Okay, a long chapter here for you! I am so tired and I am off to bed. I hope you like this chapter, I am sorry that the end is a bit rubbish, it is late and I started slacking a little at the finish. Downton Abby has started again! I absolutely love Maggie Smith!
If you like the story, please give it a favorite and a follow! Maybe even a little review... Pretty sure I haven't transformed into JK Rowling... yep... still not her!

I woke up in the hospital wing later that day. I lay there thinking for a while until Madame Pomfrey noticed I was awake. She came over and asked me how I was while she changed the bandages on my arm. She also explained that whatever I cut my arm on was poisonous and I was going to be in the Hospital wing for a few days.

The first thing I said was. 'Did you get Remus?' I whispered it so that the few others in the wing couldn't hear me.

'He's in the room of requirement. He is still very ill but we can't risk him being down here. We can't have anyone else finding out he is here.' Madame Pomfrey replied. Then she said, 'Hermione, what's going on? Why were you following him?' I didn't know what to do. There was only one person who knew about Remus and I and that was Sirius. But Madame Pomfrey... could we trust her? What would she say?

I took a deep breath...

Madame Pomfrey just looked at me, she had not said anything since I had told her. 'Please... please say something.' I said weakly. Madame Pomfrey sighed.

'Well, this is new, Hermione. New but illegal.' She said.

'We are waiting until I am of age. We have done nothing illegal.' She looked at me. 'I swear'. To my surprise, Madame Pomfrey agreed to keep quite as long as we waited until I was of age. She asked me for the hundredth time if the wolf had scratched or bitten me at all and then left when I reassured her. Before she got to her door I called to her. 'Can I go and see him?' She looked at me.

'I'll transfer you. You can stay in the room of requirement with him' She said before walking into the room. I tried to hide my smile. At least I was going to be there with him. She had explained to me that he was found unconscious in the forbidden forest. The spell Hagrid hit him with had made his transformation longer and more painful than it normally was. She had gone into detail as to how but I was so worried, I wasn't even paying attention. I just had to see him, and anyway, it was my fault he was hurt. If I hadn't gone after him, Hagrid would never have had to use that spell to protect me from him. From him. I say it as if Remus was the wolf. When he transitions, Remus does not become a wolf. The wolf inside him comes out. Remus is not his wolf and his wolf is not Remus, that I know. I was scheduled to move up to the Room of Requirement when the castle had gone to bed. We were going to have to be really careful now that Umbridge was headmistress, Merlin only knows what she'd do if she found Remus, Sirius and Tonks.
I told myself that it wasn't the time to tell Ron and Harry about us yet. They knew that he and the others were in castle, but not about Remus and I. So when they came to visit me, I told them that Crookshanks had run into the forset and I got into a spot of trouble with an angry centaur.

'That bloody cat..' Ron said shaking his head. 'Hermione, it really isn't worth you getting hurt.' Even though the story wasn't true, I was still a little hurt that he had said that.

'Hermione, he's right. You could have got really hurt, I mean look, you're lucky that Madame Pomfrey got to that cut.' Harry added. It was true, the plant's poison had been really toxic; I was very lucky that Madame Pomfrey treated it. I was going to have to stay in the room of requirement for a few days while I was on the medication course. The boys knew I was going to the room of requirement. We told them that I was going there because Umbridge couldn't find out I was injured - she would probably expel me for leaving the castle at night. The boys were not suspicious of the story and left after a few hours after saying that the DA wished I was better soon. I spent the rest of the day in the hospital wing reading. I kept glancing at the clock to see how long I had left until I was moving up to the room of requirement. When the lights came on after it got dark outside, I knew it wouldn't be long. When Madame Pomfrey finally came up to me and told me it was time, I jumped out of bed far too quickly and had to sit down again for a few minuets because I made myself dizzy again. We walked up seven flights of stairs to get to the seventh floor. I had to stop several times to catch my breath - the poison was still affecting me. When we got outside the room, Madame Pomfrey told me that to get in, I had to think of a secret hospital. I paced back and forth in front of the room and thought hard to myself. When the door finally appeared, Madame Pomfrey told me that I should find a bed in there for me. She was going to return in the morning to tend to us both. I thanked her and opened the door. The room was still the same size as it was when we used it for the DA meetings, however now there were shelves on one wall holding different medical equipment. There were two beds next to each other, their heads up against a different wall. In one of the beds I saw him. He was lying on his back, his eyes were closed and he had bandages up one of his arms. He had several cuts and scratches on his face and he looked like he had been in a fight, which I knew he hadn't. It's just what the transition did to him. I walked over to his bed slowly. Madame Pomfrey told me that he had not woken since they found him, and that he was probably still going to be unconscious when I saw him. I took his one, bandage free hand in mine. I sat on the edge of what was to be my bed and held our hands in my lap. 'I am sorry', I whispered. I stroked the back of his hand with my thumb. It was all my fault. I don't know how long I sat there for, but after a few hours I started to feel extremely sleepy so placed his hand back on his bed and climbed into mine. I closed my eyes preparing for the nightmares I knew were to come.

I woke that morning when Madame Pomfrey came in. She changed our bandages, and gave us both our medication. A table covered in breakfast food had appeared, but I couldn't eat anything. When she had left, I got up and resumed what I had been doing last night, holding his hand and praying he would be alright. I must have fallen asleep again, because I woke up with my head resting on his bed. It wasn't exactly a comfortable position because I was still sat on my bed and I was almost bent double. I jumped when I heard a voice.

'Looks like we have changed positions.' Remus said.

'Remus' I said quietly but inside I was so happy that he was awake.

'Not so long ago, you were the one in the hospital bed and I was the one worrying.' He said, taking a strand of my hair and twisting it in his fingers.

'How are you feeling?' I asked.

'Sore, but I'll live.' He sighed. 'What happened?' Oh Merlin. Now I had to tell him that I encountered his wolf - He wasn't going to like it.

'Remus, don't blame yourself. It was my fault.' I started but Remus interrupted me.

'What was, Hermione? What happened?' Then he saw my arm. His eyes widened in horror. 'Hermione?'

'Remus, calm down... I came to see you when I heard about Dumbledore, but I found you running across the grass. I panicked and followed you into the forest... I... I didn't realize it was a full moon... you transformed.' I said.

'No... no' Remus said, the tone of his voice broke my heart. I noticed tears in his eyes. 'Please, please tell me that I didn't bite you. Oh God, Hermione, what have I done?'

I grabbed his hands, 'No Remus, you didn't bite me. You chased me, and I caught my arm on a poisonous plant. Hagrid hit you with a spell that made your transition back to yourself damaging.' Remus sank into his bed with relief.

'Hermione, I am so sorry.'

'I just said, you di..' I tried but he interrupted me again.

'I knew this would happen. Hermione, I am dangerous.' Tears filled my eyes this time.

'It wasn't your fault.' I begged. 'Please, Remus don't blame yourself' I felt awful, he looked so distressed. I continued to try and make him understand. After a while I gave up trying and stood up. I walked over to him, leaded over and planted a kiss on his lips. He said my name quietly, but I stood up straight, walked over and climbed into my bed. 'I love you, Remus.' I said, staring at the ceiling.

'I love you too, Hermione. I just hate my wolf.'
