The following evening I found myself in a secluded corner of the Library staring into Severus Snape's eyes intensely. He was trying and failing to block me out of his mind. I sighed and broke contact, leaning back in my seat as he huffed in frustration.
"You're getting better. You just need to be more firm and demanding about it. It's like you don't mind that I'm in there. You have to want me to be gone with everything you have. Determination will get you everywhere." I said and he nodded. I looked to the side where Regulus was sitting and I laughed when I saw that he was taking notes.
"Why don't you have a go Reg?" I asked and his head snapped up to look at me eagerly. He really was quite brilliant. It was a shame that he died getting that Horcrux, he would have done great things. He was almost as good at potions as Snape himself as well as being excellent in all his other subjects as well, except defence against the dark arts, which confused me.
"Let's do it." He said excitedly and I smiled at his enthusiasm. Seeing the smile that graced his lips, he looked more like his brother than I had ever seen him. The more time I spent with Regulus, the more I think that he would have been placed in Gryffindor with his brother. If that had happened, maybe he wouldn't have had to take the mark and he wouldn't be in this place right now, scared for his life and asking the enemy for help. We locked eyes and I pushed through his mental shield, entering his mind.
I tried to steer clear of all memories that had to do with his home life, knowing that it was horrible. I had no desire to see him and Sirius beaten and tortured for no good reason by his parents. I focused on his present mind, that was trying to block me out. I saw his process, how he was thinking whilst he tried to get rid of me. There was a snap and a sharp stinging pain in my mind that had me retreating from his mind and clutching at my head in pain. I growled as the pain didn't recede straight away and I could vaugely hear Snape and Regulus talking hurriedly as they rummaged around.
Then they were pouring something down my throat. For a moment there was a calm silence as the pain rung in my ears and then it faded away until I could open my eyes once again and look at the men in front of me. I smiled at them as I saw concern on their faces. It was the first time I had seen that expression on Snapes face and I couldn't wait to tease him in the future about it.
"That was fucking brilliant Reggie. Good job." I said and they let out a collective sigh of relief.
"You're okay?" He asked hesitantly. I nodded and reached out to squeeze his shoulder in reasureance. He looked down at my hand in astonishment for a moment before covering it with his own and squeezing back. I wondered briefly how much it would change if I tried to save the boy. I shook the thoght from my mind, storing it away for contemplation later.
"Next time though, focus more on making it hurt less, at least for practicing with me. The pain could come in handy in battle, making your opponants week so you can either get away or kill them swiftly." I said.
"Why would you encourage us to kill people?" Snape's voice drawled.
"Believe it or not, Sev, but I don't want you to die. War is coming and you're on the side that expects you to be ruthless and unforgiving. If you don't kill, they will question your loyalty and even kill you for wavering in the slightest. I'm trying to save your lives." I said.
"Thank you." Reggie whispered after a moment of silence.
"But why do you care?" Snape asked. I sighed.
"Because you're not like the others. You have morals, you know what they're forcing you to do is wrong. You may have chosen to join them but you didn't know what you were getting yourself into. Reg was forced by his parents. You're just innocent people sucked into a mad mans insane plans to rid the world of a stain that doesn't exist." They looked at me with incredulousness.
"I have to go or Remus is going to come looking for me. I'll see you Wednesday." I said as I stood up and grabbed my bag from in the floor. Before I could do anything about it, Snape grabbed my arm and pulled me so that I was face to face with him and our eyes locked. He forced his way into my mind with precision and I tried to block all images of the future from his grasp but he was relentless. He saw himself, berating me for being a know it all. In my mind, I always saw him as a cruel bitter old man and that's how he came across to Snape now. He pulled out of my mind with a snap, and stared at me in mixed horror and fascination.
"Was that real? Are you a seer or something?" He asked as I pulled my arm from his grasp moving away from him as he burned me. Reggie watched us with abject atention, wondering what Severus had seen.
"Don't you ever go into my mind without my permission again or I will kill you." I snarled at him, letting my wolf give some of her ferocity. Snape recoiled as if I'd slapped him.
"I'm leaving." I said and then stalked away from them and out of the library.
I felt violated and betrayed as I stalked through the halls and back to the Gryffindor common room. I paused in an empty hallway off from the main ones and closed my eyes, calming myself down. He didn't know what he saw. He thought it was a vision. I could use that as an excuse. He didn't know. Finally I could breath properly again, so I continued on my way to the common room. It was Monday evening, five minutes away from curfew so their were only about three or four people in the common room, the rest were in their dorms.
I paused at the door to look around the room, my eyes immediately drawn to Remus pacing in front of the fire. As soon as my eyes locked onto him he looked up at me and inhaled deeply. He walked over and I smiled at him but he didn't return the gesture. I frowned as I saw his eyes flash gold. What was his problem? He stopped in front of me and inhaled again, deeper this time. A growl left his throat and I took a step back instinctively.
"Why do you smell like Snape and Regulus?" He asked and I realised that I should have seen this coming.
"What's it to you?" I asked, standing my ground. Just because he didn't like it, didn't mean I was going to let him boss me around.
"I can't smell you now. It's distracting and unpleasant." He said in quiet explanation, relaxing his threatening stance when he saw how defencive I had become.
"I was just about to go take a shower anyway. So I'll smell like me again in no time." I said and he nodded. I went to move around him and go up stairs to the bathrooms but he grabbed my arm, much the same as Snape had just before. I growled at him and pulled my arm away, glaring at the offending limb with the intent to maime or seriously injure but Remus immediatly stepped back and apologised.
"Sorry Mia." I nodded but said nothing, not looking him in the eye.
"Why were you with them? Did they attack you?" He asked concerned now.
"Have they ever attacked anyone, other than James and Sirius?" I asked him.
"No." He replied somewhat reluctantly as he saw where I was going with the point.
"Then what makes you think that they would start now?" I asked. He didn't respond.
"You didn't answer my question." He said and I raised an eyebrow at him.
"No, I didn't and I'm not going to. I'm a big girl Remus. I can take care of myself. And I certainly don't need you to tell me who I can and can't talk to. I have no illusions as to who they are." I said and he put a hand under my chin, raising my head to look at him. I met his eyes reluctantly and saw that there was only concern there.
"I'm only trying to look out for you." He said as he moved his hand from my chin to my cheek, caressing my skin. I leaned into his hand and kissed the pad of his thumb as it traced my lips.
"I know. But I know what I'm doing. I like that you care though." I said and he smiled at me.
"Of course I care."
"Good."
"Do you want some company in the shower?" He asked with a cheeky smirk as he looked down at my lips.
"No thanks, I think I can wash myself." I said and he pouted in the most adorable manner that it made me laugh. I couldn't help but tease him more. I leaned in to whisper into his ear.
"Just imagine all that water, running down my naked body. The soap that touchs my skin, lathering against me." I said as I kissed the spot just behind his ear. He growled and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling my body flush up against his. I smiled smugly as he buried his face in my neck and nuzzled me, placing soft kisses against my skin as if to convince me to change my mind and let him come with me.
"The soap is to slippery and it falls out of my hands and onto the ground. I bend over at the waist to pick it up and my arse is in the air, my opening clear as day, waiting to be pounded into, but you're not there, because I didn't invite you." I said and he growled again, biting down hard on my neck. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I nibbled on his ear lobe teasingly.
"Sweet Merlin, Mia." He breathed into my skin and I laughed as his hands traveled down my back and landed on my arse, sqeezing roughly. He rolled his hips against mine and I could feel his erection against my stomach.
"Now now. Don't get too handsy." I said as I unwrapped myself and grabbed his hands, pulling them away from my arse as I stepped back from him. I looked at his face to see that it was flushed, his cheeks a bright, sweet red. His eyes were dilated and gazing at me hungrily. I smirked at him before looking around the room.
The few that were left seemed to have left whilst I was occupied so now we were alone. My wolf yipped happily in my mind, all thoughts of Snape completely gone from my mind. I wanted to play. I spun around and skipped over to the couch as Remus watched me. I looked at him coyly and crooked a finger at him, wanting him to chase me. I was in a mood. He obliged.
He chased me around the room as I laughed and evaded him. Before he could catch me I ran to the girls dorm stair case and out of his reach. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at me witha whine. He reached out to try and pull me back down to him but I was too far away from him. I waved at him anad turned to walk up the stairs to the bathroom to have a shower but he called out to me.
"Hey Mia." He said and I turned to look at him. He was smiling mischieviously and I raised an eyebrow at him. Then I realised what he was about to do.
"You wouldn't dare." I said and he smirked
"I would and I will." He said and then stepped on the stairs. A pained look came over my face as I waited for the inevitable. The stair case turned into a slide and I fell as I slid down to him. He stood over me with a smig expression, offering me his hand. I growled at him but took it, and he smirked once more as he hoisted me over his shoulder. "
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" I said as he lead me over to the boys dorm.
"Taking you to have a shower." He said.
"No way am I showering in the boys dorm Remus. You can't make me." I said petulantly. He said nothing as he carried me up the first two flights of stairs. Then he paused in front of a painting, tapped it with his wand and it opened. He took me through and shut it behind him. It was some kind of secret passage way. Of course it was.
"Where does this lead Rem?" I asked but he stayed silent. Stubborn arse. Eventually we made our way to the end of the passage way and came out of another portrait. We were in the prefects bathroom. I smiled slightly as he put me down and then went to run the bath. When it was full, he took of his shirt, shoes, socks pants and underwear and then got into the hot water.
He didn't say anything which was frustrating. He practically kidnapped me and now he's not speaking to me? Men. I have no clue how their minds work. It was a complete mystery. Fuck it, I thought as i started to take off my clothing as well. I was still sore from the transformation a couple of days ago and a hot relaxing bath is just the thing I need to ease the ache. I folded up my clothes in a neat pile and then climbed into the bath. I sat in the corner as I enjoyed the sting of the hot water on my skin as i watched Remus swim around idly. After a while, I tried getting his attention with silly things.
"The sky is actually purple."
"Do you think Sirius is colour blind?"
"I wonder if Peter likes cheese a little too much for it to be a coincidence."
"My Patronus used to be an otter." The last one made him snort in amusement.
"Hey, what's wrong with an otter?" I asked, mildly affended at his reaction.
"Nothing, I just never imagined your patronus could be something so placid and passive." He said as he floated on his back, staring at the ceiling.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"You have too much fire and passion for something so small and insignificant." He said and I smiled slightly, liking that he thought that of me even if I didn't completely believe him. I rolled my shoulders, trying to rid myself of the aches that resided in my muscles. I closed my eyes as I massaged my skin, willing it to feel better though it didn't do as I wanted.
All of sudden, there were strong calloused hands on my shoulders, taking over the massaging and I melted into the hands. I didn't have to open my eyes to know it was Remus. Even if we weren't the only two people in the room, I could smell him. The fresh clean scent of chocolate and spices filled my nose as I inhaled deeply, leaning into him.
"Turn around." He whispered into my ear and I did as I was told. His hands needed the flesh of my shoulders until I was a sighed in relief.
"You have magic hands." I said breathlessly and he chuckled behind me.
"This isn't all they know how to do, love." He said deeply, making me shiver. His hands moved down over my back, massaging me until I was a pile of mush and leaning against the side of the bath for support. He moved forward and wrapped his arms around my waist, pressing the lengt of his body against mine and I could feel his erection hot and hard against arse.
"Remus." I whispered as I felt the wetness between my legs. He kissed my shoulder languidly, making me moan. I rolled my hips back into his drawing a long low moan from his lips. I smiled slightly as he bit down on my skin.
"Why are we going so slowly human? We want him now!" My wolf growled in annoyance. I turned in his arms once more, and wrapped my legs around his waist. I could feel his hard cock at my entrance and I wiggled my hips, trying to convey my wants to him. It was then that he kissed me, hard and passionately, taking no prisoners as the muggles say.
He thrust into me hard and I cried out in pleasure. He filled me up to the hilt, and grazed against my sensitive walls, causing tingles of pleasure to run through me. I arched my back, pressing my breasts against his muscular chest and he smiled against my lips. He pulled out slowly, teasing me and then pushed back in once more. He continued this agonising pace for a few minutes, causing me to whine and whimper, wanting more, needing more.
I growled at him when he grabbed my thrusting hips, keeping them still and unable to speed up the pace. I was in sweet agony. He pounded into me hard and slow and I could feel a coil inside of me tightening and tightening at a snail's pace. I could see sweat forming on his forehead, as he kept control of himself. I kissed and nipped at his cheeks, jaw and then his neck, hoping that it would entice him to go faster and harder.
And then I felt it, that whole body silence right before you came crashing down in an orgasm. He thrust into me one more time and I screamed out as I came. I felt the white hot pleasure course through my entire body from my fingers to my toes as my walls constricted around his member. I felt him grunt as his movements became slower and more erratic and then he released his seed into me with one last thrust, just as I was coming down from my high.
He rested his head against my shoulder as he caught his breath and I did the same.
