Hermione felt hot and feverish. Her body was stiff and painful. She tried to move only to find that she was pinned down by a tangle of arms and legs. There was a man on either side of her. What had happened? She began to panic, and breath heavy. She was hyperventilating and getting light headed. She tried to move again, but the weight was too much.

Suddenly, the body on her left moved and she squeaked. “Hermione?” she heard a voice resonate through her. It was Lupin, but somehow he felt more to her than before. Like something inside her clicked on. She furrowed her brows in confusion. She felt the other body move off of her and she rolled into Lupin, pressing her head into his neck and breathing deeply. He smelled of the forest after a thunderstom “Shhh, I’ve got you.” She felt someone come up behind her and smelled sandalwood and smoke. She knew who this was but not why he was here. Everything in her told her she was safe, but she was a logical being above anything else.

She stumbled off the bed on her sore limbs and huddled in the corner, peeking at the two men through her hair. She didn’t understand her reactions. Her logical side told her to get away, but another side of her told her to stay. She figured huddling in a ball would keep that latter side at bay for a little while longer.

She looked at the men and got the feeling of ‘Family’ resonating from them. Remus Lupin she could understand. He was kind to her and a great friend, but Severus Snape? Wasn’t he a Death Eater? Why was he here? Isn’t he out of the order?

“I…” she rasped out, then swallowed and tried again. “I don’t… understand.”

“Hermione?” She looked up at the sound of her old potions professor saying her first name. “What is the last thing you remember?” he asked softly, then looked pointedly at Remus who stood and walked over to her, sitting beside her. Unconsciously she found herself wrapped in his lap, like a child.

“I was with Harry and Ron?” she looked up confused. Both men nodded in support. She closed her eyes and tried to remember. “We were making plans… then Harry said his name and we were running. They were arguing as always and I told them to shut up and go to point seven. I heard them leaving, but someone grabbed me and rolled me to the ground before I could leave. I didn’t want to bring whoever it was to them, so I stayed.” Her eyes flashed open quickly and the images began forming in her mind. “He wouldn’t let me go. The boys came back and got them all, but he woke up. He… he…” She felt the bandage on her shoulder and neck. Lupin held her tighter, putting her face in the crook of his neck, calming her.

“You don’t have to continue”

“I do… otherwise it will haunt me.” She took a deep breath and continued. “He apparated me to some manor. When we landed, he stumbled and I tried to run. I fell over not realizing how much blood I lost. He…” she cleared her throat again. “He broke my legs saying that I couldn’t run without them. He picked me up by my arm and it snapped as well.” She took in another breath. “From there on it’s hazy. I remember hearing people talking.” She looked over at Severus “I remember seeing you Professor, but not what happened. I know you tried to talk to me but I don’t remember what you said. I remember ‘don’t move’, but that’s it.” He nodded.

“Severus” Remus said. “Could you go get poppy? And a calming draught?” he nodded. When the door closed, Remus kissed Hermione on the top of her head and turned her to face him. “There’s something I need to tell you, Hermione.”

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

“You’re … what? Wait…. How?” Hermione babbled out.

“18 years ago, I met a beautiful woman and fell in love. Typical love story beginning. She was a muggle. At the height of You-Know-Who’s rein, I told her to stay in the muggle world to stay safe away from the mess that was the Death Eaters. When James and Lily died, and he disappeared I went back to her place and tried to talk to her. She wasn’t alone.

“She held a beautiful little girl in a bundle of pink. The most unruly amount of brown hair, but so beautiful. But she told me to leave. That she had fallen for someone else, another muggle. She said the child was not mine. Who was I to argue? I left her alone for months and expected just to jump into her life again? A brief look around the home and I knew she had her family. The woman was your mother Hermione. Your father knows he is not your biological father.

“I left that day never to turn back… until you got your letter. She had no way of contacting me, so the little incidences throughout your younger years went on without support. When you got your letter, she had a contact point. Dumbledore called me and I of course came.

“I hadn’t seen your mother in so many years. She told me all about you. Your magic manifesting, getting into Hogwarts. Then she told me that you were mine, but in the same breath said you could never know. It broke my heart.”

“But why…” she started

“Why am I telling you?” She nodded. “Hermione, I was changed over before I was even a teenager. I was near 20 when you were conceived. You carry the gene, but more than that now because of Greyback’s attack. You will be full wolf. At your 18^th birthday I was going to tell you, but it happens that’s when they took you.” She nodded. “Hermione, this may sound weird, but humor an old man, okay?” she giggled and nodded again. “How did you feel when you woke?”

“Hot. Impossibly feverish. When I couldn’t get up I panicked and started struggling. I couldn’t breathe. When I heard your voice I relaxed. Your scent is like home to me. Looking at you and Severus on the bed earlier, I felt ‘family’. But you know I’m a logical person and I couldn’t go by instinct alone. Other than that… there’s something… I don’t know. It feels like something’s been clicked into place.”

Remus hugged her tighter. “I do know”

The two were startled by a light rapping at the door. “Ah I see my patient is up and moving, how are you feeling dear?” a bustling Poppy Pomfrey entered the room. They got her back to the bed and she was looked over. Her bandage on her shoulder was removed and the injury cleaned. Although there was no bleeding, the nurse recovered the damaged skin to give the girl some time to get used to it all.

When the nurse was gone, Remus took notice of his daughter. She had a light sheen of sweat covering her brow. He looked out the window and noticed how low the sun was getting. “Severus” he called out.

The potions master came slowly into the room, not wanting to set Hermione off again.

“Hello Professor. I’m very sorry for my reaction earlier. I hope under the circumstances you can forgive me.” He nodded and she stood up and embraced him. “Thank you for saving my life.” After a moment, he hugged her back.

When she was released, she nearly fell over. She looked at Lupin in fear. He came to her and pulled her into his lap like a child again. Severus, we need that portkey now. Make it for 3 travelers.” He nodded and left. “Alright Hermione. Remember how you had the gene? Well the added bit from Greyback has thrown you into overdrive. It’s the full moon and it looks like there’s no grace period in your case.” Lupin held his daughter tighter as she began sniffling. “We will be using a portkey to get to our location. Severus will come with us in his animagus form, ok?” He felt her nod against his chest. “I’ve got you” he murmured again.
