Pureblood Problems 🌙 Remus Lupin Love Story

Chapter Twelve ~ Confusing Feelings

"We can't do this," He spoke suddenly and my chest twisted with pain as I furrowed my eyebrows, climbing off him and standing back up as he tried to shuffle back from under me.

"I don't understand, what happened?" I questioned but he couldn't even look me in the eye as he spoke next.

"Nothing, we just can't, ok? This never happened." oh. I started playing with the sleeves of my robes. It shouldn't hurt this much, but it does.

"I don't understand," I spoke softly and he sighed.

"And you never will, it's better off like this, just forget about it," he snapped at me, his frustration obvious.

"But-,"

"What part of forget it don't you understand?!" He questioned angrily.

"Well, I'll leave you alone now," I sniffed slightly making his head whip around, his eyes widening as he saw how much it affected me.

His expression was one of pure guilt and pain.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but I didn't give him the chance, spinning on my heel and immediately heading for the exit, allowing my tears to fall as I faced away from him, ignoring his calls of my name.

I made it to the door only to bump into the other three of the four-man group, their laughter instantly seizing as they froze in shock. I tried to walk around them but James and Sirius blocked my path, concern written all over their faces.

"Thea? What happened? Why are you crying?" Sirius questioned but I couldn't give him an answer, simply wiping the tears away as my eyes darted around the seemingly empty hall for any means of escape.

My means of escape soon rounded the corner, Lucius, I was in too bad a state to care about what he had done or said, I just needed away.

Lucius' head snapped towards me after seeing my bloodshot eyes at first glance and his protective mode activated instantly at the sight of me close to tears and boxed in by the boys.

Just as he sauntered towards me to answer the plead in my eye, the Hospital wing door opened and Remus emerged, calling my name and reaching out towards me.

"Don't touch me, please," That was all Lucius needed to push past the cowardly Pettigrew and pull me into his arms, immediately moving me away from the four men.

"Malfoy, let go of her now," Remus spoke, the three glaring at him fiercely.

"You had your chance, Lupin, I don't think you've got much of a say in what happens to her," He retaliated and I scoffed, moving out of his grip to stand beside him.

"You're one to talk Lucius, I have not forgiven you," I stated and he rolled his eyes and huffed.

The men continued to bicker back and forth between each other but I couldn't seem to concentrate.

Not again. My sight went shaky and I couldn't calm it this time as it progressively got worse.

"I don't feel very well," I spoke softly, alerting the other men to my state as I held onto the arm Lucius' robe for support.

"What?" He snapped before stopping himself as he caught sight of my face. All colour had left me and he seemed to notice I couldn't look in one direction.

"Allie, not this again, you look like you haven't slept in days, you need to take better care of yourself," he spoke angrily and I huffed.

"Thea, are you alright?" Remus tried once more but at the shake of my head he became concerned, ready to reach out for me.

"I don't need your help," I snapped, rapidly blinking my eyes, using my hands to hold my head up.

"Maybe not his, but you do need help," Sirius stated and James nodded. I reached out for Sirius, desperate to get out of both Lucius' and Remus' presences.

Sirius seemed shocked I had chosen him but he reached out and linked my arm with his to support me.

"Go back to your business, gentlemen, you lot gave me a head ache," I spoke sarcastically as I allowed Sirius to lead me towards the Slytherin Common Room.

"What happened?" Sirius asked once we were far enough away from them.

"Your friend snogged me then decided he didn't like me," I sighed and his eyes widened in shock.

"Moony, you bloody idiot," he cursed under his breath and I rolled my eyes.

"What about that back there? What happened?" He questioned softly probably scared another episode would occur.

"I've had trouble sleeping the last couple months, I have little to no energy and I guess it's finally taking a bigger toll on my body due to how long it's been going on for," I answered honestly and he nodded in understanding, a look of concern covering his face.

"I'll be alright, Sirius, don't worry," I squeezed his arm and he tried his best to give me a convincing smile.

"Worry about you? Me? Never," he scoffed and I rolled my eyes. We stayed silent the remainder of the walk, a troubled look plaguing his usually stupid looking face.

Hazel snatched me away from him as soon as we got to the common room door but not before I whispered my thanks and he nodded, the look of concern towards me shinning through once more before he disappeared back down the hallway.

I guess being so close growing up has brung out his protective older brother side.

I was swooped up to the dorm room where Hazel ran me a warm bubble bath and sat with me while I soaked in the tub, telling her all that had happened.

She was very happy when I told her Remus and I had kissed but that happiness quickly turned to shock, then disgust, then sadness, then finally anger.

She took to ranting about how immature and stupid Remus was for kissing me in the first place if he knew we couldn't be together and I was already washed and dried before she had even taken a breath as she cursed out every single man individually, even the ones that hadn't done anything wrong.

She was on a killing spree, who was I to stop her?

"I'm going to kill him," She stated and I giggled, my throat still hoarse and sore from crying.

"Please don't, I don't want the only person I trust to end up in Azkaban," She laughed and flopped down on her bed as I mirrored her actions on my own.

"Men," She grumbled and I snort in laughter, silently agreeing with her.

"Well, I can look on the bright side with the fact that Christmas Holidays are in two days and I won't have to see any of them for a whole two weeks," I mused and she huffed, mumbling something about returning to the hellhole that is home. Not that I disagree with her.

"Never thought I'd see the day where you'd be happy returning home, now sleep, you don't need to get any worse," She huffed and I replied with a simple 'me either'.

"Goodnight, Thea,"

"Goodnight, Hazel,"
