Remus bounded up the stairs, taking two at a time. When he got to the second floor, he ran down the hallway, mind racing. What could have happened? This house was securely guarded, with more spells and wards than you could poke a wand at. No creature with dark intentions could get it or for that matter, out! He got to the bedroom door, barged in, and saw Hermione lying still on her bed.oh god he thought, what happened to her? he raced over to the bed, and started to shake Hermione.When she started to stir, he stopped and let out a huge sigh of relief. Hermione opened her eyes and looked confused to see Remus' face above her.
"Remus???" She said.
"Hermione," Said Remus," Are you allright? I smelled blood...." A flush rose on Hermione's face.
"You can smell that?" She asked. Remus' eyes went wide when he realised the cause of the blood.
"That time of the month, eh?" He said, smiling sheepishly.Hermione nodded. Remus inhaled deeply. He inhaled again, a little bit more shallow, the intoxicating smell filling his lungs.Another breath. His pupils dilated and he started to breathe shallow breaths, his fists clenching the bedcovers.
"I think I should go.." Remus said, quickly getting up and leaving Hermione just sitting there, looking very confused. Outside the room, Remus was clenching and unclenching his fists. It had been a while since he had felt....like that.

A while later, Hermione was sitting in the living room, reading a book on werewolves. She saw an interesting passage.

Blood

As you already know, the Lycanthropy virus is transmitted by blood contact. What you didn't know was that blood is a powerful Aphrodisiac for Werewolves (at this point, Hermione choked on a bit of the apple that she was eating) and can arouse one to the point of trying to mate with the source of the blood(only if it is of the opposite sex) . Menstruating women must also be careful, as the blood is even more attractive to warewolves at this time. At this point Hermione stopped reading. If she had kept reading, she would have seen:

That night:
"Remus, they should be back by now, what if something happened to them and we weren't there to help?" Hermione was pacing the hallway and Remus was trying to calm her.
"Don't be silly, Hermione, I bet the've just decided to stay and have a drink or something. You're begining to sound like Molly" He said, at the brink of laughter.
"It's not funny, Remus," Hermione said, hitting him playfully ("oof" said Remus)," And besides, with all those death eaters still at large, you never know what may happen. Shut UP!" Remus was laughing now, and he couldn't stop. Finally, he composed himself enough to make an (almost) straight face.
"Okay," He said," I'm sure the've gone and been tragically mauled by death eaters."
"Shut up. Oh you're here, thank god," Hermione said as Harry, Ron and the others walked through the door, obviously a bit sloshed, "We...I Mean..(Remus had coughed loudly) I was so worried about you, where did you go?"
"Dun worry, Mione we were jusd at the bar" Slurred Harry
"We went to a bar? I thought it was a strip club" Said Ron
"Yeah but we weren't sposed to tell her that, Ron..Shhhhhh" Hermione was trying not to laugh but was having a hard time. She pressed her lips together, but it was all in vain. Soon, she was laughing her head off.
"Now, Harry and the rest, you need to get to bed, as I doubt that Molly will give any of you an anti-hangover potion in the morning" Remus saved, with Hermione practically rolling on the floor with laughter. The crew traipsed off up the stairs . Remus waited for them all to be out of sight, and burst out laughing himself.
"I had no idea that drunk people could be so funny" Said Hermione
"Yeah they can. I remember when Sirius and James went out and they'd come back absolutely pissed. They would ask me to get them a Hangover potion so once I swapped it with an accute hearing potion." He chuckled " They were so livid when they found out" Suddenly his face became grave " Too bad sirius wasn't here to see this..." Hermione looked at him sadly
"Yeah," She said, "He would've laughed his had off. Remus, I...."
"I know what you're going to say, Hermione" Said Remus wearily, "'I know how you feel, Remus, how awful to lose a friend.' Everyone says that, and it isn't right. no-one knows how I feel "
"No... I don't know how you feel, Remus , and I don't think I ever will. Sure, Sirius was a good friend, but not as close as you were to He and James. I've never had to lose someone I really loved, be it a friend or family." Remus looked at her interestedly.
"Really?" He said to Hermione, surprised, "No one?"
"Well, I've had a few distant relatives die but I wasn't as close as you and Sirius were...." Remus cocked an eyebrow at her, "Weren't you..." Remus chuckled
"Together? No, we weren't. Don't know what i've done to make people think that. No, I'm as straight as they come." Hermione looked relieved for some reason.
" Just as well...."
"What?"
"Well, I'd heard some girls in my dormitory at Hogwarts talking about you in a....certain....more than student...way"
"Really?"
"Yeah, and it was getting quite annoying- 'oh, he's so hot and such a gentleman'-made me want to throw up. Not that you're not ....well......"
"Are you sure it wasn't you joining in on the conversation?" Remus teased
"Yeah, sure. anyway, I just snapped and told them to shut up about you. Even told them to stop trying to find out the password to your room." Remus laughed.
"You mean to say, " He said, " That girls your age think me, Remus Lupin, a Werewolf, attractive in a 'more than student' way?" Hermione nodded, " What about the guys in your year, I mean, Harry and Ron and them..." Hermione scoffed.
"Harry's with Ginny, Ron..well I don't know but i think he's with Lavendar, and the rest are all gay or taken."
"so you've never...."
"No. there was one time in 6th year when I went out with Ron but we decided to just stay friends. I guess that none of the guys are into me like that, I'm just good old 'Mione, who can be relied on for answers to every test and exam. No, I guess they're not really mature enough for my liking. I need someone that I can have an intelligent conversation with without being asked 'Who's your favourite quidditch team?' over and over again."
"who's your favourite quidditch team?" Remus asked, smirking cheekily.
"Oh my god, don't the Cannons just excite you? I mean.. All that orange..." Said Hermione, rolling her eyes.
"Well," said Remus yawning, " I've got to catch some sleep tonight, got a big day tomorrow, what with all the doing nothing" Hermione laughed softly.
"Yeah, I suppose I'd better go too." With that they got up, and walked silently to their rooms (which were right next to eachother).
"Night, Remus" Said hermione.
"Yeah, night, 'Mione" replied Remus.
Once inside his room, Remus was pondering something.
Wonder who the "mature, intelligent man who's not obsessed over quidditch" is. He thought, lucky guy. Where did that come from??? and did he call her 'Mione?? What, he would be a lucky guy! Remus shook his head. It was way too late to be thinking about something like that.
