Time Skip To Third year of Hogwarts...
Hermione POV
Seeing Harry face to face with Remus once more I had to make a choice and quick. Raising my hands up to cup my mouth I let out a loud,"AROOOO!" Harry next to me tries to put my hands down asking," What are you doing?!"
"Saving your life!" Raising my hands up I let out a louder howl," AROOOOOO!"
Seeing Remus running forward towards us I start running fast as I could in one direction and I push Harry to go another direction. Looking back I see Remus chasing after me. I trip over a root and when I land on the ground I put my arms over my head ready for impact.
Then I hear the sound yelping of pain and growling. I look back and see a black wolf attacking Remus to drive him away from me. Taking the opportunity I get up and run off away from the wolves fighting. Stopping a moment I look back to see Remus running off in a different direction from the black wolf. Catching the wolf's golden eyes I didn't want to turn away. It felt like I was safe, and a feeling that I couldn't place. The wolf kept looking at me before dashing off as I hear," Hermione!"
Hearing Harry coming up behind me I look back as Harry comes up behind me. "Hermione! Are you ok," He asked breathless as he catches his breath and looking at her with concern.
"I'm alright, Harry," I say as I look at him.
"Come on! We need to save Sirius," He exclaimed as he grabs my hand and makes me follow him. I look back not seeing the wolf but follow Harry to save Sirius.
Fenrir POV:
Something told me to come out of the Enchanted part of the forest to the Dark Forest. More like my wolf was pawing for the freedom to run. As the moon rose over the mountains I shed my coat and wait for the transition to take place. Feeling my bones grind and shift makes me groan out in pain for a moment.
Once the pain subsides I feel my wolf dashing us off into the forest. Dodging trees left and right enjoying the freedom when suddenly my wolf stops and ears perks up at the sound of a howl.
My wolf says to me in my mind,"Mate!"
Running off quick as lightening strike my wolf dashes towards the howl. Then to my delight there she was running towards me.
Then as she trips on a root she covers her head as my wolf growls seeing the wolf about to pounce her. Attacking the wolf I start biting and clawing of the wolf defending my mate from him.
Once he submits he runs off in a different direction from Hermione I look for her seeing as she a few feet from me I stare at her and feel like I was home.
Hearing someone coming I took off and hid in some nearby bushes to keep an eye on her. My wolf licks his lips in anticipation.
"Mate! Mark now," he exclaimed as she follows the boy away.
"No! we must wait," I explained. "All good things come to those who wait..."
Hermione POV:
Looking out at the hospital wing's window into the Dark Forest I couldn't get my mind off of the wolf. His black fur almost glowing in the moonlight. His golden eyes shining out staring back onto me. There was something familiar about the wolf that sends shivers down my spine. We were to go home soon and not sure if I was going to see the wolf anytime since. I think I'll have to do research on it and see. Though I learned about werewolves this year there was nothing in notations of having the feeling of...being protected felt like.
Maybe I can ask Professor Lupin about it. There was a good chance that I could get more information about it that way...
Time Skip...
I was about to knock on the door when he calls out," Come in Hermione..." Stepping in I look at him seeing him with some bandages as he is packing some books away. "I've looked worse...I was expecting Harry..."
"I had a question Profess..."
"Please, Hermione just call me Remus since I'm no longer your professor. Ask away though."
I know I was feeling nervous and uncertain of how to say the question so I start off with," There was another werewolf...last night that saved me from you."
He looks up at me bewildered and stops what he was doing. "What did the wolf look like?"
"Fully black...with gold eyes...," I say as I fiddle with a slight bit of my skirt.
He takes a seat as his face turned paler like he was a ghost.
Looking at him with curiosity I step forward and ask," When the wolf and I stared at each other...it felt...like I was safe...no harm would come to me like I knew that and so much more."
He looks up at me and nods," You're the wolf's mate...It's very rare but...not unheard of."
"Then why hasn't there been anything in the books I've read about werewolves," I asked as I looked at him confused.
"It's not known to wizards or witches because, there hasn't been a lot of research to be able to see about that sort of thing. You see..." He sighs softly as he ran a hand through his hair. "Werewolves are not accepted into the wizarding world for their ability to shift into something different but, the lack of being they are. To some people we are not able to control their...inner beasts I guess you could say. There are some though that have learned to control the beast by means of the wolves bane potion or of just having inner peace with their beasts. I have to take the potion in order to control my...wolfish tendencies. The one who bit me...tried to teach me how to accept my wolf to be at peace...but, I never completed it."
Nodding in understanding I look up at him and ask," And the mate thing?"
"Ah, yes, the mating is when a wolf and someone else stare each other in the eyes and the bonding will begin. Sometimes the bonding will be pleasant like having the feeling of being home...then there's the hardships of the bonding...where if they were to be apart it will hurt them being a part. Some say it hurts worse than the Crutiatus Curse. The feeling of having your heart split in two..."
Looking at me I couldn't help but, raise my hand to my heart to calm myself down.
"You feel it now...don't you," He asked with uncertainty.
I nod my head lightly as I feel cold and shivers lightly,"It hurts a little...what happens if I leave Hogwarts?"
Remus looked perplexed like I had stumbled into unknown territory.
"I'll discuss with Dumbledore before I leave about this. If that is ok," He asked with clarity.
"Of course. Just...Harry and Ron..."
"Will not know a thing..." Remus says gently like putting me at ease.
Giving him a small smile I turn to leave before looking back at him," Thank you, Remus."
Then I left to get the last of my items together for the train ride home.
Remus POV:
After walking out of the class room leaving Harry behind I head straight for his office. The griffin statue moved instantly over as I walked up and made my way up the stairs. Opening the door with my free hand I step inside and then close the door behind me.
"We need to talk...," I say worriedly.
He sits forward and nods," That we do Remus...seems it is time."
