NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
Last time on A New Beginning
"Hermione I have something to tell you..."
Hermione looked at him with anticipation. Her heart races even faster. Sweat ran down the back of her neck making the hairs stand on end. Remus grabbed her hand and gulped. "Hermione will you go out on a date with me?" Remus asked nervously. He stared at her with content. His heart dropped when her eyes fell to the floor. She let go of his hand and ran out of the room.
She ran all the way to the forbidden forest. She was like the Energizer bunny. She kept going and going and going. She stopped when her sides cramped up and her lungs constricted in pain. They were so painful she passed out. Remus ran after her. He saw her run into the forest and feared the worst. He sped up after her but lost her in the darkness. "Hermione. Hermione. Please answer me. I'm sorry." Remus screamed into the darkness. He was walking scanning the dark when he tripped over something soft. He turned and saw Hermione unconscious on the forest floor. Her chest was rising and falling steadily. So he knew she was still alive. Remus lifted Hermione in his arms and carried her to the hospital wing.
She awoke a couple hours later to find Madam Pomfrey wiping her forehead with a wet washcloth. "How did I get here?" " Professor Lupin brought you in. He left a note for you to read alone. Here you go." Madam Pomfrey handed her the note and headed back to her office. Hermione opened the letter slowly.
My dearest Hermione,
I am so sorry for what I did. I thought you felt the same way about me. I know it is wrong for a teacher to LOVE a student but I can't help it. Every time I see you my heart pounds. Every time you smile my eyes light up. I know you don't feel the same way about me and I will not proceed with these feelings, but if you feel anything please let me know. I know you could never love and old werewolf like me, but I can hope.
I will love you always,
Remus J. Lupin
Hermione put the letter away and smiled. ' What was I thinking running away? I love him more then I have ever loved anyone. I want to be with him , but how do I tell him?' Hermione sat there all day contemplating what to do.
