Chapter 7: Hogsmeade and Halloween Part 1.

Hogsmeade

Main POV

That last weekend of October was to be busy seeing that there was the trip to Hogsmeade and the Halloween Ball

Accalia was just getting changed when there was a knock at her door.

"Accalia, it's Severus," said Snape

"Just coming!" she called.

Five minutes later and she was ready. She wore her normal deep purple robes with a long sleeved black v-necked pullover, hip-hugging dark blue denim bootleg jeans and brown corduroy stiletto boots.

"You look nice...trying to impress someone?" asked Snape coyly.

"No, I always I try to look nice," said Accalia smiling.

"Of course, anyway I was going to ask whether you were going to Hogsmeade but obviously you are so..." said Snape as they started walking down the hall.

"Yep, I'm going to be looking for something to wear tonight," smiled Accalia.

"Well the teachers are going to The Three Broomsticks for a drink if you want to come..."

"Yeah, sure. Who's going?"

"Some of the staff and we're meeting some other friends there. One is a metamorphmagus..."

"I used to know a girl metamorphmagus when I was training as an auror and as you know that went out the window. That bloody werewolf had the worst bloody timing. Anyway, what the name of this metamorph?"

"Tonks."

Accalia stopped in her tracks.

"Tonks? Nymphadora Tonks?"

"Yes... Do you know her?"

"Do I know her? Tonks! I can't believe it! I haven't seen her in like eight years! Wow! I can't wait to see her!"

Accalia's POV

"I really hope Remus is going to Hogsmeade," I think to myself as I walk down the corridor of the train.

Wandering down the corridor my guitar case battered my legs. I really don't know why Severus had told me to bring it but I did as he said.

I stroll past a compartment when I hear...him. I heard Remus' laugh ring through my ears. I smile and inhale slowly. I can smell him on the air. Werewolf senses! They do come in useful sometimes! And this time they do as the door as the compartment door opened and I have to jump out of the way.

There stands Remus, leaning in the doorway. He's wearing black trousers and a burgundy coloured shirt, the top two buttons undone... he then rests his head against the doorframe smiling rather, well, cheekily if I didn't know any better. God, why does he have to do that!

I hate the week before the full moon and the other week after it. I can't believe the smallest things like that turn me on so much. God, I wonder whether Remus feels like this. Um, maybe I shouldn't think about that...

"Accalia, come in. It's only me, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny," smiles Remus taking my guitar case from my hand.

"Alright then," I say moving in to the compartment.

"Professor Snape, come and sit here," smiles Hermione tapping the seat beside her.

"I told you, call me Lia. Accalia at least," I smile sitting down.

"I see you've got your guitar with you," says Remus as he put it up on the shelf above, opposite me.

"Um, yeah," I say swallowing hard eyes travelled down to his bottom...

"So you heard about the talent thing at the Three Broomsticks then?" asked Harry.

"Huh? Um, no...Severus just told me to bring my guitar...Bastard! He is going to try to get me to sing!" I say realising what Severus has done.

"Is that a bad thing?" asks Ron.

Hermione shoots him a glare and then says,

"No, of course not. I'm sure she'll be brilliant, won't she Remus?"

Remus's POV

I hear Hermione say something but I'm too busy staring at Accalia's breasts. Damn that bloody full moon, I swear if I didn't know any better I would think I'd been thrown in a lake of testosterone!

"Sorry Hermione. What did you say? I didn't hear..." I murmur.

"I said Accalia would be brilliant at singing at the Three Broomsticks," says Hermione sounding slightly annoyed.

"Oh, yeah. Definitely," I say smiling. Accalia smiles back.

To kiss her again...Merlin's beard! I better not get too excited...

We talk for the rest of the journey until we finally arrive at Hogsmeade station.

"Where are we going first?" asks Ginny as we step off the train.

"Well, I'm going to the Three Broomsticks first," says Accalia.

"Want to get on the stage quickly?" says Harry.

"No, according to my brother somebody I used to know is going to be there," Accalia says.

"Who?" I ask.

"Tonks," she replies.

"You know Tonks?" I say surprised.

"Yeah, it's a long story... I'll tell you later," she says.

Main POV

Remus and Accalia were walking down the street to the Three Broomsticks when they passed a robe and dress shop, Mage Monicas'.

Accalia unexpectedly stopped and pulled Remus by the arm up to the window of the shop.

"Oh Remus, isn't it beautiful?" said Accalia clutching Remus' arm tight in excitement.

In the front window on a mannequin, was the most exquisite dress Accalia had ever seen. The dress was black and sapphire velvet. The top was a sapphire coloured corset and off the shoulder with long elegant black sleeves, the skirt was down to the floor, black at the top merging into the sapphire blue down to the base of the dress.

"Yeah, it's amazing..." said Remus earnestly.

"Do you think it will suit me?" asked Accalia.

"What?! I mean, yes of course, but have you seen how much it is? That's a nearly a months wages!" said Remus.

"So?! I have to get it!" said Accalia disappearing off into the shop.

Remus shook his head, smiling in disbelief.

Five minute later Accalia reappeared with a bag.

"Hope that dress is worth it," said Remus as he opened the door of the Three Broomsticks.

"I think so," said Accalia walking past Remus as he held the door for her.

Remus stopped and looked around the busy tavern.

"Ah, there they are," said Remus pointing to a table in the corner.

He started to walk to the table and Accalia followed behind him. There sat Professor Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Tonks.

"Ah, Remus. Good to see you. Nothing like a nice butterbeer to calm the nerves," said Dumbledore as the two sat down, "I've already got you two a butterbeer."

Snape and Tonks were deep in conversation and didn't notice when Accalia sat down opposite them.

"Pink hair, Tonks. Pink! You never change!" said Accalia loudly to get Tonks attention.

"Who do you think...? Accalia? Oh my God! Accalia!" squealed Tonks leaning over the table pulling Accalia in to a hug.

As Accalia leant over the table Remus glanced down at her bottom. As he looked back up Dumbledore smiled at him knowingly.

"What?" Remus mouthed innocently.

The two women broke the embrace and sat down

"Accalia, I can't believe it's you. I haven't seen you in, what, eight years? When you had to stop Auror training because..."

Accalia silenced Tonks as she shook her head vigorously.

"Because what?" enquired Remus sipping his butterbeer.

"Um...She got wizard flu?!" blurted out Tonks quickly.

Accalia looked at her exasperated.

"Ooh, that can be horrible if you get it that later in life. You're supposed to have when you're young, aren't you Albus?" said Remus.

"Yes, you are but not everyone is the same," said Dumbledore convincingly, "Why don't Remus and I get another round?"

"But..." stuttered Remus

"Come along, Remus," said Dumbledore rising from his seat.

Accalia's POV

"You haven't told him!" exclaims Tonks.

"Keep your voice down! No, not yet..." I snap.

"Not ever!" snaps Severus.

Tonks and I looked at Severus in surprise.

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"Well, you don't need to tell Lupin...that you're a..." says Severus.

"A werewolf. You can say it Severus. Saying isn't going to make me transform and bite you in the privates!" I scoff.

Tonks stifles a laugh.

"Plus I'm not very happy that Tonks knew you and about your condition all this time and didn't tell me!" says Severus almost sulking.

"She told me not to. I would never break Accalia's confidence," says Tonks sincerely.

"Just going to go to the, well you know," murmurs Severus heading off towards the toilet.

Tonks watches him leave and then turns back to me,

"Come on, spill,"

"What?" I ask.

"You and Mr R J Lupin!" says Tonks rather loudly.

"Shhhh. There's nothing to 'spill', Nymphadora!" I say.

"Don't call me that!" she moans.

"Sorry..." I smile.

"So, back to you and Remus..."

"There is no me and Remus!"

"Come off it! Did you see the way he looks at you, the way you look at him?"

"We're just friends..."

"Who fancy the pants off each other?"

"Tonks!"

"I'll shut up if you can look me in the eye and swear that there is nothing between you and Remus..."

Tonks looks at me expectantly. I look at her but then groan, holding my head in my hands.

"Ha! I knew you liked him!" says Tonks in triumph.

"I don't just like him," I mumble into my hands.

I look up to see Tonks looking at me confused.

"I think I'm in love with him."

Tonks stares at me stunned.

"Are you serious?"

"Deadly."

Remus's POV

Albus and I must have been waiting for at least ten minutes.

"It's probably busier because of this talent show on today," say Albus.

"Yes, probably," I say in agreement, "Accalia is supposed to be performing something."

"Really...?" says Albus coyly.

I hate it when Albus like this, he can be rather young at heart sometimes. Rather annoying really.

"What are you implying, Albus?" I ask.

"You and Accalia have become good friends," he states.

"Yes, and..."

"I'm just saying..."

"No, you're not!"

"I've seen the way you look at her."

"Whatever you say..."

"I can see it's not just lust..."

"Albus!"

It is quite disconcerting hearing Albus talk about this kind of thing.

"You should tell her..."

"Tell her what?"

"That you love her..."

"How did you...?"

"It's really not that hard to see...if you know what to look for."

All of a sudden masses of Hogwarts students came rushing through the doors of the tavern.

"Welcome one and all to The Three Broomsticks. Today in honour of our favourite day on the wizarding calendar, Halloween, we are holding a special talent contest," announced Madame Rosmerta, "So if everybody would like to take their seats, we'll get started."

Main POV

First up were Draco Malfoy and his two cronies did a rap that sounded rather like Eminem's The Real Slim Shady but was called The Real Draco Malfoy.

Quite rightly Hermione, Harry and other students that lived in the muggle world were in fits of laughter and as Malfoy finished he looked rather confused.

Ginny sang a song for Harry, who coincidentally went bright red as Ron gave him a glare somewhere in between shock and immense anger.

"I take it Ron didn't know about Harry and Ginny," whispered Accalia to Remus as he sat down.

"Obviously!" said Remus raising his eyebrows.

"Right, who's going to be next?" said Rosmerta stepping back onto the stage.

"Accalia Snape!" shouted Tonks standing up pointing at Accalia.

"Tonks!" exclaimed Accalia.

"Yeah! Come on!" shouted Hermione.

Everybody in the tavern started agreeing and before Accalia knew it Tonks had handed her the guitar.

"Fine," said Accalia rising from her seat.

Accalia's POV

I can't believe I'm doing this!

I sit down on the stool, checking my guitar is in tune.

As I look out into the expectant crowd I see Remus. He winks at me in encouragement.

I tap on the enchanted microphone to check the sound.

"Um, I'm not really too sure why I'm doing this but seeing as I'm up here I might as well so... I'm going to sing a song that I wrote very recently and hope you like it," I say apprehensively.

I hit the first chord on my guitar and glance at Remus. He looks at me again in encouragement, I relax slightly and sing into microphone.

I've never written a love song

That didn't end in tears

Maybe you'll rewrite my love song

If you can replace my fears

I need your patience and guidance

And all your lovin' and more

When thunder rolls through my life

Will you be able to weather the storm?

I look at Tonks' and she gives me that stupid two thumbs up thing she does. I roll my eyes and almost laugh but then I remember the song.

There's so much I would give, baby

If I'd only let myself

There's this well of emotions

I feel I must protect

But what's the point of this armour

If it keeps the love away, too?

I'd rather bleed with cuts of love

Than live without any scars

Baby, can I trust this?

Or do all things end?

I need to hear that you'd die for me

Again and again and again

Remus says something to Dumbledore and he seems to nod in agreement. Remus turns back to the stage and we make eye contact.

Okay this is it, he has to know...

So tell me when you look in my eyes

Can you share all the pain and happy times?

'Cause I will love you for the rest of my life

Halloween

Accalia's POV

Remus hasn't spoken to me all day, well since Hogsmeade anyway. He must think we are just friends...Damn it! Why did I have to push him away?

At the moment Tonks and I are getting ready for the Halloween ball.

"What colour do you think I should have my hair?" calls Tonks from the bedroom.

"Anything but pink!" I call with a laugh, stepping out of the bathroom.

"Okay, but what colour would go with my dre..." Tonks stops dead as she turns to face me,"Accalia!"

Main POV

"What?" Accalia asked.

"Bloody hell, Accalia, you look beautiful!" exclaimed Tonks.

"So do you..." Accalia says sincerely.

"Come off it, compared to you...In that dress and your hair is amazing!"

Accalia wore the dress that she had bought earlier that day and her black hair was curled in the style of the 1950's. Her eyes were dark with a smoky effect and rouged lips.

"Blonde!" said Accalia suddenly as she finished clasping a gold crescent moon shape pendent around her neck.

"What?" enquired Tonks as she changed her hair from blue spikes to green curls.

"Have your hair blond. Long and curly," stated Accalia.

"Like this?" said Tonks scrunching her nose up as her hair changed once more.

"Yes, that's it! You look wonderful!" cried Accalia.

"Really!?" asked Tonks looking in the mirror.

"Severus will love..."

"Oh no! No way! Don't you dare try and set me up with your brother!"

"Why not?"

"Just because...I don't like Severus in that way."

Suddenly there was a crashing noise from outside in the corridor.

Accalia peeked out of the door to find Snape dusting himself off.

"Bloody cloak. I'll have to shorten it. Where's my wand?"

It was by her door so she picked it up.

"It's here, Severus!" said Accalia.

"Thankssss..." said Severus his eyes widening, looking straight past her.

"What?" enquired Accalia looking behind her, "Tonks?!"

Tonks had morphed her face slightly like Marilyn Monroe's and her breasts had increased in size immensely more than filling the emerald gown she was wearing.

"Well Severus, are you going to be a gentleman and escort me to the ball?" said Tonks walking up to Snape. "Uh, yes. Of course!" said Severus as Tonks linked her arm in his.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure she doesn't like Severus like THAT!" murmured Accalia following after her brother and her friend.

Remus's POV

"Hold still, Professor!" snaps Hermione as she combs my hair.

"Seriously Hermione, I really don't see why this is necessary," I complain.

"You want to look nice, don't you?" said Ginny as she looked through my wardrobe.

"That is a bit of an invasion of privacy!" I say trying to see what Ginny is pulling out of the closet.

"Nonsense!" snaps Hermione, rather violently pulling my face back to look at her.

"Here we go! Let's get you into this!" says Ginny laying a tuxedo on the bed.

"No way! I haven't worn that since James and Lily's wedding. I can't fit into that!"

"Rubbish! Now get in that bathroom and put this on!" says Ginny forcefully, almost punching the suit into my chest.

"Fine! I'm not going to argue with two teenage girls on a mission!" I say disappearing into the bathroom.

Whoo! I'm all written out... for about two minutes anyway! Well actually I won't update till at least Monday evening as I'm going to be away but I might still be able to write if I can use another computer. Anyway I just thought I'd tell you the song is actually by Pink. It's called Love song and it is on her Try This album. And it's not actually the whole song if you hear it or find the words for it cos the last bit didn't really go with the situation...I'm babbling. I'll shut up now... Oh, and one more thing! Once again I'm a bit stuck on what to happen next. I've got a few ideas but any ideas I will be thankful for.

Thanks
