Chapter 10 : Wolfsbane, Fights and Drunk.

It had been now two days since the incident. Remus Lupin had taught this past two days his DADA classes, but with very little enthusiasm. Every time his eyes averted to Hermione Granger : he would frown and look elsewhere. He had been extremely distant with her, and this had made Hermione uncomfortable. But today was the day he would find out what had happened with his Wolfsbane, why Hermione was in the Forbidden Forest but especially who was the culprit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione entered the office of the Headmistress. Professor McGonagall was sitting at her desk and in front of her were three out of four occupied chairs. They were filled with Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks. Hermione was uncomfortable but McGonagall gave her an encouraging smile and she took seat in the empty spot.

"Welcome Miss Granger. I am glad you could join us…" The Headmistress began while Hermione nodded and sat. "I have gathered you all because I believe I have a few things to point out." She stopped at looked intensely at Tonks. "As you all know, Hermione Granger had been gone to the Forbidden Forest under the strict orders of Professor Snape to gather a Moonlit Plant." She paused. "Or so she thought." She finished in a low voice.

"I'm sorry to interrupt Minerva… But 'or so she thought'?" Remus asked clearly confused.

"Miss Granger you have received a note from Professor Snape, am I right?" Hermione nodded. "This note has not been written by Professor Snape but by Miss Tonks." McGonagall finished.

Tonks shifted uncomfortably as Remus looked at her eyes wide open : shocked. Hermione, on the other hand, was boiling of anger.

"I don't understand…" Hermione was clearly angry. "Why would you do this?" Hermione was on the verge of crying now. So many feelings running through her head : the thought of her dying, the fact that Remus was pitiful because he almost killed her. All this because of Tonks.

"Unfortunately Miss Granger, Miss Tonks does not wish to explain why other than to Remus Lupin. And I will, of course, respect her choices." McGonagall answered while Hermione nodded. "Also there is the subject of Professor Lupin's Wolfsbane…." She nodded to Snape to go on.

"Yes I have done my research and clearly your Wolfsbane had been simply modified by one ingredient: sugar… I am afraid that the sugar had tampered the potion and therefore did not affectively work on Lupin." Snape explained. "One can only imagine who has done such a thing…" He added glaring at Tonks.

Tonks gulped under Snape's fiery eyes. "I'm sorry…"She muttered which made Remus turn his head towards her.

"You added sugar to my Wolfsbane?" He asked in a bare whisper. She nodded. He sat there silent avoiding eye contact with her: his head was placed in his hands.

"Miss Granger, anything you would like to say ?" McGonagall asked softly. Hermione nodded.

"I just would like to say to Miss Tonks that you have hurt my feelings, but not only mine. For someone who claims to love this other person, you have a very harmful way of showing it." Hermione got up. "Now if you'll excuse me I have homework to do…" McGonagall nodded and Hermione walked out the door.

Snape looked at McGonagall who fairly understood that he was about to leave too. She nodded and he made his way out.

"Remus please do say something…" McGonagall said softly.

"Don't ever come near me again!" He got up quickly and gripped Tonks by the shoulders fiercely. His eyes were wet of tears of anger. "Don't ever come near me again!" He repeated slowly. She was wincing in pain under his hands. He was beginning to walk out of the door when he said finally. "Don't ever dare hurt Hermione again, or I swear you will regret it!"

He walked out slamming the door. McGonagall sighed and shook her head. She knew that Remus was not going to take this well. She looked at Tonks and wanted to comfort the young lady but she had betrayed everyone.

"Miss Tonks you may now leave!" McGonagall said sternly. "Have a nice day!" She added as coldly as possible.

Hermione had walked out of the Headmistress's office crying. She was so disappointed and angry. This young woman had put her life in danger, but above all had put Remus in danger. Hermione took a walk outside of the castle. She stood on the bridge of the Castle that overlooked the lake. She looked at the horizon, lost in her thoughts.

"Hermione?" She heard softly form behind her.

"Ginny?" Hermione echoed.

"Are you alright?" Ginny asked soothingly.

"Yes I'm fine…" Hermione answered sniffling and wiping her tears.

Ginny did not need another answer and approached her friend. She hugged her and stood by her observing the horizon.

Remus returned to his quarters in a very angry mood. He wanted to know why but did not wish to talk about it in front of the Headmistress. It would have been rude. He had tried to hold back his anger in her office but it was too much. He heard a knock on his door and opened very quickly.

"What do you want?!" He yelled as he saw Tonks.

"I wanted to talk to you…" She answered between falling tears.

"About what?! You have made yourself clear. You do not care about anyone but yourself!" He snapped shutting the door at her nose.

"I was jealous!" She yelled through the door. He opened it and looked at her with a look that said 'Go on'. "I was jealous…" She repeated. "Of Hermione Granger." She whispered.

"I'm sorry… I can't hear you!" Remus lied. He wanted to hear it clearly.

"I was jealous of Hermione Granger." She yelled crying. "You danced with her at the Halloween ball. You never hurt her, you protect her constantly, always worrying about her…. So I thought that if I…." She couldn't finish her sentence.

"You thought by getting rid of her, I would run to you?" He said angrily. She nodded despite the fact she knew how wrong she had been. "You disgust me! You are pathetic and yes you are childish!" He paused and smirked. "And yes you have every right of being jealous of her because she is smart and beautiful, and would never attempt to hurt anyone. You don't even come near an inch to her perfect body and spirit…"

Tonks looked at him with anger, but especially sadness. He was clearly telling her that she was not as worth it as Hermione Granger. Remus was enjoying every bit of the time he was hurting her. He knew he was wrong to do so but she had hurt Hermione and him so badly.

"And yes I do love her…" He whispered in her ear. Her eyes turned to anger as she attempted to slap him in the face. "Uh uh! Don't even dare touch me!" He said stopping her hand. "Now get out of my face!" He yelled.

He shut the door and she turned around sad and angry. She wanted to kill Hermione so bad, but she couldn't help herself but not blame the young lady. Despite all the hatred for Hermione, it wasn't her fault. Tonks had ruined everything and she knew it. She left Hogwarts defeated.

Remus sat in his quarters : he did love Hermione but it was a lost cause, a lost relationship. He would silently teach her class throughout the year and never be able to touch or discover every inch of that beautiful body of hers. He sighed thinking about her and the words of comfort she gave him a couple of days ago. She was keeping him alive and hoping. But it angered him to know he could not have her…

It was dinner time, and Hermione was sitting at the Gryffindor table. She poked her fork into her food but did not eat. She was too worried about Remus. She kept looking up to the teacher's table but he wasn't there.

"I'm not that hungry. I think I'm going to go back to the common room." She said clearing the table without waiting an answer from her friends.

As she was walking back to the common room, she found that her body was taking her to a different direction. Unconsciously, her body took her to Remus's quarters. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal a very drunk Remus Lupin. He looked at her with flaming eyes.

"What do you want Granger?" Remus asked in a very sultry voice.

"Remus are you alright? You weren't at dinner and I was worried…" She said trying to remain focused.

He approached her dangerously. "Miss Know-it-all is worried for me… How sweet" He whispered in her ear as she felt his hot breath on her neck.

"Uh Remus, clearly you are not in your right mind…" She said taking a step back yet feeling her legs were about to give out on her.

"Yes I am very drunk…. And I have only one thing on my mind." He said looking into her eyes. He placed his arm behind her back and pulled her close against him. "Do you want to know what's on my mind Miss Granger?"

Hermione just stood there completely lost for words. This man she wanted for so long actually seemed to desire her. She shook her head : snap out of it Granger! He's drunk! She thought convincing herself to not fall for his trap.

"No I don't think I want to know…" She said softly smiling at him. "Maybe you should just rest Remus. You can tell me tomorrow." She tried to free herself from him.

"Oh no you are not! You are going to find out right now!" And before she could say anything, he crushed his lips on hers and kissed her passionately. Hermione's mind was screaming to smack him in the face for being so rude and vile to her, but her body was not responding. To the contrary, she was responding to his kiss. She felt his tongue lick her lips, to which she responded by parting her lips. He slid his tongue into her mouth, tasting every corner. She could taste the fire whiskey on his lips, it was like being in heaven. She had dreamt of this moment for years.
Then the kiss ended, both gasping for air. Remus looked at her wide-eyed open realizing what just had happened, as Hermione was in a daze for a few seconds.

"Hermione… I'm…" Remus began.

"Don't say anything Remus. I better be off to bed. Good Night." Hermione knew far too well what he was going to say and she did not want to hear it. Instead she wanted to go to bed with a happy memory.

A/N:It turned out different than I had expected lol. I wanted something "hot" for the ending lol. XD. I am not done with Tonks. She's not going to do anything wrong, but I am going to be nice to her and stick her with someone who will love her XD.

Please Review ! I love reviews! XD
