Erica's P.O.V.

After a while I stop crying in Remus's arms. When I have completely stopped Remus looks down into my eyes and wipes my tears from my cheeks. He leans over and kisses me on the lips. I don't refuse his soft lips. When we pull away, I look back into his eyes and let a couple more tears slip from my eyes.

"What's the matter Erica?" Remus asks concernly.

"Severus was going to... hurt me." I say softly.

"No!" Remus cries. "I won't let him!"

"Thanks you. But I doubt there is anything you can do to stop him." I say, still scared that at any second Severus might burst through the doors.

"There is something I can do. Let's go to Dumbledore."

"No!" I almost scream. "Then he'll be so furious with me. I don't want to tell anyone. Please. Just let it go."

"No, I am not just letting this go. I care for you Erica. I care for you more than you may think."

"What do you mean Remus?" I ask, knowing the answer.

"What I mean is, I love you." He says a bit shyly.

"Do you really?" I ask.

"Of course I do. Would I lie to you?"

"No, of course not." I say truthfully.

"I won't let him hurt you any longer Erica. You don't deserve it. You really don't"

"Thank you Remus." I say and sink back into his arms. "I love you." I say quietly into his chest. He takes his arms and wraps them gently around me. We stay like this for a couple of minutes until there is a knock at the door.

My head shoot up from his chest and I stare at Remus and start shaking all over.

"It's him." I whisper to Remus. He stands up quickly and takes my hand. He strides over to his desk and gently put me under it. He then goes to the door and opens it.

"Where is she Lupin?" Comes Severus's angry voice from the doorway.

"Who exactly is she Severus?" Asks Remus.

"You know exactly who I'm talking about. I know she's in here somewhere. Now tell me." Severus says angrily as he gets closer, obviously in the office now.

"Erica? No, why would she be in here?" Says Remus, closing the door.

"Don't play stupid werewolf, you know why she's here."

"Severus, I have no idea what you're talking about. Really, I don't." Says Remus innocently. Then, to my surprise, a knock comes to the door. I hear Remus's shoes walk quickly to the door and open it up.

"Ah, Remus and Severus." Comes the headmaster's voice. "Severus, what are you doing here?"

"Searching for someone." He says driely.

"Intresting, fore so was I." Says Professor Dumbledore.

"May I ask who you were looking for?" Asks Severus.

"I was looking for Ms. Erica Glat." He says.

I watch the three from a crack in the desk. Albus's eyes travel to there and lock onto the crack. I move my head back quickly, my heart beating quickly.

"As I have told Severus, I don't know where she is." Comes Remus's voice. I bring my head back to the crack and relax when I see that Albus is no longer staring there.

"Well, then, can I talk to you privately then Remus?" Asks Dumbledore, his blue eyes sparkiling.

"Yes Sir. Severus, if you please." Remus says, opening the door up. I see Severus give him a dirty look and walk out of the office.

"Erica, you can come out now." Says Albus. I crawl out from underneath the desk and stand up straight, dusting off my robes. I walk over to the two men and stand next to Remus and in front of Albus.

"What did you need to talk to me about Albus?" Asks Remus, wrapping an arm around my waist, making me feel safe.

"Actually I wanted Severus to get out, so I could talk to Erica." He says calmly, taking his gaze off of Remus and resting it on me.
