Hermione woke up with a tingling in her hip. Rubbing it, she climbed out of bed and started to make her way to the showers. The hot water felt so good, but the tingling in her hip was getting worse. Her shampoo and body soap smelled so much stronger today. Hermione's head shot up, she had to get to the headmasters office right away. Turning off the shower, she quickly dried off and dressed before running all the way there.

"Acid pops!" she exclaimed, racing into the office where Professor Dumbledore was sitting at his desk.

"What can I do for you this early in the morning, my dear?"

"Sir, I'm not sure, but I believe I'm a werewolf! I was bitten in the last battle and I really didn't think of it until now. My hip is really tingling and my sense of smell is so strong."

"Well this does seem serious, but not to worry, my dear. We are more than prepared if this is the case."

"Umm, sir, I do know about Remus' condition, but I haven't said that I know."

"Very wise idea. If he wants to tell you, that will be up to him and him alone. I don't think it would help his confidence if a stranger supposedly figured out his condition. He does pride himself in his secrecy after all."

"Sir, there is one other thing. I don't know if this is important or not, but I thought I should mention it. Whenever I'm around Remus, I'm really; I mean really, attracted to him. It's like a pull and it's getting harder to resist."

"Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that. We are going to have to find a new place for you to hide if you should in fact transform. If a female and a male werewolf were to be in the same room together, well you are an intelligent girl, you can imagine what would happen. We will have to keep you both far apart. I would not want to be the person getting between the two of you."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It is a basic part of nature to recreate. Werewolves are animals in effect. They do not have the rationality of humans, even though they are humans most of the time. If a male or a female werewolf catches the scent of the opposite sex, instinct takes over, and the need to mate becomes overwhelming. If someone were to come between the two or stop them they could be killed by the pair. The urge to mate can be ignored to a certain extent if both are strong enough, but if they are kept in close contact with each other, as in both of your cases at this school, it becomes impossible to fight."

"You mean I'm going to have an overwhelming urge to bang Remus?"

"I love the terminology youngsters use today, but if it means the two of you will mate, then yes I believe eventually you will no longer be able to fight it and you will succumb to your instincts."

"Won't that be an interesting conversation! Hey, Remus, what do you say on the next full moon we boff each other into the wall?"

"I believe it is referred to as rutting, concerning werewolves mating habits."

"Well that just makes everything all better then. I think I need to go, eat breakfast and get ready for Hogsmeade, sir."

"Yes, yes, go, but please remember that the full moon is tomorrow night and we will need to put you in a safe place before then."

Hermione headed to the Great Hall and saw Lily already sitting at the table. She looked at Hermione and waved her over.

"Where have you been?"

"I needed to talk to Professor Dumbledore before we left."

"Ok, but we need to hurry and get ready. We are so going to blow their socks off. Come on, slowpoke!"

Hermione grabbed a piece of toast and ran after her overly excited friend.

An hour later both girls were ready to go and went to the common room, where they sat waiting for the guys. A few minutes later all four came down the stairs. They saw the girls on the couch and Lily got up and greeted James with a kiss on the cheek. James looked at his friends with a stupid grin plastered on his face. Remus noticed Hermione by her scent first, then by what she was wearing. It was a pair of flare bottom hipsters and a red zip up sweater with a white shirt underneath. She looked and smelled so good. He had an almost overwhelming urge to rip her clothes off of her and take her right there on the couch. He could feel himself instantly harden. He pulled his jacket around his waist to hide his impressive erection, but not before Sirius caught his predicament. Sirius smiled slyly and a plan formed in his head. He knew Remus was always horny a day or so before his tranformation, so this would be the perfect opportunity. He and James wanted Remus to get together with a girl and stay with her. Hermione looked to be interested, she was drop dead gorgeous with a body to die for, extremely intelligent just like Remus, and her take on werewolves wasn't bad either. If Remus happened to get a good shag or two out of the deal, that was only a bonus. Sirius thought he might go for Hermione if Remus turned her down, but he would be kind and let his friend go for her first.

They arrived in Hogsmeade and made their way to the different shops. Hermione walked off to the side, to let Lily walk with James. They really did make a cute couple. Peter was busy trying to tell Remus something and Remus being the kind person he was, tried to listen. Sirius decided now would be the time to execute his perfect plan. He walked up beside Hermione and placed his arm around her shoulder. She stopped walking and turned to Sirius. The feel of his arm on her didn't feel right, instead it made her feel sick. She stepped out of his embrace and asked what he wanted.

"Only to talk to you, gorgeous. It seems we are the only ones without a conversation partner."

Remus noticed when Sirius made his way to Hermione. Sirius' reputation with the ladies was no secret, but this girl was new and she didn't know about Sirius' skills. He wanted to rip his friends throat out and claim Hermione so everyone knew she was his. Surprised by his thoughts, he shook his head and tried once again to listen to Peter, but couldn't stop glancing in Hermione's direction.

Hermione was laghing at a joke Sirius had just told and having a good time. She knew Sirius was trying to flirt with her.

"Sirius, listen, I like to be upfront with people. I really like that we are becoming friends, but that's all I want to be with you, nothing more. I'm kind of interested in someone else. I hope there are no hard feelings?"

Sirius laughed and grabbed the girl in for a hug. "None at all, sweetie. You need someone who wants to stick around, I'm the wandering and roaming type. So this love interest, it wouldn't happen to be a certain sandy haired, blue eyed friend of ours, would it now?"

Hermoine could feel her skin growing hot. She looked around for something to change the subject to. Sirius regarded her for a moment and then gave her a very important piece of advice.

"Don't listen to what he says. Watch his actions and reactions and go by them." He patted her on the shoulder and ran to occupy Peter in a conversation.

In the mean time, Remus had witnessed Sirius hug Hermione and jealousy raged through him. He should have known she would be caught up in Sirius' pull. Remus was never one to step into his friends territory and he wasn't about to start now, even though he wanted Hermione to be all his and no one else's. He hung his head and started to kick the stones on the road.

"So, is there a purpose to this game or are we pretending these rocks are people we hate?" Her laughter was like music to his ears. He looked up into her chocolate eyes. He had an exteme weakness for chocolate. Her smell caught him and he had to stop and compose himself. This certainly was a predicament. Here he was walking with a gorgeous girl, highly attracted to her, and he was sporting the largest and hardest boner he had ever had in his life. Wasn't this nice, now all he needed was an audience and his humiliation was complete.

Hermione was having troubles of her own. With each step she took, she could feel herself getting wetter, her breasts were tingling and her stomach had little butterflies in it. Her hand was itching to reach out and grab his. Instead she just smiled and walked in silence beside him.

Up ahead Sirius realised he was going to need some help with this. He told Lily, James and Peter of his plan and asked them to help. All readily agreed, wanting the couple to get together. Yes, this was going to be perfect and it was sure to work.
