Chapter 1

A loud cry from a baby woke him up from his slumber.

His baby's cry woke him up from his slumber, normally, if anyone woke him up from his sleep, they would perish, but this was his daughter, and he didn't mind that he woke her up. She was, after all, the only family he had left. He got off the bed and to the cradle that sat beside the bed. Picking up the small baby, he quickly silenced her cries and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. The sudden noises and screams outside of the huts automatically caused him to pull his daughter closer to his chest and growl softly. Silently, he opened the front door quickly and found his men and Aurors fighting against each other. Before he could enter his door again to safely hide his daughter inside, a spell hit him in the back and his world turned black.

Hermione sat up on her bed as she looked out of the window, it was still dark but she didn't mind, she was actually pretty used to it and wasn't surprised that she had woken up at all. The days counting down until the full moon grew shorter and shorter and she became more agitated as the day neared.

She could still remember the day when she realised that she was a werewolf.

Hermione [11 years old] sat in front of Dumbledore's desk in an overly sized school robe. She had been discovered naked in the forbidden forest by Hagrid, and Dumbledore explained the situation to her.

She was born a werewolf apparently, and wasn't biologically related to the Grangers. Normally, those that were born with lycanthropy would begin to transform at every full moon at the age of 5. However, a strong spell had been placed upon her at birth, preventing her from transforming during a full moon until she arrived at Hogwarts.

Hermione remembered being terrified when she found out about her condition that day, and what she would have to go through every month.

She planned on going home from Christmas, even with her condition as her parents already planned on her arriving, due to this, Dumbledore accompanied her for the day to help explain the situation to her 'parents'. She found out that she had been left by their doorstep, with no explanation and they decided to take her in, since they themselves, wanted children but couldn't have any.

Hermione cried on her mum's shoulder as Dumbledore and her father continued to talk. Things looked like they were well, that they accepted her condition, but she was wrong, oh so wrong.

Her parents accepted her as much as they could, and raised her as if she was theirs, but she could see the fear in their eyes, and the relief they felt whenever Professor Snape would take her away for a couple of days before and after the full moon to stay at Hogwarts [during the holidays]. Her parents rarely talked to her any more and would try and avoiding entering her room whenever they could. She knew that they feared her, and wanted her gone. For that, she couldn't really blame them; she just didn't like that they wouldn't tell her upfront and that pissed her off the most.

So here Hermione was now, currently at Hogwarts, in the girl's dormitories during her third year, looking out of the window, examining the moon that grew closer to being whole as each day passed. There was five days left until the moon was full and her nerves were on overload, she could hardly concentrate in class for more than five minutes, and she barely ate at the Great Hall, instead having to sneak off to the kitchens every night for very rare meat. Of course Harry and Ron questioned her, but they never pushed her to answer them, and for that, she was thankful. Always having to use the time-turner to be able to get to all of her classes really stressed her out and it didn't help her nerves either. Thankfully though, this September, the full moon as near the end of the month, giving Hermione time to adjust back into the school life.

Hermione stared at the moon for an extra fifteen minutes before she realised that she wasn't going to fall asleep again anytime soon and so decided on walking around the castle to let time fly.

As Hermione explored the castle, she was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't realise Professor Lupin was in front of her, and so they ended up colliding against each other. At the sudden contact, a strong scent overtook Hermione's senses and her eyes flashed yellow as she realised there was another werewolf in her territory. She turned back to face Professor Lupin and bared her sharp canines at him. There's another werewolf in my territory! It's the Professor though! I can't do anything!

Lupin looked at Hermione in shock, he had walked through the corridors, distracted by the moon and the sudden collision with Hermione caused a sudden smell to fill his nostrils. It was a scent that he quickly realised to be one of another werewolf. Due to his experience, he was able to control the sudden emotions going through his body, unlike Hermione, who's eyes turned yellow and she barred her teeth at him.

"Miss Granger..." he said. Oh the poor girl... Who bit her?

Hermione growled at Lupin as he said her name.

"What happened? Who bit you?" Professor Lupin asked, trying to approach her, but she continued to growl dangerously.

"This is none of your concern pup, you're lucky you're a Professor, being in my territory is very dangerous." Hermione growled. Okay, calm down, this is the Professor, no need to go all wolf on him. She shook her head continuously until she finally regained her posture and she smiled awkwardly at Professor Lupin. "Sorry about that... It was just.. The sudden smell got too much, I couldn't control Axel soon enough."

"It's alright, but can I ask, who bit you?"

"Bit me sir? No, I was born like this." She watched Lupin frown and put a sad smile on. "Oh don't tell me you feel sorry sir, I actually don't mind it. It's the one time I feel free,"

"Free? Doesn't the wolf take over?"

"Sir, I am not in the best of moods at the moment, I hope you can relate. I need to go now." Before Lupin could even stop her, she turned around and explored the outside of Hogwarts instead, she still needed to clear her head and have a distraction, just because she ran into Lupin didn't mean she would go back to the Common Room.

The smell of the leaves that the wind carried as it blew past her calmed down her nerves a bit.

Professor Lupin is such an idiot to deny his wolf.

You sensed it too?

Axel, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. He's like the rest of society.

Don't worry, you'll find your mate soon enough.

What? You never mentioned anything about this!

And I won't for another while. Just be patient.

A/N- This is short I know, but it seems that my first few chapters of a new story are always short so just hang in there! 3
