Chapter XI

The night of the full moon was drawing near at hand and Hermione filled with dread and awed over what was to happen that following evening. After spending five long days with hormonal dreams about her and Remus in so many positions that just made her want to find him and head for the room of Requirements and live out those wild fantasies she had been visioning.

No bad Hermione, bad very bad, don't you even think like that. You're from the future and he's your professor for Merlin's sake. You can't have yourself in a teacher-student relationship and what would Harry and Ron say if they heard you were having wet dreams about having sex with him.

Well you wouldn't exactly have a teacher-student relationship if you're both the same age now can you and what Harry and Ron won't know, won't hurt them.

Err, stop it you haven't even dated yet and now you want to mate! Use your brain, you can't, I repeat you can't shag your future professor! Think of your future! Do you want to become Mrs. Hermione Lupin when you get back!

She was getting a terrible migraine from all this, debating about the situation and thinking it was never going to end until the day of the lunar moon was finished until next month.

Her blood was coursing like fire through her veins and muscles trembled in excitement, knowing her senses had heighten but had to fight back the urges to change. She wasn't sure why but felt vigorous and alive so sudden and it wasn't due to her river running red.

In other words, her period had started same time as Keller's and went to go use the bathroom and pick either the pads or tampons that she'd brought and chose pads to seem less questionable if anyone dare asked what the tubes were for and they weren't eager to explain.

Tonights the big night make sure you're ready for it. Meet me in the Room of Requirements after dinner. Hermione lift her head up from the notes she written on Banshees and saw Keller glancing her way and nodded as they finished the rest of their classes, taking down homework that would be due in a couple days and join everyone for dinner then headed earlier to sneak into the room of requirement where it change to Keller's again and waited in anticipation, getting hyped for the full moon.

Tonight, tonight of all nights the moon would be growing round and full and Remus would go straight to the Whomping Willow for the Shrieking Shack and transform.

The werewolf in him had been quiet throughout the day, knowing he was going to be release once the moon rises. But that wasn't what worried him, not forgetting what had happened and been made mention earlier.

Sonja still carried his mark and he knew that the beast in him would want to hunt her down and claim her as his intended.

He wanted to avoid that much as possible, to keep her away from the danger. But she had been in all his classes and in his mind for hours and felt a dark desire grow and had to contain himself before he did something that they would both regret. It grew worst with each passing moment and knew his control over the creature within would not last long until he was in the shack and would release it there and lose all control of Remus J. Lupin, in it's place Moony.

James, Sirius and Peter were to meet him later when everyone had fallen asleep and snuck out of the castle, taking the invisibility cloak and the Marauder's map in case anyone, most likely Flinch and Ms. Norris were in the halls, checking for wandering students after curfew. They said their goodbyes to him after dinner and the guys play a game of exploding snap in the common room to past the time before one by one students went to their dorms upstairs.

Sirius was not doing his best as he couldn't concentrate on his cards because one question seem to be bothering him after his detention a few days ago about what Snape had said. It buzzed around him like an annoying snitch and was too hard to avoid or shoo away.

One-sided love that's what Snivellus said, one-sided as if telling him he was the one to fall for her, the girl who refuse to acknowledge him after his many attempts, who turn down his charms.

Ha please! Him, Sirius Black, the guy with his many wits and alluring charms and girls that flock to line up for a chance to date and probably one or two snogs before he moved to another. Sure he try to flirt with her but that didn't seem to work, she'd given him the cold shoulder and ignored him throughout those classes. He figure that she could come later when he went to go with Annabel Christi, the Hufflepuff from Astronomy class who couldn't take her eyes from him and thought maybe a little jealousy would get her to notice. He had seen Keller glance in their direction, knowing she was watching and couldn't help but kiss the girl in front of her.

Half of him was disgusted with what he did and faced the consequences later as he dated the said Hufflepuff. That didn't last well as a week went by and decide to break it off which result her being in tears, begging and running down the hall, having swore to never speak to him again.

Then there was Sara Ashlars from Ravenclaw, didn't work there either and went to the next one, dating and snogging then breaking up as he didn't see it working out between them.

Every girl he went and snog, all he could think about was her, Keller. She was constantly on his mind, imaging how if she were to gaze at him with something other than contempt or dislike. And how could he forget what happened the last few nights.

He had been thinking about her as he lay to sleep only to wake up two hours later when he heard the loud grunting snore of Peter in his bed. He snorted, great, I forgot to put the silently charm, Peter's snoring really can be annoying.

"I've to agree with you. Peter's does sound like a foghorn, wouldn't you think so?"

Sirius jerked up, startled, turning around to see the occupant next to him, sliding into his bed and closing the curtains around them. It was Keller, he couldn't believe it as he watch her placed a silencing charm around the bed and scoot closer to him.

"Don't want anyone to hear us…" He held the sheet up to his chest, wishing he had something on other than just boxer, which what he usually wore when he slept. Keller smiled and seeming amused by this, giggled with her hand covering her mouth.

Did she just giggled?! This took him off guard, he had never seen the typical stoic Keller smile or laugh like that but never like this to him.

What, why would she and why the bloody hell was she in his bed! Not that he didn't mind really though he was sure Keller would never come crawling in his bed and…

He tried to find his wand while saying, holding it shaky in his grasp, "W-who are you and what have you done to the real Keller?"

"Oh Sirius you're such a jest." She grabbed the tip of his wand and held it between her finger, rubbing against it smooth surface, never breaking eye contact with him, "I'm right here and have been waiting for you. It's taken me a long while for me to realize it but deep down I…I…"

"That you what? Why are you in the boy's room, in my bed even and what in Merlin's name are you wearing?!" She wore a black lace nightgown that reaches above her calves, covering her underwear and was so transparent he could see her breast and how hard her nipples were. Keller looked down at herself and pout cutely, which freaked him out even further forgetting that he was starting to feel turn on by all this.

"Oh do you not like it Sirius, I am wearing this for you? Do you know what red represent, it passion and love but I think you prefer black being sexy and dangerous, and believe me I think you know what I am and what you want…" She smiled as she edge closer, one of the thin straps fell from her shoulder and he kept moving behind until his back hit the wall and she was closing the distance between them, leaving him no chance to escape. He could feel her body pressing and grinding against him and had to keep himself in control while her fingers over his wand move slowly up and down and looked at him still, looking almost like hungry predator.

"Don't you feel we have something…don't you feel a fire between us that is burning with desire…can't you feel it Sirius?" She inch closer to him until her lips was over his and breathing warm and husky, "Because I do and what I want is you." She took one of his hand and lead it under her dress, watching how she move the satin material away and having him feel her soft velvety skin underneath. He felt his fingers slide over one of her breast, the round globe soft in his hand and moving further onto her cool belly, how nice and smooth it was, and down to where they stop over her knickers, very nice looking knickers he saw…

"Um Keller, I don't think we should, I mean you, me…" He saw her gaze on him and felt her hand let go and remove the other off his wand and then pulled the blanket away from his waist.

"Keller what are you doing, what exactly are you—" She places one finger over his lip to hush him then pull it away and kissed him. He was a little bit confused but soon responded to her kiss, hearing the soft moan coming from her. He drop his wand and felt it slide off the bed but didn't really care as he had both his hands roaming over her body. It wasn't long before the dress was removed and only those black sexy knickers were left. He was fingering them and she seem to taken what he was trying to do, thinking in consideration when she pulled his fingers off them and he look to her questioning.

"Let me pleasure you first…"

He didn't understand what she meant before she lower herself down, pressing kisses against his chest and moving to where his boxers were. Well they didn't stay there long as she rid him of them and then did something he never expect. She took him in her mouth. He gasped and felt her tongue circling around him before she started to move up and down, making him grow hard and harder as she sucked and heard himself groaning, wanting to release but wanted to hold on to this moment. He buck his body to her and grabbed her hair, holding her still as she continue not before long he had to let go.

"KELLER!!!" He cried her name and before he knew it the pressure was gone and so was Keller.

It was always the same disturbing thing when he woke up and found his boxers and sheets covered in semi sticky white cum and had to instantly take a quick cold shower to get rid of the semen stuck to his lower region. He was grateful that James and Remus were heavy sleepers and Peter's loud snoring otherwise they might have heard him moaning in his sleep and never let him live it down if they figure who he had been dreaming about.

The dreams were constant and whenever he saw her and smell her perfume, or at least he thought it was that left him with a hazy strange feeling and found himself already dreaming.

Shit! He had been having these in class sometimes and had to keep himself from looking at her or else he might feel a constriction down in his pants, thankfully concealed by his robes but had a hard time walking it off or using the bathroom if possible from asking a teacher to excuse him.

Why this was happening to him, he didn't know. It certainly hadn't happen when he first saw her after she landed on him that first time or when he saw her out running by the lake as he got up one morning to use the bathroom and look outside the window or when she had been hitting that block of wood with her face held in pure determination. When he touched her hands in Divination and looked into her hazel eyes, he had seen nothing but secrecy filled with loneliness and sadness in her gaze. He couldn't exactly shake her from his mind, he needed to find out what it was before it became worse for him.

He looked to James, the only expert beside him though his relationships never lasted long but he and Lily seem to be hitting it off pretty well after six years of her refusing to date him and then now.

He wasn't going to ask in front of Peter, that was way too embarrassing, imagine saying, 'Prongs, old buddy old pal, I have a problem? I think there's something wrong with me, I keep thinking of Keller. She's always in my dreams and constantly making me think of her in black nighties and did you know she likes to moan loudly as I kiss her neck and whenever I touch her skin. I don't know what to do as I usually think more on snogging girls than having crushes or wet dreams on girls most of the time, moving from one to the other so what do you think Dr. Prongs, any idea on my diagnosis or should I ship myself to St. Mungos?'

Nope, sounded way too corny and crazy and his friends would think so too as if he gone mental. He could wait until Peter was out of here have James to talk in private and in the meantime he needed to improve his game. After three more rounds, finally winning the last one, guessing they saw how sorely he was losing, Peter went to go to use the John and saw this was his chance.

"Oy Prongs? I got a question I like to ask? How did you know you well liked Lily after her constant refusals to you through all these years? How come you just didn't give up and found some other girl?"

James looked towards him and thinking for a moment said, "Well I guess at first I thought it was my personal ego that every girl but her wanted to go out with me and I wanted to prove her wrong you know, male egotist that what she told me you know, saying I had too big of an ego where I wouldn't be able to find a hat to wear if I didn't deflate it.

"Later it turns to admiration, admiring everything about her from her fiery red hair and attitude to her emerald green eyes and good-hearted spirit where she made everyone, except Snivellus, feel welcomed and open and I could think that was the most wonderful thing of her being. I only thought of her day in and day out until I could never really fall asleep without her constantly in my dreams.

"And sometimes I wondered to myself, was she the one, the one I been looking for in my life? I know it sounds corny but hey it felt like I had to wonder and I had to realize that it had to be. Sure we had a few quarrels, her refusing to go out with me and me never giving up or learning how to quit but later we both admit to our feelings and that's how it happened."

Now he looked questioning to him, "Why Padfoot, got some girl in mind? Who is it? Is it someone we know, tell me who the lucky girl is that caught Mr. Padfoot fluffy tail?" Sirius didn't say anything as he took in what James had said.

That's it, that's what he had to do. Admit his feelings? Admit to Keller that he somehow thinks he liked her. He could try that; though he wasn't sure what she might say if she heard that coming from him. James looked to his watch and turn to him, "Moony's waiting for us. Time to get going."

"'Ime to get 'oing!" Hagrid said, after Keller finished feeding Orion and checking how he was faring with his recovery. Apparently he was getting better and was starting to flap his tiny wings and hovered a few inch off the ground before landing back down, looking very proud of himself. He was galloping joyfully around Keller and Hermione who bravo his small flight, petting and scratching his head.

"Con'grats 'eller! Seems 'Rion is going to learn to fly soon, just like his own mum! Won't that be exciting to see, the two of 'ou flying tog'ther!"

Keller blushed but she was glad to hear Orion would one day get to fly and maybe together side by side with Hermione riding on his back taking off to the sky. They went out to the forest, the syringe with the serum held securely was attached to her armband protected and ready to use. A little bit to inject in both should do the trick for them just to get their cycles down a few well notches. They wore their undershirts and Keller wore a pair of tight jean while Hermione a short skirt good for running in the open.

The girls look to the moon and felt the change happening, Keller expanding her wings and spreading them out took off to the sky while Hermione ran on the ground, the night invigorant and wild like they were, so full of life, free and untamable. It felt good to have the freedom to run wild like this. They didn't even listen to hear the faint howl coming off in the distance.

Remus couldn't think this night could get any worse as he sat alone in the Shrieking Shack, discard of his clothes and sitting naked with a batter torn blanket stain rusty brown with dried blood covering him from the coldness of the room. The wolf was waiting impatiently for its release and he though in a few more minutes it would have it. He heard something go past the Willow; his senses already heighten where appeared at the door a large stag and a giant black dog.

James and Sirius in their animagus forms, Prongs and Padfoot.

"Hey guys how are you both doing?" He asked stupidly and before they could try to maybe indicate something to answer his question the Change started.

His bones were growing and snapping, changing and molding to a different structure than what he was use to. His teeth grew sharper inside his mouth while his jaw protrudes and a snout appeared, his eyes dilating. Fur sprouted all over his body, thicken and grew until he had a silvery gray pelt while his hands and feet turn into sharp dangerous claws, extending and lengthening from his fingertips. The transformation was nearing completion as he gave a long howl and here he stood as Moony the werewolf. He looked to the stag and dog, knowing they were his friends, Prongs and Padfoot and not to hurt them.

Padfoot the dog stood up on his hind legs and yap in greeting, waving one of his paws as if to say, 'Nice to see you again Moony!' James just bowed his antlered head while Moony paced the room and was stretching himself, getting use to his body again as he was going to start scratching around him soon when he caught a whiff of something coming through the tunnel and heading toward the shack. He move past the two and down the stairs and Sirius and James looked to one another before following after him. James was far ahead of Padfoot and Moony with his long legs and stamina and caught the scent that he could recognize as someone he didn't expect to come.

Oh Merlin no! He went faster, passing through the tunnel and changing form as he got to the entrance where he saw Snape coming in. He lunged at him, grabbing his arm and dragging him out.

"What the Bloody Hell?!" Snape cried as he and James flew out of the hole and onto the ground. James was getting up and trying to pull Snape to his feet as he refused to until he got answers. "There's no time you idiot, get the Hell out of here and don't look back!"

"Are you bloody insane, what are you talking about Potter! What are you—" James was trying to get him moving before the worst came in the open literally. Remus had gotten through the tunnel and entrance of the Whomping Willow and was running towards them, Sirius behind as he tried to stop him by snapping at his heel and trying to drag the werewolf back in. Snape was frozen in fear as he stared into the amber eyes of the beast and James was grabbing him, pulling him up and started running.

The werewolf gave chase as he went after two; the dog at his heels was annoying but ignored it as he raced after them and saw one of the boys tripped and fall while the other ran back to help him.

He was gaining and could almost reach them, their fear radiating off their bodies, coursing the blood in the both of them. And all he wanted was to sink his teeth into their throats and ripped them—

He stopped when the wind blew in his face and a scent penetrated his nostrils. Its aroma was that intoxicating like cinnamon and cloves with a hint of musk. It smelled arousing. A female was nearby and in heat.

The scent was growing stronger and coming from the woods and he turn his back to the two boys and ran off to the Forbidden forest.

James and Sirius, catching up to his side, watched Moony head off to the forest, wondering what was that about. James picked up the unconscious Snape and said to Sirius, "I'll drop Snape off at the hospital wing to Madame Promfrey, saying he got knocked out cold or something I can think of until we figure something out. Meanwhile go to the forest and follow after Moony and try to stop him."

The black dog nodded and went to follow after the said werewolf, the moonlight illuminating the path for him through the dangerous forest. He could also sense something in the air, betting that was what Moony was going after. Whatever it was that caught Moony's attention he hoped wasn't as dangerous as him, at least not like another werewolf or something right?

Keller and Hermione had a good hunt going for them while they were in a small clearing, their bodies satisfy with the blood and had plenty of time before heading back to the castle.

But why waste a night that seems so pleasant and relaxing and should enjoy it while they could for the time. Beside they could handle themselves and with no Remus to come harm them, what could possible go wrong?

Keller was hanging upside down with her clawed feet attached on the branch like a sleeping bat and Hermione laying on a rock basking in the moonlight like she was sunbathing or should she say 'moonbathing' and was tracing shapes in the sky. She had made a goblet of pumpkin juice, the Hogwarts train, and the castle itself before asking out of the blue, Hey Kell what're you thinking right now at this moment?

Hermione was connecting a column of stars to look like a wolf baying right by the moon itself while Keller peered over at her with everything looking upside down in her vision.

"Oh I don't know, I suppose a few things like how it's so nice out here, it's relaxing, serene and quiet, almost haunting." Hermione sat up, leaning on one arm as she turn around and looked at her with a raised eyebrow, curious by what she was saying, "Oh and what's that suppose to mean." Her sentence becoming clear like crystal with the way she spoke. She had been speaking better after a few weeks under Keller's tutoring and teaching her to force less air through her vocal chords so she wouldn't have to grunt or snarl like a dog and practice saying her name many times until it came out clear.

Keller stretch her wings and then pulled herself upright and recline on the tree branch and stare up to the moon and sang in a soft melancholic whisper that surprised and amazed Hermione as she never heard her sing before in a voice that sounded spellbinding and the forest gave her music from the windy breeze blowing in their hair to the nightly movement of the other wandering creatures for her haunting song.

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Hermione listened captivated and the next thing she knew she found herself joining in, her voice becoming seductive and filled with mystery, singing the next verse to the song.

Hunting you I can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head

They sang, gaining strength to make their voices become one as their song surround them and towards the moon as if this song were meant for its' goddess.

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me, raping me, watching me

Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you... loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Hermione and Keller look once more to the sky, feeling lost in the melody, reminiscing in the moment and then heard a sound that both frighten and startled them out of their tranquil state. A lone howl was coming in the distance and heard the growling coming closer.

No it can't be! Hermione stood up while Keller jump off the branch and landed on the ground gracefully and sniffed the air, catching many different scents but one in particular came out stronger and her eyes widen and turn to Hermione with alarm and worry.

"It's Remus, and it's not good! He's a lycan now." And Hermione knew what that meant as only what Keller had told her before back in the room so many days ago.

On the night of when the moon is full and when a mate must mate, the male will follow after his intends' scent and never give up the hunt until he has caught and marked her.

There was a full moon, a werewolf who marked her once and needed to do it two more times and her scent was practically out in the opened, damn! Why didn't she just put a sign on herself saying, 'Fresh virgin, come and get it!'

Keller seem to snap out of it as she grab hold of Hermione and look her straight in the eye, "Mione, run back to the castle, find some place to hide and stay there and don't come out. I'll handle Remus. Go and hurry!" She looked unsure and reluctant to leave her cousin by Moony's paws but one look from her cousin made her nod as she ran from their spot and headed back to the grounds. Be careful then!

"Don't worry I will Mione. I promise I won't let anything bad happen and I won't." Keller saw the glowing amber eyes from the bushes following in the direction where Hermione was going and was about to go after her.

Oh no you don't! Not on my watch Remus! And Keller lung straight at him, giving a hollow shriek and knocked him over to the other side with a hard swift kick to the gut. He tumbled backwards but then got back up on his feet and growled at the intruder who dare get in his way. He would have to deal with this one before he can go after his mate.

Keller beckon with her claws and hiss, Com'n, you got to get pass me so come on and give me your best shot Moony. He snarled, snapping his jaw and rushed at her and tried to aim for her throat but she dodged him at the last minute.

"Ah what's the matter Moony, too slow I thought you could do better than that if you want to get to my cousin?" She taunt as he tried to make a swipe but missed again as she flew to the other side and him chasing after her. She had to make him stay as far away from Hermione as long as possible, until the moon was gone and Remus change back into his human form again.

She felt his claws almost slicing at her ankle and flew at the last second up and behind and gave him a hard hit in the shoulders, knocking him forward on the ground once again.

The lycan tried to stand back up as Keller land on his back, holding him down with her foot on his spine with much of her hybrid strength as he struggled to get her off.

She thought that perhaps Remus needed the serum more than she did and would like to see if it would work for him like any other lycan. She removed the syringe that she had strapped on her forearm and slid off the protective cap from the needle.

"This will be for your own good, you'll either thank me for this or try to tear my throat again, depending if this works or not." She was about to stick it in the back of his jugular region when something huge and black pounce out of nowhere, knocking her off his back and onto the ground. The werewolf stares for a moment at the two, a large black dog and the other creature struggling around before he got back up and disappearing off to chase after his mate.

"Get off me damn it!" She snarl at the large canine growling and snapping his teeth to reach for her throat while she held him under his neck, keeping them at a still point where they were sort of out of each other's harm.

Well not for long… She kept her eyes on him as she placed both her legs under and pushed him off hard, making him hit a tree with a 'wham' a few feet away from her. She watched as he fell to the ground and laid there still before he struggled back up on his feet and stood, his body still shaking from impact but continue to snarl at her immensely. She hissed, pulling her lips back and showing her fangs, her eyes staring at his silver-blue eyes never leaving his sight.

Wait, silver-blue eyes, she knew only one person within Hogwarts with those, even his goddamn scent was so familiar! She growled, this time thoroughly pissed as once again he got in her way.

"Black! Sirius Black!" The dog stopped snarling and stared at her momentarily confused.

H-how did this creature know his name? Sirius didn't know how it knew as he looked at it strangely. Somehow it seem to look familiar to him, the smell he could detect and recognize as female because of her heat but there was something else to her, that scent was…it couldn't be…could it?

He transformed back, his clothes and skin covered in dirt, his hair shaggy and wild all over his face and his back hurt like hell but he didn't care about that as he stared at her, completely befuddled and confused, not believing what he was seeing could be the actually same person he knew, "Keller? Keller is that really you?"

She rolled her eyes and transformed halfway back into her normal guise. "No it's the tooth fairy who came early tonight, of course it's bloody me you asshole!" She hissed menacingly, her wings spread out behind and was pissed off. Sirius was staring with wide-eye at the wings shook as he tried to speak but all that came out was gibberish, "How-when-what?"

"I don't have time to answer any of your questions," She said, realizing she was wasting time and that Remus could be getting to Hermione at any second, "I have to go and help Mione before she gets hurt by Remus!" And took off before he had time to ask her exactly who she meant.

Mione? Who's Mione, last time he remember he hadn't heard any girl called by that name before.

And Remus, shit! He transformed back into the grim and started following them, hoping he could stop Moony in time.

Merlin please let me reach him in time otherwise he and us are official screwed. And ran faster, hoping to catch his werewolf buddy before he could reach the grounds.
