Who Turned the World Upside Down? - (For Remus)

[Celestina Flamel]

She smiled, not realizing the crazy mess of thoughts swimming round in his head just now. She was beginning to become suspicious of the quivering feelings in her stomach.. all over her body really.. of the feeling that the world was upside down.. she was beginning to become suspicious of her own actions..

He's so nice... can I burden him with my problems? Can I hold myself together well enough? Could I be worthy to him as anything? Could it work for us?- It?! What's it!? Celestina this is ridiculous! Listen at yourself! You don't deserve someone like him.. She thought to herself.. but yet.. she couldn't help wondering... and the wish had begun to be awakened in her.. a feeling she'd never had before.. and it was the most wonderful and the most strange too..

She left her hand on top of his in between them and dared a shy sort of glance over in his direction.

This was bad. This was very, very bad. He looked over at Celestina and caught her glancing at him. He needed to not look at her. It clouded his brain. He needed to focus on how he was going to keep her away from him. Remus could ask Sirius to prank her until she hated him by association. He couldn't do that, it wasn't in his nature.

He said nothing, for fear of digging himself in deeper. He would have to talk to his friends. They might be able to help a little. Or possibly make things worse.

She looked up suddenly and noted that the clock chimed five and groaned slightly. She'd made plans for tea with her father in his office and it wouldn't do to be late. That meant she had to leave and that was something she really didn't want to do at this point.

She sighed, "I should go.. I promised Professor Dumbledore I'd have tea with him.. new student thing I guess... but.. um.. I'll see you tonight.. " She said, with a shy smile before dashing away up the steps towards the castle..
