Dying- Chapter 2

Hey guys, thanks so much for the love on chapter 1 of this story. Thanks for the reviews, fave's and follows. Hope you enjoy chapter 2. Remember to please review!

Remus looked down at Hermione as she slept and smiled. He loved the young witch with all of his being and was angry that his time with her had been cut so short. He should have been honest with her long before the battle about his feelings and if she hadn't given the ultimatum he wasn't sure whether he would tell her then. Has it been a fear of rejection or was he scared of being accepted by her. Either way it didn't matter anymore as he continued to think back what had led them here.

Remus took after Greyback who had taken off after Hermione. As they darted up and down various staircases Greyback stopped as he took sight of Mooney's mate.

He turned over his shoulder. "I can see why you delight in her Mooney. Her scent is smells absolutely delicious. I can't wait to taste her." He said not taking his eyes off Remus as her smirked before showing his teeth, licking his lips and emitting a low growl. "Say goodbye to your mate Mooney." He said lowly as his whipped his head around and ran towards Hermione.

Remus yelled "NO! GREYBACK! HERMIONE! LOOK OUT."

Hermione quickly turned to see Greyback coming at her. She yelled "Stupefy." But Greyback had dodged it. Hermione kept throwing spells at him, stepping backwards each time she did, but he was fast as he kept advancing towards her.

"Remus I love you" She said softly as her breath became more pronounced as Greyback was mere metres away from her.

"I can't wait to taste you witch" He snarled as he motioned to move forward, but halted momentarily as he heard Remus's voice come from behind him.

"GREYBACK! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY WITCH!" Yelled Remus as he darted forward and tackled Greyback away from Hermione.

"REMUS!" Yelled Hermione as she watched the man she loved wrestle with Greyback.

"GO! RUN. NOW!" He yelled as his did his best to reach for his wand.

"You'll never defeat me you're a weak, pathetic excuse for a human and your witch will be mine." He snarled as they rolled down a seat of the stone steps both trying to bite each other as they did.

Remus heard Mooney come forth. "Pathetic excuse for a human. He's trying to claim you're witch. What are you going to do about it human or are you going to let me in control and fight." Said Mooney as he came forth and took over Remus's body and mind.

As Mooney took him over he bit deeply into Greyback causing him to yelp and jump back as he smiled sadistically and Remus.

"Ah so Mooney has come out to play has he? Is he going to defend the pathetic human host and his sweet mate?"

Remus snarled as he ran straight at Greyback spearing him into a nearby wall. Greyback grunted as he hit the wall hard.

"Is that all you have Mooney? Huh!" He yelled. "Pathetic wolf!" He yelled as he scratched Remus with his long claw like nails drawing blood.

Remus grabbed his head and slammed it repeatedly into the wall. He wasn't sure how long he had been doing it until he felt a soft, comforting hand on his arm. "Remus" Said Hermione softly as she tried to get his attention.

"I won't let him hurt you." Muttered Remus softly.

"Remus I'm safe. He can't hurt anyone anymore" She said as she looked down at dead or at least unconscious Greyback. Hermione pulled out her wand and whispered and binding and sticking spell. She watched as Greyback's arms were pinned to his side and he was finally bound. It reminded her of what she had done to Neville in their first year.

"It's alright." She said softly as he placed a kiss on his temple. "I'm here. I'm safe."

"I couldn't let him hurt you. I couldn't lose you again." He said softly as he turned to face her.

"You won't lose me." She said as she kissed him. "Can you walk?" She asked as she helped him up.

Remus nodded. "Yes, yes. I'm alright. Come on, the other are going to need help." He said as he used his other hand to pull himself up as they headed back into battle hand in hand.

After what felt like an eternity the battle was coming to an end. Neville had killed Nagini, much to everyone's surprise except Remus who always knew he had the courage and strength do it. He was a Gryffindor after all.

They were all gathered in the Great Hall as they mourned over their dead when a rogue female death eater entered the hall.

As the death eater mumbled a spell a bright shot of red came out of her wand and hit Remus square in the back causing him to drop to his knees. Hermione quickly pulled her wand out and rushed to him, pulling him into her body as Harry and the rest of the Weasley's moved into a protective stance around Remus and Hermione as a laugh came booming across the Great Hall.

"That half blood mutt killed my mate. Now it's time for that mudblood bitch to lose hers." Said yelled, cackling as she did.

Hermione stood up as Arthur held onto Remus and stepped forward. "What did you do to him?" She yelled.

The death eater cackled. "Something to make sure that you both suffer Mudblood!" She cackled as she disapparated.

Tears began to form in Hermione's eyes, but she knew she couldn't break down, she needed to be strong for Remus, she wiped the tears from her eyes and headed back to Remus who had turned ghostly white.

"It's going to be okay Remus, we're going to get you help you're going to be fine. I promise." She said as she held him tight not wanting to let go.
