Warnings for this chapter: Anger issues? Biting (no blood though)
Chapter 9
Hermione POV
Remus and I had been talking since he head come into the house earlier. I felt safe in his arms where I was, Greyback just caused me anger and anxiety, Viktor's father… well that was just hatred, and Viktor…. Viktor confused me.
Sighing as I rubbed my face against Remus's shoulder. Wait…. Why am I rubbing against his shoulder. Why do I feel like I need too?
Hearing a throat clear I blushed looking up from the hole I had been burning into Remus' arm. Wetting her lips, "Sorry I…"
He just smiled, "You were rubbing your scent on me Hermione. It is normal. Your wolf seems to want to claim me belonging to it, to you."
Blushing, "Oh I don't think about you like that…. I mean I agree you feel more like a…"
"Father figure?" He smiled down at me and I couldn't help but blush as I nodded, he had a knowing smirk on his face. "Hermione look at me, I understand. It is natural that you want to scent me like that. You think I haven't been doing the same? You are in my arms. I have been rubbing your arm with my hand."
Biting my lower lip I almost rejoiced in the slight pain it caused, was I becoming that much of an animal.
Looking up at Remus and then back down to my bitten finger nails, I had not bitten them in years but my anxiety had been a bit much lately.
Looking up at the window as the room slowly turned orange my stomach feels like it is going to drop out of me. "The sun is setting…"
I knew I was starting to shake, I didn't want to transform. Gripping my hands into his shirt as I tried to still my hands, "I don't want this…."
Remus nodded his head I could see his throat moving as he swallowed nervously., "I know Hermione, but it is going to happen… and soon."
Closing my eye as I tried to take a deep breath when I started to feel a slight tickle covering my skin. Snapping my eyes open I looked at Remus who was looking down at me as if he knew what I was feeling.
Giving me a small smile he patted my arm before moving me to stand up. He left the room for only a moment before stepping back in holding a brown blanket.
Setting the blanket down he reached over and tugged lightly on the hem of my dress, "It is time. You'll want to take that off, you can wrap up in the blanket if you don't want to walk out there naked. I am going to go get ready. Don't take too long."
Looking at the blanket I suddenly remembered that I would be walking out there naked. With everyone else."
Breathing hard I gripped my dress before pulling it over my head, quickly wrapping the blanket around myself trying to cover as much as possible.
Stepping out of my room I looked over seeing Remus standing there in nothing but a towel that was wrapped around his waist. Thankfully he didn't look in my direction as he opened the front door letting me pass him.
Looking at the other heading to the center of the village I couldn't help but notice probably about 90 percent of the people wore nothing, not even a towel. Men, women, it didn't matter.
Deciding on looking at the ground was my best option after seeing an overly excited man jumping around in nothing but his skin.
Grabbing at my own skin the tingling sensation was getting worse as the moments passed by, "Is this normal?"
I couldn't help but whisper in Remus's direction. However I stopped in my tracks when Remus's voice was not the one that responded.
"Vour skin knows a change is coming. Vou can vell the moon in vour very being. It is exciting."
Glancing up so quickly I thought my neck would snap. I gripped the blanket around me tighter as to not let anything slip. "Vvviktor?"
He just grinned at me not seemingly embarrassed by his nakedness, "Vhy are vou covered up like dat?"
My eyes widened as I saw his hand reaching for the blanket, his friend from school standing right at his side naked as Viktor himself. Stepping back to get away from his hand only to step into someone.
Looking up I saw Remus staring at the rising moon before looking back down at me as if just now realizing Viktor was trying to take my blanket.
Clearing his throat Remus placed an arm around me, "Viktor she is not used to this yet. She will be calmer with the blanket."
Disappointment flashed across his face as clear as day for a moment before he nodded, "It is just flesh Hermione, vne day vou vill be alright vith it."
I didn't know where the sudden burst of energy came from, but suddenly nothing else mattered. All I could focus on was the pain that ran through my body as I felt each bone breaking.
Skin tearing.
Screaming.
All I could hear was screaming, all I feel was pain, I kept trying to fight it to be stronger but nothing was working until I was pushed into a black abyss.

Hogwarts
Harry sat on the chair in the corner of his room flipping through the pages of book. He had no idea what it was about, only that they moon had risen 15 minutes ago and his best friend was either officially dead, escaped with Remus or being bitten.
Jumping slightly as the door opened revealing his Ro . "Do you think Remus got her out?"
Ron just frowned before shrugging, "You figure out the first task yet?"
Harry watched as Ron walked over to the chair opposite of his. Sitting back his eyes were clearly far from where they were currently sitting.
Looking up Harry watch as the clouds moving across the full moon. "No, I can't stop thinking about Hermione."
Ron looked down a blush of embarrassment crossed his face, "I was a right jerk to her. Now she is gone."
Harry looked up with shock written over his face. "She will be back Ron. Dumbledore had Remus go after her. He will get her back."
Ron just shook his head, "Ya? But she will be different from before. The moon is already up ya?"
Frowning at Ron he shook his head, "It will still be Hermione, she will just be different one night a month. She is still our friend Ron."
Shaking slightly, "Harry you know I think Lupin is a good guy, doesn't mean I want him around me though. What if he lost his temper? Hermione would be new! No control at all and you know it!"
Getting up Harry stalked over to Ron punching him in the nose, "It is still Hermione!"
Leaving the room he slammed the door shut ignoring the pained cried from Ron about his bloody nose.
Leaving the common room he headed towards the headmaster's office to see if he had received any word from Remus before the moon rose.
Standing there he heard people talking up ahead.
"There is nothing we can do Headmaster. Her parents will be notified tomorrow of her death. An unfortunate accident."
Silence was all he could here, but then again he was probably in shock.
Stepping around the corner, "She could be alive!"
The 3 men from the ministry and the Headmaster and Professor Mcgonagall turned to him, the eldest man raised his head in a sneer, "Mr. Potter if she is she is and animal now, we could not send her to the muggle world again."
He didn't realize until he was sitting in the Headmaster's office that someone had moved him.
Looking up at his headmaster, "Are they really giving up on Hermione?"
His headmaster just picked up the crystal candy bowl, "Lemon drop?"
Shaking his head never breaking eye contact. "Hermione. I need to know that she is okay! No one seems to be helping her except Remus and now nobody knows where he is at! Bloody hell, Viktor Krum seems to be more worried about her than the ministry!"
Setting the candy dish down with a frown. "Harry. You will need to accept that Hermione won't be coming back my boy. Even if she is alive, she is a werewolf now. No one is doing anything right now because it is a full moon. And if Remus was able to make contact with her, lets just hope he can help her through the transition."
Harry just stood there slack jawed as Albus Dumbledore himself basically told him Hermione was a lost cause. He watched the older wizard look at a few things on his desk, "Now Harry I needed to speak with you about something important. We have been noticing suspected death eaters from 15 years ago are beginning to act suspicious again. The Ministry asked if you would be willing to make an appearance. It might prevent things from getting out of hand."
Slamming his hand down as he left the room he barely noticed his Defense against the dark arts teacher following him. Turning suddenly, "Oh Professor, sorry. I wasn't ignoring you."
Moody just nodded curtly before wobbling off in the other direction.
Heading into the empty Gryffindor common room he sat there for a moment, his leg bouncing up and down as his thoughts ran wild. Sitting up suddenly he ran to his room pulling out parchment and a quill.
Tapping the paper slightly before the sound of scratching filled the room.
Sirius,
I hope all is well and you are figuring things out.
I am writing to ask you about Remus.
I don't know if he talked to you before he left but Hermione was taken by werewolves. Everyone has given up on finding her since it is now the full moon.
I know Remus went to find her and try to get her back. Did he mention to you where he was looking?
I want to go after her too. Can you help me?
Harry
