A Timeless Beauty

Chapter 18

His amazing green eyes, that soft hair that I could just run my hands through, that kind man who has brought out so much emotion from me.

Those delectable lips.

It was all I could think of. I can't get that kiss from that man out of my head. I felt as if I could never forget that kiss. I had left soon after, only to feel pain. Actual physical and emotional pain from walking away. I craved everything that was him.

I sound like a love struck teenager, but it something more. I feel as if my soul has been calling out towards him. But that can't happen, maybe it's only because he was my first real love.

It can't be something more.

I had made sure to get to the Weasley's early so I could control my emotions, but I don't think anything could. I was too shaken up to even shower last night. I was only able to throw on a plaid button up shirt and some leggings with and pair of brown boots.

For the most part no one questioned me. Percy had asked me if I was alright and I made something up that would be believable. But when Ember came I knew I was screwed.

She had taken one look at me and her eyes widened in shock. "Amelia can I talk with you, privately?" I only nodded and lead her upstairs. Once we had stopped I didn't look at her, knowing she has some idea that I'm not alright.

"Amelia" she starts "why do you have JSL?" I looked at her confused "in English, please." She rolled her eyes and looked at me desperately "just snogged lips!"

Now how in the hell would I have just snogged lips if it happened seven hours ago? "I don't know what you talking about." She scorns me, knowing I was lying. "I know what those look like, I've had that many times. Now, are you going to tell me or do I need to find out on my own?"

I sigh knowing she would find out even if I didn't tell her. She could find out anything if she wanted to. "I may have kissed someone seven hours ago..."

She laughed "honey if your lips still look like that, you did a little more than kiss him." I felt my face heating up. "Well, are you going to tell me who you snogged seven hours ago?" I didn't want to tell her, I know she would keep who it was a secret. But I didn't want to risk it. He could loose his job and our reputations would be ruined.

She looked at me expectantly "... Remus"

Silence

I didn't want to look up, but at this moment I was afraid she had ran or passed out. Her  look showed the complete opposite. She had the biggest smile I have ever seen. "I bloody knew! I told you it would happen! I had thought you would hold out longer but I was still right! Was he a good shag?"

"Ember!"

"I know I'm sorry, but come on Amelia I got to know!" I roll my eyes at the over excited redhead in front of me. "We did not have sex!" I hissed quietly "it was just a kiss."

She was quiet for a moment, but that smile was still there "how was it." I let out a laugh that sounded forced "it was amazing, nothing I ever thought could exist." The pull I had felt tugged at my heart "but there's this feeling. I don't know what it is, but I feel as if something is trying to pull me towards him. And if I resist it hurts."

Her smile turns sympathetic as she brings me into a hug. "Oh sweetie, you got it bad."

"What's happening?" She releases me and smiles "that is what I think love feels like. Trust me it's normal, I feel it when I away from August. But with time you'll get used to it." I nod and shake my head "let's go before people start to worry."

She nods and we make our way towards the steps, but before we walk down she stops "it won't be long before you two start to shag each other like wild animals."

"Ember!"

We laugh as we make our way back downstairs and to the kitchen. Everyone had sat down and we're waiting on us. I had taken my usual seat next to Percy while Ember sat informer of me.

I had manage to not think about the kiss when I had talked to Ember but it just came back in full force. What if  he was in pain? Of course he's in pain, Amelia. The full moon is coming.

But what if he feels the way we do? What if he doesn't?

"Amelia dear, what's wrong? You haven't touched your breakfast." Molly asked worriedly. I was about to speak but Ember does first "can't you tell Molly? She's in love and misses her lover."

I glare at Amelia threateningly but it was too late. "I thought you said you didn't like anyone? Oh that doesn't matter, when it's love you can't deny it. So who is the young lad?"

Oh now you've done, Ember.

I just shrug "um well" I start to notice everyone's attention is to me "it's someone from back home." Ember smirks at my lie, but no one notices over Molly "I told you boys to snatch her up, now someone else has."

It was then I noticed Percy had been silent throughout the whole exchange. "Oh Molly I don't think they would've have a chance. You should see the way they look at each other."

"Ember-" I try to stop her but she cuts me off again "they look at each other as if they are the last people on earth. Oh calm down Amelia, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"You know that's not it" I try to put on a shy look "we had only just started talking about, we don't know if it's going to happen." Ginny looks at awe with the sound of my love life and Molly reaches over and grabs my hand. "Don't worry darling, by the way Ember talks about it you two will be together in no time."

I had never been more thankful for Fred and George until they took the conversation away from me. Throughout the rest of my time there I kept looking at Percy but he remained unusually silent. When it was time to leave I touched his shoulder. "Are you ok?"

He nods "yeah, I'm fine." Could he be sad because I didn't tell him? "Look Percy if your sad because I didn't tell you I swear I was going to tell you, but at the right time. I wasn't going to tell anyone but Ember forced it out of me."

Percy gives me a small smile but it didn't reach his eyes "it's not that, it's just... I'm really happy for you." I nod and bring no him into a tight brotherly hug. But something was different about this hug.

************

I wasn't going to have Ember find out, but she always wanted them together so why not? I decided to take a quiz on which professor I should hook up with a got Lupin! Lol, Next chapter will mostly be Remus and Amelia!
