Hermione suddenly sat up in her desk as Professor Lupin said her name. "Yes Remus I mean Professor Lupin?" Hermione mentally kicked herself as she realized that she had just called the Professor by his first name. Then she looked around the classroom and realized that everyone had left. "I was just wondering if you were planning on staying in here the whole day. Class has been out for five minutes." Hermione just sat there feeling like a complete idiot and couldn't think of what to say. Then she heard Lupin say, "Hermione are you okay?" she gave a quick nod and quickly gathered up her books and hurried out of the room. How could she explain that to him?? It wasn't every day that you talked to a professor on a first person basis. She wasn't even sure herself why she had said that, regardless of the fact that she was a 7th year student, she was still that just a student. Hermione was so embarrassed what would Professor Lupin think? Why she was even zoned out like that? The last thing she remembered was sitting down for class and thinking about what she was going to write her potions paper on. It was due next week and she had been really worried about it. But the strangest thing was she couldn't remember what she had been daydreaming about either. And why of all things had she called him Remus??
Professor Lupin watched as the slim 7th year walked out of his classroom. He could tell that she was flustered he just wasn't sure as to what that reason would be. If it would have been anyone besides Hermione Granger he would have thought it was a silly little crush. But Hermione was not one to let on to silly little urges. Although in some ways he wouldn't mind having a little bit of romance back in his life. But a student was not the cure for that problem. Besides he had made a pact with himself that he would never get involved with a woman, it wouldn't be fair to her to be in love with a werewolf.
