A/N: This is for Liza (NeonDomino) for winning 2nd in the OTP AU comp.! Sorry it took so long! This will be three drabbles, for each time he fell in love with Hermione. Once in his past, and twice in his present. I'm still new to writing this particular pairing so I hope you enjoy it! :)

Prompts: Present.; Drabble Club: prompt: 'Am I interrupting anything?'

N: Hermione is of age as this takes place after the War! Sirius did not die and the meeting they're talking about is one of the new Order they made after the War. Hope that clears everything.

"Remus," Hermione began, her voice pleading and tired. "How many times do I have to tell you?"

Remus sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose with his fingers. He looked helplessly at Hermione who stood her ground. What was it about her stubborn tendency? "You don't need to tell me any more times. I stick to what I said."

Hermione huffed, crossing her arms. "That's ridiculous! I don't care about any of your so called reasons!"

Remus shot Hermione an irritated look and pointed towards the door. "This is wrong, Miss Granger. I've said it before but somehow it won't process as a fact in your mind. I'm much too old for you. I'm much too poor for you. I'm a werewolf, can't you see? A werewolf!"

Hermione walked straight up to Remus, raising a brow. She touched his chest with her right hand. "You're not that old, Remus, from what I can feel you're actually quite fit. Money isn't everything and honestly, I don't give a damn about your furry little problem." She smiled softly, ignoring Remus' stutters of protest. "I love you, Remus John Lupin, can't you see?"

Remus opened his mouth and closed it again. Hermione was . . . well, he couldn't quite explain Hermione. He just knew it was wrong. Hermione laughed quietly, shaking her head, taking her hand off his chest. Remus felt an odd feeling of disappointment when she did.

"Order meeting," she said, pointing to the clock. She sighed and backed a few steps up when the door pulled opened. Sirius walked in, narrowing his eyes at the scene. "Hello Sirius."

Sirius nodded hesitantly, his eyes flicking to Remus' and Hermione's face. "Order meeting, Rem. Am I interrupting anything?"

Hermione took that as her cue to leave and waved goodbye before exiting the room. Sirius immediately spun on Remus. "What have done?"

Remus looked taken aback. "I haven't done anything!"

Sirius grinned, wagging his finger in Remus' face. "Moony, you bad boy! You've stolen Hermione's heart, that's what you did!"

Remus frowned, pushing Sirius' hand away. It wasn't his fault, not really. He sighed, heading towards the door. "She does like me, but she's probably only confused. I keep telling her that I'm too old and poor to be with her. Plus, you know might what happen if we have children."

Sirius' eyes widened then he glanced at the clock. "I think it's alright if you miss one meeting. Actually, stay right here! I'll be right back!" Sirius rushed out of the room, leaving Remus stunned.

He sat down on his bed, contemplating Hermione's response. How could she not care? It was all he could think about! Hermione deserved better than him.

"Remus!" Hermione called, rushing inside the room. She marched all the way up to him and surprisingly, wrapped her arms around him. Remus was stunned. "I knew it! Sirius confirmed it!"

Remus gently pulled Hermione back. "Confirmed what?"

"You didn't say you didn't like me." She grinned. "That's not the problem, is it?"

Remus' face flushed. Did he not? "Um, well-"

"I love you. Do you?"

Remus looked into Hermione's warm brown eyes, her radiating with hope. Remus gulped nervously as her eyes looked straight into his amber ones. The words spilled out before he had a chance to think things through, "I do. I love you."

Hermione smiled and leaned forward. Remus met her lips with his. Why hadn't he realized he his feelings before? He was in love with Hermione Granger.
