A/N This is very A/U but I've been reading a lot of Remus/Hermione fics so I wanted to do my take on it. I'm aware this plot has been used on many occasions but I really don't care. I still haven't got a beta so if you'd like to take up the job send me a PM. This is kind of a prologue of sorts to see if anyone will read it, please carry on.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

I wake up covered in sweat trying to steady my breathing. That blasted dream, or rather nightmare, has woken me up again. If only it was just a nightmare it wouldn't be so bad but it's a constant reminder that Dora has walked out on me, not only me but our little Teddy as well. It's been 3 long months without Dora or any other human contact, with the exception of Teddy and Andromeda. Although Dora was Andromeda's she is angry at her for walking out.

I look over at my alarm clock it reads 7:45, I may as well be getting up. I go and take a quick shower then go back to my room to get dressed. I'm just about to walk down the stairs when 4 month old Teddy cries out. Walking into his room I see that he's stopped crying and is sitting there waiting for me. When he spots me he puts his arms out for me to grab him. If it weren't for little Teddy when Dora left me I would have lived in filth never eating, living a very sad life which I partly am. Andromeda has Teddy every Sunday so I can have time alone but all I do is read. I never clean the house, heck I barely ever leave the house unless we need more food or Teddy needs something.

"So little one should we get you some milk for breakfast?" I ask smiling and walking down the stairs towards the kitchen.

All I get is a gurgle in response. I make up his milk and give it to him while placing him in his high chair. I suppose I should start him on solids but I'm not sure, I have no experience with children least of all babies. I start drinking my coffee and eating my toast. Once I've finished I take Teddy upstairs and give him a bath when an owl flies in. I look at the envelope, Hermione's writing. She writes often to keep me up to date with things, she's still contemplating which career to go into and said that she values my opinion. It started with her career now it's everything. She still isn't with Ron - not that he hasn't tried she just doesn't feel like that about him. Her latest problem however is Mrs Weasley and her annoying habit of harassing Hermione, or 'Mione as I call her, about her lack of a boyfriend and that she won't accept Ron's offers for dates. Her latest letter reads:

Hello Remus,

You say you're fine and yes I should take your word for it but I get the feeling you are still caught up on Tonks but I'll stop there.

How's Teddy? The photo you sent last time is adorable it definitely made me smile so I put it on my dresser next to a photo of you, Harry, Ron And I. Speaking of Harry he called it quits with Ginny, I think it's for the best. Mrs Weasley is still on my case even though I'm only 18 and none of her children, except for Bill, are married engaged or with anyone. So I've decided to go away to see a friend whom I haven't seen in a while so I best be packing and I'll fill you in next time.

Love Always,

Mione.

"Teddy, it seems our Mione is finally taking a well deserved break."

As I finish dressing Teddy I hear a small knock on the door. I wonder who it could be as it's Wednesday so it can't be Annie. I open the door to a young woman clad in dark jeans, chuck taylors and a lilac blouse, she has sandy, curly, shoulder length hair and a wide smile.

"Mione! What a pleasant surprise!"

A/N I know it's short but it's only a prologue the other chapters will be a decent length. I'll only continue if I get reviews.
