You Have... The Werewolf (Harry Potter Fanfic)

42

Remus wasn't surprised that Hermione had made a run for it the moment she saw that him heading over to her. He was slightly hoping that she would be at least happy for him for winning. Even though part of him knew he was going to win since werewolves tend to stick to their instincts and lived most of their lives similar to muggles in a way. Mostly because their Wizarding World didn't treat werewolves correctly and most magic schools refuse to teach werewolves magic. 

He gazed around, noticing no one was too pleased with him being the winner, in fact they all seemed a bit furious that Scabior or Fenrir weren't the ones who won this task. He knew none of the pack were going to cheer him on since he was an outsider. He was glad enough Sirius was happy for him. He buried his hands in his pockets and held his head down and headed right after Hermione. 

Hermione sat on the ground, staring at the cave's walls. She undid her clothes partly so she wasn't sweating bullets. She wasn't ready to actually do this with Remus. She knew she did it with two strangers, but it was different with Remus. She knew him. He was her old professor and above all else he was engaged and it only just recently broke up! At least, she assumed they broke up. 

Her thoughts were cut short when she heard footsteps coming from behind her. She peered over her shoulders to see Remus walking into the opening. They locked eyes for a moment before Hermione broke their contact and turned her focus back on the walls. She listened to Remus's footsteps heading towards her. 

"I see you're still upset with me," Remus spoke up. She shot him a glare. 

"I'm sorry, but how exactly am I supposed to feel when I find out you basically cheated on your fiancé and made me a mistress?" She asked him, crossing her arms over her chest. 

"I'm sorry to have you find out like you did. But I couldn't just let you get engaged to either Fenrir or Scabior, could I?" Remus asked. Hermione pushed herself onto her feet. 

"Why do I have to get hitch to either one of you three anyway? Why don't I have the right to stay single?" Hermione asked, her hands on her hips. Remus shook his head. 

"That's not how it usually happens in the pack. Especially with Fenrir's pack. When a male or female werewolf find another attractive, they usually go straight after them because the point is to make sure the numbers of the pack don't start to dwindle. It's their goal to make sure they are big enough in case of an attack from a rival pack." Remus stated to her. She shook her head. 

"That's stupid! You shouldn't force people to be together just to make babies." Hermione growled at him. 

"I agree with you. But they won't care. They are too determined to make sure people are paired with someone." Remus confirmed to her. She turned her back on him, her hand fanning herself as she started to feel the heat start to get to her. 

"Hermione if you are hot, you should take off some of your clothes. I can go outside if you want me to," He offered to her. She shook her head. 

"No, I think I will be outside." Hermione told him. Before he could argue with her, Hermione scurried outside.
