Okay the disclaimer I own nothing all praise goes to the one and only JR Rowling who's characters I've borrowed.

Chapter 1

Voldermort had been defeated the whole of the World were celebrating. The Gryffindor common room was no exception. The celebrations had not stopped since Harry's discharge from the hospital wing. Hermione watched from the bay window as Ron, Seamus, Dean and Neville sang the muggle song " We are the Champions", in an extremely drunken state (as an unknown source had supplied them with some Ogdens finest firewiskey). Laughing Hermione scanned the room for Harry. Hermione searched for him until her eyes fell upon him in a rather inter-mate embrace with Ginny. Hermione felt as though her heart had been ripped out and stamped on. Ginny knew about her feelings for Harry but still she went after him.
Hermione began to fell extremely claustrophobic at that moment she had to get out of the common room. With minimal difficulty Hermione fled the common room before any unshed tears fell. Once outside the Gryffindor common room ran outside the Hogwarts grounds passing an unsuspecting Professor. Hermione sat on a rock on the edge of the lake crying for a love that would never happen know.

While Hermione sat she failed to notice the man approaching her. "Hermione" slightly startled she looked up "Pro..Professor Lupin". She said catching her breath. "Now Hermione how many times you can call me Remus out of class". "Sorry". "Don't be why are you crying?" Remus said stooping to her level to look at her in the eyes. "Its nothing really just stupid know it all Hermione, cause who could possibly like me? What have I got to offer? I have got brains but that does not seem enough for boys like Ron and Harry, they go for looks, to them I am an ugly train wreak". Having run out of steam from her emotional rant Hermione burst into fresh tears.

Remus was stricken to see how hurt Hermione was, (part of him wanted to march up to the Gryffindor common room to find out what Harry or Ron did to upset her) the last time she cried like this was when her parents were killed. Fighting his emotions Remus pulled Hermione into a caring hug and held her till she calmed down. " Come on Hermione lets go to my office and have a nice calming cup of tea cause it looks like it's about to rain". Hermione at this gave a weak smile as she stood to follow him back to the castle.

(Remus's Office)

When poured two cups of tea they sat in silence until Hermione spoke " I am sorry for going on earlier it's just with Voldermort, my parents and leaving my 2nd home tomorrow for good it's all become too much". Remus shifted next to Hermione taking her hands into his, "Hermione you have nothing to be sorry for and about what you said earlier your wrong you are a beautiful and being brainy is a bonus and if Harry and Ron fail to see this then they are fools. What I see is a beautiful mature women who will have men falling at her feet". As Remus finished his talk his eyes met Hermione's. Before he could stop there lips met in a chaste kiss which became increasingly passionate, Remus leaned in to deepen the kiss as Hermiones hands slipped around his waste. Soon Remus was nibbling Hermiones bottom lip as if begging for entrance, which she happily obliged. His tongue swam inside her mouth feeling along the ridge of her back teeth his hands lightly cupped her breasts causing her to moan in delight into his mouth he soundly responded by thrusting his throbbing member onto her clothed hips. As the passion increased the need to have more physical contact did too. Hermiones hand brushed Remus groin it seemed to jerk him back to his sense.
Remus began to pull away from Hermione, " Hermione.. we shouldn't be doing this" he panted in an attempt to gain some self control. "Remus its okay" Hermione said as she kissed him again. Remus pulled completely away from Hermione and walked to the window not looking at Hermione. " No its not okay I am your teacher and friend but most importantly of all I am a werewolf!" " is that why you pulled away because you're a werewolf ? now you listen to you are not a savage beast with a cold heart, your Remus a loving and caring man who deserves love and happiness your furry problem occurs 3 days a month, don't let it rule your heart, you deserve to be loved." Remus sighed, "but Hermione, who would love me?" Hermione turned Remus to face her so that she could meet his eyes, "I love you"
"p.p.pardon" Remus stuttered,
"I said I love you" and with this Hermione leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. Remus reacted to this by pulling Hermione to him, once again their embrace became extremely passionate. Hermione moaned ad Remus began to trail kisses down her neck, "oh god Remus" she moaned. Pleased with the reaction he had caused, Remus began to trail kisses down the other side of Hermione's neck, and in response to this Hermione began to run her left leg up Remus' leg. This simple movement caused Remus to lose any final self-control that he retained as he picked her up and carried her into his room, any ideas of nobleness gone forever…
