A/N: Hello! I am happy to say that I found a way that works to separate things. Most people use an Astrid but my computer wont let me so I get to use 'eeee'. It's dedicated to my friend josh, whenever I talk to him on the computer he always greets people with that.And the italics are Remus' dream incase you couldn't tell. Now onto the story…
Eeee
The rest off the day was spent happily. Remus and Hermione walked hand-in-hand outside. For the most part they just walked in silence but on occasion they would get into heated debates over whatever came to mind, starting with house-elves.
"They're treated like dirt!" Hermione said as they walked along slowly.
"Hermione they enjoy their work, and most of them don't belong to people as cruel as the Malfoys," Remus retorted with a laugh at how passionate Hermione was on the subject.
"How would you know? Have you ever been a house-elf?"
"No but I did visit Siri a lot over the summers and saw all the house-elves they went through. Not a single one of them wasn't absolutely delighted to be serving. I think one actually said he was honored…"
"Well then they've obviously been brainwashed!"
"Hermione no one is brainwashing house-elves. It's their nature to serve wizards and witches."
"Well look at Dobby, he's absolutely thrilled to be free. He gets wages and all the clothes he wants instead of nasty rags. He also gets to enjoy serving, which I still think is a result of brainwashing."
"Hermione, dear, I hate to break it to you but Dobby is a complete mental case. He wears at least five pairs of socks a day. He's also tried to kill Harry at least once, even though he thought he was helping him. He might mean well, but if he's not mental than I'm not a werewolf, and we know very well that I am," Remus retorted squeezing her hand gently.
"But he's---," Hermione started in protest. Her protest was interrupted though by Remus' lips pressing gently against her own. She pulled away with a smile. "Do you really think you can make me forget about what I was saying by kissing me?" Hermione asked playfully.
"Yes I do," Remus said while placing kisses along her jawline. As he kissed his way to her mouth Hermione gave a sigh. "I told you I could," he laughed.
Hermione looked at him for a moment, trying to decide whether to slap him playfully or kiss him as hard as she could. "Shut up," she said, deciding on the latter, and pulled him in for a heated kiss.
Eeee
The rest of the day passed very quickly and resulted with the new couple curled up together on the couch. Hermione laid her head gently against his chest and closed her eyes. "Hermione," Remus whispered just before she could fall asleep.
"Hmm?" Hermione asked, snuggling in against the soft wool of the sweater he was wearing.
"Go to bed, it's late and we're both exhausted," He said. She opened her mouth to argue but she stopped her before she could. "No arguing, we've debated all day. Now it's your turn to listen. Bed, now," he said firmly, but with a smile.
Hermione got up sleepily and smiled, "You know Remus? I think this has been the best day of my life. Except for maybe getting my letter, and becoming friends with Harry and Ron." She then walked into her room and laid down on her bed and feel asleep in her clothes.
Remus smiled and followed her heading to his room. He made it through changing clothes but that was it.
Eeee
It was the full moon and Remus had just finished transforming. James and Peter had been put in detention for the week and couldn't make it out to the shack. Remus lay down on the floor to wait for his mate. Minutes passed and the wolf grew restless and began chewing on his leg. Suddenly a thudding on the stairs distracted him. The wolf stood up, facing the door, and let out a growl.
The thudding stopped and a black nose pushed open the door. Letting out a bark Remus padded over to his dog friend. The dog sat still until the wolf had sniffed him over, wagging his tail the whole time. Stepping back the dog that was Sirius bowed to show his respect to the wolf. His bow was responded by a wolfish grin as the wolf lept and tackled the dog. They ran out side into the open field and wrestled until they both stood panting.
Letting out a howl Remus signified that he was the winner of the match. They then wandered through the field and stopped when the reached a ledge. Suddenly the black dog beside him caught sniff of something below and bounded happily down the steep incline as the wolf watched on curiously. Suddenly before either of them could do anything the rocks slipped out from under the dogs feet and sent him tumbling down the slope and threw him onto the rocky ground.
Remus rushed carefully down to were the dog lay. It was still and a steady stream of blood was trickling from its head. The wolf mournfully nudged the dog with his muzzle, but it received no response. Realizing it was dead he let out a mournful howl letting the world know that his best mate, was dead.
Eeee
Before he knew it Remus was sitting in a small café with his arm around the waist of a teenage Hermione. Siiting across from them, hand-in-hand was Lily and James Potter.
"So Remmy, whose the girl?" James asked with a wink,
Hermione gave a laugh and responded for herself. "I'm Hermione Mr. Potter. I'm Harry's friend."
James gave her a crazy look then burst out laughing. "Hermione I am in no way 'Mr. Potter'. I am James, it's perfectly all right for you to call me that. Heck it might disappoint me if you don't. You are going out with Remus here," he said.
Lily rolled her eyes at her husband, "I'm Lily, but if you know Harry than you must know that already. You'll have to forgive my husbands idiocy," she said laughingly.
"So how long have you two been seeing each other?" James asked, coming out of his laughing fit at being called Mr. Potter.
"Two, almost three years," Remus found himself replying, then giving Hermione a quick kiss.
James laughed at him, "Finally mate. I always said you needed a girl."
They carried on happy conversation for quite sometime before they decided to depart. As Remus and Hermione walked out everything went blurry…
Eeee
When things became clearer Remus found himself outside of the safe house. Hermione was dressed in a beautiful but simple white gown. He looked down at his own attire to find that it was a tux.
"Second thoughts? Hermione asked holding his hand and kissing it lightly.
"Never," he said and swept her off her feet and carried her into the house.
Hermione laughed as she lay her head against his chest. "I never knew you to be a romantic Remus."
"Well I guess there are things you still have to learn," Remus said, nuzzling her neck.
Hermione let out a soft laugh and kissed him. As he kissed back the weight he felt from carrying her disappeared. In his hands were piles of ash that sifted through his fingers to lay around his feet. The ashes were all that was left of her. Lying in the ashes around his feet glinted a gold band with small diamond. Her wedding ring. He fell down to his knees and cried. "Hermione."
Remus bolted up in his bed, sweat pouring down his face and called out as his dream had. "Hermione!"
Eeee
