Obsession

{Rosaleene}

His fingertips touched my shoulders and he smiled with my reaction when his cold hand touched my hot skin.

"You are always so cold" I said out loud and he took a step back. I had to lift my chin up so I could see his face, because of his height.

"You are always so annoying" he chuckled and I gasped laughing.

"That's rude!" I said and he nodded, taking a few steps back.

The way his eyes were on me, his gold hair falling on his forehead, I was feeling something in me, weird but good at the same time.

"If you are always honest, then why can't I be?" he raised his eyebrow and I rolled my eyes, turning my back on him walking around the room.

I went near the staircase and took some steps. I could feel his eyes on me, as I stood on the top at the small "balcony". I opened my hands, resting them on the cold marble in front of me and my eyes met his.

"Come down, Rosaleene" he said serious and I raised my eyebrow.

"Why?" I asked and he looked away, biting his lips.

I had an influence on him, I could see it. Everytime when he bites his lips, his eyes are somewhere else, when I am around.

"I actually like this view" I said smiling and he sighed. He started walking towards me and within seconds he was standing next to my body. He was in the same position as me and I could feel our elbows touching.

"It feels like you are on top of the world" I admitted, we were both looking to the front to not something specific.

"Exactly, and it helps clear my mind, with my problems" he confessed and I turned, "Problems?".

"Yes", he sighed and twisted to look at me, "You are not the only one who has problems".

I immediately diverted my look and slightly moved further.

"I never said I was" I said offended by his words.

He didn't answer and I inhaled loud, passing next to him to walk away.

"Wait", his fingers wrapped around my arm and pulled me back.

I almost fell from his abrupt pull and my legs couldn't hold me. Thankfully his hold became stronger and held me by my arms up.

"Thanks" I mumbled and then I noticed that we were very close to each other, for once more.

I was dying for him to make a move, or something. Each time we were getting close, felt like a dream and I couldn't believe how I was able to hold my self back.

"Remus" I whispered, my eyes were flickering and he glanced on my lips.

He leaned closer and I knew this was coming, so I closed my eyes waiting for his lips. But instead, I felt a soft touch on my lips corner, mostly touching my cheek.

I opened my eyes and I was confused of what just happened.

"I-I have to go" I mumbled and started walking away fast.

"Goodnight" I said quickly before closing the door behind me.

As I was almost running, I heard footsteps behind me, but that didn't stop me.

"Why are you running?" I heard a familiar voice that wasn't his.

"Jhon? What are you doing here?" I asked surprised and he chuckled coming closer.

"No, what are you doing here? Are you sneaking around?" he raised his eyebrow.

"I was just going for a walk" I lied and he shook his head, "Yeah right. You are a terrible liar".

"I know", I sighed.

"Wait, why are you outside exactly?"

"Because I can" he said arrogantly and I rolled my eyes.

"Goodnight, Jhon" I said turning around and walked away.

"Hey, Rosaleene" I heard him breathless behind me.

"What?" I said confused.

He took a deep breath before opening his palm, "You dropped your pin".

I noticed my Head Girl pin in his hand and I glanced at his eyes.

"May I?" he asked lowly taking it between his fingers and I nodded.

He took the fabric of my sweatshirt pulling it towards him a little. I could see in his frowning face how serious he was, being careful not to pinch me with the small needle.

His hands were gently though, he was only looking where he should had.

"There you go" he said and smiled at me.

"Thank you" I said and he took a step back.

"See you around" I said and he nodded, before I went to my room for real.

It was Saturday and everyone had this crazy idea to go to Hogsmeade. Amy was begging me to have lunch with her and the others today, but I wasn't feeling like it.

"You guys should go, I will be fine. I have studying to do anyways" I excused myself and she finally let it go.

I was in the library, three hours passed quickly since I came here. It was lunch time now and I was really hungry since I didn't have breakfast.

Walking to the Great Hall I realized that most of the students were gone, only the younger classes stayed, since they are not allowed to go yet.

I sat on my usual seat alone and placed some food in my plate.

I felt a figure next to me, but I could feel who it was so I didn't turn around.

"Do you mind some company?" I heard his voice and I glanced at him.

"Being alone is okay sometimes" I said meaningful but he ignored my words and sat next to me.

"Do you want anything?" I snapped and he sighed, "Yes, actually".

I looked at him, he was wearing brown pants and a lighter sweatshirt. He pulled his hair back for today, but he was as handsome as he always is.

"I am listening" I said indifferently but I was dying to listen to his words.

It's been a few moments when he opened his mouth and decided to say, "Have you finished your homework early, so I could correct it?".

Hearing those words, I stood up abruptly almost throwing my chair down and packed my stuff.

How could he come after yesterday's night and said something irrelevant with the situation? What happened wasn't such a big deal, but he is a teacher here so I guess it actually is.

"Have a nice day, professor Lupin" I said mocking on his face and turned around furious leaving the Great Hall.
