hands on my waist.
"Only if you kiss me like that again," I said smiling. He immediately planted his lips on me, and kissed me. I could feel myself feeling light as air, once again.
He pulled back and asked, "What is my name?"
I smiled back, "Severus," I answered.
"Thank you," he smiled at me.
I could feel myself starting to tear.
"What is it Raie?"he said, wiping away my tears with his finger.
"I just cant believe it,"I said, feeling myself starting to get emotional.
"Believe what?"he said, looking down into my eyes.
"I don't know, I just…"I stopped, I found myself flung into his arms, and he was patting my head.
"Raie, please don't cry," he said.
All of a sudden there was a crash, and Snape automatically let go of me. I wiped my eyes, and turned to see a dark shape pass infront of us. We both stopped dead.
