Hermione went forward and kissed Severus on the cheek. “How are you?” she asked.

“Not too bad.” He answered with a small smile.

The boys stayed quiet and just sat at the table. They didn’t know what to believe anymore. Ron was red in the face, but held his tongue. Harry looked at Hermione. “’Mione. About the… er… thing we were doing?” She nodded. “We’re done. Except for the snake and You-Know-Who himself.”

“We need to hold an order meeting” she replied. “You’re ready Harry?” He nodded. “Can you go to Headquarters and tell them we’ll be having an order meeting?” Harry stood up and started for the fireplace. “Ron, you too.” He looked up at her. “Please. We’ll need a strategy and we’ll need you. Start at Headquarters and get as many people as you can. Come up with some ideas that we can discuss at the meeting.”

“I don’t want to leave you here with him”, he said through clenched teeth. “They wouldn’t let us come for a week!”

“Ron. First off, I’m the one that set when I wanted people to come, not them. Second, I’ve been with these two all week and I’m fine. Don’t give me grief over what you don’t understand.”

“I’m not leaving you again ‘Mione. I can’t. Not after…”

“I know Ron.” She said softly. “I know, trust me. I was there, remember? But I’m not alone here. I’m in good company” Ron choked at this. Hermione glared at him. “I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, so shut up Ronald. This is my family and you will respect me and them.”

“I’m sorry! I can’t just change overnight. I haven’t seen anything that would make him trustworthy. He killed…”

“You might want to hold your tongue” Remus growled at him. “Do not speak of what you don’t understand. You don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything! And you haven’t seen anything to make him trustworthy? What about lying to you-know-who about Hermione being alive? What about bringing her here to be cared for?”

“Why here? Why not bring her to Headquarters?”

“How would he get there? Sure he knew about where it was, but would he be welcome.” Hermione replied. She took a deep breath. “I am beyond grateful that Severus brought me here.” She smiled at the dark man. Looking back at Ron she continued “you don’t know what I looked like Ron, you don’t know how I was.”

“Then tell me… us!” he yelled at her.

“You want to know, do you? You want to know how I was tortured? How I lost so much blood and was so near death that a proven spell and a werewolf couldn’t detect my heart beating?” Ron looked red in the face but nodded stiffly.

“Ron!” Harry finally jumped in, looking incredulously at his friend. “Hermione you don’t…”

Hermione looked at Harry “Thank you Harry, but apparently I do have to.” She looked back to Ron with a piercing glare. “Would a Pensieve do?” she sneered. “Or do I need to relive my horrors every time someone needs to know?”

“Hermione, you don’t have to prove yourself.” Remus interjected.

“Oh it’s not proving myself. If he wants my nightmares, he can have them.” Severus placed a pensieve on the table. Using her wand, Hermione removed the memories of that fateful night. When she was done, she looked pointedly at Severus. “If you would please show your memories regarding that night? I was not really in a proper frame of mind.” She smirked as he fought the smile. “From the point I’m brought in please.”

“Very well, Hermione” He did as she asked, ignoring the glares from the red head.

Finally Hermione looked at Remus. “Could you please?”

Remus glared at Ron. “You are the most selfish boy I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Do you understand what you’ve asked? You just can’t accept her word for it. Or is there something more that you are not telling. Something else that is causing you to act out this way.”

“Remus… Father… please.” He looked up at Hermione with a shocked expression. “I... I’m sorry. I should have asked.”

“No, no it’s fine. I think I like it.” Hermione grinned at the use of her response to his first time calling her Lobita. He placed his wand at his temple and put it into the penseive.

“Harry, go ahead and join him. I know you would have waited, but you might as well.” She watched as the two boys entered the penseive. Hermione sat beside Severus and put her head on his shoulder, while Remus sat on her other side and put his arm around her.

The three sat in silence for near an hour as the boys went through the many memories of the night. When the boys emerged, Harry had tear streaks down his face and ran behind where she was sitting and hugged her. Ron, who landed on his arse, looked green.

Harry had his nose in Hermione’s hair and sounded muffled as he spoke “Hermione, you are braver and stronger than I could ever be. What you went through… thank the gods you are here. I love you Hermione.”

Hermione felt a tear run down her face at his words. “I love you too Harry” she whispered. “Alright you two better get going. Plans to make, evil madmen to kill.” Harry chuckled at that. He released her and headed to the floo, trying to grab for Ron but failing.

“Hermione, I…” Ron tried

“Did you get what you needed Ronald? Now you know what I’ve been through. Are you happier for it?” She asked him. “Go. Leave. I’ll see you at the meeting.”

“But, ‘Mione…”

“Leave Ronald! And don’t call me ‘Mione. Not right now. I don’t like you very much right now.” She watched as his shoulders slumped and he finally turned and left. “Harry I’ll see you in a bit, alright?”

“Alright ‘Mione. See you later.” She smiled and nodded.

After they heard the whoosh of the floo, Hermione put her head on the table suddenly exhausted. She smelled and heard a plate of food being pushed in front of her face. “Eat up” Remus told her. “Don’t make me tell Severus to make you.” He said grinning.

She growled at him and started eating. The two men across the table grinned at her. “Shut it.” She growled out.

“Lobita” Remus said with a low growl.

Hermione shrunk in her seat. “Sorry. I’m tired. Those boys woke me up. Not to mention everything else” She rubbed her hand down her face, then looked at Remus thoughtfully. “I had another dream.”

“And this time?”

“I was running through the woods, but the golden wolf was beside me. We ran and drank from a ravine. At first it was just us, but soon we heard men running towards us. I ran off. Then the boys woke me.”

“I want you to keep a dream journal. Now that you are wolf, you may be dreaming of your mate.”

Hermione’s head popped up. “My… mate?”

“Another werewolf, yin to your yang. Essentially your soul mate”

“Any idea who it could be?” she asked, suddenly nervous.

“No, sorry. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

They finished their breakfast in silence and Hermione trudged back up the stairs. She laid on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

She felt stone beneath her paws as she ducked and wove between witches, wizards, and the spells they were firing. She had somewhere to be. She ran towards the center of the field and watched as a golden wolf ran towards her. She didn’t want to be deterred, so she kept running, trying to duck his attack. She wasn’t fast enough.

The two wolves went tumbling with a yelp. When they got up she growled menacingly at the golden wolf. Who was, very much, a male. Gunmetal eyes met brown and neither looked away. He smelled like home to her, but she had to go. She had to find her green-eyed friend. His head cocked to the side, seeming to assess her as well. He wasn’t growling anymore, so she lunged at him and knocked him into the stone ground.

She licked at the spot where his head hit the ground before running off to find her friend again…

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Hermione, wake up” she heard a voice above her.

The girl in question moaned and rolled over. “No” Then was laughing for five minutes as someone tickled her mercilessly. “ALRIGHT! I’m up!” She yelled.

She opened her eyes to see a red faced, smiling, Ginny Weasley looking down at her. “Hey ‘Mione.”

“Ginny!” She squealed out and jumped into her friends arms. Just as fast as she was in her friends arms, she was out.

“Get over here ‘Mione. I hope you didn’t think that I counted as someone not to tell?” Hermione looked up at her friend, eyes misted over. “Come here wolf.” She said with an endearing tone.

Hermione jumped into her friend’s arms and let her tears fall.

When she finally stopped crying, she turned to Ginny. “Thanks Gin.” The red head nodded.

“Come on, you’ve got some people waiting downstairs. Do you want to change? They don’t know.” Hermione looked down at her tank top and jeans. She grabbed a jacket from the bag brought in by the boys and put it on quickly, zippering it as high as it would go. She looked in the mirror to make sure the scar was hidden and nodded to her friend.

The girls headed downstairs to a full house. “Oh Gods.” The scents were entirely overwhelming. She tried to pick out a single one to focus on, but it was very difficult. She started backing up when Remus came walking towards her and pulled her into a hug, letting his scent relax the little wolf.

He whispered so low that her human ears would not have picked it up. “We need to tell them.” She shook her head. “They’re planning an attack on the full moon.” She tried to pick her head up, but he held it to his shoulder. “Trust them.” She nodded in assent.

She turned to the crowded room all staring at her. “Sorry I’ve only been around a few people at a time since… it happened.” They nodded in understanding… or what they thought they understood.

Molly Weasley came rushing forward and Hermione nearly fell down the stairs when she tried to back away. Remus whispered something to the older woman quickly. She looked at Hermione sadly and then walked away.

From across the room she saw Bill Weasley heading towards them. Hermione was shaking with nervous energy. He slowly approached her and put his nose to her neck and hugged her.

Hermione’s shaking stopped immediately and she looked up at Remus in wonder. He leaned to her ear and whispered one word. “Pack.”

The entire room of people watched this exchange. She could hear people whispering about what could possibly be going on. She began backing up the stairs again, but Bill caught her. She whimpered in his grasp.

Remus quickly brought attention away from her. “We are here because we want to win this war. We need this to end. No more lives need to be lost!” A cheer went up from the crowd. “Arthur, could you conjure some chairs?” The older Weasley nodded and put his wand to work, as did his wife. “Everybody please have a seat.” He waited as everyone but Hermione and Bill sat down. Now it is my understanding that you wish to force battle in a few weeks time.

“I understand the timing, but not many watch a calendar as I do.” This got a few laughs. “The night in question is the full moon.” Laughs turned to gasps.

“We’ll change it then” Ron Weasley piped in.

“No, Ron, the plan is in effect already. Severus has already gone to You-Know-Who with the information he was given to pass on.”

“But…”

“No! This is how it is meant to happen! Lo…Hermione, come here.” She backed up another stair. “Okay. Do you give me permission?” She nodded her head. “Long story or short story…” He asked rhetorically as he looked at the crowd. “Alright, listen to what I have to say. I will not answer questions and I will not repeat myself.”

“18 years ago I fell in love with a muggle woman. We all know that was the peak of you-know-who. I loved her and sent her into hiding. When he was gone, I went to get her to find she hadn’t waited for me, but had found a Muggle husband. Although I was hurt, I understood. When she answered the door that night, she held a child in her arms, swaddled in pink. Neither of us knew she was pregnant until it was too late. She would have been an unwed mother, looked down upon. She did what was best for herself and the child.

“At the time she told me the child wasn’t mine. But 11 years later I was called to Hogwarts. I was told I was indeed the child’s father, but was still not to be in the girl’s life.

“I’m sure you are aware of the basics of what happened a couple of weeks ago. Hermione was caught by Fenrir and brought to You-Know-Who. She wasn’t just caught. She was bitten and beaten to within an inch of her life. Severus was there, thank the gods. His heart rate spell registered her as dead because she was fading so quickly. You-know-who figured that by returning her body Severus would earn favor with the order. He was able to return her.” Remus took a breath and glanced over the crowd.

“These two stories tie in together.” He continued. “I can already see some of you putting the puzzle pieces together.” He watched as people in the room were glancing between himself and Hermione. “Hermione is my daughter. And thanks to Fenrir,” he glanced over at the girl in question “she is wolf.”

By this point Hermione was hiding behind Bill, her head against his back and her hands gripping his shirt. Even with the scent of Pack, Hermione was shaking and tears were falling down her face. They will look at me as Ron did. I will be an outcast, a monster. “I can’t” she whispered low and began backing up the stairs.

Remus ran forward and embraced her, stopping her movement and lending strength as her father. “Hermione look over my shoulder, they do not fear you. You are not a monster.”

She did as he asked. Her friends looked at her with pity and worry. There were a few with fear in their eyes, but everyone else seemed okay with the explanation they were given.

She heard Bill addressing everyone “Do not rush her, do not crowd her. She has been through a very traumatic experience. Not to mention her heightened senses” Molly Weasley now looked understanding.

Remus felt Hermione’s body relaxing and he slowly released her. He kissed her forehead quickly and grabbed her hand. He tugged lightly and she followed him down the stairs.

Hermione sat on the side as the battle plans were drawn up. She became familiar with the scents around her, understanding that it may keep them safe from her on the battlefield.

Battlefield. Her dream. She ran upstairs and grabbed her dream journal and quickly wrote down what she remembered. She handed it to Remus wordlessly. Once he had read it, she leaned in and whispered lowly. “I think they should know what we look like in wolf form. I also have an idea for a perimeter shield we can use to keep the other wolves off the field.” He looked at her and nodded.

The rest of the meeting was spent discussing the wolves’ role in the battle. Hermione shared a look with Ron and Harry and they headed outside to talk.

“You shouldn’t be doing this” Ron started.

“And what will I do otherwise? Sit in the shrieking shack chewing the leg off a couch?” Harry coughed trying to cover his laugh.

“You won’t have a wand. What if you attack one of us?”

“Wolfsbane, Ronald!”

“I won’t fight against you. I know you have thought this through.” Harry said finally. “Ron, we three have come so far. We need each other now more than ever.”

“Hermione” Harry tried to get her attention. “Have you heard about the latest recruits to the order? We have some new spies in our ranks.”

“Really? Anyone I know.”

“Oh, you’re going to love this. Our favorite Ferret is now working for a Phoenix.”

“No way!” Malfoy? Suddenly the image of Golden Fur and Gunmetal eyes came to Hermione’s mind. She swayed on the spot and grabbed Harry for support.

“Remus!” he shouted as Hermione’s world turned to black.
