Chapter 10.
The five were always talking and plotting pranks to pull on Slytherins. It was bit funny actually. Lily started to give James, Sirius, Remus and Peter lectures for being a bad influence on Hermione. The five would laugh and keep at it. Hermione was having so much fun that she almost forgot that she was from the future and she didn't belong in the past. And it was around the Christmas season when things really started to change.
The halls were highly decorated with the Christmas spirit. James and Sirius was going to go home to spend Christmas. Peter was going home too. But Remus was staying. His family was going to visit some more of his family and he decided he didn't want to go. James invited Hermione to spend Christmas with his family but she decided that she wanted to keep Remus company so she was staying. So off they went.
Remus was looking abit pale again. And Hermione reliezed that the full moon was approaching again. She didn't relieze that the full moon was going to be on New Year's Eve. She just smiled abit and decided to talk to Remus about letting her join him that night. "I don't know, Swift. I just don't want to take any risks." He whispered to her during Arithmancy. She shrugged. "To take such a risk would the fun of it." She whispered back. Remus looked at her then smiled. "That is exactly what Sirius would say." he said. Hermione smiled back.
In fact in the future, she remembered, that is what Sirius said to Harry. She just happened to be in the same room when he said that. Hermione smiled and paid attention to the last class that they had before Christmas break would start.Hermione and Remus was wishing everyone good bye. They were going home for the break. Lily hugged Hermione. "Are you sure you don't want to come stay with me? My parents are muggles and you would be more than welcome to stay." She said. Hermione shook her head."Don't worry about me. I'll just stay home with Uncle Dumbledore." She said. Lily laughed abit and nodded. "I guess your right. Happy Christmas." She said and climbed into the carriage. The two sixth years watched their friends leave.
Then the two walked back into the warm castle. They spent most of the time reviewing for O.W.L.'s and doing their homework together. And sometimes they would have a go at Wizarding chess although Hermione was very terrible at it. She never really played and so Remus was teaching her some very good moves.
They were almost the only Gryffindors staying at Hogwarts. Hermione spent most of her time writing in her diary. It was abit like Tom Riddle's diary. Whatever she wrote, the words would disappear and wouldn't show up unless you knew the password. And Hermione had a special password for her diary. Soon it was Christmas Eve and that's when things really started to change.
Hermione was sitting on the couch just at dusk thinking about Harry and Ron. She felt tears pouring down her face. She missed them alot. Ron would be sulking abit just because he would recieve a maroon jumper from his mother just like he did every year. Harry would laugh and eat chocolate frogs Hagrid usually sent him. She even missed Crookshanks, although she remembered how grumpy he got when she tied tinsel around his neck. But she did that only to tease her orange cat.
As Hermione sat there hugging her blanket tighter around her, she didn't relieze that someone had heard her from the boy's dorms and came to find out what was wrong. Remus looked around the wall as he climbed down the stairs and stepped closer. He could see her crying on the couch in her arms. Remus looked around and went closer. "Hermione?" he asked.
Hermione jerked her head sitting up. "Remus? Did I wake you? I'm so sorry." She said wiping her tears away. Remus went around and sat next to her. "No. You didn't wake me. Are you sure your okay?" He asked. Hermione sighed and stared into the flames. "I just miss Harry and Ron." She said without thinking.
Her eyes went wide and she slapped her hand over her mouth. Remus cringed abit. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that." He said. Hermione smiled faintly. She decided that she did want to talk about it. "It's alright. It's not like your not going to meet them." she said. Remus looked at her and tilted his head with curiousity. He figuared that he did want to know. "Who are they? One of them your boyfriend in the future?" He asked curiously.
Hermione smiled and shook her head. "No. I'm single. No one would dare go out with me. No one liked me because I was too busy into books and not looks." She said. Remus looked at her. "Your not bad looking if that's what you think. I'll be very honest. Your alot prettier than you think." he commented.Hermione looked at him then felt herself blush. "Thanks. Any way, Harry and Ron are my best friends. In fact.......I don't know if I should say this but Harry is James and Lily's son." She said.
Remus's jaw fell. A look of surprise came across his face. "James and Lily's? So they get married, huh?" He asked. Hermione nodded. "Harry looks exactly like James. I swear when I first laid eyes on James, I swore it was him." She said with a small laugh. Remus smiled brightly. He was happy that Hermione was looking cheerier. "So......what about Sirius, Peter and me? Did you know us too?" He asked. Hermione bit her lip. "You remember that night when I told you guys the truth and how I said I only knew three of you in the future?" She asked. Remus nodded. "Yeah." he said.
Hermione swallowed hard. "Well, I knew you first. Then Sirius and then Peter. You were our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in our third year." She said. Remus snorted with a surprised laugh. "Me? A teacher? You've got to be joking." He said laughing.
Hermione smiled and shook her head. "Not at all. You were the best teacher we had. I swear it too. The worst teacher we had was Professor Umbridge but you don't want to know about that." She said. Remus looked at her. "Do you mean Dolores Umbridge?" He asked. Hermione looked at him. "Yes. You know her?" She asked. Remus gave her a look as if that was obvious. "She was here only a few years ago. I'm not big on swearing or anything. But she is the biggest bitch the world has."
Hermione laughed abit. "You've got that right." She said. Remus laughed with her. "So what about Sirius and Peter?" He asked. Hermione frowned. She remembered everything about them. Even that Sirius dies. She looked away. "I can't tell you everything." She said. Remus nodded with a small smile. "I know." He said.
Hermione then had a flash image of Draco Malfoy again. She jerked her head and covered her eyes. Remus sat up straight. "Mione? What's wrong?" He asked.
Hermione shook her head tears filling her eyes. She could feel his hands all over her again. "No. Leave me alone." She whispered. Remus put his hand on her shoulder making her jump. She looked frightened up at him. "Hermione?" Remus asked. Hermione threw her arms around Remus's chest and hugged him. He was startled just like James was that one night. He was looking down at the crying girl. "He haunts my dreams. Always touching me. Calling me mudblood." Hermione cried softly.
Remus hugged her abit. "Who?" He asked. Hermione sniffed into his chest. "Draco Malfoy. He's trying to hurt me again in my dreams." She cried lowly. Remus sighed with sympathy. "Don't worry, Swiftstar. He won't hurt you. I won't let him." He said. Hermione looked up at him.
Her eyes caught something above them. So she pulled away abit and looked up. It was Peeves grinning with a mistletoe in his hand. "Kissy, kissy under the missytoe." He sang. Remus looked up and went bright red. Hermione laughed wiping her tears away. The two looked at each other blushing furiously. "Well.....it is the law of the mistletoe." Remus said. Hermione stared up into his eyes. His beautiful blue eyes. She was so enchanted by him.
She had always wondered what it would be like to kiss Remus. Well here was her chance. She pressed her lips against his. That was then fireworks flew. Her heart started to pound harder. It was the same for Remus. His hand went to the back of her neck wanting her to come closer.
There was a cackle and Peeves blew away. Hermione couldn't pull away. Niether could Remus. Their eyes on each others. They were stuck like that untel Remus did pull away. He turned his head away. Hermione blushed maddly and looked away.
After a moments silence, they looked at each other again. Both just yearned for more. Hermione smiled at him and he smiled back. Their lips pressed against each others again. Hermione layed back against the arm of the couch pulling Remus with her.
They kissed softly then their mouths parted. Remus slid his tongue in and they kissed the fire of passion. Hermione's hand ran through his hair. Remus's hands wandered abit to Hermione's hips but didn't go any lower. He breathed against her beautiful lips then pulled away abit just looking down at her. Hermione smiled up at him. "Hermione, your so beautiful. Really you are. I wish I could keep you." He said.
Hermione smiled forgetting everything right now. She didn't care. It was just her and Remus. She reached up and brushed his bangs out his face. "You can." She whispered. Remus smiled at her then met her lips again. They curled up together on the couch. A blanket over them. Remus's arms around her. They fell asleep like that for the rest of the night.
Hermione was the first one awake. The room was dim with the blue light slowly lighting up the room. She felt Remus's arm around her and she turned abit. She smiled seeing his hansome face. He was soundly asleep looking so peaceful. Hermione reached up and pushed his bangs out of his face. His eyes lightly opened and he smiled even more at her. They remembered the night before too well. It felt so right to just lay there together for hours.
"Happy Christmas, Remus." Hermione whispered. Remus smiled abit more.
"Happy Christmas, Hermione." He replied.
They gazed at each other for a minute. Hermione wanted to kiss him again. So she did. Remus took her kiss and hugged her closer.
After five minutes of another make out session, they both got up. Moving over to the christmas tree they found their presents. Hermione smiled as she sat next to Remus. They began going through each present.
Hermione had recieved an advanced spell book with difficult spells from Lily. There was a note saying since she liked to read so much she could read on how to do some more spells.
She also recieved a small box of pictures from James. He thought Hermione would like some memories of her new best friends of the past.
Sirius gave her an enchanted mirror that said crude things like, "You are one sexy babe" or "Hubba, hubba! Toil, boil and trubba!" She really did get a kick out of it.
Peter gave Hermione a set of new quills, parchment, evelopes, seal with HG for her name. The wax was red. And the all of them were personalized. H.G. Hermione was amazed that Peter would get her something like that. She really liked them too.
And the last thing she got from Remus was music box that played Greensleeves. It had a lovely fairy figuarine that danced on air while the music played. Hermione smiled at Remus and gave him a thankful kiss. "Thank you so much." She said cheerfully.
Remus was looking at a painting that Hermione did herself. "You painted this?" He asked. Hermione looked at it. "Yes. Do you like it?" She asked.
It was of five different animals in the forest during the winter. A clear winters night with bright stars and full moon. The wolf was on a high rock howling up at it. A stag was standing abit below on the other side of a reflecting stream. It held it's head high as it gazed up at the moon. A black dog right next to the stag's side. A small plump rat sitting next to the wolf looking up at it. In the stream was an otter just sitting on it's back looking upward. All eyes were on the full moon or the wolf. At the very bottom was an inscription. It said: Star Light, Star Bright.
Remus smiled. "I love it. Your very good, Swiftstar." He said. Hermione blushed abit and leaned against him. He put his arm around her and they sat in each other's arms.
Just then an owl swooped in from the open window and dropped a letter on Hermione's lap. The owl landed on the couch. Remus smiled. "Hey, that's Merlin, the Potter's owl. Looks like we both got a letter from James."
Hermione turned around and gave the letter to him. Remus tore the letter open and looked it over. His smile faded. Hermione stared. "Remus?" She asked. Remus looked up at her. He held it out to her. So she took it and read it.
Dear Remus and Hermione,
Happy Christmas. I hope your having a wonderful time right now with your presents and all. I am too actually.
Look, something happened just the other day. A day ago anyway. Sirius showed up on my family's door step. He's ran away from home. Apparantly he had a very nasty row with his father and mother. He looked quite beat up actually. Mr. Black must have taken a few swings at him after a few things Sirius said. It took us awhile trying to calm him down though. I have never seen Sirius cry like he did. I would just tease him about it but this ain't not laughing matter. Mr. Black had gave him a black eye and a bloody lip. He's doing alright now. Mum says he's going to be staying with us for now on. Sirius isn't going to go home. He's no longer welcomed there. Sirius told us that it was because of what happened in Hogsmeade. That btch, Bellatrix really did rat on him for defending a 'Longbottom'. Anyway, he's doing much better. Dad got him cleaned up and he's doing alright.
Sirius says hi. I just wrote to you to let you know what happened. Happy Christmas and see you after New Year's.
James
Hermione remembered right there. Sirius had told Harry that he ran away from home in his sixth year. She sighed. "Poor, Sirius. I hope he's alright." Remus sighed with a shrug. "He should be. He's with James's family now. He always did say that he hated his family. It was because they treated him poorly. Called him a traitor because he was in Gryffindor. His mother was the worst. She was always so big on dark stuff and that." He said.
Hermione nodded. They both sat onto the couch and held each other. "So about New Year's Eve for the full moon." Hermione reminded Remus. He laid his head next to Hermione's. "I don't know, Swift. I just don't want to see you get hurt." He said. Hermione shook her head. "I won't. Besides I want to have fun too. Running around on the Hogwarts grounds in my animagus form. It'll be a first for me." She said. Remus smiled. "Alright. If you truely want to go." he said. Hermione nodded. They went down to christmas breakfast together.
It was now New Year's Eve. They were going to sneak out and go to the Dark Forest. The sun had set and it was just the two of them. They were running around in their animal forms. For some reason, Remus seemed more controlled with Hermione around. They watched the fireworks go off at the stroke of midnight. Hermione layed against Remus's chest between his front paws. His head laid next to her.
'This was alot of fun, Moony.' Hermione spoke to the werewolf in otterish.
The werewolf looked down at her and gave her a wolfish smile.
'Yeah. It was.' He told her.
They just laid there untel the moon went down then went back up to the castle hand in hand. They were in the common room making out again. Hermione felt like she truely loved Remus. She knew he loved her by the way he looked at her. Remus did love her. They just felt right together. Hermione went up to the boy's dorms with him and they looked out at the stars from the window. Hermione's eyes caught a shooting star just as Remus's did. They both looked at each other and smiled.
"Star light, star bright. First shooting star I see tonight. I wish you may, I wish you might. Grant me my wish I wish tonight." They both said.
Hermione closed her eyes and tried to think of a wish. But only one came. She wished that she could stay in Remus's arms forever. She opened her eyes and looked at Remus. He had his eyes closed still trying to think of a wish. Hermione smiled. She wanted to give him a kiss right there. So she reached up and placed her lips against his. His opened and he smiled between their kiss. He wrapped his arms around her. "So what did you wish?" He asked. Hermione bit her lip. "I might not come true if I tell you." She said innocently.
Remus shook his head. "Then again, it might." He said. Hermione smiled. "I wished I could be in your arms forever." She said hugging him. Remus ran his hand through her hair. "I wished the same thing." he said. Hermione looked up at him and smiled. They kissed again. Remus dragged her over to his bed and they laid down next to each other kissing. They began making out which only lasted for two hours.
The morning came. The sun was pouring through the window. Hermione felt Remus's fingers softly running along her back. She smiled and turned around. His eyes went to her's and he smiled. "Morning." He whispered. Hermione smiled up at him. "Morning." She whispered back. They kissed.
"So how did you sleep?" Remus asked with a cocked eyebrow. Hermione smiled and put her hands on his chest. "I slept heavenly. How about you?" She asked. Remus kissed her neck. "I slept wonderfully myself." He said. Hermione then heard something. She quickly pushed the curtains open and looked out the window.
There were several carriages were coming. "Looks like everyone's returning today." Hermione said. Remus sat up. "Well we better get up then." He said. Hermione nodded. She hurried over to the girl's dorms. Remus took a shower in the boy's showers and pulled on his cloths.
The two met in the common room and sat down on the couchs. Hermione laid her legs across Remus's lap.They were just relaxing when the potrait was swung open. Both turned to see they're best friends enter. James, Sirius and Peter were laughing and dragging their trunks into the room. They turned their heads and saw Hermione and Remus. They all grinned happily. "Hey! How was your Christmas break? Did you get bored?" James asked walking closer with the other two.
Sirius still had a bit of a bruise on his cheek. Hermione felt like giving him a hug. "No. We weren't too bored. It certainly was quiet but it was alright." Remus said. Peter's eyes narrowed abit as he bent abit closer. "Hey, Hermione. What's that on your neck?" He asked pointing.
Hermione touched her neck where he was pointing at. Sirius and James bent closer. "It looks like a hickey." Sirius said. Hermione's eyes went wide and she looked at Remus. He was laughing under his hand. "Remus! I thought I told you no hickies!" She said smacking his arm softly. The other three's eyes went wide and smiles broke out. Remus was laughing harder. "Sorry, Swiftstar. I couldn't help it!" He said as Hermione pretended to strangle him.
They were all laughing. "So you two hooked up while we were gone, huh?" James asked slyly. Remus shrugged. "Couldn't help it." He said. Hermione saw Peter frown and looked at the ground. She rose her eyebrows. "Peter, what's wrong?" She asked. Peter blushed abit. "To be honest, I was hoping you'd go out with me sometime. But it looks like your not available right now." He said with a shrug. Everyone laughed. "Don't worry, Pete. You'll find someone new." Sirius said. Peter shrugged.
Hermione slid her hand into Remus's. "Anyway, we got your letter on Christmas. We're awefully sorry, Sirius." She said. Remus nodded. Sirius looked darkly away. "Don't bother feeling sorry for me. Be happy. I finally got away from that bitch I was forced to call mother. And her pimp, pricky husban." he said in a low growl. James shrugged running his hand through his hair. "Anyway, he's staying with my family untel he can get his own place." Remus nodded. "That'll be good for you both." He said. Hermione gave a nodded. "You'll have something to do over the summer." She told them.
Just then, the potrait opened and Lily crawled in dragging her trunk. James quickly went to help her. Everyone sat together and started to talk about their Christmas Break. Lily almost freaked when she learned Hermione and Remus were together. "Oh, you two were made for each other! I knew that you would hook up! I just knew it!" She said happily. Hermione and Remus laughed while holding hands. They shared a small kiss making Sirius howl with laughter. They decided to go down and eat some breakfast.

Lily hugged Hermione. "Are you sure you don't want to come stay with me? My parents are muggles and you would be more than welcome to stay." She said. Hermione shook her head."Don't worry about me.

It felt so right to just lay there together for hours.
"Happy Christmas, Remus." Hermione whispered. Remus smiled abit more.
"Happy Christmas, Hermione." He replied.
They gazed at each other for a minute. Hermione wanted to kiss him again. So she did. Remus took her kiss and hugged her closer.
After five minutes of another make out session, they both got up. Moving over to the christmas tree they found their presents. Hermione smiled as she sat next to Remus. They began going through each present.

Just then an owl swooped in from the open window and dropped a letter on Hermione's lap. The owl landed on the couch. Remus smiled. "Hey, that's Merlin, the Potter's owl. Looks like we both got a letter from James."
Hermione turned around and gave the letter to him. Remus tore the letter open and looked it over. His smile faded. Hermione stared. "Remus?" She asked. Remus looked up at her. He held it out to her. So she took it and read it.
Dear Remus and Hermione,
Happy Christmas. I hope your having a wonderful time right now with your presents and all. I am too actually.
Look, something happened just the other day. A day ago anyway. Sirius showed up on my family's door step. He's ran away from home. Apparantly he had a very nasty row with his father and mother. He looked quite beat up actually. Mr. Black must have taken a few swings at him after a few things Sirius said. It took us awhile trying to calm him down though. I have never seen Sirius cry like he did. I would just tease him about it but this ain't not laughing matter. Mr. Black had gave him a black eye and a bloody lip. He's doing alright now. Mum says he's going to be staying with us for now on. Sirius isn't going to go home. He's no longer welcomed there. Sirius told us that it was because of what happened in Hogsmeade. That btch, Bellatrix really did rat on him for defending a 'Longbottom'. Anyway, he's doing much better. Dad got him cleaned up and he's doing alright.
Sirius says hi. I just wrote to you to let you know what happened. Happy Christmas and see you after New Year's.
James
Hermione remembered right there. Sirius had told Harry that he ran away from home in his sixth year. She sighed. "Poor, Sirius. I hope he's alright." Remus sighed with a shrug. "He should be. He's with James's family now. He always did say that he hated his family. It was because they treated him poorly. Called him a traitor because he was in Gryffindor. His mother was the worst. She was always so big on dark stuff and that." He said.
Hermione nodded. They both sat onto the couch and held each other. "So about New Year's Eve for the full moon." Hermione reminded Remus. He laid his head next to Hermione's. "I don't know, Swift. I just don't want to see you get hurt." He said. Hermione shook her head. "I won't. Besides I want to have fun too. Running around on the Hogwarts grounds in my animagus form. It'll be a first for me." She said. Remus smiled. "Alright. If you truely want to go." he said. Hermione nodded. They went down to christmas breakfast together.
It was now New Year's Eve. They were going to sneak out and go to the Dark Forest. The sun had set and it was just the two of them. They were running around in their animal forms. For some reason, Remus seemed more controlled with Hermione around. They watched the fireworks go off at the stroke of midnight. Hermione layed against Remus's chest between his front paws. His head laid next to her.
'This was alot of fun, Moony.' Hermione spoke to the werewolf in otterish.
The werewolf looked down at her and gave her a wolfish smile.
'Yeah. It was.' He told her.
They just laid there untel the moon went down then went back up to the castle hand in hand. They were in the common room making out again. Hermione felt like she truely loved Remus. She knew he loved her by the way he looked at her. Remus did love her. They just felt right together. Hermione went up to the boy's dorms with him and they looked out at the stars from the window. Hermione's eyes caught a shooting star just as Remus's did. They both looked at each other and smiled.
"Star light, star bright. First shooting star I see tonight. I wish you may, I wish you might. Grant me my wish I wish tonight." They both said.
Hermione closed her eyes and tried to think of a wish. But only one came. She wished that she could stay in Remus's arms forever. She opened her eyes and looked at Remus. He had his eyes closed still trying to think of a wish. Hermione smiled. She wanted to give him a kiss right there. So she reached up and placed her lips against his. His opened and he smiled between their kiss. He wrapped his arms around her. "So what did you wish?" He asked. Hermione bit her lip. "I might not come true if I tell you." She said innocently.
Remus shook his head. "Then again, it might." He said. Hermione smiled. "I wished I could be in your arms forever." She said hugging him. Remus ran his hand through her hair. "I wished the same thing." he said. Hermione looked up at him and smiled. They kissed again. Remus dragged her over to his bed and they laid down next to each other kissing. They began making out which only lasted for two hours.
The morning came. The sun was pouring through the window. Hermione felt Remus's fingers softly running along her back. She smiled and turned around. His eyes went to her's and he smiled. "Morning." He whispered. Hermione smiled up at him. "Morning." She whispered back. They kissed.
"So how did you sleep?" Remus asked with a cocked eyebrow. Hermione smiled and put her hands on his chest. "I slept heavenly. How about you?" She asked. Remus kissed her neck. "I slept wonderfully myself." He said. Hermione then heard something. She quickly pushed the curtains open and looked out the window.
There were several carriages were coming. "Looks like everyone's returning today." Hermione said. Remus sat up. "Well we better get up then." He said. Hermione nodded. She hurried over to the girl's dorms. Remus took a shower in the boy's showers and pulled on his cloths.
The two met in the common room and sat down on the couchs. Hermione laid her legs across Remus's lap.They were just relaxing when the potrait was swung open. Both turned to see they're best friends enter. James, Sirius and Peter were laughing and dragging their trunks into the room. They turned their heads and saw Hermione and Remus. They all grinned happily. "Hey! How was your Christmas break? Did you get bored?" James asked walking closer with the other two.
Sirius still had a bit of a bruise on his cheek. Hermione felt like giving him a hug. "No. We weren't too bored. It certainly was quiet but it was alright." Remus said. Peter's eyes narrowed abit as he bent abit closer. "Hey, Hermione. What's that on your neck?" He asked pointing.
Hermione touched her neck where he was pointing at. Sirius and James bent closer. "It looks like a hickey." Sirius said. Hermione's eyes went wide and she looked at Remus. He was laughing under his hand. "Remus! I thought I told you no hickies!" She said smacking his arm softly. The other three's eyes went wide and smiles broke out. Remus was laughing harder. "Sorry, Swiftstar. I couldn't help it!" He said as Hermione pretended to strangle him.
They were all laughing. "So you two hooked up while we were gone, huh?" James asked slyly. Remus shrugged. "Couldn't help it." He said. Hermione saw Peter frown and looked at the ground. She rose her eyebrows. "Peter, what's wrong?" She asked. Peter blushed abit. "To be honest, I was hoping you'd go out with me sometime. But it looks like your not available right now." He said with a shrug. Everyone laughed. "Don't worry, Pete. You'll find someone new." Sirius said. Peter shrugged.
Hermione slid her hand into Remus's. "Anyway, we got your letter on Christmas. We're awefully sorry, Sirius." She said. Remus nodded. Sirius looked darkly away. "Don't bother feeling sorry for me. Be happy. I finally got away from that bitch I was forced to call mother. And her pimp, pricky husban." he said in a low growl. James shrugged running his hand through his hair. "Anyway, he's staying with my family untel he can get his own place." Remus nodded. "That'll be good for you both." He said. Hermione gave a nodded. "You'll have something to do over the summer." She told them.
Just then, the potrait opened and Lily crawled in dragging her trunk. James quickly went to help her. Everyone sat together and started to talk about their Christmas Break. Lily almost freaked when she learned Hermione and Remus were together. "Oh, you two were made for each other! I knew that you would hook up! I just knew it!" She said happily. Hermione and Remus laughed while holding hands. They shared a small kiss making Sirius howl with laughter. They decided to go down and eat some breakfast.
A/N: So what did you think? Corny? Or was it alright?
