Beatuy And The Beast Chapter Two
**Hermione's POV**
I can't even look at Professor Lupin anymore. I can't go to tht class anymore. For the past few weeks I have been paying Ron to pretend to be my boyfriend.
He, of course, is enjoying it, because Parvati Patil is jealous and that was the whole point for him.
But for me it was to make it look like I'd forgotten about that night.
I wish, over anything, I could forget that night.
Maybe a memory charm. But I know I wouldn't be able to do it.
It was the best night. All my feelings rose to the surface. Of course I loved Percy, but he was more of a brother, now that I think about it.
From what I heard Dumbledroe was able to find a cure for Rem- Professor Lupin. I'm glad. I'm happy for him. He doesn't have to go through all that pain anymore.
Well here's Harry and Ron with my homework from D.A.D.A.
"Hey, Herm." Ron said to me handing me a large pile of papers. "What did you guys do today? Lordy. You'd think we weere getting ready for exams. Oh, yeah. I forgot. NEWTs are this term. And so are OWLs.
I looked at the paper stack. There was a note on top.
"Professor Lupin wants to see you tonight because he wanted to know why you weren't coming to his class. We told him we didn't know and he said to give you that with your homework." They said together. They paused and looked at each other when I didn't say anything. "why aren't you going to his class, Mione?" Ron asked. "I just…nevermind…Don't worry." I turned. "I'll see you guys later." And I headed for the D.A.D.A. classroom.
The sun was beginning set when I got to his office. I knocked 2 times. The door opened. "You-You wanted to see me professor?" I said. "Yes. Come in. C'mon. Sit down." He ushered me into the office. I took a seat in front of his desk.
"Why won't you come to my classes, Herm- Miss Granger?" He asked. "Hermione, professor, Hermione. And I haven't been coming because I…" The I saw him for the first time that night. He didn't look well. He was very pale and he looked very ill. "Professor are you feeling alright?" I asked.
He looked at me. Then he walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I leaned the chair backwards so I could see him. He looked horror stircken by his appearance.
He looked out the window. "Hurry!" He said. "You have got to get out of here. Go…to…Dumbledore. Tell him to keep everyone away from my office and the second you leave this room lock it from the outside." He said very, very fast. "But professor…" Then I realised, the sure must not have worked and he was going to transform. I rushed out of the room. I locked the door just as he said and ran to Dumbledore's office.
I kicked the Gargoyle when I got to it. Since I was Head Girl I knew the password. "Lemon Drop!" I shouted at it. I got to the door and, for how hard I was hitting it, I could have knocked it down. "Hold on…hold on." Came the voice of the Headmaster. "Ah. Hermione. What can I do for you, Miss Granger?" He ushered me in. "Professor Lupin…" I gasped. "He's transforming. He…told me to tell you…to keep students away from his office.
"Are you sure? Are you sure he is transforming? Luckily he was the only one who has used it. Maybe it was the rat eyes…Well Miss Granger could you please tell all the Head of Houses that the Defense Against The Dark Arts corridor is off limits to everyone? Tell them what has happened." He said slowly. "yes, sir." I said. "Thank you. Now I suggest you be off."
When I'd finished with telling everyone I went to my dorm to finish my homework. My eyes filled with tears. I know he hadn't taken his wolfsbane because he hadn't expected to transform. Meaning he was going through excruciating pain.
The tears trekked down my cheeks. I looked up at the full moon and cursed under my breath. Damn you, Remus Lupin. For these feelings that I have.
