Remus Lupin was in Dumbledores office. He was leaning forward on the desk talking to his headmaster. Remus's hair was a blonde texture with a few grey hairs, due to stress, mixed in with his hair. This was the day he had been waiting for for the longest time. He had spent all these years waiting for this day, the day she would return. He had been counting down since she left him all those years ago. Now would be the time that everything would be okay, and everything would fix it self. He would be able to be happy again, he would have her back. She told him so, before she left.

But Dumbledore threatened this. Remus had been called to the headmasters office to speak of the events for that day. Perhaps he was going to hold back on their relationship until after graduation, seeing as Remus was going to be her teacher again, and such relationships wouldnt be widely favored among parents and other students. But no, Dumbledore was telling him his plans.

"Remus, I dont think you should be here when Ms. Granger returns. You may not like what I have planned out, but I think you deserve to know. Infact, I believe it is somthing you must know." The old man sighed deeply, looking away from the youngermans questioning gaze.

"Surely, Albus, what is so important for me to know?" Remus pressed him on to tell him.

"When she returns here, in my office I am going to promptly erase her memory of the past." He said, making it sound as if he was summoning the courage to say it.

"What? Albus why are you going to do that? She doesnt deserve that! That spell could easily go wrong and you know that! Why are you doing this? Why?" Remus kept hold on himself from shouting. He felt as if everything he had been waiting for was being taken away. He couldnt let that happen, not after waiting for so long, not after standing aside and letting her fate come to her.

"Remus, but I must! For her, for you! It is something I decided a long time ago. Something I decided before she even left. I am sorry my dear friend, but its something that must be done." Albus had a grave look on his face. "The hour is reaching close for Ms. Grangers arrival. Id advise you not to be here for it, but that choice is for you to make. The moment she arrives we are going to stunn her and give her a sleeping potion so she will not feel the pain. It is your choice to stay, but you know where I stand. If you think your going to stop me from removing her memory, then you are wrong, and I will kindly ask you to leave. Although, I will tell you this much. Im placing her memories in a pensieve, that you make keep."

Remus took a deep breathe, wihle glancing at his clock. She would be arriving soon. "I planned to be here when she got back, and I continue planning so. I will not stop you, though I dont think its right. She deserves to keep her memories, as anyone does." He paused and squinted his eye brows "Why are you giving me the pensieve? Arent you afraid I will show it to her?"

"No, Remus, I dont think you will show it to her. That and I trust that you wont. Even if you did, she would probably see if as dark magic, and report it." The old man said, as there was a knock ont he door. "Ah, should be Minerva. Come in!" He called out and sure enough it was.

"Albus, only a minute more, correct?" The woman said, totally oblivious to what the two men were speaking of.

"Yes, Minerva. Only a minute more, I suppose we should move to behind my desk? Give her enough room for when she spins back in." He had a cheerful tone in his voice which Remus rolled his eyes at. What did he have to be happy with? Allthese years amount to this. Why couldnt Dumbledore wipe his memory too? It wasnt fair what he was doing to Hermione.

The three adults, were quiet as they waited. Only the clocks ticking could be heard. The portraits on the walls of past headmasters were all in their frames waiting too, as they were anxious also. There was a pricling in the air and a girl appeared from nowhere infront of their eyes. Minerva, rushed forward to help the girl catch her blaance which took a few moments. Once she did she looked up and saw remus and smiled big.

"Remus..." was all she got out and Dumbledore stunned her. Remus looked into her eyes as all this happened. Minerva pulled the vial from her pocket and tipped it into Hermiones mouth, instantly she was asleep. His grey-blue eyes were emotionless as a tear slid down his cheek.

Dumbledore started his memory charm, slowly pulling the memories out of her head so not to hurt her as much. As the memories were being pulled out, they watched them play out. Remus tried to keep his mind clear as he heard a younger version of his voice tell Hermione that he loved her. His emotions were strong, and another tear slid down his face. He watched her face as the memories were pulled, trying to tune them out. Every so often she twitched, he guees from pain, as a memory was pulled. Before long they were done, her memory completely gone of her blast to the past. Dumbledore levitated Hermiones body to take her to the imfirmary so Madame Promfrey could take care of her, leaving the pensieve on his desk. He nodded to Remus on his was out, Hermiones body following him through the air, then McGonagall.

Remus wiped his face of anymore tears and grabed the pensieve. All these years and what he got was a pensieve of memories. No new ones, just the old, He thought bitterly. He went to his office head down ignoring students that greeted him on his way. Today was supposed to be a good day. He was supposed to get his 'Mione back, his sweet, dear 'Mione. This would be even more painful than the years before.
