A/N: Hey I hope you all enjoyed my last chapter. I feel this is my best fic so far. Now I have something to clear up. I got a review from someone complaining about how I expressed Remus' age in the first year. I said that he looked to be about 35 I never said he was 35 years old. I know he is 37 I just said he looked to be around 35. Ok just wanted to clear that up.

Chapter 4 -

"And I've fallen in love with Remus." Hermione said, "I'm of legal age and I can date whoever I please and I will be graduating this year and I will be able to continue my relationship freely."

Harry looked at Hermione who had tears going down her face. "Your right, but I still won't stand for it. I won't tell, but I don't like it."

Hermione threw her arms around Harry. Hermione soon shed more tears, but they were tears of great joy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As the months went on Harry continued to keep the secret. Hermione helped Remus keep up with his classes. They would enjoy one another's company every evening. Ron knew Hermione was Remus' assistant, but he figured that it just was a lot of work so he never questioned her being gone so much.

One Saturday afternoon Hermione sat in Remus' quarters reading a book. Remus had a staff meeting and so she waited. Soon Remus came into the room.

"Hey." Hermione said as she sat down her book. She looked away for a second and the next second she looked to see Professor Dumbledore along with Remus and Professor McGonagall. Hermione gasp because there was a strong possibility that they found out about her and Remus.

"Miss Granger we have something very important to inform you of." Professor Dumbledore said.

All Hermione could do was nod.

Professor McGonagall went and sat on the couch next to Hermione. "Miss Granger we have just received word that your. . ."

"My what?" Hermione asked.

"That your parents have been killed by Voldemort." Professor Dumbledore continued the sentence.

Hermione gasp as tears fled down her face.

"It'll be fine dear." Professor McGonagall said as she rubbed Hermione's back.

"Voldemort killed them and destroyed the house. The dark mark was conjured above your house." Remus said.

Hermione looked up at Remus. A look of hate came over her face. She stood and ran out. Remus could not hold back. He ran after her. She ran down near the lake. Remus sat next to her on the grass. He held her as she cried into his shoulder.

"Why. . ." she cried.

"There could be many reasons, love." Remus said.

"What will I do?" she cried on.

"I will take care of you. It's ok. Just let it out, cry."

"I love you."

"I love you to darling."

Neiter of them noticed Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall standing right behind them. After Hermione spent 5 minutes spilling out tears she straightend up. She gave Remus a kiss that he returned to her.

They heard a clearing of a throat and turned around to see the Professors. Hermione was terrified.

"Why don't we all go to my office?" Professor Dumbledore said.

They all walked to Professor Dumbledore's office where Hermione and Remus sat in the 2 chairs in front of his desk. Professor McGonagall conjured herself a chair.

"Well. . ." Professor Dumbledore started. "I have suspected this for a while and I know there is nothing I can do to stop it. . ."

"Professor I'm so sorry I should of held up my judgment and . . ." Remus started, but was interrupted by Professor Dumbledore.

"Remus it is fine. I can see that you are in love with Hermione. I can see why. Hermione is a very smart young woman who looks to love you as well. Hermione as you are 18 and are legal age I see nothing wrong with you and Remus continuing this relationship. As long as you two keep it from the student body I see nothing wrong."

Hermione smiled as Remus squeezed her hand.

Remus and Hermione spent most of their spare time together. When they weren't reading together Remus was helping Hermione study for N.E.W.Ts. Remus knew that Hermione was going to do great in all her N.E.W.Ts because she was one of the most intelligent people he met besides Dumbledore.

Hermione lay in Remus' arms one evening after dinner. She stared at the ceiling just savoring the priceless moment.

"Hermione, love." Remus said.

"Yeah."

"I want to ask you something important."

"Sure, ask away."

"Well when I met you I knew that you were a very intelligent girl. This year when you were in my classes I felt there was something more than intelligence, there was love. In your eyes I see your passion to love and to learn. I never thought that I could be loved by anyone. You came into my life and changed me so much. I feel I can do anything when I'm with you because you have faith in me. Hermione Jessi-Anne Granger will you marry me?"

Hermione sat up and looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Is that a yes?" Remus asked.

"What do you think? Of course." Hermione threw her arms around him. How was this happening. Nobody could explain the connection that was put in between these two. The days seemed to last forever as they were together. Everything was peaceful in a since for them.

Remus put a beautiful diamond ring on Hermione's finger. She smiled at him and kissed him.

"I love you." Remus said.

"I love you." Hermione said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A week after Harry had found out about the relationship Hermione only told one other person. Ginny and Hermione had become best friends. Ginny sore never to tell anyone. Hermione and Ginny would always talk about Remus and Hermione's relationship.

That nigh after Hermione left Remus' quarters she went to Gryffindor tower. Ginny was sitting in the common room talking to Lavender Brown.

"Hey Ginny I gotta talk to you." Hermione said.

"Ok bye Lav." Ginny said.

They walked up to Hermione's room. One perk about being Head Girl was that Hermione got her own room.

"What's up?" Ginny asked.

"This." Hermione held out her hand.

Ginny gasp at the diamond ring on Hermione's hand. "He didn't."

"He did."

"Oh, my gosh congratulations."

"I'm so excited. We talked and we might get married at Christmas time."

"That is great can I be a brides maid."

"You are my Maid of Honor. He just have to get permission from Professor Dumbledore and it will be set."

"This is great your getting married."

"I'm so happy."

"Well duh you are marrying the hottest Professor ever."

"Ginny."

"Well it's the truth."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Remus gave the password to the Gargoyle and he walked up to the wooden door. Before he could knock a voice called him in. "Come in Remus."

Remus walked into to Professor Dumbledore's office. "Albus I need to ask you something?"

"Go ahead. Lemon Drop."

"No thanks. Well I'd like to marry Hermione around Christmas time."

"Have you asked her?"

"Yes and we would like to get married around Christmas if that's ok."

"It's fine."

"Can you marry us."

"I'd love too."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So how about the colors Scarlet and off-white." Hermione said.

"Yeah that would work really well. Your dress can be off-white and the bouquet can be scarlet and the bride's maid's robes can be scarlet."

"Yeah that would be perfect."

"So are you two going to have kids?"

"Ginny I haven't even graduated yet."

"I know, but hey."

"No we will wait until I'm out of school before any babies."

"So how are you going to tell Harry and Ron."

"Well Harry knows about the relationship and I have no idea how to tell Ron."

"He's my brother I'll do it."

"Thanks. The only thing is that I wish my parents could be there." Hermione sighed.

"They are looking down on you and are in your hearts so they are always with you."

"Yeah. Thanks Gin."

"Anytime."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Dungeon door opened. "What do you want Lupin?" Professor Snape sneered.

"Well I just wanted to know if you would be my best man in my wedding?"

"Who would want to marry you?"

"A remarkable young woman."

"Sure Lupin. Congrats." A weird smile non the less a smile went across Professor Snapes face.

"Thank You I can't wait to tell her."

"Who is she by the way?"

"Miss Hermione Granger."

"A STUDENT!!! Does Albus know of this?"

"Yes and he will be performing the ceremony."

"Well then Lupin you sure know how to get'em."

"You are quite a funny man. Good-bye."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Harry what's been up with Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Dunno." Harry lied.

"Stop lying and tell me what is going on. Nobody tells me anything."

"Well she had been going out with. . ."

"With who?"

"Professor Lupin."

"What the hell!"

"Shh I promised them I would not tell anyone ok."

"We gotta tell Dumbledore."

"He already knows." The boys turned around to see Hermione and Ginny.

"He knows?" questioned Harry.

"Yes we told him and he is perfectly fine with it." Hermione said.

"That's crazy." Ron said.

"No it's not." Ginny said.

"Yes it is." Ron protested.

"Well that's not the last of it." Hermione said.

"Well what?" Harry asked.

"wearegettingmarried."

"Slow down." Ron said.

"We are getting married." Hermione said.

"Now that is crazy." Harry said.

"You have to understand that Remus and I are in love and we are getting married." Hermione said.

"And it is something you boys will have to get used too." Ginny said.
