A Timeless Beauty

Chapter 14

"Hold still Amelia!" Ember says frustrated. I give her a glare "how can I stay still when your ripping my hair out?"

She scoffs "Don't be dramatic, I'm trying to pull your hair up and you won't stop moving!"

We had been going on like this for fifteen minutes now. With Ember having more experience with hair, decided she would would be doing mine. And it has been pure hell.

She had insisted on curling my hair, something different from my usual straight or up do. Ember has been pulling and yanking at my hair since I had got back from classes.

And she has only finished two sections.

"Amelia tonight is the dance, you need to look good for Lupin." I roll my eyes "I'd thought you would want me to look good for my date, not for my professor. Why are you trying to set me up with him anyways?"

I feel another yank at my hair "I have been in a successful relationship for three years now, I know when two people are meant to be. Fate has been pulling you two together from the very start. And the look in your eyes when you two see each other without even knowing it, only soulmates give each other that look."

I give her a look "when did you become so poetic?" She sighs "I can't be a selfish bitch all the time now can I?" I chuckle, but still can't get my mind off of what she said.

What look? I may be new at relationships but I think I would know if I liked someone.

Why would he even want someone like me? Surely he would want someone with experience in relationships and other things.

I'm just a child, an orphan. Who would want that in their life?

"Ember are you finished yet, Angela is already here!" I yell at Ember from the other side of the bathroom door. We had decided to walk down with Angela because she was the only female fifth year Ember and I had managed to tolerate.

And she is Fred's date, so we decided to take her under our wing. "Ok I'm done" she says walking out of the bathroom. Her hair was pulled into a bun with two pieces sticking out which complemented the dress perfectly with her green heels.

I smirked at her "August won't be able to keep his hands off of you, same with you Angela." Angela was wearing a black dress that came to the knee, it was simple but manage to show off her curves well.

She smiled "thanks, Percy a lucky guy as well." Ember butted in "I don't think Lupin will be able to control himself much longer."

I laughed at Angela's shocked face "you two-"

"No, Ember has this notion in her head that Lupin and I like each other. Which we don't." I say the last part to Ember who only shrugs. "You two would be an amazing couple though."

"I have to agree with her, Amy." Ember smirks at me "see? Soon you two will be shagging each other senselessly." Angela giggles as I give my red headed friend a glare.

"Come on the boys are waiting for us. And Ember if you try anything tonight I hex you into oblivion."

She smirks before nodding. I believed her and continued walking. But unknown to me , the sneaky red head had her fingers crossed behind her back.

Remus Lupin

All the teachers were required to go to the dance to make sure the students didn't do anything unacceptable. But I knew from personal experience the students would find a way to get their hands on some firewiskey. We were going to be keeping an eye on the Weasley twins.
