Sorry about the long wait between chaps 5 & 6 but I'm gonna put loads of chaps up before I go away on hols next week so keep checking back. Please keep r/r! Your reviews keep me writing guys! :)
Hermione awoke to the soothing sensation of a healing draft being poured onto her aching side. She opened her eyes and found Remus at her side. A firm hand over the wound on her stomach, Hermione could feel immense warmth coming from him. She liked it; it made her feel secure, knowing he was there at her side.
"Are you okay?" She asked him.
Remus turned to her, smiling and clearly overjoyed that she was awake and alert as ever.
"Fine. You?" He asked.
"Fine. Curious, but fine."
"Curious?" He enquired, eyebrows raised. Remus was always gorgeous when he raised his eyebrows like that. It never failed to make Hermione's stomach jump with glee. "Anything you want to ask? I'll answer it right now."

"First, why did I wake up in a bed? I didn't go to sleep in one..."
"You fell asleep in the kitchen while I was talking to Dumbledore. I found you out for the count on the dining table and levitated you upstairs."
"And the clothes laid out for me this morning?"
"Gomby's idea. Couldn't have you wandering around in you nightwear all day, could we?"
***
Hermione blushed so much she felt her face would burn to cinders. She giggled. Remus leant over Hermione and she pulled him to her. He kissed her gently and was going to break off. But Hermione stopped him, pulling him closer still. They engaged in a very passionate kiss and lingered at each other's lips before continuing the discussion.
***
"Did you get the letter?"
"What letter?" Remus asked, confused.
"This letter, Mr Lupin, sir!" Gomby piped up. Hermione hadn't realized he was there. She felt a little embarrassed, having completely snogged Remus with him in the room.
***
Remus recognized the writing on the letter. He shuddered and opened it up. One look at it and he threw it to the ground. Gomby picked it up.
It was from Courtney, his only daughter, daddy's little girl. Remus stormed from the room and slammed the door behind him.
***
Hermione sat up in bed, bemused at the situation. A minute ago Remus and her had been chatting and kissing and now he had left her to heal without another word. She looked to Gomby, who was reading the letter and muttering to himself:
"Oh no, oh no... Poor Mr Lupin, poor Young Master Matthew... Oh no, oh no, oh no!"
"Let me see that, Gomby..." She said gently.
Gomby's wide eyes surveyed Hermione. He smiled warmly, pushing his little glasses back up the bridge of his nose. He passed her the letter.

Dear Dad,
I suppose Matt told you I'm in Calais. I've decided I don't want to see you at all this summer. So don't bother writing back. In fact, only write back if you're dying, or if Matt or Gomby's dying. Otherwise I don't want to know at all...
Sorry I didn't come visit you at Christmas, but I thought you and Matt would be cosy and all, with it being the transformation. I still can't believe Matt speaks to you.
After all, you've cursed him for life haven't you? Well done, Dad, you ruined all of our lives that night.
Mum, Jake, Mine and Matt's. Talk about killing two birds with one stone... And knocking two more out on the ricochet...
You could have saved us all you callous bastard,
Courtney Lupin.

Hermione dropped the letter. She felt weak from the healing draft. She lay down onto her pillow and fainted.
Okay, a shorter chapter as promised, but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. More cliff-hangers! Ahhh, I just love to keep you guessing. All your questions are answered in my other stories, so please read them and you shall find enlightenment. (I sound like a bad advert for Yoga classes don't I? Ahhh well...)
Previews!!!!!!
Chapter Eight:
A Reply, A Confrontation, A Desperate Man, A Night Alone ("Finally!" I hear you say! ;) ),
