Chapter 6 -
Remus had just gone though his transformation that night and that afternoon he was so tired. Hermione was going to teach his classes that day including her year class. He lay in bed to tired to even read. He was keeping a boggart in a box that was in his room and it kept making rattling noises while shaking the box. He was completely depressed.
There was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come on." Remus said not taking any energy to get up.
"Hello Lupin I'm bringing you your after effects potion." Professor Snape said as he walked into Remus' room.
"Thank you very much." Remus said as he took the vile from Snape's hand and drank it down.
Snape and Remus had became friends within the last year. After they really got close while working in the Order. They worked out their differences and were trying to be friends. At time Snape was still rude and annoying, but he could be really nice at times.
"Well. . .I see there is something more bothering you." Snape said.
"No I'm fine."
"Come on Lupin."
"Oh, ok I'm worried about Hermione and me getting married."
"Don't worry about it. If you are in love with her and want to spend the rest of your life with her you will be fine."
"Thanks and by the way how do you know about being married."
"Because I married a few years ago."
"To whom may I ask?"
"She used to be a student here. Her parents were never to thrilled with her marrying her teacher. They never liked me. We had a son together soon after marrying. She died when our son was 3 years old. Her parents took our son away from me and changed his name. After they moved and won't let me have any contact with him. I heard they moved to the States and want him to go to Maryland Academy of Magic."
"That was completely wrong of them."
"I know, but at least I know he is safe and well."
"How do you know?"
"Her sister writes me once a week."
"Well at least you have some type of information."
"Yes."
"What was and is his name?"
"His name was Samuel David Snape, but now his name is Luke T. James."
"How old is he?"
"He is 9 years old. Well Lupin I must get going. I'll talk to Miss. Granger and she will tell me how you are doing."
"Good day to you as well."

Hermione sat in Remus' classroom after finishing up with the last class. Tyren knocked on the door.
"Hello Hermione I came here for help with my Potions work."
"Oh yeah come to a desk and I'll be glad to help you." Hermione said.
"Thanks."
Tyren sat down and took some parchment, a quill, and some ink out of her bag. Also he took out her potions book. Hermione grabbed a chair at sat at the desk with Tyren.
"Well I have to write a foot on shrinking potions."
"Ok that should be simple." Hermione said.
"Hermione I heard a rumor and I wanted to know if it was true."
"Depends on what the rumor is."
"I heard that you fancy Professor Lupin."
"Well Tyren that is quite true." Hermione said blushing.
"Me too. He is really cute for a man his age." Tyren said.
"Very."
After 30 minutes Tyren was finished with her essay and she left the classroom. Hermione stayed sitting. She began to cry. Hermione did not know why she was crying. The tears just streamed down her face.
She thought about Remus and how much she loved him. Was it really love or was it just a crush? She thought hard. She remembered her little crush on Lockheart in her 2nd year, her little thing with Viktor Krum in her 4th year and her strange crush on Ron in 6th year. I mean was this a crush on really love.
She thought long and hard and found it was what she thought it was. It was completely love. She was completely in love with Remus J. Lupin.
Just then Ginny stormed into the classroom furious.
"What's wrong Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"I'm glad I found you. That greasy haired git Snape gave me detention!" Ginny screamed.
"Ok when?" Hermione asked.
"Tonight at 5 because my potion caught on fire."
"Wow." Hermione was amazed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny walked down to Professor Snape's classroom for her detention. She knocked on the door about 4 times before a voice called.
"Come in." said the sly voice of Professor Snape. Ginny's stomach began to flip flop everywhere.
Ginny walked into the classroom and the door closed behind her. She jumped slightly. "I'm here for my detention."
"Ah, yes Miss. Weasley." Snape said as he stood up from his desk. "I want you to use this tooth brush and clean the floor, without magic."
"Yes sir." Ginny said. She took the tooth brush from his hand and began to scrub the floor.
An hour passed. Snape walked over to Ginny. Ginny was to angry to notice that he was behind her. Finally Snape coughed. Ginny stood up and turned around. He was directly behind her. The way they were standing was very close. Her stomach was turning. A few weeks before she had finally figured out that she had a crush on Professor Snape. Snape's hand went around Ginny's waist. Ginny starred up into his eyes as he stared in her eyes. Their lips came in together. The kiss became more passionate. Snape held onto Ginny tightly. Their lips came apart.
In a whisper type voice hovering away from one another's lips Ginny spoke, "Severus." The name just slid off her tongue nicely. The kiss continued. Ginny's hands went under his robes and under his shirt to fell his muscular chest.
"Ginny." He said softly against her lips. He lead her though a hidden door in his classroom that lead to a small common room and though another door, which was a bedroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione sat on the couch in her and Remus' common room. She sat reading a book. Remus was asleep when she returned to the room and so she did not want to wake him. The window was open and a small barn owl flew through and landed on the couch next to Hermione. She took the letter from the owl's leg and it few away.
She opened the letter, which was sealed with a Ministry of Magic seal.
Dear Miss Granger,
We are glad to tell you that we have considered your application for a Ministry Secretary when you graduate from school. With your fantastic grades and O.W.Ls we would want you to be a junior assistant to the minister. Even if you haven't taken your N.E.W.Ts we feel that you will do beyond expectations and we will be ready for you to take this job.
Sincerely,
Arthur Weasley
Minister of Magic
"Yes!!!" screamed Hermione and she jumped up. Hermione had never been this happy. How could she not be excited? This was wonderful. Even though Remus was sleeping she just had to tell him. She ran into Remus' bedroom and woke him up. "Remus, Remus wake up."
"What's wrong honey?" Remus asked as he lifted himself up in bed and wiped his eyes.
"When I graduate they want me to be the Junior Assistant to the Minister at the Ministry of Magic."
"Really that is wonderful darling." Remus said as he gave her a kiss.
"I know I can't wait to tell Ginny, Harry, and Ron."
"Well it's only 7:45 go tell them."
"Ok that's great."
Hermione left the room in a hurry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Harry, Ron." Hermione said excitedly as she came into the Gryffindor common room.
"Yeah." Ron said looking up from an essay he was working on fantastically without Hermione's help.
"Well your dad sent me a letter and they want me to be the Junior Assistant to the Minister." She said happily.
"Yeah he told me."
"Why didn't you tell me." Hermione said as she hit Ron in the arm.
"Because he wanted to send you an official letter from him as a surprise."
"Well that's great Hermione." Harry said.
"I know, where's Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"Remember she had detention with Snape." Harry said.
"Oh yeah." Hermione said.
"Well tomorrow in Hogsmedge we have to celebrate." Ron said.
"I can't because it was a full moon last night and I'm going to be with Remus." Hermione explained.
"Well we will sometime." Harry said.
"Hey all." Ginny said as she walked into the common room. Her hair was a complete mess and there were about 3 hickys on her neck.
"umm Ginny can I talk to you?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah where?" Ginny asked.
"In my old room." Hermione said as she just about dragged Ginny into her old room.
"What's wrong Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"What is that on your neck and your hair?"
"Oh my. I just met up with my ex Michel after detention."
"Virginia Cameron Weasley I know when you are lying. Now tell me the truth!"
"Ok I umm. . ."
"Well."
"I had did it with Professor Snape." Ginny whispered.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. I think I'm in love with him."
"Wow." Hermione was in shock.
"We started kissing and then it lead to something else."
"Well that actually is cool."
"I'm so not going to tell Ron because he is so going to freak."
"If you do I suggest to wait a while. Don't tell Harry now either."
"Don't worry I won't."

Hermione went to Remus' quarters to see Remus sitting in the living room talking to Snape. Hermione just smiled and walked into her bedroom.
I'm going to add a new relationship into this. Just see if you can spot it. I'm working very hard at this and so far my hard work is paying off. I will be slowing down a lot in September because I start school.
