A Beastly Love ~Remus Lupin.

Chapter 5~ Hogwarts

I told Diagon alley loud and clear but somehow ended up in Knockturn alley. Now that's not a good thing.

Who knows which Black member or death eater I might run in to. Best to get out before anything like that happens. 

I was so busy looking for an exit that I didn't realise I walked into someone.

"Look where you walk, bitch!" That sounds familiar.

"Aha. If it isnt the blood traitor. Dont tell me, you forgot me sis."
What I dreaded the most happened.  I fucking ran into Bellatrix Black. 

"How could I forget you? My favourite cousin." I can't keep my mouth shut. It might be the reason I will be killed.

Bellatrix is a dead eater. She will be getting married to Rodolphus Lestrange in a few months. She was my favourite cousin before I started hogwarts and got into Gryffindor along with Sirius. She is 8 years older to me. Though once she left Hogwarts, she became a death eater, she was always kind to me. Sirius prefers her sister Andromeda, oh she is a sweetheart. She married a muggle, Ted Tonks. She was burnt out of the Black tapestry. Well so are Sirius and me. After we ran away from home, we were disowned.  Oh their sis- I could continue about her sister but a shrill voice stopped me.

"Oh. Shut your bloody mouth." Oops. She seems pissed.

"That's always been a problem isnt it? I cant do that. You know don't you?" After getting into Gryffindor,  we had alot of fights. Mostly because I didn't shut up.

"How dare you talk to me like that?!" I slowly trying running for the exit but she noticed it. And used the Crucio curse on me. The pain was unbearable. It was like a thousand knives being inserted in my body. Removing it and than putting them in I couldn't stop the scream that left my mouth. It happened a gazillion times.  I try running but my feet wont work.  The audience didn't help me either. Just then Reggie came from nowhere and helped me back to the Diagon Alley.

He knew it would be dangerous to come with me, so left me near F&B. But there will consequences for him helping me. I walk some steps when I saw Remus standing with Mia. I sprint [or run] to him. He sees me and runs towards me. I hug him tightly as if my life depended on it. There was the safety feeling in his arms. Like he could protect me from anything.
It wasnt the first time Crucio was used on me. My excuse of parents used it on Sirius and me for punishment. They used on Reggie a few times as me and Sirius would take his punishment too. He used to stand up with us against the pure blood supremacy. But it was alot of time back when they used it, almost like 1 year. So my body felt the pain as if for first time.

"Oh god. Are you alright Cass?" The deep voice of Remus asked.
"Ye-e-ah.. I-I-I aaaam fi-i-n-e." I stutter, which was unusual. My whole body was in pain.
"Oh my god. That was your scream." Remus breathed. I felt lips on my head.
"Oh god, Cass?  What happened?" Asked Mia.
"Nothing mum. Just had a ru-un in with my dear cousin." The pain had subdued somewhat.
"Uh Cass? Can you please repeat what you were saying. I stopped listening after the word mum."

"Oh sorry. Did I really call you that?" I ask in a hurry.
"Why are you apologising? You are calling me mum from now on." I felt tears coming to my eyes. I left the safety of Remus and hug Mia.

"What did she do to you?" Mi-mum whispered. 
"Nothing new." I reply with the same softness.
"What do you mean nothing new Cass? What did she do?" Remus sounds worried.

"Mi- mum, can me and Remus go home? If he is done with his shopping. You can complete your shopping and come home with the others. I will tell you all together."

"Great idea. Remus go on. Take care, don't do anything stupid."
Remus and me go to the leaky cauldron and floo back home.

Once we are settled. I recount what happened, to him. 
His facial expression changed alot. From Shock to surprise to anger to worry.
"Are you alright? Stupid question.  Any physical injury?" Remus asked.
I am moved by his worry and concern. This is one of the reasons I developed a crush on him.
He is sweet, caring. He can be an idiot but a genius too.
"No. No physical injuries." Cute.
We are sitting on one of the couches in the living room. My head on his chest. It is so warm that I fall asleep without intending to.

*Time skip*

There was a mess. A human pile in one of the compartments of Hogwarts Express. In middle of the pile was me. It was quite uncomfortable,  if you ask me. Let me first tell you how we ended up in this way.

The days after the Diagon alley events, the boys were more protective of me. They didn't allow me to go anywhere alone.

That day after I fell asleep on Remus. He explained what had happened. I am thankful to him. I really didn't want to recount it again. At times it just gets annoying,  having them follow me everywhere. 

Somehow we managed to cross the barrier. Hugged mum and dad goodbyes.  Put our luggage in the luggage area. And walked to our compartment.  We put up magic spells on it, so only the Marauders can enter. Lot of people tried entering but they just ended with weird hair colors. It was Peter's idea, Remus did the spell work- for MARAUDERS entering- and I did the spell work for weird hair colors.

As they said "Only protecting you."as the reason for them to surround me. Peter opened the the compartment door, all of us tried getting in but we tripped and all of us landed in a pile. We just stayed like that for few minutes then we heard a voice.

"Uh guys? You seen Cass?" Comes the voice of Zoe Adele White.
"Hey Zoe." Says Sirius from his place underneath me. He and Zoe had a weird ass friendship.  They fight like enemies yet they can flirt like couples. I am not the only one that thinks they will be cute together. Remus, Lily and I have a bet going on, about when they will get together.  Remus thinks after 7th year. Lily 7th start and I think they will get together this year end.

"Hey zo!" I say while trying to get James off my back. After a million minutes,  I am free. "Guys I will be with my friends.  So bye."
I get bye chorus from boys and an extra "Be careful" from Remus.
He also winked. And I felt blush creeping up my cheeks.

Unfortunately,  that didnt go unnoticed by Zoe who smirked like Sirius. Zoe tells she hates him yet here she is smirking like him.  Zoe is the only muggle-born Slytherin. So alot of Slytherins call her the M-slur. In my first year I sat with Zoe for half of the ride, then Sirius came to take me to meet his friends. I asked Zoe to come but she didnt want to. Just as I was exiting I crashed into Lily. We share a dorm, we would talk into the night. It was good having another friend other than your siblings.

Whenever I have problems with the MARAUDERS these are the guys who I rant to. Oh also Katherine. She is one year younger to us and in Hufflepuff. She was a cute, scared first grader. On her first day she got separated from her friends and got lost. So Lily and me helped her. We got closer and became great friends. Later Zoe and Kat became so close that they are inseparable.

"Guys look who I brought." Said Zoe a rather too enthusiastically.
Yayyyy was the chorus.

We spent hours just catching up and playing. An hour into the ride Lily had to go to the prefects meeting.
Finally we arrived at the Hogsmede station. 
"First ye-r, here."bellowed Hagrid.  We took the carriages that were moving with magic. I was sitting with Zoe and Lily. Kat went to her friends. When we arrived, I couldn't stop the sound of awe that left my mouth. This isn't the first time I am seeing it. But still it always looks majestic.  My first home, HOGWARTS.
