The Borrow had never sounded so alive, what a strange feeling for Remus, as he sat at the counter on a stool. With his eyes on his friends and his nose on the delicious smell of bacon and toast in the air, his tummy growled like the hungry wolf it was. The twins had already come and gone, stealing their food away to their rooms, no doubt to work on their newest inventions. Mrs. Weasley eyed the upstairs darkly with every loud pop and crackle.

Harry was the first of the three to appear in the kitchen, yawning loudly he sat down. The next few minutes he was dotted over by Mrs. Weasley until Mr. Weasley finally shooed her away.

"Harry, dear! You're a small boy; you really ought to let me fatten you up a bit." Mr. Weasley made a face they all laughed at as he pointed at his own self.

"Don't listen to her Harry…… you'll never lose it once you get it!" Harry laughed as he pushed back his crazy bed head hair.

"I'll trust you Mr. Weasley."

Mr. Weasley looked over to Remus then.

"Bloody lucky Dumbledore decided this summer you should stay with us Remus, an able wand in these dark times is more valuable than a sock full of galleons!" The werewolf nodded back and smiled. I would always come when needed Arthur, your family is my family to friend. If Dumbledore thinks I should be here then I believe him." They all cheered him until they made their way to the next topic.

Remus drowned them out as he smelled a soft candy smell start to mingle with the smell of his coming breakfast, so soft at first until finally he could distinguished it clearly from the rest of the persons in the room. It reminded him of the sweet smell of cotton candy, and sweet tarts at once. He could hear hushed voices in the next room and was straining to hear what they were saying. Next he knew, Ron came in followed closely by Hermione. He tried to catch her eye but she kept her head down and sat quickly. She grabbed some toast and took a bite, she had her hair pulled back in a bun on top of her head and she wore faded jeans and a big comfy sweater. She said hi to everyone and when she finally caught his questioning glance she graced him with the smallest of smiles.

Later that evening the sun had dimmed slightly, and a soft drizzle had started outside. The children were out playing quidditch, Harry and Ron passed the ball back and forth, even Ginny and the twins were up on their brooms. Remus himself had never been one for quidditch… that had been James and Sirius's game. His had been learning. When he looked closer he realized that Hermione wasn't there. He some time's marveled at how much they were alike….he hadn't thought of it much until recently, when he had nothing else to do but to think. He went to stand, for some reason it really bothered him that he didn't know where she was, was she with Mrs. Weasley? But, as he stood his pants leg caught on the edge of his chair and he stumbled…. He growled under his breath.

"Oh that's so scary….." He paled and turned around fast, there in the door way was Hermione. She giggled softly as she pushed the door open further and stepped in. Remus sat back down and smirked….wanting to hide his clumsiness.

"I assure you Miss Granger it was supposed to be." She laughed again; he decided then that he LIKED making her laugh. Such a beautiful sound when all around the world was filled with screams. He patted the chair beside his window seat and invited her over.

"Why aren't you down with the others Hermione? What brings you to this weary part of the house?" She made her way over to him, parting the dust that had risen from the cushion. He caught his breath, just then the sun had shed its final rays before some cloud had hidden her again…..the dust had caught the rays and framed the small woman in a halo. An angel's halo, how fitting for her…. He thought. She sat down and her feet didn't touch the ground, she shrugged her shoulders.

"I just wanted to come in and start on some homework." She fidgeted with the hem of her t-shirt. Remus sighed and hesitated before he reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Lair." He accused. She smiled and finally looked directly at him.

"Just a little." She shrugged again and leaned back on the window siding.

"So what did you want me for young lady?" She looked out the window before she spoke again.
