Miss Elaine
Chapter 1
The room was quiet and dark as Elaine laid there awake holding Remus' hand as he slept in their bed. The flat only had one bedroom and neither could really afford to buy another bed.
So many thoughts were running through Elaine's mind as she laid there awake. She thought of the time her and Shawn were looking at a book of baby names. Discussing the names they liked for their child. As she thought of that, her free hand moved down to her stomach. Suddenly, she realized how flat and empty it was.
The baby would have been seven months old now. Just two more months till it was born, but that would never happen. It was dead before it was even born.
Gently, Elaine let go of Remus' hand. She put both of her hands behind her head. Something she often did when she was stressed. Remus felt the bed shifting and woke up. He saw Elaine lying there with her hands behind her head. "What's wrong?" he asked sensing something was wrong.
"Nothing," she lied not wanting to talk about it.
"You know, if there's something wrong you can tell me." Remus said and held her.
Elaine rested her head on his shoulder and said, "I know, but I don't want to talk about it."
"Just don't worry about it. You're strong. 'Sides, you need your rest. Big day tomorrow," Remus said and kissed her gently on the lips.
She leaned up and kissed him back. Elaine cuddled to him as began to fall asleep in his arms.
"Morning," Remus said and placed a tray on Elaine's lap.
She sat up and looked at the tray in front of her. It was filled with a good hearty breakfast of cereal. "How sweet. Thank you for not making a mess," she said picking up the spoon.
A blush came to Remus' face. He remembered the time he made her pancakes and the whole kitchen was a mess. "It wouldn't have mattered if I had made a mess. No one would have had to clean it," he said smiling.
"Oh?" she said and took a spoonful of cereal.
"Guess why!" Remus said smiling wider.
"Because you're lazy and I won't be here," Elaine said eating more cereal.
"No, guess again," Remus said.
"Because you've won the lotto and we have a maid!" Elaine said eating more.
"Nope. Guess again!" Remus said sitting on the corner of the bed.
"I give up. Tell me," Elaine said using her spoon to play with the milk that remained in the now cereal less bowl.
"I'll give you a hint," Remus said and got up and went into his closet.
He came out of the closet wearing worn black robes. Elaine looked at him and said, "You've just came out of the closet and you're wearing a dress. I'm guessing you're trying to tell me you're gay."
He busted out laughing. "You wish! You're not getting rid of me yet. Now, guess why I'm wearing them," he said.
" 'Cause you failed seventh year and they're making ya go back," she said pushing the tray aside and standing up. She was clad in a tank top and panties.
"Ha ha! Last chance, guess again," Remus said and walked over.
"You're dressed like that cause you're making fun of my new style. Too bad I can't just were muggle clothes," Elaine said.
"I get to be your aid. I was talking to Dumbledore. Talking about how you're still a little shaky and how we're close," Remus said sheepishly.
"Close?! We should be close! I'm your girlfriend," Elaine said faking anger.
Remus kissed her gently on the forehead and said, "What was I suppose to tell him? Yeah, can I come along so I can shag my girlfriend?"
Elaine kissed his nose and said playfully, "Well, since you didn't ask, you can't!"
"Let's shower together," Remus said smiling.
"No," Elaine said knowing what he was up to.
"It'll save time," Remus said.
"No, it won't. It takes twice as long that way. That's why I said no," Elaine said turning around.
"It'll be fun," he said.
"You do the dishes while I shower. That'll be fun," Elaine said and walked into the bathroom.
After a quick shower, she brushed her hair and teeth and walked into her room. Looking through drawers she found her a pair of jeans and gray tank top. Quickly, she put them on.
Remus walked into the room as she getting out her robe. He was naked with only a towel wrapped around his waist. "Looking good," he said to Elaine.
She turned around and said, "Same to you."
"I'm only wearing a towel," he said.
"I'm aware of that," she said and smiled.
A few hours later, Remus and Elaine arrived at platform nine and ¾. "Ah, bring backs memories," Elaine said.
"Good or bad ones?" Remus asked.
"Both," Elaine said honestly.
He held her hand said, "You can't change the past, but you can try to have a pretty nice future."
"I know," she said and smiled. She gave his hand a small squeeze.
"Shall we?" Remus asked looking at the solid wall.
"I'm right behind you," Elaine said.
"Lady's first," Remus said and playfully bowed.
"Alright," she said and walked right into the wall. Emerging at the Hogwarts' station. A second later, Remus appeared next to her.
"I never tire of doing that," Remus said cheekily.
"Good for you. Still is a little creepy for me," she said.
"Let's take our seats," Remus said grabbing her hand.
She pulled away to put on her robe and took his hand. "Where do the teachers usually sit?" she asked.
"I didn't find this out until the ride back, but they sit in the first compartment," Remus said leading the way.
Elaine followed him as he led her into the compartment. It was empty. Remus shut the door and they sat down on the bench.
"We get some privacy for a while," Remus said smiling.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked smiling.
He just simply nodded in return. Elaine sat on his lap. He held her tenderly and the two began a major snogging session.
Both were so engrossed in the snogging that neither noticed the door open and loudly close.
"Ahem!"
They continued to snog.
"Ahem!"
Remus' hands began to go in Elaine's Robes---
"Will you two warn me before the puppy making starts?!" Snape snarled nastily.
Both Elaine and Remus broke the kiss and blushed. Elaine slid off of Remus' lap and looked over at her childhood tormentor who was sitting across from her.
He was still the same old Severus. The only changes Elaine could see were his nose appeared to be bigger and his hair greasier. She nearly blurted out, "When was the last time you took a bath?"
"What are you staring at?" Snape snapped at Elaine.
"Nothing. Just surprised to see Hogwarts hired two new teachers," Elaine said not knowing Snape had been at Hogwarts for nearly a decade.
"Excuse me? Are you insinuating that I'm a new teacher?" he asked.
"Yeah," Elaine said simply.
"I'm been teacher here for nearly ten bloody years. I was here two years ago when wolf boy was on the loose again," he said looking over at Remus.
"Why didn't you tell me he was a teacher here?" Elaine screamed at Remus.
"I forgot," Remus said.
"Do you actually think I believe that?!" Elaine asked enraged.
"Seems you can't control the little woman," Snape said and smirk.
"You stay out of this!" Both Remus and Elaine said to him.
Severus just crossed his arms and pretended like her had no interest in the matter at all. As they continued to fight, Snape listened in secretly as he pretended to read a new potions book.
A few minutes later, Elaine realized she was acting silly and apologized. Remus eagerly accepted and they were full-fledged lovebirds again. This disgusted Severus.
As the minutes passed, more and more teachers came into their compartment. The last teacher to come in was Dumbledore. A few minutes after he arrived, the train took off.
The ride was pretty quiet. Most of the teachers were reading. Cashing in on their last peaceful moments before school started. Remus and Elaine sat and held hands and looked and winked at each other occasionally.
"They're acting like love sick teens," Severus thought and scuffed at them.
Half way through the ride, the old witch with the food cart came in. Some of the teachers order some sweets. Dumbledore seemed to order the most. It was well know that he had a sweet tooth, but he did offer some of his treats to everyone in the compartment. Most, polite declined. Remus ordered a pumpkin pastry and pumpkin juice. Elaine declined knowing the treats would affect her blood sugar.
Remus offered Elaine a bite of his pastry. "You know I can't have sugar," she said.
"You bite won't hurt," he said wanting her to taste his favorite treat.
"Ok, but just one," she said.
"Open up," he said smiling.
She smiled at him and opened her mouth wide. Remus pushed some of the pastry into her mouth. She bit down and pulled away.
"Ah, young love," Dumbledore mused looking at them.
Snape looked at him and thought, "Anyone's young compared to you."
Dumbledore just narrowed his eyes and gave him a look that says I know what you're thinking. Severus just turned his head and continued to look at his book.
The rest of the ride was pretty peaceful. Elaine decided to take a nap and rest her head on Remus' shoulder. He held her close as she rested.
The train came to a stop. The other teachers were getting up and leaving. Remus woke up Elaine and gave her a gently kiss. "It's time to get off," he said.
They held hands and got off of the train. As they walked around they bumped into a boy with messy black hair.
"Remus?" he exclaimed.
"Harry?" Remus said shocked.
"Yeah, it's me. Have you came back to teach?" Harry asked excitedly. Making both Ron and Hermione look over.
"Sort of," Remus said smiling.
"Tell us," Ron said.
"Look, we best be going, but you'll find out everything soon," Remus said.
Elaine smiled at Harry and said, "Nice to see you again, Harry."
Harry looked her confused as they walked off. He had never met her before in his life. "I wonder who she was," Harry said.
"Maybe it's his wife," Ron said.
"Don't you think he would have told Harry if he was married? Besides, she looks like that lady that defeated Voldermort," Hermione said.
"I hope she is," Harry said.
"Why?" Ron asked confused.
"Because I won't be the celebrity around here anymore," Harry said hopefully.
During dinner, Harry and his friends noticed that women from before was sitting next to Dumbledore and Remus. Occasional, her and Dumbledore would take to each other. Harry also notice she and Remus smiled at each other a lot.
Once dinner was over, Dumbledore got up and made his usual announcements. It was boring until it got to the part about the new DADA teacher.
"I'm sure most of you recognize this young women sitting here. Her name is Elaine Martin. She defeated Voldermort. Although, she did defeat him, she has lost many people close to her. I believe it will be a value to all of you that she will become your new DADA teacher. She will not be alone though, I'm sure many of you recognize Professor Lupin. He will be her aid in teaching you defense against the dark arts. Would you like to say anything Miss. Martin?" Dumbledore said.
Elaine got up and Dumbledore gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. Remus looked at him and joked, "Where's my kiss?"
In true form, Dumbledore walked over to Remus and kissed him on the cheek. This caused him and the whole school to laugh.
"Now, what did you want to say Miss. Martin?" Dumbledore asked.
"I just wanted to tell everyone I'm honored to be teaching here. I mean besides for being the first muggle born teacher in school history, I feel this is a fine school," Elaine said and sat down.
Her speech had caused all of the students to talk. It was shocking a muggle born was going to teach.
"She's a muggle born! Can you believe that?" Hermione asked excitedly at the Gryffindor table.
"Dad would love to see this," Ron said thinking of his dad that loved everything muggle.
At the Slytherin table gasps and snickers would be heard. "Can you believe they let a mudblood become the new DADA teacher? Wait till father hears about this," Draco Malfoy said.
"I think now would be a good time for dessert," Dumbledore said and dessert appeared on everyone's plates.
After dinner, Elaine and Remus sat in their room. "So, what did you think of your first day?" he asked.
"It was good. Just don't think I should have said my muggle speech," Elaine said.
"Most of them were bound to know the minute Dumbledore said your name. It was in the papers," Remus said and laid on the bed.
"True," Elaine said and sat down on the bed next to him.
"I'm here to make you feel better. Don't forget that," Remus said and kissed her.
She kissed back then pulled away. "Hold that thought, honey. I'm going to go shower," she said.
"All right, but don't take too long," Remus said and smiled.
Elaine smiled at him and said, "I won't, love."
She grabbed her white fluffy robe from her trunk and headed towards the bathroom. She walked into it and looked around. It was huge bathroom. It had a large tub that looked like a swimming pool and a large shower. All of the teachers shared it, but she figured it'd be free at this time of night. The walls were a sea foam color with tiny bubbles on the walls. There were several pictures of mermaids. All of which splashed at her and said their hellos. She smiled and said, "Evening ladies."
Elaine took off her robe and hung it up on a hook. She stood there naked and ran the shower. Hot water jetted out soundlessly. She stepped into the hot shower and closed the curtain. The hot water felt good on her naked flesh. It was relaxing and soothing. She closed her eyes as the water fell onto her hair and rolled down her body.
As she began to wash herself, the door opened and closed. It was Severus in his green robe and slippers. He took off his slippers then his robe and hung it up. He noticed a white fluffy robe hanging up. "Just like Mcgonall to forget her robe," he though and headed towards the shower.
Just as Elaine was reaching for the shampoo, Severus opened the shower curtain. Elaine just looked at him shocked for a moment. There she stood naked and dripping wet before her as he stood dry and naked before her. Snape couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. His eyes were drinking up her beauty.
She noticed he was staring at her and a blush came to her face. Quickly, she grabbed a nearby towel and wrapped it around herself. She stepped out of the shower and grabbed a robe. Snape watched her as she put it on. He couldn't help but feel saddened that the beauty of her bare body had been covered up.
"This never happened," she said.
"Right," he said and she left locking the door behind her.
Just as she was gone, he realized that in the confusion and embarrassment of what had just happened she had mistakenly taken his robe. He ran to the door and opened it a crack. "Mudblood! Mudblood!" he hissed, but it was too late. She was nowhere in sight or in hearing range.
Elaine entered hers' and Remus' room wearing the green robe that appeared to be two sizes too big for her. Remus sat up on the bed and said, "Weren't you wearing a white robe?"
Elaine looked down and got a real shock. She was standing before her lover in another man's robe. There was one simple solution: To tell the truth.
"Um. You know me. I'm fickle. I changed the color. White was boring," Elaine blurted out afraid to him the truth, even though nothing had really happened.
"Wasn't it smaller?" Remus asked.
"Uh. It was. Too tight! Yeah, that's it. It was too tight," Elaine said and looked down, "Um. Guess, I made it a little too big, but it's really comfy."
"Did you use a spell?" he asked.
"Yeah," she replied quickly.
"Oh, smells like a nasty potion. It really stinks. Maybe you should give it to the house elves to wash," Remus suggested.
"Um. I'll do that," Elaine said.
"Why don't you take that off and join me in bed?" he asked and smiled.
"I will soon, but I want to finish writing up my lesson plan," she said sitting down at the desk that was about ten feet away from the bed Remus was laying on. Suddenly, she caught a whiff of the robe. She started coughing from the horrid scent.
"Are you ok?" Remus asked surprised at the sudden attack of coughs.
"Yeah, dust went up my nose," she lied. 'Oh, God! I'm doing it again. Lying,' she thought.
Elaine opened a fancy notebook that she had bought to write her lesson plans in. It was beige with a large rose in the middle of the cover and little petals all over the cover. She was almost done with the first day, but she knew there would still be time left over.
Remus put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Almost done?"
She jumped up. He looked at her and said, "Why are you so tense and jumpy? Did you see a ghost in the bathroom?"
"Nope," she said smiling.
He looked over her lesson plan and said, "You seem to have everything planned out."
"There's twenty minutes left, though," she said.
"It's the first real day of school. No one's going to want to work. Give 'em the last twenty minutes free," Remus said smiling.
"I don't know. I mean, if I do it the first day, they might get used to it," Elaine said unsurely.
"Oh, come on. They just lost their free time," Remus said and kissed her neck.
"Mmm. Twenty minutes free time isn't a bad idea. I mean, there something more important I'd rather do now than planning how to use up those minutes," Elaine said getting up.
Remus picked her up and carried her into bed. "I knew you'd see it my way," he said grinning at her.
Miss Elaine
Chapter 1
The room was quiet and dark as Elaine laid there awake holding Remus' hand as he slept in their bed. The flat only had one bedroom and neither could really afford to buy another bed.
So many thoughts were running through Elaine's mind as she laid there awake. She thought of the time her and Shawn were looking at a book of baby names. Discussing the names they liked for their child. As she thought of that, her free hand moved down to her stomach. Suddenly, she realized how flat and empty it was.
The baby would have been seven months old now. Just two more months till it was born, but that would never happen. It was dead before it was even born.
Gently, Elaine let go of Remus' hand. She put both of her hands behind her head. Something she often did when she was stressed. Remus felt the bed shifting and woke up. He saw Elaine lying there with her hands behind her head. "What's wrong?" he asked sensing something was wrong.
"Nothing," she lied not wanting to talk about it.
"You know, if there's something wrong you can tell me." Remus said and held her.

"Guess why!" Remus said smiling wider.
"Because you're lazy and I won't be here," Elaine said eating more cereal.
"No, guess again," Remus said.
"Because you've won the lotto and we have a maid!" Elaine said eating more.
"Nope. Guess again!" Remus said sitting on the corner of the bed.
"I give up. Tell me," Elaine said using her spoon to play with the milk that remained in the now cereal less bowl.
"I'll give you a hint," Remus said and got up and went into his closet.
He came out of the closet wearing worn black robes. Elaine looked at him and said, "You've just came out of the closet and you're wearing a dress. I'm guessing you're trying to tell me you're gay."
He busted out laughing. "You wish! You're not getting rid of me yet. Now, guess why I'm wearing them," he said.
" 'Cause you failed seventh year and they're making ya go back," she said pushing the tray aside and standing up. She was clad in a tank top and panties.
"Ha ha! Last chance, guess again," Remus said and walked over.
"You're dressed like that cause you're making fun of my new style. Too bad I can't just were muggle clothes," Elaine said.
"I get to be your aid. I was talking to Dumbledore. Talking about how you're still a little shaky and how we're close," Remus said sheepishly.

"Good or bad ones?" Remus asked.
"Both," Elaine said honestly.
He held her hand said, "You can't change the past, but you can try to have a pretty nice future."
"I know," she said and smiled. She gave his hand a small squeeze.
"Shall we?" Remus asked looking at the solid wall.
"I'm right behind you," Elaine said.
"Lady's first," Remus said and playfully bowed.
"Alright," she said and walked right into the wall. Emerging at the Hogwarts' station. A second later, Remus appeared next to her.
"I never tire of doing that," Remus said cheekily.

He just simply nodded in return. Elaine sat on his lap. He held her tenderly and the two began a major snogging session.
Both were so engrossed in the snogging that neither noticed the door open and loudly close.
"Ahem!"
They continued to snog.
"Ahem!"
Remus' hands began to go in Elaine's Robes---
"Will you two warn me before the puppy making starts?!" Snape snarled nastily.
Both Elaine and Remus broke the kiss and blushed. Elaine slid off of Remus' lap and looked over at her childhood tormentor who was sitting across from her.
He was still the same old Severus. The only changes Elaine could see were his nose appeared to be bigger and his hair greasier. She nearly blurted out, "When was the last time you took a bath?"
"What are you staring at?" Snape snapped at Elaine.

"Excuse me? Are you insinuating that I'm a new teacher?" he asked.
"Yeah," Elaine said simply.
"I'm been teacher here for nearly ten bloody years. I was here two years ago when wolf boy was on the loose again," he said looking over at Remus.

Elaine entered hers' and Remus' room wearing the green robe that appeared to be two sizes too big for her. Remus sat up on the bed and said, "Weren't you wearing a white robe?"
Elaine looked down and got a real shock. She was standing before her lover in another man's robe. There was one simple solution: To tell the truth.
"Um. You know me. I'm fickle. I changed the color. White was boring," Elaine blurted out afraid to him the truth, even though nothing had really happened.
"Wasn't it smaller?" Remus asked.
"Uh. It was. Too tight! Yeah, that's it. It was too tight," Elaine said and looked down, "Um. Guess, I made it a little too big, but it's really comfy."
"Did you use a spell?" he asked.
"Yeah," she replied quickly.
"Oh, smells like a nasty potion. It really stinks. Maybe you should give it to the house elves to wash," Remus suggested.
"Um. I'll do that," Elaine said.
"Why don't you take that off and join me in bed?" he asked and smiled.
"I will soon, but I want to finish writing up my lesson plan," she said sitting down at the desk that was about ten feet away from the bed Remus was laying on. Suddenly, she caught a whiff of the robe. She started coughing from the horrid scent.
"Are you ok?" Remus asked surprised at the sudden attack of coughs.
"Yeah, dust went up my nose," she lied. 'Oh, God! I'm doing it again. Lying,' she thought.
Elaine opened a fancy notebook that she had bought to write her lesson plans in. It was beige with a large rose in the middle of the cover and little petals all over the cover. She was almost done with the first day, but she knew there would still be time left over.
Remus put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Almost done?"
She jumped up. He looked at her and said, "Why are you so tense and jumpy? Did you see a ghost in the bathroom?"
"Nope," she said smiling.
He looked over her lesson plan and said, "You seem to have everything planned out."
"There's twenty minutes left, though," she said.
"It's the first real day of school. No one's going to want to work. Give 'em the last twenty minutes free," Remus said smiling.
"I don't know. I mean, if I do it the first day, they might get used to it," Elaine said unsurely.
"Oh, come on. They just lost their free time," Remus said and kissed her neck.
"Mmm. Twenty minutes free time isn't a bad idea. I mean, there something more important I'd rather do now than planning how to use up those minutes," Elaine said getting up.
Remus picked her up and carried her into bed. "I knew you'd see it my way," he said grinning at her.
