A/N- thank you all for the reviews, I didn't think this was a good idea,
but thanks for showing me that it was!!
He barred his teeth at her and got ready to bite her. Hermione tried to be calm. She knew that he must have not taken the potion that Professor Snape had made him. She wondered if he would kill her or leave her to become a werewolf too. She liked the nightlife quite well and didn't mind that thought. She looked straight into his eyes and began to cry. "Just kill me already and get it over with Remus! I dare not live any longer! I have nothing left here to keep me going! I don't want to be alone here anymore! Please...just kill me..." She sobbed. Remus stepped backward and cocked his head to the side. His prey was begging for death... He looked at her laying there crying. She was just like him. Alone and lost without anyone to care about her, without anyone to speak her mind too. He whimpered and went up to her face and licked her cheek. Hermione was confused but giggled. She looked into the wolf's eyes and saw understanding. She sat up and scratched behind his ears. The thirst had gone away. This was odd, he had been ready to kill her a minute ago, and now he was acting like a common house dog! He shrugged it off and realized that they were both soaking wet and could catch a cold from this. He got up and ran toward the Womping Willow.
Hermione stood up and ran after him. This was crazy...It was like a
dream...Following a mythical animal to shelter from the rain...it was like
a fairy tale. She just had to be dreaming. It was as if Remus
understood her, and no one understood her, therefore, this had to be a
dream. She sighed and continued to follow. If it was a dream, it was a
good one and she would make it last. She crawled into the tree, after getting hit in her side by the damned tree branches and sat up against the, err, wall. Remus came over and laid his head down on her lap and closed his eyes. Hermione took the hint and stroked his fur as she drifted off to sleep.
Hermione opened her eyes and looked around. It wasn't a dream. Then that meant that... She looked down and saw Remus, in human form, asleep on her lap. Her eyes widened and she started to blush. There was a full grown, attractive man sleeping on her lap!
*did I just say attractive?* She shook her head. Must not think
like that, maybe he hadn't really understood her pain, I mean,
he was, after all an animal at the time...She bit her lip and
looked down. He probably would wake up and lecture her on
cutting herself and attempting suicide. She didn't need his
preaching. She didn't need anyone. In her heart, she knew that
was a lie. But she was too stubborn to admit that she did need
someone. She lightly shoved him off and stood up. The whole
Hogwarts staff was probably freaking out, thinking she ran off
to kill herself. She laughed hollowly. She nearly had her wish,
but Remus's cannibal instincts had not kicked in last night and
she was still alive. And for that, she hated him. She had not
noticed that Remus was standing up behind her. He could almost sense the anger and confusion from her. She was angry for him not killing her. He wanted to say something to her, to make her talk to him, but he could find no words. Hermione turned around and glared at him. She walked off leaving him to his thoughts.
Remus sighed. He knew that he needed her. They understood each other, whether or not she realized it. He had to talk to her, to make sure she knew that someone cared and understood her pain, and that she didn't have to leave to make the pain go away. She didn't have to die or cause herself physical pain. If she only knew, knew how smart and beautiful and talented she really was. He sighed and walked toward the castle.
Hermione opened the door to the castle and ran smack into Professor Snape. He smirked and yanked her by the arm toward Dumbledore's office. He looked down at her arms and face. There were fresh cuts and scratches. "Been trying to hurt yourself again, Miss Granger? Maybe I should persuade Dumbledore to reconsider sending you to Saint Mungos!" She yanked away and glared at him. "You'd love seeing that happen wouldn't you? I bet you wish I had died when I tried to kill myself! If you're mad at me, then you are mad at the wrong person. You should be pissed off at my rescuer instead you selfish PRAT!" She yelled.
Snape glared and was about to yell back when Dumbledore appeared. "What is all this yelling that I am hearing out here? Ah, Hermione, you have returned. Please, come in and have a seat." He said trying to smile at the broken girl before him.
She rolled her eyes and followed him in. She sat down in front of him and crossed her arms. He smiled and offered her a lemon drop, which she ignored.
"Something troubles me child. Why would you want to end your life? Why would you want to run away from home? Your father had been worried sick about you and requests that you be sent home."
Hermione turned pale. He was going to kill her immediately after she returned home. He was afraid she had told, told his horrible secret. She bit her lip. She couldn't go back. The fear washed over her and she just stared at him horrified.
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. "Is there something wrong? You look as if you have seen a ghost."
She shook her head. What was she going to do? She just looked down and tried not to cry. Dumbledore smiled and stood up. "Well, I guess we should be getting you home. Professor Lupin shall accompany you."
She sighed. Great, she'd get a lecture just before she was murdered. Those would be the last words she would ever hear from a friendly face. She left his office and left with Remus.
Remus didn't say a word to her the whole time. He had orders to follow her home and watch what happened to her. Just to make sure she wouldn't attempt suicide again.
Hermione saw her father at the door and froze in fear. His eyes were full of anger and hate. She said good bye to Remus and went inside. Her father glared and threw her so hard she flew into the stairs and hit her head. She screamed and started to cry.
"You told them didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?! You little bitch! You will end up just like your mother!" He jumped on her with a butcher knife and she fought helplessly for her life. Which was odd, she had wanted to die, but not this way!
Remus heard her scream and was frozen in place as the scene unfolded. Then he ran in when he had her at knife point. He pointed his wand at her father.
