Hermione looked around the room and noticed it had grown dark out. She was still in her animagus form; she thought she had better head back to her dorm, but just then the door burst open and 3 boys came piling in. Doing the only natural thing when a wolf gets frightened, she growled. The boys were startled and Remus approached her cautiously. Sirius stood behind Remus and James stood near the door, in case he had to run out. Hermione recognized what all of them were doing and decided to have a little fun.
She began circling the room and the three guys, swishing her tail back and forth. All of the guys backed up until they were standing in a little circle in the middle of the room.
"What is she doing, Remus?"
"I think she may be stalking us."
"WHAT?"
"Don't talk so loud, you'll just provoke her more."
"Well that makes me feel a whole bloody lot better!"
"I said I think, she could also be enticing a mate. I'm pretty sure she's in heat."
"Well if that's what she's doing, I volunteer Remus for the sacrifice."
"Wait; why me, why not yourself, your a canine too you know!"
"Yes, but I am domesticated, you and she are not!"
"I am not bloody getting it on with a wolf."
"You didn't seem to be thinking that way the last full moon."
"I was a bloody werewolf. When I change I no longer have my human brain functions, I go on werewolf instinct alone. I couldn't help it if there was a heathly female, who just happened to be in heat, right there in front of me. Besides, it didn't look like Padfoot minded either, isn't that right Paddie?"
Sirius just blushed furiously. The wolf still circled, then she hopped onto a bed and stretched herself out, showing off her beautiful coat.
Hermione heard a noise from out the window and ran to see. There on the edge of the forest, a figured laid on the ground. She could sense the person was injured and ran to the door and started scratching at it. Sirius got the hint right away and opened it for her.
"I think she needs to relieve herself, maybe one of us should go with her."
"Why don't we all go, I could use a night stroll myself."
The three followed her outside and watched as she ran towards the Forbidden Forest, making them run to keep up. When they rounded the corner, they saw her leaning over a figure, licking its face. She turned and looked at the three and started to whimper and whine.
"I think she wants us to help whatever that is."
"Good deduction skills, Sherlock."
"Who?"
"Never mind, muggle book character. It looks like a person."
The guys made their way over and when they rolled the figure over, they saw not just a Slytherin, but Severus Snape.
"Let me just finish him off, he's half dead already, nobody would miss him."
"I think she may have something to say about that."
The guys turned to see the wolf growling and standing protectively over Severus' body, her eyes flashing dangerously.
They finally managed to convince the wolf that they were not going to harm Severus and took him to the hospital wing. They gave Madame Pomfrey the excuse that they saw him from their window and thinking it was someone who needed help, they raced outside. Madame Pomfrey had a hard time believing they would help a Slytherin, but their story did make sense. At least the part about them seeing him from the tower where they wouldn't have been able to tell who it was. Maybe once they got down there, their good sides came out and they couldn't leave him there without feeling guilty.
They made their way back to the common room. Once inside, James remembered something.
"Hey guys, where did the wolf go?"
All of them looked around before they heard the most haunting and beautiful sound coming from outside. There on the grounds was the wolf howling. She ran into the forest once she was finished. All of the boys headed back to their dorm and went to sleep. Remus was having strange dreams about the wolf. Maybe Sirius was right, he really did need to get laid. He had gone spare, he was having bloody erotic dreams about a wolf. If he was a werewolf he could imagine it, but not when he was a human. He turned his mind off and dreamed no more.
The next morning came in bright. It was Saturday, so most of the students were lazing about. Since all of the boys were up, they decided to go to the quidditch pitch and get some practice in as it was looking to be a beautiful day. They had gathered some other 7th year boys from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and decided to have a scrimmage. They had thought about asking some Slytherins for a game of tackle quidditch, but the last time they played they had gotten a months worth of detentions. Hey, it wasn't their fault that the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs wanted to be on the Gryffindor team, so it was basically the whole school against the Slytherins. It wasn't also their fault that the Slytherins couldn't take a few tackles from the opposing team; ok, maybe it was like a few hundred tackles, but who's counting? They all met in the Gryffindor changing rooms and put on their gear. Heading out to the pitch, the guys heard a whistle from a group of Ravenclaw guys ahead of them. Sirius, James and Remus ran up to the other guys and looked out onto the pitch. There on the opposite end of the pitch was one of the most beautiful sights they had ever seen. By this time all of the others had caught up and were enjoying the scene before them, none of them recognizing the two beauties.
On the pitch Hermione and Lily were doing several forms of martial arts. Hermione had learned as many forms as she possibly could for the war and Lily had been taking karate and judo since she was little. They had been coming out every morning to train, just a little earlier than this. They were later this morning because of Hermione's adventures the night before, Lily having waited up for her, and both sleeping in this morning. The girls moved in a fluid motion. Using katana sticks, they began blocking, jabbing, punching, kicking and throwing. Lily's hair was completely pulled up into a baseball cap and she was wearing a pair of daisy duke style cotton shorts that only accented her perfectly shaped butt even more and a tight half t-shirt; when she lifted her arms her bra could be seen underneath. She was wearing a black bra and her matching black knickers could barely be seen under the shorts, leading all of the guys to the conclusion that the knickers were very highcut. Hermione also had on a baseball cap, her ponytail sticking out the back, and was wearing a pair of bicycle shorts and a sports bra that showed off her toned stomach as well as her more than ample bust.
The fighting was getting more agressive and the girls were jabbing and swinging at each other. Lily swung at Hermione, who jumped backwards into a one-handed back hand spring, at the same time swinging her katana at Lily's legs. Lily saw this and jumped over the stick as she brought her stick down on Hermione. Hermione caught the end of the stick in her hands and used Lily's momentum against her, throwing her over. Lily was lying on her back and both girls were laughing as Hermione reached her hand down and helped Lily up. Both girls put their sticks down and started to stretch and bend. Each time they bent down one of the guys would let out a groan. They all watched as the two girls started to do yoga.
"Oh man, I think I could die happy right now," came from one of the Hufflepuffs.
"Not me, not until after I have tasted some of that," commented one of the Gryffindors.
"Does anyone know who they are?" The question was asked by another Hufflepuff.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Would you look at those stretches! If they are that flexible, can you imagine what they could do in bed?" one Ravenclaw pointed out.
Sirius wanted to get in on the action. "That is so not fair. It's been almost a week since I've gotten any! Watching this is like watching a porno for a bloke who's been depirved of late." Everyone chuckled at Sirius' statement, but a few had been thinking the same thing. The girls finished their complex stretches, when all of a sudden Lily leaned towards Hermione and started to tickle her. Hermione squealed with laughter and was soon attacking Lily too. The boys watched on in amazement. There were two beautiful girls in front of them, wearing barely anything and tickling each other and none of the guys could do anything about it or join in. They watched speechless as the girls jumped up and started to strip, right there in the middle of the quidditch pitch. Both girls stood in bikinis, Lily's being black and highcut; Hermione's was blue with strings that tied it all together. Both girls took off like a shot towards the lake and dove in.
"I suddenly have the strongest urge to go for a swim! What do you say, fellows?"
Sirius got an affirmative from the whole group, except Remus.
When everyone ran ahead, James and Sirius stepped beside Remus.
"Moony, old man, what's the problem? I know it was your first time seeing a female body that scantly clothed, but if you expect to lose it before you graduate, you need to loosen up," James teased, clapping him on the back. By the time the three came to the lake Remus had made up his mind; he would go swimming, if even to just enjoy the day. When they reached the water, every other guy was already in the lake. They heard a screech and the next thing Remus was on his back with a wet female laying on top of him.
"I'm so sorry, Remus!" He looked up into a pair of chocolate brown eyes and a beautiful face. He felt his body start to react and he quickly rolled away. Just then, the second girl came running up and hugged James. He was a little shocked, but when he looked down he was staring back at his girlfriend. He snapped out of his daze and realized this was his girlfriend parading around in practically nothing in front of all of these horny teenage guys. He took off his shirt and put it over her.
"You looked cold," was his lame excuse.
"James Potter, are you jealous? You know I only belong to you!" Lily whispered the last part to him and he felt shivers run up and down his spine. She then proceeded to snog him sensless in front of everyone. Her cap had fallen off and everyone could see the tell-tale red hair of Lily Evans. If that was Lily, that meant that the other female had to be Hermione. Everyone turned to her and only stared. She was drying herself off and putting her clothes back on. It seemed everything she did was super sexy. Some of the guys boldly approached her and asked her out. Remus, still wet from his assault, stepped back out of the crowd and headed towards the castle. Sirius stopped him and told him, "If ever you were looking for the perfect time, that was it."
"You heard what she said to some of them, she's interested in someone else. She could have anyone, why would she want to be stuck with a monster like me?" Just as Remus finished saying this, he felt himself being tugged around. Spinning to face the opposite direction he felt a sting on his cheek and then a burning sensation, followed shortly by two warm, soft, moist lips pressed against his. It took a minute for his brain to register what this was and when he finally did, he no longer cared and gave as good as he got. Off in the distance someone cleared their throat. Snapping out of his daze, he looked down and was staring into Hermione's face. He felt slightly shocked and very turned on.
She was looking up at him and smiling brightly. He felt so happy, but reality hit him. How long could this last? Either until he told her what he was or until she found out on her own. If he ended this before it started the pain would be less.
"So after you give us a strip show, is this how you entice all of your potential bed customers?" Remus bit out. He turned and stalked off to the castle once again. James, Lily and Sirius were the only ones close enough to hear what Remus said, and to say they were all shocked was an understatment. They turned towards Hermione and noticed tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry!" Lily tried to comfort her best friend.
Sirius put his arm around her and whispered to her, "None of us think that of you. Just remember what I said to you in Hogsmeade last time." He took his arm off of her shoulders and walked ahead with James, who had given Hermione's hand a squeeze in support. The two girls walked behind, Hermione leaning against Lily.
"You know the really sad thing, Lils? Even after what he said, I still think I love him."
Lily looked up to the sky. Remus had really buggered this one up. Hermione had told her about some of her sexual experiences, leaving out the part that all of this took place in the future. She knew Hermione now deeply regretted being that way and it was still an open wound for her. What she also told Lily, that she had not told another living soul, was that this all started in her sixth year when she was raped by Death Eaters. They say everyone has a flight or fight instinct, Hermione definitely had fight. She decided she would make every male pay for what had happened to her. She would leave a trail of broken hearts and deep longing, never to be filled again. Sure she put up the facade of not wanting to break anyones heart, of complete caring and innocence, but in reality she could care less. What better way to get back at them; what male would resist a gorgeous female willing to sleep and do other things with him? Remus was the first male in a very long time, besides Ron and Harry, that she truly and deeply cared for and about, even though it was a different kind of caring, since she considered them to be like brothers to her. When they reached the common room, Hermione went straight to her room. Lily found the two boys rounding on Remus and she went to join them.
"Gentlemen, we need to take this someplace a little more private." They all nodded, and James and Sirius lifted Remus off the couch, not giving him much say in the matter. They waited for Lily to disarm the stairs and headed for her and Hermione's room. She knew Hermione was going to kill her for this, but it needed to be done. She opened the door and Sirius and James tossed Remus in on his rear. They quickly shut the door and warded it. Remus turned to see a mass laying on the furthest bed, her face in the pillows, silently sobbing. Each sob tore Remus' heart out and he was already feeling guilty for what he had said.
"Hermione, please look at me. I already feel like the biggest royal arse right now. I am so sorry for what I said, I didn't mean any of it. Honestly, I would never think something like that of you. I was just scared and thought if I ended things before they started, it would be easier for everyone. Most people run after they get to know the real me. Only James, Sirius and Peter have stuck by my side, even after they found out. I have watched countless girls run off literally screaming and then James or Sirius has to perform a memory charm on them. I wouldn't survive if I had to watch you run away and the others Obliviate you!"
The girl on the bed sat up and turned to Remus. "But you never even gave me a chance. Do you know that I have been asked out 71 times this year already? I turned them all down because I was interested in someone else and I was hoping he would ask me, but you never did ask. I thought maybe I wasn't being obvious enough so I started to flirt with you. Everyone else noticed it, but not you. The one person I wanted most was pushing me away."
"You wanted me? Trust me, I knew you were flirting. Each time after I had to go to the loo and "calm" myself down, but you don't know about me."
"If you so much as use that werewolf excuse I will hex you into next week!"
Remus sat there with his jaw on the bed, "How...?"
"I have known for a while, Remus."
Outside the door the two boys sat listening while Lily was lookout. When Hermione made the werewolf comment, both James and Sirius pointed to one another and mouthed.."You?" before both shook their heads in reply. Lily turned in time to see the two boys shaking their heads.
"Did she just tell him that she knows about him?"
"What do you mean?"
"Jamsie, stupidity is really not your forte. You know, about him being a werewolf." Lily said calmly, shrugging her shoulders.
"How did you know?"
"Come on, if anyone thought about it, it's obvious. Hermione figured it out pretty early on and when she started asking questions I pieced it together. What? Don't look so shocked, between Hermione, myself and Narcissa Black we hold the top three spots in the school for grades. I may not be the best prankster, but if you ever need a strategic planner, I'm your girl."
"Oh yeah, what have you planned?"
"You remember in 3rd year when all of the teachers had mysteriously gotten boils? I had found the potion, brewed it and planned how to get it to all of the teachers. Someone else just executed the plan."
"That was you? We got blamed for it! That was bloody brilliant; a true work of genius. No one knew who did it, so they just blamed us. Not that we minded, got the whole school a week off. Wow, my girlfriend, master mind extraordinaire!" James was so proud he looked like he was going to pop. Sirius waved his arms and motioned for them to be quiet. He pressed his ear back against the door and made a weird face. Both James and Lily ran up and joined Sirius. From inside the room the arguing had stopped and every once in a while a moan could be heard.
"They're not?... are they?" Lily asked slowly.
"If they aren't already, they will be soon from the sounds of it!" James and Sirius high fived each other and pumped their fists in the air while chanting quietly, "Go Remus, go Remus!"
"You guys really need help if your getting off on your friends' sexual experiences."
"Well. we could always go and make our own sexual experiences."
"Sure, lets go!" Lily stood up and held out her hand for James. His pants tented immediately and he looked at Sirius like he couldn't believe his luck. Lily caught his look to Sirius.
"If you really want Sirius to join us, I'm game, I just thought it would be uncomfortable for you to watch your best friend banging your girlfriend, but hey. Maybe I could even watch the two of you going at it." Both boys looked at her shocked and then realized she had been pulling their legs.
"Haha, very funny, Lily. It's not nice to give a horny bloke hope and then dash it away."
"Aww poor baby, I'll try and make it up to you."
"Would you two quit it? Another horny guy over here who doesn't feel like getting the crap kicked out of him by his best friend."
The three laughed and headed down to the common room. Lily was going to sleep in Remus' bed for the night. Each of their imaginations was working overtime, trying to figure out exactly what Hermione and Remus were doing.
