Wordwiz: It's insane my family just got cable internet and my brother and sister have barely moved from the computer. I am finally able to use the computer so I'm updating.

The teachers watched everyday as Lupin and Hermione did even better than usual in class, any teacher would have been happy had it not been the price that they were paying. "Lupin looks worse then after a full moon!" McGonagall said.

"And what of Hermione?" Dumbledore questioned.

Snape was the first to speak up. "I believe that she has stopped eating...her weight has dropped badly." A few of the Professors looked his direction. "Am I not allowed to be worried about a student?" he said scathingly.

"Of course you are Severus," Dumbledore started, "It was just not expected of you to be worried about Mr. Lupin and Ms. Granger."

"That doesn't matter now." Professor Sprout said. "What matters is that since Ron attacked them they have refused to see each other. And the question should be what do we do about it."

"Of course." Snape said backing down slightly. "What do we do about it?"

The professors all looked absolutely dumbfounded. "We can't force them together it is after all Lupin's choice to stay away from her." Trelawny who had exited her tower, stated.

"Ron has been removed from they're classes, forced to sleep with the fourth years, and is escorted to all of his classes by a teacher...what more can we do?"

"That," Dumbledore said, "I do not know."

He called the meeting to a close seeing as classes would soon be starting and the teachers had to go prepare their lessons.

Transfiguration

"Mr. Blackmer would you be so kind as to pay attention in class?" He looked up from his note. "Bring that note here."

Lupin stood and shuffled to the front of the class. "Here." He tossed the note on her desk and walked slowly back to his seat. McGonagall opened the note and was astounded Hermione's name was written all over the paper in different ways. One had a heart but was scribbled out and beneath it said "he'll hurt her." She sighed and tucked the note into her desk. Lupin took out another piece of parchment and began writing all over again. Hermione...I miss you. He put his head down there she sat right across the room and he was afraid to look at her. I can't be happy.

He put his hand up, "May I go to the nurse Professor?"

"Of course," It was at this point that she got an idea, "I believe Ms. Granger can escort you."

"Yes ma'am." He stood and walked to the door. Hermione got up and followed him.

"Alex I—"She started.

"Don't talk to me Hermione. If Ron finds out he could hurt you." Lupin sped up and walked in front of her.

She grabbed his arm. "Please, Alex being ignored by you is worse than Ron hurting me."

"I...I can't," Lupin spun around and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Hermione I love you If Ron ever hurt you again I wouldn't be able to live with that."

Her eyes widened, "You said l-love."

"I know...I mean it Hermione with every fiber of my being I love you...and it hurts being away from you."

"Then don't hurt I am not afraid of Ron." She pulled him closer. It was the closest he had been to her in two months. "Being away from you hurts too much Alex."
His arms wrapped around her. Remus had no Idea how long they stood there in eachothers arms.

"I can't live without you, you are my only one." He pulled away from her and instead of going to the nurse they walked together to lunch.

Lunch

A few people eyed them warily as the stepped into the Great Hall. Lupin's arm was around Hermione's waist. They took they're place next to Harry. "Hello Harry." Lupin said cheerily.

"Hi...what are you doing...I thought you had split up." Harry said sounding slightly confused.

"We had." Hermione started.

"Because Ron had us scared...but not anymore." Lupin released his hold on Hermione in order to eat.
Ron walked by and began to grumble, Dean who had been assigned to watch him during lunch pushed him forward. "Shut it Ron." Ron quieted and passed

Common Room: After classes

The rest of the day passed Hermione and Lupin sat on the couch cuddling. They had no homework because they were a week ahead of the rest of the class. Remus sighed and kissed Hermione's forehead. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." Hermione put her head to his chest. They sat there very content until a very flustered looking McGonagall stormed in. "Mr. Blackmer have you lost your wits completely!" She said

"I –" He tried to speak but was cut off.

"Don't you know what day it is?" Her voice rose in frustration and anger.

"Oh..." He jumped up off of the couch. "I have to go Hermione I'll see you tomorrow." With that he kissed her on the head and walked out of the common room.

Harry sat down next to her. "I wonder what that was about." Hermione still looked perplexed until her eyes landed on a moon chart.

"I think I know what's wrong." She said picking up the parchment. "It's the full moon."

"That's not possible." Harry said grabbing the chart.

"Well has he ever been sick before?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah all...the...time." Harry said. "You really think you've been dating a werewolf?"

"I-I don't know. Dumbledore let a werewolf in before maybe he did it again." She said, "Harry can I borrow your invisibility cloak?"

He looked at her seriously. "You're not going to do anything stupid are you?"

"Of course not. I just want to see if its true." Harry nodded and ran up to the boys dorms. In a few minutes he came back with the cloak in hand. Hermione reached out to take it but Harry pulled it away. "I'm going with you."

"Harry I can handle the situation." She said.

"I don't care I'm still going." He tossed the cloak over himself, "Come on Hermione."

With a slight frown she stepped under the cloak. Together they walked through the castle and were almost to the grounds when they came upon a wolf sniffing at the statues. "I think he's had the wolfs bane potion." Harry said.

"I think so too." The wolf came closer sniffing the air now. "He smells us Harry." The wolf was only a few feet in front of them when Madame Pofrey rounded the corner. "I thought I told you not to leave the infirmiry."
The wolf snapped to attention. "Come on we had better get back before anyone sees you." She walked away, the wolf looked at them before turning to follow.

The next day

Hermione sat at the table she looked toward the door every few seconds. "Hermione," Harry started, "He'll be here don't worry about it." She nodded and tried to eat but looked again toward the doors.

"Here he comes." She said. Lupin reached them and sat next to Hermione.

"Hey." He began to eat.

"Alex...I need to talk with you." Hermione said.

"Okay what about." He smiled

She looked to Harry and back to Lupin. "We, that is to say Harry and I know about everything."

"You do," He sighed thinking that they knew who he was. "We I guess If you know then—"

"We don't mind you being a werewolf Alex." Harry said.

"No of course not. Actually we already know a werewolf." She said.

"You do." Lupin was confused. It was only after a minute that he figured out they didn't know his real name.

"Yes, and he is a perfectly wonderful person." Hermione said smiling.

They spent a good amount of time talking Remus laughing to himself the entire time.
