Holly walked into Lupin's office, and he shut the door behind them with a click.

"Sit down," he said, motioning to a chair in front of his desk. She did as she was told, sinking down into the high-backed wooden chair.

Lupin walked around the edge of his desk, positioning himself opposite Holly. He looked at her for a moment before lowering his gaze, sighing.

"What happened between us," Lupin began, "Must never happen again. That is why I have decided to resign."

Holly stood up so fast that she sent her chair tumbling backwards. "What? No!" She cried.

Lupin nodded his head. "Yes," he whispered. He turned and walked over to the window, gazing outside onto the Hogwarts grounds. "I am going to miss this place," he said to himself.

Holly was still staring at him in disbelief. She shook her head vigorously. "No! You can't leave!"

Lupin turned around sharply to meet her gaze, "And why not?"

Because. because. you're the best Dark Arts teacher we've ever had! And. and." She paused, trying to think of another reason for him to stay, without having to state the obvious. A thought popped into her head, and she slowly edged closer to where he stood at the window. "Class just wouldn't be the same without you." She sidled up to where Lupin stood at the window, until her face was just inches from his. She reached out, running a hand down his shoulder, her fingers tracing invisible lines on his chest.

"No!" he roared, "I cannot let this happen again! I will not lead you into temptation! I will not." he trailed off, noticing that the look on Holly's face was one of pure desire. "No," he repeated firmly.

Holly bit her lip flirtily, then released it again. Her hand flew up to her neck, brushing the delicate skin of her collarbone, and then her hand moved slowly down. She gave a devious smile, because she knew Lupin was most likely wishing those were HIS fingers moving across her body like that.

"Please, no." he moaned, "please don't tempt me like that."

"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry, were you saying something? I guess I was just a bit. distracted," she finished, eyeing the bulge under Lupin's robes.

Lupin gritted his teeth, "If that's the way you want it, fine!" And with that, he grabbed her wrists and flattened her body against the wall with his own. His mouth pressed firmly against hers, his tongue sweeping across her lips.

Holly did not fight it; however, instead she gave a small moan and wrapped her leg around Lupin's waist.

Goddamnit, this isn't fair! Lupin thought. Time to play rough.

He nipped lightly her neck, and she just giggled.

Geez, what a masochist, Lupin thought.

He nibbled lightly on her lips, feeling her mouth stretch into a smile beneath his lips. He then bit down ferociously, tearing the skin on her perfect lips, causing her to bleed.

Holly cried out in pain, her hand flew up to her mouth where she felt the warm blood on her lower lip, on her chin. She looked down at the shining crimson liquid, gleaming on her fingertips. Without even realizing what she was doing, she reached out and slapped Lupin across the face, leaving a large red handprint on his cheek. Lupin staggered backwards from the force of the blow.

Holly, furious, tried to run towards the door, but Lupin caught her wrist and pulled her back. "Stay," he commanded.

She did as she was told.

"Don't you see?" Lupin asked. "We cannot continue on like this!" He turned his back to her, staring out the window at the now-darkening grounds. "And it's not just for my sake," he said softly, "I don't want you to get hurt."

"Yeah?" She replied, her voice shaking, "Well maybe I want to get hurt."

Lupin whipped around to face her, and his jaw dropped at the sigh before him. Holly had shed her robes, and was now undoing the buttons of her shirt. Lupin got the hint, and shed his robes before taking Holly in his strong arms and carrying her over to sofa, where he set her down before starting to undress.
