Hermione looked surprised at her old teacher. She hadn't seen him for a year.
"Are you shocked? Who were you expecting? Snape?" Remus Lupin asked.
"Well, I was hoping he wouldn't teach us!" Hermione said, feeling much more happy than earlier that day. She walked into the charms classroom with her teacher. "But Professor, why has Professor Dumbledore chosen you to teach us? Do you know Dark Arts?"
"In my time at school I was the best in Defence Against the Dark Arts in my class. Even better than James and Sirius! And that was something! The best way to protect yourself of the Dark Arts, is to know everything about them. I always lend James' cloak to go to the library at night. It was very dangerous sometimes. After school I had nowhere to work. I decided to go and deepen myself in learning more magic. After James and Lily died and Peter too in my eyes" his eyes showed anger for a second, but disappeared. "Sirius was in Azkaban, so I was all alone. No one cared about a werewolf, so I travelled around Europe and Asia for a couple of years. I heared of many prophesies, most of them never came true. I have seen and learned strong magic. You can't learn everything from books, Hermione. Professor Dumbledore is very sure that I know enough for me to teach you and Draco Malfoy."
There was silence for a couple of seconds.
"But what about Sirius?" Hermione asked. "I thought that he was with you."
"He's fine. I left him in good hands. He'll be fine,," Lupin said.
A knock was heard on the door and a irritated looking Malfoy walked in. He looked at Remus in discust.
"Is He going to teach us?" He asked, not to Hermione, but to himself. "Oh, well," he continued shrugging.
"I hope you two are ready, because this training isn't going to be easy. It's going to take much time before you can control your magical powers. And maybe even tears of pain, I don't know. But you have to promise me that you won't give up. Never. It's for the good of the wizarding world." Luping looked at both of them in turn.
"I promise," said Hermione.
"Whatever," said Draco.
"Draco!" Said Hermione angrily. "Don't you understand that we have to do our best?"
"I'm not doing this for the damn wizarding world! And not for you nor for Professor Lupin!" Draco said angrily.
"But..." Said Hermione. All her happiness vanished and all her pain came back.
"I promise that I will be strong enough to get my mother back and revenge my father, but I've already made that promise before many times."
"That will be good enough," said Remus Lupin. "Let's get started. You have your wands? I want to see what you can do with your wand. After practicing with our wands we will try to focus your powers without a wand, but not until a couple of lessons. That will need a great deal of concentration, so please don't argue with each other for a while. You have to get enough sleep and not to spent to much time in you homework, that will take to much energy." He looked at Hermione, who looked a bit horrified, but didn't say anything. "You can call me Remus, I'm not your official teacher."
Hermione nodded.
They started to practice with their wands. Hermione had always been very good in charms, but with so much power it was much harder to control it than with her usual power, but Remus had said that when they got used to their new, stronger powers they would be able to control it better and it would be very strong. In a month time, Hermione and Draco would be able to destroy a whole house with one single spell.
After two hours of trying to control their powers and destroying most of the chairs in the room, they could go back to their common room. Remus had been very busy in trying to give the two children orders and he did his best in repairing the chairs and the walls that had been injured.
Draco left the room immediately after Remus said they could go, but Hermione stayed to talk to her teacher.
"Does Harry know you're here?" Asked Hermione.
"Not yet, but I will be staying here in Hogwarts, so I will come to the Great Hall to eat, so I will be seeing Harry really soon. I just arrived here, that's why I wasn't at dinner," Remus said smiling at her.
"Do you know why I can talk to animals?" Hermione asked after silence. "I mean, I understand that my magical powers are much stronger, but why have I got new powers? I have never been able to talk to animals before."
Remus frowned while thinking. "Yes, it is strange, but almost anything is possible in the magical world. It has not happened many times before that while the planets are like that, that those powers get into a human, so there is not much information about it. I am sure that many other gifts will be showing in the next month, but I don't know if some of them will be dangerous."

I know. It's boring!
It's not Hermione / Draco yet, but I think it will be soon. I don't know exactly in what mood I will be in.
Sorry it takes so long for me to make a new chapter!
Thank you everybody for the reviews!!!! I like thanking people personally, so her it goes.
Thanks to:
~Chrissy~ ~allee kat~ ~michee~ ~icy stormz: I don't know where I'm supposed to get a beta reader! But I have only had English lessons for 2 years, so I'm kind of proud of myself that I can write a story (I'm from Holland, if you are wondering).~ ~Ly-chan~ ~Bad Gurl~ ~The Charmed One~ ~Joyce: I'm so sorry!!! Sorry sorry sorry, but I never e-mail people when a new chapter's up. Well, it's not a very good story after all, is it.~
I have the feeling this isn't exactly a Romance story. Please tell me if I should make the second genre Adventure/Action. Or should I make it Drama?
