Howling Loud [Remus Lupin's Sister] (A Harry Potter Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Dear Charlie,
Things around are getting worse. Yesterday was Halloween, and after the feast, we found Mrs. Norris on the second floor, she seemed dead, but Professor Dumbledore said she was petrified, not that I'm complaining. Have you heard about the Chamber of Secrets? If you have, please tell me everything you know. The teachers are on edge this days. Well, everyone but Professor Lockhart, he is a real git. He thinks he is so handsome and fascinating, but I bet he is a fraud. Your mother loves him, though.
I know if Fred or George have already told you, but I am not talking to George. I love the guy, but he really knows how to piss me off.
I miss you, keep me updated about the dragons. I'll be there to work with you sooner than you think, Dumbledore and I have talked about the offer you made me.
Kay Xx

I finished the letter and sealed the envelope. I put the letter on my bag to send it the next day when the Owls give the mail. I went out of the Study Room and entered the Common Room to find a blonde boy talking about me. How did I know he was talking about me? Well, I have my ways.

"Talking 'bout me?" I asked as I towered over him.

"What? No!" He said nervously and I looked at him with my best 'are you seriously giving me this shit?' Face, "yeah, I was telling my friends about you being the only girl of fourth in Slytherin"

"And I was calling him a liar" a boy with dark skin and chocolate eyes said.

"Blaise, you shouldn't call someone a liar unless you know the truth" I told him and then looked at the blonde boy, Draco Malfoy, "for example, Draco, you are a liar, you were saying I was a mudblood. And you know what? Maybe I am. But you know what? I am also a Slytherin" I said and left to my dorm, leaving the two boys awkwardly standing there.

I pulled down the curtains of my bed and started undressing. That was the worst part about living with boys, I always had to cover myself when changing, they didn't give a damn about walking around in their boxers, but if they saw a clothe of mine around, they made a scandal.

"Hey kid" I heard Felix say as he entered the room.

"Hi Felix" I said without much excitement. I laid down on my bed and pulled the cover over my body.

"Are you asleep?" Felix asked after a few minutes. I didn't answer, I just kept facing the wall, not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment, "Fred finally told me why have you been angry at George. And, I don't know why did it affect you so much. I mean, you are my best friend and you left me last year. I just kinda wanted a replacement and Angelina was there. At first, it was okay, but then I noticed why you didn't like her. And I also noticed, no one could replace you. You are my best friend and I love you. I hope you are not awake, because it would be so embarrassing, I mean, I just confessed my love for you. It would be awkward if you didn't feel the same"

I heard him go to sleep and I was yelling internally. He loved me. Merlin's mother's nickers! He loved me. Should I tell him I heard it all? No! Why not? I really want to talk to him, but what if it was all a sick joke?

I woke up to all my roommates' voices. I groaned and stood from my comfy bed. I swear, it sometimes pleads me to stay and sleep all day.

I turned to look at Felix but he was not there, nor were his things, so I assumed he had already left. I sighed as I put my uniform.

"Lupin! Close your curtains!" I heard Chris say.

"This is my room too! You don't hear me bitching when you walk around on your underwear" I said as I buttoned my shirt quickly.

I took my wand from my nightstand and bag from the floor. I just hoped Professor Binns leaves me alone today. Ever since I insulted him, he had been picking on me, and it's not like I can punch him.

I ran out of my room and ignored my housemates. I was not in the mood for people in general. So I went to breakfast.

I looked for Felix in the Hall, but I couldn't find him. I sighed and sat down. I could feel eyes on me. I looked up to see a girl. She had caramel hair, very similar to Catelyn's and honey eyes.

"Can I help you?" I asked her.

"Why are your eyes that colour?" She asked me. I smiled at her and looked her in the eye.

Grace Hollamby. Eleven years old. Only child, adopted. I saw her then grown up. About sixteen years old. She was dirty and seemed hurt. But her face showed strength. She was fighting someone, and she knew him, I could tell from her face. Then she was afraid. And a green light hit her square in the chest. Her pretty face frozen in terror, her eyes without light.

I got out of my vision. No. This little girl will not end like that. I will do anything to prevent that end. I refuse to see that look of terror in her face again.

"I don't know" I tell her, "believe me, I have asked that to myself many times" I laughed and she giggled.

"My name is Grace" she told me.

"I'm Lŷkaina. If you ever need anything, you let me know ok? Anything you want, I mean, anything"

"Yeah, sure. Well, I'm going back to my table, bye Kay" she said, waving at me. I smiled at the nickname that only Charlie used to call me.

I ate two quesadillas quietly and some chocolate milk. Yeah, I still drink chocolate milk, any problem?

I stood up and it seemed that my feet had its own mind. I wanted to go to my dorm or to  Snape's. But they were taking me right into class. DADA. I rolled my eyes. Just what I didn't want to do today.

When I entered the classroom, I saw Felix in the front row. Against all that I wanted to, my feet carried me next to him. I sat and not long later, Lockhart appeared from his office.

"Where were you?" I asked my friend.

"Didn't you think that maybe I was avoiding you?" Felix said venomously.

"Pardon?" I asked.

Then I did something I promised I would never do. I touched his hand and entered his mind. And I showed him everything I saw. First it was us meeting. Then when I saw him again this year and I showed him the events from last night. I showed him the vision I had in first year. I didn't want to show him much, because I didn't want to see something bad.

I know I had promised myself I would never enter his mind without his permission. But I had to let him know everything I saw and everything I felt. And what I saw.

"I wonder Ms. Lupin-" Lockhart started.

"No, I don't know how you defeated the Yeti nor do I care. And also no, I didn't read your bloody books." I spat at him.

"Ms. Lupin, do you want to give the class? Because you seem you are not comfortable with my way of teaching"

"Well, I would certainly give class better than you, you-" Felix stopped me from insulting another professor.

Lockhart was red in face. Felix stood up and got me out of there before something else happened. He was touching my hand, something we both agreed on not doing. But we both broke that oath today.

He dragged me away. I didn't care where he was taking me, just that it was me and him. You'd say that at fourteen you don't know love. But in this case, I can see it. I see Felix's aura and mine in glimpses. And they look like the ones around Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. But I won't tell it of course. I will protect him.
