Here's another chapter. I hope you enjoy it
Chapter 12: Of Interrogations and Visiting Relatives.
It was Monday afternoon and Accalia had just had her last lesson of the day with the Gryffindor and Slytherin seventh years.
"I want that 5 page essay in by Wednesday. No excuses...Mr Weasley..." smiled Accalia as the class began to leave.
"Yes, Accalia," chuckled Ron smiling, "Come on Mione, you'll be the one to finish it first. You can help me..."
"Is that all I'm good for?" snapped Hermione annoyed.
"Of course not! I think of a LOT of things you good for!" smiled Ron wickedly.
"Oh Ron!" smiled Hermione shaking her head in disbelief.
Suddenly there was a crash from outside the door and moments later a dishevelled but happy Tonks sauntered into the classroom.
"Wotcher Harry!" grinned Tonks.
"Hi Tonks!" grinned Harry, "You look very happy with yourself."
"I'm always happy Harry!" laughed Tonks.
"Okay, well, we'll see you tomorrow in Care of Magical Creatures class then," said Hermione as the trio left.
"That's what you're staying here for! You're helping Hagrid teach!" smiled Accalia as Tonks took a seat on a desk.
"I'm not helping him! Merely observing! I just wanted to see what it was like being a teacher!" explained Tonks.
"You know it's quite funny Tonks that you of all people want to know about teaching. When we were training to be aurors you said you couldn't think of anything more boring than being a teacher!" chuckled Accalia.
"A girl can change her mind about things!" defended Tonks.
"Talking of changing your mind about things. I thought that you were staying here at Hogwarts last night..."
"I did!"
"No you didn't! When I asked Severus he said you were staying at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade..."
"What? He must have got it wrong, he must..."
"There's no point in denying it..."
"Denying what?"
"You were 'with' Severus last night..."
"Well," sighed Tonks, "I was with Severus but not in the way you think! I went to see him in his room...we talked..."
"And?" smiled Accalia.
"This is you brother we're talking about you know! Are you sure you want hear this?" asked Tonks.
"All I want to know is that my brother is happy, if this involves one of my best friends then I would like to know," explained Accalia.
"Right, well... we talked and then I kissed him..."
Accalia stuck her tongue out in disgust at this.
"I will gladly inform that you brother is a very good kisser!" retorted Tonks matter-of-factly.
"Right," murmured Accalia scrunching her nose slightly at the thought of her brother and Tonks, in fact anybody with her brother.
"Nothing else happened because he was worried about you and went to check that you were alright. After half an hour he didn't come back so I just fell asleep waiting for him," clarified Tonks.
"Why didn't he tell me where you were then?"
"I don't know...maybe he was embarrassed..."
"Why? Oh...Probably because he had a 'girl' in his room!" giggled Accalia.
Tonks looked at Accalia, a smile began to form and before they knew it the two young women went into fits of laughter.
As the two finally calmed down Tonks said wiping the tears from her eyes,
"So where were YOU? I heard some students saying that you went missing," enquired Tonks.
Accalia stopped laughing immediately and looked at Tonks,
"I went for a walk, Severus pissed me off and I really don't like fighting with him so I left to let off steam and when I came back he had all the teachers and most of the upper school awake at three in the morning, ready to get out on a man hunt for me!"
Tonks seemed to accept Accalia's story, much to her relief and said,
"Bloody Hell! Severus is a bit protective of you isn't he?"
"That's an understatement! He always has been and I expect always will be but I do hope that something or rather someone will take his mind off me?"
"Maybe...If he'll let me."
"He'd be stupid not to!"
"I'll tell you who else is protective of you, Remus!"
"What?"
"When you ran off from the ball he nearly strangled Draco Malfoy. Had him by the neck, Malfoy could hardly breathe!
"I can't believe he did that!"
"Nor can I! I've never seen him that angry!"
"Wow. Never knew he had in him," said Accalia amazed.
"Something tells me there's a lot we don't know about the real Remus Lupin!" exclaimed Tonks
The friend's embraced and Tonks set off in pursuit of Severus Snape.
--
Accalia began clearing her desk and was just putting some books back into the shelf when two arms seized her waist. Accalia spun around and gazed up at Remus Lupin.
"Remus! Seriously anybody could walk in!" beamed Accalia wrapping her arms around Remus neck.
"I know," whispered Remus huskily," It's makes it that more exciting doesn't it?"
Remus motioned down and claimed Accalia's lips. She moaned against him falling back in to the bookcase as he kissed her more and more passionately.
"Remus, I'm sorry... I didn't really see you all Sunday," breathed Accalia while Remus left moist kisses on her throat, "Severus wouldn't let me out of his sight..."
"Don't worry about it," murmured Remus before stopping suddenly.
"Accalia I want to say this again and again and again, so you'll never forget...I love you," said Remus lifting his head to face her, his amber eyes boring into Accalia's emeralds.
"And I love you, never forget that either. Saturday night was amazing wasn't it?" whispered Accalia, her hand sliding from behind Remus's neck to cup his chiselled jaw.
"This is going to sound so corny but I've never felt anything like that before, that...intense!" breathed Remus.
"No, it's not corny. I know exactly what you mean, believe me I do," breathed Accalia before moving up to kiss Remus softly.
"Oh yeah and Tonks told me what you did to Malfoy as well. I didn't know you had it in you," said Accalia smirking.
"He got me so angry. I have never hated anyone so much. He's evil. As bad as his father," seethed Remus getting angry just at the thought of it.
"Hmmm," murmured Accalia, "I kind of like you when you're angry."
"Really?" smirked Remus raising an eyebrow.
"Uh huh," muttered Accalia breathlessly.
Accalia slid her hand into Remus's hand and lead him to her office. Once inside Accalia shut the door behind her as Remus sat on her desk.
"I think I should thank you for dealing with Malfoy for me," whispered Accalia as she put a silencing charm on the room and advanced on a smiling Remus.
--
A while later Accalia collapsed down beside Remus on the large desk, breathing heavily in sync with Remus.
"I can't say I've done that on a desk before," said Remus fastening his trousers.
"Me neither," whispered Accalia slowly buttoning up her open shirt.
"Do you know what?" said Remus sitting up, "I'm famished."
"Me too!" exclaimed Accalia sitting up beside him.
Remus stood up and looked into a mirror by the side of the door.
"Merlin!" murmured Remus running his hand through his hair.
"What?" asked Accalia concerned.
"Look at me Accalia," smiled Remus.
Accalia looked at him. The grey from his hair seemed to be fading, the lines from his face were diminishing and his pallid skin was beginning to fill with colour.
"I don't understand...You look..." stuttered Accalia stunned.
"I look young again! Accalia, it's...it's you. You've made feel more alive than I've ever felt," laughed Remus sweeping Accalia up in his arms.
"You're mad!" laughed Accalia.
"It's true though!" exclaimed Remus kissing Accalia, "Come on, let's go get some food."
Accalia walked to the door and looking back as Remus was still admiring himself in the mirror,
"Get over yourself! Come on, sexy!"
--
Accalia held Remus's hand down the corridor, at that point she almost didn't care if anybody saw, she would gladly let the whole world know that she, Accalia Snape, was in love with the greatest man in the world, Remus Lupin...
That was until Remus's hand slipped out of hers. Accalia looked down at her empty hand and then at Remus.
"Somebody might see us," whispered Remus as they turned a corner.
"Oh, okay," smiled Accalia.
"I love you," whispered Remus.
"I know. I love you too. You don't have to keep saying it," sighed Accalia gladly, "I'll never forget that as long as you're here."
--
Days past and it was soon November the Fifth. It was Thursday and Tonks and Accalia were having breakfast.
"Passthetomatosauceplease," mumbled Tonks her mouth full of scrambled eggs.
"I can see how any man would fall madly in love with you!" smiled Accalia slightly sarcastically.
"Huh?" mumbled Tonks knocking over her mug of juice.
"Nothing," laughed Accalia, "Here's the sauce."
"Thanks. Accalia?" whispered Tonks glancing down the table, "Have you seen Remus lately?
"Yes. Of course. Why?" said Accalia staring down at her plate.
"He looks great! He's like, losing months off him by the day!" exclaimed Tonks, "You should here what some of the girls have been saying in the corridors. I mean he used to look older cos of the werewolf thing and all but now, he looks his age, even younger..."
There were sudden screeches overhead as the owls arrived with the post. A small owl circled above before dropping a letter into Accalia lap.
"Who's that from?" asked Tonks taking a sip of her drink.
"Let me open it," snapped Accalia breaking the seal of the letter.
'My dearest Accalia,
I have not written to you in months and for that I am regretful. I have received news from your cousin Arwana that you have been given the post of Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts along with Severus. I can't tell you how proud that makes me that my only daughter is working at the best wizarding school in England. I hope you are getting along with Severus, I remember when you were children, and he was not the nicest young man was he?
I hope you get this letter in time as I have arranged with Albus Dumbledore for me to visit for a week. I should arrive on the fifth of November so I will see you then.
All my love,
Father'
"Well?" asked Tonks.
"It's from my Father," said Accalia slowly, "He's coming to visit and he's coming today!"
"Really? That's a bit short notice isn't it?" said Tonks.
"I suppose. It probably took a while to get here. He's been working in China with the Dragons," explained Accalia, "I wonder why Albus didn't tell me."
"Dunno. Maybe your Father wanted it to be a surprise," said Tonks thoughtfully.
"My Father is not one for surprises. Believe me! And now I've got to tell him of my... situation," fretted Accalia, "This is going to interesting."
Oooooh, it is gonna be interesting isn't it? More Accalia and Remus of course! And Fireworks! Wink wink. Sorry. Lol!
Thanks to everybody for their reviews, they are building up which can't be bad!
Hope you like the chapter and the next one will be along very soon.
