Disclaimer: I do not own the characters. They belong to J.K Rowling, all I came up with was the story line.
I will only write this once but its implied for all chapters.
The trio is in their seventh year, the war is over and Harry has defeated Voldieshorts. Hogwarts was closed for a year and the trio have come back with the rest of the students to finish up. Sirius returned from behind the veil as if nothing has happened and now he and Lupin (who is not dead or married to Tonks) are teaching at Hogwarts. This story does not follow DH so if your looking for something like that you should probably read this anyway =) I don't know how long its going to be but I'm not publishing it till i have completed the whole story as i have a very short attention span.
Prologue
How did Hermione get here, this wasn't something she would do, she was head girl and Harry Potters best friend, she had fought along side him in the war, she was not a bad person, but still she found herself sneaking around the castle at four in the morning.
Hermione had begun to see a man, a man that she probably should not have started a relationship with but against her better judgement she had and now she was in her own messed up little triangle.
When it had started it had all been a lot of fun, and it was all completely permitted that was until she returned to Hogwarts and he came too, as her professor. They had decided not to continue their relationship while she was still a student and that they would wait till the following summer after she graduated, but relationships were never that easy.
************************************
August 6th
Hermione was sitting in the small library of 12 Grimmauld Place, her lover was sitting in the chair opposite her as they both reading from their books in comfortable silence. Hermione looked up when she heard a tapping at the window, her lover got up to let in the persistent owl. It held out its leg and he took the letter that was addressed to him off it. He then took a small treat from his pocket and gave it to the owl before it swooped back out of the window.
Sitting back down in his armchair he opened the letter, Hermione watched him with mild curiosity but didn't ask who it was from. He looked up and gave her a smile, "Albus needs me to come back and teach for him. He hasn't got anybody to teach arithmancy yet."
"That's wonderful, at least now I won't be so far away from you for so long."
"Hermione… darling if I go back to Hogwarts as a professor our relationship can not exist."
"Oh, I'd never thought of that." She replied sombrely.
"You should accept it," she then said.
"But what about us?" he asked.
"We would have had to put our relationship on hold anyway, I will be head girl and as head girl I'm not able to come home for holidays as I'm needed at the castle, so I wouldn't see you at all until the end of the year."
"I guess you are right."
"And now Sirius is teaching defence against the dark arts, the house will be lonely and you will be close to everyone if you take the job." She finished.
"Hermione you are a very talented and smart girl, have I told you that recently?" he asked as he stood up and pulled her into his arms.
"Only about one hundred times Remus… but I don't think its sinking in." she giggled as he pulled her closer and kissed her deeply.
************************************
And so Hermione returned to Hogwarts with Remus but they had put their relationship on hold, Hermione had taken Arithmancy as her special subject that year so she would be seeing a lot of him, which she didn't mind.
Everything seemed to be going fine until a surprising turn of events lead her closer to a man that she would never have considered before. Hermione soon found herself at the top of a triangle, not able to decide which way to go.
