Welcome Back (Remus) - COMPLETE

[talls]

Ferret sat on her bed in her very empty dorm room. She was reading the book that Remus had sent her for the holidays, wrapped in his scarf. She was dressed in a sweater that had a tag from Paris and a pair of ratty old jeans almost falling apart.

But she didn't look like....her.

She was shorter, by at least 3 inches. Her slender body was no longer slender but graced with hard curves. Her green eyes were brown and her long brown hair was now a bright blond.

She had woken up this way for almost the entire holiday. She would turn back but when she would look in the mirror, she would be that way again.

Open on the nightstand was the image she found herself looking like most. It as the Augest 1975 edition of playboy and she looked like the playmate of the month, Lillian Müller.

Smiling, Ferret turned the page, humming lightly and looking at her watch. Almost time for lunch. Which meant no one would be in the common room.

Thank god.

[remuslupin]

Remus wandered into the common-room in search of Ferret, having been informed she was in the Gryffindor Tower. He'd just arrived back at the castle, and he wanted to cuddle with his new-found girlfriend after having been separated from her for just over a week. Looking around, he saw no sign of her and concluded she must be up in her dorm room - the perfect opportunity for him to surprise her, given that boys weren't supposed to be able to get up there.

The enchantment was one full of loopholes when one thought about it, however. Being tied to the surface of the stairs themselves left a world of opportunities to bypass the spell, the simplest of which Remus was about to exploit. Taking a quick look around to be sure he wasn't about to spread about the fact he knew how to do this and that no-one untrustworthy - like Sirius "Mangy" Black - was around, Remus pulled out his wand. Casting a modified Sticking charm on his boots, he walked his way up onto the roof of the stairway and climbed up to the 5th Years' dorm that way, without touching the stairs so much as once.

Undoing the charm, Remus dropped down into a crouch outside the door and knocked on the door to check if anyone else was in there. Hearing only Ferret's voice, he pulled the door open and grinned. "Honey, I'm home!" Spotting a strange girl he'd never seen before sitting in what he presumed was Ferret's bed, he gave her a warm smile and blew her a kiss. "Hey there stranger. Trying on a new face?"

[talls]

Ferret jumped and looked up to see Remus walking into her dorm. How he got up to the dorms flew from her mind as she jumped from her bed, running to embrace him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

"New face? Silly, I've always looked like this," she said, leaning up to peck his cheek. She smiled up at him. "I've missed you Remus. I was so lonely when you were gone." She smiled and stroked his cheek

"Did you grow while you were gone? I seem to remember us being closer in height..."

[remuslupin]

Ferret bounded across the room to wrap her arms around him - at least, Remus was fairly sure it was Ferret - and Remus smiled and returned the embrace. Even though her embrace felt different due to whatever body she was wearing this time, it was still good to touch and smell her again. He'd missed her over the holidays - they were definitely on to spend both Easter and next Christmas together if Remus had anything to say about it.

But he was snapped out of his daydream of Easter cuddles and kisses by Ferret's next statement. Blinking in surprise, Remus stood there slightly dazed and confused as Ferret continued to ramble on, kissing and stroking his cheek. Holding up his hands, he smiled uncertainly. "Let's just hold up there a moment, because it's only been a week since I last saw you and I'm fairly sure you looked different then. I have photos you sent me at Christmas when you had your old face, and I'm fairly sure I haven't grown. You've shrunk!"

Fishing around in his pocket for the charm-protected envelope, Remus pulled out the most innocent of the photos she'd sent him and handed it to her with a smile. "That's what you looked like before I left - the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful macaroni loving girlfriend I know." Planting a light kiss on her lips, Remus waited for her reaction.

[talls]

Ferret took the picture and studied it. He was right. She had looked like this. This was her normal body, her normal face. The face Remus loved. Smiling softly, Ferret slowly shifted back into her normal self. She certainly felt better now.

She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hm...this is how I remember it," she muttered, her face slightly red in embarrassment. But she then leaned in to kiss him eagerly, pressing herself more firmly against him.

When she pulled away, she looked at the picture again and a smirk crossed her features. "This isn't the only picture I sent you was it? I was sure I sent you more. Other more... scandalous ones. Or did your mates find and enjoy them?" She winked playfully at him, smiling.

[remuslupin]

Remus smiled as Ferret shifted back into her normal self. "Welcome back." He whispered, then kissed her softly again. As Ferret wrapped her hands around his neck, plastered herself against him and kissed him Remus felt a slow-spreading warmth tingling from everywhere she touched as he flushed slightly. Even since she'd sent him those photos, he'd been longing to kiss her and touch her again, though he was too shy and embarrassed (also a little ashamed because he wasn't that kind of boy) to ever admit it out loud.

As Ferret smirked at him, Remus' blush deepened as she winked at him. "You certainly did - and they were very much appreciated. I hope you enjoyed yours," His face burned, but he pressed on, "Even though my body could never shine a candle up to yours." He gave a wicked grin. "And I should think not. If they had I would've killed them and they would never have found the bodies." Pulling Ferret back into his embrace, Remus nuzzled at the juncture of her neck and shoulder, planting tiny feather-light kisses there while taking sniffs of that scent that was uniquely hers.

[talls]

Ferret smiled and blushed. "Oh I did. And I disagree. I think it not only shines a candle up to mine, but a lighthouse." She stroked his cheek, so glad to have the feel of his skin against hers again. One week was hell. She didn't even want to imagine what three months of summer was going to be like.

But she laughed at his words. "You would kill your own mates if they found pictures of me? I'm flattered Remus." She stuck her tongue out at him and let out a surprised, but not un-pleased, squeak when he pulled her back into his embrace. Ferret bit her lip gently as she felt her boyfriend nuzzles and kiss at her neck. A pleasurable shiver passed through her as she closed her eyes and allowed her head to roll back, getting lost in the sensations Remus was giving her. Her body felt like it was on fire and her heart beat hard and fast. Her mind was fogging in arousal and pleasure of his simple gesture.

[remuslupin]

As Ferret stroked his cheek, Remus let out a soft low moan of contentment. He'd always had very sensitive cheeks, and it seemed that when it came to Ferret's touch that was even more true. The corners of his mouth turned up into a blissful smile as he ran his fingers through Ferret's hair. "Well if I'm a lighthouse, little Ferret, then you are the magnificent sun." He chuckled, "Perhaps we shall just agree to disagree."

"Of course I would. You're-" He suddenly cut himself off and blushed violently. As Ferret melted against him Remus continued to place kisses down the column of her neck as he stroked her hair. Loosing himself in the moment, he put aside all his worries and plans and thoughts and just enjoyed being with her and having her in his arms again.

[talls]

"I'm what Remus?" She looked at him curiously, a soft smile on her lips. But his touch and his lips were like a high she never wanted to come down from. And it made her feel wonderful that she had just as strong of an effect on him as he did on her.

Ferret's eyes closed as he kissed the column of her neck. That combined with the stroking of her hair made her knees go slightly weak.

"Remus...do you mind if we sit down? You are turning my legs weak." She smiled warmly at him, resting an arm around his shoulder. "But I would very much like to continue this if possible..."

[remuslupin]

"You're..." Remus blushed and took a deep breath as he gathered his courage. "...mine?" The statement came out more like a question as his face burned and he gave a shy shrug. "I'd be quite happy to be yours." As he continued planting kisses he hid his face in the side of her neck.

"Not at all." Remus smiled warmly back then his eyes went wide with amazement. "Wait - me?" He was making her legs weak. Remus had never thought anyone would find him attractive so that he'd have that chance, but it filled him with an odd sort of pride. His blush faded as he became more comfortable with what was going on until there was just a faint pink tinge on his face as Ferret made her last statement.

Sitting down on her bed and leading her down to sit next to him, Remus pulled Ferret back into his arms and resumed playing with her hair and kissing her neck, now interspersing the whispery little kisses with soft nips. His heart swelled in his chest from contentment as Remus breathed in Ferret's smell and revelled in the feel of her in his arms and the taste of her skin, knowing there was nowhere in the world he would rather be.

[talls]

Ferret smiled and leaned in to kiss him sweetly. "I'm yours for as long as you will have me Remus," she whispered, stroking his hair.

The girl giggled at his reaction, kissing his forehead. "Do you see anyone else here kissing my neck and making me weak kneed?" she asked, smiling sweetly.

As Remus led her to her bed and pulled her into a hug, she moved so she was straddling his lap. This was mostly so their bodies were not in any type or awkward position but she couldn't deny the slightly more intimate air it presented. Ferret gasped and let out soft moans and the boy kissed and nipped at her neck. Her mind was spinning and she smiled gently.

"Remus...how brave are you?" she asked, her words intertwined with the gasps of pleasure he was making her breath.

[remuslupin]

Well," Remus pretended to consider it, "James does have that Invisibility Cloak, though you didn't hear it from me." He winked at Ferret and grinned.

As Ferret moved to straddle his lap, Remus let out a gasp of surprise. The sensation was by no means unpleasant (quite the opposite, in fact) he just hadn't quite been expecting that when she asked to sit down. Though given it was her bed they were relocating to (he blushed at the thought), maybe he should've seen it coming. Still, he definitely wasn't complaining at the warmth of her body against him and the delicious combination of the aroma and taste of her skin.

"Well," Remus joked with a cheeky grin, "I was somehow sorted into Gryffindor." Dropping the act, he looked into her eyes and tried to communicate how much he trusted her. "With you by my side, I don't think my courage would have a limit." Remus blushed and lowered his gaze, returning to planting kisses like angel wings along her neck and hiding his face with the same action.

[talls]

Ferret let out a soft groan of pleasure as Remus kissed her neck. His words made her heart swell and she felt more confident on what she was about to do.

As he kissed her neck, Ferret reached for his hands. Taking them in hers, she placed then on her hips. Still guiding him, she slid them up her sides and under her sweater. She let go once his hands rested on her waist. Stroking his hair to have him look at her, she leaned in to kiss him. She took fistfuls of his shirt in order to keep him close to her and no allow him to move away. Almost tentatively, the tip of her tongue darted across his lips, asking for entry.

[remuslupin]

Ferret's groan set Remus skin to tingling and his heart to racing, and he let out a soft sympathetic moan himself. As Ferret took his hands and slid them under her shirt and placed them on her hips, Remus felt a sudden hot flush of arousal as their skin touched. This was all a new experience for him, but he felt slightly more confident knowing that Ferret wanted his hands there; wanted him to touch her like that.

Tentatively at first, Remus let his hands splay across Ferret's hipbones and let his thumbs drift in teasing circles to test her reaction. Struck by the incredible softness of Ferret's skin, Remus ran his fingers lightly up her sides then let them rest there stroking in short lines, trying not to arouse laughter but pleasure. As Ferret took the lead, grabbing his shirt and pulling him in, Remus relaxed into her kiss, letting his lips part in response to her tongue's probing.

[talls]

Ferret gasped as she felt his hands move. Her skin shivered under his touch, the feels spreading from his hands making her let out a soft moan against his lips. As she felt his lips part, she pressed herself more firmly against him. Gently she let her tongue brush his ever so gently before retreating back.

She wanted to explore him, but she kept reminding herself that this was his first time. She needed to take it slow. She moved her hands to his cheeks, caressing them gently before sliding them slowly down his neck, over his shoulders and onto his chest once more. Slight as he was, and slight how she loved him, she could still feel the power that sat beneath her.

She just needed to find a way to let some of it out.
