He laughed when she looked at him like that. Shaking his head, he sighed, though he replied with a jovial tune. “I care about you not because of your charm, but because you’re my sister. Now that might affect me because of our relation.” He winks at her again. “You don’t need to worry, my feelings for you are true.”

Nope. No go. Darn. Oh well.
She was so upset just a few minutes ago, it was amazing how quickly he was able to cheer her back up. It was so nice to have him back in her life again. She couldn't help the silly smile as she launched herself at him again. Now if only they could be brother and sister outside if this office. Though she took small liberties by walking with him in the hall and carrying on conversations. She knew that was getting looks, but not weird ones. They might be looking at her in jealousy because she was so... casual with him. At least as casual a student could be. She sighed.
"Fine, whatever you say, big brother."
She smiled, "thanks for making me feel better. It's cheesy, but, you're better than any chocolate bar."
Glad he was able to cheer her up, accepting her embrace and mirroring her silly smile. He hugged her close, squeezing for just a second. When it came to helping others, he wasn’t bad at it, but when it came to others helping him, he wouldn’t allow it. In a way it was hypocritical, but it was due to his pride – he was supposed to take care of himself and not make anyone’s life harder. He couldn’t be a burden.
“Well now I wouldn’t go that far…” He chuckles but then he remembers something from his meeting with that Slytherin boy. “When you get the chance, can you explain to Willow that we are definitely not lovers? He seems to be under the impression we’re closer than teacher and student… probably because I talked to him like a concerned parent. He suggested we were lovers, daughter and father, or things like that – I mean, I’m not one for everyone figuring out our relation, but I’d rather rumors like that not go around? Teacher and his student – so scandalous…” He teased that last part.

Her face paled.
"He thinks what?!"
She didn't know whether to start laughing or... anyway. "See, I told you it would just be easier if we came clean as to why I'm up here between nearly every class. Dammit, Moony!"
She huffed, crossing her arms. "You know, I already get looks, but since they see me with Willow in a more romantic standpoint than just bringing you lunch, they haven't said anything. But why'd you have to go and do that? Crazy overprotective brother... Merlin's pants."
He shook his head and laughs slightly. “Well now, that isn’t my fault you’ve been seen coming over here, now is it? Not that I complain too much – but even still. I’d rather not have that type of reputation.” Then again, A Very Potter Musical says differently, but that wasn’t really something he was fine with. He wanted to be loved, just not in that way.
“Yes, well, when I was his age, I was friends with some very cruel boys. I was not a mean boy, but a majority of boys that age tended to be… fairly cruel to each other and especially girls.”

"Okay, fine. I won't come anymore. How about that?"
She sticks her tongue out at him, feigning hurt.
"But honestly, I don't know why you'd rather keep our relation so under wraps. It's not like the curse is hereditary. Not like the succubus part, which I was so lucky to inherit."
She rolled her eyes, sighing. "Not saying I'm not going respect your opinion on this, I just think it's a little silly."
He gave her a small smile and shook his head. Ah, so innocent.
“Well now, we can’t have that. I don’t know what I would do without you,” He puts a hand to his heart and then laughs lightly.
“Think of it this way, Rose. You’ve already said how some had figured you out. Now here’s your brother, a professor, and they suddenly notice he feels ill right around the same time as you do – normally one doesn’t keep track of the moon but then they make a connection.”

She rolls her eyes again, "well; true, but, I'm also not out for an entire week like a certain someone else I know. I just retire very early and miss a class or two the next day. Sometimes I use the excuse just to sleep in. Since normally I'm up and down at breakfast by six am. Which is not normal for really anyone around here."
She gave a shrug, "then again, if you do start taking your potion regularly and our absences do align up like that, I foresee that happening. While my housemates have figured it out - only because they're Ravenclaws and can't keep their curious noses out of other people's business - there's only one other person in this school that I could see figuring it out in no time at all. And that's a certian Gryffindor who has a penchant for being nosy as it is. Or you know, noticing trends, or signs, or... anyway. She's really smart, that Hermione Granger. Annoyingly so, really."
Rose snickered slightly. "Buuuuuut like I said, I'm going to respect it; but I think people will figure us out regardless of how descreet I am about bringing you lunch."
She shook her head. "Lover, Merlin's Pants. With this whole succubus thing! It's a no wonder! I'll talk to Willow - blimey that's gonna be one heck of conversation - but, I mean, I'm going to have to tell him something to excuse your protective yet loving concern, Remus. And I mean..."
She bit her bottom lip, looking guilty. "It might just expose the both of us anyway?"
It was very interesting how Rose was viewing Hermione – seeing as he had been friends with someone who had been very similar to Hermione, and even had a crush on that said friend (not that he would ever have told her, nor would he ever tell anyone, Lily was off-bounds because James like her, and he was happy seeing the two of them happy together anyways).
“Hermione may notice, but given the circumstances of her birth and the stigma she had already faced since she is a muggle born, I think she would understand – not to say I want her to find out. However, out of everyone here, I think it would not be catastrophic if she figured it out. Not only that, she didn’t live in a world where people like us were feared and cursed at every corner.” He nods but soon frowns at the thought of the Gryffindor figuring him out. He needed to be extra careful around her, and he made sure to note this to himself.
“I told him I knew your mother and she asked me to watch over you… It wasn’t technically a lie.”

"Told him you knew my mother," she sighs again. "No, not a lie, just, evading the truth."
She gives him a stern look, "and it's weird for me to be saying this, but be careful, Moony. I know I cause trouble for myself, but... that was just icing on the cake in terms of trouble."
She laughed, "like, a bad flavour on a chocolate cake."
She thought about that for a second. "If there even is such a thing."
“Look, I know what I did was stupid. I wasn’t thinking straight, I was worried.” He holds his hands up slightly in defense. He considered for a moment what was going on – a chocolate cake with a bad flavor as icing? Interesting. What could be bad? That was almost blasphemy.
“I’ll be even more careful. Though I’m not sure you really want that. I can be a bit… too careful at times.” He winks at her. “And there is such a thing. It’s onion flavor.”

Her nose wrinkled at the thought.
"You know what, ew. Gross; and no. You're right, I was the complete opposite. Stop being careful, Remus. Be reckless. Take risks. Be a Gryffindor for Merlin's sake. It's been awhile since you last were."
There was a soft beep from her watch telling her it was nearly curfew and if there was one thing that was worse than Cho is was the Ravenclaw prefect.
"Well, speaking of being careful. I must jet before things get too questionable and I have to come up with some excuse as to why I was in here way past curfew."
He laughed seeing her reaction to his conclusion to be even more careful. He understood he wasn’t the most reckless person in the world having thought through almost everything he ever did, especially recently, except that one meeting with Willow.
“Oh, well in that case I might just do that because you told me to. I’m sure Dora would enjoy a bit of recklessness on my part,” He gave Rose a wink and then stood up when her watch went off. He waved to her a sad little wave when she explained she had to leave. He completely understood and watched as she walked on off. That was too bad, he enjoyed this conversation. And he hoped she would be better now that she knew, a bit more mindful.
