The next morning Hermonie woke up to hear nothing but the shower running. She stretched in her bed, threw off the covers and grabbed her things for the shower. By the time she was done doing this Lily opened the door and let the steam come out of the bathroom from the hot shower she had just taken.

"Morning Hermonie," she said very brightly.

"Yeah," Hermonie replied. She was tired from the night before, on account that she was in Dumbledore's office for a while.

"Cheer up, it's the first day of classes!"

"Yeah, yeah, can I have the shower now?"

"Oh yes, sure," Lily said moving aside for Hermonie to get by.

"Thanks."

She headed into the shower and turned on the water. It was already warm; she woke up after a few minutes of standing there thinking of last nights events.

"Ugh, I'm really going to hurt Malfoy for sending me here, but then again, it's really nice to see Harry's parents alive and well. He looks so much like James; Professor Lupin was right in 3rd year, exactly like his father, but his eyes that are his mothers. Remus is so quiet, he's a very nice boy, very hansom, I love his eyes, and they're so cute on him with his sandy brown hair. No Hermonie, stop it this instant you will not think of Rem- Professor Lupin that way, just think Professor Lupin when ever you see him and you'll be fine, but he is cute, no stop it, NOW!!!"

"Why am I thinking of him like this," she said quietly.

"Because he's a sweet, smart, nice looking guy, it's pretty obvious that you like him."

"No Hermonie, think Professor Lupin," she thought as she was washing her face and hair. She heard a loud bang on the door.

"Hermonie, you okay in there," said a girl's voice that Hermonie didn't recognize.

"We've been knocking forever, open up this door," said Lily's concerned voice.

"Yeah just hold on let me get dressed and I'll be right out," Hermonie replied as she got out and in her clothes quickly, as she did so she fell and hit her head on the sink.

"Fudge and crackers, that one really hurt," she said under her breath as she rubbed her forehead and finished getting ready. She draped a towel around her hair and went out of the bathroom so the other girls could get ready.

"'Bout time, its been like, a half an hour," a girl with blonde hair said.

"This is Alex," Lily introduced, "Alex, this is Hermonie."

"Do you always take that long in the bathroom, if so I need to get up earlier," said a not too pleased Alex.

"Sorry Hermonie, Alex isn't a morning person," Lily said.

"It's okay Lily, and no I usually don't take that long, I just spaced off for a while, I'm sorry," Hermonie answered.

"Good," Alex said and marched off into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

"She's really a good person," Lily said to try to defend her friend, "she's just not in a great mood." Hermonie shrugged and walked over to the mirror in the room. She took the towel off her head and brushed out her hair. It came out smoothly and with a flick of her wand her hair was dry and had curls forming down her back, like it was the night before. She used a little cover up to make her black and blue circle on her forehead from showing too much and used a little bit of eye liner and mascara to make her chocolate brown eyes light up more. When she was fully ready she went down to the common room where she saw James, Sirius, Remus, and of coarse, the tag along, Peter. They were all looking at something on the table very closely and talking in hushed voices. She walked over to them and saw what they were looking at.

"Wow he smells good, no Hermonie stop," she thought as she was looking over Remus shoulder. "The map, wow its been a while sense I've see this one," she thought, thinking of the last time her, Harry, and Ron used that map, when she was interrupted by someone saying her name.

"Now Moony, if you keep this all day you will be able to see where Hermonie goes and hopefully run into her some time, but we also don't know her schedule so she could be in every class with you for all we know," Sirius whispered. The map was shut at the moment so no one could tell Hermonie was behind them.

"Right, thanks Padfoot," Remus said, "Wonder where she is right now." Hermonie's heart jumped, she had to move and quickly. She dashed to the stairs as she heard Remus say 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good,' when map came in play, they saw she was halfway to them. Remus shot around as the others looked up to her. Peter's face was very pale, and Sirius' almost black eyes turned dark and cold, like when he was older, James just looked amazed. She smiled and blushed a little.

"Hey guys," she said, trying to act like she didn't hear a word they just said.

"Um, hey Hermonie," James said. Sirius' eyes turned back to normal and Hermonie was thankful for that. It scared her when he got mad when he was older.

"You guys are up pretty early, what's up?"

"Just waiting for breakfast," Sirius recovered, they all nodded. "Which by the looks of it should be starting now, come on guys, I'm starving!" Hermonie smiled warmly at this, Sirius would never change, food was his second priority next to his friends. He smiled back and grabbed her by the waist and led her to the portrait to go out. Remus felt a shock of jealousy go though his body.

"Don't worry Moony, she doesn't fall for those kind of things," he said hopefully in his mind. For Hermonie, it did feel good up against Sirius' built body.

"This is wrong, he's Harry's Godfather," she thought and pushed him away. Remus smiled to himself while he looked down and Sirius looked hurt.

"Aw, come on, Hermonie," he said in a playful, whiney voice, once again opening his arm up for her to go into.

"No thanks Sirius, I think I'll pass," she said closing his arm as they walked out of the common room and down to the Great Hall.

Breakfast was good, like always, Hermonie got over the fact that the house elves were happy where they were. Sirius and Remus where on either side of her and James and Peter were across the table, as well as Lily when she came down. Soon the owl's came to drop the mail when James got the Daily Prophet.

"Looks like You-Know-Who found some more supporters," James said.

"That man needs to be stopped before he destroys everything," Lily said concerned.

"You mean Voldemort, right," she asked? They all looked at her like she was crazy.

"Fear of a name only brings the fear of the thing it self," she said matter-of-factily, pushing her hair back, now making her bruise visible.

"Hermonie what happened," Remus asked now noticing the bruise.

"Nothing," Hermonie replied quickly as she moved her hand to her head, touch the bruise and winced. Remus noticed this and reached his hand to the one on her head and moved it to see the bruise once again.

"If those Slytherns did anything, I'm gonna jinx them into next week," said an over protective Sirius.

"They didn't do anything Siri- ouch," Hermonie said as Remus moved his hand over her bruise.

"Sorry 'Moine," Remus said blushing a bit and removing his hand. She was then reminded of Ron and Harry because that's what they call her.

"Yeah, It's okay," she said snapping out of her trance.

"So really how did you get that," Peter's squeaky voice asked.

"It doesn't matter," she said blushing because she didn't want to tell them how she did it.

"No Hermonie, really," Remus asked concerned?

"Fine," she said giving up, "I fell," she continued under her breath.

"Oh," they all said. Just then they got their schedules.

"What do you got, Hermonie," Remus asked a little too fast.

"Um hold on and I'll actually get a look at mine." She replied. Remus blushed. "Potions, Expert Transfiguration, Expert DADA, Astronomy, and Care of Magical Creatures," she finished.

"We have every class together," he said excitably. Hermonie looked from him to Sirius to James to Peter and then to Dumbledore, who was looking at her smiling and winked.

"Why is he doing this to me?"

"Because Hermonie, you could change his future," Dumbledore's voice rang out in her mind. "He could be your Professor for more than just one year if you don't let Severus into that tunnel, and you know what tunnel I am talking about, for you have been there before."

"But Professor, I'm not suppose to alt-,"

"I know very well that you are not suppose to alter the future, but this could be a good change," he finished making his point. Nodding back to have her get into the conversation with her new friends before anything could happen to make them see she was from the future.

"Yeah, its brilliant, isn't it," she replied getting back in the conversation? Remus stood up and held out his hand.

"Walk you to class?" She looked up at the head table to Dumbledore once again and he winked and she turned back to look at Remus.

"That would be great," she said as she touched his hand and felt a shock go through her body. They both blushed.

"Don't even start it Hermonie Jane Granger, don't even think about the very attractive guy with his beautiful blue eyes and his sandy brown hair in front of you and your holding his hand right now, ugh I'm doing it again," Hermonie thought as Remus was thinking;

"O my God I have a very attractive, beautiful, smart, kind girl holding my hand! Okay Remus, calm down it's just helping her up, don't get nervous, and what ever you do stop blushing!" Hermonie stood up with the help of Remus' hand and linked her arm with his and carried her books with the other. Remus couldn't keep him self from blushing. Hermonie blushed along with him and they finally made their way out of the Great Hall and into the dark, damp Potions classroom. Hermonie looked around; it was the same as it was in the future. Remus went to a table in back and put his books down and started to head to the front, hoping he would ask her to sit with him and of coarse, he did.

"Hermonie you can sit with me if you want!" She smiled warmly at him.

"Of coarse I will, Remus," she said pulling out the chair for herself. It was quiet for a few moments while they were setting up their things, that is until Hermonie broke it.

"So Remus, you like Potions," Hermonie asked?

"Are you kidding me? I hate it, I just thought I should take the class just incase I needed it for what I may do in the future because I don't know what I want to be just yet, you like it?"

"Not really, my old Professor hated the Gryffin---tigers, Gryffintigers, so it wasn't really worth it," she told him catching herself.

"Oh," he said eyeing her carefully.

"Wow she's got a nice body," he thought stopping at her chest area.

"Is he looking where I think he's looking," Hermonie asked herself?

"Remus stop you cant do this to her you barely know her," he screamed in his mind, making himself stop as the other students filled the classroom, he looked away and blushed. The Professor came in and the class went silent. He introduced himself as Professor Snorks and told them the guidelines for that class. They were let out and Remus and Hermonie went to their Transfiguration class where James and Sirius sat together in the back and Remus and Peter sat in front of them. Lily then came in.

"You want to sit with be Hermonie?"

"Sure Lily, that would be great," Hermonie answered as they headed up to the front of the room. Remus felt bad leaving Hermonie alone until Lily came. He would have to make it up to her later for just then Professor McGonagol came into the class from her office.

"Welcome class to your final year at Hogwarts, remember that your N.E.W.T's are this year and you should plan to start studying soon." The class groaned at this, that is all except Hermonie and Lily, whose faces lit up. McGonagol talked about the N.E.W.T.'s for a lot of the class and covered what they would be doing this year. The class was over and they all piled into the Great Hall for lunch. Sirius once again filled his plate and started digging in, James followed Sirius' lead, as well as Peter. Remus picked at his food trying to figure out how he could make up leaving Hermonie in Transfiguration class.

"Okay, Hermonie's a nice, smart girl, she has Astronomy, so maybe I could make it up to her by taking James' invisibility cloak and take her up there to look at the stars more closely. Yeah that's it Remus, she'll like that."

"Remus, you okay," came Hermonie's soft voice whispering in his ear that snapped his train of thought.

"Oh yeah, just thinking," Remus quickly responded.

"Really? What were you thinking about," Hermonie asked.

"How beautiful you would look under the light of the stars."

"About our Astronomy class tonight, maybe I could take you back up there to look more closely at the stars," he asked silently?

"No Hermonie, say no. But you know you want to. No I can't he's Professor Lupin. But right now he's innocent Remus, it won't hurt. No!"

"Sure, that would be fun."

"Why'd I just say that?" she thought, "Because you like him Hermonie."

"Great," Remus said excitably, "maybe I'll meet you in the common room at 12?"

"Sure.'

"Well see you in DADA, I'm going to go to the Library."

"We haven't gotten any homework yet Remus."

"I know, I'm just going to look some things up real quick, bye," and he was off to the library in a flash. Hermonie sat there and picked at the rest of her food.

"Why am I falling for him, why'd I say yes to star gazing, its only going to make me like him more!"

Remus was now heading to the library to find out how to make a girl like him. He could of gone to Sirius but he would over do it so the best way he thought would be to get information from a book. He stepped into the library and looked at the books covers for the right name that would get him a lot of information only in one book he saw one that and pulled it out of the shelf. It read 'Ways to charm a girl'. He skimmed over the first few pages "One way to charm a girl is to look nice and to make sure you show her you like her being there with you. Second," he read, "you want to make her happy, enjoy things that she likes. Third, ladies always go first." This was enough for Remus, he grabbed the book and checked it out himself when the Liberian wasn't looking and ran out of there and went to his DADA class room and took a seat on the far back corner so no one would see him. He was hoping James or Peter would sit by him that way he could continue reading the book he just got before he met Hermonie that night. His wish came true; Peter came to sit by him.

"Hey, what are you reading?"

"A book, pay attention to class," the professor came just came in and started introducing himself as Remus kept reading his book. Hermonie looked up once in a while to look at Remus, who yet hadn't removed his eyes from the book he was reading.

"Wonder what he's reading that is so good to not pay attention in class," she asked herself? Soon class was over and they went outside for their Care of Magical Creatures class. Remus still had his nose in his book. Hermonie saw this and walked behind him soft and quietly and looked over his shoulder and asked,

"What's you reading? He slammed the book shut from the sound of her voice and turned around. Hermonie jumped a little surprised that this would be his reaction.

"Nothing," he replied quickly.

"You sure? I saw you reading that same book all during DADA."

"You saw me?"

"Yes, you weren't volunteering in class, you usually do, that's when I looked over to see what you were doing, and I saw you reading," she said in a determined voice. "What are you reading anyway," she asked while trying to steal the book away from him to get a glance at it, while still trying to flirt that is.

"Nothing," he said while pulling the book back from her and got it out of her grasp with out even trying.

"I didn't think he was this strong," she thought as the book slipped out of her hands and into Remus' bag. She made one last grab for it but missed because his hand grabbed hers. She looked up to his eyes. Instead of those clam crystal blue eyes of his, she saw dark blue ones staring back at her. His eyes were now filled with seriousness. She let go of his hand and started walking away from him to get to class. He ran up behind her and grabbed her hand again.

"Sorry, I don't want you in my things just yet, please 'Monie, can we just forget about it?" She looked over to him again and saw his eyes back to normal. He called her 'Monie again, why couldn't she resist to him calling her that.

"Yeah, it's okay," she said getting her hand out of his grip, "I shouldn't be in your stuff anyway. Let's just get to class." She started to walk off again down to the forest and Remus followed with a sad expression on his face.

"Great job Moony, you ruined it, look what you've done, and it's all because of that book you got from the library." He shook his head and pushed his hair out of his eyes and stood next to Hermonie to hear the same lecture that every other teacher said, most of the class didn't pay attention, so the time went very slowly. But during that long class a Slythern with white blonde hair and one with greasy black hair looked at Hermonie very hungrily. When the class was finally done the students all headed back up to the castle and the two Slytherns approached Hermonie.

"So who's this very attractive Gryffindor we've got here? I believe we haven't met," the blonde Slytherin said.

"None of your business, Malfoy," Remus said protectively, stepping to the other side of Hermonie to block her from anything Malfoy might throw at her.

"Did he just say Malfoy," Hermonie asked herself?

"I don't believe we were talking to you, Lupin," said the cold voice of the dark haired boy.

"We were taking to the beautiful lady on the other side of you," Malfoy finished. He moved to the other side of Hermonie, Remus moved with him, once again, to protect her.

"Aw, now isn't that sweet, Lupin's protecting the girl," the black haired boy said.

"I don't want to hear it, Sneverus," Remus growled at him as he took Hermonie's hand and kept walking to the castle, but in a faster pace. When they got to the castle Remus tuned to Hermonie and said, "Sorry about back there Hermonie, you don't have to go star gazing with me at midnight if you don't want to anymore."

"Say no Hermonie, say it so you don't get too connected."

"'Monie?"

"I still want to go, there's nothing in the world that would make me not want to."

"No, Hermonie, wrong answer. But he called me 'Monie again, I'm just attracted to how he says it."

"You sure," Remus said as they made their way to the common room. She thought about this for a while.

"Yeah, " she said as she gave the Fat Lady the password, "I'm sure." The door swung open as she said that. She saw Sirius, James and Peter, who were all working on their next scheme for Halloween. She went over to the guys and asked, "So, what are you planning now?"

"Something special for Halloween, sense this is our last one we have to start working on it to make it great," Sirius said!

"Yeah, come on Padfoot, what else do we need," James asked? They then talked in hushed voices over the by the fireplace. Hermonie walked away over to an armchair and started to read. Soon enough it was time to go to her last class of the day. She took her bag and threw it over her shoulder and started to head up to the tower. She got there in pretty decent time; sense there was no one in the halls. She went up the stairs and looked over head and saw all the stars. She gasped in amazement.

"Yeah, they're pretty amazing huh?" She turned around to see Remus at the door from where she just came from.

"Yeah, they are," she said as she turned her head back up to the stars. Remus could of wrapped his arms around her and look up at the stars with her, she looked so innocent.

"Plenty of time for that later Moony, this is class." The professor came in and had them look at the stars through the telescope and identify them with partners. Remus and Hermonie were pared up. "Wow, 'Monie, this is awesome here look at this," he said as he took the book from her and grabbed her hand to pull her to the telescope. Both of them felt a shock go trough them once again. Hermonie pulled her hand away and placed it on the telescope while Remus looked in the book for the star. "Hermonie, you wouldn't believe what it's called," he said. She looked over to him.

"What's it called?"

"The Sirius Star, also known as the Dog Star."

"Well isn't that ironic," Hermonie said sarcasticly and turned back to look at the stars. Class soon got over and they all headed back to their dorms, except for Remus and Hermonie, who put their books down and waited for Remus to get the cloak. He came back down the stairs with the cloak in one hand and the map in the other.

"Ready," he asked?

"Yes," she replied.

"Don't say anything after we're under the cloak, other wise Mr. Flinch could catch us." She nodded in agreement. He threw the cloak over them and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good," and the map came into play. There was no one around them so they decided to open the common room door and start down the hallway, there were signs of Flinch or Mrs. Norris now and then, but they never ran into them. They finally made it up the stairs to the tower and Remus threw off the cloak and Hermonie felt a cold breeze blow by. It was a lot warmer closer to Remus so she followed him and sat down beside him on the floor. Remus said a charm and a blanket appeared and he covered them up with it. Hermonie moved in closer to Remus. He noticed this and decided to put an arm around her as he blushed. She leaned onto his chest with out hesitation.

"You warmer now," Remus asked? She nodded. "Good," he finished and they both looked up at the stars. After a while Remus broke the silence.

""Monie?"

"There it is again, he called me that again."

"Yeah?"

"I have to tell you something."

"Okay Remus, shoot."

Well I don't really know how to put this in words very well but I'm going to try. 'Monie, I think I'm falling in love with you, I know it hasn't been very long but I feel like I've known you forever." He looked over to her and saw her looking up at him.

"Kiss her Moony, kiss her." He got enough courage to move his hand over to her face and brush back a few stray hairs. He continued to move his hand to her chin a tilted it up a little more and bent his head down and kissed her. Hermonie felt like she was on cloud nine. She pushed into him more and he got the sign that he could move on. He moved his hand to her neck as he rubbed his tongue on her lip begging for entry and she granted it. He slid his tongue into her mouth while hers played with his. After a few seconds she noticed what she was doing.

"No Hermonie Jane Granger, stop it, think Professor Lupin, Professor Lupin." She pulled back.

"I'm sorry I can't, I can't do this." She got up and started running down the stairs and back into the common room and to her dorm. Remus grabbed the cloak and threw it around himself and grabbed the map and ran after her. She was just shutting her door to her dorm when he got into the common room. She stood against the door and asked her self, "What have I just done?"
