"Hermione, come with me I want to show you something." Cedric whispered to his girlfriend.
"Alright, but you do realise it id three-thirty in the morning right Ced?" Hermione mumbled as Cedric lifted her out of the bed.
"I know love, I know." Cedric whispered, stroking Hermione's hair. When the pair reached the Black Lake Cedric sat down underneath 'Their Tree' Hermione in his lap.
"Mione, you've heard of shape-shifters right. Werewolves?" Cedric murmered holding Hermione tighter.
"Yeah, I studied them in Transfigureation last year, why?" Hermione replied, suddenly alarmed.
"Mione, I'm a shape-shifter, a werewolf." Cedric murmered again as he stiffened, dropping his arms in case Hermione ran.
"W-what?" Hermione squeeked back her form also stiffening.
"I know you heard me 'Mione, now I won't take it personally if you run from me. I just want you to know that you are the one I'm ment to be with, my mate." Hermione relaxed, a smile forming on her lips.
"I want to see." Hermione giggled, her head tilting back so she could see his eyes. A look of shock was plastered on Cedric's face.
"You're not afraid of me? You're not going to run screaming? You want to see me as a wolf?" The questions spilled from Cedric's lips as he looked down at the woman in his arms in awe.
"No, no, yes." Cedric chuckled at Hermione's lack of explaination. He was still stunned at Hermione's lack of fear.
"Why?" Was the simple question that was asked. Yet Hermione knew exactly what her love ment.
"Because I've faced Death Eaters, real werewolves, a phsyco named Bellatrix Lestrange, and the Dark Lord. I think I can handle you." Hermione laughed even though the things that she said stunned Cedric once again.
"The Dark Lord, oh my God 'Mione!"
"Its alright, I'm fine see." Hermione comforted, motioning to her flawless figure."now can I see?"
"Alright, but stay right here, if anything happened to you, God 'Mione if-" Cedric was cut off by Hermione's lips on his.
"Nothing will happen, promise." Cedric got up and ran into the Dark Forest. Moments later a gorgeous grey and white wolf with chocolate eyes walked up to Hermione and whimpered.
"Oh my God, you're gorgeous!" Hermione choked on the exclaimed whisper. The wolf whimpered again. "Cedric, oh God!" Hermione flung her arms around the wolf's neck.
"Hermione! What are you doing!? That thing could kill you!" Ron's voice echoed across the grounds. Harry and Ron ran up to Hermione, intending to drag her away from Cedric.
"He will not hurt me Ronald!" Hermione whispered in a fierce tone. Suddenly two snarles came from the wood. The four spun around to see two black wolves emerge from the forest. A look of panic and rage entered Cedric's wolf eyes. He spun around again and started to nudge Hermione in the stomache, pushing her back towards the tree.
"He wants us to climb the tree!" Hermione whispered to Ron and Harry as she looked into her wolf's eyes. She started to climb after a low bark came from Cedric, Harry and Ron following. As soon as the three were safely in the tree, Cedric bolted towards the two wolves. As soon as he was close enough, Cedric clamped his jaws down on one of the wolf's jugular. He killed the wolf imedeantly.
"Bloody hell! He killed that wolf!" Ron exclaimed quietly, looking over at Hermione.
"He's protecting me, he loves me." Hermione whispered, tears falling down her cheeks as she watched her Cedric fight the second wolf. As the second wolf fell dead, Cedric stood panting before collapsing himself.
"No!" Hermione screamed as she jumped from the tree, her ankles giving out on the impact. Hermione scrambled to her feet, racing over to her wolf.
