I Dream About You
She was stunned. The stranger in front of her looked exactly like the man she had been dreaming of for the past... couple of years at least.
Longer even.
Stunned, she pushed the door wider, knowing she shouldn't allow a stranger into her home, but unable to turn him away. He knew her name and she was instantly overwhelmed by a feeling of calm in his presence.
"I know you," she started, taking in the look of surprise. Clearly he hadn't been expecting those words.
"You do," he confirmed, talking slowly as though he was thinking about what to say. "Do you know anything about me? About my friends, my life?"
'What kind of question was that?' She thought to herself.
"I'm... I'm sorry," she said. "I don't know... so, Mr Lupin, why are you here?"
Remus' smile widened. "I haven't told you my name yet. Well, I have a lot to tell you. First, your name isn't Jean, it's -"
"But I dream about you," she blurted out, before clapping a hand over her mouth and blushing deeply.
He paused for a moment and raised his eyebrows, smiling slightly. Some of her previous memories must be slipping through the memory charm that had been placed on her three years ago when the war ended. There had been a threat and Hermione agreed it was safer to go into hiding temporarily. Remus had been her Secret Keeper, and it was now time to bring her back into their world. He opened his mouth to begin speaking again.
"I mean... not adult dreams," she explained. "Not rude things... I just... you're there and I'm there..." She bit her lip. "Oh screw it." Before Remus knew what was happening, Hermione was in his arms, lips eagerly pressing against his.
He tried to pull back. "Hermione, I -"
"Jean," she muttered, covering his lips with hers again.
Review please :)
