Chapter 14: Let The Truth Be Known.
It was Friday and Accalia was in her second lesson of the day with the seventh years when Cassius decided to visit her.
"Don't mind me. Just come to see my lovely daughter teaching," smiled Cassius sitting down in a chair at the side of the classroom.
"Thank you, Father," smiled Accalia embarrassed.
"Now, can anybody tell me the incantation for transforming a lion into a throne," asked Accalia looking around the classroom.
As normal only Hermione's hand shot up.
"Anybody else...? Go ahead Hermione," sighed Accalia.
"The incantation is Leomagestum," stated Hermione knowingly, or so she thought.
"That is not exactly right..." murmured Accalia.
Suddenly Ron fell off his stool, crashing heavily onto the ground. The whole class started laughing. His head appeared a moment later peeking over the desk.
"Hermione...got something...wrong!" stuttered Ron, his eyes wide.
The whole class began laughing even harder as Hermione went red.
"That's enough!" laughed Accalia, "I'm sorry Hermione but the incantation is actually Leomagestunum."
"Oh," murmured Hermione embarrassed.
"Don't worry Hermione. Everybody makes mistakes... Yes Mr Malfoy?" sighed Accalia as Malfoy raised his hand.
"I have a question," smirked Draco.
"Yes...well? Is it relevant to this lesson?" sighed Accalia.
"Not really. But you should answer it shouldn't you? Being a professor," sneered Malfoy.
"Fine. Go on then," smiled Accalia falsely.
"If two werewolves have sex and then have a baby... does it become a werewolf as well?" sneered Malfoy smiling evilly.
"Why...why do you want to know?" said Accalia calmly, "Why ask me?"
"I just thought you would know..." grinned Malfoy wickedly.
"If you read your textbooks you would know that you have to be bitten by a werewolf to become one," smiled Accalia coolly, "So there is your answer."
"Right I want everyone to follow me outside for a demonstration where I can show you the Leomagestunum spell," said Accalia as the students stood up.
--
"You're a very good teacher," said Cassius to Accalia in her office after the lesson.
"Thank you Father," smiled Accalia.
"You handled that young man Malfoy very well. His father is in Azkaban, you know, awaiting the dementors' kiss," stated Cassius.
"I heard something about it from Remus," said Accalia clearing her desk.
"Remus? Oh yes! He's the werewolf isn't he?" muttered Cassius sitting down.
Accalia stopped what she was doing and sat down next to her father.
"Father...He's not the only werewolf in the school," swallowed Accalia.
"Really?"
"Um, yes there's one other..." whispered Accalia, "Me."
Cassius sat there for moment before uttering,
"Oh."
"Oh? Is that all you are going to say?"
"Look, don't be angry with me Accalia."
"What?"
"Well, I sort of already...knew..."
"What?!" exclaimed Accalia standing up, "What do you mean sort of? Who told you? Severus?"
"Your aunt Mabel," said Cassius get to his feet.
"That can't be. She died twenty years ago," said Accalia puzzled, "I was bitten only eight years ago. How?"
"Merlin! I told your mother we should have told you," muttered Cassius pacing.
"Told me what?" asked Accalia.
"Come and sit down Accalia and I will tell you everything," said Cassius sitting back down.
--
Remus sat at his desk as his class sat silently writing everything they knew about vampires. The trio sat at the back quietly chatting. Remus wouldn't have minded if he hadn't heard Accalia's name spoken.
"She can't be, Hermione, she can't be a werewolf! She doesn't look like one and if you haven't noticed she hasn't missed any lessons around the time of the full moons," whispered Harry.
"I suppose, but why would Malfoy ask her that?" retorted Hermione.
"Cos he's a bastard!" hissed Ron.
"Excuse me you three at the back but can you get on with your work rather than sit there gossiping," said Remus getting up.
"Sorry Professor," muttered Hermione along with apologetic mumblings from Harry and Ron.
Remus walked over to the trio's desk and said,
"Hermione? Can you watch the class for a little bit for me? I need to go and see someone. Make sure no one starts any trouble."
"Of course Professor Lupin," smiled Hermione.
And with that Remus made his way to Accalia's classroom. Though he knocked on the door no answer came. He had stepped through the door, scanning the area when he heard voices from the office. Remus knew it was wrong but as he moved to the door he couldn't help but put his ear to the door and listened.
"Well Father? What do I need to be told?" said Accalia.
"Accalia, do you know what your name means?" began Cassius.
"No...I asked Mother once but she just changed the subject..."
"Your name means 'She-Wolf'..."
"What?"
"When you were born Aunt Mabel came to see you with your Grandmother. While they were there Aunt Mabel had a vision...She always had them but they never turned out to be right so we didn't take any notice..."
"What did she say? It must have been important!"
"She said that sometime in your future you would have an encounter with a werewolf. That it was your destiny, nobody could change your fate..."
"If you didn't believe her then why call me Accalia?"
"You were already called Accalia, Aunt Mabel said it was also..."
"Fate! Yes, you said! I can't believe this! Why didn't you tell me?"
"We didn't believe it important! Look Accalia, I never thought it would happen!"
"But it has hasn't it? If you had told me I could have been prepared!"
"Prepared? You couldn't have stopped it!"
"I know that! Father I have hated myself for eight years. If I had known I could have stopped what I did!"
"What? What did you do Accalia?"
"I killed someone."
"Accalia...I...don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything! The Ministry of Magic ruled it as accidental death as I didn't know what I was doing but...I'll never get over the guilt, not fully."
"We should have told you. I'm so sorry Accalia," whispered Cassius enveloping Accalia in his arms.
Accalia sobbed into her Fathers chest. He was the only person that made her feel safe apart from Remus.
"Does Severus know...that you killed someone?" said Cassius handing Accalia his handkerchief.
"No...and please don't tell him," sniffed Accalia wiping her clammy cheeks, "I'll decide if or when I tell him."
"Okay. I love you Accalia," whispered Cassius stroking her cheek, "My beautiful daughter."
"I love you too Father," smiled Accalia embracing her father.
Remus pulled his ear from the door. He stood for a second in amazement before rushing back to his classroom.
Accalia was strolling down the corridor to her quarters after dinner. She had a feeling Remus was angry with her or something. Normally they stole glances and smiled at one another but today...
As she walked past Remus's room she noticed light peaking through the cracks of the door.
"Remus?" called Accalia knocking on the door.
"What?" came very un-Remus like reply.
Accalia pushed the door open and entered the room. Remus was sitting on his bed holding a picture frame.
"Remus? Are you alright?" whispered Accalia resting down beside him.
"Yeah, I suppose," said Remus placing the picture back by the side of his bed.
"Remus, I told my father..."
"Yeah I know..."
"How?"
"Please forgive me Accalia. I couldn't help it. I came to see you and I heard voices from your office. I was going to come back later but I couldn't help but listen."
"So you know...I can't believe you would listen to a private conversation."
"You would have told me though...Right?"
"Of course I would have! I tell you everything!"
"Accalia, I've been thinking. Since I found out about what's happened to me over the last week. How come I have aged from being a lycanthrope but you haven't...?"
"Oh. Well that might be the one thing I haven't told you. Not because I didn't want to it's just I didn't think it important. After I attacked Tristan I went back to stay with the elves. They used their own elvish medicine to help me. Their medicine is very different from wizarding medicine and lasts...a long time. Probably the rest of my life. That's why I recover faster after my transformations and I suppose it might have something with me staying looking my age..."
"I can't believe this. I've had to live like this, in pain and alone," sighed Remus standing up.
"You're not alone anymore. I promised you that," said Accalia wrapping her arms around his waist from behind.
"Don't do this," snapped Remus pushing Accalia away, "Maybe you do understand in some ways but in other ways you can't. You do not know what it's like waking up in the morning, doubling over in pain and not being able to move."
"Maybe I don't. But I do know the pain when I transform. When my back feel like its being broken and my head feels like it's going to explode...Don't you remember what Albus told you? You will begin to feel better, and I'll be there. I want to ... I want us to be together when we transform," said Accalia walking up to Remus.
"What about Severus?" asked Remus stroking Accalia's soft hair.
"I'm not going to tell him," whispered Accalia resting her head on Remus's strong chest.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" whispered Remus.
"I promised I would never leave you. And as long as I live you'll never be alone again," said Accalia looking up at Remus.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," smiled Remus, "I'm there for you no matter what. I'll never give you up."
"Promise?" smiled Accalia cheekily.
"Cross my heart," said Remus crossing his chest with his hand.
"Accalia. There might be a little problem. I think Hermione is a little suspicious of you. She was telling Harry and Ron she thought you were a werewolf," said Remus leading Accalia to his bed.
"Ah. Probably something to do with the question Malfoy asked me in class," said Accalia lying down next to him.
"Hermione said something about that. What did the little wretch ask?" murmured Remus as he inhaled the scent of Accalia's hair as he fiddled with it.
"He asked if two lycanthropes had a baby, would it be a werewolf as well?" said Accalia amused.
"Pardon?" exclaimed Remus stiffening slightly, "You're not pregnant, are you?"
"No, of course not!" laughed Accalia sitting up and turning to look at Remus, "Don't worry!"
"Well whenever we've made love we haven't used a contraceptive spell," said Remus also sitting up sounding slightly worried.
"You didn't, I did! We may have been lost in the moment but I was still thinking about it. We've only been together for a week! I don't want little Accalia and Remus juniors running around just yet!"
"Yet?" said Remus smiling.
"Never say never!" smiled Accalia, her voice soft, "Wouldn't you like to be a daddy?"
"I'd never thought about it before. Do you want to be a mother?" said Remus thoughtfully.
"Not just yet," smiled Accalia pushing Remus back onto the bed, "But until then..."
"We can have some fun!" smirked Remus cheekily as Accalia leant down and kissed him fervently.
--
The month passed quickly and it was soon the day of the full moon. Accalia would be able to spend some time with Remus even if it was as a wolf. She hadn't really seen him as she had spent a lot of time with her Father.
Accalia had just drunk her potion and was in her room in the dungeons when Snape arrived.
"Accalia, I'm afraid I can't watch you tonight. I have a...prior arrangement that I just remembered about," said Snape.
"Oh. Okay Severus," mumbled Accalia not quite believing her brother, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
"I hope so," said Snape as he left.
As soon as Snape had left Accalia grabbed some of her belongings and made her way to Remus's room.
--
Remus sat on the bed in his room watching the sky grow dark outside when Accalia slipped her arms around him.
"Hello," purred Accalia as Remus kissed her fingertips.
"I'm glad you're here," smiled Remus turning to face her.
"I've missed you," whispered Accalia softly kissing Remus.
"Me too...It's cloudy tonight," said Remus glancing behind him.
"I hate it when it's cloudy," murmured Accalia walking over to the window, her hand still entwined with Remus's.
"Hmmm," murmured Remus wrapping his arms around Accalia's slender waist, resting his head on her shoulder.
Accalia turned to Remus and began to undo his shirt.
"What are you doing?" asked Remus holding her arm.
"You don't transform with clothes on, do you?" said Accalia bemused.
"No...It's just...I've never had somebody do it for me before," said Remus.
"Well you better get used to it," whispered Accalia as she resumed her undressing of Remus.
The couple undressed each other caringly and then finally stood in their underwear. The clouds in the sky began to shift and the moon began to come into sight. Accalia glanced up to the moonlight and turned back to Remus,
"I love you Remus."
"I love you Accalia," said Remus pressing his lips against Accalia's lips.
Accalia could feel her body changing but the pain seemed to become dulled, as she stayed connected with Remus. Remus moaned in discomfort, but strangely not in pain as his body altered to its werewolf state.
Accalia felt herself, and heard Remus, fall the ground as she blacked out.
When Accalia woke up she became aware of something nudging her and as she opened her eyes, familiar amber eyes stared back.
"Remus?" she thought in her mind, "Can you hear me?"
"Accalia? Are you alright?" thought Remus as Accalia got gingerly to her feet, rather paws actually.
"I'm fine," thought Accalia as she nuzzled into Remus neck.
"I was worried," thought Remus nuzzling Accalia back.
"It didn't hurt as much as it just felt uncomfortable," thought Accalia.
"I actually feel quite good. I feel like going for a run!" smiled Remus, well so far as he could in his present physical state.
"We can't though Remus, as much as I would like to," smiled Accalia leaping up onto the bed and laid down.
Remus jumped up with her and laid down next to her.
"I think you are a very beautiful wolf," thought Remus staring into Accalia's emerald green eyes.
"Then I shall say that I think you're a very fine-looking wolf," thought Accalia smiling, resting her head on her front paws on a pillow.
"I wish we could stay like this forever," thought Remus.
"Like werewolves?" thought Accalia worried.
"No! I mean just us two...together...in bed..." thought Remus smirking.
"That I could do forever!" thought Accalia laughing.
And with that they fell asleep.
--
Accalia woke early in the morning, the sun had just began rising. Opening her eyes they fell on the most wondrous sight. Remus lay fast asleep breathing softly, a small smile on his slightly pouted lips. His dark golden hair lay softly over his eyes. How any women could not fall in love with this man at that moment Accalia didn't know.
Accalia grabbed her dressing gown from her belongings and wrapped it around her body. She walked across the room and rested on the sill of the bay window. Bringing her knees into her chest she looked back her sleeping lover and then outside to watch the sun slowly rise out of the horizon.
--
When Remus awoke he was upset by the space next to him until he saw Accalia over by the window. She looked so beautiful as a smile touched her full lips, her eyes closed as she breathed gently. Remus eyes wandered up her slim exposed leg and up to the curves of her hips and chest. How he loved her.
Remus rose from the bed and wrapped the white sheet from the bed around his well-built waist.
"Accalia?" whispered Remus.
"Remus," smiled Accalia standing up, moving up into his arms, "How do you feel?"
"Rested," answered Remus sighing contentedly, "Do you think I should teach today?"
"Only if you're ready," said Accalia wandering over to the bathroom.
"I've never been more ready for anything," smiled Remus following after Accalia.
"Imagine the children's faces!" laughed Accalia as Remus turned on the shower.
"Room for one more?" enquired Accalia rather cheekily.
"I'll always have room for you," smiled Remus taking hold of Accalia's hand.
--
"Don't forget my Father is finally leaving today!" laughed Accalia as Remus wrote his lesson note on the board before his last lesson.
"You know you'll miss him when he's gone!" smiled Remus while Accalia leant out of the window to look at the snow that was beginning to fall on that first day of December.
"Of course I will. It's just that I haven't really got to see you. Don't get me wrong I love spending time with Father...but I have terribly missed you," smiled Accalia resting her upper body on Remus's desk.
"Uh huh," muttered Remus who was more preoccupied with staring down Accalia's top.
"Wha...? Remus John Lupin! Would you please refrain from looking down my top?!" gasped Accalia in mock surprise.
"Oh! Um Accalia...it's not my fault! You know what it likes after the full moon plus you must realize the effect you have on me," exclaimed Remus realising what he had been doing.
Accalia just laughed, "Believe I perfectly understand!"
Soon came the sound of voices as the students made their way to their lessons.
Accalia leant forward across the desk and softly holding his chin she kissed Remus full on the lips. Resting his forehead on Accalia's Remus whispered,
"I never get tired of that!"
"Me neither. I'll see you later," breathed Accalia with satisfaction before again kissing him tenderly.
Remus watched after Accalia as she strolled over to the door, her hips mesmerising him as they femininely swayed. He never thought he could be that happy, he was so glad Accalia had come into his life. Remus knew he could never live without her.
Accalia glanced back at Remus and smiled. He looked so content in himself and right there and then Accalia promised herself she would never let anything or anybody spoil it.
The students went quiet as Accalia opened the door.
"Accalia? Are you teaching the lesson today?" said Ron.
"Oh no! I am afraid I'm too busy," smiled Accalia, "He's waiting inside."
"Who?" asked Hermione.
"Professor Lupin," smirked Accalia as she began walking down the corridor and disappeared around the corner.
"What?" exclaimed Harry rushing into the classroom closely followed by the rest of his classmates.
"Good morning class," smiled Remus as the students stared at him in amazement, "Stop gawping you lot and sit down."
"Wasn't it a full moon last night Professor Lupin?" enquired Hermione.
"Yes it was, Hermione. Why do you ask?" smirked Remus enjoying the pupils' reactions.
"Um, no reason..." murmured Hermione looking down at her desk as Remus began his lesson.
Great another chapter done! I think just one more chapter before Christmas at Grimmauld Place. Let's just say things are going to happen! Things like doors being left unlocked and interesting stupid drunkenness. That is going to be so much fun to write! ;)
Hope you like the chapter!
Thanks

Don't forget read and review!
24th June - Sorry but I haven't updated. I will update either tonight or at the latest tomorrow morning! I have found a way to break up my story when I change scenes in the chapters so people won't be so confused!

"Look, don't be angry with me Accalia."
"What?"
"Well, I sort of already...knew..."
"What?!" exclaimed Accalia standing up, "What do you mean sort of? Who told you? Severus?"
"Your aunt Mabel," said Cassius get to his feet.
"That can't be. She died twenty years ago," said Accalia puzzled, "I was bitten only eight years ago. How?"
"Merlin! I told your mother we should have told you," muttered Cassius pacing.
"Told me what?" asked Accalia.
"Come and sit down Accalia and I will tell you everything," said Cassius sitting back down.
--
Remus sat at his desk as his class sat silently writing everything they knew about vampires. The trio sat at the back quietly chatting. Remus wouldn't have minded if he hadn't heard Accalia's name spoken.

"Well you better get used to it," whispered Accalia as she resumed her undressing of Remus.
The couple undressed each other caringly and then finally stood in their underwear. The clouds in the sky began to shift and the moon began to come into sight. Accalia glanced up to the moonlight and turned back to Remus,
"I love you Remus."
"I love you Accalia," said Remus pressing his lips against Accalia's lips.
Accalia could feel her body changing but the pain seemed to become dulled, as she stayed connected with Remus. Remus moaned in discomfort, but strangely not in pain as his body altered to its werewolf state.
Accalia felt herself, and heard Remus, fall the ground as she blacked out.
When Accalia woke up she became aware of something nudging her and as she opened her eyes, familiar amber eyes stared back.
"Remus?" she thought in her mind, "Can you hear me?"
"Accalia? Are you alright?" thought Remus as Accalia got gingerly to her feet, rather paws actually.
"I'm fine," thought Accalia as she nuzzled into Remus neck.
"I was worried," thought Remus nuzzling Accalia back.
"It didn't hurt as much as it just felt uncomfortable," thought Accalia.
"I actually feel quite good. I feel like going for a run!" smiled Remus, well so far as he could in his present physical state.
"We can't though Remus, as much as I would like to," smiled Accalia leaping up onto the bed and laid down.
Remus jumped up with her and laid down next to her.
"I think you are a very beautiful wolf," thought Remus staring into Accalia's emerald green eyes.
"Then I shall say that I think you're a very fine-looking wolf," thought Accalia smiling, resting her head on her front paws on a pillow.
"I wish we could stay like this forever," thought Remus.
"Like werewolves?" thought Accalia worried.
"No! I mean just us two...together...in bed..." thought Remus smirking.
"That I could do forever!" thought Accalia laughing.
And with that they fell asleep.
--
Accalia woke early in the morning, the sun had just began rising. Opening her eyes they fell on the most wondrous sight. Remus lay fast asleep breathing softly, a small smile on his slightly pouted lips. His dark golden hair lay softly over his eyes. How any women could not fall in love with this man at that moment Accalia didn't know.
Accalia grabbed her dressing gown from her belongings and wrapped it around her body. She walked across the room and rested on the sill of the bay window. Bringing her knees into her chest she looked back her sleeping lover and then outside to watch the sun slowly rise out of the horizon.
--
When Remus awoke he was upset by the space next to him until he saw Accalia over by the window. She looked so beautiful as a smile touched her full lips, her eyes closed as she breathed gently. Remus eyes wandered up her slim exposed leg and up to the curves of her hips and chest. How he loved her.
Remus rose from the bed and wrapped the white sheet from the bed around his well-built waist.
"Accalia?" whispered Remus.
"Remus," smiled Accalia standing up, moving up into his arms, "How do you feel?"
"Rested," answered Remus sighing contentedly, "Do you think I should teach today?"
"Only if you're ready," said Accalia wandering over to the bathroom.
"I've never been more ready for anything," smiled Remus following after Accalia.
"Imagine the children's faces!" laughed Accalia as Remus turned on the shower.
"Room for one more?" enquired Accalia rather cheekily.
"I'll always have room for you," smiled Remus taking hold of Accalia's hand.
--
"Don't forget my Father is finally leaving today!" laughed Accalia as Remus wrote his lesson note on the board before his last lesson.
"You know you'll miss him when he's gone!" smiled Remus while Accalia leant out of the window to look at the snow that was beginning to fall on that first day of December.
"Of course I will. It's just that I haven't really got to see you. Don't get me wrong I love spending time with Father...but I have terribly missed you," smiled Accalia resting her upper body on Remus's desk.
"Uh huh," muttered Remus who was more preoccupied with staring down Accalia's top.
"Wha...? Remus John Lupin! Would you please refrain from looking down my top?!" gasped Accalia in mock surprise.
"Oh! Um Accalia...it's not my fault! You know what it likes after the full moon plus you must realize the effect you have on me," exclaimed Remus realising what he had been doing.
Accalia just laughed, "Believe I perfectly understand!"
Soon came the sound of voices as the students made their way to their lessons.
Accalia leant forward across the desk and softly holding his chin she kissed Remus full on the lips. Resting his forehead on Accalia's Remus whispered,
"I never get tired of that!"
"Me neither. I'll see you later," breathed Accalia with satisfaction before again kissing him tenderly.
Remus watched after Accalia as she strolled over to the door, her hips mesmerising him as they femininely swayed. He never thought he could be that happy, he was so glad Accalia had come into his life. Remus knew he could never live without her.
Accalia glanced back at Remus and smiled. He looked so content in himself and right there and then Accalia promised herself she would never let anything or anybody spoil it.
The students went quiet as Accalia opened the door.
"Accalia? Are you teaching the lesson today?" said Ron.
"Oh no! I am afraid I'm too busy," smiled Accalia, "He's waiting inside."
"Who?" asked Hermione.
"Professor Lupin," smirked Accalia as she began walking down the corridor and disappeared around the corner.
"What?" exclaimed Harry rushing into the classroom closely followed by the rest of his classmates.
"Good morning class," smiled Remus as the students stared at him in amazement, "Stop gawping you lot and sit down."
"Wasn't it a full moon last night Professor Lupin?" enquired Hermione.
"Yes it was, Hermione. Why do you ask?" smirked Remus enjoying the pupils' reactions.
"Um, no reason..." murmured Hermione looking down at her desk as Remus began his lesson.
Great another chapter done! I think just one more chapter before Christmas at Grimmauld Place. Let's just say things are going to happen! Things like doors being left unlocked and interesting stupid drunkenness. That is going to be so much fun to write! ;)
Hope you like the chapter!
Thanks
