Chapter 11
Lika drug out her suitcases and magicked them into packing themselves. She
was hurrying around gathering up her belongings when there was a rap on the door.
She nervously tiptoed over and looked out the peep hole.
She saw a long silver beard and knew that Albus Dumbledore was on the
other side so she opened the door and gave the best smile she could. She knew she
most look like a train wreck. She had been crying since leaving Remus. As she
thought of Remus the tears began to well up again.
“Good evening Headmaster.” She said in what she hoped was a normal voice.
“Good evening Professor Gypsy.” He replied as he looked around at her bustling
house. “Are you going somewhere?”
“Umm. I’m glad you’re here Professor. I need to resign. I have to leave
immediately.”
Dumbledore did not look surprised at all. He smiled wisely at her before
speaking. “Don’t be ridiculous. Hogwarts will protect much better than anywhere
else.”
Lika stared at him with her mouth open. “I don’t know what you’re talking
about sir. Protect me?”
“I know you had a little journey this afternoon.” He said quietly.
“You do? You impress me sir.” She said in shock. Is Dumbledore a Seer she asked
herself.
“Yes and I’m very glad Professor Lupin went to find you or we might have been too
late.” he replied. “I am, however, unclear of why you were taken. Can you tell me?”
Lika stared at him for a moment waging an internal battle with herself.
“Professor I promise you I can help you but I have to know the circumstances
first.” He coaxed.
She nodded her head and proceeded to tell him everything. He nodded
encouragingly but did not interrupt. When she finished he looked at her with
concern.
“Yes. I think it’s best if you stay with us at Hogwarts. You’ll be much safer.
Malfoy won’t be foolish enough to try anything like that again. Especially since you
disappeared from right underneath his nose. I’ll have to remember to thank
Professor Lupin.”
“It’s a good thing he found me.” she said trying to sound normal and not cry at the
name.
“Lika. Can you tell me what you saw Lucius do?” Dumbledore asked.
“I can. I haven’t told anyone before because......well because I didn’t know who to
tell. But I think I knew in my head even before you asked that it should be you I
told.” She said.
“You flatter me.” He said graciously.
“Next year on Halloween, Malfoy is going to help the Dark Lord rise again.” She
said flatly.
“Voldemort is going to rise again?” Dumbledore said pensively and she nodded. “Do
you know where he is now?”
“He’s in Albania, but so far he is still very weak. He’s not a person, yet not a spirit
either. He is just an evil entity with a faithful servant at his side.” She answered.
“Your abilities really are most remarkable Lika and I’m honored to have you on my
staff.” Dumbledore said.
“No sir, it is I who is honored.” She said through a smile.
“Well, I think it best if you stay at Hogwarts instead of returning home at the end
of the day. Just for a while.” He said.
“Yes. You’re right.” She agreed.
“Bombarda!” a male voice yelled causing her to shriek in fright.
Lika’s front door flew off the hinges and Albus threw himself in front of her
to protect her.
Remus burst through the door shouting “ Damn it Lika. I won’t let you leave.
I lo....” he trailed off his confession as he saw her crouching behind Dumbledore.
“I loathe the thought of you out there unprotected.” He said thinking quickly to
cover himself.
Lika raised herself up on the balls of her feet to see over Professor
Dumbledore’s shoulder. Remus was standing there looking very disheveled.
“Remus.” Dumbledore said pleasantly.
“Hello Headmaster. I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here.” Remus replied feeling
more than a little foolish.
“Please come in. You were quite right trying to stop her. She’s much safer with
us.” Dumbledore said.
Remus gave her a pointed look and sat down at the table with them. She
looked somberly into his eyes and silently apologized. He gave her a small smile and
patted her knee under the table.
“Well I need to be getting back to Hogwarts. Remus will you please make sure she
gets there safely tonight?” Said Dumbledore.
“Of course Albus.” He said. “Will she being staying in the cottages?”
“Yes. Lets set her up in cottage seven.” Dumbledore said as he made his way to the
door.
“Good idea.” Said Remus as the two men continued to talk like Lika wasn’t there.
“Well see you both at tomorrow. Lika thanks for staying and I’m going to leave you
Remus’ capable hands.
“Thank you Headmaster, for convincing me to stay.” She said.
“No. Thank you, for letting me convince you to stay.” He replied as he turned and
left.
They watched Dumbledore disappear into the night and then shut the door.
Lika turned around to face Remus and found he was watching her. She opened her
mouth to speak but found he had moved suddenly and pressed her against the door
causing her to become breathless. He took her lips in a rough and desperate kiss.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him even closer. She
sifted her fingers through his soft hair and moaned into his mouth. His tongue
thrust into the recesses of her warm mouth seeking out her tongue. He dragged
his hands down her body to cup her bottom and pulled her snugly into the cradle of
his thighs so she could feel his hardness pressing against her belly.
He broke away to look at her raptured face and pressed kisses over her
closed eyelids. “I’m sorry.” He whispered and brought her palm to his lips for a
soul kiss.
“I’m sorry too.” She said quietly back to him.
He pressed a kiss to her forehead and backed away. “Come on. We need to
get you to the school grounds. Dumbledore was right. You’ll be much safer there.”
He tugged her to the bedroom so he could help her pack up some things.
“What are the cottages you guys were talking about?” She inquired.
“It’s where the teachers stay if they don’t want to return to their homes for the
night. Some of them think it’s just easier to stay all year at Hogwarts rather than
make the trek everyday. Personally, I come home every night since I’m so close.”
“Oh. Yes that would be easiest. Instead of trying to split things between two
places.” She said as she began packing an overnight bag. Remus watched her with
great interest as she loaded it up.
“You’re beautiful.” He said suddenly.
“Please. I look like crap. My hair is going everywhere, my lips are swollen and my
eyes are puffy. “ She said through her blush.
“You’re still beautiful to me. You’re hair is messed up because my hands were
tangling in it, you’re lips are swollen because of our kisses and you’re eyes are puffy
because I made you cry. I’m sorry I hurt you Lika.” He said lowly, next to her ear
as he leaned in kissed her sweetly on the cheek.
“Me too Remus.” She replied as she reached up to cup his cheek. “I’m ready.”
“Ok. We’ll use floo powder to get there.” He said as he tugged to the fireplace.
When they arrived at cottage seven, Lika looked around. It was a cute little
flat with all the basics and actually appeared quite comfortable. Remus put her
bag down in the bedroom and came back rejoin her.
“Well, I guess I’ll be going. Do you need anything before I go?” He asked
“You.” She said simply.
“Pardon?” he said.
“Please don’t leave me alone. I don’t want to be by myself. Will you stay with me
Remus?” She begged.
“Of course I will.” He said.
As they lay in bed after making love, Remus couldn’t help but think how
perfect everything was. Lika had completely bewitched him and he knew he was
under her powerful spell. Earlier, when Dumbledore was at her house he had come
damn close to telling her that he loved her. He didn’t know what was stopping him
now and had actually opened his mouth to tell her when he heard her snore softly,
signaling she had fallen asleep. He smiled contently and pulled his love closer to
him as he snuggled closer to fall asleep.
