Chapter 26 - Dancing Queen

Hello babies! I hope you're all doing well. I'm sorry for the delay, I haven't been feeling like myself lately which affected the speed (or lack thereof) of my writing. I don't know how fast I'll be back on track so bare with me. I love you! x

Slipping through the heavy oak door of the library, you hurry to Remus, feeling like a thief on the run with that dubious book in your pocket.

You're unreasonably jumpy and let out a breath you didn't know you were holding when you close the office door behind you.

Remus watches you with a roguish glimmer in his eyes.

"Hello, you", he purrs.

"Remus", you pant, and rush over to his desk, pushing the papers he's grading out of the way.

Fortunately, he is everything but short-tempered, and doesn't bat an eye when you're ruining his work. You throw the booklet on the dark wood in front of him.

"I need your help."

"Again!", you gasp, pushing sweaty strands of hair out of your face, and raise your wand.

Remus whimpers and slouches down onto the couch.

"No", he groans. "I need a break."
"We haven't achieved anything", you interrupt his whining, your wand close to poking his forehead.

"Please, Remus." Your voice quietens into a desperate whisper. "I must learn this. I need to get behind his walls or I'm going mad."

Remus lets out a heavy sigh and pats the place beside him.

"You got this, babe. You are insanely talented." His hand finds your thigh when you slump down beside him and bury yourself under his arm, and he pats it reassuringly and laughs.

"But it's to no use when you bust your guinea pig's head."

You snort into his sweater.

"Yeah, alright. You have a point."

He pinches your thigh casually, eliciting a squeal from you, and you whack his hand away with a giggle and stretch your arms out, groaning at the tightness of your muscles.

"Besides, I bet you don't even have anything in that little brain of yours."

You poke his ribs playfully.

Remus growls and snatches your hands away from him, pulling you on top of him in the process.

"I produce more useful thoughts in a second than you do in a month, babydoll", he huffs into your ear. You grunt in surprise and try to push yourself off of him, but he holds you down with his iron grip, baring his teeth in a cheeky grin. Damned werewolf.

"I can practically hear that one, lonely thought in your otherwise empty brain bouncing around. Fuck me, Sevy. Please fuck me."

"Oh, shut up!", you cry out, laughing when he starts to tickle you mercilessly.

"Stop, Remus!" Your squeals ring through his office, and tears stream down your face when he finally lets you go. You stumble off the couch and onto the carpet, as far away from him than you can, and gasp for air.

"You motherfucker", you pant, and oh, if looks could kill, you'd be cuddling up on his couch with a rather large fur. Bastard.

He barks out a gleeful laughter.

"You're a right cry baby", he mocks you in good manner. "Don't know how Severus can handle your weak ass."

"Fuck off."
