About. Well enjoy the story!
Chapter 11
Lupin lay in the roots of an old tree. His body shook from cold and sobbing. Mist surrounded him like a blanket and he wished for his abandon clothes in
Dumbledore's office. Lupin sat up and hugged himself. He glanced around but the mist had become so thick he could barely see ten feet in front of his face.
Trees glistened with wet and the sky was a dark gray. It looked like it had recently rained and leaves dripped perspiration. Lupin sniffed the air, someone
was coming. He stiffened and looked into the suffocatingly close trees directly in front of him. Branches snapped as a black-cloaked figure stepped from
the swirling mist. They had come for him at last. The cloaked man stood before him and extended his hand.
"Remus." The voice was cold and sent shivers down Lupin's spine. The man removed his hood. "You have returned Brother, have you finally accepted your fate?
Do you truly wish to remain with the Brotherhood of the Moon this time?" His face was wolfish, yellow eyes stood out from the white skin and his hair grew
thicker than an average humans. The signs of a werewolf who didn't want to be return to human form.
Lupin shuddered. He hung his head at his nakedness and whimpered. Even after last night, his eyes had remained yellow. His hands were clawed, forever
half transformed. He looked up and met the half wolf's eyes.
"Yes, Brother."
Hermione lay in her bed. Drapes hung limply around her and the whole room stank of the dampness that had seeped in from outside. She got up and picked up a
hoodie on the floor. She pulled it over her head and headed to the dresser. She picked out a pair of comfy jeans and walked out of the cold room. The
common room glowed with heat from the fireplace and Hermione headed to the red velvet chair beside the fire. Her toes where white and she blew on her
fingers to warm them. She sat back in the familiar chair. She closed her eyes and laid her head back to look at the ceiling and jumped when she found
Sirius just behind her.
"Jesus Christ!!! You scared the crap out of me!!"
Sirius walked out from behind the chair and walked over to her. "I'm sorry." He hugged her quickly and pulled away.
Hermione watched him closely then went back to the chair. he knelt in front of her and grabbed her hands. "What were you gonna do today?"
Hermione glanced away. She had meant to apologize to Remus, but it wouldn't hurt to spend some time with someone who actually liked her for once. "I
don't know." She mumbled. "Do you have homework you need help with?"
"No." He leaned forward and kissed her cheek.
"Um..." She tried to concentrate, but then he kissed her other cheek. "No tests to study for?" Sirius reached for her face. "How's Remus?"
Sirius grumbled and stood up. "He's sick today." He folded his arms over his chest and watched her carefully. "Why?"
Hermione squirmed. "I wanted to maybe apologize..."
Sirius walked a few feet away and watched the dark grey sky swirl with condensation and rain. "What did you say to him anyway?"
"His future."
Sirius sat silently. He didn't look at her or laugh like he normally did. "Do you know my future?"
Hermione sucked in her breath remembering the night at the Department of Mysteries. "No."
Sirius spun and looked at her in alarm. "You do!!"
"Sirius... It's not easy to know the future..."
"TELL ME!" He looked panicked and Hermione wanted to cry.
"You die... protecting those you love..." She thought he would freak. Or yell and say he'd never die. But he smiled instead.
"Thank God." He sat in another chair and covered his face.
Hermione choked and began to cry. Memories flooded her. Harry's pain, Voldemort, the war. She sobbed and covered her face till both of them were the only
ones in the common room. Comforting each other in tears.
Harry glared at the forest before him. It stretched out to grab hold of him and make him forget his misery. After finding that there was no way to make
Hermione return he'd decided to take out the other problem instead. The Traitor Werewolf. After reading about how to kill them he'd found where most
of the werewolfs gathered. it was called The Brotherhood of the Moon. Not many people knew about it because no humans were allowed among them. But it
Was known that they gathered in the Forbidden Forest and accepted anyone who was abandoned, kicked out, and a werewolf. Lupin would most likely go
to join them. The coward, hiding from him amongst those he'd said he'd hated. Harry gritted his teeth and shifted the pack on his back and walked
into the forest. Green swallowing him and his revenge.
Remus watched Hermione and Sirius cry and felt the lump in his throat grow. He looked ten years older than he was and his skin was grey and taut over his
drawn face. He'd been so crazed yesterday after fighting with Hermione he'd begged his friends not to come to the house. He'd attacked everything in sight
and smashed tables and chairs in the old house leaving him exhausted and sick today. He sat in the corner and drew his knees up under his chin and looked
at Hermione. She was beautiful, smart, talented, but how did she know so much about him? A Seer couldn't possibly know so much could they? He stood and
walked to the bathroom, feeling the rabbit he'd killed yesterday coming up.
Lily got up and looked over at Hermione's bed which was...EMPTY!!! Lily jumped up and felt scared. Where had her new friend gone? She sprinted down the
stairs. No one in the Common Room. She ran back upstairs and threw on some random clothes. Why would she leave without me? She walked a little slower down
to the Great Hall praying Hermione would be there. She was. Sitting next to Sirius and James. Lily walked calmly over to them when she noticed Sirius and
Hermione holding hands.
"Finally!" She laughed and sat across from James. Then she felt someone walk past them. She turned around and saw Snape walking slowly past, watching them
in silence. She quickly glanced at James, but he didn't even seem to notice Snape walking past. He looked up at her and smiled. Then he shoveled some eggs
into his mouth and continued to try and finish some last minute Divination homework. Lily felt her heart swell. Had James finally grown up?
"James..."
He looked up again and he looked so confused. "Yeah?"
"I need to talk to you." Lily got up off the bench and raised her eyebrow at James when she saw he hadn't moved.
James jumped up, eager to please. "Of course!"
He followed her out and down a hall. she stopped a couple of times until she found an empty classroom and pulled him inside.
"What is it Lil-"
Lily grabbed James and pulled him to her before he could even finish his sentence. She kissed him passionatly and he yanked her in closer by the waist. They
slammed into the desk behind them. He stroked her hair and she held his face inher hands. James kissed her feircly and pulled her ever closer When the door
opened.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry the chapters not over!!!!!
Sirius walked in first, pulling Hermione in by the hand. Then came Remus and they stared at Lily and James for the longest time. Lily and James had stopped
as soon as they'd heard the door open. Lily was about ready to faint from embarrassment but James still looked like had lost all sense of time since Lily had
pulled him into the classroom.
Then Hermione began to laugh, and soon everyone was joining in and the room was full of giggles. Hermione went over and hugged Lily and James.
"Geez! For a minute I thought you weren't gonna end up together!" No one really understood the 'Seer's' words but they all headed for the Common Room to
finish up their studying for the Transfiguration test.
Remus had left the room as soon as Hermione had begun to laugh. He went outside to the lake and stared out. The lake seemed to boil with the squid churning
it up but Remus felt his blood run cold. He gathered his cloak closer around him and thought of his conflicting feelings. He hadn't had the guts to eat
breakfast. He knew he would've been sick...No, that wasn't it. It had been to because he'd felt sick every time Sirius and Hermione had looked at each other.
Was it just because I don't like her? No, it's because I do.
Remus fell back on his butt and ignored how much colder it made him.
I don't like her!
But I stared at her all morning.
She likes Sirius!
She's beautiful when she laughs.
Remus lowered his head and saw a rock lying next to his foot. He picked it up and tried to skip it. It sunk on the first skip and he stood. As he walked away
the squid threw the rock back. Hitting Remus right in the back of the head. He rubbed his head and sighed.
I wish I could make her laugh like Sirius does. Then I could see her smile all the time.
Lily snuggled against James and played with his shirt sleeve. "I always knew you liked me."
"well I wasn't exactly keeping it secret." Lily laughed and kissed his cheek."But what changed your mind?"
Lily thought about it for a minute then laughed. "I think I always did. I just tried not to."
James looked at the ceiling. "Girls! I don't get it! What was the point of that?"
"There never was a point, does there have to be? I figured it out didn't I?"
James sighed and pulled her in closer. "I'm glad."
Across the room Sirius shook his head. "I don't know which is worse, them not being together and James being obsessive, or being together and being all
over each other!" Hermione chuckled and tried to finish her last essay. But Sirius pulled aside her hair and kissed her neck. "You don't wish we were like
that do you?" Hermione pushed him away so she could concentrate.
"No." He moved up her neck, her jaw line, cheek, mouth. "maybe." Sirius chuckled and pulled away. Hermione sighed and looked back at her homework. Till she
felt someone watching her. She glanced up and saw Remus studying her. He didn't look away. Their eyes met and Hermione blushed and went back to her
homework.
What's his deal?
"Can I talk to you a minute Hermione?" Remus looked down on her and Hermione blushed and stood.
