The week following everyone coming back from break, Hermione trudged herself to Evangeline's office in the same manner she did weeks prior. 

Evangeline muttered a come in, and Hermione walked into her hanging up new posters on the walls. 

"Miss Granger, what brings you here?"

She sat herself down in the chair in front of her desk with a huff, "I'm frustrated."

"What about?"

"This Viktor Krum guy... he's nice and all but just not..." she trailed off, trying to gather her words.

"Not exactly what you want?" 

Hermione nodded, "he doesn't say much. He just watches me..."

"I reckon if you're not happy now you should say something. You're young, Miss Granger, men, well, boys, will come and go."

Hermione slouched down in the chair, "I want to break things off, but I just don't know how to go about it. As I said, he really is nice, just not what I want."

"Be upfront with him. He may be a little upset, but it's better than leading someone on. That's a cruel thing to do. I can always go with you and stay near if things go south, if that makes you more comfortable."

"Thank you professor, but I don't think it'll be that bad. I'm just a little nervous, that's all."

"That is completely understandable, Miss Granger. Did you at least enjoy the Yule Ball with him?"

Hermione let out a humorless laugh, "the Yule Ball was... not that great. Ronald was... mean."

"I'm sorry about that," Evangeline said, "have you two made up since?"

"Once he apologizes, I will be more than happy to be around him again," she said, crossing her arms, "seems as if we both had a lousy Yule Ball, seeing what Igor Karkaroff did."

"He was just being petty, nothing major," Evangeline lied, "my time at the Yule Ball wasn't all bad. Were your holidays at least nice?" she asked while reorganizing a shelf. 

Hermione nodded, "it was. I missed my parents dearly. I heard yours were good... with Professor Lupin and all."

Evangeline stilled, turning to Hermione, "excuse me?"

"Harry told me you two were together. Don't worry, we won't go running our mouths. But there has been whispers of you two being together amongst the students, thought you should know."

She smiled lightly, "people will always talk. We've got nothing to hide. I don't believe we're breaking any by-laws here."

"I'm happy for you, Professor. And Professor Lupin... Lord knows he deserves some happiness in his life."

"That I agree with," Evangeline said, turning back to organizing her shelf to hide her blush. 

Later that day after Evangline waved her last class of the day out, Remus came rushing in after the last student. He quickly shut and locked her classroom door, used a silencing spell and drew the curtains over the windows with a wave of his wand all within the blink of an eye, alerting Evangeline instantly. 

"Remus? Is something wrong? I didn't see you at lu–"

He took three long strides towards her and cut her off with a bruising kiss, knocking her against her desk. He pushed her up onto it, hands gripping her hips so hard she was sure that a bruise would be there later. 

He shoved her jacket off as her hands flew to his hair, struggling to keep up with the pace of his lips. 

"Remus–" she moaned out as his lips attached to her neck, "wh- what the hell has gotten into you?" she breathlessly asked. 

He let out a huff in response, and Evangeline caught the sight of her tattoo on her forearm out of the corner of her eye. Oh, there is a full moon coming up in two nights. 

She found herself letting out a chuckle as her hands moved to his shirt. 

"What the fuck is so funny?" Remus snapped out, moving his assault to the other side of her neck. 

"Nothing," Evangeline replied as she smoothed her hands over the newly exposed skin of his chest, "just thinking about how you took care of yourself like this before me."

"I handled it," he shortly replied, fingers moving to her blouse.

She hooked her fingers over his belt loops and pulled him closer, "how?" she teased with a knowing grin.

"Don't start, Evangeline."

"I didn't start anything, Lupin."

His eyes snapped up to hers, earning a smirk from Evangeline at the sight of his desperate and dark gaze. She brought her fingers up to the buttons of her blouse that he failed to finish unbutton, slowly undoing each button with the speed of a sloth. 

"Evangeline."

"Hm?" she asked, finally reaching the end after what felt like a lifetime for Remus. She took off her blouse and threw it to the side, "you gonna take off my bra or do I have to do that myself as well?"

His hands swiftly reached behind her body, unclasping her bra and throwing it to the side to join her blouse. She moved his shirt off of his body as well, running her hands up his torso slowly. 

"Stop teasing me."

"Sorry, love, can't help it when you're like this," she said, kissing his collarbone. 

"You're cruel," he rasped out as her fingers began to unbuckle his belt.

She smiled against his skin, kissing up his neck and to his lips. His hand traveled to the back of her neck, gripping lightly to keep her from tearing her lips away again. He eventually pushed her down over her desk, thankful that there were only a few papers littering it. 

He stared down at her, breathing heavy and hair a mess. His hands roamed her upper body, thumbs brushing over her nipples, making her jump lightly. 

"Sensitive?"

"You're not the only one who has issues before full moons, Remus," she breathed out. 

"Wouldn't call it an issue, would you?" he asked, undoing the button of her pants. 

"It's about to be an issue if you don't hurry the fuck up."

He chuckled, "what? Don't like being teased?"

Evangeline wanted to say something, but she decided to bite her tongue. She would save that for when they were in a more private location. 

He tapped her right hip lightly, and she lifted her hips so he could take her pants off. He smoothed his hands over her thighs, staring down at her thoughtfully.

"What's on your mind?" she quietly asked, waiting for him to do something. 

"Just thinking about how many ways I want to fuck you on this bloody desk."
