A/N - I own nothing.

Thank you to all those that reviewed the previous chapters. Glad you're enjoying it :)


Remus didn't sleep that night, both him and Sirius ended up sitting up, listening for any sort of noise, even peeking into the bedroom a few times, until they realised Harry was wide awake too, as he was also too concerned to go to sleep.

A few hours later, Sirius left the library, where Remus was asleep in the chair, and started cooking breakfast for everyone, before knocking on the bedroom door, to alert the four that breakfast was ready, and that Hermione would need to get up.

Hermione got out of bed quickly, and headed into the bathroom with a towel and a robe. She jumped in the shower and washed, scrubbing at herself as hard as she did the night before, hoping to wash the memory of the Incubus from her skin.

When she got out, she found Ginny had grabbed her outfit from her room, and she got dressed as Ginny took a shower.

"Now, tell me!" Ginny demanded.

Hermione blushed again.

"You enjoyed it?" Ginnys tone was accusing, and she had a slight smile on her face.

"Well, he came towards me and he was just looking at me like he wanted me... which, he's an incubus, so clearly he did want me."

"and?"

"He started touching me, he..."

"Fingered you?"

Hermione nodded, biting her lip.

"And?"

"It felt good," Hermione admitted, with a whisper, "and he licked my neck, and when I looked back at him, he still looked handsome, but looked... I knew something was wrong, so I screamed."

Ginny could see the embarrassment on Hermione's face, as she admitted that it had felt good.

"Would you have stopped it, had it been a certain wolfy Professor?" Ginny asked, trying to get Hermione to forget about the Incubus, and instead, focus more on the man of her dreams.

Hermione shook her head. "I was dreaming about him again, before that thing appeared. When I woke up I thought it... I hoped it might have been Remus sneaking into my room."

"Didn't Remus look really hot in just his boxers? Who knew he had that body hidden under his clothes?" Ginny said, slyly.

"He did, didn't he?" Hermione grinned, biting her lip. "I knew he'd have an amazing body, but it was even better then I had imagined."

"Maybe you should ask Remus to share your room at Hogwarts?" Ginny teased, "you know to keep the Incubus away, and to keep you warm at night?" Hermione playfully shoved her. "Behave yourself Ginny," she replied, her cheeks flaming.

...~oOo~...

During breakfast, Remus noticed that Hermione's skin was red, and he wondered why. He glanced from her face and neck, to her arms, where the skin was rubbed raw. He looked at Ginny.

"Shower," Ginny mouthed, and Remus nodded slightly. Had Hermione really rubbed her skin red raw because of the touch? Of course she did, he corrected himself. It was a monster, it had no rights to touch her. Of course she was repulsed by it.

After breakfast, Hermione brought her trunk to the Library, and waved her wand. "Accio Incubus books," she tried, and about three books on the subject flew into her hand. She sighed, she had hoped there was more, but the rest were probably in other books with other supernatural creatures, so they might not have reacted to the spell.

She brought her trunk downstairs, leaving it by the door and went to say her goodbyes.

Sirius took out his mirror, and Harry handed over his to Remus.

"In case Hermione needs you," he Sirius explained, as Hermione took the mirror.

"Good luck Hermione, enjoy being a Teaching Assistant," Ginny said. The boys and Sirius took a turn to hug her and they all said their goodbyes to Remus, as they left Grimmauld Place.

They shrunk their trunks to fit them into Hermione's handbag, and Remus offered Hermione his arm, walking her towards Kings Cross. It was a bit of a walk, but knowing they would be on the train for a few hours, they made the most of stretching their legs.

"How are you feeling this morning," Remus asked and Hermione shrugged. "I feel a bit calmer, obviously nervous in case it comes back..." she said.

"Well, we'll do some research and see what we can do about keeping it away for good," Remus said and Hermione smiled.

"Way ahead of you, I've already got some books from the library before we left, I may take a look at them on the train."

Remus sighed. "I'll help, I don't want that thing near you again," he said.

Hermione shivered at the memory. "Neither do I. I had my wand up, as a light to see who was in my room, I figured it was one of you lot, due to the wards and concealment and stuff, the I saw him and for some reason it made sense to put the wand back where it was."

Remus nodded. "From what I know, it would have been attracted to a high amount of sexual energy," he blushed as he spoke. "Were you..." he broke off, hoping she would understand what he was asking.

"Oh no, nothing like that," she said quickly, blushing. "I was having a dream, and woke up and he was there."

"Well, is it too much to ask..." Remus began, flushing, "to know how... what you were dreaming about, because then when I research..." he asked, hesitantly.

Hermione nodded, as they approached the train station.

"Well, you may have guessed, but the dream was quite adult," she began. "I dreamt that someone - not the incubus, but someone was in my room and I was backed up into the bed and y... the man in my dream he was quite possessive and kissed me and...well, he rubbed against me. It's not a lot, but that's what happened, and then I woke up."

Remus thought for a moment. "I doubt it's a coincidence that the Incubus turned up at the same time you had an... adult dream. So we should work out if it turned up because you had a dream, or if you had that dream because of the Incubus.

Hermione nodded. "I've had similar dreams for the last few weeks."

Remus decided that he would start his research when they got on the train.
