* Just thought I'd put in a disclaimer as of course the Harry Potter series
belongs to the great J K Rowling but Accalia Snape and I think the
storyline is all mine!!! *
Chapter Two: No one has to know
*~Main POV~*
Accalia sat at the table between her brother and Remus.
"Hello Severus," said Accalia smiling.
"Accalia," smiled Snape.
Remus looked at Accalia in amazement as he saw Snape smile.
"How did you do that?" asked Remus.
"What?" asked Accalia confused.
"Severus Snape actually smiled!" said Remus.
"He says it's because I remind him of our mother. He loved her very much..." Accalia began explaining.
"What do you mean loved?" asked Remus.
"She died, when I was eighteen. Huh, that's a good...ten years now..." said Accalia.
"I thought lady's weren't supposed to tell people their age!" said Remus rather cheekily.
"Ah, you know how to add up!" smiled Accalia almost as cheekily, "So, you went to school with my brother, so you must be..."
"Don't say it..."pleaded Remus jokingly
"Thirty eight!" said Accalia in mock horror.
"Oh I'm so old!" sulked Remus.
"No you're not!" said Accalia seriously.
"Thanks," smiled Remus
*~Accalia's POV~*
This man is something else. We get on so well though I'm not sure Severus was all that impressed but I don't really care. Oh, and his eye's. Gorgeous amber eyes. Every time he looked at me and when he smiled, this is so cliché, well, they sparkle! It sends shivers down my spine.
*~Remus's POV~*
This woman is amazing. I can't believe she isn't married or at least have a boyfriend. I loved watching the way her full lips would curve as she smiled. Of course she wouldn't take one look at me. Stupid old werewolf, deluding myself.
*~Main POV~*
"Accalia..." whispered Severus
"What!" snapped Accalia as he interrupted her conversation with Remus.
"Be careful around him... he's not what you say...normal," sneered Snape.
"What on earth on are you talking about? Anyway, what is normal?" snapped Accalia again beginning to turn back round to Remus.
"Being a werewolf isn't," whispered Snape.
"What?" whispered Accalia eyes wide as her head snapped back to look at Severus.
"He's a werewolf," stated Snape.
Accalia turned back to Remus still in shock.
"Are you alright?" asked Remus seeing the expression on her face.
"Yeah...Yeah, I'm fine," lied Accalia not daring to look Remus in the eye.
Remus looked at Accalia wonderingly
At the end of the lunch Dumbledore asked Accalia aside.
"Accalia, would you please come to see me after your last lesson of the day? I would like to speak to you," said Dumbledore
"Sure, Professor Dumbledore," smiled Accalia
"Call me Albus," said Dumbledore
"Oh, sorry. Albus," said Accalia
*~Accalia's POV~*
I'm sitting at my desk in the classroom at the end of the day knowing I have meet Albus but I can't stop thinking about what Severus has said. The words keep echoing in my head, ' He's a werewolf.' Remus is a werewolf. I can't believe it.
*~Remus's POV~*
What happened? We were getting along so well and then... I don't know. She couldn't even look me in the eye. Snape must have said something...Wait a minute...He's told her, he's told her what I am!
*~Main POV~*
Accalia sat in Dumbledore's office waiting for him. Five minutes later and Dumbledore walked through the door.
"Sorry I'm late," he apologised sitting down behind his large desk, "So how have you found your first day?"
"It was good...I think! The student's seemed to like me. Look, Albus, I know you didn't call me here to talk about that," said Accalia seriously.
"I believe Severus has informed you of Remus Lupin's...situation?" stated Dumbledore.
"Not in the best way to be honest...I didn't know what to say to him," muttered Accalia.
"I think you should tell Remus..." stated Dumbledore.
"No!" snapped Accalia.
"Accalia. Be reasonable!" pleaded Dumbledore somewhat calmly.
"I am being reasonable! If I tell anybody it will be in my own time. I haven't even told Severus yet so I don't see why I should tell a man I have just met!" yelled Accalia rising from her seat.
"He'll understand. He might be able to help you," said Dumbledore.
"I don't need any...help! "snapped Accalia. "Look, Albus," began Accalia calming down, "Nobody needs to know. It will not disrupt my lessons, I've told you how well I recover afterwards..."
"That is quite amazing," interrupted Dumbledore.
"Yes, but until I'm ready..." continued Accalia, "I'm not telling anybody that I'm a werewolf."
*~Accalia's POV~*
I haven't talked to Remus for a week. Not to be horrible, of course. I just don't know what to say to him. It's not like I could say anything to him,
"Oh, yeah by the way Remus I know you're a werewolf. And guess what, I'm one too!"
He probably hates me by now. I don't want him too though. We got on so well that first night and not to mention I fancied the pants off him. Again with the lovesick teenager...It's just...I can't stop thinking about him.
I'm such an idiot! Why do I always push people away?
Should I go to see him?
*~Remus's POV~*
She hasn't spoken to me for a week. I don't know what to say to her to...to, well I suppose 'break the ice'. Snape must have said something to her. He has to ruin everything!
I don't know why I care so much. I only talked to her for an hour yet...I can't stop thinking about her. I don't know there's something about her plus she is so beautiful...
I have to see her!
*~Main POV~*
Remus let his second year class out a bit early and set off to the transfiguration room. He knew that she didn't have a lesson last that day.
"What am I doing?" Remus muttered out loud as he reached the door of Accalia's classroom.
He swallowed hard before knocking lightly.
Accalia looked up from her desk as somebody knocked on the door.
"Come in!" called Accalia not knowing who it was.
Remus stepped into the room. Accalia sitting at her desk quickly stood up.
"Remus!" squeeked Accalia, "What do you want?...I mean...Oh, I'll shut up now."
Remus chuckled, "I just thought I'd come to see how your first week has gone."
"Yeah. It's gone really well, I think!" smiled Accalia, "Come and sit down...If you want!" "Oh, okay," said Remus walking up to the desk, "So, how are you settling in?"
"My room a bit grotty actually, probably because it used to be Severus's but I'm brightening it up though so it should be nice," explained Accalia.
"I like what you've done with this room. Definitely brightened it up!" said Remus.
"The student's seem to be enthusiastic about the lessons. Maybe that has something to do with the new room..."said Accalia.
"Maybe it's because of you," muttered Remus quietly.
"Pardon?" enquired Accalia.
"I said maybe that's true!" lied Remus.
"Oh..." murmured Accalia.
"Okay..." said Remus sounding rather uncomfortable, "I'd better... go."
Remus motioned towards to the door, his hand clasped around the handle.
"Wait!" called Accalia walking from behind her desk.
Remus let go of the handle and turned to face Accalia.
*~Accalia's POV~*
"Why did I do that?" I ask myself.
"Yes?" he asks. His voice seems to falter slightly.
"I...wanted to ask you about...lesson plans..." I say.
Okay, I'm lying but I... just want him to stay!
"Oh," he says rather dejectedly.
"I'm just a bit confused because Professor McGonagall didn't leave any proper lesson plans for the seventh years so I'm not sure what to do next with them..." I continue
Okay, that is true. I was completely up shit creek with that! Maybe he could help.
"That's strange..." he murmurs, "She was normally so organised but I suppose the circumstances were difficult..."
"Yeah, "I mutter.
"I found Professor McGonagall's book for the higher years lessons," I say as I walk over to the bookcase.
I pull the large, heavy book out and turn around to have Remus standing very close to me.
*~Remus's POV~*
I follow Accalia up to the bookcase and stand behind her. I don't notice how close I am to her until she turns around. She looks up to me smiling nervously, her green eyes sparkling slightly. I glimpse at her lips and imagine what it would be like to kiss her. I suddenly come to my senses and clear my throat.
"Sorry" I murmur as I move aside to let Accalia past.
"Thanks" she mutters moving past me, not looking up at me.
Smooth move, Moony, smooth move!
She sits at her desk and opens the large book strangely effortlessly, its cover slamming on the desk.
"Remus?" she says looking at me, almost beckoning me over.
I stand behind her, looking over her shoulder.
"Here..." Accalia says pointing at a page, "She's marked these spells out but I don't know if they are ones she has done or was going to do...I've had to ask the class what spells they have done in sixth year... I must have sounded so stupid!"
"You're not stupid!" I say.
She turns to look at me smiling. This time our faces are inches apart. I swallow slowly as I smell the aroma of her perfume, roses and something...I can't put my finger on it. Something familiar.
*~Accalia's POV~*
I turn to look at Remus smiling. Our faces are just inches apart. His breath seems to get caught in his throat. I swallow slowly as I smell the tang of his spicy aftershave.
"So..." I whisper swallowing again, "What do you think I should do?"
"Maybe you should...um...you could..." Remus says something else but I'm not really listening as I stare in to his eyes. His gorgeous amber eyes.
I nod as if to agree to whatever idea he has. I don't care anymore. My eyes travel down the bridge of his nose, down to his lips...
*~Remus's POV~*
Merlin's Beard! She's so close. Her emerald eyes, so beautiful, looking straight into mine. Did she... did she just lick her lips? Calm yourself, Moony, you're seeing things...
She mumbles something and turns to look back at the book.
Before I know what I'm doing I put my hand round her small face, pulling her back to face me. She looks at me shocked as she places her small hand over mine.
"Accalia...?" I whisper.
"Remus...?" She whispers.
This is it, Moony, keep calm! Again I'm acting like a teenager.
I have to kiss her or I might burst.
*~Accalia's POV~*
I catch his large hand in mine as he pulls me to face him.
He whispers my name. I'm nearly melting at this point. He's starting to lean in.
Is he going to kiss me? Only one way to find out.
*~Remus's POV~*
I want her so much...
*~Accalia's POV~*
I want him so much...
Oh, just thought you'd might like to know that the name Accalia actually means 'She-Wolf'. Aren't I clever?! *
