Disclaimer: Can you believe I still don't own anything Harry Potter?? Sad but true.

I'm glad I've gotten such positive reviews. It makes it so much easier to write. So thanks to all! Keep them coming.

Chapter 4

Three days later Analise was still wondering what the hell had happened. I thought he liked me. What if he's just one of those really friendly guys? I can't believe I tried to kiss him. I'm so embarrassed. Obviously he didn't want to kiss you. He turned his head so fast to avoid you. Ugg. Why am I even worrying about it? It's not like I really know him. She rolled her eyes in frustration and decided she needed a walk.

As she walked along the darkened roads of Hogsmeade, Analise kept rolling over his reaction in her mind. She could have sworn there was a mutual heat there, the way he looked at her singed her nerves and made her skin flame. She thought she'd caught him looking at her mouth also, but maybe it was just her wishful thinking.

She decided she needed to quit torturing herself when she noticed she was on her favorite bluff in Hogsmeade. When she was younger she was convinced you could see the whole world from this spot but now that she was older all she saw was the charming village, glinting in the soft moonlight. She looked up and finally noticed what a beautiful night it was. Clear sky, perfect for stargazing. A sudden thought occurred to her and she pulled her wand from her pocket.

"Accio telescope." She said into the silence. Analise stood in the dark and waited patiently. She was quite far from her house so she wasn't sure the summoning spell would even work, but sure enough she saw it flying silently through the night and land in her outstretched hand.

Damn. We must be a couple of miles from her house. Impressive. She's a very powerful witch, Remus thought as he watched her silently. After three days of watching her constantly he figured Snape could use a break. He was glad he'd agreed to help Snape, he couldn't explain why but he didn't want Severus to see her tonight.

So far Snape's reports had been nothing useful. He even went as far as calling Analise boring. But watching her now Remus couldn't help but wonder if Snape was watching the wrong woman.

He observed her watch the night sky and found himself extremely turned on. Her hips rocked back and forth as she danced to the music she was singing. Her soft melodic voice drifted to his spot in the trees and he had to stop himself from joining her.

She' s an assignment, she's an assignment, he chanted for what had to be the billionth time as he willed his raging libido to calm down.

As he gazed at her he noticed she glanced over her shoulder. He crouched a little lower behind the tree to make sure he was properly hidden. Then all of the sudden she took off running toward the cliff. He glanced around wildly to see if someone else was here to scare her but he saw no one. As he focused back on her he could have sworn she jumped off the edge. He was torn between blowing his cover or saving her. Her scream ripped through the night and his feet made the decision for him. He pummeled his way through the trees but stopped dead as he clearly heard her back again.

What the hell? She just jumped. I know she did, he thought in flat out confusion.

He saw her turn again as the commotion in the trees caught her attention.

"Who's there?" She called as her heart pounded in her chest. Her eyes searched the darkness for the source of the rustling.

Remus was thinking fast for a coverup when it hit him. He took out his wand and whisper "Avis!" He watched as birds flew out the tip of his wand toward where Analise was standing. Her tense posture immediately relaxed and he knew that had done the trick. Until she took off running toward the edge of the cliff again.

This time Remus was careful not to take his eyes off her. Sure enough she went off the edge, shrieking loudly. What the hell, he asked himself again. Then she popped up again before his very eyes and he had his explanation.

She's Apparating! She's diving off the cliff and then Apparating back before she hits the bottom. He watched in dumbstruck admiration as he watched her jump a couple more times. And Snape thinks she's boring? He definitely must be watching the wrong woman. Yet I'm glad it's me witnessing her being this free.

Analise had the most odd feeling that someone was watching her but as she stared into the dark she saw no one. It's late. I should be getting back home, she thought as she noticed the time. She grabbed her telescope and began to make her way home.

Their was a whisper of noises behind her and she had the distinct feeling of being followed. She turned around quickly but didn't see anything in the darkness so she continued walking again. Until she distinctly heard footsteps trailing behind her. Her heart thumped hard in her chest and she thought quickly on a course of action. She Apparated behind where she heard the noises so she could see who was following her.

She allowed her eyes to focus on the softly lit shadow in the darkness. There was no mistaking the tall form. Remus?

Remus glanced around with distraught for Analise. Where did she go?

Analise watched him searching the darkness for her. What the hell is he doing, she wondered. She watched him conjure a portable fire and her curiosity was piqued further so she Apparated up a tree for a better look.

Remus pulled out a pinch of floo powder after he had conjured the fire and began desperately calling for Severus. What felt like eons later a very disheveled looking Snape appeared in the fire.

"What is it Lupin?" Snape asked irritably through a yawn.

"The Glimmer has blitzed." Remus whispered urgently, using the secret codes in case he could be overheard. He watched Snape's eyes snap open, instantly awake.

"How in the bloody hell did that happen." Snape demanded.

"I don't know. One minute it was Glimmering and the next minute it had blitzed. You need to get your ass down here and help me look." Lupin said.

Without a word Severus huffed out of sight. Next thing Remus knew Snape had Apparated next to him looking very put out.

"How did you lose her you idiot? She's the most boring person ever. Yet you managed to lose her." Snape said gruffly.

"You want to be a little more quiet and discreet? You never know who's watching." Remus said guiltily. "And she's not boring." He insisted as an afterthought.

Analise watched and listened from her perch in the tree as a silent tear slid slowly down her cheek and wondered why they were searching so desperately for her. Lying jackass. Why would Hogwarts professors be spying on me, she thought furiously before she Apparated home, leaving them searching fruitlessly for her. Good! Serves them right. What do they want with me, she pondered as she listlessly toyed with the gold locket her aunt had left her.
