“Good morning Grandmother” Hermione greeted the woman who was sitting in the cold early morning light “How are you?”

“I am well, Hermione” She said “I trust you slept well”

“As usual” Hermione answered sitting next to the woman. It was Christmas Eve, a couple of days after the attack in Diagon Alley. James had no lasting damage other than some trembles and it would appear that for the most part James and Remus had gotten over their fight in the light of everything else that happened.

“You know” Hermione smiled at the older woman “You are different than I thought you were. James had me believing that you were some mean and terrifying woman but you aren’t”

“And you my dear” Larissa leaned closer and bumped her shoulder “Are not my granddaughter”

“What?” Hermiones face was carefully blank “You are silly”

“Hermione” Larissa looked at her evenly “I know my granddaughter. I may have only visited her a few times but every visit was memorable. If for no other reason than her attitude, the Hermione that I knew was a very selfish, cruel and mean-hearted girl who never thought about anyone else other than herself” She fixed Hermione with a penetrating stare “Then I meant you. You’re nice, kind, strong and brave you are everything that she wasn’t so I’ve been treating you differently than I treated her”

“I can’t tell you who I am” Hermione said in a rush “Just trust me when I say that I don’t mean anyone any harm…I’m trying to protect many people”

“Oh darling” She laughed “I don’t think you’re a harm, nope I think that you are a scared and brave young woman that needs to love and be loved in return”

“Love” Hermione repeated the word “I was in love once”

“Once, are you not in love with Mr. Lupin?” She smiled knowingly.

“I don’t know” Hermione said honestly “I know that I could be, easily. He is an amazing man, smart and funny and any woman would be lucky to have him”

“And are you willing to let any woman have him?” Larissa asked.

~~~Voldemort~~~

The locket skidded across the stone floor as Bellatrix fell to the ground. Voldemort stood over her with a look of pure fury on his angered face as he glared down at her trembling form, she looked all around the room as she sat up, she wasn’t sure where she was or what had happened, the last thing she remembered was fighting with her husband…seeing the dark lord standing in the doorway…a feel of loathing mixed in with her fear and then…something was put around her neck and that was it.

“What am I doing here?” She asked “What’s happened?”

“PUT THE LOCKET BACK ON HER!” Voldemort roared.

“NO!” Bellatrix stood and tried to run but her legs wouldn’t work right and she fell back to the ground…she needed help, she needed…Dumbledore.

“You have disappointed me” He whispered leaning close to her face “You will wear this necklace until I find someone more worthy!” With that statement the necklace was pulled back over her head and he watched as her eyes darkened with a rage that was not her own. He told her to leave and she walked away quickly closing the door leaving Abraxas Malfoy and Voldemort alone.

“Milord” Abraxas said “What do you mean ‘someone more worthy?’ sir”

“I had wished to make Bellatrix my Queen” He said “She would be a follower of course but she was able to lead others, strong and driven, sexy and wanted by all that saw her. There was just one thing”

“And what was that, milord” Malfoy, Sr. asked.

“She had no interest in following me” He answered “And on top of that she has no rage. The locket is…charmed to let her feel a rage that is like my own”

“And…” He led

“I have found someone to take her place” Voldemort smirked “She is beautiful and powerful and I will meet her soon…hopefully”

~~~Severus & Sirius~~~

Sirius found Severus sitting in the library, he was as usual studying because he couldn’t allow himself to be caught up with…that would be positively horrible. Sirius smiled as he sat across from him and grinned when Severus glared over the top of the book at the intruder before pulling it up higher and trying to concentrate on the words.

“So” Sirius said nervously. When Snape made no move to say anything or show that he had even heard anything, he pressed his lips together and tried to think of another way to approach the subject, but there was no other way “So…James and Hermione are having a party tonight while their parents are at their own party”

“That’s nice” Severus whispered from behind his book.

“I’m going…” Sirius added.

“Have fun” Severus told him.

“It’s going to be a real small party” Sirius went on uneasily “Really not even a party…James is going to be there, Lily sent a letter saying that she would be there, Frank Longbottom and Alice, Remus and of course Hermione”

“And you” Severus added in.

“Well…” Sirius looked nervous “I’m allowed to bring a date”

“A date?” He repeated, finally his black eyes peered over the top of the book he had been holding.

“Yeah” The other boy mumbled looking at his hands “I was thinking…you know…maybe” He sighed and ran his hands through his hair “If you wanted to go…with me”

“Your…date?” Severus asked, turning his eyes towards the windows where he could see the snow was falling, heavily blanketing the world outside.

“Yes” Sirius whispered “If you don’t want to…I’ll understand”

“I…I guess I’ll go, if you really want me to” Severus whispered.

“I would love it if you went” Sirius smiled “It starts at six, be ready at five-thirty”

“Should I bring my presents?” He asked.

“Presents?” Sirius blushed again “Yeah”

“What’d you get James?” Sirius asked shocked he would have any presents for anyone

“Nothing” Severus snapped “I gave some thoughts to getting him a bottle of woman’s perfume but decided not to”

“Why not?” Sirius chuckled “I got him pink lipstick”

“He won’t beat you up” Severus mumbled finally putting his book down and looking at his watch, one-twenty-five.

“And he won’t beat you up either!” Sirius looked angry for a minute before he smiled a breathtaking smile “Meet you at five-thirty” He stood and started to leave but turned back, leaned over and gently pressed his lips against Severus’s before quickly walking away.

~~~Hermione~~~

“Mother!” Hermione growled “I will be fine. Lily and Alice are going to be there with me and Grandmother is staying here as well, please stop worrying”

“But honey” Cassandra looked at her “You’ll be here, alone with Remus”

“Mum” Hermione rolled her eyes “James will be here, as will Lily, Alice, Frank, Sirius, Severus and Grandmother, all of whom will be making sure that we are never alone together”

“Can I trust you?” She asked her daughter then shook her head laughing slightly to herself “What am I saying of course I can trust you, my little girl. It’s just…you’ll be seventeen next year, then you’ll graduate and get married…have children” She sobbed a little “Okay, okay. Be good, no sex before marriage and not too much drinking”

“I probably won’t drink at all” Hermione assured her “No sex and we will keep it down and everyone will have their own rooms, if they all stay”

“Okay” Cassandra smiled and moved back “How do I look?” She was wearing a sweeping purple ball gown, with long white gloves that went past her elbows and her hair was swept back in an elegant knot that made her look like an old-fashioned Lady, without taking any of her beauty or making her look old.

“You are beautiful” She hugged her “As usual”

James and Hermione saw their parents off and was told that their grandmother was going to be napping for a while so they were left to order the house-elves to clean the whole house and decorate it to look Christmassy and to make sure to put up plenty of mistletoe but to hide it so no one knows it’s there until they are caught underneath. Remus spent a good amount of his time in his room going through pictures of his family and wishing that he could see them one last time. He was surprised when someone knocked on the door and rushed to open it, he found Larissa on the other side with a kind and understanding smile on her face.

“May I come in, Mr. Lupin?” She asked politely.

“Of course” He moved aside “And please call me Remus”

“Call me grandmother” She said sitting in the window seat and smiling at him again “If I have my way you will be part of my family”

“But I’m a…you know” He said sadly.

“I know” She mock-whispered “You’re a…a…half-blood” She shuddered and pretended to gag.

“That’s not what I meant” He frowned a little.

“Remus what do you know about me?” She asked.

“Nothing” He answered “Honestly, I didn’t even know James and Hermione had a grandmother”

“Yes” She smiled “I am quite fearsome”

“You seem nice to me” He offered “Sweet even”

“Of that is it” She pretended to blush “I am going to marry you, my granddaughter can find her own man” He blushed scarlet.

“You are far too regal for me” He said.

“And far too old, I’m sure” She giggled “How I would love to say that I have a strong, young seventeen year old husband, no need to worry though, love” She cupped his cheek in her hand “I want my granddaughter to marry you and the Lycanthropy does not matter to me”

“When my parents died they left me nothing because they had nothing” Remus said “And I am dangerous”

“We will lock you up on the full moon” She sniffed as if this was something that was a common problem in young couples.

“I will never be able to take care of her financially” He told her “I’m too poor”

“That’s okay” Larissa smiled “I’m rich!”

“How would that help us?” He asked.

“Because I am more than willing to give you guy’s the start-up money and to help you two with anything else you need” Larissa grinned.

“But what about the Lycanthropy?” Remus whispered.

“It doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to be in love” Larissa told him “Okay, if you have a few minutes I think you need to hear my story”

“Go ahead” He prompted and sat across from her.

“Have you heard of the werewolf Frenrir Greyback?” She asked.

“Yes” Remus nodded, not knowing that was the wolf that had bitten him.

“Well he wasn’t always as horrible as he is now” She informed “He was nice once, shy and handsome. He thought he could do or be anything and his lycanthropy would never stop him…he was a lot like you actually. And once upon a time…he was my beau”

“What happened?” He asked after his shock wore off.

“I meant him when I was sixteen” She told him “He was older than I was and he worked for my parents. We started to flirt, he used to bring me flowers, talk to me all the time about everything and anything. He asked me to marry him when I turned seventeen and I said yes. We told my parents our plans and surprising me beyond all words, my parents were angry with us, they fired him and insisted that I never see him again” She looked down at her hands “I allowed my parents to pick my husband, a man that I never loved, I let them tell me what to do, how to act, what to say…I even allowed them to name my daughter. I felt like I was under the Imperious curse, they said jump and I wouldn’t even ask how high I just did whatever I was told”

“I’m sorry” Remus whispered.

“I don’t want to give myself too much credit” Larissa said “But it was shortly after that that Frenrir started to attack innocent people and turned to the dark lord. I loved him so much but I allowed others to plan my life for me and I lived it for them not for me. I tried to raise Cassandra to think for herself but she was greatly influenced by my own parents and though I know she adores you, she is worried about her only daughter’s well-being” She leaned back against the glass and smiled “I know that Hermione is…not the person she used to be and I am taking this opportunity to show her the me I was meant to be” Once again she cupped his cheek and he could see unshed tears in her blue eyes “I refuse to let Hermione make the same mistakes that I did. She is on some…path that is calling for all of her attention but she can’t allow herself to miss out on the things that are most important. I cry at least once a day for what I’ve lost and she shouldn’t have to, don’t make her have to follow the same path as all those other pureblooded bimbo’s”

“What can I do?” Remus asked.

“You can love her” Larissa said “And allow her to love you”

~~~Party Time~~~

An hour in to the party proved to be amazing, it really wasn’t that different from what their normal hang outs were like except that Frank, Alice and Severus were there with them. Hermione had already been caught under the magical mistletoe with Frank, Sirius and Lily which caused everyone to laugh at their awkward little peck.

“Time for presents!” Lily announced as the time neared eleven and everyone was starting to get tired “I have to leave tonight you know that and my parents are waiting up”

“Okay” Hermione got her presents from her room and ran back down.

“Here Hermione” Lily handed her a present in a box that was wrapped in a white filmy type of tissue paper.

“Thank you” Hermione said sitting down next to Remus who shifted a little and nervously took her hand. Hermione opened her present and sighed at the beautiful black cloak and upon moving it around she found the other side was sky blue “This is amazing, Lily…its beautiful thank you so much”

“It’s reversible” Lily told her “And thank you so much for this” she held up the homemade bath potions set that Hermione made her.

“Lily” Hermione leaned forward whispering “The tiny potion bottle in there has directions on how to use it. It’s a fantasy potion, makes your bath that much more interesting”

By the time they parted ways it was a little after midnight, Lily was on her way back to the cabin where her family was staying, Frank and Alice were heading back to their families and Sirius and Severus were staying with them. Hermione had gotten the cloak from Lily, earrings that complimented her all the time from Sirius, Frank and Alice had gotten her an enchanted mirror that could go with her everywhere…then enchantment was that no matter what, she could always see whomever she chose (as long as there were no protecting wards around them and there was a mirror near them) Severus had given her a handwritten book that was filled with potions, charms, hexes and magical revelations made including Hogwarts and creatures and upon further reading Hermione realized that this was a book of his own making. The last present she got was from Remus and it was possibly her favorite, it was a tiny white kitten that looked at her and automatically started purring and loving against her.

Remus walked Hermione to her bedroom door, his own room was a few doors down but he wanted to do something before he lost his nerve. He brought her to her bedroom and thanked her for the wonderful new cauldron she gave him (he melted his last one) and then looked at her feeling his nerves creeping up on him. She smiled at him and her eyes squinted a little in confusion as he just stood there and looked at her as if wanting to ask her something but not being able to find the words to express whatever feeling is there. Then slowly he leaned forward and when she didn’t push him away he gently pressed his lips against hers, Hermione was shocked but allowed his tongue entrance when he swept it across her bottom lip. She kissed him deeply, forgetting momentarily that she was in the middle of the hall, she wrapped her arms around his neck and felt his hands grip her waist pulling her closer.

“OI!” The sound made them jump apart to find James frowning angrily, Sirius grinning and Severus looking at the ground with a shy smile on his lips “Do you have to snog my sister in public?”

“S-Sorry” Remus blushed “Good night, Hermione”

“Good night, Remus” She whispered, still feeling his kiss on her lips and it was making her a bit lightheaded. James walked in to his room and closed the door angrily and Sirius grinned at her as he walked Severus to a bedroom that he was using. Before she closed her door she saw the two boys share a rather passionate kiss outside the bedroom door. Hermione went in to her bathroom and changed in to her night clothes before walking out heading to her bed where she found an owl waiting for her, she untied the letter but the owl remained the person apparently wanted an answer right away.

Dear Miss. Potter,

I hope your holiday is going well. First, I would like to extend my

apologies for the actions of my friends at Diagon Alley. But I would

also like to congratulate you on your well used charm work, I’ve

never seen anything like that before. You must truly be a powerful

young witch to not only fight the way you did but to shoot spells in

such a rapid succession as you did that day. I would like you to have

dinner with me at The Shady Moon on the twenty-seventh, please send your answer right away. I promise that you will be safe.

Lord Voldemort.

Hermione bit her lip and then left to talk to the boys in hopes that they will have some thoughts on what she should do.

A/N: I hope you like this chapter. I am not sure if Frenrir Greyback was a wizard or muggle, I also am not sure how old he was supposed to be so I made him pretty old. Tell me what you think please…PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
