Chapter 8: the secret place
"Yeah! I know! Malfoy is such a jerk this year!" Ron yelled.
Hermione was in The Three Broomsticks with Ron and Harry, who was under the invisibility cloak. She didn't want to be here. She wanted to be with Remus. But he had told her to meet her at noon. It was 11:30 and she was counting down the minutes.
She laughed at Ron's jokes so they wouldn't get suspicious. It was working quite well until Ron brought something else up.
"Oh yeah, Hermione, Ginny said you're in love."
Hermione nearly spit out her mouthful of butterbeer. "What?"
"Yeah, me and Harry asked her what was wrong with you and she said it was obvious you were in love. So, who is it?"
"What? No one! Ginny was wrong. I was just happy about my, um, Defense Against the Dark Arts grade that night." She looked up and saw it was nearly noon. "Oh dear, I have to go! See you back at Hogwarts!" she waved behind her and ran off leaving the bell on the door tinkling and Harry and Ron very confused.

Hermione ran through town all the way to Dervish and Banges. She threw open the door and saw Professor Lupin flipping thru a book at the back of the store. She crept toward him and tapped him on the shoulder.
Remus turned around and his eyes lit up. "Hermione!" he bent down and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hello." She replied, blushing. "So, what should we do?"
"Well, there's something I'd like to show you."
"Ok Remus." She willingly took his hand and let him lead her out of the store.
They walked thru the town together, watching for students that might be spying for Snape. Finally, they were nearing a wood close to the Shrieking Shack. He led her into it and to a clearing. "Oh Remus! This is beautiful!" there were birds twittering around in the trees that gracefully canopied over our heads. There was a soft dew on the grass and even a small lake near the edge of the clearing.
He knelt down and motioned for her to do so as well. "I haven't had many girlfriends Hermione, bit I've shown every one of them this place. Do you like it?"
"Of course!" she flung her arms around Remus' neck and her responded by kissing her full on the lips. "Ohhhhh Remus…" she moaned and kissed him again.
Suddenly, someone burst thru the bushes behind Remus and Hermione screamed.
"Hermione, what?" Remus turned around and saw Draco Malfoy peering through.
"I knew it!" he screamed and ran off toward the town.
"Oh dear." Remus whispered, looking back at Hermione.
A/N: ooooh! Cliffhanger! Lol. Not to confuse anyone but the next chapter will be five years in the future from this chapter. Need to jump ahead and make it legal. Lol.
