Mia awoke just a moment later, on the floor of the DADA classroom with a few students and professor Snape hovering over her. Snape looked less than pleased that she had just fainted.
“Miss Clearwater, would you please walk Miss Roswell to the hospital wing to see Madam Pomfrey?”
Mia was about to protest but decided not to argue, she did just pass out after all. As they walked down the corridor towards the hospital wing, Penelope began to fire a million questions at her.
“Mia, what happened, what’s wrong? It’s been years since you’ve had a panic attack.”
Mia was irritated by her flood of questions, but she knew that Penelope was just worried. She brushed her off with an ‘I’m feeling stressed about NEWTs excuse’, putting Penelope a little more at ease. Mia was just glad that she’d be able to get a few minutes alone while Madam Pomfrey would insist for her to rest.
Remus was back after a few days, but Mia was avoiding him as much as possible without making it obvious. She wasn’t sure if she should ask him outright if he was a werewolf, unsure if it was rude to ask, but also afraid of hearing it was true. She had focused her energy on hanging out with Penelope and by proxy, Percy, and made a couple more study session plans with Andrew to help him for his next big Herbology test. She would sit in the library before meeting Andrew and ponder the thought of him being a werewolf, her face buried in textbooks with as much information about werewolves she could find. As the days passed the thought of it was less and less scary to her. He was still himself; he had always been the same person, so why would her knowledge of his condition change anything?
She had overheard Harry Potter telling his friends that Remus was going to teach him some magic to help repel the dementors, and Mia felt her face go hot. He’s going to teach hot shot Potter, so why wouldn’t he teach me? Maybe he is going to but hasn’t talked to me about it yet. She knew it was time to talk to him; she couldn’t avoid him any longer. He had office hours that night for students with homework and lesson questions, so she decided she would pay him a visit after dinner.
When Mia walked into Remus’ office, he was working on some paperwork that he looked at very intently. When he noticed she walked in, he set his quill down and gave her a handsome smile.
“Mia, hey, what can I do for you?”
“Are you feeling better?” she asked, deciding to ease into the question.
“Yes much better, I am behind on some paperwork and essay grading unfortunately, so I’ve been playing catch up all day” he said, rustling some of the papers out of the way of his desk. Mia couldn’t wait any longer; she sat on the armrest of the plus green couch and cast her eyes downward.
“Remus… why is it you are always ill on days that line up with a full moon?” she asked quietly. She looked up at him; he had stiffened in his chair and had an odd expression on his face.
“the way you ask that question, Mia, sounds like you already know the answer” he said evenly, his tone calm but emotionless.
“You’re a werewolf” Mia whispered. He nodded his head, his expression unchanged. They locked eyes, neither of them able to look away nor wanting to speak first.
“Are you frightened?” he asked emotionless after a minute, his tone still even and gaze locked on her.
“No” she began, getting up from the armrest of the couch and walking over to his desk. “more afraid to ask the question than to hear the answer”
She walked behind his desk and leaned against it, facing him.
“I had already come to terms with it before I even got the courage to ask you.” She said, “How long have you been one?”
He turned in his chair to look at her. “I was 5 when I was infected.” He said, remaining emotionless.
5 she thought how terrible to experience that as a child. She could tell that he didn’t want to relive those memories at the moment, so she changed the subject.
“I heard you were teaching Potter the Patronus Charm. I want you to teach me” she said. His expression changed to slightly surprised.
“How did you know I was going to tutor Harry on that?” he asked
“I overheard him tell Hermione Granger”
“Mia, the patronus charm is extremely advanced magic…” he began.
“Potter is a 3rd year, I am a 7th year, and if anything I should be learning it before him. If a dementor comes near me again, you might not be able to protect me next time. I need to be able to defend myself.” She said firmly.
“You’re right. I might not be there next time. I am teaching Harry after the holidays are over, well start then.” Remus said sighing.
“Thank you.” She said curtly and turned to walk out the door.
“I wanted to tell you, you know.” He called before she got the chance to leave the room. “Any time a woman found out about what I was, it- it changed things. I didn’t want things to change between us” he said, looking down at his desk.
Mia turned back and walked over to him and cupped his face in her hands and kissed him firmly. She pulled away and looked into his eyes.
“I’ve read about the effectiveness of Wolfsbane” she began. “If you take your potion, I have nothing to worry about.”
He nodded, but he had a small bit of self -doubt that maybe one day she would realize the severity. If forgets to take his potion on time and she is with him, he would end up tearing her to shreds. He was dangerous, and he was afraid for her, but felt a small bit of relief hearing how calm she was about it. When he watched her leave his office, he recognized traits in her that her mother exhumed. She was fierce, stubborn, and typically got her way. He sighed and grabbed his essays to finish grading. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Holiday break came around, and Mia was going home to spend the holiday with her mother. She and Penelope were packing up their bags to go home; leaving most of their school things behind since they would be returning for term after the New Year. They had a few homework assignments to complete while away from school, but the load was pretty light. They spent most of their time packing talking about the things they were going to do on break after their work was done, as well as the news that Hagrid’s hippogriff, Buckbeak, was to have a hearing pending an investigation where it attacked a student. Everyone knew though that the student who was ‘attacked’ Draco Malfoy was a whiny git who liked to use the threat of his father into getting what he wanted. Lucius Malfoy was a rather important employee of the ministry of magic, and their family had a long time feud with the Weasleys, so naturally Penelope hated them also.
“Such a git, that Malfoy kid” Penelope sneered. “That poor creature was probably just scared.”
Mia had zoned off, barely listening to Penelope go on about the hippogriff. Her mind wandered to Remus and she wanted to see him one last time.
“Hey, I forgot I have to ask a question about our holiday essay for Professor Lupin” Mia said to Penelope suddenly. “I’m going to run down to his office real quick- don’t leave without me?”
“Nope I’m going to leave you and make sure the train leaves so you’re stuck here” Penelope said sarcastically. “I’ll see you down by the entrance” she winked.
Mia rolled her eyes at her and smiled.
“Thanks Penny” she said chuckling, throwing her bag over her shoulder and headed out of the dorm.
She hated having to lie to Penelope, but what choice did she have? She was walking quickly to get to Remus’s office as quickly as she could, her thighs burning as she ran up flights of stairs. She had meant to stop by his office hours the day before, but Andrew insisted on her coming out to the courtyard to judge a Gobstones tournament that he started for the last day of term. He spent most of the tournament trying to sit next to her, testing if shed let him put his arm around her or not. Mia thought her eyes would roll out of her head if she spent any more time watching teenage boys get competitive about a silly yard game. Some of Andrew’s friends from Slytherin house, Trevor Greentree and Michael Bobbitt, got into a fist fight near the end, competition getting the best of them.
She popped her head into Remus’s office and knocked on the heavy oak door. Harry was just getting up from the plush green couch and shaking his hand goodbye.
“Hi, uhm, I have a question about our holiday assignment?” Mia said, caught a little off guard that Remus wasn’t alone in his office.
“Yes Mia, Harry was just heading out. Harry I’ll see you at the beginning of the term, enjoy the holidays” Remus smiled a warm smile at Harry.
Mia and Harry exchanged hellos, and she watched him walk down the stairs and out of the classroom door.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d have company” she said, entering his office.
“Oh no matter, Harry and I had just finished” Remus said. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug.
“Are you all packed for the trip home?” he asked, still hugging her. She pulled back and kissed him.
“I am, Penelope is waiting for me but I wanted to see you one last time” she brushed his bangs off his forehead and looked into his eyes.
He chuckled “it’ll only be 2 weeks.”
“That’s a long time!!” she playfully slapped his arm. “Won’t you miss me?”
“Yes, I will.” He said quietly, his eyes flickered at her. He cupped her cheek and gave her a small smile, gazing into her eyes for a moment. He broke the stare when he walked over to his desk and settled in the chair.
“What was your question with the essay?” he asked.
Mia was confused for a second, but then remembered she used it as an excuse to make her visit seem natural to Harry. “You’re so thick” she snorted, walking over to his desk.
“I figured you didn’t actually have a question” He smirked “you better get going; you don’t want to meet Penelope.”
“She can wait 5 more minutes, right?” she winked at him, unbuttoning her pants.
He gave her a grin and waved his wand, the door shut and locked and sealed with a silencing charm. She slid her pants and underwear off as he hastily unbuttoned his pants. She straddled him, pushing him into her. It was quick; both of them missing each other’s touch for the last month or so made it go much quicker. When they both finished, Mia kissed him firmly and hopped up quickly to get dressed. After fixing his pants, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her one last time.
“This will be a long two weeks” he chuckled and let her go from the embrace.
Mia walked backwards playfully to the door, smiling at him. “Have a good Christmas, Remus”
