"You sound like my brother."
She frowned at this but she didn't look too terribly upset at this realization.
"A Slytherin manipulating a Slytherin? Sure, I was down on my luck, but gosh... that's... that's really dark, Sev."
Again, she finds herself unable to argue with the points he makes. Understanding that even he's being cautious.
She then grins. "If it is as you say. We are Slytherins, what makes you think I should believe these... concerns of yours, hm, Severus? Perhaps you are manipulating me in a completely different way. But your motives are completely clear."
She rose a brow in challenge and she shook her head.
"No, he hasn't requested anything of the sort of me!"

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She grins and nods. "Good. I'm going to hold you to that. And don't worry. I can't hurt anyone, even if I wanted to. I'm too soft-hearted."
She snickers.
"That Rosemerta!" she laughs. "Always after those younger guys."
She shook her head, giving him a teasing look. "I do. I have a health issue that causes me to have really bad anaemia. So the rarer the steak the better. And well seasoned."
She licks her lips in thought. Rosemerta shook her head, looking to her. "The usual then."
Rose rolled her eyes, "fine enough. I didn't eat well enough this week."
Rosemerta shook her head, "bad girl. You know better than that." Rosemerta pressed a key into Remus' hand. "Your usual room."
A smirk from Rosemerta. "You two head on up there and get cosy, I'll have someone bring it up shortly. There's warm butterbeer waiting for you."
Rose grinned and took Remus' hand pulling him towards the stairs. "It's my middle name, actually. I don't go my by family name. Too much bad stigma."

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She sighs. "That's... I knew I overreacted. And I felt terrible for it."
She looks down at her lap. "I know he... doesn't see me like I'm using him. Using the odd sort of naivety he has about the world. I know I'm not that sort of person."
A small smile appeared on her face. He said he was going to stay away for a week, but he showed up after my transformation... he'd... he'd made some sort of salve, that... masks my scars."
She looks up, "I mean, there are lots of things he's done. But I think that's pretty telling, isn't it?"

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
At the world tiger, she grinned, a tad bit seductively, and growled, nipping at him. He stood and steadied her further, which just put her even more into his arms, against him, in his warmth and she had to take a deep breath to focus.
As they walked out the door, her eyes swept to some reflective glass and saw her guise was still in place. She had chosen something simple in the first place. She actually really looked like herself, in a way, but also didn't.
It was a good cover. Very good.
"Anything...?" she repeated wistfully. "I'll give that a thought. I may have a request for you. Though I might keep it till the end of the week."
She chuckled. "Any reason why you had to specify working relationship?"
She cackles, her head resting back against his shoulder as she laughs and presses herself into him.
"Ah, does she? Like really good, super, super rare ones?"
The thought made her mouth water.
Oh, she knew Madam Rosemerta made the best. She normally got her week-before-the-full-moon feastings from her.
The trip to The Three Broom Sticks was short. It was only down and across the street, after all.
As they walked in, Rosmerta began her normal greeting before cutting herself off short at what she was looking at.
At this moment, Rose suddenly remembered that this guise was one of the ones she normally used her. Fuck. She gave Rosemerta a look, she hoped to convey her message.
It seemed Rosemerta caught it, and looked to Remus. "Mr Lupin, I see you've brought female company with you for once. Shall I have dinner sent up to your room then?"
Rosemerta looked to her. "I assume you'll have what he's having," Rosemerta said this with a knowing grin. "Miss. Hope."
Rose blushed darkly as the use of the name she had given Rosemerta to use.
"Yes Madam Rosemerta."

About that...
"I know you're worried. For a moment... I think we're both overreacting. I'm overreacting. Because I've done wrong on so many accounts... it's natural for me to latch onto when I feel like something's gone wrong."
She shook her head as if recalling things. "He's... he's done so much good. He's helped me so much. But I can also see the signs, what it might look like from a third party... on the outside. But... I know it's not like that. And even if it's sometimes accidentally that, I have the power to bring it up to him. I'm not trapped. Though it would pain him for me to leave."
She sighs. "We... actually had a bit of a fight. In which we needed to take a bit fo a breather. I... reacted to something he said. As I said, it's so easy for me to latch onto the bad things, I'm always subconsciously looking for it. How people can betray me, use me... I try not to. But, reality is an ugly thing."
Her jaw clenched, "I accused him of thinking I only loved him for his money. That I was only there because of it. Because I was in distress, so I was just trying to get by."
She looks up at him. "And that's stupid because he's not... I'm not that type of person... right?"?

She smiles warmly and stands, wobbling slightly. Speaking of drinking and having not eaten... plus firewiskey was pretty strong shit. She reached out and put a hand to his shoulder to steady herself.
That shy boyish look was on her again, and her stomach fluttered. Not resisting, she leaned in, pressing her lips lightly to his.
"I get you. Fate seems to answer when you least expect it."
She linked her fingers with his, smiling. "Well, I don't think you'll need any more of that tonight, Remus. Come with me, find comfort in me, and I'll chase away all the bad feelings. Okay?"
She gave him a grin.
"Why don't we head over and see what Rosemerta can put together for us, hm?"

"Truth," she said with a shrug. "I mean, I have so many things I find attractive it's exhausting to list them all. So..."
She smiles. "It's just easier to go with the flow. Easier to see if I'm incompatible with a person than I am compatible because I can mesh so easily with anyone. Personality wise at least."
Her brows rose and nodded. "I'm sure you'll find something, that works. And I'll survive until then."
Another grin.
"It sounds delicious, though. I'll have to find some."

She exhaled shakily. Even if they did talk, what would be the solution? Would Reg tell her to stay away?
God if that was the solution...
She didn't know what she'd do.
"It's... it's not your fault. I mean... we'd agreed. But.. I feel like I betrayed you by... by not holding on. I... feel like it's almost like I completely disregarded you. Which... which I know, I didn't.. I don't."
She looks down at her lap, then back up at him.
"I love you. I do."
She bit her bottom lip. "I don't know how any of this works either. I know... that normally... one person being in a relationship with two people... just isn't normal. But I'm not normal. But I also know that doesn't work for some either."
She swallows. "I just want happiness for all of us."

She carded a hand through his hair, smiling softly. "Maybe, this will give you the jump boost you need, hm?"
She puts her hand on his chin, pulling her gaze towards her. "If it gives you comfort, Remus Lupin, I would love to do so. Shall we take dinner there, as well? I feel you've been drinking too much with not enough food, which isn't healthy."

She trembled at his touch.
"I... I don't want to lose you, but I don't know what to do."
She looks at him, lips twisted into a rye smile. "I can't just look at you as a friend. It's impossible at this point."

Gods, she wanted that too.
"I think, you being an overprotective big brother, I think she'll accept that."
A smile. "It's okay to be worried, but, I think what she wants most is for you to give them a change, for her."
She reaches out for his hand and squeezes it. "No... I... I understand, the need for companionship. I... I don't..."
Gods she was getting emotional.
Screw it.
"I won't... I can't promise anything. But I will stay with you tonight. I..if you'll have me."

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She felt her heart clench and her hand pulled away as she sat back into the chair, looking at him, eyes inquisitive.
Paper thoughts.
She sighed scrubbing her face. She felt torn. She wasn't supposed to be torn. This is what she got, she supposed. Dabbling something as dangerous as this.
She tore her eyes away from him, feeling the tears well up in her eyes, burning, she closed them, taking a deep breath.
"You must think I'm a terrible person. I shouldn't be here. But... I care about you, your happiness, your well being."
She gives him a pained expression. "I am a terrible person, aren't I? Loving two people? It's not fair on either of you."

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She shook her head with a smile.
"I have a feeling I know who's on your mind. Your sister is precious to you. You only have one."
She shifted, "I have a brother too. We... had a falling out as well, but he's older than I am. So I get it... it's hard. especially since it's not like the feelings ever go away."
She chuckled slightly. He had changed his position and she frowned slightly. "Look, I didn't take it the wrong way, at all... I just... I think we should give it time. There's... there are things you don't know about me, and I'm not ready to come clean with them yet."
She grins.
"But I really like you too. To the moon and back."

SHe couldn't keep the seductive grin from showing, "I do like to experiment. A lot. Don't get the opportunity to so do very often, however... it takes a certain... calibre of partner."
He let go of her hand as she reached out for it again, squeezing it tightly. "I think you're doing a fine job, Severus. You... just need to have a little hope, just a little bit longer."

She smiles, looking into his eyes and then pulling away. Knew she had set herself up for that. The two of them were so different. Reg was sweet, while Sev was daring.
Ah. Be still her heart. She giggles. "So precise, it's to be expected of you, Severus. I love how careful you are. Every move, deliberate."
A small shudder shook her body.
"Your mum was smart and I agree with her, wholeheartedly."
