Chapter Three - Rendezvous

Dusky sunlight filtered into the Defence against the Dark Arts classroom , which lay empty.

It gave the room an ethereal and warm atmosphere , and that is what first struck Hermione as she walked,laden with books,into the room.

xx No sign of Lupin yet.. xx

Hermione caught a glimpse of her reflection in a mirror , and decided upon removing her cloak , folding it in a very Hermione-like way onto the table.

Lupin stood at the top of the stairs into his quarters,surveying Hermione.

xx Be good now, moony . She's a top student . Very motivated. Needs your help ... xx

"Miss Granger , always on time , shall we get started? "

Remus strolled down the stairs , towards his own desk.

" Yes please, professor Lupin "

Something in the way she said that seemingly innocent sentence made Lupin glance up at her from under his furrowed brows. Hermione was sitting , legs crossed , behind a desk facing him , immersed in a book .

xx Hermione Granger...What the hell are you doing...Is he looking at me ..? Be good for Merlins sake! xx

"Right so , you know I said we wouldn't be studying this section because it won't be coming up in N.E.W.T level , though -" Remus' eyes sparkled -" It is good to know just how to defend yourself from particularly strong Love and lust curses ..."

He sat on the desk in front of Hermione and smoothed out his robes , Explaining to a frantically writing Hermione , just how a wizard could protect themselves and learn how to recognise when such a spell was cast.

"Sir, how would you cast such a spell , or would it be a

potion ? "

"Both really . Hmm..You're not thinking of casting such a spell are you now Hermione?"

Remus was smiling ever so slightly.

Being a werewolf had its advantages. Remus could smell emotions . Fear , excitement , sadness , hapiness...and much much more .

His nose could pick up her delicate scent , and his ears now could hear her heartbeat , which was quickening.

Hermione rose from the chair she was sitting in , walked around the desk , just a little closer to her professor .

"Oh no , i wouldn't force someone to lust after me "

Remus took a little breath xx You wouldn't need to force anyone .. xx

"Of course not . Made for desperados , really "

"Like Professor Snape "

The two burst out laughing , both imagining Snape shoving a vial of potion down some poor girls neck .

Then the other image struck them.

Snape in bed with a girl.

They both went queit , looked at eachother and burst out laughing again .

They never noticed Dumbledore standing in the doorway behind them .

Dumbledore came upto Remus' Classroom , and heard one sentence ,his hearing being quite excellent.

"You're not thinking of casting such a spell are you now Hermione? "

A few seconds ..then,

"Oh no I wouldn't force someone to lust after me "

He heard the rest of the conversation and laughed himself.

xx Well , well , well...just look at that ... I shall be keeping my eyes open xx

Dumbledore chuckled to himself , and walked off down the hallway.

Hermione was strolling back to the gryffindor Common room , quite dazedly , with a little smile on her lips , half-scolding herself , half-not caring .

She couldn't fight the growing infatuation anymore , but she would certainly keep it to herself .

Hermione felt an almighty thud and next of all landed on her butt on the ground , books everywhere.She looked up into none other than the cold grey eyes of Draco Malfoy .

"Look who it is ..Mudblood Granger.."

Hermione was beyond caring about his petty little insults .

She stood up ,dusted herself off , and brought herself to her full height .

"What do you want? Nothing? Good , ferretface, now move your worthless ass out of my way or ill move it for you "

She took out her wand , and Malfoy eyed it.

"What are you doing out at this time ? Library ?"

"Mind your nose , Malfoy. "

Hermione got her books and left .

Malfoy remembered how dazedly happy she looked before he 'accidentaly ' bumped into her ... xx What was Granger upto? I'll be keeping my eyes open... xx
