Chapter 16: Of Train Journeys and Arriving
"Aren't you going to introduce us Tonks?" said the red haired woman glancing at Accalia after Tonks announcement, still in the office.
"Oh, sorry. Molly this is Accalia Snape, Accalia this is Molly Weasley," introduced Tonks.
"Pleasure to meet you," smiled Accalia shaking Molly's hand.
"This is my husband Arthur," introduced Molly.
"You're Severus's sister, eh?" smiled Arthur.
"Yes. Hard to believe I know," joked Accalia also shaking his hand.
"Thank you Accalia," murmured Snape.
"These two are my sons Fred and George," said Molly indicating to the carroty-haired twins behind her.
"Mother, we can introduce ourselves," responded the twins, "I'm George...And I'm Fred. Entrepreneurs of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes."
"Charmed I'm sure," laughed Accalia.
"This is another of our sons, Charlie," smiled Arthur.
A young man about twenty-five, with spiked up auburn hair and had toned and muscular arms, stood up from his chair, which was slightly hidden in shadow. He wore black vest top and brown leather trousers. Accalia had felt his eyes on her as she had entered the room.
"Accalia, I've heard a lot about you from your father. I've worked with him on many of occasions, though he had never mentioned how lovely you are," said Charlie smoothly, kissing Accalia's hand.
Accalia blushed slightly and laughed nervously as she sensed Remus's irritation in the air,
"Lovely to meet you Charlie."
"Very slick," muttered the twins.
--
Soon it was the end of the term and on the twenty-first, the group made their way to Grimmauld Place by train. Being Christmas the train was very busy but luckily they found two compartments next to each other.
"Let us in Ginny!" snapped Ron as Ginny and Hermione held the door shut.
"No! This is a girls only section!" laughed Ginny.
"It's a long time since I've been called a girl," smiled Molly.
"You don't look a day over twenty-one!" smiled Tonks.
"Thank you Tonks," laughed Molly.
"Fine!" shouted Ron through the door, "We'll just have go and talk about you somewhere else."
"Fine!" called Ginny back, "You just do that!"
"Boys!" murmured Hermione dropping down on the seat next to Tonks.
"Awww. Young Love!" joked Accalia.
"Talking about love, Charlie seemed to lurve you Accalia!" implied Tonks.
"Don't talk silly," dismissed Accalia.
"I think he does," said Ginny, "Don't you think so Mum?"
"I don't see why not, you're very lovely Accalia," smiled Molly, "I do find hard to believe you are Severus's sister though."
"Half sister actually. We have the same mother but different fathers," explained Accalia.
"Oh, so you're younger than him... by how much?" asked Molly.
"Ten years," said Accalia.
"That's why he's so over protective," said Tonks.
"How do you mean?" enquired Molly.
"Well..." began Tonks as she explained everything.
--
"What are you looking for?" snapped Ron as Fred searched through his case.
"Eavesdrop Ears," said Fred simply.
"A variation on our extendable ears,"said George.
"You're not going to listen to their conversation, are you?" asked Charlie.
"Of course!" exclaimed George.
"I don't think you should," said Remus.
"Why not? You're not our teacher anymore Remus!" smiled Fred pulling the Extendable Ear from the case, "Loosen up a bit, Remus! Dad wouldn't mind if he was here."
"But of course they made him work. A bit out of order if you ask me!" said Charlie.
"What are they saying?" asked Ron eagerly.
"If you hush up I'll be able to hear!" snapped Fred pressing the ear onto the wall.
--
"How's it going with Harry?" enquired Molly motherly.
"Um, good..." murmured Ginny embarrassed.
"Well you know you can always come to me if you need to know anything about relationships..." smiled Molly.
"Mum!" hissed Ginny completely and utterly mortified.
Tonks and Accalia looked at each other and nearly burst into laughter.
"Right...um," murmured Hermione trying to change the subject, "I've got a question! If you had to kiss any one guy who would it be?"
--
"All of you have to hear this!" exclaimed Fred grabbing a funnel shaped object from his case and attached it to the end of the ear. The men listened intently as the conversation continued.
--
"You first Tonks, if you had to kiss anyone who would it be?" came Hermione's voice.
"Well...From experience I would have to say...Severus," said Tonks.
"Ewww," exclaimed Ginny, "From experience Tonks? Tell me you haven't!"
"She can't," laughed Accalia, "AND she had to tell me first!
"This information can't leave this room!" exclaimed Tonks giggling.
--
"What a sly old dog Snape is!" remarked George, "Wish he was here now!"
"What is Tonks thinking?" exclaimed Ron.
"Shut up," exclaimed Fred as the conversation began again.
--
"Ginny...? It can't be Harry," said Tonks.
"Um...well I hate to say it but...Draco Malfoy..." muttered Ginny.
"Right...Well Ginny you have to work on your taste of men," laughed Accalia.
"Hermione?" enquired Tonks
"Seamus..." murmured Hermione
"Finnegan? I think Hermione has to work on her taste of men too!" laughed Ginny.
"Okay...Molly. You," said Tonks.
"Tonks... I couldn't possibly," muttered Molly.
"Don't be such a prude!" exclaimed Tonks.
"Out of anybody?" murmured Molly.
"Yes," said Hermione.
"This is slightly embarrassing...Remus?" smiled Molly.
Accalia looked at Molly in surprise along with the others.
"Really Mum?" said Ginny.
"Yes," murmured Molly, "Is that bad?"
"Um...no! Have you seen him recently? He's gorgeous!" exclaimed Hermione.
"Oi! You're supposed to be going out with my brother...but Remus is nice isn't he?" smirked Ginny.
"Definitely!" said Tonks, "Don't you think so Accalia?"
Tonks knew full too well how Accalia felt about Remus, ever since Halloween. Accalia had been sitting chewing on her finger while they had been talking. She had to admit she didn't like what they had been saying. Remus was hers. She was entirely and utterly jealous.
"Huh? Oh! Yes. Remus is very handsome," whispered Accalia.
"He's not bad naked either," thought Accalia to herself.
"So you would kiss him?" asked Tonks coyly.
Accalia didn't want to create suspicion so she lied and simply said,
"No. I'd kiss Charlie actually."
Tonks looked at her surprised.
"Oh Charlie will be pleased!" smiled Molly.
"Please don't tell him! None of this should leave this room understand? Agreed?"
"Agreed," chorused the women.
--
"I can't believe Ginny wants to kiss Malfoy of all people!" exclaimed Harry.
"Don't worry Harry. You know Ginny's crazy about you," smiled Remus
"Get in there Charlie!" sang the twins, "Sounds like Accalia likes you."
Remus wouldn't say anything out loud but he couldn't deny he had a touch of the green-eyed monster. Accalia was his. Deep down he knew Accalia only said it to stop anybody asking questions but still...he was totally jealous.
"Accalia is fit!" said Harry.
"Hell yeah!" exclaimed Ron, "I mean the boobs on that woman!"
"That's enough!" snapped Remus.
"It's just a bit of fun!" said Harry.
"You do not talk about teachers like that! Especially woman teachers. It's demeaning," snapped Remus.
"Sorry Remus," mumbled Harry.
"Accalia is twenty-eight, right?" asked Charlie hesitantly worried about Remus's reaction.
"Yeah...I think so," said Ron, "Why?"
"I'm twenty-six. I'm younger than her..." began Charlie.
"That doesn't matter," said George.
"I know that!" continued Charlie, "I was just thinking... wouldn't I be her toyboy?"
The men snorted with laughter, except Remus, and then Ron said,
"And Remus would be Mum's toyboy!"
Even Remus laughed at that as the men went into hysterics.
--
They had been on the train forty minutes when Accalia decided to go for a wander.
As she strolled down the corridor the train suddenly stalled and she lost her balance and fell forward...straight into the arms of...
"Charlie?" murmured Accalia as he helped her stand up.
"Accalia, are you all right?" asked Charlie still holding onto her waist.
"I'm fine," mumbled Accalia glancing down at Charlie's hand that was on her waist that she began to feel gradually slide up her side. She slowly backed away from him.
"I'd better get back..." murmured Accalia.
"Yeah. I'll see you later," smiled Charlie as he headed up in the direction of the buffet cart.
"See you later," called Accalia turning back to return to the compartment.
--
After an hour and a half on the train and another thirty minutes on the knight bus they finally arrived outside Grimmauld Place.
"Everybody repeat after me," began Tonks, "The Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London."
Every person did this and suddenly a battered door emerged from between eleven and thirteen Grimmauld Place.
The group made their way up the stairs following Tonks. Tonks pulled out her wand and topped the door once. There were many loud metallic clicks and what sounded like the clatter of a chain. The door slowly creaked open.
"Come inside. Quick!" called Tonks as she disappeared through the door.
Once inside they all stood in the dark hallway as Tonks lit the lamps down the hall.
"Who touched my bum?" exclaimed Ginny suddenly.
"Oh Sorry Ginny. I thought you were Hermione," exclaimed Ron.
"Ewww! Ron!" exclaimed Ginny.
As soon as Tonks had lit all the light the hallway was actually relatively bright. Molly made a beeline for the kitchen.
"I'll make everybody a hot chocolate," she called from the kitchen.
The Twins, Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Harry ran up the stairs with George calling,
"Last one upstairs gets the shittiest room."
"GEORGE! DON'T SWEAR!" yelled Molly.
Charlie chuckled and then said,
"I'll carry your case up for you."
"Oh... Thank you Charlie," smiled Accalia as he disappeared up the stairs. She was about to follow him when Remus grabbed her arm.
"He likes you," stated Remus.
"I know," said Accalia.
"No, I mean he really likes you," said Remus.
"Yes...I know," said Accalia.
"We heard what you said...about who you wanted to kiss," said Remus.
"You know I didn't mean it. It didn't mean anything!" said Accalia, "You know why I said it?"
"Yes of course but...I have to admit I was jealous," admitted Remus.
"You were jealous? You heard what the girls were saying about you. I felt like saying 'Stop it! He's mine. Leave him alone!' but obviously I couldn't..."
"I'm yours am I?" smirked Remus moving in close to her.
"You're mine, you're all mine," purred Accalia running her finger along his jaw.
Remus brushed his lips against Accalia's before deepening the kiss.
"I've been wanting to do that all day," breathed Remus.
"Me too," whispered Accalia before kissing him softly again.
"Come on. Let's go and find a room," smiled Accalia.
"Together?" smiled Remus.
"You wish!" laughed Accalia as she carried her guitar and Remus carried his case upstairs.
--
"My room's between to Hermione's and Ginny's, they're sharing, and yours," smiled Accalia as she leaned in the doorway of Remus's room.
"Good," smiled Remus pulling Accalia into the room and slamming the door behind her.
"You know it's going to be hard...we are not going to be able to have much time alone," said Accalia as Remus wrapped his arms around her waist.
"It'll just have to be midnight rendezvous and fleeting glances at the table at mealtimes," said Remus dramatically.
"You're so daft!" laughed Accalia draping her arms around Remus's neck.
"That's why you love me," smiled Remus sweeping a strand of hair from Accalia's face.
"That's one of the many reasons, yes," whispered Accalia softly.
"Hot chocolate is ready!" came the muffled voice of Molly.
Soon a rumble of feet stampeded down the stairs.
"We'd better go and join them," said Accalia motioning towards the door.
"Wait!" said Remus.
"What?" questioned Accalia turning back to him.
"I love you," whispered Remus stepping up to her.
"I love you too," smiled Accalia gazing in his eyes adoringly, "Now...I think it's time for that hot chocolate."
--
Aha! Another chapter. Not my best I know but I promise the next chapters will be good. It will be Tonks birthday...that will be...interesting. Lol. You might think the Charlie thing has been sorted out...WRONG! He has a lot more to put into the story! And of course there will be more Remus/Accalia!
