Mesmerised By Her

No secrets

The next morning, me and Rosie had a boatload of sixth years come to us for extra studies. I was forever grateful to Dumbledore allowing me to stay here and help others.

I was still embarrassed around Rosie after our night of passion but she showed no change in her attitude towards me. Every time I looked at her I was still taken away by her profound beauty. Her charisma and care with the children was untouchable. She'd make a great mother.

"Alright guys, off you go to your next lesson! We will still be here by 4,if any of you want to pop by!" Rosie shouted, as the students packed away and trailed out the classroom.

"Your very good with them, you know, have you had much experience with children?" I asked curiously.

Rosie glanced at me and sunk into her chair, playing with her hands," Being an older sister in a toxic environment teaches you a few things" she sighed.

" I'm sorry for asking, it's rather rude of me, do forgive me" I said blushing and cussing to myself.

Rosie stood up and walked to me and put her hand on my face "No need to be a gentleman all the time Remus, seeing as your friends with my brother,I'm sure you have a mischievous side" She whispered,smirking at me.

" I'm afraid that died along with Lily and James" I muttered,swelling up at the thought of them again. James was a bubbly, kind hearted friend always looking for trouble. On the other hand Lily was caring,mature and was there for me at a time when I thought I had no one. Thinking of the past of all the good times hurts. The night when Lily and James died and Sirius got locked away for something I thought was inhumanly possible. Baiting out his friends was something Sirius wouldn't do. That night I lost everyone, I was left on my own, no one to talk to or hang around with, I was on my own once more.

Rosie looked deep into my eyes seeking my pain and sorrow and brought me into a warm hug. I sobbed into her chest and wrapped my arms around her waist. Normally I'd never show my tears to anyone but Rosie made me feel comfortable. She was my little ball of light.

"It's okay Remus, I'm here and I'm not going to leave you, I promise" She softly whispered into my ear.

With my emotions heightened I had to get it off my chest, this was the best time. Things were already gloomy so if she rejected me,she wouldn't tell the difference between my tears.

"Rosie, I- I need to tell you something," I looked into her eyes and saw her questioning me with her face," I-Im in love with you Rosie Black, I completely understand if the feelings aren't mutual, I mean I wouldn't expect a fine woman like yourself to fancy someone like me-"

Before I could continue Rosie crashed her lips with mine, her hands around my neck. I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her closer to me, returning the same amount of passion.

"I love you too Remus Lupin."

After a few minutes of intense kissing I grabbed Rosies hand and pulled her out for a walk.

"Remus where are we going?"

"Somewhere special to me, I'm afraid there's something else I must tell you,which may change how you feel about me" I said glancing down at my feet. This was it. This is the hardest part. I need to tell her about the monster within me.

I sat us down at the Whomping Willow, overlooking the Black Lake. Me and the marauders used to come here all the time, pranks, gossiping, heartfelt stories, everything was spoken about here.

"It's very beautiful here, what is it you'd like to tell me?" Rosie said intrigued, still holding my hand.

" I should of told you this before I got to attached but it's something I despise, I'm frowned upon for" my voice was barely a whisper,as nerves were getting the best of me.

"If this is about you being a werewolf Remus, it's really not an issue, I love you more so for it" Rosie said giving my hand a squeeze.

I turned and looked at her sharply. She knew? How long had she known? How did she find out? Did Sirius tell her?

"How, how did you know?"

"I'd like to think I have good common sense," she chuckled," besides I noticed every time you disappeared it was a full moon and well, the nickname Moony is a good start."

"I understand if you want me to stay away from you, I'd never hurt you, but I dont want to risk hurting you.I'm a monster" I said stroking her hair as her head was on my shoulders.

"Remus Lupin you are anything but a monster, you've seen my patronus is a wolf so I dont know how you can think your a monster." This was true. My shoulders relaxed and my breathing steadied. All my secrets were out to her. She knew I was a werewolf yet she didn't run. She stayed.
