Chapter 6: Matters of the Heart.
*~Main POV~*
A month passed and once again Accalia woke up at the crack of dawn on a very wet and rainy October morning. She loved the room her brother had created for her and put the piano and guitar to good use.
This morning she woke up with the normal headache and the usual cuts and scratches on her arms and legs.
That's why she always wore trousers for a week after her transformation but she always wore long sleeves for the reason that her left arm bore the teeth marks of the werewolf that had attacked her.
Accalia left her bed and got dressed. She sat down at the piano and played a few notes.
*~Accalia's POV~*
Remus and I have become really good friends over the past few weeks.
Friends'...just friends...
*~Flashback ~*
I decided to go to visit Remus. I was pretty sure that he didn't have a class. I knocked on the door.
"Enter!" called Remus's voice.
I walk through the door to see Remus... and a class full of seventh years.
I was wrong.
"Oh, I'm sorry Remus. I'll...I'll come back later," I stuttered.
"No... I mean stay," smiled Remus.
"Yeah, come on!" said Harry," We're just about to practice the Patronus spell."
The rest of the class nodded in agreement.
"If you're sure..." I murmured stepping into the room.
"You can sit next to me," drawled Draco Malfoy.
"I'd rather sit next to a goblin," I sneered sounding rather too much like my brother. The whole class laughed as Malfoy went a rather nice shade of pink.
I sat down at a free desk across from Harry, Hermione and Ron. The Famous Trio!
Anyway, on with the story.
I watched as Remus started talking to the class. I gaze at him dreamily.
"Come on," I tell myself, "You are just friends. Nothing else!"
I loved the way he had a laugh with the class but still taught so well. I could tell the students loved him as well especially Harry. Remus had told me about all that had happened to Harry, the things that the Daily Prophet and even Rita Skeeter hadn't got hold of. In fact we had talked about a lot.
"Right class we'll move our desks out of the way and start practising the spell," said Remus reaching in to his pocket, "Huh. I seem to have left my wand in my office."
"I'll get it for you," I said getting up and disappearing into his office.
His office and mine was basically the same, cosy with pictures of historical figures and ex teachers. I spotted his wand on his desk. As I walked over to it I saw a picture on the desk. I couldn't help but look at it.
Picking the photograph up I found it was a wedding scene with a bride and groom, a rather handsome man with dark hair whom I presumed was Sirius Black from how Remus described him and then it was Remus himself.
"Phwoar," I whispered, as I looked closer at the picture. Remus was gorgeous, I mean, he was gorgeous now but...God!
"Accalia, did you find it?" called Remus sticking his head round the door, "Oh you've found my photograph."
"Oh, yeah!" I said placing it back on the desk, "Oh, here's your wand!"
I picked up his wand and handed to him.
"I didn't know Sirius was so good looking..." I said.
"He always did get all the girls," smiled Remus stepping back out into the classroom.
"You weren't too bad yourself," I smiled raising my eyebrows.
"Well, you know..." boasted Remus jokingly.
"Yeah, I do," I whispered as Remus continued his lesson.
*~End of Flashback ~*
If we were just friend I wouldn't feel this way. I wouldn't have said those things.
I could pretend my heart doesn't break every time I look in his eyes. How I feel like I'm going to faint every time we touch. I could deny it makes my heartbeat faster when he smiles, laughs, imagining him kissing me, me kissing him. I would savour every touch, every intimate moment...
I could pretend I haven't fallen head over heals in love with Remus Lupin.
*~Main POV~*
Remus woke aching all over, his muscle in spasms and his head throbbing. Dumbledore had given him a wonderful room to stay in during his transformations and for that he was thankful. It was better than that old shack he was made to stay in during his school days.
Remus gingerly sat up. He walked to the bathroom and peered into the mirror. His face was pale and gaunt. He got dressed carefully minding that he didn't aggravate the cuts on his arms and legs. Remus rested back on to his bed and stared out of the small window of his room. He exhaled heavily in frustration, placing his head in his hands.
*~Remus's POV~*
I wish Accalia was here...Wait a minute. Did I really just say that?
But we're just friends'. Nothing more...
*~Flashback ~*
Accalia was late for dinner so I decided to go and find her. I tried her teacher quarters and she wasn't there so I went to her classroom.
I opened the door to find Accalia on the floor. There were puddles of water everywhere but I couldn't help but laugh.
"What happened here?" I chuckled.
She looked up at me from her place on the ground and glared at me.
"We were transfiguring animals into goblets and the students forgot to empty the goblets before changing them back," she stated trying to get back on her feet.
"Here, let me help you," I said reaching out my hand. She placed her small hand in mine and tried to stand up straight.
She wobbled trying to catch her balance. It didn't work and she fell into me and I caught her in my arms. We both looked at each other embarrassed since her chest pressed into mine as she breathed heavily.
I'm sure I felt my heart do double flips at this slight... touching...
"Well," she said pulling out of my grip sounding embarrassed," I should really clear this up."
Pulling out her wand the patches of water disappeared.
"I just came to see if you were ever going to come to dinner," I said.
"What time is it?" she asked. Then she looked at her watch.
"Shit," she whispered.
"Come on," I said opening the door,"I'm starving."
"Okay," she smiled as she linked her arm in mine as we walked the Great Hall.
*~End of Flashback ~*
Because we are just friends I shouldn't let her get to me like this. I shouldn't have felt those things.
I could pretend my heart doesn't ache every time I think about how I can't be with her. I could prevent myself from wanting to wake up beside her every morning, to watch her as she sleeps. I could stop imagining kissing her, touching her, making love to her...
No matter what I do I can't deny I haven't fallen hopelessly in love with Accalia Snape.
* Another chapter done! I quite like this chapter... I know I said I was going to put some overprotective Snape in it but I'm saving it for the next chapter...Hogsmeade and Halloween! I might not update as quickly as I have coursework to do for my GCSE's. So annoying but I have to do it. Such a bloody hassle... Anyway, just have to bring this up... Do you think I should bring in, well you know, the thing that could make the rating go up? I'm not sure... But I do think it will show a lot of the feelings that need to be seen. What do you think?
Thanks
