Questioning
Electra hadn't been seen for days, and Remus was getting really worried about her especially when Sirius wouldn't tell him what was wrong and tried to keep him away from her; he knew that there was something going on, and wanted it settled before the upcoming full moon.
It had taken him a while but he had finally lost Sirius and got a chance to go and see Electra, he had gotten all the way up to their corridor when he ran into none other then Severus; which as soon as he saw him headed straight for him.
"Lupin, you should come to my office earlier tonight." Severus told him. "We want everything to be alright, instead of you putting it off like you have been doing; we don't want any accidents now do we?"
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Remus asked him distractedly.
"It'll mean nothing as long as you take your potion's like your supposed to." Severus told him, and then added as an after thought. "Harry wanted to talk with you, and Sirius said that Electra is sleeping after the potion Madam Pomfery and I gave her."
"Really, I'm surprised that Sirius let you give her anything after what happened last time." Remus said glaring at him, because he wanted to see her but he didn't want to wake her if she wasn't feeling well.
"That wasn't me remember?" Severus said coldly.
"What ever you say." Remus said, as he tried to step around him but Severus wouldn't let him past; but then he seemed to change his mind.
"Go and see her then, wake her up after she hasn't been well and this is her first chance of sleep." Severus said, hitting his mark straight away.
Remus stared at him for a moment, but then lowered his head he didn't really want to disturb her but he did want to see her himself just to make him feel better. He could feel Severus staring at him as if trying to read if mind wondering what he was thinking if he was really going to go to her, but before he said anything Severus turned back round and went the way Remus had wanted too; but changed his mind and went back to his office. He didn't want to find Harry to find out what ever it was he wanted, but he did want to find Sirius to find out what was going on he wanted answers.
Severus walked up the corridor wondering how he managed to get ride of him, he knew he shouldn't have made so much up; but he wanted to see her himself without anyone else around. Why though, why did he want too?
He stopped about four foot away from her door, wondering what he was doing there, why was he there because of the dream? He was being stupid again like he had been when he was back at school, but he was here now it wouldn't hurt just to go in and see if she was alright; after he had hurt her after what he had done to her. He shock his head, telling himself that it wasn't him but Lucias Malfoy; but it still didn't help because he had been in his appearance her nightmares were about him touching her doing horrible thing's to her, why on earth would she like him now, why on earth would she had liked him in the first place.
He looked at the door, and then swallowed hard and walked towards it. He stood there in front of it not knocking just staring at it; he was acting stupid again and he knew it, he could just tell her that he wanted to make sure she was alright after the other night; yes that's what he would do.
He knocked on the door, and the stepped back realising what he had done; why would she believe that he wasn't really the caring type now was he? There wasn't an answer, he wonder if that was a good thing, maybe she was sleeping or what if she was in trouble?
Severus pushed opened the door and slowly walked through, he could hear running water.
"Sirius I'll be out in a minute, I don't see why you knocked though!" Electra shouted through from the bathroom.
Severus looked around, wondering what he was doing as he walked through and pushed the bedroom door open; she wasn't there. He looked over to the bath room and just stood there, when Electra walked out; she looked at him and the stumbled backwards tripping on her robe and falling to the ground.
Severus rushed over to her side while she tried to move away from him and cover her exposed leg.
"I'm sorry." Severus said, and then he saw the mark and she realised that he had seen it as well; he couldn't help but stare at it even after she had covered it again.
Electra pulled herself up and Severus slowly straighten up still staring at her, she wished that he wouldn't she turned away from him and walked over to her bed; and then turned back round he was still watching her.
"What?" Electra shouted at him, she closed her eyes and then opened then again and smiled slightly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shouted."
"Why not, you have every right to take it out on me." Severus told her calmly.
"Really do I?" Electra asked. "If it was really you who did all that to me, do you really think that you would be standing here now?"
Severus shock his head, as Electra sat down.
"Why didn't I do anything, the mark I had that before...well I had it a while." Electra admitted. "I should have done something, why didn't I know the difference between you; you knew me straight away for who I was he had no idea."
"Why should he?" Severus asked, Electra looked up at him; he remember that look so well. "It wasn't a stupid question so you should answer the question."
"You just answered it yourself." Electra told him, though she wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not that he remembered. "Severus, why are you here?"
Severus looked at her for a moment, wondering the same thing himself; why was he really there it wasn't as though he was hoping anything would happen, she was married and wouldn't go near him after what had happened.
"Do you even know?" Electra asked.
"Of course I do." Severus shot at her. "I wanted to make sure you were alright after the other night, but if I'm not wanted then I'll just go."
Severus turned round to walk out, Electra just watched him leaving but then as he reached the door she quickly got up and ran over to him to stop him.
"I'm sorry; you can stay if you want to." Electra told him. "But not in here, through there."
"Of course." Severus said with a small smiled.
"Just give me a minute while I get dressed." Electra told him, he went through to sit down while she threw some clothes on.
She walked back through a couple of minutes later, wearing a lilac skirt and deep purple top; she sat down on the sofa putting her feet up. He just watched her the whole time, which he knew was making her uncomfortable but he couldn't help himself.
"part of me wishes that I could be like him." Severus said suddenly surprised them both at his statement.
"What are you talking about, I thought you hated him." Electra said looking at him puzzled.
"He...he never cared what anyone thought of him...what ever he wanted he just went for it no matter what it was and...and he always got it no matter how many people he hurt along the way in doing so." Severus told her.
Electra was the one staring at him now, this was a whole new side of him that she had never seen before; and part of her wanted to see more of it.
"What did he...I mean did he take something of yours?" Electra asked him, Severus suddenly got up so Electra followed suit. "I'm sorry...god I keep saying that to you don't I...why the hell do I feel as though I have to keep saying sorry to you?"
"Because you don't...I shouldn't have come...I'm sorry." Severus told her as he walked over to the door, with Electra following him; he turned round to say goodbye and she was stood so close to him, too close.
"Why are you going, I thought that you wanted to talk?" Electra asked him.
"I have to go, and I don't think your husband would be to pleased if he found me here." Severus said as he opened the door.
"I guest not." Electra said.
"Just one question before I go." Severus said, she nodded. "The mark, why didn't Sirius do anything after seeing it?"
"He never saw it until after it was over." Electra answered.
Severus looked at her for a moment before he nodded and walked out of the door, he never looked back as he walked down the corridor as she watched him.
