AN: This is Ron/Remus per slash! If you don't like slash please don't read. I am not the queen, JK, so I get nothing from writing this. She owns Harry Potter and his entire world.

"Hermione, what are you doing down here?" came Ron's voice from the back of the cellar of 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Looking for Crookshanks."

"Well, go away!"

"Why should I, Ronald?"

"'Cause I said so."

"No, I need to find Crookshanks. I hate to think what could happen to him if he got lost in this horrid place. Just because you're angry with me for breaking up with you, doesn't give you the right to tell me what I can and can't do!"

"This has nothing to do with that! I could really care less that you broke up with me. It's been months since then. Just go away and leave me alone."

"No! I can be down here…." She stopped speaking when the door at the top of the stairs creaked.

"Hello? What's going on down here?" asked Remus Lupin from the stairs.

"Oh, nothing, Professor, just Ronald being a prat!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Hey, hey, what's the problem, Ron, Hermione?"

"'She won't go away."

"I have as much right to be down here as he does. And, he won't tell me why I have to."

"Well, why don't you tell me, Ron, and I can decide if Hermione needs to know."

"Er, I'd rather not."

"Well, too bad, Ronald, Professor Lupin will be glad to help. Thank you, Professor."

"DAMMIT! Does everybody have to know when I want a bloody WANK? First Harry won't leave the bloody room if I don't tell him why, so I come down to the cellar, then 'Mione wants to know why I'm down here, and then my bloody fantasy shows up, asking what I am doing. Well, I am TRYING to wank with the image of YOU in my head, PROFESSOR!" yelled Ron just before he stormed up the stairs and out of the cellar.

"Well, er, right. I'm going back to my room now, Hermione," said Lupin. As he left the room, the one thought on his mind was, 'Find Ron Weasley and make his bloody fantasy a reality, then maybe we can work on some on mine.'

AN: Thank you to my wonderful bata Beth! Without her all of you would be blind from the grammer and spelling mistakes.
