Ch.11 A New Years Kiss

***

Third Person P.O.V

New Year's Eve night Remus stood pacing at the front of the Potter mansion his palms slipped against each other as a result of obsessively rubbing his hands together as he paced. It was late into the night at 11:00 Remus read on his watch and the time he told Delphina to be there in the letter he sent yesterday explaining the small details

All night he had managed to avoid and slip away from his friend's visions, he lurked around the outskirts of the crowd and behind things. Eventually sneaking out and waiting for the only thing that made him get out of his room and attend the party

Clicking heels against the pavement grabbed his attention to see Delphina dressed in loose ripped jeans, the front cuffs tucked into her doc martins, a plain deep red flannel covering her arms and letting her black turtleneck bodysuit peek through the front

Remus admired and held in high regard the way she shined standing in the cold of the London night, the bright lights illuminating the house seemingly putting the spotlight on her. His body reacted first by stepping closer holding her tightly in his grasp taking the girl by surprise

She felt so tiny as he held her as if she were a baby bird about to leave the nest. He slowly let her go, both caught in each other's eyes a tint of peppermint pink glazed over both teenagers' cheeks

"Did you have a good Christmas?" He asked gazing as she watched his lips form the words giving him a dazed nod as he smiled

He offered his hand towards her acting posh erupting in silent giggles from Delphina gently resting her palm onto his. They gape into one another's eyes as their hands slowly intertwine

In a daze, he pulls her along to the warm, bright, lively party

For the last hour, they danced and laughed, Delphina's feet were going numb from the continuous vibrating from the floor. It was safe to assume that the music was very loud causing the floor to shake with every hard beat. They enjoyed the last moments of the year together, they ran around the ballroom causing mischief, even sneaking some glasses of champagne both cringing as it had gone completely flat, but skulled it down nonetheless.

He had yet again been able to keep Delphie away from the boys only spotting them a few times but managing to direct them to a place far away from them. Without the girl getting suspicious or asking questions, he was able to enjoy the rest of his night with the one person he wanted to

It came to the countdown the two were tipsy and in fits of giggles surrounded by other drunk people counting down the seconds to the new year. Remus came down from his high as he gaped at the girl clutching onto him

Her laughter caught in her throat as the flashing lights covered his face

The Lupin boy cautiously brought his hands to her warm cheeks, waiting for her response. She only gaped into his bear brown eyes softly wrapping her hands around his neck the tips of her fingers brushing over his baby hairs

Their breathing became sporadic as he asked with no words

Delphina slowly leaned in as Remus watched her creep closer and closer to his lips a warm aroma of peppermint and champagne mixed

Upon hearing the screams and shouts, both sick of the tension closed the gap between them and their lips met

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

The wolf-boy felt her pulling away, only able to catch a breath before he grabbed the back of her head pushing her closer. Her lips were electrifying. Giving him a new burst of wildness and energy

As she ran out of oxygen her rapid taps on her shoulder made Remus finally loosen his grip, letting her take in some air he observed her intensely hoping she thought it wasn't a mistake or a one-time thing but as a smile grew on her face his question was answered

All he had to do was not let any of his friends see

He failed

A pair of eyes watched him across the room mouth shocked and dry
