Hey Guys! Here's my new chapter. Hope you like it! And Emberlyn Silvermoon, yes, they are in their third year. I thought it would make the whole student/teacher relationship sooo much more dangerous. Have also decided to use double spaces between paragraphs.

Chapter 2-Lustful Longing and a heated argument

Hermione reached the Girls bathroom and broke into floods of tears. It felt so wrong

to follow him, yet she couldn't stop herself. She sat on the toilet seat and thought

about her life. She could probably slit her wrists and no-one would notice. If she

walked out of the school that very minute, no-one would realise she was gone.

No sooner had she choked back her tears that the bathroom door opened and Ginny

came in. She knocked on each of the doors in turn until she found Hermione. Ginny had

noticed Hermione leave follow Professor Lupin out of the classroom and watched her go

into the loos. She had waited outside for as long as possible, but she needed to speak

to Hermione. Something was wrong, and she needed to find out what!

She saw Hermione's tear-stained face and automatically put her arm around her.

"Don't listen to Malfoy; he doesn't know what he's saying!" she reassured her, but

Hermione's wasn't falling for it. She knew that Malfoy was right. Ron had fancied her

forever and everyone knew it. She realised it was time to tell Ginny the truth. After

all, she was practically her best friend.

"Ginny," she started, "I have to tell you something and it's not easy!" Ginny's face fell.

"Stop it you're scaring me!!" Her face became a pale shade of white.

"Y'know a few weeks ago when I couldn't tell you who I fancied 'cos it was a really big

deal? The truth is, that person's a teacher. It's Professor Lupin." She finished and



burst into fresh floods of tears. Ginny was clueless about what to say to the

heartbroken girl beside her, so she reached forwards to give her a hug.

'What was Ginny doing,' she thought. 'I just told her I like someone else. Why is she

trying to kiss me?!' Before Hermione realised what she was doing, she had whipped her

hand from her side and struck it hard across Ginny's Cheek. The blow turned Ginny's

face red, and Hermione walked away, leaving Ginny shocked behind her. The bathroom

door slammed shut and she made her way upstairs to the common room.

Hermione arrived in the common room, tears streaming down her heart-shaped face.

Ron saw her enter and walked over to her. The tears were pouring fast now and

although Harry had reassured him, he knew something was obviously wrong.

"What's the matter? You've been strange all day!" he asked. Then Hermione lost it. She

flew at him, kicking and screaming.

"Can't anyone just leave me alone? Trust you to ask me if I'm okay. I am never going to

love you! Can't you get that through you're thick skull? Just stop chasing after me you

loser!" She saw Ron's badly beaten face and the ten's of pairs of eyes staring at her in

disgust, and ran upstairs to her dormitory.

She threw herself upon her bed. Was she so in love that she would scream at her best

friends? It just wasn't like her! All she could do was choke back one last tear and drift

into deep sleep!
