poohbear1990:Finally I got my lazy ass up and wrote another story.
Remus:What about your other stories...OUCH!
Poohbear1990:Holding a bat and waving it madly I'll get to it when I feel like it okay.
Remus:Alright! Alright! Jeeze!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the HP characters ,but unknown ones and this plot belong to me. If HP was mine it would be all about Remus Lupin. On with the story.
The night was dark, cold, and eerie, even for the gloomy town. It was as if no one lived in the town. Yet this town was a wolf in sheep's clothing. The vast range of houses, apartments, and shacks were truly occupied. The streets rarely had light beaming upon them as tall trees were blocking any hopes of moonlight. Though most would find this one little fact rather peculiar, the towns people thought it to be there type of flavor. Thus far it's what to be expected of them for they're vampires. The shadows of the day, and creatures of the night. On don't be alarmed. Oh, no. I don't want to scare you. For this is the story of one vampire who's blood was tainted there for making it half-vampire, half-mortal. This isn't your everyday story… wouldn't want you to think that no would we. Use your senses to your best ability and join this roller coaster with a grim ending.
It had to be at least 7:00 in the morning with a stunning mixture of blues, purple, oranges, and pinks as the Sun fought the Moon to take it's turn to glaze over the town. Silence filled the air as some raised from the warmth of their beds and the rest resumed to lay peacefully in their own made up heaven. With the unwanted beeping of the alarm clock ringing in the air of one of the peaceful homes, the occupant laid in bed refusing to give up on their heaven.
"Alright, alright. I'm awake!" a young girl who looked to be at least 18, who's beauty played tricks on all because she was in fact a little over 3,000 years old! Looking at the clock she got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. Two seconds later she ran back into her room and did a double take. "7:05! Why in the world am I wake at this time!" (to her this was early). Spending about half a minute to think it over, something finally dawned on her…she had a job to do. Looking out her window she saw other lazily climb into there cars, catch the bus, or scornfully walked. At first this shocked her until she remembered she left the town of her follow "associates" some many years ago. Actually left wasn't the word… more like banished. For her lack of a certain…"pick-me-up" and caution of the day wasn't unnoticed. She shook her head, Now isn't the time to think of my past life. It was SO long ago. Ending on that last mental note, she turned to wash up and head for her new beginning. Though a thought in the back of her mind plagued her deeply.
"Argh!" Remus groaned loudly for being so draft. He just had to let Dumbledore talk him into teaching DADA …again. Remus had to attempt that even though he didn't like this idea the slightest bit, he was glad to be back to the place he called home for many years. 'Besides, Harry has handled so much pain since Sirius's death last year. In fact I'm sure you need him as much as he needs you.' Dumbledore's words rang inside his head as he sat down in an empty compartment. Remus face showed signs of aging, though he was only 36, and a few gray hairs were popping up here and there. He was tired, for the full moon was just yesterday. Sighing he relaxed in the room and dozed off. This relaxing atmosphere only lasted a nano second before his compartment door slid open. "Oh…sorry to wake up ,but would you mind if I share this compartment with you? All the others are full of those little monsters…oops…children." the girl grinned and chuckled.
Remus never seen someone so beautiful. The girls in his time were pretty, don't think they were ugly, but this young woman was damn neardangerously beautiful. Remus smiled and nodded his head. The girl sighed and walked in sliding the door close. Remus took this chance to get a good look at her. She looked to be no older the 18 (Damn!well there goes his chances with her out the window) with elbow length black hair that was currently tied into a ponytail, brown eyes, and chocolate skin. To top all this off, she had on tight hip-hugger jeans (and oh did they hug them), a white t shirt that stopped mid-stomach and showed of her diamond bellybutton ring and finally a caramel colored leather jacket that tail was so long that it stopped behind her knees.
"Remus Lupin. You are?" The girl smiled at the thought of having someone to talk to. "Ashley. No last name that I know of." Remus didn't understand why she didn't no of her last name ,but didn't press the matter. "So what year are you in? You look to be a seventh year, but looks can be deceiving." Ashley snorted once then, unable to hold it in any longer, started laughing like a crazed fan girl. Remus, to put it lightly, was puzzled. Ashley stopped laughing and shook her head. "Your right on one thing, Mr. Lupin, for looks CAN be deceiving because I'm most defiantly not a student." Remus face started to flush a violent shade of red. "Oh.. um…uh…hehe." Ashley just smiled sweetly. "People in my family maintain young looks. I'm not surprised at all ,but it's just so funny to me how people always say that to me." Remus face finally turned it's right color and he returned her smile with a handsome grin of his own. "So since your not a student, that must mean you're a teacher than. So what class are you teaching? " He said after a slight pause. "Oh I'm taking over Care of Magical Creatures. The original teacher had to go away for sometime… so I'm just taking over for now." Remus nodded knowing that Hagrid was on duty for the Order.
After talking about Quidditch, and their interests a comfortable silence fell over them. It wasn't that they ran out of things to say, it was the fact that they were both tired. Remus because of yesterday's full moon and Ashley…well who knows. Remus currently was reading a book, Thee Shall Be Aware:For The Monster In All Of Us (I wonder were I got that from). Ashley had sprend out on her seat and was staring at the ceiling, sometimes stealing glances at Remus and would crack a slight grin as if hiding a secret of some sort. Behind his book Remus smiled, he knew she was glancing at him and didn't mind one bit. If he hadn't developed a fancy for her when she first walked in here, he sure did now. Yet his whole werewolve problem was keeping him from having a healthy relationship. Not that he never fell in love before, he did about a year ago. So we he told the woman what he was she ran away in fear. He was just thankful when she owled him telling him that his secret was safe with her because even though she was scared of him. She still loved him enough not to tell anyone. "Remus!" He finally snapped out for his little trance to see that Ashley's worried face was inches away from his. With closeness like this… the warmth of her breathe grazing his face, her sweet scent of lovely flowers, and kissable lips were noticed. Let's just say he was trying to keep his pet dragon tamed (caution: pet dragons are dangerous). "I was calling your name for almost 3 minutes. You had me worried." Ashley said as she stood up. Remus looked out the window to see that they were at Hogwarts. When Ashley slid open the door and started to leave, a question popped out of Remus mouth. "How old are you anyway?" We he asked this question not even he knew. Ashley just smiled and repiled " A little bit over 3,000 years old." With that she left a rather clearly shocked werewolve.
