Obsessed -- January 1975

I smiled at her. "Thanks," I said, "and I agree... or get rid of Madam Pince and get someone who actually likes to feel their limbs to be the librarian."

" That would be easier though...but I think it would be hard to get rid of Madam Pince...." I shrugged. " How long has she been the librarian?" I asked him curiously. " I mean she's had to be there for a long time." I grinned as we were reaching the Tower. I said the password and let Remus go first. " go ahead."

"Thanks," I said as I climbed through the portal hole. "And probably too long... change is always a good thing." I looked around. "Do you want these books over there on the table?" I asked, indicating the one by the fire that was open... only because everyone should be in class right now for the most part.

I nodded. " Yes, thanks." Putting the books where Remus had asked me, I turned, " I'll make that tea...thankfully the fire is open...less cold..." I smiled looking to him. As I conjured up some tea as I had cups for us to use. Sitting down on the couch I turned to him. " A little better at least?" I asked him.

I nodded, "Yes, a little better." I hadn't even been paying attention to the pain in my head, but as soon as she mentioned it I couldn't stop thinking about it now. But oh well... what was I going ot do? It's not like there was a cure for lycanthropy.

I smiled "Glad to hear." Taking a sip, forgetting how hot I had made it. " Wow..." I mumbled wiping off my mouth as I was worried that I had some tea running down my chin. " You look cold...you sure you're alright?" I asked him. Here I was sitting with Remus Lupin and I was probably creeping him out or something. " Er..sorry.." I mumbled.

I chuckled. "You don't need to keep apologizing," I told her. "And I'm just a little under the weather right now... but I'll be fine, I always am. It's just knocking me on my ass more than usual." I held the tea in my hands, letting the warmth fill my fingertips. It had been quite chilly outside... I could handle it more than others though.

I smiled. " Okay...um...I could try something my mum tried on me whenever I was feeling under the weather if you like?" I asked him. I just had to stand behind him and rub his temples. Well, I think that would be to awkward for him maybe? I felt myself blush at the thought.

I leaned back in my chair a little bit. "That actually is helping a bit," I said, trying to keep the tone of surprise out ofmy voice.

I smiled, " Good to hear that. My mum used to do it for me all the time." I laughed as I continued to rub his temples.

"Thanks, Chloe," I said genuinely. It didn't take it all away... but enough of it was gone that I wasn't in so much pain. Hallelujah

Smiling, " you're welcome. I'm glad it helped you out a little bit." I stretched. He looked so tired I just wanted to hug him and let him fall asleep.

"You don't need to look so concerned," I said, catching her eye. "I'm always getting... ill."

That still shouldn't mean to stop caring about you..." I said genuinely with a smile on my face. Him always being sick is no excuse for me to stop helping.

I smiled a bit. "youre too kind," I said.
