Chapter eight:

When Tonks arrived at the great hall she looked up to find Remus looking distressed. When she followed his line of sight she realised he was looking for Hermione.

For fucks sake, what did she have to do to get noticed, and why was he looking for that stupid little girl when he should have been looking for her.

At the staff table professor Dumbledore had noticed Remus being ill at ease, got up from his chair and walked over to find out what was wrong. He knew that Hermione and Remus were having a tough time, but he didn't know why, he even had a suspicion that they were a lot more then friends, but still he was unsure why they both seemed to be in emotional turmoil.

"What is troubling you Remus?" Dumbledore asked.

Severus Snape had also seen Remus' discomfort and was concerned slightly as well. Hermione and Remus were the only people at the school who had really taken the time to try and get to know him. They both thought that there was more to the bastard he played and had forged a friendship with him, one that he was learning to cherish.

Remus' left hand planted itself over his encased heart, his right one going to his head, he couldn't understand what was happening, but knew that something was wrong, and he wasn't sure but he didn't think that it was his pain and heart break he was feeling.

When Dumbledore came over to him and asked him what was wrong, he explained the feelings to him. Dumbledore seemed to have an idea of what was happening and with an expression of sadness and worry on his face he walked quickly towards Severus.

Dumbledore bent and whispered into Severus' ear.

"Severus, my boy, please go and check on our Hermione. I have a bad feeling about this, and what ever you do, do not take her to the hospital wing, just get her as comfortable as possible until I get there."

Severus didn't ask any questions, he got up and stalked out of the hall. Once he was out of sight he ran towards Hermione's room hoping that se would be ok.

He broke the wards on her door and walked into the room, spotting her almost immediately, curled up in the foetal position within the blankets on the floor.

He raced over, dropped to his knees, with one hand he moved the hair away from her neck and checked her pulse, after finding one he let himself relax the tiniest amount, knowing that even though it looked like she was just in a deep sleep, that she was actually not conscious. Looking at the lines of her face, and the dampness to her eyes, he realised she was still in a lot of pain, and for the first time in what seemed like forever, he had no idea of what to do.

He grabbed hold of her hand, turned it so that her palm was facing his body, and drew it to his chest so that she would be able to feel his heart beating beneath her hand, hoping it would at least let her know that someone was there to look after her.

He was now very glad about watching Minerva comfort her students all the time, because if he hadn't he would never have had any idea on what to do.

It felt like hours had passed before he heard foot steps coming closer, not just one set but two. Before Severus could consider who Albus would bring along the headmaster and his companion came into view.

Remus and Albus came into view. Severus wasn't the only one to take notice when Hermione's body seemed to calm upon there arrival, the twinkle in the headmasters eyes proved that point, and not for the first time he wondered what it was the headmaster knew that the others obviously did not.

Remus seemed to be in a trance of some sort. He walked over to Hermione and dropped to his knees. He wrapped his arms around Hermione's body and pulled her into his lap, nuzzling her neck, a keening and whining noise coming from his throat.

Remus under the watchful eyes of Severus and Albus he slid the material off her shoulder to uncover what looked like a bite mark. He ran his finger and then his tongue over the mark, a low unsteady growl in his throat as he heard Hermione whimper and moan from his touch.

When Severus tried to get closer to Hermione, to see if she would be ok, Remus growled at him.

Professor Dumbledore nodded to himself and walked towards Severus.

"Come, Severus, leave them alone, it will be ok. Come to my office, I will explain what is happening.

Severus moved past Dumbledore and out of the room, Dumbledore followed shortly after, placing a few intricate wards around the door so they would not be disturbed by anyone.

Remus had not been the one in control since he had walked into her room, but Hermione, just coming back to the world of the conscious didn't know what was happening. Figuring she was stuck in another one of her dreams, and smelling the arousal pouring off of him she decided it may be the last time so why not take advantage of it.

All she knew was that Remus, or Moony as she was slowly figuring it out, was licking and nibbling at the mark they had left the last time they had made love, and it was making her insides quiver.

The stood without even paying attention and she was slowly divested of all but her knickers.

His hands slid down her body, brushing the side of her breast as he past it, when his hands reached her hips her gripped her tighter.

Seeing the passion and desire in her eyes he picked her up slightly by her ass and pushed her against the nearest wall, his lips finding hers in a bruising kiss.

One hand kneaded her breast; the other ripped her knickers from her body, two of his fingers entering her moist, hot body roughly.

She bit down on his shoulders to dull the screams coming from her own throat, the screams turning to whimpers from the friction of his fingers pumping in and out, faster and faster.

Her hands fumbled with his pants, finally releasing his rock hard erection, cupping his balls and squeezing slightly, receiving a groan of appreciation.

Just as she was going to climax, he pulled his fingers out, but before she was able to voice her protests he thrust his hard cock into her, causing her to orgasm instantly.

"Oh FUCK MOONY!" Hermione screamed.

He stilled his motions and watched her face contorted with pleasure, her body shaking and sweating.

She opened her eyes and pulled him into a slow but passionate kiss her hips rocking against his. Remus took the hint, resuming his thrusting, hard and fast, nipping and licking her skin between kisses.

Remus pulled out of her and turned her around. Hermione put her hands up on the wall to steady herself as Remus pulled her hips back, aligned himself and re entered her from behind. Thrusting harder and deeper then she ever thought had been possible.

His hands released her hips, one of them wrapped itself around her waist to keep him grounded enough to continue the rhythm of thrusting he had started, the other travelled up her body. His hand was spread flat and started sliding from her hip, to her stomach and up to her breasts, massaging roughly. It continued a few moments later up to her shoulder, then without warning his hand wrapped around her hair and pulled her head back forcefully.

"MINE."

She cried out in a mixture of pleasure and pain as Remus growled into her ear before sinking his teeth into the juncture between her neck and shoulder drawing a small amount of blood.

The pain mixed in with the pleasure tipped her over the edge she was on; she screamed her release, Remus roaring his not long after.

He kept hold of her and rested his forehead against her back until he was able to breathe a little more rhythmically.

He pulled out of her slowly, his sensitive hearing picking up her sounds of discomfort. He turned her on her side, put one hand under her knees, the other under her arms and lifted her quite easily into his arms.

He took her back to the pile of blankets and pillows still on the floor, lay her among it all and turned out the lights before slipping under the sheets with her, pulling her body into his and nuzzling his nose into her hair, relaxing at the scent of himself mixed in with hers, and fell into a satisfying sleep.

AN: This should keep you going for another week. Hope it met your needs. Big Thanks to Mistress Malfoy who sat behind me with a whip until I finished the chapter. Bless her soul.
