A/N. Heeeere's some more. this is my favourite chapter so far )
At
lunchtime, she woke suddenly. She had slept through all the time she
was supposed to have used for preparing! She was confused as to why
she was so sleepy all the time. She decided to skip lunch and prepare
for her class. Today they would be learning about public transport.
Should be easy. Sophia collected the notes, and a few books that were
on her desk and put them in a pile. She went into her room and saw
that there were robes spread out over her bed. She assumed those
Elves that Albus told her about had put them there. She tried one on
and stood in front of the mirror and smiled.
"Black suits
you." She heard from the door, she turned to see Snape standing
there. She turned and smiled at him.
"Oh, and it definitely
suits you too" She smiled even wider as he came towards her.
"You had best not be trying to be sarcastic, because you are
certainly toying the the sarcasm master." He stood behind her as
she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Oh, no, I'm being serious. Actually, I think PINK would suit you too." She teased. Bad idea. He grabbed her around the waist and carried her, kicking and screaming, to the bathroom. He put her in the shower and turned on the water. The COLD water. She screamed and jumped out, into him, wetting him as well.
"You
know" She said"I think you have a thing about getting me
wet." She giggled.
"Mmm" He replied, holding onto
her hips keeping her close to him"I think I do too." He
leant down and put a kiss on her neck. She gasped.
"Siccus."
He pointed his wand at them both. He let her go and she took a step
back. He led the way out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom.
Snape looked at the bed.
'We
have about 10 minutes before class starts. Come on, Snape, just throw
her on there and have your way with her. You know she loves it.'
Snape growled at the voice inside his head, and Sophia gave him an
odd look.
"Now, my dear, why weren't you at lunch. You'll be
hungry." 'I got something you can eat!' Snape's mind yelled.
"Oh, I fell asleep before, and I didn't prepare my classwork
in time, so I thought I would catch up food at dinner.
"That is not very healthy" Snape replied, looking her up and down. "One meal a day will never do for any girl of mine" 'Oh shit, did I say that out loud?' Sophia turned and squinted at Snape, but decided not to embarrass him further for his weird comment.
"Mmm,
well, I've finished getting my things together, maybe you could give
me directions to the Muggle Studies classroom"
"Of
course, to the end of this corridor, past my rooms, right until you
see a staircase on your left. That will lead up to the Muggle Studies
classroom WHEN the staircase is pointing at a portrait of an old man
with a red hat..." He sweeped his arm in the general direction,
and headed towards the door.
"So I will see you at dinner
then" Sophia asked, shooting him a smile. Snape nodded once and
left.
'His giiiirl, eh? Interesting.' Sophia had to concentrate on
not skipping to class, or twirling, or jumping. She was a teacher,
and should behave as such. She put serious thoughts in her head and
walked up to the Muggle Studies classroom. Just as she took her foot
off the top of the staircase, it moved to another location, and she
was glad she got there before it did! She went inside and set up the
classroom and the students piled in as she began her first lesson.
i A/n: There's a class happening here about Muggle Studies. I don't think we need a running commentary of it. We all know how muggles work. /i
When the class ended, Sophia packed up her things and walked out the door. The stairs were in their proper place, and she hurried down them incase it decided to move while she was on there. Once she reached her chambers she sat down at looked at her schedule... Mondays, wednesdays and fridays she had classes. Full moons were... Hmm, where could she get a Lunar chart? Lupin would have one.
She headed towards Lupin's rooms. He didnt have a class, he was there because he needed the wolfsbane, and he insisted on helping in any way he can on the staff. She knocked three times and Lupin was quick to open the door. He motioned for her to go in and she sat down.
"I want you to tell me more about this werewolf stuff.. I mean, I think I'm kind of in denial. Isn't this a curse? Shouldn't I be crying or something? I just don't get it." She said, all in one breath. Lupin sat down next to her, and frowned at her.
"What"
She asked, shifting back slightly at his penetrating gaze.
"Hmm?
Oh, sorry. Nothing. Hold on one second." He walked into another
room.
'He's being weird. He smells weird too. Oh, hey I can smell
things about people now! Superpower...' She sat there thinking about
that while she imagined sniffing things and saving peoples lifes by
doing it. She had a very self satisfied smirk when Lupin reentered
the room.
"What are you so happy about? Here" He handed
her a lunar chart"This month is April, so the full moon is on
a Sunday. Professor Rundle will take your class Monday, because you
will most definitely be dead asleep." He pointed to the
different months. "School lets out in June, and you will only
have to miss classes on this month. Depending on whether you're hurt
or not. But we should both be fine because Snape will be making us
both the wolfsbane potion. Which helps us keep our own minds during
the transformation." He sat down next to her again.
"Does
the transformation hurt" Sophia asked.
"Mmm, quite a
bit. But you get used to it after a while I suppose." He leant
in slightly and she swore he was smelling her! What?
"Uh,
Remus? Are you smelling me" She asked with a smile.
"Oh
shit. Sorry, you know. Can't help myself sometimes. You ARE a girl
wolf after all... Good smelling girl wolf.." He trailed off as
he leant further in and sniffed her neck. She shivered with the air
rushing along her skin.
"Ok" She stood up quickly,
knocking the lunar chart to the ground..
"I'll get it."
They both said at the same time, and bent over to get it, knocking
their heads together. Sophia fell back and Remus stumbled slightly.
They looked at eachother and laughed.
"I am so sorry"
Remus reached out a hand for her. "My wolf hormones are on high
alert because there is a lady around." He still held her hand
when she had already stood up. "I suppose you don't feel it
because you're new. But we should probably stay away from eachother
this week next month."
"You mean we go on HEAT"
She cried. Remus chuckled.
"Well, yes, I suppose you could
call it that." He turned her hand over in his, and put a small
kiss on her palm. "Heat is really a very vague term." He
put another kiss on her wrist. "I think it's more a high alert
feeling towards the opposite sex." He licked the inside of her
elbow, keeping eye contact.
"So" She said shakily"It's towards ALL opposite sex. Not just other wolves" She
took a deep shaky breath.
"No, I feel it towards all females,
but much, much stronger to another wolf." He had worked his way
up to the crook of her neck, and he sniffed her there. She stopped
breathing. Suddenly he dropped her hand, and he sniffed her again,
harder.
"Hm." He muttered.
"What" She
took a step back. He was smiling, but he looked slightly
disappointed.
"I can't touch Snape's girlfriend. It's not
really my deal. You should go before I jump you." He
laughed.
"What? I'm not Severus's GIRLFRIEND. We're just
friends." She didn't want to sound desperate, but Lupin had
stirred her up inside, and she didn't want him to stop.
"You
are Snape's. I can smell him on you. This is the human in me speaking
now, I can't touch you. Snape's been good to me." He turned and
walked towards the door, opened it and motioned her out.
"Thanks
for the info." She smiled.
"Anytime. Just steer clear of me until like.. the 8th... The "heat" runs from a week before the new moon." He smiled brightly and shut the door quietly. She walked towards her rooms, and stopped at Snape's portrait.
