Chapter One
The Hogwarts Express
Hermione Granger had changed drastically over the summer break. She began to care about her physical and outward appearance. The witch's hair was no longer bushy, but in slick smooth brown curls. She had a tone lean shape with a womanly figure and long legs.
Hermione's mother Lizzie was pleased with her daughter. She was glad that Hermione was taking care of her self. Lizzie was disappointed that it took her nearly seventeen years, but please none the less. She knew things were going to change for the better.

Hermione soon found her self at King's Cross Station. She waved good bye to her mother and made her way through the crowded station. The men whistled at the young woman. Hermione would only smile as she walked by.
The witch smiled and ran through the platforms nine and ten.
Hermione saw a group of red heads and one with messy black hair that stuck out from the group. She smiled to her self, because no one knew about her change except for her best friend Ginny.
She walked up to the group when Ginny squealed, "HERMIONE!" and the red head threw her arms around the witch's neck.
The family turned around and the boys mouths dropped at the sight of their female friend.
"Ginny I can't breath." Hermione gasped.
"Oh, right. Sorry," and she pulled back, "It's just you look better in person than you do in the pictures."
The witch looked at the boys and laughed, " Oh come on guys. You act like you've never seen a girl before."
Harry shook his head and smiled and wrapped his best friend into a bear hug. Then was soon followed by a recovered Weaseley family.
The whistle blew and the students boarded the train. The group said their final good byes to Mrs. Weaseley and got on the Hogwarts Express.
The trio found their normal compartment in the back. When they walked through the glass door they saw it was already occupied by a person sleeping peacefully on the left seat.
They smiled remembering the day they met Professor Lupin. Hermione sat down next to the sleeping person and the boys sat down across from them. Harry looked up and smiled. He tapped Ron on the shoulder.
"What is it?"
The wizard pointed up to the carrier. Professor R.J. Lupin.
"Mione that's Professor Lupin under the jacket." Harry told his friend.
The witch smiled but quickly faded with a look of worry and sadness.
"He looks so exhausted." Hermione said gently as she watched him sleep.
The werewolf stirred and the jacket fell to the floor. She picked up the jacket and covered him back up. Hermione smiled slightly and brushed his graying hair out of his face. Remus sighed and relaxed under her gentle touch. He moved his body and unknowingly laid his head in her lap. Hermione looked at the wizard and than at her friends in shock.
"Should I move him?" she whispered.
"No last night was the full moon let the pour guy sleep." Harry said gently and Ron nodded in agreement.
Hermione looked down and started playing with Remus's hair. The werewolf's body relaxed and a small smile graced his face and he snuggled a bit closer to her body.
They spent the time telling each other about their summer breaks and Remus shifted once and a while and that was to snuggle closer to Hermione.

The Hogwarts Express slowed down to a halt and the students grabbed their bags. Harry and Ron stood up and grabbed their bags. Remus slowly opened his eyes. He noticed he was laying in someone's lap. He looked up and smiled slightly.
He sat up, "I'm sorry. I didn't….Hermione good heavens. I almost didn't recognize you. You look beautiful."
The witch blushed and looked away. Remus gently lifted her head, "Don't look away. It's nothing but a complement to a beautiful woman."
Hermione smiled, "Thank you Professor."
He nodded and rose to his feet. The wizard turned and jumped when he saw Harry and Ron. The boys laughed at the werewolf.
"It's alright sir," said Harry. "Come on Mione we need to get to the carriages."
"We'll see you later Professor." Hermione said with a smile and the trio left the compartment.
"Stupid. Stupid. Well played Remus hitting on a student. Way to go Mooney." he mumbled and got off the train.
