The Journal

________________________________________________________________________

Hermione walked into the kitchen and stopped in her tracks and heat rose up into her cheeks. Remus was dressed in nothing but a pair of pajama pants. He turned his head when he hard someone walk into the kitchen and smiled at the young woman and turned back around. Hermione frond at the small gesture but it was replaced with a smile when he turned around and a held out a hot cup of coffee. She walked further into the room and took the cup from Remus's hands. The couple walked into the dinning room and sat down at the table.

Remus sat back and studied Hermione for a minute something was different about the witch. He was drawn to her more than before and his wolf remained silent and content. He took a sip of coffee never taking his eyes off of her when they caught the wolf shape birthmark on her shoulder. Remus sat his cup down on the table and moved to the chair next to Hermione. He reached out but stopped halfway there and looked at her only for her to lower the thin strap down her arm. He ran his fingers over her shoulder gently tracing the mark of the wolf.

Remus unknowing kissed the rare mark pulled back and said, "Hermione what's going on?" She only gave him a shy little smile causing him to growl inside his chest. "Hermione," he said and slammed his lips against hers forcing his tongue inside her mouth. She whimpered inside his mouth and he buried his hands into her curls pulling her even closer. Remus quickly pulled back. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that," and quickly walked out of the room.

"Don't be sorry." Hermione whispered staring at the door. She propped her elbows on the table and buried her face in her hands. "Mooney when are you going to tell him the truth. I see him everyday and it's killing me."

"You love Remus don't you, love?" Sirius said gently from the doorway. Hermione slowly turned her head and nodded. He sighed sat down at the table and smiled. "Just give him sometime. He sees you as his student at the moment." Sirius said and squeezed her hand. "Mooney loves you. I can tell. He's loved you since your fifth year." Hermione's mouth fell opened in shock. Sirius smiled and said, "Just be patient."

Hermione nodded and slowly pulled her strap back up on her shoulder. She grabbed her cup, kissed the marauder on the forehead and left the kitchen. She knew things were slowly changing in her time. She could tell just by the brightness of Sirius's eyes and it made her wonder if he served twelve years in Azkaban. She would have to wait but sometimes it seemed unbearable to wait. She had no choice.

Remus walked into the kitchen and found Kristine cooking breakfast and Harold at the kitchen table reading the Daily Prophet and drinking a cup of coffee. Harold looked over the paper and smiled at the young man. Remus smiled and sat down at the table. He folded up the paper and sat it down next to him. He studied the werewolf and noticed that Remus's hair had more strains of gray in his sandy blonde hair, face was paler and looked more exhausted and had a few more scars.

Kristine sat two plates of breakfast on the table and noticed Remus. "Sweetie, do you feel alright?"

"I'm fine Mrs. Potter." he answered. Kristine studied him for a moment nodded and returned to the stove.

Sirius and James stumbled into the kitchen. Remus shook his head. The way they walked into the room people would think they were drunk. Harold chuckled and turned to his breakfast. The boys sat down at the table. Kristine sat down two plates. They gave her small thank you. She kissed each marauder on the forehead. Harold stuck out his bottom lip. She only smiled and gave her husband a quickly kiss on the lips. She was surprised when he pulled her into his lap.

"Get a room." Sirius and James said at once. Remus only smiled hoping he and Hermione were like that when they meet again.

Harold let his wife from his lap and she fixed her plate and return to the table. She sat down next her husband.

Sirius sat the journal down on the table. "You forgot that mate," and sat a quill and bottle of ink down. "Hermione might write you and you don't need her mad at you. Do we?"

"Thanks Padfoot." Remus said gently ran his fingers across the journal. "I'm ready to met her and waiting is horrible and twenty years makes even worse."

"You always have to do things the hard way, don't you Mooney?" James said with a smile. Remus chuckled and threw a piece of toast at his fellow marauder.

The family ate in comfortable silence. James and Sirius were trying to figure out what Mooney meant about 'beware of the rat and befriend an enemy.' because they couldn't understand the meaning behind the phrase. Harold watched Sirius and James because he knew if they were silent something weighed heavily on their minds. And many things happened last night that everyone was trying to figure out it was truly about. They all jumped when the journal lit up gold expect for Remus.

He chuckled and opened the book and sat his plate on counter and turned the journal. He sat Hermione's picture down on the table in front of him.

You kissed me in the kitchen but quickly left the room. Sirius told me that you see me as your student right now. I can understand that but it still hurt.

Remus's brow frond. Sirius and James turned their heads to read the sentence and both of their brows frond. They looked at their friend and turned to the journal.

You're gradually giving Remus memory flashes. He kissed my wolf too.

Mooney smirked and looked up at the group with amber eyes and turned back to book. He wrote his reply to his mate.

Hermione sat in her room waiting for him to reply. She wanted Mooney's reason behind his future self actions. She saw words slowly appeared on the page.

My witch I did not mean to hurt you. You must understand that it's my last intention. It's near the full moon and I want to play. It was only a tease. I was giving my human a taste of what's to come. I'm sorry for hurting you. Go to me and play.

What! You can't be serious! You'll just leave and be angry at me and at your self. You're my professor!

"Wow getting funky with a student Mooney."

"Watch your self Padfoot. She isn't my student at the moment. We are away from Hogwarts. Hermione is of age."

Kristine stared at Remus and crossed her arms. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The werewolf looked up at the witch and raised a brow and she sighed and gave up at even jumping on the boy. Kristine couldn't change the matter and he turned back to the journal.

James and Sirius raised their brows at what Remus wrote to Hermione. They smiled at their friend. Mooney was going to get laid. He growled at the two marauder but gave them a wolfish smirk and turned back to the book.

I'll only go for you and because I love you.

Remus stared at the three words they'd never wrote. He traced the words and smiled.

Hermione couldn't believe she wrote those words. She wondered if he was ready to hear them or not. She needed to tell him before she lost her nerve. She chewed her bottom nervously waiting for a reply. She smiled.

I love you too my brown eyed girl. Go to me. We'll talk later. The boys are begging me to play some quidditch.

Hermione let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled. She put up the journal and left the her bedroom. She had no idea what was going to happen. She hid her shaky hands in her blue jeans pockets. Hermione stopped at Remus's bedroom door and raised a shaky hand. She shook her head and turned around. She turned back around and knocked on the door.

Remus opened the door and stood there staring at each other. He rested his hand on the doorframe blocking her from entering the room. He looked her up and down at her beautiful face and brown eyes to her well developed bust line, flat stomach, curved waist down to her long legs. Remus closed his eyes to regain control his want of the beautiful woman in front of him. He suppressed a moan that threatened to escape his throat. He reached out his hand and stroked Hermione's cheek. He opened his eyes and she saw it was Mooney. He ran his hand down her neck, across her shoulder and back to her neck. Mooney took her hand and gently pulled her into the room and closed, locked and silenced the room.
