Disclaimer: So you've made it this far. and I bet you know what I'm going to say.. Yepo. I don't own a thing

A/N: So is this a yah or a nah fic? I hope its original and I hope that it isn't one of those fics that are way of base. I think its kind of cute actually. So in this next exciting episode of "The Sweetest Things" (Why is it named that? Don't ask me the elves told me to name it that) Hermione will venture into the land of DADA class and keeping her cool and not hugging and kissing his right there on the spot. (Wouldn't we all want to do that if Remus was our teacher?) Ok I think that's all that's going to go on in this chapter but I don't know. we'll see. ::: Puts on her stylish writers hat and begins to write:::

Hermione slowly toddled (A/N I LOVE THAT WORD. SAY IT OUTLOUD.. TIS FUN) back to her dormitory in the north tower dreading the thought of going to Lupin's class that after noon. 'Maybe I'll fake sick. I can't face him or even look at him now probably with out my stomach falling somewhere around my ankles. And this whole breathing bit while he's around is asking a little too much of me.' Hermione thought miserably. 'Why do I of all people have to fall for HIM? There's nothing spectacular about him in any means. He doesn't have a studdly body or a Fabio sex appeal nor has he done anything different in the past two days that would explain why I have this little crush on him. Maybe its just hormones acting up. Maybe its just because I haven't eaten. Yeah, I haven't eaten anything today.' Deciding the whole eating things was her problem she turned around on the staircase and headed down to get something to eat. Keeping her head down she quickly headed over to a seat by Harry and Ron. (A/N: they're still the golden trio but the other two won't be the fic much) "Hey Hermione. Missed you all morning, where've ya been?" Harry asked " I'm the library. I had lots of work to finish from yesterday. I kind of got distracted by one thing and another." She had almost said Lupin's diary but she remember that she hadn't told them about that. " Did you get that DADA essay done for Lupin?" said Ron from across the table. Hermione's stomach must have been making good friends with her ankles that day because at the mention of the essay she felt as though it permentatly dropped there. "W..we..had an essay. essay due. today?" she croaked "Yeah, since we didn't have class really on Friday he had us write one. You did get it done didn't you?" Ron asked through a mouthful of mashed potatoes. "No" She looked as though she was about the burst into tears. 'I must have been really in a dream world that day to miss homework.' She thought to herself. Harry and Ron stared at her as though she had just sprouted an extra head. "You didn't get it done? Hermione, this is a Kodak moment! You never had late work in all the years here!" Hermione's head was in her hands. She knew Lupin's policy for late work. She wouldn't receive credit for that assignment but she would be forced to come in that evening and write it in his office while he worked on whatever teachers do and she would write. That's all she needed. Three hours with him alone in his office, no more than five feet from him for the whole evening! Forgetting to eat again that day Hermione wandered out of the dining hall and up the marble staircase. Thinking of the humiliation, she was facing in less that 30 minutes. Lupin wouldn't of course be angry, just disappointed. That was worse in her mind. She would have let him down and that look that would be on his face would probably make her the tears that had been threating to come burst through. 'I'm not having a good day' she thought as she said the password and entered Gryffindor common room. She ran upstairs and grabbed her bag, shoved her DADA book into the back pouch along with a quill and ink. She glanced at the diary that was among other books. 'No I'm not taking you with you. It's you fault I'm in this mess after all. You can stay here or get lost for all I care.' She said to diary and turned on her heel to head off to class. Hopefully she could try to talk to him before class so she wouldn't have to tell him when he asked where it was and why she didn't have it. 'Oh this should be fun'
