The Teacher - Remus Lupin X Reader

Chapter Eight - The Ball

I awoke to soft kisses being placed on the back on my neck and shoulders. I hummed in delight and leaned back enjoying the feeling tingling across my bare skin. I was pulled from the feeling when I heard a voice

"You should probably start getting ready for the ball"

I kept my eyes closed for a moment trying to comprehend what he said before I shot up

"Fuck"

I said, checking my phone seeing 11 AM plastered on it, Jess was gonna kill me. I shot out of bed, haphazardly pulling on my clothes as Remus just sat in bed chuckling at me, I struggled with my bra for a moment before saying fuck it and just throwing my t-shirt back on. I rushed over to Remus and kissed him before running over and opening the door

"Love you, see you tonight"

I said and rushed out as fast as I could before he could even respond. I ran down the hall at full speed in my bare feet almost slipping multiple times. I got to Jess' dorm completely out of breath and pushed my way in. She was sitting on her phone her makeup already done in a beautiful dark blue. She sent me a glare and I nervously smiled

"Well don't you look pretty"

I said and she rolled her eyes

"Don't you dare bitch, you said nine o'clock sharp it is-"

She check her phone

"11:17 you better have a good excuse"

She looked at me with sharp eyes I felt like a mouse under the glare of a cat... but I only had one excuse

"I got railed really late last night"

I was waiting for the harsh sigh at my response but instead it was defeated

"Okay that's actually a pretty good excuse"

She said and her glare dropped, her features returning to their natural softness. I raised my brows at her nonchalant response

"Wait really?"

I said and she turned away walking over to her dresser

"Your lucky I've missed more than a few things because of that reason"

Jess had returned to her joking self in a matter of seconds and started doing my makeup, she wanted us to match and be a perfect contrast between cold and warm colors. She did a mix of pale pinks and golds on my face, even letting me borrow a pair of stunning gold earrings that matched the dress beautifully. She finished my makeup and smiled at me

"I could seriously kiss you again"

She said before bringing me over to the mirror. It was perfect as expected

"You somehow make me hot, it's crazy"

I said and Jess looked offended

"How fucking dare you, are you saying my bestie isn't hot, because I will throw some damn hands"

She said dead seriously before we both broke and started laughing. She helped me pull my dress on, with how large it was, it was definitely a two person job. Once it was situated she stood behind me and spoke

"Okay breath out"

I raised a brow and paused for a moment but did so before feeling a sharp pull around my waist making me gasp. She giggled but laced up the corset part of my gown, I could feel it digging into my skin but damn was it worth it for the silhouette. I helped Jess with her gown and we finished by doing our hair. It took longer than expected. It was almost three by the time we were fully complete. We still had two hours till the ball started so we delicately sat on her bed, careful to not wrinkle the gowns.
