Young At Heart

Chapter 2-"It's called growing up"

All characters are JKR's sorry, forgot to mention that in the first chappie!

Hermoine was a complex character; she loved to think, even if it hurt sometimes. Right now she was sitting in the large library, which had partly been converted into a study, and she was thinking. She had draped herself over a large armchair, next to the unused fireplace. For some reason, it comforted her even though there was no warm fire inside it.

She closed her eyes and lost herself in her feelings. For the past two months she'd been consumed with her feelings, and she felt like they were strangling her to death. She never really knew what she wanted, or who she wanted for that matter. And one of her biggest problems was Ron. He made her laugh, and while he wasn't the smartest guy in her grade, he was sweet… when he wasn't trying to get in her pants. She'd made the mistake of letting him go up her shirt two months ago, and since then he'd been pressuring her to have sex with him.

They'd finally sat down and talked about it, Hermoine saying she wasn't ready yet and she wanted to wait, what she meant was she wanted to wait until she was in love. But she didn't tell him that. He'd agreed, but it hadn't stopped him.

Hermoine sighed audibly, feeling overwhelmed. She was just about to fall asleep laying there when she was startled by a voice, "Are you asleep?" Remus asked. She opened her eyes and got a face full of crotch. He was standing right in front of her, looking down at her, smiling.

Hermoine sat up, upset at almost being awoken. "No, I was not. But I was trying to." She said, unable to keep the smile from her face. Remus sat down next to her in the other chair, and said looked at her. He turned his head from side to side, looking up and down her body. Not necessarily "checking her out" but he was realizing how she'd changed from a bushy haired nerd to a beautiful woman.

"You've changed since 3rd year." He commented randomly. Hermoine laughed at him, "It's called growing up Remus." He looked her over again, deciding not to say what he was thinking, which was that she'd grown up quite a lot.

Hermoine looked around the room, trying to think of something to fill the silence before saying regretfully, "I have to meet Ron soon." She looked down at the ground, hoping Remus could stall her longer.

"Does he really bother you?" Remus said finally, looking up to her as she had begun to stand. She sat back down and folded her legs in the chair, looking all together a lot like a kid in a grown up's body. She tilted her head to one side and said, "Yes and no. I mean, he makes me laugh and smile and stuff, but sometimes he's just so stupid, and controlling and horny…" She trailed off, lost in her own thoughts. Remus looked at her as she stared at the floor.

"That's how a lot of guys are at that age, especially guys like Ron. They have just been introduced to sex and they aren't able to really handle it." Remus suggested knowledgably.

Hermoine looked down at the floor and said, "I need someone more mature." Remus stared at the top of her head and was about to respond when Ron popped into the room, "Hey Hermoine, I thought you were going to meet me!" he said, sounding very put off.

"I was on my way Ron. Lets go." She said, standing up and smiling at Remus, "Thank you Remus." She said before turning and walked to Ron. As they passed through the doorframe Remus could distinctly hear Ron crooning, "What in bloody hell was that all about?" Remus shook his head again and went to find a book to read.

Hermoine followed Ron out of the house, trying to stay quiet as he reprimanded her for "always being late" and "never caring about him". Finally they reached a small hill, where a blanket had been laid out, and they sat down together. Immediately Hermoine laid back, her knees bent and eyes closed.

Ron was on top of her in a second, kissing her passionately and working his hands up her shirt, she didn't stop him at first, letting him have his way with her. But then suddenly he began to unbutton her pants. Hermoine sat up and pushed him away quickly.

"Ron! Stop it, I told you I don't want to do that yet, why can't we just lay here and watch the sunset!" She said, angry that all he ever wanted to do was snog among other things. He huffed at her and said, "Why don't you ever want to kiss me? Am I that ugly? You're my girlfriend after all!" He yelled back, his temper rising.

"Ron it's nothing like that, it's just annoying that all you ever want to do is make out and get in my pants." Ron rolled his eyes and laughed then said smugly, "You're just playing hard to get!" Before getting atop her and holding her down whilst pulling her pants down off her hips exposing her blue thong straps.

Hermoine's mind was reeling; this isn't supposed to be happening! She screamed in her head. She tried to push him off of her, but he was much stronger and held her in place. He laughed and said, "Stop struggling Hermoine I know you want this as much as I do…" He sighed in her ear.

Scared out of her mind Hermoine started crying, beating her fists against Ron's chest, as he reached behind her to unclasp her bra. Finally her knee connected with his groin, sending him to the fetal position next to her. Hermoine stood up, buttoning her pants and screaming at the pathetic figure next to her, "Stay the bloody hell away from me!" she screamed before running off towards the house, her blouse still hanging open and her pants still unzipped.

Hermoine bounded through the kitchen door, running past a startled Mrs. Weasley and Sirius, up to her room, which was across from the library.

"I wonder what that was about?" Molly said, she hadn't noticed Hermoine's exposed self. Sirius shrugged his shoulders and went back to reading the paper, which was telling that he had been spotted in America.

Remus heard Hermoine's door slam across the hall. He sighed and put his book down, walking over towards her room. He knocked at the door and opened it slightly, he was take aback by the figure laying nearly half naked on her bed. She looked up at him, her eyes bright and puffy, with her shirt hanging half open and said, "Help me Remus…" Before standing up and running to wrap her arms around him, crying into his shoulder.

Remus stood shocked before patting her on the head, "Tell me everything Hermoine…"
