Chapter 19: Sarcasm….Not something you people get, is it?
I was showed around the huge castle but didn't pay attention I couldn't get that dream out of my head. I could have sworn I was awake.
I was guessing they didn't have a separate dorm for me because I was brought to a picture in the first place, it took me a while to remember Remus told me they were portholes they said some word I wasn't listening to and walked us in. it was some room that was big, red, and gold…that was all I remembered. Our "guide" left us alone to get ready for the big staff supper where Dumbledore will introduce me to the rest of the staff and we'll talk and eat and what ever the heck else that old guy wants.
"You okay Piper?" I heard Remus asked yet again. He had asked me that I don't even now how many times tonight during the tour.
"Yep" was all I answered with and many other versions of yes.
"Are you sure…you haven't been paying attention all evening, ever since we got off the train" he said.
"I just…I can't stop thinking about that dream…I have a bad feeling, but then again a lot of my bad feelings were because I was afraid to be happy because it would just break like everything else did…I just….I don't know" I huffed the last part flopping onto the couch.
"Look around you, love, you are in Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry…just try to enjoy yourself tonight. Harry gets here in day after tomorrow and then we start work" he said then he kissed the side of my head.
"Alright…is anyone from the order here? Moody, Tonks?" I asked hoping it wasn't just the Hogwarts teachers and Dumbledore.
"No their still at number 12 they had to stay to come up with a way to get Harry safely on the train and here without him getting killed. A lot more of Voldomorts followers have been seen and with the break out at Azkaband they don't want to risk anything" Remus said shaking his head.
"Maybe you were right darling…maybe something bad is going to happen" Remus said as he leaned back and I lay on his chest.
"Its times like this I hate it when I'm right…maybe I'm not though. I don't want to go down to dinner Remy" I said changing the subject.
"No…me neither, lets just go upstairs and get some much needed rest" he stood up and held out his hand for me.
"What about McGonagall?" I asked knowing she would wait for us and if we didn't get down there she would come and get us.
"She'll understand, and we'll tell her when she comes to get us" Remus said pretty much speaking my thoughts.
"Yeah…I'm kind of tired" I said with a big yawn.
"We have one whole day tomorrow we can use meeting the other teachers, and getting you use to around here. One more day then you're my niece" he said hiding his little chuckle.
"One more day and I'll be 17 again" I said like I was looking forward to it.
We got walked up these stairs and he opened the door. There were about 5 beds in there and my stuff was piled on the one in the corner.
"Hmm…this is it?" I asked looking around; there was a fireplace right in the middle of the room, trunks at the end of every bed, the bed hanging were gold and red, the bed looked pretty soft though.
"Yep…this is where you'll sleep" he said walking me over the only one with things on it.
He moved the trunk off my bed and told me to lie down; I crawled into the covers and moved over for him. I frowned when he didn't make a move.
"They put spells on all these beds so the boys don't sneak in here. Only females in these beds…I don't know why but they didn't do it with the boy's beds…" Remus said.
"Well I don't want to sleep here then…" I said wanting him to hold me right now.
"Your tired Piper, you need to sleep. I promise I'll talk to Dumbledore about removing the spell from your bed. Right now you sleep and I'll sit here" he said pulling a chair closer to the bed.
"Fine then" I said moving closer to the edge of the bed.
"Your going to fall off, you don't sleep completely still you know the only reason you don't fall off is because I'm usually there to stop you" he said with a light laugh.
"See that's why I need you here" I said pretending to be serious.
"That's why? I thought it was something else" he said frowning.
"Nope that's it" I giggled.
"You know if I was aloud in that bed I would have already gotten you" he said with a fake glare.
"Yes but you aren't" I smirked having the upper ground.
"Oh you just wait I'll get you sometime" her said pointing his figure.
"Not with the students here Lupin" McGonagall said from the door.
"Hi Professor" I joked feeling to happy right now to be serious.
"Why aren't you guys at supper?" she asked walking over to my bed.
"I'm not feeling well…we're going to meet the other teacher tomorrow and talk with them each" I said sitting up.
"Remus you know better then I do you aren't going to get the spell off of her bed. It was you, James, and Sirius's fault that there's spells on the bed" she said glaring at him.
"Wait what? How come" I asked looking to him.
"James…he had dragged me along as back up and it was Sirius idea…to try and get James and Lily together" he said.
"Um…I guess I'm okay with that?" I said frowning.
"So teach what's up?" I asked lying back down and looking up to her.
"I came to see why you two weren't at supper…also Trelawney was telling about her "visions" she got this summer" she replied shacking her head and rolling her eyes.
"She has visions?" I asked.
"Yeah or at least she claims to" McGonagall said.
"How are the other teachers with Piper being here?" Remus asked changing the subject.
"Yeah I bet Snape is thrilled I'm going to be here all year" I said sarcastically.
"quite the opposite really…Snape I mean, the other teachers are in fact thrilled you're here, the first wiccan most of them are meeting" she said, I was surprised I still knew how to use sarcasm at all because no one here got it.
"Sarcasm…not something you people understand that much hey" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Ha I guess not" Remus laughed finally seeing it.
