Healing <R.Lupin>

A Date

Rosaline knew how she was beginning to develop feelings for Remus. She knew how he was her fathers best friend.

She knew that it wasn't right. She needed to somehow put some distance between them. She couldn't risk it. Not with her being the daughter of Sirius Black.

Things weren't easy at all. She knew that she was struggling with everything. She wanted her dad. More than anything. Being at Hogwarts wasn't easy for her.

She didn't think it would be so hard being there. She felt as though it was all too much.

Rosaline loved Hogwarts. It was her home away from home. But she felt as though it was hard. She couldn't see Remus and not fall further in love with him.

It was complicated. She didn't want to ruin the friendship Remus had with her father. She couldn't ruin it.

Rosaline knew how Severus had been making comments. She knew that it was partly why she was scared of trying with Remus.

All she knew was that things were changing for her. And she didn't know what more she could do. She just wanted things to be simple.

Rosaline rolled over and groaned. She was having a fantastic dream. And didn't really want to wake up.

She reluctantly climbed out of bed and went for a shower. She took her time under the hot water. Feeling as though she needed it.

Once she was dressed, she sat and wrote a letter to her dad. She always wrote to him. He wrote back too.

'Dad,
I miss you so much. It's weird, I thought being here would make things seem okay. But I just feel alone now more than ever.
I can't wait until I can see you again.
All my love,
Your little Rosie x'

She sent the letter off with her owl. She took a deep breath before she left her chambers. Needing to somehow make it through another day.

Rosaline walked along the corridors and sighed. She couldn't help but think about the what if.

What if she did give in and give Remus a chance?

Rosaline smiled as she saw Mia. She looked to her. "What's up with you?" Mia asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

Rosaline shook her head and sighed. She looked to her. "Just thinking. Things are hard for me at the moment. And I just don't know what to do," she said.

"Oh?"

Rosaline shrugged and sighed. She looked to her. "I can't help but think what if I give it a chance with Remus? I just... I don't know. I feel like part of me wants to. But then Severus has gotten into my head," she told her.

Mia smiled. "Let me deal with Severus. He's a jerk and I can handle him," she said.

Rosaline sighed. She looked to her. "I'm just so unsure on everything right now. Having him could
mean my dad and him fall out,"

"I'm sure they won't. It's all going to be okay," Mia said.

Rosaline smiled as she saw Remus. She looked to him. "Hi. So I've been thinking. Maybe we could go for a date? Just to see how things go?" She said.

Remus nodded. He smiled. "Sounds good. I can book us a table? Diagon Alley?" He asked.

"Yeah. Fab."

Rosaline turned and walked off. But was this the beginning of something new?
