Chapter 2

Bill's POV:

I woke up to my wife kissing me. As I wiped the sleep from my eyes, I smiled, "Good morning dear."

She smiled and continued kissing me. "Good morning, love. Are you ready for breakfast?"

I smiled, "Yeah."

"What would you like?" She asked

"Anything." I answered.

She nodded, "Okay. It will be ready by the time you get out of the shower." She got up and headed downstairs.

I yawned and stretched. I got up and Fleur's owl came in through the window to deliver two newspapers. We had one for magical and one for muggle. Fleur was always intrigued by them; I smiled. My smile was wiped away when the headline to the muggle newspaper caught my attention. Teen Couple Claimed by Vicious Animal. My heart stopped. I picked it up and read through. They were out camping in a remote area when the animal got them. Investigators aren't yet to determine what kind of animal, they suspect a wolf. The animal's intent was clear. The couple is virtually unrecognizable and forensic science will have to be used in order to identify the victims. The attack happened between midnight and three a.m.

I threw the paper to the side. I was livid. I had a pretty good idea it wasn't an animal, but Hermione. If history is repeating itself, she is trying to frame me. When I turn into my wolf form, I will be hunted.

I decided to not dwell on it for now. I would take my shower and spend the day tracking her to confront her.

I came down the stairs and greeted my wife. She made a face as she looked at me. "What is wrong, Bill? Are you feeling okay?" She asked.

I thought about it and realized that this was my way out. I didn't want her to know I was going to look for my cousin. I shook my head, "No, darling. I'm not feeling well. I'm thinking about calling in sick. I don't know. It just came on all of a sudden."

She gave me a worried look and I instantly felt guilty about it. I told myself this was the best way.

"Maybe I should call in as well. I can take care of you-"

"No!" I shouted too quickly. I smiled in reassurance when I saw that she had a look of fright. "I mean- I'm okay. No use in both of us calling in sick. It's not serious, plus, I wouldn't want you to catch it."

She pursued to gaze at me as if trying to figure something out. Finally she nodded, "All right. Whatever you want. Please be safe." She said stroking my hair and kissed my cheek and left. When I heard the front door close, I sighed. I hated lying to her.

When I was done getting ready, I set off and tried to track Hermione. It wasn't easy. Her scent seemed to be all over the place. It took me all day to track her but I did. It was now nearly eight o' clock. I would have to make this visit short if I were to beat Fleur home.

I walked into the bar and saw Hermione chatting with a woman. The woman had long black hair, tanned skin, slender figure. She was laughing at what Hermione said.

I strode over to Hermione and tapped her on the shoulder and she turned. "Oh, hey, cousin! I was wondering when you would show up."

I gritted my teeth; I couldn't really talk in front of the muggle. "Well, you didn't make it very easy for me." I managed with a smile.

Hermione laughed, "It's so much fun screwing with you. It was funny watching you zig-zag around town like a dog." I didn't miss the pun.

I smiled at the woman next to Hermione, "Please excuse us love. I have some business I need to talk over with my cousin."

The woman looked at the both of us and nodded. Hermione stared after her longingly and looked at me, "Oh now look what you did, Bill. You chased away my dinner. Now I have to start all over again with a new one. I can do it again, it's just a drag."

I became aggravated, "Hermione, I'm not in the mood. I have something I want to discuss with you." I sat down on a stool next to her.

Hermione raised her hands up in defense, "Hey, his wife wasn't treating her right, I did her a favor."

My eyebrows scrunched in confusion, "I'm talking about that young couple you fed on. They didn't deserve t die. No one does. You either feed on animals or I will be forced to deal with you- and who are you to talk about 'treating people right'?"

"Oh. First off, how do you know it was me? Maybe you turned into the big bad wolf and killed them yourself? Secondly, I'm a very sensitive woman. How can you say that to me? I can love." She said mockingly and putting her hand up to her chest.

I thought about it in horror for a moment and then realized something. "It couldn't have been me because it wasn't a full moon last night."

"So we are the only two that could have possibly have done it?" She asked incredulously.

I gave her a mocking smile, "I stopped by the morgue. I recognized your work."

Hermione smiled, "I'm flattered. Tell me, does Fleur know you howl at the moon?"

I knew what she was asking. She wanted to know if Fleur knew about me being a werewolf. "She doesn't have to know." I said

Hermione tsked, "Lying to your wife, Bill? Not a good move to a happy marriage."

"She hasn't known for the six years. I'm not sure how she would react." I mentally slapped myself. Why was I opening up to her?

Hermione nodded, "Maybe the next time there is a full moon and she finds you chained up, you can explain you wanted to try something new with your sex life."

I looked at her. I knew she was playing with me. "As I've said, don't kill anyone." I got up and turned, "And stop sleeping with other men's stranger wives." I said annoyed. I started to walk off.

"So, is your wife up for grabs? You're not a stranger to me." I heard from behind me. I whipped around and saw that she was gone.

I became nervous hoping that she wasn't on her way to Fleur. I ran out of the bar in full speed and raced home.

How was that?

In the next chapter, Fleur meets Hermione.
