Remus returned to his room and lay down in his bed staring and the ceiling, his mind going over and over what happened tonight before he slowly drifted off to sleep. As Hermione was doing the same.

Since being bitten over the summer Hermione had been having nightmares about the night she was bitten they always seemed to come around when the wolf in her was more pronounced, usually around the full moon. Even though the full moon was atleast another week away the nightmare had begun to take over her mind and it was always the same.

Meanwhile Remus was fast asleep when Hermione's nightmare began to invade his mind.

Remus watched as the landscape unfolded he saw what looked like Muggle London and a young girl walking down street, books in hand. "Hermione?" He queried, not being able to see her face. He watched on as the full moon shone high in the sky and then it happened, he saw the wolf appear from out of the bushes. The wolf let out a low growl before charging Hermione. "No!" Yelled Remus but Hermione nor the wolf could hear him. He ran towards them as he watched as the wolf sunk his teeth into her. "Hermione!" He yelled as the nightmare began to dissipate.

Remus sat up sweating from head to toe. He ran his hand over his face when he heard un- intelligible words masked by sobbing. Remus had no doubt in his mind that the sobs were coming from Hermione. He got up out of bed and headed towards her room. As he slowly opened the door, he peered into the room. He saw her lying on the bed, thrashing, almost like she was trying to get out from under the wolf. As he moved closer he could see the tears running down her face. He could hear her mumbling. "No, No, as her hands started to move, almost as if she was trying to push the wolf out the way.

A concerned Remus walked over and sat down on the side of her bed. "Hermione." He said as he tried to help her as it was clear to him she was still re-living the nightmare. "No!" She yelled as she opened her eyes still breathing heavy. She looked around, not even noticing Remus at first.

"Professor? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"You had a nightmare yes? About your attack?"

Hermione stared at Remus. "Damn it. I must have forgotten to put the silencing charm on my room. He must have heard me." She thought to herself.

Hermione nodded slightly.

"Mmmm" Said Remus as he looked down at Hermione who was only wearing a night shirt which had ridden up slightly. Hermione quickly pulled the bed sheet up over her exposed legs as Remus averted his gaze.

Remus conjured a cup of tea for himself and Hermione. "Here it will make you feel better." He said as she smiled whilst passing her the tea.

"Thank you." She said, accepting the tea and taking a sip.

"How long have you been having the nightmares?" He asked.

"Since the attack." She whispered as she looked away from Remus

"And they get worse closer to the full moon don't they?" He queried.

Hermione turned back to face them. "Yes." She whispered as she nodded. "It feels like it's happening over and over again." She said careful not to cry.

Remus took her hand. "Everything becomes more heightened in the days closer to the full moon Hermione, our senses go into overdrive, you'll start to crave raw meat over food, you're emotional balance will become unstable."
