Chapter Sixteen

Letting out a small grumble, you went to flip over in an attempt to help yourself fall back to sleep, not yet wanting to wake up. To your surprise, you noticed the feeling of warm arms wrapped around you. Batting open your eyes, you blushed in realisation that you were only a few centimetres away from Remus' face. 'Oh gosh, how did I... Oh yeah...' You felt a smile tug on your lips as you remembered the night before, how you two had finally ended up together. Your heart warmed at the memory, even if it had been recent, it felt almost nostalgic.

Being the first time you had woken up beside the brunette, you couldn't help but stare at the details of his face. Scars ran across his pale cheeks, 'I wonder what stories they hold' you thought wistfully as you carefully raised a hand, tracing one of them. Letting out a small groan, the professor started to stir, his eyes opening slightly to gauge his surroundings. "Good morning dear" His morning voice sent shivers down your spine, in a good way, of course, it was deeper than usual... more sensual. As his eyes cracked open, you saw his lips upturn into a smile just as yours did at the sight of him.

Placing a light kiss on his cheek, you smiled back at him lovingly, "Morning love" you murmured softly. Remus let out a breathy, tired sounding chuckle, as he moved his hand up to wipe the sleep from his eyes. You placed a hand on his side, gently rubbing it with your thumb as you watched him attempt to stay awake. "We have to get up," he reminded, staring into your (E/C) eyes, "Would you like some tea?" Letting out a small breath, almost sounding relieved, you nodded. Making a small noise, the brunette shuffled his way out of bed almost unwillingly, stretching slightly as he finally found his way to his feet.

Following after him, you sat up, swiping your legs off the side of the bed before practically throwing yourself onto the floor below. Raising your arms above your head, you let out a breath as you stretched, content with the feeling. Opening your closed eyes, you saw Remus was making tea in the corner, you smiled at the sight, his tea was always the best.

The rest of the morning flew by faster than you'd liked it too, you drank tea before having to go down to the great hall for breakfast, luckily no one asked where you had disappeared to. However, you did notice something was off with Valerie, but you tried not to question it too much. Occasionally, you had caught Remus staring at you, you would just blush and look down at your plate in response, not wanting anyone to catch your line of sight. You spoke amongst your housemates, mostly about classes, homework, alongside some things to do with the golden trio. They really did get up to a lot of mischief, you didn't try to stick your nose in their business often, it was too much to handle.
