"Wait one moment Hermione." Said Remus as Hermione started to explain. "MayI suggest that we move somewhere a little more private. Further away from the others, unless you have told Harry and Ron."

Hermione hung her head and shook it.

"I see." He replied as he looked down on her.

"Come with me." He said as he escorted her over to a corner of the pub. Hermione re-iterated the night she was bit. Remus sat astonished. "Hermione there has been at least one full moon since your bite. You went through this alone?" He queried, asking a question to which he knew the answer.

Hermione nodded. "Hermione I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have gone through this alone and especially not your first transformation." He said as he looked at her. "May I ask why you chose not to come to me about this?"

Hermione looked up Remus. "I don't know." She said as she shook her head. "I was so angry about being bit. I didn't want to be real."

"I understand." He said as he smiled as he put his hand on her shoulder. Hermione flinched, moving away from Remus. "Hermione. Relax. I'm not going to hurt you. "That is where you were bitten?" He queried.

Hermione nodded.

"May I see it? He asked.

Hermione looked at Lupin, unsure.

"I just want to make sure it is healing okay. That's all" He said reassuringly even though he wanted to see if he could sense who had bitten her.

Hermione nodded and removed her jacket revealing her bite to Remus. She gasped as his finger softly traced the indentation on her skin. "Relax Hermione." He whispered as he traced the bite with his fingers. Remus inhaled slowly, careful as not to alarm Hermione, as he tried to pick up the scent of who had bitten her, but the only scent he could smell was her, only her. As he inhaled once more her scent had begun to envelope his sense. He closed his eyes as he could feel the wolf in him become more pronounced.

"You want her" He heard in his head as Mooney started to become more pronounced. "We want her. Her scent.. It's over whelming. Intoxicating...Completing enveloping." He said slowly.

Remus was starting to lose out to Mooney and knew he had to take back control. He took a step back away from Hermione as his fingers slipped away from her bite, his breathing still shallow

"Professor? Are you alright?" Asked Hermione with concern.

"Yes, yes. I'm alright." He said as he smiled and took a deep breath. Remus knew in his mind, that it was a close call. "It's been a long trip. I'll get some rest and see you in the morning Hermione." He said as he walked back to the group and wished them good night.

Hermione knew by his reaction something had begun to happen between them. Had the wolf started to take him over is that why he pulled away? She thought to herself. She stood watching Remus walk away confused about what had just happened.

After a couple of minutes of thinking about what had transpired Hermione headed back over to see Harry and Ron waiting for her. "Is everything okay Hermione?" Asked Harry

"Yeah, what did Professor Lupin want?"

"Nothing, I'm just taking on some extra work this year. We were just discussing the specifics that's all. Didn't want to bore you two with the details."

"Thank god. Hermione, I can't believe you asked for more work. I mean, if you wanted more work you should have just me. I'd have given you my homework." Said Ron.
