I want him and yet I still find myself wondering often if I really know him.

I tilt my head to give Remus better access to my neck as he takes my breasts and weighs them in his hands. His touches now are always so gentle, his caresses are so light and faint, but there was a time, that first night when his touches were quite different.

It was the night before the full moon, and I had just come home from a blind date that Ginny set up for me with Benjy Williams, the seeker from Puddlemere United she met while playing with the Holyhead Harpies.

Ginny had talked him up for weeks, telling me about how handsome and intelligent he was and how happy I could be if I was in a romantic relationship. She told me how much he wanted to meet me, how interested he was, and how much it would hurt her feelings if I declined. So I said yes.

Ginny helped me to get ready. She did my hair in an elegant up-do, did my make up subtle with a red lip and put me in a skintight, back-less, chocolate-brown satin body con dress that barely skimmed my knees with matching 4-inch stiletto heels.

"Damn I'm good! Just take a look at yourself… you're gorgeous!"

I saw my reflection in the mirror I gulped.

"Don't you think this is a bit much for a first date?"

"Nonsense. He is going to love it!"

"I'm sure" I deadpanned to Ginny's laughter.

"Here"… Ginny said as she handed me a wrap.

"You have to hurry and apparate or you're going to be late. Well, have fun! And I want lots of details!" she said as she slammed and warded the door to her apartment.

I apparated to the restaurant where I was supposed to meet Benjy. I went inside and sat at the bar just as we had agreed. I got myself a firewhisky on the rocks and immediately a man sat down next to me.

He was in his late thirties and quite handsome.

"Hey, what's a beautiful girl like you doing here all alone on a Saturday night?" His husky voice murmured.

"Getting a drink and waiting for my date".

"Ah, so you're waiting for the luckiest bloke in the universe then?"

I laughed heartily. "You're too kind. Thank you."

"Hermione?"

"Yes?"

I turn and face a very handsome wizard that Ginny showed me photographs earlier.

"Hello Benjy, its wonderful to meet you. Ginny told me wonderful things"

His jaw goes slack. "Wow. I mean,… er, hi, no hello." Benjy says as he laughs and I blush.

"Ginny told me wonderful things as well but she didn't do your beauty justice".

"Um… [laughs nervously]. Let me just take care of my bar tab and then we can check on our table." I turn to my previous companion and say "It was nice meeting you sir."

He smiles and says "it was my pleasure and your bar tab has already been covered."

"Oh no sir, you didn't have to do that!"

"Nonsense, you are a part of the golden trio who saved us all." Then he leaned in and whispered. "Imagining you, pressed up against the wall with that dress pushed up to your hips and your legs wrapped around my waist as I fuck you is going fill my fantasies tonight".

I was struck speechless. Then he leaned away and smiled lewdly at me while he looks at my breasts. The nerve of this man, to objectify me like this in public. Before I knew what was happening, I punched him in the face.

Of course, we were escorted out of the restaurant. To an almost constant barrage of photographs.

"What happened back there, Hermione?! Why did you punch that man?! Now look what you've done, tomorrow our names will be in the paper and it won't be good!"

"That disgusting pig said horrible things to me, things that made him deserve the punch I gave him and all you care about is how this affects you? I'm sorry to have ruined your evening and I know we had a date tonight but I really think it would be best for me to just go home because after what happened, I just don't think I would be pleasant company."

I apparate back to my apartment before he can say anything else.

"Remus?"

"Hmmm?" He hums against my skin as he continues to kiss me.

"I have often thought of that first night we were together, do you remember it?"

"Of course. It was the night before the full moon and I had come over to your apartment for my wolfsbane.
