I solemnly swear that I am up to no good | Professor Remus Lupin

Chapter 46 | A new face

I woke up from a loud noise. I quickly sat myself up but needed some time to realize where I was and what was going on. My mind couldn't stop circling around the events of last night...my dream had come true and i danced with Remus and it was fucking awesome. He was a really good dancer and it was really romantic. Usually I wasn't the romantic type, but this had really felt like everything i had ever wanted...

"Shit shit shit" Remus muttered and threw me out of my thoughts. He was already pacing around the room and seemed extremely worried. I watched him with amusement and still was a little dizzy  from tiredness.

"Language, Prof-" I said jokingly and yawned, but he quickly stopped me by putting his hand over my mouth. I was shocked at first and looked at him confused, then I smirked and winked at him, because this reminded me of last night.

He noticed and got even more serious. He nodded towards the door and signaled me to be quiet.

"One second, Albus" he said in a loud voice and worriedly went through his hair. Now I realized what was going on, the loud noice had been a knock at the door. Dumbledore. As realization hit me i looked at him in shock. How could we get out of this situation?

I looked at the clock it was almost lunch time, how did we sleep so long our plan had been to wake up around nine. Shit. I tried to come up with an idea, but everything seemed extremely stupid, risky or obvious.

I decided to go with risky.

"Baby, I have an idea. I am going to transform." I whispered to Remus and he nodded. I could see that he was still worried, but he also knew that we didn't have many options. I gave him a quick kiss and grabbed my clothes. I opened the window, but Remus stopped me.

"Li...like this?" He stuttered looking down at me. I was just wearing my underwear and hesitated, but another knock on the door took me the option to quickly get dressed.

"We don't have the time, don't worry I will try to find a place...hopefully the windows in my room are open..." I answered quickly and he nodded again. I concentrated myself on the transformation.

"Remus, my friend are you alright?" The headmaster asked with a small laugh and it was the last thing I heard before I flew away. That was close, I thought to myself. I flew around the castle to look for an open window, transforming outside would be way to cold. I found the window to my dorm closed so I looked for another option. After a few minutes I saw that one of the windows of the herbology classroom was open. No one was inside since we didn't have class today. When I got inside I landed on one of the tables, that was as close to the door as possible, so I could leave quickly. I wanted to get changes and took my button-up, but froze in fear when I heard voices in front of the door.  They sounded familiar...

"...I wonder where she is hiding"
"Silly, she is not hiding. She is probably just busy..." a female voice added.
"Busy?" Then there was silence for a second before the two oddly alike sounding voices started laughing.
"With the Professor?" The female voice asked.

I slowly began to realize who these voices belonged to. The twins and Grace. I rolled my eyes at myself, because I hadn't realized that today would be the day that they return to Hogwarts from their Christmas break. I thought about telling them to come into the room, but then I realized that they would just question even more what I was doing. And I probably wasn't able to talk myself out of this situation...so I left it at that and continued listening to them.

"Who is that? He looks scary..." Grace asked the twins in a low voice, but I was still able to hear it.

"Merlins beard!" The twins said in unison.
"That's one of the most famous aurors of our time!"
"Most of the wizards in Azkaban are in there because of him"
"He lost his eye and his leg in the war."
"That's Alastor Moody" the twins explained.

I gasped in shock when I heard the name. I could hear the loud rhythm of his leg prosthesis hitting the ground coming closer and closer.

Suddenly a loud clinking sound broke the tension. I had walked backwards and had accidentally bumped into a shelve, which had caused some bottles to fall onto the ground. I froze in place and hold my breath. I closed my eyes in fear of what would happen next.

"What was that?" I heard Grace asking. Then the sound of the leg prosthesis fastened.
"Get behind me" a dark unfamiliar voice stated. The door swung open and I dared myself to open my eyes again.

A tall broad men was standing in front of me. His magic eye wandered all over me, while his real eye stared right into my eyes, or more into my soul, so it felt like. He had pointed his wand directly at me, which was a little paranoid, I thought.

"Hi" I just said in a very low voice and laughed nervously. I had tried to cover myself up as much as possible.

"Maeve?" The twins and Grace asked confused as their heads popped up behind him.

"Maeve." Alastor Moody repeated and his magic eye looked in mine this time. I nodded nervously. "Falcon?" He asked and I nodded. He gave me a last look full of contempt before he left. I swallowed and let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"Oh god Maeve!" Grace nearly screamed in a mixture of excitement and shock.

"What are you doing here?" The twins asked with their eyes darted at my body. Grace rushed towards me and wrapped the button-up around me to cover me up and helped me getting dressed, since I was still in shock and unable to answer.

"I wanted to train my flying skill in my falcon-form..." I lied.

"Naked?" George asked concerned.
"She wasn't naked, George" Grace corrected him.
"Sadly..." Fred stated and she hit his arm. "Fred!"

"I guess something went wrong..." I just said, ignoring his comment.

"Well...you shouldn't let this become a trend..."George said and giggled. " I mean first Professor Lupin and now..."

"The thing with Lupin was hundred percent your fault" I replied pointing at the twins and they just fist bumped each other, which caused me to roll my eyes at them. But regardless of the memories of their prank on me or the weird situation with my new trainer, I was in now, I realized that I had missed the twins and Grace. So I walked up to the three and embraced them in a tight hug.
