Before I start, sorry for starting with breakfast again it just seems to happen! Lol! Hope you enjoy the story anyway!
Chapter 18: A Very Wizarding Christmas Part 1
For once Accalia wasn't the last down to breakfast, in fact she was down early enough to help Molly make it. When Charlie appeared Accalia couldn't think of anything to say to him but smiled apologetically as he sat down.
"Could you call everybody down for breakfast, Accalia dear?" asked Molly.
"Sure Molly," smiled Accalia.
As Accalia entered into the hall, Charlie followed.
"Accalia!" said Charlie grabbing her arm, Accalia turned to face him.
"Accalia," continued Charlie, "I'm sorry about last night. I wasn't thinking straight, I mean I wanted to kiss you but it was too fast. I know that now."
"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to throw you off me like that. I hope I didn't hurt you," smiled Accalia regretfully.
"You're a very strong women Accalia but no, I'm okay. Think my arse is a bit bruised though!" joked Charlie.
"Look Charlie before you get the wrong idea, I'm not really looking for any romantic kind of relationship at the moment. Can we just be, you know, friends?" explained Accalia.
"Whatever you want Accalia," smiled Charlie.
"Thanks for understanding," smiled Accalia pulling him into a hug.
Unexpectedly somebody cleared their throat above them.
"Remus!" said Accalia surprised pulling out of her embrace with Charlie, "I was just about to call everybody for breakfast."
"Right," said Remus, his face emotionless.
Accalia smiled nervously as Remus glared at Charlie. She made her way past Remus, who watched her as she moved past him and began knocking on the bedroom doors,
"Breakfast's ready," called Accalia through the doors.
--
"Did you have fun last night?" asked Harry as they ate.
"Yeah, it was great,"said Fred who had finally arrived back.
"It was especially good for you!" scoffed George.
"Tonks got a tattoo!" said Charlie.
"Let's see!" exclaimed Ginny excitedly.
Tonks pulled the collar of her pyjama top to reveal a black rose on her shoulder.
"That is so cool!" exclaimed Ginny.
"Don't even think about it, young lady!" warned Arthur.
"If you think that's cool you should see Accalia's tattoo!" laughed George.
The whole table went silent and all heads turned to look at Accalia. Accalia, whom was starring down at the table, chuckled nervously as she raised her head slightly to meet the eyes of her incensed brother.
"What?" hissed Snape, "You got a tattoo?"
"It's absolutely brilliant. The moon changes colour depending on how you're feeling..." said George not seeming to realise the trouble he was causing.
"A moon?" seethed Snape.
"I think I'm old enough to do what I want, including getting a tattoo!" said Accalia.
"Let me see it!" said Snape suddenly.
"I should be allow...What?" began Accalia before stopping abruptly.
"Let me see it!" repeated Snape.
"It might be on her arse!" joked Charlie.
Ron and Harry looked at Accalia eyebrows raised.
"Charlie! Shut up! It is not on my bum!" exclaimed Accalia, "You want to see it?"
Snape nodded slowly.
Accalia turned her back to him and lifted up her hair to reveal the now amber coloured moon.
"Amber means you're nervous!" smiled Tonks.
Accalia was! She was waiting for her brother's reaction plus having other people peer at you neck is rather disconcerting when you can't see their reactions.
"It's...it's lovely," said Snape in a low voice.
Accalia stopped dead for a moment before turning back to face her brother utterly stunned.
"Eh?" was all Accalia could muster.
"It suits you," smiled Snape.
"Come again?" whispered Accalia still in a state of shock.
"I said it's lovely," repeated Snape.
"Right...er okay," mumbled Accalia relaxing slightly, "Thanks, I think."
Ron and Harry once again looked at each other with eyebrows raised and then went back to their breakfast closely followed by the rest of the table.
Tonks winked at Accalia reassuringly.
--
Accalia was sitting in her room reading when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," called Accalia placing her book on the side table.
As she stood up Remus came through the door.
"Remus," smiled Accalia rushing up to him.
Remus pushed her away rather harshly as he walked over to the window.
"What's the matter?" asked Accalia worriedly.
"What's happening between you and Charlie?" whispered Remus still staring out of the window.
"I beg your pardon?" whispered Accalia affronted.
"You heard," spat Remus.
"There is nothing going on!" stated Accalia.
"That's not what I saw," said Remus turning to look at Accalia.
"The hug?" murmured Accalia.
"Yes. 'The Hug'" murmured Remus.
"It was just a friendly hug," explained Accalia walking up to him.
"It maybe to you but to him... We both know he likes you. It won't be long before he tries something," said Remus sliding past her.
Accalia stopped where she was and sighed knowing that she was going to have to tell Remus...
"He already has,"breathed Accalia turning to Remus.
Remus who'd been staring at the ground suddenly looked Accalia straight in the eye.
"What did he do?" asked Remus through gritted teeth.
Accalia didn't say anything.
"What did he do?" yelled Remus grabbing Accalia's arm.
"Ow. Remus you're hurting me," whimpered Accalia as she saw the anger in Remus's eyes.
Remus suddenly realised what he was doing and let go of her arm.
"Accalia, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," he whispered.
"It's my fault. I probably led Charlie on or something. But I want you to know that as he kissed me I pushed him off me," explained Accalia.
"He kissed you?" asked Remus sounding hurt.
"Yes. I didn't kiss him back though," explained Accalia.
"Why not? He much better suited to you, more your age and you seem to get on well with him. Plus he's a good-looking bloke, much better than an old werewolf like me," said Remus.
"I can't believe you're saying this. I didn't kiss him back because..."
"Because what?" interrupted Remus.
"Because he's not you!" said Accalia tears welling up in her eyes, "I don't want anybody else but you! I'll never want anybody else!
Accalia could feel the first tear fall down her pale cheek. She looked at Remus whom was standing there, no emotion in his face gazing straight at her.
"How can you stand there looking at me like that?" exclaimed Accalia starting to get angry.
Remus didn't move or say anything. Accalia turned away from him, trying hard to calm herself. Still Remus didn't make any attempt to communicate to her.
Accalia grabbed the post of her bed and nearly broke it in half as she lost her temper. She turned back to face him.
"How can you stand there and say those things?" seethed Accalia, "Are you that insecure? Can't you see how much everybody loves you? How much I love you?
"I know they do but..."whispered Remus trailing off.
Accalia threw her head back and covered her face with her hands. She tried to hold back her tears. But she couldn't. She looked back at him, tears streaming down her face.
Remus suddenly started moving towards her.
"No..." whispered Accalia holding out her hand to stop him, "No!"
"Accalia...I didn't want to upset you," whispered Remus stopping.
"Well you did!" cried Accalia, "I don't want Charlie! I want you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you! I want to tell the whole world I'm in love with you and only you! I want to tell everybody that we love each other!
"Why don't we then?" said Remus boldly.
"What?" whispered Accalia astonished.
"Why don't we tell them, tell everybody?" said Remus moving closer to Accalia.
"Really? I thought you didn't want to," said Accalia as Remus brushed a tear off her cheek.
"I've been an idiot, a complete idiot," said Remus, "I thought you wouldn't want to tell people because you were ashamed."
"Why would I be ashamed? You have been an idiot!" smiled Accalia playfully punching his arm.
"When shall we tell them then?" asked Remus pulling Accalia into his arms.
"How about Christmas Day? Everybody will be in a happy mood even Severus," smiled Accalia as Remus smiled in agreement.
"Talking of Christmas. I would have come out with you last night but I was getting your Christmas present," smiled Remus.
"Really? What is it?" goaded Accalia.
"That would be telling wouldn't it!" whispered Remus into Accalia's ear.
Accalia groaned as Remus kissed the nook below her ear.
"Remus," breathed Accalia, "Somebody might come in."
Remus glanced passed Accalia at the en-suite bathroom door.
"Nobody would come into the bathroom..." murmured Remus.
"What do you mean?" asked Accalia.
"Ever shared a bath with someone?" enquired Remus.
Accalia shook her head as Remus led her into the bathroom.
--
The champagne glasses clinked together as the couple relaxed in greatly foamed bath.
"This was a great idea," sighed Accalia resting back in the bath.
Remus groaned in agreement.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Accalia?" called Tonks's voice.
"Maybe not!" whispered Accalia sitting up.
"Can I come in?" called Tonks.
"Er...wait a moment," called Accalia panicking.
Remus calmed Accalia placing his hands on her shoulder and placed his glass on the side of the tub. He held his nose, took a deep breath and sunk under the water leaving a trail of bubbles on the surface.
Accalia stared at the spot where Remus had disappeared for a moment before turning her head as Tonks turned the handle and stepped through the door.
"The bubbles suit you Accalia!" laughed Tonks making Accalia stick her tongue out.
"Did you want something Tonks?" smiled Accalia all to aware that Remus was under the water holding his breath.
"Just to let you know we're all going out for dinner tonight so if you want to come...I can see you're relaxing at the moment so I'll leave you alone," explained Tonks.
"Thanks for letting me know," smiled Accalia.
"Oh Accalia," said Tonks as she was about to leave, "Have you seen Remus?"
"Um...I think he said he was going for a walk. I'm sure he'll be back soon," lied Accalia.
"Oh okay," smiled Tonks, "See you later."
As Tonks closed the door Remus rose out of the water breathless.
"Took long enough didn't you!" gasped Remus.
"Sorry! She wouldn't go away!" said Accalia.
"It doesn't seem fair that I'm the only one to get soaked," smiled Remus raising one eyebrow.
"Fine!" smiled Accalia who promptly disappeared under the water.
Remus suddenly felt Accalia's hands on his thighs.
"Accalia? What are you...oh...ah," gasped Remus grabbing onto the side of the bathtub.
Accalia stopped, appeared out of the water and slid her body up Remus's.
"I think you should lock the door and silence the room Mr Lupin," purred Accalia into Remus's ear before vanishing back under the water.
I told you this chapter wouldn't be long after the last one! Already started the next one so that should be up soon. The next chapter should be good but not for the reasons you may think!
As ever don't forget to review!
Thanks
