Chapter 23: Part of my Charm

It seemed like the day was dragging on, and I had a feeling there would be more like this.

I had most of my classes with Harry but like I said before it would be a little suspicious if I had every single class he did.

"Halliwell…hey wait up!" I heard Draco say from behind me and I turned to see him come out of history of magic. I had just finished Transfiguration with Harry and now had my free period. Harry had some other sort of class.

"Aren't you supposed to be acting like the bad boy?" I asked not even looking at him. I was supposed to be a Gryffindor.

"There isn't anyone here" he said and he was right when I looked around I saw the last kid walking into their right class.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I have free period too" he shrugged as we slowly walked through the hall.

"Why do you act like that?" I asked questioning how he acts around everyone else and not me.

"…because that's how my father was" he answered knowing what I was talking about without me saying.

"You really want to follow in your fathers footsteps?" I asked looking intently at him.

"…I have no choice" he mumbled looking down.

"There's always a choice Draco, you can choose what you want. No one else but you has control over your future" I said hoping I didn't sound too much like an adult.

"How do you know this? You're the same age as me" he said looking at me expectedly.

"…I've been through a lot in 17 years" I sighed.

"Uncle Remus promised me he'd help me with my homework…I got to go. See you later" I said wanting to get out of the dangerous territory we had just entered.

"…um…listen…can you tell Granger I'm sorry" he stuttered the words out, I smiled at him.

"Sure thing Draco" I said then I gave him a approving smile then I went off into the other hall way that led to Remus' office.

I had already gotten that much out of the boy and I just started. I couldn't stop smiling all the way to his office. I opened the door and as soon as I walked in he smiled my favourite crooked smile.

"What you are you so happy about?" he asked me.

"Oh nothing, I'm just glad to see you again" I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Maybe you can stay in my room tonight" he breathed looking me straight in the eye.

"…you have no idea how tempting that is but…I can't" I said knowing my rightful place here, I couldn't spend the night with my "Uncle" when ever I wanted there had to be a reason.

"And why not?" he asked looking at me intently.

"…well one…there are two other girls in my room that will probably wonder where I am…and two…your supposed to be my Uncle" I said undoing my arms from his neck and standing there looking at him.

"Come on Piper…I can't stay away from you, I just can't" he breathed wrapping his arms around my waist and roughly pulling me to him.

"Remus not so rough" I gasped feeling his tight grip around me getting tighter as he became more unlike his self.

"I need you Piper, I can't stop myself…please forgive me" he said I knew the last part was from my Remus.

"Remus please stop" I gasped the pain almost becoming too much.

"Piper, freeze me now! I can't" Remus forced out.

It took all my strength to just flick my hands a tiny bit, but his grip was still tightly on me.

"What just happened?" I asked out loud.

"It's getting closer to full moon; he'll have to be locked up. You're setting him off sooner then usual" I shivered at the cold dead voice behind me.

"It's only the 2nd night…there's still 5 more days" I said trying to turn and look him in the eye but I was still locked in Remus' arms.

"He'll be locked up on the 4th; with you here we can't take any chances. Your lucky Halliwell if it was up to me he would be locked up all the time" Snape said walking over and whispering some Latin word and I fell to the ground when Remus' arms suddenly let go.

I looked up and glared at Snape. "You know if you weren't a teacher I'd freeze you and kick you in the" then Snape interrupted me before I even got a chance to say what I wanted.

"You're lucky you have at least a minuscule of power Halliwell or I would have sent you packing the first time I laid eyes on you" he sneered.

"You would have "sent me packing" wow the all mighty Severus Snape up against a charmed one? I could only imagine how it would end up" I said sarcastically.

"Do not mock me you insolent little…" but right when he was about to say the next word Remus unfroze and was looking at him confused.

"That better have been the word witch coming out of your mouth" I glared at him.

"Hello Lupin, I saw how bad you were this morning and when I saw your little girly here come see you I thought it wise to make sure she lives through her first day. Can't have her die now can we? Who would protect Mr. Potter?" Snape said and the way he said it with his voice just about made me throw up.

"Thank you Severus you can go now" Lupin said seeing the look I was giving him.

"I put your wolfs bane potion in your room, don't forget to take it" he said then he was gone.

"I'm sorry Piper…I think…maybe we should stay as far away from each other until this is over" he sighed slumping his shoulders and looking to the ground.

"No Remus, I knew what I was getting into when we first got together. I'm not leaving you and I'm certainly not going to stay away from you" I said gently lifting his face to look at me.

"You're too stubborn for your own good" he said giving a small smile.

"Its part of my Charm" I laughed.

"…well…we still have a while before you have to go to class…why don't we go to my room…I'll have my potion and maybe…" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

I laughed at him but nodded all the same.
