Chapter 1
Hermione felt the bright sunlight on her and slowly opened her eyes, only to be met by the blue sky and tree branches. She had fallen asleep in the forest.
She sat up, stretched out, and let out a groan. It seemed like she had slept on some stupid rocks. She dusted them off and stood.
And then it hit her.
Her hands quickly went to the bite, only to realise it was gone. She would have doubted if yesterday had been real, but the blood on her sweater quickly affirmed so and also the big hole and teeth marks in her shirt.
The skin was smooth leaving no marks of what had occured. She knew what this meant.
She was one of them.
Hermione slowly made her way toward the castle, while picking out leaves and small branches from her hair. She kept pondering what might have happened after she passed out.
The bite had started heating up, causing her to go unconscious. She was surprised that nobody had come after her and even more that she had not transformed. Hermione shrugged unconsciously, maybe she had to wait till the next full moon.
After a long time walking, she finally arrived at the castle. She sneaked inside and stealthly walked as she did not want do draw unwanted attention to herself.
Hermione looked around and it seemed to be all clear. Deep down she knew she had gotten her hopes high, as Professor Dumbledore appeared out of nowhere; causing her to let out a rather embarrassing squeak.
Her cheeks reddened. But Professor Dumbledore paid no mind. He looked serious, all different from what she was used to see him like.
She approached him slowly, but before she could explain anything. He muttered a simple 'Please, Follow me, Miss Granger'' and then turned and walked toward the headmasters office
Hermione followed him silently. She supposed, that he already knew of the bite.
One of them.
On her way she could not stop her panic about whether Professor Dumbledore would allow her to continue at Hogwarts. She supposed that people might know a little bit about Professor Lupin's secret, and that he might be staying here for long, but what about her?
Would they force her to leave?
They arrived at the office and to Hermione's surprise it was empty.
Dumbledore motioned for her to sit down, and so she did. She had thought, that maybe the other-
She didn't get to finish her thoughts before Professor Snape, Lupin and Mcgonagall walked in. She shot Professor Lupin a curious look and immediately knew he felt terrible, and was probably ashamed for what he had done.
By the look Minerva shot her, it clear that her favorite Professor was worried, that her star student would somehow not be able to continue. It did not help her already forming anxiousness.
They all turned to Professor Dumbledore, the man who had the power, to either throw her out, or let her stay.
AN: Suck attempt, for making a cliff-hanger but whatever, tell me what YOU think might happen, will Hermione continue, or would she be forced to join a pack? And finish her education with them, and view them as her new family?
