Book of Shadows Part 2

Remus walked down the corridor, it was empty except for one girl who was making her way through the darkness her hand on the wall to guide her. with his enhanced werewolf senses he could see that her hair was a dark colour but it was to dark to tell what colour it was exactly. As he got closer he could smell her scent. He knew that smell...

Remus was so preoccupied that he didn't realise that he was walking on course to the girl until they collided and fell to the floor with a thud. "I'm so sorry!" The girl apologised as she pushed herself up from on top of him although not without rubbing herself innocently against which his body reacted in a rather embarrassing manner. "No it's my fault as well." He saw the girl blushed and she quickly made another apology before she hurried away.

"I would like to introduce you to Professor Lupin our new DADA teacher." Professor Dumbledore said and the hall clapped politely all that is except for one seventh year who was staring at the new professor in shock. She continued staring not even noticing when the Headmaster started the feast or when her neighbour made a comment on her boyfriend 'the headboy' which usually would have sent her into a tirade of insults about Hogwarts treatment of them which would only stop when one of them Silencio-ed her. She filled her plate not even noticing that she'd put some drumsticks on her plate (having been a firm vegetarian since last christmas holidays when her grandfather cooked a rabbit she'd known since infancy-the rabbits infancy not hers.)

"You do know what's on your fork don't you?" Her friend Niel asked.

"eh?" was her very articulate response.

"You have chicken on your fork." He said very slowly as if speaking to a child. She still wasn't paying attention so he grabbed her plate and replace it with a spare and served some stir fry onto it. "Why are you so surprised?"

"Rehvadis." she mumbled.

"What?"

"Remus." She repeated a little more clearly.

"Did someone let you into the ministry library again?" Niel asked obviously wondering who the idiot was who'd let her read greek mythology. She however didn't speak again untill the feast was over.

Dumbledore had sent the students up to bed when Dyre stalked up behind him and naturally wasn't that surprised when the first words out of her mouth were:

"You bastard!"

"Excuse me?" He asked politely.

"You fucked up son of a bitch! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?"

"How could I do what, exactly Miss Athill?"

"Miss Athill?" Remus asked sharply.

"Yes she's a 7th year here. Very talented she even has a position at the ministry on hold for her when she finishes here." He explained.

"TALENTED? I ONLY DID HALF THE WORK HE DID THE OTHER HALF!" She ranted pointing at Remus.

"WHAT?" He growled shocked.

"Oh I didn't mention it?" Dumbledore said innocently "This is Dyre Athill. You remember her from your 5th year don't you? Had a little accident with a time turner." Remus looked completely shocked.

"So... er...long time no see?" She said awkwardly getting a hold of her temper.

"I'll leave you two to get reaquainted shall I?" Dumbledore said as he got out of his seat to leave the table.

"Dyre?" Remus asked tentatively once Dumbledore had left the great hall with what was left of the students.

"Yes. Look I'm really really sorry I didn't tell you I mean there's that whole time paradox thing and the fact that my dad was a seventh year but I still got you the extra credit!"

Remus listened to her babbling but didn't really take it in. "Dyre?" He asked again.

"Yes?"

"You're a seventh year?"

"Yes?"

"You do DADA?"

"Yes?"

"You did kiss me?"

"Yes?"

"Oh Lord I'm mated to one of my students!"

"Ye- WHAT?"

"Dyre you may want to sit down." He said and she dropped into McGonnagal's empty chair next to him. He pondered for a moment which was the best way to tell her but finally decided that the best bet was to be brutally honest.

"Dyre................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I'm a werewolf."
