poohbear1990:Wow! I not only did Istop being lazy ,but I actually wrote all of this in one day. Looks like she was just told that she won the lottery

Remus: I know, I could barely believe it myself.

poohbear:Can it!

Disclaimer: Hey I did it once I refuse to do it again because it takes to damn long.

Remus was shocked. He couldn't have possibly heard her say 'A little over 3,000 years old'. He was still thinking about it when he was almost football tackled to the ground by three teens. "Remus! When we found out that you were coming back, we knew we just had to find you." Hermione explained while hugging Remus like a child clinging to their mother."Well is it true you're here to stay?" Harry asked with a twinkle of hope in his eyes. "Yes, I'm back for good." Remus couldn't help ,but smile when he saw Ron pump his fist in the air, and Harry and Hermione high-fived one another. All thoughts about Ashley's age left Remus' mind as he walked into the carriages with the three blissful teens.

Once inside the school the group parted ways so that Remus could join the rest of the staff at the head table. "Oh, Remus! I just knew you would be back!" Professor Sprout yelled. "Welcome back Mr. Lupin." Dumbledore greeted as if he hadn't asked to come back at all. Everyone was happy to see his smiling face, well expect Snape. He was just glaring at him as if he actually did something to him. Sitting himself in between McGonagll and Professor Trelawney, Remus watched as the petrified first years enter the Great Hall. Remus couldn't help ,but chuckle as he remembered his first year at Hogwarts.

FLASHBACK

Remus looked around the room in shock. The ceil was enchanted to look like the dark blue, clear sky that was outside. Glancing at his three new friends, he saw that he wasn't the only one gazing onwith awe. "Wow! Look at how big this place is." James declared eyes wide from trying to take ineverything all at once. Peter couldn't make out a word for he was speechless. Yet there just had to be one person that had to say the most out of the blue thing…"Hm…I wonder how many crazed monkeys you could fit in this place?" They all stared at Sirius with a glimpse of puzzlement. "What! Oh come on like you guys weren't wondering to?" Sirius said in a it's what everyones thinking about voice. They all just started laughing at him. All he did waslook just as confused as they did eariler.

END OF FLASHBACK

When Remus had finish daydreaming he had realized that Dumbledore was approaching the podium. "Welcome students. Old and new." He glanced around the room smiling at everyone. "Before I start my speech, I would like to welcome Professor Lupin back to our glorious school." Remus stood and accepted the roars and cheers of the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors, and even some Slytherins. Remus smiled and sat back down.

The cheering had stopped and Dumbledore continued. "I would also like to welcome our new Care of Magical Creatures Professor." Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked confused ,but clapped with everyone else. At the mention of this, Remus finally realized that Ashley was on the other side of Professor Trelawney. She slowly stood and bowed before quickly sitting back down. Holyshit! How could she be that close without him knowing! She wasn't there when he had got here.

"Well students, we're facing dark times with the threat of You-Know-Who returning," there were murmurs from the children ,but all stopped when Dumbledore started talking again, "But we won't allow this to bring us down. No matter how much light you have…there will always be darkness. We can't help this certain fact, but we can help the light win by never giving up on it. Believing that it will forever beam down on us all. Ending on that note…let's dig in."

Once the feast was over, Remus headed towards his sleeping quarters when he saw Dumbledore talking to Ashley. "Oh, hello Remus." Ashley greeted as Dumbledore politely excuses himself for bed. All of a sudden Remus had the abrupt urge of longing inside of his heart. He wanted nothing more than to pull her into an intense passionate kiss and explore her body with his hands, breathe in her sweet scent. Shaking his head he looked at her again.

"What's the matter? Does this have to do with what I said earlier?" Ashley asked looking into his brown eyes with her own. Remus cleared his throat and responded. "Um…yeah. I was relatively shocked at what you said." They began to walk towards the staff's sleeping quarters. "Well, you see I'm much more different than others," she started off, "you see I'm not even mortal." They stopped in front of her door and she began opening it. Oh, how much he would've wanted to be invited into her room…her world more so. Before closing the door her last words to him were, "That's because I'm half-vampire."
Remus just stood outside her door with wide eyes. Slowly he made his way to his room in deep thought about what she had said and the need of a nice long cold shower.

Ashley sat nervously on her desk while wanting for her first class. It was doubled with Gryffindors and Slytherins. Oh how luck was on her side today. Looking at herself in the mirror she felt a little bit better. She was wearing a red shirt that read 'Look what I got for my birthday' in white bold bubble letters and flared jeans. Her hair was still in a nice ponytail. As her class filed into the room, they stunned to see a professor in such clothing. Some people even laughed at her shirt and wondered where she got it from.

"Hello everyone. I'm your new professor for Care of Magical Creatures. I would like to be called by my name, Ashley, because 'Professor' sounds as if your all my slaves." Everyone laughed at her joke. They found it cool that she wanted them to call her by her name, even the Slytherins couldn't complain . None of the other professors would let them do that. "Alright, because the school board says so…they've made you buy this book for this class. Say it's informative." Ashley rolled her eyes as she pointed to the book.

"Wow. She's probably almostjustas good as Remus." Hermione whispered to Harry and Ron. "Most definitely easier on the eyes as well." Ron added with a sly grin on his face. Harry rolled his eyes ,but couldn't disagree with Ron on that one. "Okay everyone take out your books." Ashley stated while picking up her own copy. "Great. Now do as I do." Ashley took out her wand and said, loud and clear, "FIRELOUIS". Everyone cheered as her book was burning into nothingness. "Fuck the systemAND these damned books." she laughed out. Not wasting another second everyone did what she had done. " Forget what you said earlier Hermione…she IS better." Harry shouted over the cheers. It was an amazing sight to behold, the Gryffindors and Slytherins were GETTING ALONG all though the class period.

"Well, now that was taking care of, " she smirked while saying that, "let's see what creature YOU want me to teach." All at once everyone shouted out what they wanted to learn about. After 10 minutes they all agree, yes both house actually agreed, on vampires oddly enough. Yet faith was against them for when Ashley started to explain the bell ring for next class. "Well that's the end of today's class hope you all enjoyed this class period."

Everyone left with huge grins on their faces as they talked about their lesson. "I can't believe she did that." Ron said. "Well I don't think that was the best move. Books help us learn more interesting facts. Helps us grow as indivials and grow in knowledge as well." Hermione said frowning. "You say this now ,but you were quick to burn your book into flames." mused Harry. Hermione blushed a light shade of pink andopened her mouth to say something ,but decided against it.

About 3 hours later Remus was headed to the Great Hall for some lunch after teaching the lower year students how to do a simple tickle charm and perform a spell that would send the attack back to it's owner. This was proving more difficult then he had thought. Lost in his thoughts, Remus didn't sense the person rounding the corner. Next thing Remus knew, he was laid out on the ground with a pissed off Severus next to him. "Watch were the hell your going, Lupin." Snape sneered as if saying his name was some sort of torture. " Look here Snape. I'm not the only one that was the cause of this mess." Remus gave Snape such a look that would've made Voldemort proud. Snape was about to retort ,but just then Ashley came humming down the hall. "Not that it's my business or anything ,but why are you guys on the floor."

Remus slightly blushed, all hatred for Severus gone…for now. Holding out on hand for Remus and the other for Snape, Ashley smiled down on the both of them. Remus took her hand, feeling a surge of electricity at her touch. Why did she make him feel this way? Pulling up Remus, Ashley waited for Snape who just glared at her gentle face. Yet this glare was different from others because it was... forced.

"Well…are you going to let me help you up or are you collecting dust?". Ashley didn't wait for an answer because she just grasped his arm and pulled him up. "I didn't need your help!" Snape all of a sudden snapped,"Who do you think you are always? Prancing around with that outlandish shirt on." with that Snape turned on his heels and headed for the Great Hall. Remus knew why he left like he did. Basically because of Ashley's shirt and were the words were at. The only way you could read her shirt is if you looked at her chest. Which Remus had to say were very nice. Most of the professors wore cloaks over their regular clothing. Yet she was different and didn't care about what people thought about it.

"Um…I wonder what got stuck up his ass?" Ashley turned to Remus and looked as if this was an everyday thing. Well, now that he thought about it. Maybe it was... for her. 3,000 years of life must have given her all the shocks that people could only dream of. Remus smiled to himself as he pictured Ashley laughing at the must shocking thing in the world.

"Hey, what you smiling 'bout?" Remus looked at her and became aware that he was walking down to the Great Hall, hand and hand with Ashley. Some students looked at them with little smiles and they were faced with the occasional 'awww' from the girls, only to see Ashley wave it off as if was childish. Once in the Great Hall, Ashley let go of his hand and walked over to Professor Flitchwick to help him get into his seat. Dumbledore smiled as he read her shirt and Sprout spit out her pumpkin juice as she laughed. McGonagll was just as surprised as Snape ,but just let it go. "I see you have made yourself comfortable." Dumbledore chuckled as Ashley sat next to Trelawney, who looked like the devil himself was about to ask her to marry him. "Oh well want better way to make the children laugh on their first day of classes. You said yourself last night to get on the students good sides or they'll eat me alive." Remus laughed along with Dumbledore and Flitchwick. 'Things were just starting to get interesting' Remus thought to himself. Maybe Ashley was the spice that Hogwarts needed. Unknown to everyone a certain spy thought the same ,but for a compeletly different reason.
