My Perfect Mishap
4. A Deep Longing
Hermione tossed and turned in her bed, small whimpers escaped her mouth. She sat up abruptly awakening from her dream the words kept echoing in her mind. 'Scream little mudblood scream for me! Yes scream I want to hear you're pain, you're agony!' The twisted laughs and piercing screams echoed those words. Hermione got up from her bed shakily breathing in harshly. Slowly she walked from the girls' sleeping quarters and sat in one of the couches in the common room. A small flame was flickering and then it flared into a fire brightening the common room. She stared at the fire sadly as one of her hands came up to trace the small scar on the back of her neck.
"You can't sleep either," a soft voice whispered, startling Hermione.
Hermione turned her head to see Fred smiling softly at her. She gave him a weak smile. "No I can't sleep," her voice was barely a whisper. She moved a bit so that there where more space and patted the couch to her left.
Fred sat down next Hermione and wrapped an arm around her shoulders in comfort. "Still having nightmares, eh?" It was very strange for Hermione to hear Fred speak so softly and gentle compared to his lively playful tone. "Don't worry about it Hermione, yeah the memories won't go away, but there will always be better memories that will take away all the bad even if its for a while." A small smile a lit his face, he rubbed soothing circles on her arms.
Leaning closer to Fred Hermione sighed. "I know Fred, but I wish that they could just go away for good." Sad brown eyes searched to meet with gentle blue eyes. "So much pain and suffering I wish it would just go away like it never happened." Hermione wrapped an arm around Fred and both leaned into each others embrace.
"All of us wish the same thing Hermione," another voice said. Fred and Hermione turned around to see George staring at them in fondness. "We have to move on though we can't let all that suffering conquer us. Like my dear twin said there will be new memories. Plus me and Forge here are going to wreak havoc with the marauders here and that will keep you preoccupied right?" George's tone turned light and playful, but it had a raspy tone. He walked towards them and sat on the couch with them. He sat to the right of Hermione and wrapped an arm around her
"Awww…" Fred began then both twins said "Group hug!" The three of them chuckled softly. Hermione snuggled in their embrace contently and all three where relaxed the hug ended but Hermione rested her head on Fred's shoulder and while Fred and George both held her hands.
The three did not notice that somebody watched them in the shadows. Hazel eyes stared at the scene in slight jealousy because of the close relationship the two red heads had with his brunette angel. His mind was confused in why he felt so territorial was it because the full moon was four days away. His wolf was saying that those two where far to close to her to his liking while his normal human side said that their relationship seemed brotherly the way they held her and talked to her. His eyes looked upon the scene. They had gotten up while his angel rubbed her eyes and gave the twins a soft tender smile. The two boys placed a kiss on her forehead. A small growl left his mouth, but it was not heard. He turned away from the sight and headed back to his bed. He was able to fall asleep quickly, in his slumber the words "My angel." escaped his lips in a seductive erotic tone.
Four days later (The day of the full moon)
Hermione and Lily sat in a quiet corner in the library doing their homework and correcting each other in their work. Hermione got along with Lily very quickly and found herself befriending her easily.
"Hermione can you proofread this essay for potions class." Lily dropped down her quill and handed Hermione her essay. When Hermione took her essay from her hand she opened her bag and took out a romance novel. Lily looked up when she felt Hermione stare at her in mild amusement. Raising one eyebrow she said. "What?" A small blush appeared on her face.
"Well I thought you weren't into the whole bare chest savior saving the damsel in distress type of thing," Hermione giggled looking at the novel's cover. "Oh, to top it off it's a dangerous savior." She raised her eyebrow. The cover was of a handsome man with a bare chest holding possessively a slim curvy woman, who bared her neck to him. The man's eyes looked sinful and his mouth was slightly open a fang peeked out, his face was leaning towards her neck making it look like he was about to bite her. "Do you mind if I borrow it once you finished reading it.," she giggled again.
"Shut up, Hermione," Lily said as she blushed a shade of red that almost matched her hair color, but her green eyes held a sheen of amusement. "It's my one weakness, alright. It's that they are so addicting to read." Lily started to read again smiling widely, but she looked up once again. "I bet three galleons you have one of these romance novel in your bag right now." Lily grabbed Hermione's book bag ignoring her friend's protest and started to search through it. "Aha," she exclaimed as she pulled out a novel. There was no need for Lily to say anything the cover said it all with its muscular hero sword in hand as the woman's hands where touching his bare chest. Lily laughed and Hermione couldn't help but giggle at this. Lily sighed. "Every girl has to have at least one romance novel in their shelf."
Hermione nodded and took the book away from Lily. Hermione handed Lily back her essay. "Here, there were only minor errors like misplaced punctuation and a misspelled word here and there, but it's excellently written." Hermione smiled and then looked at her watch. "It's time we should be heading back to the tower before it gets late."
Lily nodded and started to pack her things. "Hey Hermione do you mind if I borrow that novel it looked very interesting," Lily smiled sheepishly at Hermione pointing at the novel in Hermione's hands. "Don't tell anyone about my weakness, Hermione," she giggled.
Hermione smiled. "Don't worry you're secret is safe with me, Lily." They started to talk amiably about their families. Hermione felt a twinge of guilt that she was somewhat lying to Lily about her family. She sighed and looked at the ghosts that where roaming the halls. Hermione's stomach grumbled slightly since she barely ate anything for dinner. She was too busy trying to figure out a way to bring them back to their own time. Fred and George were spending so much time with the Marauders and showing of many of the things they created. Once they reached common room after a small chat with the fat lady they were greeted by the loud laughter of a James Potter, Sirius Black and the twins. Hermione then saw Pettigrew and saw that he turned his back on them. Hermione then saw the wrapper on the floor. "Oh no," Hermione groaned. "Don't tell you gave him you're ton tongue toffee."
Fred and George smiled at Hermione innocently. "What are you talking about dear cousin? We have done nothing here." Then they pointed at James and Sirius. "They are the one who gave him that, we didn't," they smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, but they," she pointed to Sirius and James. "Must have gotten that from you because you're the only ones I know that have made that before. So don't act so innocently the both of you cause it will never work on me you should no that by now." Hermione folded her arms and scowled at them.
Sirius got up and placed an arm around Hermione's shoulder. "Awww… don't get mad at them, Mione." Sirius grinned when Hermione corrected him and told him to use her full name. "It was all for fun they didn't mean any harm." Sirius then looked at his watch and then gave a pointed look at James and then at Peter.
Hermione looked at him strangely then she remembered. Today was the full moon. "Hey have you guys seen Remus. I didn't see him today?" Hermione looked questioningly at Sirius. She saw Sirius's eyes shift uncomfortably and swallow. She waited patiently for the answer as did Fred and George.
"He went to visit his sick relative," Sirius said lamely.
Hermione looked at Fred and George and both had a knowing look. Hermione nodded her head accepting Sirius's excuse. She looked at the twins and they had an excited gleam on their eyes. Hermione glared and shook her head, while the twins pouted. The twins and Hermione were animagi, but Hermione still did not know what form the twins took since they were not registered and Hermione never saw them in their animagi form.
"Hey Hermione," the twins got up and were leading Hermione out of the common room. "We'll be back," they yelled. Then they looked at Hermione, who was giving them a pointed look pointing at Peter. "Ooops sorry almost forgot." Fred tossed a phial at James who caught. "It's the antidote" Both of them then dragged Hermione out.
All three of them walked around the castle until finally the room of requirement appeared. The room looked like their common room but it was more elegant and it had a table that had food. The twins looked at Hermione amusedly as she rubbed her stomach. Before the twins entered they looked around to see if someone was following them once they saw that they were not being followed they closed the door.

Remus was pacing up and down the empty room. He tried everything he could to try and take his mind off of her, but he couldn't and it sickened him that he was growing and obsession over the girl, or was it an obsession. The wolf said it was merely possessiveness, while Remus snorted and said 'Please I'm practically stalking her. I follow her almost everywhere!' Moony growled. 'No! You're doing what's in your nature and it's protecting her from those unworthy males. She is yours.' Remus looked out the window and looked at the sky the full moon was almost there. He sighed wearily and closed his eyes. Each time he closed his eyes her image came upon his mind. He longed to be close to her breath in her heavenly scent. The feeling of her warm embrace, and the aching need to posses her filled him. 'She will never be mine.' Moony grumbled 'You complete idiot. Open your eyes and accept your nature. I grow weary of your feeble attempts of protest.' ''She deserves better than me, I will only hurt her.' Moony let out a frustrated howl that actually passed through Remus's lips. 'I will no longer argue with you, you pathetic weakling. Soon you'll understand why, but if you don't understand soon, I will take care of thing personally.'
Remus panicked in Moony's last statement and started to pace once again. He didn't want to hurt Hermione in anyway possible. Hermione had become a close friend to him. She was intelligent and he can strike up a conversation easily with her. Unlike with most people he didn't feel uncomfortable around her, he actually felt at peace when he was around her. Yet her beauty and scent called to him like a siren and he couldn't get enough of Hermione. He and was too caught up in his thoughts he didn't realize the door opened and he was hit in the face with it. "Shit," he grumbled rubbing his nose.
Sirius's face peaked in the door and smiled at Remus. "Hey Moony," he said and then entered quietly with James following close behind.
"What are you two doing here you know you two can't be here. If one of the professors caught you guys here they are going to get you two in deep trouble." Remus opened the door once again and looked to see if anyone was coming and sighed in relief when he saw no one, "You two are always looking for trouble."
"Aww…,' Sirius cooed "Moony doesn't want us to get introuble isn't he so sweet."
"Shut up, Sirius. Unlike you I actually follow the rules…most of the times." He admitted sheepishly. Sirius and James laughed. "Both of you are a bad influence," he joked and then laughed at James and Sirius's fake expression of hurt.
"We just thought, you would want company. It gets awfully lonely in this empty room right," James asked.
" I know you guys are trying to cheer me up, but somebody is coming soon to take me to the Whomping Willow and then you'll see me…well my furry self that is," he smiled. "I don't want the two of you to get in trouble because of me." He adored his friends. He never thought that he would have amazing friends who would actually accept him for who he was. Their friendship meant everything to him.
"Fine, fine we'll leave because you asked us to and we see how much you care about us." James patted Remus's shoulders "You're such a worrier Remus, just relax. I brought my invisibility cloak with me.'
Sirius then said. "Hermione asked about you."
Remus's heart beat slightly accelerated. "She did?" Remus tried to keep his voice leveled and not sound to excited.
Both Sirius and James noticed his sudden change and smiled at one another. "Yes I said the normal excuse about you visiting a sick relative. I just felt like telling you just incase she decides to bombard you with questions when she sees you again."
"Thanks for telling me."
"You're welcome," Sirius smirked. James and Sirius were heading to the door before he left Sirius smiled knowingly. "Hey moony!" He continued when he got Remus's attention. "Good luck."
Remus looked at the door in surprise and shock. "What the hell?" Remus shook his head and the chuckled lowly.
Moony then grumbled in amusement. 'Even those two realize it.'

"No," Hermione said vehemently. "We will not go out there tonight. It is dangerous." Hermione shook her head.
"Come on Hermione!" The twins really wanted to go out there and join the maruaders. They had been trying to convince Hermione to say yes since they came into the Room of Requirement, but she wouldn't budge. They had to convince her since she had the invisibility cloak in her possession.
Hermione looked at the both of them who where giving her both puppy dog faces. She didn't know how much pleading she could take before she cracked.
To the twins tt seemed like forever until in the words echoed loudly in the room 'Fine we'll go!' The twins cheered. "Yes we did it!"
Hermione groaned exasperatedly and then couldn't help but chuckle. "You two are dangerous."
Alright another chapter done. I hoped you liked it. I have a question what animagi form would you want the twins to be? Please review! They always are good to read. Bye!
