Aphrodite ✓ Remus Lupin

[4.] • Dancing is Like Speaking •

ROSABELLE has two left feet and she'll swear it on her life. She couldn't dance for anything, she could barely walk without tripping. She and Remus stood there talking happily of Greek, Remus taking interest of her home. "Its beautiful, the ruins - the school is really like Mt. Olympus and oh the legend, I love it! Every kid at Olympus grows up with the legend."

"What's the?"

"The Fell of Power, all the gods fell from Mt Olympus so each house looks for their right goddess - supposedly one student from each house is to be the god/goddess and sent peace and balance into the world. All my friends, they're the gods/goddesses of their houses but no one can find Aphrodite - I'm in her house and everyone is my house is cocky and full of it. I dont think anyone is her."

"Not even you?"

Rosabelle looked at Remus with wide eyed look.  "Me? The goddess of love? Thats not possible."

"Why is that?" Asks Remus, frowning. His wolf howled encouraging him to talk to her and he was over the moon hearing her voice talking to him and only to him.

"Cause I'm me and Aphrodite is a beautiful, no stunning goddess of love, I'm no where near that."

Remus's wolf growled hearing her talk so badly of herself. Remus frowned hearing her talk of herself so poorly as well. "Well I think you're wrong," Remus says smiling.

Rosabelle blushes, was he flirting or trying to be nice? Wait doesn't he have a girlfriend? Probably does. Rosabelle thought sadly to herself but she keep her smiling going. "Thats kind of you but I rather think I'm quite simple."

"I beg to prefer."

Thats when the music started, the elegant soft melody played and people started swaying and dancing into the beat of the song. Rosabelle loved this dance, it was her favorite but she always messed up. Tripping or falling flat on her face. She would be so embrassed by the name of Zeus. Thats when she noticed Remus's hand in front of her.

"May I have this dance?"

"I can't dance," she said reminding him.

"No, but if you speak while moving you're feet - your mind will stay focus on what you're saying than what you're doing," he smiles, gentle. She sat there thinking for a sec and then placed her hand in his. He lead to the center and placed his hands on her waist and her hand in his other.

The touch of her hand in his sent shivers down Remus's spine. And by the touch of his hand on her waist, it did the same to Rosabelle. In the background Remus could hear his friends whistling and cheering him on. He red from the embrassment, Rosabelle saw and giggled. They starred swaying with the music and Remus started talking.

"What's your friends like?"

"Well Ana is real smart, so she's book smart - no one is smarter than her. There's a reason she's in the house of σοφία. Probably smartest person I know."

With Rosabelle distracted by her talking and ranting of her friends, she didn't even noticed her amazing dance steps. Remus chuckled interrupting her train thoughts, she looked at him. "Oh no it's not you, love - just," he chuckled again.

"It's what?" She asks.

"Youre dancing," he smiles, she looked around. She was! She was dancing. For a second, Rosabelle lost her balance and began to fall when Remus caught her and held her by her waist. The two looking into each other's eyes, Rosabelle would swear she almost forgot how to breathe.

"Thanks for catching me."

"I'll never let you fall."

He never did for the rest of the night. He caught her every time, lifted her every moment he could and spinner into his chest one too many times to count especially when they both blushed in embarrassment. Rosabelle couldn't have imagined a better way of spending the night than with Remus.

Rosabelle needed something to drink so she sat down and waited for Remus to return with their drinks. Soon loud laughter booms startling her. It was only Sirius and James - of course as they sat at her table. "You and Moony huh?" Asks Sirius with a smirk.

"What?" She asks turning her full attention onto the boy.

"You and Moony, you know love birds," James answers for Sirius, the two boys shared a smirk. Rosabelle was flattered for them to think such a thing but Remus was only being nice.

"Remus doesn't like me like that, he's just being kind," she reassures them. They roll their eyes - even that they don't believe one bit. From the moment, Remus saw the girl - he was over the moons for her.

"Yea and James isn't in love with Evans," snickered Sirius as James glared playfully and shoved him. Sirius shoved him back. So now the boys were just shoving each other.

"Belle," she looked up and saw Remus gladly walking over with their giggly water. She smiled as he sat next to her in time to see the "fight" between Sirius and James become more childish. "Padfoot, Progs," he calls to them annoyed.

What interesting names she thought. The boys looked at Remus with big eyes like they had been caught by the police. "Sorry mom," they say as they sit up and glare at each other playfully again.

"Are they always like this?" Whispers Rosabelle. She takes a sip of her giggly water and giggles.

He smiles," I'm afraid so." He too takes a sip and giggles making Rosabelle giggle again but she had the hiccups and every time she hiccuped - she giggled. Remus laughed then karma stroked him. He too got the hiccups. James and Sirius looked to the laughing giggling pair with strange looks.

"What a strange couple."

"Indeed, Padfoot."
