A/N- okay, I thought I should update now while I can, because I've got band camp tomorrow and school's going to be starting soon and it will be harder and harder for me to update, but I'll keep going with this as much as I can. So here's the 9th chapter! Enjoy!

As soon as Remus had left Hermione's side he kept thinking how incredibly stupid it was to even try to win her love. There was the age difference and Dumbledore. He was going to be teaching in a few days and he knew Dumbledore didn't let student teacher relationships happen. He took a deep breath and thought about everything that had happened. Sirius, his best friend, was dead. No doubt this was more of Sirius's area of expertise. He lay back down on his bed and closed his eyes. School started in two days, and so did his mission for the Order. He was to keep his eye on Draco and Snape, Dumbledore's trust in Draco was very slim, but watching Snape was a decision he made himself. Dumbledore still trusted him with his life, which Remus thought was stupid, but dared not question him. Sleep came slowly for him, and didn't last long because of an ear shattering scream.

Hermione sat up in her bed screaming and crying. It was so real…the dream…was it even a dream? There was Voldemort and Remus and Snape….Remus went after Snape and it was a trap and Voldemort killed him right before her eyes. She threw the covers off of her and flung herself off the bed and ran to the door. She prayed it was just a dream. The door opened before she got there and there he was standing there looking at her with concern.

"Remus! You're alive!" she shrieked, flinging her arms around him.

Remus stared at her confused.

"Last time I checked I was alive, what happened Hermione?" he asked gently.

Hermione whipped away a tear and sniffled.

"I…had a bad dream. Snape led you to Voldemort and you died." She explained sheepishly.

Remus scooped her up in his arms and laid her down on her bed and covered her back up.

"You know Dumbledore trusts Snape, he wouldn't do that." He said, despite his own thoughts.

Hermione nodded and watched him walk to the door.

"Wait! Could you…maybe…stay with me until I fall asleep?" she asked feeling like a five year old.

Remus smiled.

"Yeah, I could do that."

He climbed into bed with her and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Snape smirked as he walked in the room and found the two sleeping next to each other. Getting rid of Remus wasn't going to be as hard as he thought it would be. All he had to do was use Hermione. He backed out of the room and went to his dungeons, where he could sleep peacefully knowing he would make his master proud.

A/N- sorry that was so short, but chapter ten will be coming soon. Give me a week okay?
