Hello! I'm so happy right now, seeing as THIRD QUARTER HAS ENDED. Yes, that is right! School is almost over! And once school ends, I'll be able to update every couple of days! And I only have this week left of school and then I have spring break. WHOO. Okay, sorry guys, I'm just really excited!

Okay, on with the story.


Hermione woke very early in the morning, while it was still dark outside. The enchanted fire had not gone out during their fitful sleep, but it had been reduced to little more than glowing embers. It was enough light to cast a glow onto her lover, who lay still asleep, his arms wrapped tightly around her. As she lay sprawled across his slim, but lean chest, she was struck with how simply innocent he looked in his slumber. The tense muscles around his face seemed to be completely at ease, and his eyes fluttered back and forth behind their closed lids, indicating he was dreaming.

Hermione found he looked rather…cute. She giggled as she imagined his horrified reaction to ever being described as "cute". He'd probably tie her up and punish her for using such a tender, feminine word- not that she would protest to being tied up and at his mercy. What had occurred between them last night was something Hermione couldn't place words to. She knew it had been sex, and it had been a renewal, but it felt like something so much more, and she'd bet her cherished copy of Hogwarts, A History that that had not been normal; sex wasn't like that for muggles-hell, sex wasn't like that for wizards or witches, either. What had she had experienced with Severus was…purely theirs, and it had been beautiful. The way he had made her feel, what he had done to her, it had reduced her to a limp, pile of satisfaction. She was pretty sure that at some point in the throes of ecstasy, she had even began to cry tears of pleasure. There was no doubting that Severus was experienced. And the idea of him tying her to the posts of his bed, using the tie of his silk robe, and being at his every will and want made her feel a stirring between her legs.

Perhaps it was time to wake him.

Hermione propped herself up on her side, though she was still forced to be flush against him, seeing as they had fallen asleep on his narrow sofa. But she didn't care; she liked the contact. She ran her fingertips along his muscled chest and down over his abdomen, till she reached his hipbone. She leaned forward and placed a light kiss on his neck, and began to trail them down over his chest. She noticed that his breathing was no longer that of deep sleep, but light and breathy. Her thoughts were confirmed when she reached her destination, seeing that it was suddenly half-erect.

"Pretending to be asleep, are we?" she asked teasingly, a smirk playing on her lips as she looked up, her eyes meeting pitch black ones.

"I am not the one taking advantage of a naked man in their sleep," he shot back playfully, though his voice was slightly strained as he tried to steady his breath.

"Hmmm…I'm not sure I entirely believe you. I think I recall Lupin saying something about experimenting when he was younger…something about going through a 'gay phase'. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, now would you, Severus?" she questioned, a look of false innocence on her face, though her eyes were glinting mischieviously. Severus's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open in a little round "o" of horror. At first she didn't understand what she had said wrong. She had only been joking, and he knew that, right? And then Hermione realized exactly what was wrong.


"Oh….oh you really did- OH-" she couldn't stop the hysterical giggle that burst forth from her lips, and pretty soon, she found herself wracked with bouts of laughter, while Severus just fixing her with a cool glare the whole time.

"Are you done?" he growled impatiently. She worked hard to compose herself, only answering him when her laughter had subsided.

"You and Lupin? Please, I have to hear the details of this," she looked at him eagerly, the amusement still clear in her eyes, though they also held what seemed to be genuine curiosity and…was that lust? Severus couldn't believe that she could be even remotely aroused after finding out about this, and yet it appeared she was. In fact, he was beginning to believe that perhaps…

"Wait a second. Does this arouse you?" he looked at her incredulously, noticing the flush that spread across her cheeks.

"Well…I mean, I-I...wouldn't quite say t-that," she dropped her eyes in embarrassment. Severus grinned a wicked grin and grasped her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes.

"Little minx. First you try to take advantage of me in my sleep," he murmured, placing his finger over her lips to stop the protest she was about to give, "and then you try to delve into my personal life? Naughty witch."

Before she could reply she was straddling his hips, her bare core rubbing against his now fully hard erection. Hermione groaned as she squirmed against him, aching for friction.

"Impatient chit," he growled in her ear before nipping lightly at her lobe. A moan tumbled forth from her lips as her movements against him became frantic. He began kissing down her neck, latching his mouth down on the pulse point there, and sucking, making sure he left a mark.

She was his.


Hermione lied on her back as Severus held himself above her, positioned himself at her entrance. He looked down at her, wicked smirk playing at his lips.

"Tell me what you want."

"Please, Severus…"she groaned, her need becoming increasingly stronger.

"'Please' what?"

"Please, I want you…"

His breathing became heavier, as his fingers worked circles around her clit. "Yeah? What do you want from me?"

"Please! Fuck me!" Hermione normally would have been appalled at her language, especially in the presence of her Professor. Yet, seeing as he was about five seconds away from screwing her into the couch, she couldn't find it within her to care.

"If you wish," he muttered. He plunged deep inside her.

Hermione gasped at the feeling of Severus inside her. It was no longer uncomfortable, but instead it felt…right. She felt complete. She couldn't remember ever feeling anything as divine as his cock moving in and out of her. She couldn't remember ever seeing anything as sexy as her professor's muscled chest flexing every time he thrust forward. She couldn't remember ever hearing anything as beautiful as her moans of pleasure mixing with his groans of bliss.

It did not take long for her to feel herself come undone. The fire in her lower stomach exploded out in all directions, sending white hot pleasure through every part of her being. She was only dimly aware of Severus's thrusts becoming jerky and erratic, before he came with a growl, his arms yanking her body tightly against his as he released inside her.


"I'll answer your questions, but only if they are worth answering and you do not go blab them to Dunderhead Number One and Dunderhead Number Two…or anyone, for that matter," he murmured into her neck.

She pulled back to look him in the eyes as she considered this opportunity.

"Lupin?"

He sighed. "It was in our third year that he bit me. I had seen him sneak out before, heading towards the Whomping Willow. It just didn't seem quite right. They had planted it in my first year, and Dumbledore offered no explanation as to why. And then Lupin started disappearing into its trunk and I became…curious. I tried to tell Dumbledore, but he brushed me off. It wasn't until I realized there was a pattern to him missing classes, that confusion became obsession. I couldn't quite figure it out. I couldn't approach him, not even to blackmail him," Hermione rolled her eyes at his Slytherin tendencies, "because Potter and Black were constantly with him. Never left his side; except those days he missed class and those nights he disappeared. And then I decided to follow him one night. I trailed after him and watched as he found the knot in the trunk, and he slipped into a niche between the roots, one I had never noticed before. I grabbed the longest stick I could find and got as close to the tree as I could. It did get me pretty good, but luckily I was able to subdue it long enough to get in there. I didn't realize how incredibly stupid it was. I should have turned around then. But I didn't. I don't know what I was trying to prove…maybe I wanted to show everyone that I wasn't afraid, or maybe I wanted to find his secret and make sure I put Remus to shame the way he and his friends did to me. Whatever my motive was, it wasn't worth it. None of it was ever worth it."

Hermione could see him look off, clearly uncomfortable. She placed a light kiss on his palm. He gave her a small smile.

"It led into the Shrieking Shack. Imagine that, of all places… I crept around, careful not to make any noise as to tip him off. It was so eerily quiet…" he took a deep breath, " And then the moon came up. I had never heard anything like it. First he was screaming, and I was half tempted to go in there, and make sure he wasn't being murdered. But then screams turned to growls and growls turned to snarls. And then he started howling. And I understood exactly why he secluded himself. I understood the pattern: full moons. He was always absent on the days and night of full moons."

"Severus," she mumbled, grasping his hand in her smaller one, "You don't have to keep going."

He ignored her. "I reckon he must have smelled me, the bastard. I barely had time to turn before he had busted the door down. He was on me in seconds flat. There was no fight. He bit me. It was done."

"Oh, Severus…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to ask, I didn't know-"

He smiled. "What's done is done."

She smiled back and leaned forward, placing a slow kiss to his lips.

He smirked. "I suppose you want to know about the other side of Lupin and I?"

She blushed and nodded.

"I guess it all started in our fourth year…"


Okay, I'm sorry, guys but LUPINxSEVERUS is going to happen. Its going to be past (and possibly present and if it is, know that Hermione and Severus ARE NOT GOING TO BREAK UP for them. Hell, it might even be a threesome) but its going to happen. Im sorry to anyone who ships against them, but this is my story and its happening.
ALSO: I was wondering if you guys review, if you could post your age and gender also? I know it sounds weird, but i cant figure out what audience I'm appealing to by usernames. It would mean alot to me, but if you're uncomfortable with it, then thats completely fine too. I could just use some help.
THANK YOU for all of your reviews! I LOVE THEM. PLEASE R&R. I love you guys! See you soon!
