Wordwiz: I love getting All the reviews...a few people were surprised with the kiss. I just hope people will like the direction I go with this story so I'm going to write now okay.

Remus had been avoiding Hermione for a week, which, considering the fact that they shared classes was quite an accomplishment. He stuck his head into the transfiguration class. "Harry is Hermione here yet?"

"No. She was studying at the library last I saw her." He said.

Remus walked into the classroom, and sat at the back, "I'll talk to you later at the quidditch pitch." He said and quickly hid behind a book. A few moments later Hermione walked in smiling closely followed by McGonagall. "Today we will be transfiguring cats into clocks." She stopped and counted the students. "Partner up."

"Alex." Hermione said.

"Sorry Mione I'm with Harry." He smiled and moved to the front.

"But," Ron started, "I was going to-"

Lupin cast a pleading look at him. "Fine, I guess I could use Hermiones help." As Remus sat down he mouthed a silent Thank you to Ron.
Professor McGonagall called the class to attention and instructed them on how to use the spell. "Lets see." Remus cast the spell perfectly.

"Geez," Harry said, "You and Hermione would make a perfect couple."

"Please don't say that." He said turning a very disgruntled cat back to normal.

Harry looked questioningly at him, "Why don't you want me to say that?"

"Just don't." he said.

"Whatever." Harry attempted the spell. The cat turned into a clock with four furry legs. "I just can't think strait today."

"What's on your mind?" Remus said.

"I guess just everything." He said.

"Yeah that doesn't narrow the subject down." He said jokingly.

Something in Harry's eyes was wary, "If I tell you something can you keep it a secret?"

"Of course I can." Remus said,

"I know you probably have no idea what a prophecy is but---"

"What about the prophecy?" he asked before realizing that it wasn't wise.

"You know about it?" Harry almost looked untrusting for a moment.

"My parents told me what they were guarding." Making things up was beginning to get on his nerves.

"Oh well there was one about me, It said I will have to fight Voldermort...and that only one of us will live."

Remus sat back in his chair so that was the prophecy...interesting. He fixed Harry's cat clock right before McGonagall walked by. "It seems that you have all grasped the concept of this spell rather well," She said walking toward the front. "As a reward there will be no weekend homework."
The class cheered, "Well then Class dismissed."

"See you later Harry," he looked over his shoulder and saw Hermione approaching, "I'll Talk to you later...I've got studying to do." With that he ran from the room just as Hermione reached the desk.

Two hours later: the common Room

"Alex Blackmer!"

His eyes went wide; he began to gather his books at record pace. "Oh no you don't!" Hermione slammed her books in front of him. "Why won't you talk with me?"

"I plead the fifth." Remus said.

"This isn't the United States those laws don't apply here." She dragged him over to the couch.

"Hermione I really don't think we need to talk about this." He said trying to stand up.

She grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down. "Oh yes we do. You have been skipping meals and avoiding me in class."

"I have every right to avoid you." Remus said.

"You need food." She almost yelled. Many of the first years were packing their books and heading for the dormitories. "I know the way to the kitchen." Remus said.

"Why haven't you talked to me since we kissed?" she asked her grip on his wrist tightening.

"Wait a minute you kissed me." Lupin said

"You kissed back!" She tightened her grip even more.

"OW OW OW LET GO!!!"

She gasped and let go of him. "That hurt." He said accusingly. She walked over and took his hand. "Let me see." She turned his palm up. "It looks fine...but you might want to go to Madame Pomfrey anyway."

"Yeah." He got up. "You want to come with me?"

"I-I...why do you want me to go?" Hermione said.

Remus almost smiled. "I don't want the nurse to laugh when I tell her a girl nearly broke my wrist." Hermione laughed a little.

"Okay lets go." She got up and walked to the nurse with him.

At the Nurse

Madame Pomfrey looked at his wrist. "What happened?"

"I squeezed his wrist...I was a little angry at him." Hermione offered.

"That is amazing," Madame Pomfrey looked at her. "You must have some strength, I'm afraid she put a hairline fracture in your wrist Mr. Blackmer."

"Sorry Alex." She said.

"That's all right...I mean as long as it can be fixed." He said turning to Madame Pomfrey.

"Of course it can be fixed." She muttered the spell, "Twist your wrist."

Remus did so.

"Wiggle your fingers."

Again he did what she asked. "Okay your all fixed up."

"Thank you." He stood up from the bed and began to exit. "Oh and Mr. Blackmer tomorrow night."

"Yeah I'll be here." He nodded and walked out the door.

Hermione caught up to him. "What was that about?" she grabbed his hand. "Why do you have to be here tomorrow night?"

"No reason." He laced his fingers through hers. "Don't worry about it."

They walked to the Common room hand in hand. "I guess I'll see you in the morning." She finally let his hand go.

"Hermione, I'm sure that I wasn't supposed to but I liked kissing you. I like you." He pulled her close to him and kissed her forehead. "I'll see you in the morning." Without another word he walked to the dorms leaving a fiercely pink Hermione standing by the fire.

Wordwiz: I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I know I'm having fun writing the story. And once again the plot thickens. Well I guess that's all for now bye
