Hermione is bitten, but a letter from Dumbledore reveals the solution.

Hermione meets young Severus, pranks are planned, tension begins between the marauders, Lily and Hermione become friends, and classes begin.

“Sirius, what the hell was that about?!”

“I wish there was some way I could make it easier for you Hermione, but nothing I’ve ever done has helped ease the pain. There’s just a monster inside of you that literally crawls its way out.” 

“We were a bit late throwing this together though, eh?” James asked grinning.

“PERFECT!” shouted James, as several people from other tables looked their way and rolled their eyes. “We’ll make everyone...

“Hermione, love, you’re killing me here.”

“I didn’t think I said that out loud!”

What they saw however, left them all in the doorway, eyes wide and stunned 
motionless. 

“Tis the only way Moony, my man,” 

“That’s great, Gyps, completely Marauder worthy!” 

“As much as I love you Lils, you’re not who I want in my bed, sorry,”

He looked slightly angry at her and spat, “I’ll keep your secret if you keep mine, werewolf.” 

“Wow, this is very weird.” she said in a strained voice.

The Dark Lord has taken an interest in the Gryffindor Princesses and Potter’s gang. 
You should be careful.”
 
“THEY DID WHAT?!” the three shouted in unison, making Lily recoil.

“Yes, so I get to kill him when he gets back!” Sirius said angrily. “I said two feet apart! TWO FEET!”

"What the Dark Lord so desperately underestimates, will indeed be your ultimate power.” 

“You’d be right in that assumption, Black,” Severus said quietly. “I believe he now wants Hermione dead almost as much as Potter." 

“Trust? Me? Are you both mental? Do you know what I could do to you?”  

“What you two just did, is a form of Dark Magic."

“Severus made a potion and they took it. What’s not to get about that, Wormtail?"

He was stopped abruptly by Remus’ hand closing around his throat and throwing him to the ground. 

“Get out of my head, old man, you wouldn’t like what you saw there!” 

“Hermione!” he said shocked, putting his hand on his the cheek she had just slapped.

He turned to James and all but shouted, “I don’t hate him! He left me! He left me when I needed him most and I’m a bit angry, ok?!” as he pointed at Dumbledore, but looked at James.

“IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU!” 

Remus snapped back, “Sod off, Severus!”

“It’s hard to hate someone who saved you from yourself,” Snape replied quietly

Remus walked over and slapped Harry hard across the face.

NEWT week!  Incredible Defense Against the Dark Arts exam and a trick of Polyjuice Potion.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!

This is it folks!  This is the chapter you've all been waiting for!  The Remus and Hermione conclusion.  Will they try to be a couple or agree to go their seperate ways, or perhaps remain 'friends only'?  

MY Favorite chapter (well one of them) of the story!!

I think the title says it all---the Final Battle is about to begin.  Are they ready?  Are you ready?

On another note, aside from the Remus/Hermione bits, from now on, this is what I thought (or rather hoped actually) the end of Deathly Hallows would be more like.  Oh well!

The aftermath of the battle and Sirius has many emotional issues to deal with--his godson and his best friend were hit with the killing curse and his other best friend hasn't been seen.  Cry with Sirius during this chapter.

This is THE chapter that made me almost faint when I read DH---I patted myself on the back several times, although I must say, I rather like my version better!  And it was completed (and posted) elsewhere, so you know I didn't cheat!

Last chapter before epilouge!

This is all there is...a very neat package of epilouge.  I rather prefer my epilouge to Rowlings because...Remus didn't die!!!
