Once Again Like Once Before| R.J.Lupin

Chapter two: Winnie

Composing herself, she reached out and grabbed the chocolate frog, twisting it back and forth to get a good look at it before she took a shy bite out of its head. Not bad, but not good. She thought to herself as she munched on the chocolate, though the pleasant feeling of calmness from the magic chocolate helped with its mediocre taste.

Once she finished off the frog, she ate the rest of her chosen treats, quickly deciding the hazelnut chocolate bar was, by far, her favorite, the spider pop coming in as a close second.

While the stuffed witch was cleaning up the small amount of trash that she had accumulated she realized that while she struggled with the pesky chocolate, she had missed a moving picture card that was in the lid of the packaging of the frog.

The young witch let a small smile take over her lips as she recognized the wizard that was awkwardly standing in the middle of the picture, the awkward wizard being Newt Scamander.

Winona was a big fan of the famous wizard, she had every single book that he ever wrote in almost every edition, it was mainly his books that she would read in her classroom while the muggles played with one another, his adventures filling a void in the young witch somehow. Whenever she felt especially alone, or whenever her parents would hurt her feelings, she would read one of his books, and somehow, all would be well again. And it didn't matter how many times she read his books, she could never get bored of his adventures nor of his magical beast friends, her favorites being Teddy the Niffler and his herd of Mooncalfs, the young witch liked them so much she wanted to own her own little niffler and a herd of Mooncalfs one day.

The smiling girl placed the card in her bag for safekeeping before she decided it was a good time to put her school robes on.

As young Winona sat down after she was done putting on her robes she let out a big yawn. Getting sleepy was an unfortunate side effect she always had whenever she had sweets. She let out another yawn before deciding that having a small nap before arriving at the school couldn't hurt. The young witch laid her blanket over herself and leaned her head against the window, allowing her tired eyes to finally rest.

Winona was woken up by loud chatter in her compartment.
She went to open her eyes to see who was in her compartment only to find that she couldn't.

She began to freak out before quickly realizing that she must have been in a dream (having experienced a dream like this before), so she relaxed to see how her dream would play out.

When her eyes finally opened they were immediately met with the most beautiful pair of green eyes she had ever seen. Winona felt herself blink a bit to clear the sleep from her eyes before her eyes met the face that belonged to the pair of eyes staring at her.
It was a boy, about thirteen or fourteen, he had wavy chestnut hair that ended just at his ears and had the prettiest face she had ever seen. Even though his face was littered with silvery scars, Winona didn't think the scars took any of his beauty away, in her humble opinion, they added even more beauty to his already perfect face.

The pretty boy offered a shy smile that made her heart race.

"Great job genius, you've woken her up with your creepy staring." Hissed another voice that was sitting next to the pretty boy.

Her eyes moved over towards the other voice and saw another boy, he looked to be around the same age as the pretty boy and looked eerily similar to Harry, the only difference being the difference in eye color and age. The first boy ignored the other one and continued to stare at Winona with his beautiful green gaze.

"We meet once again, Winnie," he said softly, offering her a warm smile.

"It appears we have, Lupin." Dream Winona said back, trying to contain a smile from taking over her face.

While dream Winona stares at the boy named Lupin, real Winona takes notice that dream her's voice sounds a bit older.

"Why so formal Winnie?" The boy, now known as Lupin asks her as he leans forward, getting in her personal space, not that she cares.

"I didn't know we were friends, Lupin." Dream Winona said while crossing her arms and turning to the window with her nose turned up, rolling her eyes.

"Are you serious? You're still mad that I said rabbit stew sounded good? That was like.. two months ago" He asked in an exasperated voice while scooching up his seat, furthering his pursuit into her space.

"No, I'm not Sirius, he is." Dream Winona mumbled while pointing her thumb to the person in the seat beside her, still facing towards the window, once again trying to contain a smile as groans sounded throughout the compartment.

The pretty boy huffed out air as he rolled his eyes, throwing his arms up while falling back into his seat.
"Not this again." He mumbled, shaking his head.

Real Winona heard snickers coming from the Harry look-alike and the person sitting next to her.

"It was a joke, Bunny, I didn't mean it." Lupin exasperated again, sitting up and leaning forward, getting back into her personal space once more.

"Didn't sound like one to me, Lupin." Dream Winona told him while using two fingers to push his head out of her personal space, and back into his seat, all while she was still facing the window, almost poking his eye because she wasn't looking.

Winona heard him let out a dramatic sigh before finally turning her head at the sound of him getting out of his seat.

Winona watched as he let out another loud, dramatic sigh before dropping to his knees on the floor before her, clasping his hands together as he shook them in a begging motion causing her eyes to widen at the sight.

He looked to the floor before looking up, meeting his mesmerizing green eyes to hers, furrowing his eyebrows while making his bottom lip tremble.

"Will you, Lorelei Winona Sage, forgive me, Remus John Lupin, for my horrific and appalling joke that I shall never utter again." He begged as he took one of her hands into his.

Dream Winona let out an equally dramatic sigh as she placed her free hand over her heart before saying, "If I must." she sighed and shook her head from side to side.

Winona watched as the boy slowly let go of her hand while barking out a laugh as he got off the floor and sat back down in his seat.

"All forgiven Winnie?" He asked while offering her a hand and smiling.

"All forgiven Fluffy." Dream Winona said while letting out a giggle and shaking his hand. He snatched his hand back while frowning at her words.

"Wake up." He said before his figure started to fade away.

A/N:
