I think I did pretty well on my last one. Everyone please rate!!! Well here's the story!!! Oh, Lupin doesn't look like he does in the movie in my story. He's just plain ugly in the movie!

Oh, anything in italic means that it is what someone is thinking.

Chapter 2

"You what?!" Hermione screamed.

"Hermione, be quiet we're in the library!" Mercury said

"Sorry but, it sort of surprised me." Hermione replied

"So I've noticed." Mercury said.

"Why do you like him? You do know he's a teacher and he probably doesn't like you." Hermione said.

"Well, whether he likes me or not I still like him." Mercury replied with a grim look on her face.

"Don't look now but, here he comes." Hermione said.

Mercury started to turn around but thought better of it. She just stared at Hermione wanting to ask what she should do but her thoughts were interrupted.

"Miss Starr, can I talk to you in my office after dinner?"

Mercury nodded in reply.

When Lupin left Hermione came over. "Come on. Harry and Ron will be worrying about us."

"Well, see you tomorrow, Mercury!" Hermione said.

"Okay. Oh, don't worry I'll tell you everything he says!" Mercury replied.

It was after dinner and Mercury was anxious to get to Professor Lupin's office.

She knocked on the door. I hope he's in there. When Professor Lupin said for her to come in she came in quietly.

"You wanted to see me, professor?" Mercury asked

"Yes. Please sit" Professor Lupin replied.

Mercury sat down but, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She wasn't sure what he wanted. She was afraid she had done something wrong. I hope he didn't hear what I said to Hermione. I would be really embarrassed if he did.

"You don't have to worry. You aren't in trouble." Lupin said. It was as if he read her thoughts.

"Ok. It's just...well..." She tried to tell him but she didn't know how.

"I understand. Come with me we can talk outside.

On their way outside they didn't see anyone...thankfully. They didn't sit down to Mercury's surprise. They just kept walking.

"Mercury, I have something I need to tell you but I don't know how." Professor Lupin said.

"Professor, I need to tell you something, too." Mercury said quietly.

"Well, how about you tell me then I'll tell you. Ok?" Lupin said.

"Ok. Well, when I was talking to Hermione today in the library I was telling her my deepest secret. My deepest secret is...I like you professor."

"You do? Well that makes this somewhat easier." He said with a bit of relief.

"Your turn." Mercury said.

"Well, I'm a werewolf. I've been one since I was a child. I started searching for my mate when I started at Hogwarts. I didn't find my mate...but I have now. Mercury you're my mate."

"Wow. So does this mean you'll be my boyfriend?" Mercury said with a grin on her face.

"Of course!" Lupin said

They leaned toward each other and started kissing. When they pulled away from each other they just stood there gazing into each others eyes. Mercury looked up.

"Um, Remus." Mercury said looking frightened.

"Yes, Mercury. What's wrong?" Lupin asked

"It's a full moon" Mercury said.

"Mercury run back to the castle! Get out of here! I'll hurt you and I can't control myself!" Lupin said looking pale.

The last thing Lupin saw was Mercury running towards the castle. Towards safety.

Well that's the second chapter!! I hope you like it! Please r&r!!!!!
