A Call from the Past
Nissa sat in her office, going through scrolls of parchment she couldn't believe how much she had still to do, she thought that she had already done half but then another deliver came. Anyone would think that she was the only one who worked at the Ministry as an Auror, but considering what she was they did trust more of the dangerous assignments to her, even though that she had a family.
There was a knock at the door; she slowly looked up from her work. "Come in."
The door opened and Remus walked in, he smiled at her as he walked over to the desk, Nissa smiled back at him and put her work to the side.
"Hey Remus, what can I help you with?" Nissa asked.
"Well, erm...it doesn't matter I'll talk to Sirius about it." Remus said getting back up again, but Nissa reached out and stopped him by placing her hand over his.
"Remus what ever it is, you can talk to me about it." Nissa told him kindly as she sat back down again.
Remus nodded slightly and sat down as well, he looked around the room before he looked back at her.
"Well...erm...I don't really know how to say this so I'm just going to say it." Remus told her. "I want to ask her to be my mate."
Nissa smiled at him and then sat back in her seat. "It's about time, goddess you've taken long enough."
"What?" Remus asked a little confused and taken back.
"She doesn't mind werewolves so what's been the problem all these years; it isn't the age thing is it?" Nissa asked. "Well she doesn't care, and I didn't really think that you cared either."
"It isn't the age thing; it's never been the age thing." Remus told her. "It's always been the werewolf thing. With you its different, you had Sirius he didn't care at all...but with me it's different...because I'm not like you."
"Remus it's only different because you make it different." Nissa told him, he smiled at her slightly.
"Maybe if she was one as well I wouldn't have minded as much, I don't know." Remus said.
"You minded with me, or maybe that was just because Sirius liked me as well and you were never sure if it was you or the wolf part." Nissa said. "So personally I would have to say that it's a good thing that she isn't or you my never have gotten anywhere unless she would have still made the first move."
Remus just looked at her for a moment, before he smiled. "How do you do that?"
"Do what; always have an answer for everything?" Nissa said smiling back at him. "Because of my life and how long I've lived."
Remus just smiled at her, yes he would love to know everything about her, they all would; but they know now that was never going to happen unless they all somehow got transported to where ever this place was that she says she comes from. (Oh I'm working on something like that, if anyone's interested then tell me in the review and I'll see what I can do after I've finished this story.)
"So Remus when are you going to tell her?" Nissa asked him breaking into his thoughts. "Oh have you talked to Sirius about it?"
"No I decided to come straight to you first, you know werewolf to werewolf, and I needed a woman's point of view as well." Remus answered.
"Tell her Remus, or you'll always regret it." Nissa told him.
"What and end up like Severus, with a thousand regrets to look back on; I don't think so." Remus said.
Nissa smiled slightly at him. "I don't think that he has a thousand, but he does have a few of course everyone does."
"Yes, but his is you; and we all know it." Remus told her. "I know that I shouldn't say it, but I have wondered myself what would have happened if I would have just given in during the full moon."
Nissa smiled at him. "Well, you can always think of it like this; somewhere that's what happened, so one of your billion other selves would have found out the answer to that."
"I guess your right." Remus agreed. "So that means that somewhere you might have ended up with Severus."
"Perhaps you shouldn't tell him that we don't want to give him any ideas now do we?" Nissa said smiling.
They talked for a little longer before Remus left by the fire he wanted to go straight over, and consider that it was the weekend he didn't really have any other plans keeping him at the school.
Nissa was still sat at her desk an hour later still trying to get through all of her work, she was hoping to either spend some time with Sirius or at least to see her children once today, beside from meal times though at this rate she would be getting it sent up to her office.
The fire place flickered, she felt it and sat up expecting to see either Remus coming back telling her how it had all gone, or Sirius giving her a surprise visit. But she wasn't that lucky, infact it was the last person on earth she had been expecting to see, infact she had never expected to see him again.
"What the hell do you want?" Nissa asked him as he stepped out of the fire place and dusted himself off.
"Well that isn't a nice way to welcome an old friend." he told her.
"Infidus you're not an old friend, and I wouldn't welcome you in anyway only by running my saber through you if you tried anything." Nissa told him.
"So has it come down to that." Infidus said trying to sound hurt, but he knew that she wouldn't fall for it, but it wasn't going to stop him from carrying on. "And after I took you in as a child this is how you treat me."
"Oh yeah you took me in, and then tried to teach me in the dark arts but I wouldn't have it, would I?" Nissa told him. "Especially when I got my memories back of our real world, you weren't at all happy then; and how I've turned out."
"Yes well, though you didn't need to keep Severus on the straight and narrow, he would have stayed if you hadn't been friends with him." Infidus told her. "He always had this blind wish that maybe the two of you would end up together."
Nissa just looked at him as he pulled out the chair and sat down on it.
"You still destroy him now rubbing it in his face that your right here but he can never have you." Infidus went on, and then smiled at her. She knew that smiled to well, he was up to something, and she probably wasn't going to like it. "About that, something's happened."
"What are you talking about?" Nissa asked, she wasn't really in the mood for talking to him.
"Can't you feel it?" Infidus asked her. "Its been there for years, but only in the past couple of weeks has it been so strong; something has happened. Something powerful has happened, you must feel it as well?"
"No I don't so that means that you're making the whole thing up, because like you must know that I would have felt it as well, and I don't feel as though anything at all is wrong." Nissa told him firmly. "So if that's all, you can leave now; unless you would want me to transport you somewhere?"
Infidus stood up slowly pushing the chair back slightly. "You're making a big mistake by not listening to me, and I think you feel that as well, even if you don't feel the other."
Nissa didn't show any sign that he was right, but deep down she did feel something but she hadn't not really until he had just mentioned it. He smiled at her again, and then left her alone to figure out what was wrong. She just stared at the fire place, why hadn't she picked up on this before, maybe she was letting herself go living here far to long. What ever it was she needed to find out what it was, though she didn't know how she was going to do that, because she had no idea what it was to start with. As she walked round her desk, she looked into the fire place again; what if this was one of his plans to get her? He had tried to kill her a couple of times before and not just here either.
(A/N: sorry it's taken me so long to update, I've been busy with starting work again and trying to sort the internet out because it hasn't been working properly. But I've finally got this chapter done, and hopefully I'll update soon again.
Oh one more thing, if you've just read this chapter, I've also gone through the other chapters and tidied them up I thought that I might as well they needed a little work on them, because I did them so fast because the idea of this story just came to me and I wanted to get it down as soon as possible. But don't worry there isn't that much of a change, just gone through added a couple of extra words which I've missed out because of fast typing and a few spelling mistakes.
Thanks to my readers for waiting so long for the new chapter, they'll be more soon promise!
