William sat with his head on the desk. He was the new Care of Magical Creatures professor and he hadn't expected to feel this nostalgic about being back in his old school with all of the old memories. He looked around his classroom, the students should be arriving soon. He hated to idea of introducing himself, his stutter usually brought a lot of unwanted statements to the floor and he had to deal with them then and there.
Will hadn't been anywhere near Hogwarts since he left, he hadn't had nay contact with anyone from the school teachers or otherwise, it was like he'd just dropped off the face of the earth. He had no idea what Charity had gone on to do or be with, he had no idea how anyone was doing but now was a chance to really get into it, get his life back on track. His disease was horrible last full moon and he woke up in the middle of some woods somewhere that's when he knew he needed to actually do something useful.
The new Professor stood up and wrote his name up for everyone to see. He had to erase his first name, he wasn't used to his new title just yet.

Charity was told that there was a few extra desks in the Care of Magical Creatures room that she could add to her classroom. As she had been walking to the classroom, she had wondered who they had brought in this year for teaching. Hopefully it was someone competent that had a semi-decent grasp on the concept of what a magical creature was classified as. Like a werewolf... such as William..
Charity opened the door and lost her breath. Even with his back to her, it seemed so achingly familiar. The back that had once had her claw marks and crescent moons all over it. The back that had taken so much abuse, had supported him as he had been braced over top of her. A back that she ran her hands over every night in her dream.
Charity wanted to turn and run. She wanted to claw her way out of the suddenly stuffy room as the need to cry started to suffocate her. This was not what she had wanted to deal with at this moment. This assault was the worst thing that could've rocked her. She couldn't leave now. she knew William's keen wolf senses had already picked up her entry.
Without any other choices.. Charity walked forward, trailing a hand on the nearby desk. "Well... doesn't seem like much has change, does it, William?" She cursed herself for the break in her voice on his name. She hadn't said his name since she left Hogwarts. She had vowed to never remember him.

William stopped, he literally dropped everything. He sensed something he hadn't felt since....William didn't know what to do. He couldn't turn and even if he did, how would he greet her? Should he turn and smile? Should he give her a hug? What? His breathing increased in speed and depth.
She smelled so intoxicating, his wolfish senses picking it up immediately. He had thought about Charity everyday at some point, whether he was looking at the ring that hung around his neck or if he was dreaming she would always be there. The breath caught in his throat. William turned to face her and a large smile stretched his lips. "Apparently not, you l...l...look as lovely as e..e..ever Charity..." He'd said her name so many times over the years. The werewolf looked at her up and down, scanning for any differences in the figure he'd known so well.
William walked over to her, unsure of what to do. William looked at her. "So, w...w..w..what are you doing here? M..M..Miss Anderson?"

Charity closed her eyes, an expression of pain an pleasure mingling on her face. His voice was deeper, more mature. She hadn't been expecting that. Not to mention his face. He still looked like William but... his face was more matured. She still remembered every freakle, line and scar though. She remembered them too well. How many times over the past years had she wished for William? How many days had she woken up crying, her heart ready to break. How many days had she spent all alone, never dating after Hogwarts?
Charity opened her eyes to stare at William. Her heart felt like it was breaking, floating among her and stabbing her at different intervals. This year was not going to end as she had expected.
Charity leaned back against the desk, adopting her cocky behavior as usual. She smiled as licked her lips as she pulled herself up to sit on top of it. "Oh, you know. Dumbledore contacted me. Wanted a new Defense Against The Dark arts professor. Who better to call up than Charity Anderson, huh?" Charity crushed a lock of hair behind her ear. "And I know why he chose you. Who better to teach about magical creatures than a mutt, right?"

Will smiled at her. "Y..You know Charity, you're the only p..p..person who could say that to me?" He couldn't take it anymore, he closed the distance on her a little more being near her was like a drug. He'd waited for so long to see her again but he just couldn't work up the courage and now she had come crashing into his life again.
William stared into her eyes, she was the same as he remembered. She was still breathtakingly beautiful, she may of gotten a little older but she was still the same ol' Charity underneath, the way she stood, the way she breathed and spoke. He couldn't count how many times he'd tried to find her only to back out incase she didn't want to see him. Will walked a little close still and out-stretched a hand to brush her cheek as his smile brightened the room. "I..I..I've been w..wanting to see you for so long..."

Charity paniked as he came closer. He wasn't going to touch her, was he? e couldn't do that. She might just die if he did. The entire facade would fall if he touched her. But, dammit, she wanted him to touch her. She wanted to be held by him again. The need was there, as it had been even back in Hogwarts. The part of her that practically begged to be touched by him.
The moment his hand touched her cheek, she pulled back and scooted across the desk. She shook her head as she tuned her back and walked across the classroom. "Of course I can talk to you like that. I'm me..." Charity turned, happy she had put three desk spans between them. "But I can't say I've wanted to see you much over the past years. Quite the opposite, actually." Charity smiled slightly.
"William, we're older now. We're more mature. We're not just going to fall into bed together. I have a life."

William was quite shocked, she didn't want to see him? He'd wasted that much of his life fighting over if he could work up the courage to see her? He must seem like some kind of idiot. William took in a deep breath holding back all the emotions. "I..I..I..I..I understand...T...T..Things have changed.." William reached for his neck playing with the ring that hung around it. "I..I feel alittle stupid having kept t..t..this now"
William lifted the ring from underneath his shirt to show it to her. He then walked to his desk and plunged into the seat. He looked at her playing a fake warm smile. As he looked at her, as he watched her the image broke down. His normally ever-present smile disappeared and he just stared at her. "Do you know how m..many n..n..nights I've dreamed of you Charity? H..How m..m..many times I've wondered where you were? H..H...How many times I..I..I've thought of you being m...married with a family? But I understand Charity. You know me too well for me to pretend I'm angry."

Charity vowed that she wasn't going to look down. She didn't want to know what he was talking about. Whatever it was it wasn't going to make her feel good about herself. She should've took the cowards way and leave when she could've. knowing Dumbledore, he had cooked this up in an effort to deter her from joining Voldemort now that he had risen to power again. She was done being a housewife, done appealing herself to the media. Oh, she was going to continue to keep up her appearances outside of Hogwarts, the better to keep what she was doing under wraps. She was still very close to Voldemort and nobody could change that.
Even her children were still keeping up appearances. Charity was very proud of her Gryffindor daughter. Her little daughter that was so sweet and innocent, or so it would seem. Nobody knew how closely tied the Andersons were to Voldemort. Nobody needed to.
Charity pulled herself out of her person thoughts before she finally looked up at William. "I can't believe you kept that. It's been years, William. I may have thought of you a few times, and I may still react to your touch but we hut each other too muchh to be together again. We can't do it."

William pushed himself from his chair, the chair slid and hit the wall. William couldn't sit down, he couldn't stay still while Charity was here. He headed towards her again, closing the distance she tried to put between them. "Charity...I..I..I'm a lot more in control of my W...Werewolf instincts now and you know that I..I..I...." William trailed off, how could he say it now? How could he say it after all these years? William switched off his thoughts for a moment and decided it was now or never.
William relied of his survival instincts, fight or flight. He wasn't a coward. William wrapped an arm around her and held her close. William had this one chance to back out now but he continued with the path he'd chosen. William leaned in to her, their lips close together. "I still love you Charity...You were my first love and my last...I've never met anyone I've f..f..felt like this about. I haven't e..e..even dated since I...I..I met you..."

Charity felt ready to die. She wanted to cry under the table or scream and shout... or perhaps both. How do you respond to that? She was not ready for this. She wasn't ready for her new life to fall all around her. Was it supposed to feel like this? That the floor had dropped out ffrom beneath her and she was falling fast. She wished he didn't have such a hold on her emotions. She always felt like she was stuck on an emotional rollercoaster around him.
Charity brought her lips eagerly to his. She couldn't resist it, she didn't want to. Her fingers curled in the hair at the nape of his neck as they always had. Her body remembered him, remembered the rush that being this close to him sent through her body, no matter how much she wished it didn't. Charity pulled away, still clingy to him, her eyes closed and their lips hovering inches a part.
"William, we can't do this. It won't end..." Charity broke off, kissing him again, "well. It never ends well with us. We can't..." Charity kissed him again, her face suddenly wet as a lone tear slid down her face.

William kissed her deeply. He didn't want her to leave again, his hands balled holding her cl0thes tightly. He listened to her and he couldn't answer his lips being unable to move under her barrage of kisses. When he was finally able to speak he did. "W..W..We're older n..n..now Char, we can really make a ..g..g..go of it now..."
William wanted them to actually try and make this work. Last time it wasn't to be but times change right? Maybe they could actually be together this time obviously it might be difficult at first, having to get to know eachother again and figure things out with the years that had passed and how much had changed. "We've had a hard t..t..time t..t..together but I heard a saying r..r...r...recently. It always rains hardest on the p..p..people who deserve the s..s..sun and you do Charity...You deserve the sun."

Charity pulled back, falling into the wall to keep her balance as she shook her head. Charity trained her eyes to the floor as she thought about it. The more she thought, the more she convinced herself this was a wrong idea. She was a teacher, a mother and stuck between Voldemort and Dumbledore yet again. She didn't have time to be caught up in this messy relationship again. She doubted she could take it emotionally. She doubted she could handle it anyway.
"William, just because we're older doesn't mean that this will work. If anything, it would fail even worse. I don't have time for this, us, anything. You have to understand that. We ran through this in grade school. I failed then too. I'll fail now too. The best I could offer is a one night stand... You know that, William. It's only ever been like that."

William just stopped,he remembered the last time this happened. The time she tore out his heart and ripped it to shreds and it was happening again. She had a power over him, no matter how much she hurt him with each word he still loved her and he knew deep down that she felt something for him too. She had to because he wasn't sure what he'd do if she didn't. He knew that she just didn't let herself be happy. He would of proposed to her, they would of gotten married, they would of had children if she'd just let herself be happy but she couldn't seem to do it.
He let her words sink in for a minute. His form silent and immovable. His breathing got slightly deeper and his heart began beating faster. He had truly wasted his thoughts and his time. He could of met another girl in one of the many towns he'd passed but he didn't. He didn't even talk to others. He just felt so angry at her. She didn't seem to understand his feelings for her.
Will approached her and held back the obvious tears in his eyes. He slid his hand in hers and just held her for a second."I'm always going to love you Charity." William rested his head to hers and a faint sad smile passed over his lips.

Charity wiped at a stray tear before she brought her arms around William's back, pressing them closer together. The closeness that would eat her alive. It would consume her, chew her up and then spit her out again with no care in the world. This always happened to her. She never deserved it. Or perhaps she enjoyed torturing herself. It would serve her right for all the many things she done to many people in her life. She always hurt everyone in her life no matter what she did. Sometimes... it felt like that was the only way to live. Hurting everyone.
Charity pressed her face into William's shoulder, knowing that she was soaking his shirt with the tears that wouldn't stop. She willed them too but it seemed as if the tears she had held in for years were not going to stop.
"Why... why'd you let me do it... You just let me leave." Charity's voice didn't rise above a whisper, cracking more often then staying steady. "You didn't ask, you didn't beg-" Charity's fist pumped uselessly against William's hard chest. "Dammit, you didn't fight, or yell, or scream. If you had ordered me to or demanded that I stayed, I would've. Dammit, William, we could've had it all. We could've had a damn family together." Charity tried to open her eyes but they were blurred from tears. The years of sadness and loneliness threatened to consume and break every part of her body.

William held her in his arms as she cried into his shoulder, a small trickle of tears traveled down his face. "Because..I...I..I was scared Charity. One of the m..m..many reasons I didn't was, I was scared. I was s..s..scared of you. Y..You made me feel things, things I've never felt since and never want to feel again. You m..m..made me feel love and heart-break and I was scared that y..y..you'd break my heart again...I..I..I was scared that you'd leave me and I couldn't face that. I thought it was best if I just let you go...."
William tried to explain what was in his heart and that was the best he could do. "B..But I couldn't let you go from my thoughts, you invaded my dreams...You were part of my nightmares and I love you Charity..." William just hoped he could articulate his feelings to her. He thought he was being too poetic and not literal enough and so he just said it.
"I want you back Charity..."
