Chapter 8

Lika awoke feeling totally refreshed, but aching in unfamiliar spots. She stretched contently and glanced up at the clock. It's almost time to begin my first day at work, she thought nervously. She had a hollow pit in her stomach as worry began to fill her. She hadn't taught school before and was concerned she wouldn't do well.

Remus felt her lashes tickling his chest and reached to press her palm to his. Her emotions poured into him even stronger than before they had made love and he knew instantly that she was scared.

"Good morning." He mumbled in her ear.

"Hi." She replied toying with a lock of her hair.

"What is it? Do you regret last night?" He asked with baited breath.

Lika gazed up at him as she pulled herself upward to kiss him with all her love. She held his head still as she nibbled his lower lip. He moaned into her mouth and locked his arms around her.

"Does that answer your question?" She teased.

"Hmm. I don't think I'm convinced." He said as he rolled them over quickly so she was under him and gave her a gentle kiss. Her breath caught as she looked up at him with worry still in her eyes.

"What is it then?" He asked.

"Just nervous. I've never taught before. What if I'm bad as a teacher? What if the kids don't like me?"

"Don't be ridiculous. They're going to love you. Just be your charming self and they'll be hooked." He said confidently as he stroked her hair and glanced at the clock. "I better be getting home. I have to get dressed and get my lesson plans. Meet you here when I'm done? We can use the floo network together. You can't Apparate on Hogwarts grounds so the fireplace is usually quickest."

"I'm not sure where I need to be going so that would be great. Thanks Remus." She said as she got up. She glanced around for her clothes but remembered they were in the kitchen floor and blushed deeply as she looked around for something to cover herself with. She snatched at the sheet and stood up.

Remus watched her with wicked delight as she tried to be modest. He clutched at the sheet as she began to walk away so the sheet didn't go with her, presenting him with her naked backside.

"There's no need for such modesty Lika." He said as he grinned at her affronted look. He rose off the bed so he was standing in all his aroused naked glory and stalked toward her. She held her ground and met his intense gray gaze as he lifted her off the ground so her legs were wrapped around his hips.

Remus felt a sudden surge of passion grip him and he knew he had to have Lika now. He walked a little way over to the wall and pressed her against it for leverage as his mouth met hers in a burning kiss. He slid easily into her welcoming wetness and drove into her with an unknown intensity.

Lika was going crazy as she felt herself coil tighter and tighter. This lovemaking was quite different than last night, not as gentle but more needy. Like he was clinging to something that was about to be taken away from him. She felt herself pulse around him as she cried out his name and came, followed very quickly by Remus.

Remus stood there supporting her as he kissed her face and eyelids until he felt himself slip out of her. He let her legs down slowly so she could stand up and felt her squeeze his hand as she leaned forward to kiss his cheek.

"See you later Remus." She said as she turned and headed to the bathroom, leaving Remus staring after her. He didn't Disapparte for his house until he heard the shower turn on.

Remus had been absolutely right about her first day. She had nothing to worry about. The students did seem to like her and by the end of the class she was sure she had won them over. She heard them talking amongst themselves when they thought she was out of earshot.

"She's so much better than that old fraud Trelawney." One girl had said.

"At least she didn't pretend to know everything." Another one told her friends.

And the boys were just typical teenage boys. They stared at her all through class with their mouths hanging open.

"She's gorgeous. Did you see those eyes?" One said to his gang of guys, who all nodded in agreement.

"Loved that accent. I'd listen to her read a phone book." Another said.

But the highlight of her day came when she met the world famous Harry Potter. He was much like Dumbledore, everyone knew who this wizard was. He was the boy who lived through a deadly curse that took his family from him. At first he watched her warily but quickly she knew he liked her immensely, as did his friend Ron Weasley.

From what she gathered the teacher prior to her had pretended a lot. If she didn't know an answer or couldn't predict something she'd just make it up. Lika let her students know immediately that she wasn't that type of teacher. If she didn't know something she said so. She found that people took her more seriously that way.

She made her way out of the classroom and had just touched the door knob when she felt an unfamiliar sensation rip through her. Colors whirled past her as she traveled at a rapid pace. Next thing she knew she had been slammed into the carpeted floor. Someone must have turned the door knob into a Portkey, she thought in alarm.

Lika looked around the room quickly trying to decide where she was. The room was huge and obviously a study of some kind. When her eyes came upon a pair of cold blue ones she could do nothing but stand there in shock.

"Lucius? How did you find me? What do you want?" She demanded angrily.

"I have my sources and I want the same thing I always want my dear." He said arrogantly.

"I've already told you no. Now leave me alone." She said as drew herself to her full height.

"Now now love. Manners." He tutted.

"Don't piss me off Malfoy. You've brought me here against my will. Now let me go." She threatened.

"Unfortunately I can't do that. You see, you have information I need." He replied silkily.

"I'd die before telling you anything." She spat at him.

"Indeed? Well if you're sure." he said sizing her up. "Crucio"

Lika sank to her knees as the spell hit her. Pain blinded her as she hunched over feeling the darkness swim around her.
