'...' thinking "..."talking (....)letters

Hermione did her best to smile at Dumbledore as he apparated into Remus' living room, but she still had the offul aftertaste of the Wolfsbane potion. Currently Remus was pinching his nose with one hand and swallowing his own share of the vile liquid.

"Ahh I see we have discovered the miracle of the Wolfsbane potion." Dumbledore said sweeping to the kitchen where the other two presided.

The look Hermione gave him was less than gracious. Dumbledore chuckled watching the green tinges recede from Hermione's face. "That is disgusting!"

"True but very necessary, without it you'd could truly cause harm."

"I know, but that fact does not make it taste any better!" Hermione said crossing her arms over her chest. Her mood did not improve as Dumbledore smiled at her.

Remus began to move around grabbing his cloak and moving towards the door.

"I should be back before sunset. And I will help you with your transformation tonight."

Hermione smiled and nodded. "I'll see you then I guess."

Hermione sat huffily on the couch next to Dumbledore. It had been four hours since Remus left. Her vision wandered to the clock, 11:25 a.m. She sighed. 'Only eight hours and five minutes till sundown.'

"Hermione, you will be fine. I promise." Dumbledore said covering her hand.

"I know, its just....," she faded off unsure of what to say.

"If it frightens you so, please explain to me what happens," Dumble said, sitting back on the couch as Hermione took a deep breath.

"When the moon is seen by a werewolf the reaction is instantaneous. First the muscles and bones will grow to suit the changes in body structure. The eyes will change to that of a dogs. The skin tone will change and in some cases grow thick course fur, that close to a dogs aswell. The human mind is pushed into the back conciousness and the animal takes over. The Wolfabane potion prevents the human mind to be pushed away and prevents the Lycanthropy from being spread through a bite or scratch. The changes are in place until the moon sets in the morning or the sun rises to block it out enough. The transformation is said to be painful. You are changing the structure of your body, stretching the nerves and if not for the werewolves ability to heal itself, not live through the transformation."

"Now you just aptly described what you are going to go through, did it mention anything permanent?"

"Besides the Lycanthropy itself there are no permanent damages from the actual formation." Hermione said.

"So besides a brief moment of severe and excruciating pain what is there to fear."

"Its just scary to imagine that in eight hours I'm going be something kids have nightmares about." she said. The giant knot of fear and apprehension curling in her stomach began to grow with intensity.

"Hermione the people that really care for you, Harry, Ron, Ginny, myself, Arthur and Molly, Remus, even if Sirius were still here with us, Hermione, it won't matter to them." Dumbledore said. He smiled reassuringly and squeezed her hand ever so slightly.

"So, in a effort to distract myself, anything with Voldemort happening?" she asked forcing a smile to her face and looking up.

Dumbledore sighed as he released her hand. "He is beginning to show himself. A couple of disappearences here and there. Nothing that would catch the Ministry's attention. I fear Cornelius Fudge still has his head in the clouds. Or much farther to south than he should."

"Do you or the Order have any plans," Hermione said innocently.

"You are still too young to know about the Orders plans. At the end of next year perhaps, but not right now. And you have enough on your mind anyways. My only advice is if Remus offers a helping hand, don't refuse. I trust him, you should aswell." he said rising from the couch. "I, however, have other appointments I have to attend to. Perhaps you should busy yourself with a letter to Ron or Harry, informing them of your position."

And with a pop, he was gone.

'I should write Harry at least, I promised.' Hermione sighed dramatically. 'How am I supposed to tell my best friends that I'm a danger now. Hi Harry, just wanted to let you know. I am now a furry animal of the night. Love, Hermione. It's going to be a long day.'

Two hours and seven parchments later Hermione read over her finished letter.

(Dear Harry and Ron,

You asked me to write to you and explain why I did not

leave Hogwarts on the Express. I know I have been off a

bit lately and I do apologize. My mind has been

somewhere else.

Perhaps I should just be blunt. The night that I was out

late and ended up in the hospital wing. I was attacked

by a werewolf. We do not know who it was. Although it

couldn't of been Remus. I am truly sorry I was not open

with you, but I had to work through it myself first. I

understand if you no longer want to be around me because

of the dangers that now entails.

Please forgive me. I did not mean to hurt you or decieve

you.

Sincerely Yours,

Hermione)

Hermione sighed tiredly and folded the letter. 'I hope they understand. This isn't my fault.' She tied it to Remus' owl that he had shown her before he left and sat down to wait until sunset.

4:30

'If he isn't here soon. I am going to kill him, I'll eat him alive and fillet him on a spit. And then I'll enjoy some barbeque with a salad on the side.'

Hermione curled up in the corner trying to ignore the sun beginning to set. 'Remus where are you?'

It was 6:45. Hermione swore she could feel something pulsing through her veins. She could smell things she couldn't before. The open bottles of shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. The faint smell of all the apples Remus kept. 'He must really like those.'

She noticed her vision was sharper, she hadn't know about all the small cracks in the roof of his house, now she was painfully away of five. She seriously doubted her teeth were this sharp and normally she did not shake.

'Oh Merlin. Remus please hurry!'

7:00

Hermione felt the rise of panic beginning to take over her, the last slivers of light disappearing from the sky.

7:20

Hermione knew her eyes were now vertical, she knew the changes were already beginning. Her limbs were tingling. She had ten minutes.

"Remus," she whispered. "Remus I'm scared. Please you said you'd be back by now."

She felt a surge of pain originating from her stomach. 'No,no,no,NO NO NO NO!'

She felt her nails extend, the pains in her stomach becoming worse and more freqeunt. She gasped at the pain curling up in a ball. "Oh Merlin this hurts."

SHe could hear everything, even outside, the birds, the crickets, the footsteps. Hermione blinked, 'the footsteps?REMUS!'

A surge of pain pushed its way up her legs ending in her fingertips. She cried out and clwed at the carpet beneath her hands. She heard the door open and close as footsteps came closer.

Her teeth grew dangerously long and cut into the bottom of her lips. "Remus," she whispered. A body landed close to hers, breathing heavily.

"Just breathe, Hermione, just breathe," Remus said. His hand slid into hers. "It'll be over soon. I promise. Everything will be alright."

Her grip on his grew harder and she was somewhat aware of the blood dripping off his hands from her nails digging in. She felt her ankles stretch and grow. Hermione threw her head back in pain, gasping for air she was suddenly deprived of.

"Hold on Hermione," Remus said his own speech slurred from the fangs that now decorated his mouth.

The pain spread from her ankles to her shins, she was sure she felt her muscles rip and repair themselves quickly. Each bone in her body was cruely stretched and Hermione was painfully aware that there were 2000 parts to your body. Her clothes ripped and tore to an irrepairable state.

Once the transformation finished the she-wolf laided on the floor breathing heavily. Remus was still going through his transformation, his bulk proving for a longer timespan.

The she-wolf clumsily backed farther up into her corner. 'What's going on? Why can't I move right?!'

Hermione surveyed what of herself she could see. She had grown fur, grey fur, it was so much like the werewolf that had bit her. Remus was still laying on the floor whinning slightly. He turned his head towards her and she backed farther into the corner.

'Don't touch me.'

Remus turned and laided on his stomach and keened at her. Hermione tried to snuggle farther into the corner only tobe met with a wall. Remus gently stood with a grace Hermione definatly lacked right now and came closer. Hermione was surprised to hear herself growl. Remus stopped and laided down, still keening at her.

Hermione tried to concentrate on something to calm herself down. Her conversation with Dumbledore. "My only advice is if Remus offers a helping hand, don't refuse. I trust him, you should aswell."

Hermione stopped growling and tried to stand. She felt herself trying to coordinate four different legs. Remus stood and used himself to show her how to stand.

The she-wolf yawned after succesfully standing and walking around the room.

She laided down and put her head on her front paws, closing her exhausted eyes.

'It has to be at least 3 or 4 in the morning. I'm so tired.'

She felt a warm body curl up to hers and Remus' head rest on her shoulder. The she-wolf sighed contentedly and found sleep very quickly.

(YO! GUYS LIME STARTS HERE. IF IT SQUICKS DON'T READ!)

Hermione woke up warm, very warm and comfy. She opened her eyes to be faced a chest. She realized Remus had her wrapped up in his arms. Hermione had never researched the de-transformation, 'it must be painless'. She also however noticed, she was very nude.

The color drained from her face. She was dressed in not even a stitch and curled up in the arms of a man who she had kissed two days ago. 'Now all I have to do is get away without being seen.' She tried to move and Remus stirred slightly. Hermione held her breathe, her fingers crossed hoping he would not wake.

She tried not to giggle happily when he didn't wake. She turned slightly and saw a blanket on the couch not a foot away. She reached back and grabbed it forcing the blanket between their naked forms. It was then that Remus woke up.

"Good morning," she whispered.

Remus lazily opened his eyes. "Mmmmm morning." Hermione was dimly aware of his hands pushing her face closer. Her eyes closed as his lips pressed against hers. Hermione pushed back against his lips and tangled her hands in his hair.

His tongue ran against her bottom lip and Hermione opened her mouth to him. His tongue gently carresed her's pulling it into his mouth. Hermione felt his hands gently traveled over the swell of her breasts, the cotton a stark difference to the skin on her lips. Hermione broke the kiss and gasped. She never knew those were that sensative. Remus' mouth decended on her neck gently kissing and nipping.

Hermione felt a moan wrench itself from her body. She drew a shaky breath as Remus suckled her collarbone. "Oh Merlin."

Remus laughed, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, sending shivers up her spine, "I am no boy. I know how to make you writhe and scream my name." A silence ensued, Remus fully aware of how her body was shaking beneath him. "Perhaps later, right now you need to get dressed."

Hermione despretaly tried to avert her eyes as Remus rose and trekked towards the bathroom. 'Where did that com from?!?!' She rose and slinked to her room getting dressed. She looked at her appearence in the mirror and smiled when she saw the small purple mark on her collarbone.

Her body was still shaking, the sharp tingles still spreading through her body.

(ENDS HERE! YOU CAN KEEP READING AGAIN IF YA SKIPPED THE LIME)

She also noticed her choice in clothing was a bit more skimpy than she would usually wear. She also could wipe that silly grin off her face.

"Hermione!"

Hermione came into the kitchen to see what Remus wanted. The silly grin disappeared as she was handed a peice of parchment. The reply from Harry and Ron.

Her shaking hands sloppily opened the envelope. She felt Remus' hands descend onto her shoulders offering his comfort.

(Hermione,

Why didn't you just tell us? We would have understood!

Ron and I are not going anywhere, you are our friend

and nothing can change that. Nothing. You better send

us a answer, were planning to visit you after we clear

it with Dumbledore. Where are you anyways? You can't be

at home. Please write soon and sendd it to the Burrow

Dumbledore didn't make me go back to the Dursley's this

summer.

Friends Forver (no matter what)

Harry and Ron)

Hermione gently wiped the tears from her eyes. Remus gently kissed her cheek. "I knew they wouldn't be angry all along." He whispered in her ear.

Hermione nodded as she sniffled softly. She threw her arms around Remus' neck hugging him tightly the letter held tightly in her fist.

"It's going to be alright Hermione. Just like I said it would."
