A/N: Shorter chapter today )
'Guh.'
She thought, incapable of proper speech. What a CRAZY day. She didn't
have any friends or family to write to, otherwise she would try to
get a grasp of this whole new thing by asking them what they thought.
She always preferred her solitude, but it's times like these, she
wished she had a friend. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and
she smelt the air. It was that other werewolf, she could smell him
through the door. She opened the portrait and saw him standing there.
"Hey, sorry to bother you when you just got your things
together." He smiled"May I come in"
"Of
course" She replied, and stood aside to let him in. She felt
less apprehension now that she had met him, she assumed it was
because she was used to him now. She sat down and he stood in front
of her. This wolf thing was weird, it made her feel this need to
submit to him. Like, he was in charge.
"I wanted to apologize
for earlier, you see, I smelt another wolf, I smelt DANGER more than
anything, and when I saw you, my first instincts were very harsh,
because I was protecting my 'yard' and my 'pack', you understand"
He sat down across from the seat she had taken, and she smiled at
him.
"So I would like to start again" He smiled"Hi,
I'm Remus Lupin. I'm the Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher here
at Hogwarts, and I'm a werewolf" He said all this in a light
and joking tone, like he was reading for a personals ad. She
laughed.
"Hi" She replied, using the same light and
joking tone"I'm Sophia Lennox. I'm the new Muggle..? Studies
teacher here at Hogwarts. Apparently, I'm a werewolf too" They
both laughed.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Wow,
I'm popular tonight" She laughed and opened the door.
"It
seems that you still have my coat." It was Snape. He looked over
her shoulder and glared at Lupin, then looked at Sophia.
"Everything
alright" He asked her, looking at her with a slightly concerned
look in his eyes.
"Oh yes, everything is fine." She
shrugged off the coat and handed it to him. "Here, sorry I
forgot to give it back."
"Mmm, that's fine. Don't let
people stay too late." He said, looking Lupin in the eyes"If
you meet me outside my portrait at 8am, I shall walk with you to
breakfast." He turned and stepped through the portrait and was
gone.
'How rude,' she thought, 'Didn't even say goodnight to
Remus.'
"He doesn't like me" Remus's voice broke through
her thoughts. "If that's why you're wondering why he didn't say
anything to me. He doesn't like me. And he doesn't like me even MORE
now I'm in his little girlfriends chambers! I'm definitely in trouble
now." He laughed.
"His girlfriend! ME! No! No no no,
he's just being nice to me." She said, as Lupin walked towards
the portrait. She walked and stood next to him, and he smiled a big
toothy grin at her.
"If you knew Snape like everyone else
did, you would realise JUST how odd it is for him to be "NICE"."
He bowed his head slightly at her and stepped out of the portrait.
She closed the door behind her and smiled.
'People here are nice,
even if Remus and Severus don't like eachother.' She nodded to
herself and grinned even wider. She had TWO friends! She had never
had two friends before, people never really liked her all that much
in school, and she hadn't any family. She was defiiately liking it
here.
She
winced as she got out of her clothing, her arm still hurt. She
slipped into her pyjamas and slid into her huge four poster
bed.
'Wow,' she thought"I could definitely get used to
this!' She got comfy, and shut her eyes.
Suddenly she heard a noise. Sounded like someone pushing a chair across a floor, a low, quick hum. She looked out her bedroom door, but couldn't see much without the light. She stood, and slowly tiptoed to the door. She lit a nearby candle and it shone light over the room. Nothing there. She sighed and turned around, this time she heard a LOUDER noise coming from her bathroom. She yelped, and ran through a door in the fartherest (sp?) corner of her lounge room. She was in an office, presumably HER office.. She shut and locked the door behind her and listened for noise. She sat at the desk and took out a peice of parchment and a quill and searched for some ink. Once she had found some she started drawing stupid little stickmen versions of Snape and Lupin, fighting over her. She was wearing a pretty yawn blue dress.. with... red... shoes... -snores-
