Chapter 35:Trust me...I KNOW

I was about to nod when the bedroom door burst open.

"Professor, you need to come quickly!" Harry said stopping when he saw me.

"Oh…Piper…" he said blushing I looked down to check if the blanket was still around me. It luckily was but you could tell I was still naked.

"What is it Harry?" Remus asked stepping in front of me, I could hear the growl emit from his chest. He didn't like the way Harry was looking me.

"…Um….there's a man…yelling for you. We don't know how he got in. he is pretty angry." Harry said catching his breath.

"Leo" I groaned hanging my head Remus looked back at me. I could see Mooney try and break out but after the full moon he was drained. Remus' eyes flickered for a second but Remus had more control.

I wondered if I was allowed out of the room…if Remus was in charge right now. I could easily get to Remus when he was in control. It was Mooney who was more possessive one.

"Harry, go wait outside. Remus can you help me get dressed? I'll talk to him, he won't listen to anyone else here" I said wondering if my attempt was worth it.

"Go try asking him to come here; we'll be waiting in the den." Remus said I could see he was tense but he was agreeing none the less.

Harry nodded but he still stood there until Remus cleared his throat and though I could only see his back I knew he had raised his eyebrow at him.

"Oh yes of course!" Harry said panicky sort of as he turned and ran out the door. Remus turned to me his eyes running from the top of my head to the tips of my toes then back up to my eyes.

"Are you okay to walk? He asked coming over to me.

"Remus...you know it doesn't matter, I have to go out there and talk to him. You know he won't listen to anybody else." I said letting go of the sheet that was around me.

He bent over me and wrapped his arm around my waist bring me to the edge of the bed. He let go and untangled the blanket and sheet from around me. I smiled; he would make a good father someday.

I didn't want to be too helpless though so I tried to push myself into a standing position.

Only making Remus give me a look that told me I shouldn't be doing anything right now, I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Clothes, please? Or do I have to get them myself?" I said grabbing at his arm hoping I could pull myself up. Only this action made my shoulder feel like it was on fire, I yanked it back and used my other hand to feel for whatever it was that was hurting.

I whimpered as I touched the two almost whole circle crescent shaped scars on my neck, still sort of fresh, though it did heal a lot more then I had expected, because it was a fact that it did just happen last night. The pain hitting full force when I moved it, I had felt nothing when I was sitting there.

"Maybe this isn't a good idea, your eyes are white, your shoulder won't be better for a few days, and I'm sure you won't be able to stand let alone walk on your own." He pleaded, he wasn't controlling he just wanted me not to be in pain...the pain he felt he was responsible for.

"I'm fine" I say hating the way my voice cracks when I let go of my shoulder as I speak.

"I need to do this" I said after I cleared my throat trying to ignore the throbbing pain in my neck.

"No, you don't, Piper. You can't even move your arm" his eyes moving to the bite and lingering over my body...which I haven't looked at yet myself, knowing it wasn't good with the look he was giving me.

I had hand shaped bruises on my hips that were turning a very displeasing black; I was more or less "black and blue" everywhere.

"It's not your fault" I said seeing the self hatred in his eyes.

"I should not have let him do that, we could have waited... you wanted to wait." He was talking to himself more than he was to me

"Stop it, please Remus, it's done. There's nothing we can do about it anymore" I said putting my hand on his chest since I couldn't reach his face without hurting myself.

"Sorry...I just never wanted to hurt you...I never want to see you in this much pain, especially from something...something I allowed to happen" he said putting his hand over mine and looking down at them.

"I'm fine, alright, now help me get some clothes on and lets go deal with Leo" I said pulling my hand back.

He turned and went over to the trunk of clothes he made me have in here for "emergencies".

"Nothing tight please" I smiled knowing what he usually picks when I ask him to get me some clothes.

"Alright darling, only this one time though" he said with a laugh as he bent over.

I sat there and enjoyed the view as he took his sweet time picking. He stood and turned slowly.

"Like what you see?" he asked walking over just as slow.

"Trust me, I've never had a finer piece of-" I couldn't finish because next thing we knew there was a loud crash as his teachers dorm room door getting pushed open.

"Piper, where are you?" Leo's voice could be heard along with his footsteps approaching fast.

Before I even had a chance to tell him Remus was already at the door, hand on the handle, no way Leo would get in and see me like this.

"Piper?" he said knocking on the door. He was calm right now; so far, whoever had brought him here must have calmed him a bit before letting him in.

Remus opened it so only he could be seen "she's a little busy right now, why don't you go sit for a few and we'll be right out" Remus said surprisingly calm as well.

I couldn't see either of them so I was only going on the sound in their voices.

I just heard the door close and Remus came back over to me.

"He's already out there...how are we going to get you out there" he said running a hand through his hair.

"Leo can see me like this, it's no secret I'm one of you. It defiantly won't be when I go out there with white eyes and a bite mark." I said knowing my eyes were probably more noticeable then the mark, I could hide the mark if I wanted...the eyes I could do nothing about.

"Your eyes will fade back in a few weeks...possibly. I never timed mine and I have never met another..." he said grabbing my clothes.

"That's your shirt" I said wondering if he just wanted to flaunt it even more that I was his.

He just smiled at me and set the clothes beside me. I noticed he grabbed the matching set of black lingerie I had snuck in here.

"I didn't want to hurt you more, your shirts are too...tight, might hurt your wound. I also grabbed your...jogging pants?" he said, I had been...educating him in the more modern words like jogging pants...even just the more "Muggle" words for clothes really.

"Alright, help me stand" I said reaching up as far as I could.

He sighed leaning over more and wrapping his arm around my waist placing his other on my stomach keeping me balanced as he lifted me more or less onto my own two feet.

"Want to...wear these? Or is it too much?" he asked looking at the black scraps of cloth I wanted to surprise him with a few days ago.

"...I should wear them..." I said hesitant, what if Leo hugged me or something, not that Remus would really let him that close if I didn't want but still what if he did and I didn't have a bra on? He would definitely feel that.

"But do you really think that's a good idea?" he asked seeing the conflict in my eyes.

It would be more comfortable without it, and I wasn't exactly relaxed even now without any clothes on. Everything in my body hurt right now, every muscle screamed when I moved. Lucky I had years of this so I was a little bit use to it.

I had died a few times and that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I had been thrown around by numerous demons, and I had survived it all...this felt a million times worse...somehow.

"Alright" I sighed letting him dress me. When he got everything on...it was a longer process then I thought it would be. I knew he was taking his time on purpose.

"I don't want you to go out there" he said finally giving in and just telling straight that he didn't want me to do it.

"I know, but this isn't going to go away. I need to deal with him, I promise I'll try making it fast and then...you can lock me in this room as long as you want" I said knowing I'd regret that last part later.

"Now Please...let me do this" I said trying to grab his shoulder so I could try walk a little bit by myself.

He pulled my hand from his shoulder and picked me up bridal-style and walking me out. I took a deep breath as we stepped through the door and looking I saw Leo sitting on the sofa his back to us.

"You can put her down...I know she belongs to you now" he said his voice slightly bitter.

"Then what are you doing here?" Remus asked as he continued to carry me to the loveseat on the other side of the coffee table.

"I'm just here to tell Piper...what she's done" he didn't look up at us he was focused on his hands.

"To make sure you know what you've created...and what you made her into" he said looking right at Remus and forcing himself not to look at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked my voice gentle and calm. It was then he looked at me...and no matter how long...I will never forget the look on his face. It was fear, sorrow, anger...and something way worse I couldn't even name.

"There are consequences to your actions, Piper...you were never meant to join this magic...the two were never supposed to cross. Now you're one of them, and since you're mated to...this thing...you can't go back to San Francisco, you can't ever protect the innocent with your sisters again. And because you did this without knowing...the Elders aren't taking your powers...but you're still not allowed to be Wiccan anymore. You've basically destroyed the power of three in one night" he said stopping to let it all sink in; I couldn't grasp anything he just said I just looked at him then to Remus.

Remus was about ready to tear Leo's head off he could feel how what he said was affecting me even though I didn't even know yet.

"...what's going to happen since she can't go back?" Remus asked knowing I wanted to know but couldn't really form any words at the moment.

"Well since there is no immediate danger to the girls since they already defeated all the great evils...if something does happen, your Kind will never know...We will find a way out of it." He said his voice almost emotionless if it wasn't for the anger that was fighting its way to the surface.

"As you have said, we did not know...now..." he had said calmly but I knew that would be that last of it...as he held on to me a little tighter.

"You're one bloody lucky son of a bitch, that you came here that night after...my wolf is too weak to do anything...but I can still tear your fucking head off with one hand. Now get out of here before you do anything more to hurt my mate" he would have jumped up and been in Leo's face if he was willing to leave my side.

He yelled this and I was sure everybody in the castle heard him.

"You ruined everything..." he said looking right at me and then he orbed out.

I just sat there...I didn't know...my mind was blank...nothingness, not the empty black of deep space, with dots of light in the distance, but the nothing of a lack of things, a lack of people, a lack of floor, or ground or sky...

"Piper, say something darling, talk to me" Remus was panicking now; I could feel his hands on my arms shaking me. I could feel the throbbing in my neck and shoulder from the movements...but at the same time...I couldn't feel it, I didn't care.

I looked into his eyes...and I felt myself return to the earth. I still had him, no matter what. It felt like I was going to pass out and minute now, I took a deep breath and I found .it hard to breath. I grabbed his arm and held on hard...the next thing I knew it was all black.

(Remus' POV)

"Piper, Piper dear wake up" I had her in my lap before her eyes had even closed, but she now lay limp in my arms. Her skin breaking out with heat, I wasn't sure what to do, she had just been changed, and she was weak...

Should I take her to Professor Dumbledore?

Before Mooney was able to do anything about it I was up and entering our fireplace. I was glad he was weak, though it did mean I was too. It was slightly harder to carry her without our collective strength.

Though her tiny 110 pound body wasn't exactly hard to carry but before it had seemed like she wasn't even there.

Walking through to the Headmasters headquarters I franticly looked around for the old man.

"Remus, put her here" I heard him before I saw him; he stood by a long couch. I barely made it over and I put her down as gently as I could and stayed kneeling there beside her.

"How did last night affect her?" he asked seeing the bite on her shoulder.

"She was...um...sore this morning, she can barely move by herself...Professor, I didn't want this. I don't want this, she wanted to wait...I pushed her into something she isn't ready for yet." I spoke my heart, there was nothing I wanted more then to turn back time and change her mind, to take her out of the pain I unleashed on her.

"You assume she isn't ready, Remus. Do you remember who she was before she came here? If she and her sisters were our kind of witches they would be more then powerful enough to get rid of Voldermort." He said

"I know...but look at her Professor. I, I can't stand to see her like this. I never wished this on anyone. Especially her" I said my heart breaking as I looked down at the woman I condemned to this Hell, I swore to myself I would keep it to myself. She looked so small and fragile, her body shaking slightly.

She was pale, which was making all the bruises and marks on her skin even darker. I was glad the Headmaster couldn't see any of them, just the horrid bite mark on her neck and the dark circles around her eyes.

"She will wake eventually...you know this Remus...why did u bring her here?" he asked me.

"You cannot take back what has already happened Remus, this is just something...you are going to have to live with"

I sighed in defeat...there was nothing I could do...I knew somewhere in the back of my mind wanted to ask, or rather tell my old Professor to give me his time turner. I knew he had one, I had seen it more than once when I was going to school here.

But I couldn't, time wasn't something I wanted to mess with, no matter what...it might just make things even worse than they were now. I couldn't take that chance of completely loosing Piper...and if I went back even just too yesterday...it could alter things too much.

Not that Dumbledore would even give it to me, he said himself there is nothing I can do.

"Trust me Professor...I know..."
