Chapter Nine: My Weak Spot
Hermione looked at Lupin and he had a look on his face that was just begging her to lean over and kiss him again. She held herself back however and she sighed.
"I still don't know, Remus," she said. He sighed.
"I'm sorry, Hermione, I just wanted you to be happy," he said getting up. "I'll send your things here so you can get your clothes," he said. He began walking out of the room when Hermione said his name.
"Remus?" she said. He stopped and turned around.
"Yes, Hermione?" he asked. She looked down.
"Can you please take me home?" she asked. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled weakly.
"Yes, I can do that," he said. She smiled and nodded.
Hermione lay in Remus' bed, since his room was much closer to the stairs than hers. She was drinking some healing potion that she had to have twice a day.
"Oh God, that's definitely not the best thing that I've drunk in my life," she said when she finished. He smiled.
"At least you don't have to drink wolfsbane potion," he said. She looked at him. "It's disgusting," he said. She gasped softly.
"The wolfsbane potion, when will you transform this month?" she asked. He smiled wearily.
"Oh, don't worry, I'll be fine, I turn into a simple wolf, and I still have my wits, I'll just be locked in a room," he said.
"This is one reason why I didn't want to come here!" she said. He looked at her.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because of the wolf, you have to worry about me as well—"
"It's quite alright," he said. She sighed. "Well, I think that I should just apperate to the store and see how its doing," he said. She nodded.
"Is Anne there?" she asked. He nodded. Anne was an old witch who lived in the area and who took care of the book shop for him.
"I'm just going to tell her that I will be…absent for a while," he said. She nodded.
"Remus?" she said softly. He turned and looked at her.
"Yes, Hermione?"
"Thank you," she said. He smiled and nodded, and with a loud crack he disappeared.
Hermione was on her stomach and Remus was applying the salve to her back, where she had been beaten with the belt. She shivered as he rubbed his hands on her back and sometimes she whimpered when he touched a particularly tender spot. It had felt odd at first when she had to take off her shirt and bra, but she didn't care anymore. His hands felt so good on her flesh. After that, he would magick her shirt back on and then she would turn around and sit up on the bed for a while. Then he would apply the salve to her face so the swelling would go down and the bruises would fade.
One Month Later:-
One evening, they were both sitting in his room. It was getting colder outside and they were looking out the window.
"It's going to snow soon," she said. He smiled and nodded.
"You're getting better," he said. She smiled.
"I am better," she said.
"Yes you are," he said. Some of the scars had remained, and others had gone away. She was usually up and about, cleaning out the house, since he kept the place pretty shabby over the years. They had kept their relationship very platonic; since she came back there had been no kissing. She had kept her distance and he had kept his. She rose up from the bed and went over to him where he stood by the window and she stood next to him. He looked at her and smiled.
"You know, you never told me, how you found me," she said. He looked at her and sighed. "And you never told me, what state you found me in. After I fell, I had…knocked out, and I couldn't even remember what happened after that," she said. He nodded.
"I knew that you would want to know," he said. She nodded.
"Of course," she said. He sighed and nodded.
"I had been looking for you all day," he said. "But I couldn't find you, and I didn't want to be seen apparating all over the place, so after a while, I came back home, and I fell asleep. Do you know when you're having a nightmare and you just…wake up and your chest is pounding?" he asked. She nodded. "Well, that's how I woke up," he said. She had a puzzled look on her face.
"But why?" she asked. He sighed.
"Because, you called me, Hermione," he said. She looked at him.
"I called you?" she asked. He nodded. "But how is that possible?" she asked. He looked at her.
"Wolves are very…connected with their family, and loved ones, and as for me, since I am a werewolf, it is almost heightened in me," he said.
"You're saying that your sense of…connection is very strong?" she asked. He nodded.
"When we…Kissed, I actually created a bond with you, that alerts me when you are scared, or feeling pain, or even when you are really happy," he said. She gasped.
"Does that mean that you can feel it too?" she asked. He nodded.
"Not to the degree in which you feel it, but here and there I do," he said. She nodded.
"Oh so you must have felt…something when I was…"
"Yes, I did," he said. She gasped softly.
"So, how did you find me?" she asked. He shrugged.
"I was apparating all over the place," he said. "I think I got lucky when I decided to try that area." He said. She remained quiet and then she asked him the question that she had wanted to ask for such a long time.
"Remus, when you arrived, what were they…doing?" she asked. He sighed and walked over to the bed and sat down.
"When I came, I saw your trunk on the ground and someone trying to open it. I used a spell and he was knocked out, and then the other two were…one was trying to wake you and the other one was taking off his pants," he said. She closed her eyes and nodded.
"Did they do anything else?" she asked walking over to him. He shook his head.
"I tapped him on the shoulder and then I punched him in the gut," he said. She nodded and had a sad smile on her face. Sitting next to him she smiled at him.
"Thank you so much," she said. He shook his head. They were sitting very close and they looked into each other's eyes. She reached up and caressed his face and then placed her hand behind his neck. She pulled him towards her slowly and he shook his head.
"Hermione…" he groaned.
"Shh…" she said. She placed her lips on his and she kissed him. He felt a rush go through his whole body as she kissed him and then he wrapped her small frame in his arms. She smelled good. Her hair smelled like roses and her skin felt so soft against his. She pulled away and looked at him. He looked at her lips, they were so soft and sweet and she smiled as he leaned forward to kiss her again. He cradled her in his arms and he felt her arms creep around him and she began to massage his neck. Good lord, she had already found his weak spot. He groaned softly as she rubbed behind his neck. He left her lips and moved on to nibble on her ear lobe. He felt her tremble when he did this and so with a wicked grin, he played with her ear with his tongue. She was being tickled and she burst out into giggles. She fell back on the bed and he fell on top of her. Looking deep into his eyes, she smiled.
"Remus Lupin, make love to me," she said softly. "Please…"
