Authors notes:
Thank you to everyone who reviewed my last chapter.
Again this is only a half sized chapter, but like they say sometimes something is better then nothing at all. Thank you all for your patience and just to do a little advertising for myself, I have a few other fics circulating you may be interested in while waiting for updates.
Nynaeve80: I have always thought that being an only child Hermione should be somewhat possessive of something she thinks or feels is hers, I am glad you like the way I have written it, and thank you for reviewing.
Molly: I promise! Continue I will. There will be too many people looking for me and my head if I don't.
Connieewing: Thank you for the compliment, and for the review.
Moony's Fire: Sorry can't tell you anything, as much as I would like too, it would ruin the read for you. I hope this chapter is up to everyone's expectations.
SwayPippin: It doesn't matter how long it took you to read them as long as you got here eventually. And your wish is my command. This chapter and the next are to do with her transformation.
Previous Chapter:
As I said, he is my mate, and I have to make sure he doesn't let McGonagall's words get to him. There are only a few more days before our first transformation, and even if I can not get to him before that, I will insist on him being there for it, and clear up a few things at the same time.
Nothing will get in my way now that I have tasted what is mine.
Chapter Four:
The full moon came quicker then either of them would of wanted, not that they didn't want to see each other, because they did, just that the looming pain they were going to experience for one night together was more then most people had to go through.
Tonks made a nuisance of herself, she probably thinks that she shares something special with Remus, and it smelt purely of friendship and a misguided attempt from both Tonks and McGonagall to turn that friendship into something else.
Into what no one wanted to believe Remus and Hermione had already.
A connection that went beyond just Hermione and Remus, It was even a connection deeper then of Moony and whatever name Hermione's wolf side decided to give itself, it was as if their souls and hearts had gone from being two totally independent parts, to sharing one of each, two halves of a whole, and when one half was gone the other half knew it, felt it and found it harder to live without it.
No one could understand this, Hermione knew and understood this, but she wasn't quite sure Remus did, she knew he would eventually, but also knew that Remus was in denial big time, because he thought that people could take away that bond they shared, and thought that he should distance himself and let Hermione continue life without him. The only problem was that now she felt that they were mates, her life was nothing without him in it, she had a need to be near him, and when she was near him, she felt whole, complete, and at ease, she needed him, and she needed to make him realise this.
Hermione had a few ideas of how to convince him, they were some of the things she used to snap herself out of her own denial.
Like when her Patronus changed from the otter she use to have to the wolf she had now, and how when she was finishing up her latest personal research, something she had been working on for a long time, the book that was under her bed stashed in a hidden hole, 'How to become an Animagus in twelve not so simple steps', and looked in the mirror after her first successful transformation, and saw a beautiful brown wolf staring back at her. If that didn't work, she could help him realise that the reason he always wanted her close was not just because he was infatuated with her, but because both he and Moony recognised her for what she was, 'Theirs!' and that it was no longer just a want and an infatuation but a need and a must.
It took nearly half an hour to make Tonks realise she and the ever so nosey Professor McGonagall would not be able to stay in the room with them while they transformed or even come back after the transformation.
They didn't know how Hermione was going to react to the Wolfsbane potion, or how they would react as two wolves presiding in the same area, and that no that did not mean they could separate them, because no matter what happened, Remus, would have his mind and Hermione, needed him to guide her for the first time at least.
As soon as the door was closed and they were left to themselves, they raced towards each other and embraced tightly, neither wanting but knowing they would have to let go.
"I'm so scared Remus," Hermione whispered into his neck.
"I know you are love, but it's nothing I haven't done before and I am still here aren't I? There will be a lot of pain, but you need to keep your breathing as deep and steady as possible, it will help even though it doesn't seem like it the first time," Remus sighed.
The beginnings of the pain associated with the transformation started only moments later. Both stripped of their clothing, 'so as to not shred it' and tried to relax their bodies and breathing to help with the natural progression, and shifting of body parts.
When the pain stopped Remus and Hermione craned their necks to look at each other, and as soon as they did they noticed one big difference between them, something was wrong, very wrong.
AN: I know I am cruel, but in my defence I never said I wasn't, so you brought it on yourselves. Please review and tell me how much you love to hate me.
