Author's notes:
Hi guys! hope you all are enjoying fic this so far. The storyline from here starts to take its own shape, so if the events of the book have made this story predictable, hang in there with me! this next chapter has a couple trigger warnings for abuse and violence, which i will mark the passage with ***** before and after.

Mia walked up the stairs to Remus’s office with sweaty palms and her heartbeat in her ears. She wasn’t sure the extent of how upset he was at seeing her and Andrew kiss the night before. When she reached the top of the stairs, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She walked in, relaxing her posture and trying to act natural. Remus was sitting at his desk, his sandy brown hair hanging around his face as he had his focus on his parchment and quill in front of him.
“What can I do for you, Miss Roswell?” he said flatly, not looking up from his desk work.
“I- I wanted to talk to you about last night” she stuttered “it wasn’t what it looked like from your perspective.”
“Oh I believe it was exactly what it looked like. You spend quite a bit of time with Andrew Flint, its only curious as to what you are doing in that time.”
“Remus, it’s not like that...” she began, but was cut off, his tone stern, and unlike him.
“Professor Lupin” he corrected her. “Now if you don’t have a question on this week’s assignment, Miss Roswell; that will be all”.
She was dumbfounded, he was calling her by her surname, which was a common thing from someone like McGonagall or Snape, but Remus was usually much more informal with his students face to face. Not only that, he corrected her into calling him Professor, which was usually only done when she was around other students and teachers. She had been calling him Remus for months now, and she sensed he was ending things with her by the way he was speaking to her.
“I-“she choked on her sentence, not sure how to respond to him. He hadn’t looked up at her the entire time she had been standing there.
“That will be all.” He said again, continuing scribbling with his quill.
Mia felt the hot sting of tears fill her eyes, her heartbeat in her ears returned again, and she felt quite ill all of a sudden. She took off, sprinting down the stairs and out the classroom, headed for the girl’s bathroom to vomit. Remus threw his quill down once she had left his office, and ran his hands through his hair in frustration.
“That was a little harsh, Moony, don’t you think?” Sirius said, emerging from the bedroom and walking down the stairs into the office.
“Sod off, Padfoot” Remus snarled, getting up from his desk and walking over to the stained glass window that overlooked the black lake.
“Hey, don’t get mad at me, I didn’t snog her” Sirius said with a wicked grin, trying to make Remus ease up. It wasn’t working.
“I saw her Sirius; she was kissing that boy back. She is MINE and she had her tongue down someone else’s throat”
“Getting a little possessive, are we now?” Sirius chuckled.
“The wolf in me tends to get possessive.” Remus said quietly, looking blankly out the window.
“You love her, don’t you?” Sirius asked as he put a hand on Remus’s shoulder. Remus just nodded his head weakly.
“I should’ve known that a girl 15 years younger wouldn’t stick around. I should’ve known that when she found out about me it was only a matter of time before she would want to be with someone, well, not me. I’m too old, too poor…” his voice trailed off, looking back out the window again.
“Remus, I don’t think that’s the case. I think you should allow her to explain her side of things. It may not be what you think. I see the way she looks at you; I believe her feelings for you are true. If you push her away, that will be on you. Your choice, my friend.”
Remus sighed. “It always comes down to the wolf Sirius. My entire life I’ve been plagued by this illness that rules my relationships and job choices. She will want to be with someone young, and whole, whether she realized it already or not. I’m her teacher on top of all this, what on earth have I gotten myself into?”
“So, you’re just going to sit here and throw a pity party for yourself? That’s it? When things get tough Remus it’s easy to blame the wolf for all your problems and retreat into a bottle. But if YOU don’t allow her to explain herself, you will never know if things will work out. You owe her a chance to explain herself.”
Sirius wasn’t usually the one in the past to give Remus tough love, that was usually James, telling him to perk up and get out of his own head. Sirius was much more of the jokester type, so if Sirius Black got serious with you, you needed to listen. Remus, however, was not in the mood to listen to his friend. Remus ran his hands through his hair roughly. He took a breath and then walked over to where he kept his scotch hidden and poured himself a glass, slumping in to his desk chair. Sirius sighed in frustration, walking back up the stairs to the bedroom, muttering something crude about Remus being a drunk under his breath.
Mia barely made it to the girl’s lavatory before throwing up. She hacked as she vomited, tears streaming down her face and barely being able to breathe in between sobs. Her entire world was crashing down and she didn’t know how to cope. She loved him, and she hadn’t even gotten the chance to tell him. She heard a small knock on her stall door.
“Are you ok in there?” a girl’s voice asked as the door to the stall opened.
It was Hermione Granger, hair wild and bushy but her uniform was pristine and pressed perfectly. Behind her was Ginny Weasley, unmistakable by the flaming red hair that all the Weasley children had.
“I’m fine, Hermione” Mia said flatly.
“You don’t look fine” Ginny said.
“You don’t have to talk about what happened, but can we sit with you?” Hermione asked.
Mia paused for a moment, then nodded. Her and Ginny came into the stall and sat next to Mia, hugging her as she cried. How pathetic she thought you are being consoled by a 2^nd and 3^rd year. They probably don’t even like boys yet. Yet still Hermione and Ginny’s presence did make Mia feel more comfortable. She cried in the bathroom for another 20 minutes, and then the girls insisted they walk with her to her common room.
“Thanks” Mia said as they reached Ravenclaw tower. “Could we, uh, keep this between us?” she asked the girls, hopeful that by morning the whole school wouldn’t know about her meltdown.
“We won’t tell a soul!” Ginny said, winking at her.
She nodded at the two younger girls and headed up the stairs to the common room. She didn't want think, didn't want to feel. Tonight was the night she was going to use the sleeping draught that Remus had given her.
The next week, Mia avoided Remus at all costs. She even skipped 2 days of his class, telling Penelope to cover for her if asked. She spun a story to her about helping Professor Sinistra with setting up the Astronomy class for the first years, but Mia knew that he would know why she was actually skipping. It didn’t seem like he wanted to bring it up with Flitwick, her head of house, because she faced no repercussions so far. She also did her best to avoid Andrew, who was on her hip the entire week. She kept trying to blow him off, but he kept appearing when she wasn’t expecting him to. He had tried to kiss her in the great hall a couple times, but she would dart away and make an excuse as to somewhere she needed to be.
**********************
Friday evening that week, Mia was walking down a corridor not far from the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom, on her way back to Ravenclaw tower for the night. She was thinking of Remus, as the full moon would be here the next day, she always worried about how difficult his recovery was going to be. She was feeling pain in her chest from anxiety of not being able to see him, hug him, and have her affection returned. Out of nowhere, she felt something grab her arm. It was Andrew. He grabbed her upper arm and pushed her against the stone wall of the corridor.
“You’ve been avoiding me.” Andrew said, flatly. The smell of alcohol overwhelmed Mia as Andrew and she were sharing the same breathing space. The Slytherins were known to keep some alcohol stashed in their common room, but it smelled as if Andrew drank it all himself.
“Flint, I’ve tried to tell you that kiss was a mistake, I am only interested in being friends.” Mia said, questioning why he held such a tight grip on her arm.
“You think you can just walk around here, being a tease with your shirt unbuttoned down to your bra and your skirt hiked up, and not receive attention for it?” he growled.
“It isn’t yours that I am after. I am interested in someone else” Mia said sharply at him. “Now let my arm go, you’re hurting me. You’ve had a lot to drink and smell like the bottom of a bottle”.
“I can’t believe I liked you, you filthy slut!” Andrew yelled and slapped her across the face, causing her lip to bleed.
Mia pulled out her wand, but Andrew was quicker than she was and ripped it from her hand, throwing it down the corridor.
“You lead me on for MONTHS and when I finally come to collect you brush me off like I’m a dung beetle!”
“Andrew…” Mia started, her chin quivering.
He threw her onto the ground and kicked her in the ribs a few times. She cried out in pain, feeling them crack as he struck her. Her fight or flight instincts began to kick in, wanting to flee terribly, but she froze. She was paralyzed in her mind, not able to fight back, but not able to run either. He grabbed her by her hair and dragged her onto her feet. She was scared, she had never seen Andrew behave like this before, and didn’t know what he was capable of.
Meanwhile, Remus was trying to keep himself distracted from the worry of the impending full moon when he smelled Mia’s perfume, faint, but unmistakable. He then got a strong wind of whisky, and a trace smell of blood. He opened the Marauders map to see the footprints of Mia Roswell and Andrew Flint down the corridor, together, in very close proximity. He slammed the map down and grabbed his wand. He was going to catch the two of them red handed, AGAIN, and that would verify that things were over between him and Mia. I knew she could never love me. Never love what I am. He followed their scent, remembering also were he saw the set of footprints on the map. When he peeked around the corner, he was horrified at what he saw. Mia was crying, with her lip swollen and bleeding slightly. Andrew had her pinned against the wall, her hands bound above her head with a rope binding charm. He was hiking up her skirt, ripping at her panties to get them off quickly.
“Andrew… please…” she begged, trying to free herself, but Andrew was stronger. He was a foot taller than her, making it easy to overpower her.
“I’m going to teach you that if you act like a slut, you will get treated as one” he growled as he was fidgeting with his pants, her panties torn off of her and lying on the ground at her feet.
Remus felt anger flash over him, an anger he hadn’t experienced before, almost as if he was losing his mind during a wolf transformation. He ran up to Andrew and Mia, grabbing Andrew by the collar and throwing him off of Mia, his head banging against the stone wall on the other side of the corridor. With a wave of his wand, her hands were free.
“Mia- go to my office” Remus directed as he grabbed Andrew by the collar, who had been knocked out by the blow. “I’m taking this piece of shit to the headmaster’s office”.
************************************
Mia ran into Remus’ office and sat down on the plush couch. She curled up into a ball and kept crying. The slap across the face, Andrew ripping her underwear off of her, it all kept replaying in her mind. Remus had gotten there just in time, before Andrew had gotten the chance to do what he was planning. Sirius heard the girl’s sobs, and came down to see her crumpled in a heap on the emerald sofa.
“What did Moony do this time? Need me to straighten him up a bit for ya, kitten?” Sirius said in a playful tone. His facial expression changed to stone serious when Mia sat up and looked at him, Sirius seeing the bruises on her and her swollen, bleeding lip. “Merlin’s beard, Mia, what happened?”
Mia sobbed as she told Sirius about Andrew was drunk and attacking her, and how Remus found them and pulled him off of her. Sirius made her a cup of tea, and sat down on the couch with her.
“It’s not your fault” Sirius said after a minute of silence.
“It is though; he said I walk around this school looking like a slut. Maybe it’s true” she muttered, wiping her tears.
she was ashamed. Ashamed that someone almost defiled her, and she felt responsible.
“You could walk these halls naked, Mia, and you still weren’t asking for it. I am telling you, it is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Where is Remus now?”
“Dragging Andrew off to Dumbledore’s office; He knocked him out when he threw him off of me.” Mia said, thinking back to the relief she felt when he appeared.
“His aggression is up because of the moon” Sirius said. “I overheard your conversation last week… are you ok?”
“I’m fine” Mia said too quickly, Sirius picking up on the fact that she most certainly wasn’t ok with how she and Remus had left things. “He just hates me, that’s all.”
“He doesn’t hate you, darling” Sirius began, his eyes twinkling at her. “Remus is very insecure about his illness. Always has been. He goes through periods where the self-loathing is worse than others though. He’s convinced that he can’t have happiness because of what he is. He felt like that was validated when he saw you kiss that boy.”
“I didn’t kiss him, He kissed me!” Mia cried “I just kissed him back for a second because I wanted to see if it felt like when I kiss Remus. It didn’t. I love him, Sirius, and I didn’t get the chance to tell him. I love him regardless of if he’s a werewolf or not. I cannot live without him.”
Sirius smiled at her “well then, Kitten, you need to tell him. He needs to hear that from you. If he won’t listen, MAKE him listen.” Mia shed a couple more tears and nodded. “You want to play some Gobstones? Remus keeps a set in his drawers and I haven’t played Gobstones since I was a 6^th year”
“Only if you’re prepared to lose” Mia sniffled, smiling and wiping her face. “Let me change and clean up first. Hopefully Remus won't mind if I borrow a shirt; I need out of these clothes”.
Remus dragged Andrew by the collar all the way to Dumbledore’s office without breaking a sweat. It might have been adrenaline, but it might’ve been the increased endurance and strength that came the day before the transformation. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, working in a rather large dragon hide covered book that had at least 1000 pages in it.
“Albus, this boy attacked another student” Remus said angrily. Dumbledore shifted in his seat, his eyes perked up from behind his half-moon spectacles.
“Why is he unconscious?” Dumbledore asked calmly.
“Well... I might’ve used a little too much force in stopping the attack…” Remus said sheepishly, scratching his head. “He was going to rape her, Albus, i walked around the corner in just enough time.”
Dumbledore looked shocked at the accusation against Andrew. “Who was the student?” he asked.
“Mia Roswell” Remus said, looking down at Andrew with disgust.
“Where is she now? Is she alright?”
“She’s waiting in my office” Remus said,
“see to it that Miss Roswell makes it to the hospital wing tonight. Ill speak with her in the morning . leave Mr. Flint here, I’ll see him to the hospital wing myself and determine the best course of action.”
“thank you, sir” Remus nodded and walked out. He broke out into a jog when he got around the corner, wanting to get to Mia as fast as possible.
When Remus got back, he found Mia sitting on the floor in one of his button down shirts, with Sirius across from her playing Gobstones. Her lip had stopped bleeding, but she had a bruise creeping up around her eye.
“Hey Moony, Come referee this next match” Sirius chuckled as he was sprayed in the face with whatever nasty concoction was used in Gobstones. Mia was smiling, seeming much more at ease now that she had been kept busy with the game.
“Sirius, I’d like to talk to Mia if that’s alright” Remus said warmly, giving him a look that said ‘thank you’ for caring for her.
Sirius nodded “‘til next time, kitten” he winked at her and sauntered off to Remus’s bedroom. She giggled at Sirius’ funny walk, and then stood up to walk back to the couch.
“I borrowed a shirt, I hope that’s ok?” she said softly. “I needed out of mine” her eyes went to the floor as she was reliving the memories of an hour before.
“Are you alright?” he asked, sitting on the sofa across from her.
“I think so” she said, not meeting his gaze.
“I’m sorry” he said.
“For… me being attacked?” she asked, confused.
“For everything.” He began “I should’ve heard you out when you stopped by my office. I shouldn’t have shut you out because of something that seemed not what it was. I know that now, but I worry the damage has been done” his eyes were looking at the floor now, the slightest bit of tears forming. “If he had-“
“He didn’t.” Mia cut him off, not wanting to hear the words aloud. “You got there in just the right amount of time. How’d you know I was there?”
“I saw your names on the map, but it was your perfume that made me look.” He said, a small smile creeping onto his face, thinking about how lovely the scent mixed with her body’s natural smell.“And the scent of whisky, and blood”.
They were quiet for a minute, until Mia broke the silence.
“I came to your office the night I met Sirius to tell you something, Remus.”
She got up from the couch and began to pace. Remus held on to every word, curious as to what she had to say. Her fair skinned legs showed off nicely under the hem of his shirt, however tainted with a couple bruises from earlier. His shirt hung to her mid-thigh, and was much too large for her, but it gave her a sense of comfort to wear it. Mia leaned back against the stone wall of the office, looking at the floor.
“I don’t know how to say this, so I’m just going to say it.” She breathed. “I Love you, Remus. I have never felt this way about anyone before. I love you so much it makes me sick. When you were upset with me, my entire world came crashing down. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t stand the thought of losing you.”
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
“I didn’t mean to kiss Andrew, he kissed me first and I was curious if it felt like when I kissed you. It didn’t. There was no spark, no passion. It happened so fast and then you were there and I’m so so sorry!”
She began to sob, tears now rolling down her face. Remus jumped up and came over to her, wrapping his arms around her, only to be stopped by her hissing in pain. He pulled the shirt up to see bruising all along her ribs, consistent with the thought of them being broken.
“Oh Mia, you’re injured worse than I realized”
Anger flashed through him again. He took a deep breath and tried to shake the feeling. His aggression heightened before the transformation, he had to work to keep his temper in check. He cupped her tear stained cheek and pulled her head up so her eyes met his. His crisp, blue irises were vibrant, and he gave her a loving gaze.
“That’s why I was so angry” he began, speaking just above a whisper. “Because I love you too.”
More tears fell from Mia’s face as he kissed her, the most passionate kiss they had shared to date. It was gentle as Remus knew she was injured and didn’t want to hurt her, but their connection between them strengthening as the finally revealed a deep part of themselves to each other.
As they pulled away, Remus spoke softly. “Please let me take you to see Madam Pomfrey, let her help you.”
Mia nodded, and began walking up the stairs to his bedroom to change back into her tattered school robes, as it wouldn’t be smart for her to show up at the hospital wing wearing only a professor’s shirt. When she walked in, Sirius was sitting in a dark corner of the bedroom, grinning at her.
“Did you and Moony kiss and make up?” he teased, knowing the answer because he had been eavesdropping.
“Out, Sirius, it’s not polite to watch a lady change.” She joked, pretending to be snobbish as she said it.
Sirius grinned at her “who said I was polite?”
Mia rolled her eyes at him, she was used to Sirius’ humor by now; she found it quite entertaining. She pointed to the door, and he winked and gave a chivalrous bow as he exited, sauntering off down the stairs. Mia snickered to herself as she heard the gentleman down the stairs bantering with each other. She was so thankful she had the both of them to make her feel better after what had just happened.
Arriving at the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey put her arm around her and hustled her in. “my dear, I wish you would’ve came sooner, I would’ve been able to stop the bruising” she got Mia changed into hospital robes, and performed some healing charms on her to fix her bones and ease some swelling. She also handed her multiple different potions to take, insisting on her drinking them all. The last one must’ve been a sleeping draught, as just a few moments after drinking it, she began to feel sleepy.
Mia woke to daylight the next morning, with a wicked headache and a visitor sitting by her bed. Professor Dumbledore was gazing at her through his half-moon spectacles, wearing robes of rich magenta.
“Ah, Miss Roswell, glad to see you’ve awoken” he said pleasantly. “How are you feeling?”
“My head is pounding, sir, but other than that, I think Madam Pomfrey has helped a ton.” She said hoarsely, taking a sip of water from the glass from the bedside table.
On the table was an assortment of candy that Penelope had brought by, and Mia saw that Dumbledore had helped himself to a couple licorice wands while waiting on her to wake up.
“Mia, I’d like to hear your side of what happened with Andrew Flint last night” Dumbledore asked.
She told him exactly how it happened from her perspective, leaving out of course details that would tip off Dumbledore about her relationship with Remus.
“Mr. Flint is having a complete schedule change so he will not be in any of your classes, and he has a laundry list of punishments coming his way. For the next couple weeks he is suspended from the grounds.” Dumbledore started. “He will be kept away from you as much as possible when he returns. I’ve also sent an owl home to your mother, letting her know that you are all right and what action we are taking against Mr. Flint”.
“You owled my mother????” Mia growled in frustration.
She knew Susan would be FURIOUS, and she didn’t want to have to deal with her mother making the situation into a big production when she just wanted to forget it happened. She wanted to erase the memory from her brain.
“I know Susan can be difficult when she is angry” Dumbledore said reassuringly “but this was one event that we have to notify a parent. She won’t be angry with you, this isn’t your fault.”
“I know that, sir, she just will want to fight it out with his family and I just want to forget it happened”.
Dumbledore’s eyes twinkled at her, “soon this will feel like a distant memory. Just try to get some rest, please stop by my office if I can do anything for you.”
“Thank you professor” Mia said, watching his magenta robes swing back and forth as he exited the hospital wing.
As much as Mia had trouble pushing the thought of Andrew out of her head, she also kept returning to the thought of Remus. He loved her too, but she wasn’t sure what this was going to mean for them in the future. She couldn’t stand the thought of being without him, but she wasn’t sure how she could build a life with him as a werewolf. She then had a lightbulb go off in her head, remembering her werewolf essay that she turned into Professor Snape, as well as all the extra reading she had done. She began thinking of all the information she had learned about werewolves, their transformation, and their minds before, during and after the full moon. It was clear to her, she needed to learn 2 very specific types of magic to secure her future- and she knew just who to ask.
