Jewels: thanks so much for the review! I'm so happy that my writing is keeping you interested. I try to avoid ending chapters as cliffhangers, but sometimes it's unavoidable. I hope you continue to enjoy the story!

witchweaver: thanks for the review! I don't think the slash is necessarily needed but i definitely think it will enhance an understanding in the relationship between Remus and Severus. Please continue reading!

Hermione heard the moans and groans coming from the bedroom upstairs and smiled to herself. About time they are happy. She curled up on the chair in the sitting area with Lupin’s book on lycanthropy and fell asleep. The two came and woke her the next morning. Hermione smiled at both of them and giggled at Remus’ blush.

This continued as they waited on pins and needles for when the order would be visiting.

A week later found Hermione curled up on the same chair reading a book on potions. It wasn’t long until she was sleeping again. Sleeping and dreaming.

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

She was running with the golden wolf. They ran side by side, playfully pushing each other. They stopped at the river to drink where they rubbed muzzles. She licked his and ran off again.

Suddenly they both stopped, ears pricking at sounds that were not natural to the forest. She could hear heavy footfalls as a group ran towards them. The smell of magic once again became apparent in the air.

She rubbed and licked the blond wolf’s muzzle again and took off, running zigzag through the forest. Once again she found herself at the ravine, a masked man charging after her. She turned quickly and tore down the side of the water. She heard a yell and a crash as the man fell into the water. If a wolf could grin, she was doing it now.

“Wonder why she’s smiling so much?” A voice said. She looked around trying to find its source

“Don’t know, lets leave her alone. She didn’t want us here this early” another voice that she couldn’t see. It sounded familiar in a way, but she still bristled at it.

“Yeah but its ‘Mione, I didn’t want to see her with that group of people.” ‘Mione? Oh!

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

“Yeah but its ‘Mione, I didn’t want to see her with that group of people.” Ron said, standing over their sleeping friend. “Plus they never gave us a time, did they? Just said ‘next week’. ”

“Yeah, okay Ron. Come on, let’s let her sleep some more. Make some breakfast.” Harry replied.

Hermione was pulling out of her dream when she heard the footsteps walk away. She glanced at the clock to see it was 7 in the morning. I’m going to hurt those boys, she thought to herself. Then she smiled. My boys wanted to see me before the crowd. I still don’t understand why there would be a crowd. She frowned at that thought.

She grunted as she stood up out of the chair, and moaned as she stretched her sore muscles. Quickly, two figures stood in the doorway and ran towards her. She recognized them, but still balked at the sudden movements.

The boys froze. “Sorry ‘Mione.” Harry said. “We’re just so glad to see you.” At this Hermione put her arms out and the boys jumped into them. Their words jumbled and muffled by their hugs.

“We’re so sorry… we missed you so much… are you okay?... we’re so glad you’re okay… we were so scared…”

“I’ll be okay guys.” She said as she pulled out of the hug. “Didn’t I hear someone say something about breakfast?” the guys laughed.

“Isn’t that my line?” said Ron.

The three laughing friends headed to the kitchen where Remus was once again at the stove. Hermione hugged him and kissed his cheek good morning. “How’s Severus?” she asked him.

“Sleeping still. He’ll just be sore today. He’ll be down in a little bit.” He answered, glancing at Harry and Ron at the last statement. He looked back at Hermione “Breakfast will be done soon.” She nodded and kissed his cheek again.

Hermione turned around and pulled the boys back into the sitting area.

“Remus will finish up breakfast and call us when it’s ready.” She told them, sitting on the chair by the fire and leaving the loveseat open for them. “I know you have questions, and I’ll answer what I can. I need you to respect me if I decide not to answer.” The boys nodded. “Then I’ll have some questions for you two.”

“How are you ‘Mione?” Harry asked her.

“I’ll be okay Harry. I’m not there yet, but I will be.” She answered with a small smile.

“What happened ‘Mione?” Ron ventured.

“You already know what happened.” She said, confused. “Fenrir grabbed me and apparated me to You-Know-Who. He was pissed apparently having other plans for me. Fenrir was punished, Snape was asked to check my diagnostics to which he replied I was dead. Then he brought me here where Remus called Poppy.”

“Why did Snape register you as dead? Wouldn’t Fenrir have heard your heartbeat? Wouldn’t his heart rate spell have given it away?”

“I registered as dead because I nearly was. My heart was beating so slow and faint that Fenrir couldn’t hear it. And it was also slow enough that Severus’ spell also didn’t pick it up.” She took a breath and looked at Harry. “You should know Dumbledore made Severus kill him. You know the hand that was black? It was a curse that was slowly and painfully killing him. Just trust me on this, I won’t answer more question as it’s not my place, but I thought you should know.”

The boys looked shocked. Ron was the first to open his mouth again. “Still don’t trust the git.” He said. “Back to you, ‘Mione. We knew you were hurt. But not that you were near death. What happened?”

“That’s one question that I won’t answer. Not now. I don’t want to revisit those memories again. Not yet at least. Give me time.” Harry nodded, but Ron looked like he would ask again. “I know that look, Ron. I told you I would answer what I could and to respect me if I wished to not answer some.” She waited for his nod.

“I’m sorry ‘Mione.” He said.

“Its alright.” She closed her eyes and took a breath. “There is something I do need to tell you though.” She opened her eyes and looked at Harry. “I won’t be able to go with you again. I don’t know how far we are, but I can’t go again.” They both stood up, ready to argue, but stopped when her hands went up in front of her. “I can’t. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t.”

“Why not? That won’t happen again, you know that.”

“It could happen again, but that’s not the reason why. Could you please sit down?” They looked at each other before they walked forward and sat on the floor in front of her.

They each took a hand in their own. “Tell us. You can tell us anything.”

“I don’t want you to tell anyone, okay?” They nodded. Her lips trembled and a tear fell from her eye. She didn’t realize it would be this hard. “I am wolf.” She rasped out. Ron pulled his hands away like he had been burned, but Harry held tight. He looked into her eyes and she looked at him to explain while Ron got up and paced. “I am wolf.” She whispered again. She pulled her collar aside and began talking again. “You saw Fenrir bite me.” Harry nodded. “That in itself sealed my fate. But there’s more to the story.” Hermione looked up as Remus entered the room. He nodded to her before sitting beside her and wrapping his arm around her shoulder. “I already had lyncanthropic blood in my system. Actually, my biological father felt when I was bit and burned as the virus awoke in me.”

Ron stopped pacing now and looked between Hermione and Remus with a bit of jealousy. “What the hell is this?” he ground out.

Remus- or should we say Moony- growled at the red head boy. “Do shut up Ronald.” Hermione bit out. She looked back at Harry. “Turns out Remus is my father. I had no idea until the night Severus brought me back here. Actually neither did Severus.” Remus had the grace to look at her sheepishly.

“The virus wouldn’t have changed her. But coupled with Fenrir’s bite there was no fighting the change.” Harry nodded. “She’s already had her first transformation” he said holding Hermione tighter.

“Shouldn’t she have had time to come to terms? She was bit one day before the moon. She changed then?” Harry looked at Remus, unable to focus on his firend, only imagining the pain she’s been through.

“Since it was already in her body, it took no time to take over.” Remus answered. “Usually wolves have a couple of weeks of pain to go through before they’re changed. If someone is bit a week or more before the moon, they will change. Usually less than a week and a person has nearly 5 weeks to get into a mindset.” He looked at Hermione. “She only had a day.”

Harry looked at Hermione, still holding her hand he squeezed it tighter. “I understand ‘Mione. None of this is your fault.” He looked up at Remus. “Yours either.” He looked back at Hermione and released her hand, opening his arms for her. She accepted the hug and held her friend tightly as she cried for the first time. She cried out her fears, her memories of the attack and subsequent injuries. She cried out the pain.

“Gods Harry. You don’t know. It’s…” She sobbed again. “So… much… pain.”

He pulled back and looked at his friend in the eyes. He wiped her tears with his thumbs. “You are the strongest witch I know, Hermione. I know we don’t know the details of what you went through, but we don’t need to. You were close to death and that’s enough to give me nightmares. But you survived. You’re here with us.” She choked back a sob and nodded, pulling Harry into another hug. Harry whispered into her ear. “You know Ron will come around. It’s harder for him since he’s been part of this world longer. He’s been aware of the negativities of the wolf more than we have. Everything will be fine.”

“Thank you Harry.” She pulled back and gave him a watery smile. She saw a box of tissues pushed in her line of sight. She grabbed some and looked up at Ron’s face. He gave her a small smile. “Thanks Ron” she said.

Remus stood up and led the three friends into the kitchen for breakfast. When they got there, they saw Severus sitting at the table with a cup of tea.
