"Hermione" Ron said gently as he knocked on her bedroom door.
"Come in" she replied. Ron pushed the door open and found Hermione sitting in the chair by the window.
"What are you reading?" Ron asked after a moment of silence. Hermione's eyes never left the page as she answered.
"A Book on werewolves, I wanted to know if Remus being a werewolf will have any physical affects on me"
"You could have asked him," Ron said sitting down on her bed.
"I guess I could have" hermione replied, 'But I don't really have much to say to him"
"Hermione, you have to deal with this" Ron warned. Hermione turned and stared at him, her eyes looked cold.
"Deal with what?" She asked, "There is nothing to deal with. Remus Lupin is my father, it's all Biology and DNA"
"It's a little more than that," Ron mumbled.
Hermione teared up, "No" she said, "I can't let this be anything more. I have to see this logically, if I start to deal with this on an emotional level then I will feel rejected and alone and I can't do that right now. We have thee weight of the world on shoulder already, I can't allow my personal life to distract me"
Ron reached over and gave Hermione a hug. "Whenever you are ready to deal with this, let me know," He told her before he left the room.
"She hates me," Remus said throwing himself into a kitchen chair.
"I am sure she doesn't hate you" Molly assured him as she poured him a cup of tea.
"She doesn't" Harry told him, "Hermione likes to feel in control and in this situation she has no control. So she is going to pull away until she clears her head." He put his hand on Remus's shoulder, "Give her time she will come around"
Tonks and Remus left before Ron even came downstairs. 'I am sorry she didn't take it well" Tonks said.
Remus shrugged. He was taking his robes off when his owl appeared in the window. He opened the window and took the letter attached to its leg. He was shaking a he started reading the letter.
Remus,
I am writing this only to let you know I am coming back to England. I need to see her; I have thought about her so much and considered trying to find her myself. I will be in tonight, and the only thing I need from you is information on where to find her. I will let you know when I arrive.
Nora
P.S.
Congratulations
He sat back in the chair and let the letter hit the floor. Nora was coming home, his stomach churned at the thought. Hermione deserves to meet her mother, Remus reminded himself; I will just have to put my personal feelings aside. He rose to his feet so he could tell Tonks that they would be expecting a guest and hoping this would b ok with her.
