Chapter 5: Trust Me – Part 3
Remus sprinted down the corridor and hurled himself onto Eric's back. Eric held Alyss down with one hand and turned around to face Remus.
"Oh look, it's the knight in his shining armour, come to save the princess" he sneered. "More like the clown come to save the-".
Remus plunged his hand into his robes and pulled out his wand. "Relashio" he cried pointing his wand at Eric, whose hand immediately sprang away from Alyss.
"Think your all-" began to retort Eric but before he could say any more,"Silencio" said Remus and as an after thought added, "Bastard".
Eric struggled silently thrashing about as Remus once again raised his wand and muttered,"Incarcerous". As ropes magically bound Eric, Remus hesitantly stepped towards Alyssa who hadn't moved or said anything during that encounter. He reached towards her and was about to touch her shoulder when he received a sudden kick right on his left butt-cheek, Remus nearly lost his balance but managed to stay up. "Damn you…why the left butt-cheek of my two butt-cheeks argh!" said Remus to himself as he turned to face his attacker. The attacker happened to be Eric who had tried to do some sort of flying kick thing although he was bound by ropes, and had, of course, ended up on the ground. Eric was also, thankfully, unconscious due to his amateur acrobatics. But why risk it thought Remus as he quickly muttered "Petrificus Totalus" and turned back to Alyssa. Remus ignores the pain in his left butt-cheek as he kneeled down beside her. As he got closer to her, he heard her whimpering quietly. When Remus reached to touch her she flinched abruptly. He had no idea what to do and the ideas he did have weren't very ideal. For example, body binding her and then transporting her to the hospital wing wouldn't be very sensitive, but on the other hand sitting here not doing anything was stupider. So, Remus took a deep breath and cleared his throat.
"Alyss?" he whispered, as he peered through the curtain of hair covering her face. He tentatively swept her hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ears. "Alyssa, talk to me" he said beseechingly, "please". Suddenly Alyssa burst in to tears and threw herself into his arms.
"Re-Re-Remus, I -" she tried to say but she couldn't say anything because she was crying so much.
"It's ok, it's ok, calm down alright, just calm down" murmured Remus stroking her head softly.
"Oh but Re-Remus, I-I have to t-tell y-you, what hap-happened" she hiccupped. Alyssa looked up at Remus tearfully. "B-But I can't Remus, I-I just c-can't." she cried.
"Alyss don't talk just calm down you don't need to say anything right now" whispered Remus.
He cradled her in his arms and despite the situation he couldn't help his heart from fluttering and his hands from trembling as he held her. He couldn't help notice how beautiful she looked even when her eyes were red and puffy, even when her hair was messy. He couldn't help but just look at her; she was so wonderful, so amazing, and so precious to him. At the thought what Eric had done, Remus felt like killing him for it. Remus couldn't even bear to see her crying like this; Alyssa, who was always happy, who should always stay happy, who Remus would do anything to keep happy.

Alyssa glanced up at Remus to find him gazing at her with wonder or amazement in his eyes. His brown floppy hair had fallen on to his forehead and his eyes shone with an incredible intensity. Remus's face was barely centimetres away from her own and suddenly as Alyss looked at him she felt a wave of happiness roll over her. She felt so warm, safe and protected lying there in his arms.
"Remus?" she whispered, bringing him out of his trance.
"Mmm" he replied quietly.
Alyssa tilted her face up to his and she had completely forgotten exactly how close they were until she realised that she could she each and every light brown streak in his eyes.

As Alyssa brought her face closer to his Remus went numb, he couldn't feel anything. He looked into her pretty blue eyes that were bordered by her adorable overgrown fringe. Remus couldn't help but hopelessly love her. Alyss's rosebud lips seemed to call to his as she twined her arms around his neck. Remus leaned forwards centimetre by centimetre, taking his time, feeling it before it came, imprinting this memory in his mind and he kissed her.

As Remus's lips finally touched hers, Alyss felt as if a thousand fireworks had just gone off inside her. She kissed him back slowly and lovingly. Her fingers weaved through his hair as his arms curled around her waist. The mist cleared, the doubt was gone, and she knew in that moment, that she loved him.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Suddenly Remus came to his senses. What the hell was he doing? Alyss had just been assaulted by Eric and then the first thing he does is kiss her. He couldn't do this, how ever much he wanted to. Remus reluctantly but firmly pulled away.
"Remus what's wrong?" asked Alyssa trying to pull him into a kiss.
"No. Alyssa. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was so insensitive of me!" apologized Remus as he stood up.
"You don't need to apologize Remus. You gave me what I really needed. You gave me love." said Alyss gently. She stood up and touched his cheek. "I love you, Remus".
Remus stared back blankly. What? She can't love me. She doesn't know what I am. How can she?
"Remus" she repeated firmly, "I love you".
"I love you too Alyssa" replied Remus pushing other thoughts to the back of his mind. He cradled her face in his hands and said, "I love you" before planting a soft kiss on her forehead.
Alyssa smiled at Remus and put her arm around his waist. As they walked to the Common Room, Alyssa asked Remus about his left butt-cheek because she seemed to have heard him mutter.
"Er..nothing…it was just Sirius. He..er..umm….poked me there with his …umm..broomstick. Yeah." answered Remus uncertainly, although the memory of Sirius biting him, whilst Remus was a werewolf, in his animagus form burned brightly in his mind. Remus shook his head and put his arm around her shoulders. He then had to lead her to the Common Room because was laughing so much she couldn't even see.

A/N: There you go. So they're official now. That was a pretty shitty chapter but I warned you so don't blame me. I kept it as short as I could to save you from shittyness overload. Hopefully my editor's neatened it up. But don't lose hope the forthcoming chapter shall stun you all (hopefully). Anyway…r&r all the same. Just please don't tell me it sucked 'cos then I'll get even more depressed.
Thanks for actually reading the chapter if you did. And thanks to my dear lovely amazing wonderful fabulous reviewers I love u all!
