Love Is Deaf - R.J Lupin

I - I can see myself liking this place

Are you sure you'll be fine? We can come with you! Send an owl if you want us to get you, alright? Her mother was signing all the way until Cecilia couldn't see her anymore from the train. She was on her way to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, for her last year in school.

All her life she had been homeschooled by her parents, and even though she loved them, she really wanted some real education for her last year with N.E.W.Ts coming up. The only problem is, she is deaf. She has been deaf since she was five years old and even though she can speak clearly, hearing is not possible for her. She did not know how she would be able to do with being in a school with only hearing people and not being able to hear anything. Would she miss out on classes and everything? What if she didn't get any friends?

Cecilia was really worried when she tried to find a compartment on the Hogwarts express because she did not know if people would be weirded out with her. She could read lips, just not all the time, and especially not now being nervous AND tired.

She picked a compartment which only had someone laying under a coat. She saw that on the suitcase it said "R.J Lupin". He was probably a teacher or something so she didn't pay much attention. Around ten minutes into sitting there, she had calmed down when some kids opened the door and started speaking to her. It looked as if they were asking if they could sit in here so she simply nodded. She was trying to keep up in their conversation but they were speaking quickly and she could barely see their lips until one of them looked at her and started speaking.

"Hi! What's your name?"

"I'm Cecilia, what about you?"

She was really bad at learning names but it looked as if her name was something like "Tyra" or something. She continued talking to her but she could not see what she was trying to say.

"I'm so sorry but I am deaf. I cannot hear anything you're saying."

"Oh! I'm..." She looked away and talked to her two other friends.

The girl whose name is probably not Tyra had Purple short hair, it looked really pretty and almost as if it were her normal hair color, and at one time it almost seemed as if it changed colors. She had a nice and small nose and cute lips. Cecilia isn't really into girls, but she liked to look at people and admire their appearance.

She had two friends who were sitting next to me. One was a guy who had black hair, down to his chin, and a nice and sharp jawline, whole the other was blond and kinda thin. It seemed like the three were speaking kinda loudly because the man called Lupin stirred in his sleep and woke up all of a sudden. She could not see what he was saying but he was most probably angry at them because they left to go somewhere else. He started speaking with her but she was reading a book.

He waved in front of her face and she looked up and froze. The man in front of her must be in his twenties, he was not the normal kind of handsome but had scars all over his face and neck. He had a small mustache and beautiful green eyes she could see herself drowning in. He was speaking to her but she was only thinking about those soft beautiful lips-

Hello? Are you Cecilia?

Yea... That's me. How did you know?

I am Lupin, Remus Lupin, and I will be your interpreter this year!

Fu**- this handsome man was going to be someone she would see every day for a year? Could her luck get any worse?

Oh! Well, it's nice to meet you. I've been homeschooled my whole life so I'm not very used to this, hopefully, you'll help me?

Of course! That's why I am here.

How do you even know sign language?

I had a close friend who passed a few years ago, and I learned it for him. Now I have a new skill to write on my CV.
