Chapter 4

Farrah awoke the next day at dawn. She had hardly gotten any sleep the night before because of unruly emotions flooding through her brain.

Am I starting to feel something for Remus? No...I can't let that happen...it's all been done before...nothing good would come of it.

But then she thought of how happy his hazel green eyes were when he had bent down to kiss her. And how wonderful the feeling was that she got in her stomach everytime she saw him. It was like...magic.

Everytime she thought of him, words seemed to fail her. She couldn't describe the feelings she felt, only that she enjoyed them like she had never enjoyed anything else.

Sipping coffee and watching the news, Farrah tried to take her mind off Remus. There was nothing to be done, she thought. She couldn't see him again. It would only end up hurting her and him both.

But then again, how could she NOT see him? She needed to settle the emotions that threatened to make her insane.

A loud tapping noise drove her out of her reverie. She walked over towards the window and looked out.

Nothing. Nothing except a small letter on the windowsill. Farrah picked up the letter and looked out the window. How could someone of gotten to the windowsill? It was completely surrounded by shrubs and tall bushes.

What Farrah didn't notice, however, was a tiny brown owl flying quickly away from the house.

Bringing the letter inside and tearing it open, Farrah pulled out a tiny piece of paper that contained words written in black ink.

Dear Farrah,

I wanted to apologize for the other night,

it was rude for me to push you like that.

I wanted to know if you would join me for

dinner at my house this evening. Please

meet me at Kings Cross Station if you

choose to come. Meet me outside platform

9 at 6:30. I would like to see you again.

Remus

Farrah felt anxiety build in her stomach. So he wants to see me again, she thought hastily. She quickly dropped her distasteful mood and instead fell head over heels preparing for dinner that night.

"I've invited her to the castle tonight." Remus said quietly, looking Professor Dumbledore in the eyes.

"Great! Would you like me to accompany you and play the 'great great uncle'?" Albus said excitedly, his eyes beaming from his joke.

Remus laughed and smiled, telling the older wizard politely that he wished to spend the evening alone with Farrah. Afterall, he needed to know where they were going, relationship wise.

As long as he was protecting her from the Death Eaters and The Ministry, he was allowed to play on whatever he wanted. And at the moment, he felt the urge to fulfill his own need.

Because he was a werewolf, Remus took on a few of the characteristics of wolves. One of them, the most prominant, was the need to find a lifetime mate. His whole life, he had been searching for the woman who would complete him.

He didn't know if Farrah was the one, but it didn't hurt him to try and find out. To her, he was probably just another guy wanting her for her looks. But to him, she was so much more then just beautiful.

He thought she had a great personality, gorgeous smile, and on top of it all, she seemed to care for him, even if it was only a tiny bit. That little bit satisfied him more then anything else could have then.

Setting off down the empty corridor, Remus watched the last rays of sunlight streak through the windows of the castle.

Dropping off by his room, he picked up his muggle coat and and set off out of the castle.

The last rays of sunshine fell behind the city buildings as Farrah walked up to the entrance of Kings Cross Station.

Her mind elsewere, she found herself staring at the sky, entranced by the sunset's beauty. Shaking her head, she began to jog into the station.

She was 10 minutes late, and could only hope that Remus would still be there.

Farrah was wearing her favorite outfit: A milky white sleeveless top with a knee-length olive green skirt. She had an emerald green cloak pulled over her shoulders and emerald green gloves adorning her hands.

Her strawberry hair was flowing straight and luxurious down her back.

Hundreds of people swarmed through the station, all tagging behind them suitcases and luggage carts.

Trains were leaving every which way she looked, and people shouted towards others to usher them onto the train.

Following the crowd, Farrah found herself approaching platform 9. Biting her lip nervously, she walked quickly around a corner towards the platform.

Her heart froze when she didn't see him there. Did he already leave? she thought, her mind and heart racing.

She moved towards platform 10.

There, standing by the platform, talking to a young girl and her mother animatedly, was Remus.

He wore a jet black coat that fell to just below his knees. Visible beneath his coat were faded blue jeans.

How like him, Farrah thought as she approached him. Almost entranced by the sight of Remus, Farrah didn't even notice as the young girl and her mother passed straight through the barrier behind him.

"Remus?" Farrah called, smiling and flipping back her hair.

Remus turned his head and saw her. His heart raced as he felt his feet moving towards her, his mind blank and leaving him speechless.

"He-hey." he said, wanting to wrap her into his embrace but caught himself.

"Hi." Farrah suddenly realized that they were standing only a few inches apart, both seemingly lost in the others gaze. She shifted her weight and looked down at the ground, her smile turning into a thin mouthed one.

"I thought you'd left," she said honestly, looking up at him again.

"I'm really glad you came." He said to her, his eyes tracing every line and curve of her face.

"Well, which train do we take?"

"Close your eyes." Remus said.

Farrah didn't even give it second thoughts. "Alright" she said, giggling.

Placing her hands over her eyes, she let him place his hands on her shoulders and begin to walk her forward.

She felt a rush of wind and as quickly as it had come, nothing. She pulled her hands away from her face and looked up.

A bright red and black train sat in front of her. She turned to Remus and smiled.

"I'm guessing this is it?" she said, grabbing his hand and starting to run playfully to the doors of the train.

Once inside, they sat down in a small booth near the front. Farrah didn't give anything about where the train was going or why she had to close her eyes a second thought. She was too busy thinking about what to say to Remus.

She felt that she should be mad at him, since he had kissed her unexpectedly. But one look at him and she couldn't find the courage.

The train began to move and grassy hills came into view. Rolling mountains covered in wildflowers made Farrah jump to the window to see it more clearly.

Nature was beautiful there, and the world seemed to be of its own.

Remus watched her, taking in every graceful movement and every beautiful breath she took.

He felt his heart growing, watching her there, entranced by how much love seemed to radiate off of her.

"Are we almost there, Remus?" she said quietly, turning back to face him.

"We're here now." he said softly, smiling at her and motioning for her to look out of the window.

A tall castle stood out radiantly against a placid deep blue sky.

"Oh...wow." Farrah murmured, her eyes growing wide at the sight of the gorgeous castle.

Remus stood up, placing a hand on her shoulder. He bent down next to her and brushed his lips against her cheek.

Farrah sighed deeply at his touch, closing her eyes and enjoying the tingling in her body.

Remus stood up and reached out for her hand just as the train was coming to a stop. Farrah hesitated for a moment, then clasped her hand in his and stood up.
