“I see you’ve taken a liberal approach to your school robes today” Remus said, eyeing her perfect cleavage poking through the collar of her blouse. Mia grinned, choosing to treat his question as rhetorical.
“What lesson do you have for me today, Professor Lupin?” she said playfully, sitting atop one of the classroom tables and parting her legs slightly.
“Oh, well the floors need a good waxing actually” he said with a chuckle and pulled out a bucket and bottle of floor wax from a cabinet in the front of the classroom, expecting her to do this task without magic.
“wait- I thought you preferred to make detentions into lessons?” she asked, a touch of dissatisfaction creeping into her voice. He couldn’t possibly be serious about her waxing the floors.
“Oh I do, that’s what this is” he walked over to her and leaned in close. “If you tease me in my classroom, your actions have consequences” Remus whispered in her ear. He fingered the collar of her mostly open shirt, giving her a devilish grin. “The quicker these floors get done, the more time well have for what I have planned” he winked at her and began walking up the stairs “I’ll be in my office” he said cheerily. Mia rolled her eyes and grabbed the bucket.
As Mia was scrubbing the floor, she heard footsteps coming down the corridor. She looked up to see Harry Potter walking into the classroom.
“Oh, hey Mia” Harry said, looking at her scrubbing intently “is Professor Lupin here?”
“yes, he’s in his office” she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Harry shot her a sympathetic look as he walked up the stairs and into Remus’s office, and Mia heard “ah Harry, what a wonderful surprise! come in, come in” just before the door closed.
Once Mia was finished scrubbing the floor, the office door was still shut with Remus and Harry inside. Mia walked up the stairs and knocked lightly. Harry opened the door and Mia poked her head in to see Remus sitting at his desk, and they had two cups of tea sitting out that they were sipping on.
“I’m finished with the floors” she said, hoping to hear that Harry was just leaving.
“Ok Mia, thank you. We’ll cut your detention short today so you are free to go”
Mia tried to hide the disappointment on her face that he was sending her away early. She nodded and turned to walk out. Remus didn’t want to have to cut her detention short, boy did he have something in mind for her, but he couldn’t shoo Harry away. Harry was the son of his best friend, and much to this point, Remus hadn’t been able to be a part of Harry’s life due to him being raised by his muggle aunt and uncle, far away from the wizarding world. He was happy to get to know Harry, and become his mentor and friend, as well as his professor. He wasn’t supposed to be doing what he was with Mia anyway, so maybe it was for the best that he sent her off tonight.
Back in the Ravenclaw girl’s dormitory, Mia huffed as she took off her sweater and began changing into her pajamas. She was irritated that she didn’t get to have one more night with Remus alone.
Stupid potter she thought everybody just loooooves harry potter, they’ll stop their whole day for him; Might as well roll out a red carpet every time he walks into the great hall.
She didn’t really dislike Harry, she didn’t know him all too well with him being 4 classes under her, but he was always a nice kid. His name was infamous in the wizarding world as The Boy Who Lived, which was a pretty remarkable thing. Everyone at Hogwarts knew his name, which she heard through the grape vine that he didn’t even know who he was until Hagrid came to deliver the news to him about starting at Hogwarts. She heard his aunt and uncle were a real piece of work too. She sat on her bed in a huff, and began braiding her hair back. She looked at herself in the mirror that rested on the wall across from her.
He’s a teacher, Mia. Don’t be more of an idiot than you have been. She knew she was playing with fire, but she was so drawn to him. Mia looked at her watch. 8:30. Too early for bed, but she was too irritated at the moment to go down and socialize with her fellow housemates. She lay down and pulled the drapes around her bed shut, placing her pillow over her eyes to block out the oil lamps still lit in the dormitory. She hoped she’d be able to get a decent amount of sleep tonight.
Mia met up with Andrew in the library just after dinner on Monday. Currently in Herbology they were studying how to grow and tend to devils snare. Herbology wasn’t Mia’s strongest subject, but she did well because she knew if she didn’t study and put her best effort in her mother would have her head. Susan Roswell was a force to be reckoned with. A previous Ravenclaw and head girl herself, she was always top of her class and sharp as a tack when it came to her spell casting. She had joined the Order of the Phoenix shortly after Mia was born, and was a strong contributing member. Part of her regretted joining after an attack on her family that led her to modify her then muggle husband, john’s memory to forgetting that his wife was a witch and the wizarding world itself. The other half of her knew that she was an essential part of the order, and the fight to stop Voldemort needed to be a collective effort. She was hard on Mia because she wanted Mia to be better than she was, stronger, a more skilled witch, powerful enough that if Voldemort ever returned Mia would be able to defend herself and her family. Susan just barely fought off the death eater there to attack their family, as skilled as she was. It was her greatest fear that she wouldn’t push her hard enough, and she would pay the ultimate price for her lack of knowledge or skill.
As Mia approached the table that Andrew was sitting at, he greeted her with a toothy smile. Andrew was handsome, a tall slender build with dark hair and light eyes. Much more attractive than his younger brother Marcus, who somewhat resembled a troll.
“Hey Mia, thanks again for helping me with this assignment.” He said, pulling her chair out for her.
“sure thing Andrew, now. Devils snare is an extremely tricky plant to tend for…” they studied together for over an hour, Mia going over every detail of devils snare that she possibly knew and could find in the textbooks and attempted to drill it into Andrews head. If anything, at least her knowledge of the plant would be ingrained into her memory forever, if she ever wanted to get into Herbology after Hogwarts. She laughed at the thought. Nah, not for me. Once their brains were tired from all the cramming,
Andrew leaned back in his chair and stretched his arms “ahhh I’m so tired of studying, can we do something more fun?”
Mia chucked “and what is so fun that you want to do on a Monday night?”
“let’s sneak out of the castle and head over to Hogsmeade for a drink” Andrew grinned at her. Mia was pretty sure he was serious, but she wasn’t quite in the rule breaking mood that night.
“yeah and get caught by professor Snape or filch and spend the rest of the year scrubbing cauldrons? I think not” she laughed. “Doesn’t one of your Slytherins have a stash of brandy hidden in the common room?” she asked. She heard that Slytherins were notorious for having contraband stashed about, most of which professor Snape turned a blind eye because everyone knew he favored his house.
Andrew smirked “maybe, too bad you can’t come back and enjoy a glass with me” he winked at her and grinned.
“Yeah ok Flint” Mia rolled her eyes and laughed “I’m headed back to Ravenclaw tower. Send me an owl if you have any Herbology questions this week.” Mia picked up her books and began walking towards the library door.
“hey Mia, wait” Andrew called after her. She turned around to look at him “are you going to the Gryffindor Hufflepuff quidditch match in a couple weeks?”
“of course, everyone is going” she said.
“Sit with me. At the match.” He said, trying to seem as smooth as possible.
“Sure Flint, I’ll sit with you” she said as she turned to walk out the door. It took her until she was around the corner to pick up on the fact that Andrew might have just asked her out. She shrugged it off; she didn’t consider it a date so why should he?
The next couple weeks went on as a typical school year, Mia didn’t get any alone time with Remus, but a few glances here and there in the great hall or classroom made her certain she was still on his mind. She was focused on her classes and helping out Andrew, and was secretly plotting to see if she’d be able to get detention again when it was Remus’ week to have it.
On Halloween, the school was in an uproar. The Fat Lady, the portrait that hung at the entrance to the Gryffindor common, had been attacked and went missing. Percy was jumping into action as Head Boy “ok everybody, remain calm! Professor Dumbledore is on his way!” Penelope and Mia hung back with another group of students, while most of the Gryffindor’s were huddled up to their portrait whispering and chattering. What would’ve done such a thing? Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall came swiftly though the crowd, up to the portrait. They inspected the gashes in the painting with horror. They asked the other paintings to locate the Fat Lady, but then Seamus Finnegan spoke up.
“she’s right there sir, hiding just on that wall!”. Indeed the Fat Lady was cowering behind a bush in another painting.
“milady, who did this to you?” Dumbledore asked kindly, but with concern in his voice.
“it was him!” she cried “eyes black like coal, no emotion, just pure terror!” the fat lady wailed with tears
“who, milady, who?” asked McGonagall, her eyes widening.
“Sirius Black!”. An uproar occurred through the crowd, Mia and Penelope exchanged terrified glances. Sirius black, HERE? Inside Hogwarts? Mia looked over and saw Remus standing near her, waiting for direction on what the staff was supposed to do about the security breach. He looked at her and gave her a reassuring nod. She certainly wished it had made her feel better.
The next few days were thankfully uneventful. Sirius Black was nowhere to be found in the castle and on the grounds, so the Gryffindor’s were able to return to their common room following a night of sleeping on sleeping bags in the Great Hall. The castle was finally starting to settle its nerves after the attack, and classes began to feel normal again. Mia awoke rather early one morning following the attack. She lay in bed for almost an hour, staring at the bottom of the top bunk thinking of class schedule for the day. She had Muggle Studies first thing, her mother insisting she take it so she could keep up the appearance to her father that she was a regular teenage muggle, and then Defense Against the Dark Arts after lunch followed by Charms. Looking at her watch, she got up and shuffled off to the bathroom. If she spent more time in the great hall for breakfast, she might get to accidently bump into Remus before class today. The weather was starting to turn chilly as it was now November, and she hadn’t gotten to have many encounters with Remus since her detention about a month ago. Sure, he was her teacher in class and they exchanged glances on occasion, but Mia was missing the ‘more’ part that felt like it was eons ago.
Mia hung around the great hall for almost an hour, with no sign of Remus. She had chatted with more groups of students than normal just to give herself an excuse to be in the great hall for longer. She chalked it up to him having a quick cup of coffee in his office, and hustled off to Muggle Studies class. Professor Burbage would be talking about muggle fashion today, and Mia couldn’t help but giggle at the thought of her explaining shoulder pads to the class.
After an amusing fashion presentation in Muggle Studies, Mia rushed off to the bathroom to ‘freshen up’ before she would see Remus in class. She fluffed her hair and removed her blue and bronze striped tie, stuffing it into the pocket of her cardigan and unbuttoning her top to show a little bit of cleavage. She decided to leave her skirt its regular length, because she was pretty sure she accidently flashed a couple of Hufflepuff 4th years her panties last time she hiked it up when she dropped one of her school books in the hallway and had to bend down to pick it up. When Mia arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, she was shocked to find professor Snape standing at the front of the room rather than Remus. She slid into her seat next to Penelope.
Mia whispered “why is Snape here??” Penelope just shrugged, looking just as confused.
“good afternoon class, today we are talking about werewolves” Snape began.
“excuse me, sir,” one of the Gryffindor boys that sat in the back of the classroom asked as he raised his hand. “where is professor Lupin?”
“Professor Lupin has fallen ill will be out the next few days so I will be teaching this lesson. Now, who can tell me where the term werewolf came from?” Mia began to tune Snape out and she began to question herself on where Remus may have gone. He didn’t mention to her that he was going to be out part of the week, not that he was required to inform her of his schedule; she just figured it would have come up in class or something. Mia also found it strange that Snape was teaching a lesson about werewolves in a 7th year class, when werewolves were usually covered in the end of third year.
“Miss Roswell I suggest you PAY ATTENTION” Snape hissed as he smacked the top of her textbook. Mia felt like she jumped 3 feet in the air. She looked around and realized everyone’s books were open, and she was about to feel Snape’s wrath if she didn’t get it together for this lesson.
“We’re on page 394, Miss Roswell. Don’t be fooled by my temporary post, I expect a 500 word essay on werewolves on my desk by Monday morning, from all of you” the entire class dared not groan at Snape’s lofty homework assignment. Everyone by now knew not to challenge Snape, it never ended well for those that did.
There was no sign of Remus for the rest of the weekend, and Mia was beginning to worry. Snape said that he had fallen ill, but he seemed completely fine the last time she saw him. Monday morning came around and he wasn’t seen at breakfast, so Mia kept her shirt collar buttoned as usual in case Snape would be teaching them again. She had her 500 word essay on werewolves with her, knowing if professor Snape ever gave you an assignment it was in your best interest to turn it in on time. Her heart fluttered when she walked into the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom and saw Remus standing at the front of the class, a handsome smile on his face and his robes a bit more tattered than usual.
As Mia slid into her seat, he caught her gaze for just a moment. Professor Snape strode into the class holding his hand out for everyone’s werewolf essay. Silently, everyone handed him their parchments and held their breath until he walked out the classroom door.
“Thank merlin we don’t have to have class with him again” whispered Penelope.
“Hello everyone, I apologize for my sudden absence this week, but I hope you all enjoyed class with Professor Snape” Remus said as he smiled a little bit mentioning Snape. The class giggled a little bit, knowing that his’s statement about the potions master was sarcastic. He began teaching the class about some dark magic used in the late 14th century, and how it evolved into the curses we have today. Mia hung onto every word he said, partly because his lesson was very interesting, but also because she couldn’t take her eyes off him. The way he carried himself in front of a classroom so confidently was unbelievably sexy, and he had a grin that made Mia’s stomach do flip flops. At the end of his lesson, she told Penelope that she needed to ask some questions about the lecture and that she’d catch up with her in a few.
“uh, Professor Lupin, could I ask you a few questions about today’s lesson?” Mia asked trying to seem casual as the class was exiting the room.
“Sure Mia, what can I help you with?” Lupin said, smiling at her. She paused as she waited for the last few boys to exit the room.
“I don’t have any questions about the lesson today, actually” she said quickly, looking down at the floor.
“I figured so; I’m guessing you wanted to ask me about my absence last week?”
“Yes, where were you? Are you ok? I didn’t know you were going to be out for the entire weekend” Mia couldn’t help but fire a million questions him. “I was worried” she finished quietly.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. I was feeling a bit under the weather but I’m all right now.” Remus said, looking at her with an understanding smile. “Do you want to come by my office this evening during my office hours? In case you remember that question you were going to ask me” he grinned at her, she knew what he was insinuating.
“I am actually tutoring Andrew Flint tonight in Herbology, but if I have questions with my assignments maybe I’ll come by tomorrow.”
“Ah, Andrew Flint, Slytherin right? I didn’t realize you were close” Mia saw his expression change when mentioning Andrew’s name. Did she maybe just make him a little jealous?
“It’s not like that, Remus. I’m just tutoring him because his mom is pushing him to get good NEWT scores, and I know what that’s like.” Mia explained. Remus smiled at the use of his first name.
“You better head off to charms class, Professor Flitwick doesn’t like tardiness”
“No he doesn’t” Mia laughed “wait- you know my charms class is next?” she asked, surprised that he seemed to know her schedule.
“I like to think I am invested in my students.” Remus smirked. “Feel free to stop by my office if you finish your tutoring early”
Remus kept checking his watch during his office hours, waiting for Mia to stop by, but she never did. He knew she was busy this evening, but he had hoped that maybe she would’ve made time to stop by. Remus, you can’t get this caught up in every little thing she does. You already told yourself that you couldn’t get involved with her because she was a student, and look what happened. Plus, if Susan knew what you were doing with her daughter, she’d hex you so fast you’d never know what hit you. Remus knew Susan from their days in the Order together, but also from their time at Hogwarts. She was Susan Byrne back then, 5 classes ahead of him, and gave him detention once or twice during her tenure as Head Girl. She was a talented witch that took no crap from anyone. Remus chuckled at a memory of Susan busting Sirius and him once sneaking around Hogwarts, as James remained under the safety of his invisibility cloak. His mood fell when thinking of his former best friend Sirius Black. Part of him couldn’t believe that Sirius would sell out James and Lily, he was always so loyal to the Order and was the fiercest of friends, but the other part of him knew the testimonies from witnesses that night that he killed Peter Pettigrew and the street full of muggles. His heart ached at the memories that tore his world apart 12 years ago. He poured himself a glass of scotch that he kept stashed in his office, and hung his head low, trying to push the painful memories out of his head.
