Chapter 8: Halloween Part 2
Accalia's POV
There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I walk into the hall looking rather stupid when I follow Severus and Tonks feeling like a outsider as they stroll into the great hall, arm in arm.
I suddenly hear squeals from beside me as Ginny and Hermione run up to me.
"Accalia, you look amazing!" exclaims Ginny.
"So do you. And Hermione, has Ron seen you yet because you'll have him on his knees!" I say.
"Wait until you see Remus, he looks ten years younger!" says Hermione.
"What did you do to him?!" I ask teasingly.
"You'll see in a minute. He's arriving with Harry and Ron," says Ginny.
I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay
Remus's POV
"Come on Remus! Stop pissing around with your jacket!" snaps Ron as we rush down the corridor.
"Language!" I snap light-heartedly.
"Yes, Professor!" says Harry mockingly.
"Watch it Mister Potter! He might take house points away!" exclaims Ron jokingly as we finally reach the hall.
"Right. Where is my lovely girlfriend and my LITTLE sister?" says Ron eyeing Harry, emphasizing the word little.
"Get over it Ron!" snaps Harry looking around the hall.
Ron searched the hall with his eyes then saying,
"Ah, there they are with... Bloody hell! Is that...?"
And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you deep inside
"Accalia," I whisper.
She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I mean that dress looked amazing in the shop but on her...she looks incredible.
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight
Accalia's POV
With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
Hermione and I are at the punch bowl when Ginny appears up behind us.
"The guys are here. Wait until you see Remus," says Ginny pulling me by the sleeve.
"Mind my dress!" I say trailing after her.
"Does my Ron look sexy?" says Hermione as we travel across the hall.
"Ewww," says Ginny, "That's my brother you're talking about! He's not sexy, now Harry...that's a different matter!"
"What makes you think I'm bothered about how Remus looks?" I ask.
Ginny and Hermione both stop and look at me and then ahead of me.
"What...? Is that Remus?" I ask as I stare at this gorgeous man in amazement.
"He kind of looks like a blond James Bond!" says Hermione.
"Who?" asks Ginny.
"Don't worry," I say, "It's a muggle thing!"
And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight
But Remus does. He does look like James Bond in the black tuxedo he's wearing and his hair loosely gelled back. He almost looks like he did in the wedding picture that I had seen. He's gorgeous...even more so.
Main POV
"Ask her to dance," said Harry as he held Ginny close to him.
"I don't know..." Remus murmured.
"Come on! You're acting like a teenager!" said Ginny.
"You would know!" Remus smiled.
"She'll say yes," stated Ginny, "I'm sure of it."
"Alright, I will," said Remus rising from his seat.
At the same moment Accalia was talking to Hermione as Ron stuffed his face with food.
"How can you put up with that?" asked Accalia.
"Sometimes I really don't know!" said Hermione watching Ron pick up a handful of peanuts.
When Hermione turned back to Accalia she stopped dead looking behind Accalia. Accalia turned around to see Draco Malfoy sauntering over to them.
"What does he want?" groaned Hermione.
"Why Accalia, may I say you look beautiful tonight?" drawled Malfoy smarmily.
"Feel free...Um, was there something you wanted Mister Malfoy?" asked Accalia.
"I was going to ask you to dance," grinned Draco.
"As much I would love to, I'm afraid I'll have to decline," said Accalia sarcastically.
Draco looked her rather angrily before leaning in and whispered into her ear,
"I really think you should dance me because I'm sure you wouldn't want me to share your little secret with the whole hall," whispered Draco silkily.
"I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about..." Accalia murmured.
"Oh really?...She-wolf!" spat Draco softly. He smirked evilly as Accalia stared at him in astonishment.
Hermione watched them in intrigue as Accalia and Malfoy talked in hushed voices and then in surprise as Accalia followed Malfoy to the dance floor.
"Where's Accalia?" asked Remus as he found Hermione.
"She's dancing..." murmured Hermione.
"Oh," said Remus.
"...With Draco Malfoy!" she finished, looking at Remus.
"What?" exclaimed Remus as he watched Malfoy with his arm wrapped tightly around Accalia's waist.
Accalia's POV
"How did you find out?" I asked Draco while we dance.
"I heard Professor Snape and Dumbledore talking..." he replies.
"How? Where?"
"They were talking in Professor Snape's office..."
"You were eavesdropping?!"
"No..."
"Yes, you were! I can't believe you could be so underhanded!"
I draw out away from him but he pulls me back into his body.
"I would do as I tell you if you don't want me to tell your lover boy..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Professor Lupin? But I suppose you two deserve each other... I really can't see how anybody can like someone like him. Disgusting werewolf!"
"He's ten times the man you'll ever be!" I say loudly pulling myself from his arms and rushing from the hall.
Remus's POV
I see Accalia rush from past me nearly in tears and Draco Malfoy smirking evilly as he watches her leave the hall.
I march up to him, livid, trying my best not to hit the little bastard.
"What did you say to her?" I spit angrily as I grip his throat and the collar of his shirt.
"Remus, what do you think you are doing?" I hear Albus bark from behind me.
"He upset Accalia..." I growl gripping his throat tighter, "I'll ask you again, what did you say to her?"
"Ask her," Malfoy rasps before pulling himself from my grasp.
"Fine, I will!" I snarl turning to leave.
"I doubt that she'll want to see YOU!" croaks Malfoy rubbing his neck.
I suddenly feel an arm across my chest. I turn to see Snape literally looking down his nose at me.
"If anybody is going to see her it will be me, her brother, not an old werewolf!" Snape sneers before disappearing out of the hall.
Main POV
"I can't believe he would have the nerve to say that about Remus," muttered Accalia as she paced her room.
All of a sudden there was a sharp knock at the door.
"Accalia, are you there?" said a familiar voice.
"What do you want Severus?" asked Accalia.
Snape tried to open the door but Accalia had put a strong spell on it and though he could try, Snape would not be able to over power Accalias' will to keep the door locked.
"Are you alright? Re... Lupin said you were upset," said Snape through the door.
"I'm okay," lied Accalia.
"Come on, let me in! I'm not going to talk to you through a door!" pleaded Snape.
"Fine."
And with that the lock on the door clicked open. Snape found Accalia sitting on the end of her bed.
"Accalia...What happened? Did Draco Malfoy say something?" asked Snape as he sat down beside her.
"He knows," she said simply.
"H...How?" he whispered understanding what she meant.
"He overheard you and Albus talking in your office."
"I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?" snapped Accalia rising from her bed, "Malfoy is going to hold this over me for as long as I keep it a secret."
"I can tell him not to tell anyone..."
"Come off it! He's a Malfoy! Maybe I should tell..."
"No! No, you're not telling anyone!"
"Why not? Are you ashamed? Ashamed of me?"
"No...of course not...I just..."
"Yes you are. I can see it in your eyes... You don't anyone to know because it might make YOU look bad!"
"You're jumping to conclusions!"
"Yeah, right!"
Accalia grabbed her cloak from a hook on the wall.
"Where are you going?" asked Snape.
"I'm going for a walk...And don't you dare follow me!"
Remus's POV
"I hope that Accalia is okay," I mutter out loud as I arrive back at my room.
What did that little bastard say to her? I really could have swung for him back there. I walk over to the window. It's a clear night, the stars are out and half moon is shining brightly.
I breathe onto the window steaming it up and as I wipe it away I see a cloaked figure out on the Hogwarts grounds.
The light breeze blows the person's hood off...
"Accalia..."
She looks so beautiful but... she's crying. Snape must have said something to her. He was supposed to be comforting her but instead she's outside walking in the cold.
I close my eyes running my hands through my gelled hair that soon comes loose, when I open my eyes again she's gone.
A few minutes later there is a soft knock at the door.
Accalia's POV
The light breeze blows my hood down as I walk the paths of the Hogwarts grounds, the gentle wind dries the tears on my cheeks.
I really don't know why I cry so much. It doesn't...help anything. Oh, here they come again!
Out of the corner of my eye I see a dim candle light coming from, what I recognise, as Remus's room.
I've decided, I'm going to see him.
Before I know it I am standing outside his door. I inhale deeply and gently tap on the door.
I hear footsteps and the door opens.
"Accalia?" says Remus surprised.
"I don't where else to go. You're the only one I can talk to," I say sincerely.
"Come in," he says softly.
I finally updated! Does a little dance! Okay calm down...but yay! Still working on my GCSE's but I'm on study leave soon so... Well, I know I'm supposed to be studying but you're allowed to have a bit of fun because amazingly I do enjoy writing this!
All right, down to business. The next chapter could make it go up to an R but it doesn't have to as a friend and I have thought of how I could have that scene and it would still have all the feelings and everything without being too graphic! I know it could be so well...amazing if I can get it right! If anybody has any ideas it will really help! Any input will be brilliant!
Oh, and the song is called The Way You Look Tonight by Elton John. Don't ask me why but I just heard it on the radio and it just fitted with the story...Don't you think?!
Thanks
