Once again Hermione woke feeling hot… and sandwiched between two men. She recognized their scents immediately. Her human side was yelling at her because of how she must look lying between two men, but her wolf was happy and snuggled comfortably. She breathed deeply the scent of home. Even the Professor smelled like home. She always enjoyed being in the potions lab- even if she didn’t enjoy the sneering remarks of the Professor, she learned more in his class than any other.
She rolled over and snuggled in his neck, enjoying the smell of the potions lab. Sighing, she fell back to sleep.
Severus woke the same time as Hermione. He kept his breathing light, not wanting to scare the girl again. She was after all the daughter of his lover. Why hadn’t Remus told him? He wasn’t angry… well, he was, but he was more hurt than angry.
The two had been together for five years, since the year Sirius Black escaped Azkaban. After getting Lupin fired, he went to the man to apologize. They spoke through the night about various things, including their school days. Lupin knew he couldn’t apologize for the way his friend’s treated Severus, but he did apologize for not trying to stop them.
They continued to meet up, each needing company that didn’t consist of Order meetings or, in Severus’ case, Death Eaters. Company turned into companionship shortly and they began their secret relationship. When Severus killed Dumbledore and had to run, Lupin was heartbroken and felt betrayed. After being released by the Dark Lord, Severus went straight to his lover and told him everything. He needed forgiveness. He killed a man who was more like a father than anyone else in his life.
Lupin forgave him and spent the night comforting. The next day, Severus was summoned and left the man he loved behind. He would come back every few months- as soon as he could get away from the crazy snake. He hated putting his lover through everything. He told him he shouldn’t have to wait on a murderer; shouldn’t have to wait three months to meet with his lover.
But Lupin wasn’t having any of it. He simply told him “I will wait until the end of days if I have to, just to be with you.”
That was 8 months ago and the last time they saw each other before he brought Hermione back. A Death Eater had followed him, almost revealing his secret. Luckily, Moony, Lupin’s wolf, scented the man out and they were able to obliviate him. They both bid farewell, understanding it might be a long time before they saw each other again.
Hermione suddenly rolled over and put her face in the crook of her Professors neck. He continued to feign sleep, not wanting to wake or startle her. She was soon sleeping again. He watched her continue to snuggle with him as her hand reached behind her and found Lupin’s hand. Even in her sleep she felt the pull.
Lupin smiled sleepily at his lover, happy for the first time in a long time.
Suddenly Severus jumped and hissed, grabbing his left forearm. His quick movement woke Hermione and she jumped up, whimpering before being pulling down by Remus. “Go Severus, return when you can.” As soon as he was gone, Lupin climbed out of bed, moving to take a shower. He covered Hermione with the blanket and placed his pillow beside her, smiling when she pulled it to her. When he was sure she was relaxed, he left the room to find Poppy.
He found her sitting at the table, head in her hands. “Poppy, please tell me you’ve had some sleep.”
She looked up. “Yes, I have. One thing the Burrow isn’t lacking is beds.” He chuckled.
“I need to take a shower, could you keep an eye on my girl?”
She stood up from the table and began grabbing potions and salves. “Of course.”
They headed back up the stairs, Lupin going to the shower while Poppy sat in a chair in the room with Hermione. She watched as the girl dreamed, emotions flowing across her face. Her brows furrowed and she seemed to be sniffing the room. She relaxed back into the bed, apparently okay with the new arrival.
Poppy admired the girl from her chair. She was concerned but knew that if anyone could handle this it would be Hermione Granger.
The girl in question began moving and waking slowly, letting out small moans and hisses as she stretched and began moving. Without looking, she said “Morning Madam Pomfrey.” Then smiled at that shocked expression on the nurse’s face. She tried to stand up, only to stumble and land back on the bed.
“Don’t try getting up so fast girl!” Poppy admonished, rushing to her side, then smiled at the girl. “Call me Poppy please.”
Hermione nodded. “That will take some getting used to, but if you wish.” She looked around the room, a frown forming on her face. “It wasn’t a dream, was it?”
“No dear, it wasn’t. Severus was summoned and Remus is taking a shower now.”
“I’m next then. I am dying for a shower.” She watched the older woman flinch. “Sorry, bad choice of words. I really would like a shower though, and I’m starved. Is anyone else here?”
The nurse shook her head. “I had to pretty much physically remove everyone from the burrow once they saw you.” Hermione nodded.
They heard a knock on the door and Remus walked in looking refreshed, but still tired. Hermione smiled up at him, a sad smile. Madam Pomfrey held her hand out to Hermione and helped the girl stand. “Come on, your turn.”
Hermione let the older woman help her to the bathroom where a bath was drawn. She got undressed slowly, and climbed into the hot water, hissing with pleasure as it lapped around her sore muscles.
“I’ll be back in twenty minutes” the nurse said. “There is a special healing and relaxing oil in this tub.”
“Thank you Madame… Poppy” Hermione said. She enjoyed the hot water very much and was almost sleeping again when the nurse walked back in.
“Alright. Duck your head under the water.” She did so. Suddenly she felt soap being poured into her hair and her scalp being scrubbed.
“Poppy, you don’t...”
“Hush girl.” She said, then pulled away. “Go ahead try and wash it yourself.” Hermione tried, but could barely lift her arms.
“Alright you win.” She said sulking.
Poppy chuckled. “Not used to being helped are we? That’s okay. I’ll put the soap in your hair, then I want you to get in the shower and rinse it out along with the oils on your body.” Hermione nodded, following her instructions when she was told to get out of the tub.
Now thoroughly cleaned, Hermione stepped out of the shower and put on the clean clothes that were put out for her. Poppy pulled her back into the bedroom and brushed the younger woman’s hair, using her wand to cut it some. They both heard the sizzling of food cooking in the kitchen and laughed as both of their stomachs grumbled.
They then followed their noses.
On the table was a feast of eggs, meats, pancakes, and coffee and tea. Hermione plopped into her seat and looked up at Remus who was putting a last plate on the table. She smiled widely at him. “Thanks Remus.” She said softly. He nodded at her and they all piled their plates high with food.
After breakfast Hermione headed for the loo. She froze in place when she saw her reflection for the first time. She was thin- too thin. Her cheeks shallow, bags under her eyes. Her skin was slightly pink, her body trying to get used to the new higher temperature. Her eyes glanced over her body, carefully avoiding the place where she knew Fenrir had bitten her. She could see a few scars, but nothing obvious to a casual observer.
Finally she knew she couldn’t put it off any longer. She moved her eyes to her neck, pulling the neck of the shirt away, and let out a soft sob. From her neck to her shoulder was a pile of thick scars. She traced her fingers over them lightly, remembering the viciousness of the attack. She closed her eyes.
I should be dead. I almost was. She opened her eyes and looked at her reflection again. I’m alive. She nodded at herself. And Fenrir was punished… she smiled at that memory.
She heard a knock on her door and walked out to a sad looking Remus. She hugged him tightly before pulling away and looking into his eyes. “I’m okay… “ he looked at her. “Well… I will be okay.” He smiled and hugged her tightly again. “What does everyone else know?”
“He hugged her tighter for a second before releasing her and leading her to the room they had been sleeping in. “They know about the attack, Harry and Ron returned to Grimmauld Place after you were abducted. After your healing, Poppy went to tell them all what had happened. I’m not sure if they know if you’re wolf yet though.” He said softly as she nodded. “Poppy let slip that I was with you, so they knew immediately where you would be. The first one through was Ron who attacked Severus.” She snickered at this. “Yeah it didn’t go over too well. Everyone was sent packing after that. They will not come until you say it’s okay.” She nodded.
“I think I should just get it over with… but I’m not completely ready yet. Maybe next week?” Hermione told him.
“I think that would work, as long as you’re up for it.” He looked thoughtful for a minute. “Your senses are now heightened, as I’m sure you know. You’ve gotten used to me, Severus, and Poppy and the house is quiet with the few of us that are here. You know we won’t be able to stop the gaggle of people who will be flying to see you here.”
Hermione blushed. “I’m not that important, Remus. Harry and Ron need me because they hate reading. Other than that I play no importance.”
“Hermione…” he started, but she put her hand up to stop him.
“If it’s not true, than I know no different.” She looked into his eyes and he nodded. “Do you mind if I lay down?”
“Sure, I’ll be downstairs if you need me.”
Hermione climbed into the large bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
