She pushed him up against the wall and pressed her lips to his own. Strawberries..... he recognized that taste from somewhere.

Her fingers were tracing lines across his chest as she desperately clung to him, digging for more. He tried to give her what she wanted but his mind was blank at the moment. The blood was rushing from his brain and filling up in places elsewhere blocking him from all rational thought.

She leaned back and smiled at him seductively, licking her lips as she ripped his shirt from him. He smiled back but soon moaned in pleasure as she began sucking on his neck. He couldn't believe this was happening to him, just a guy that no one paid attention too.

He glided her easily to the bed in the corner of the room and threw her down. She smiled up at him as she pulled her own shirt off and threw it at him. A small moan escaped his own lips as she slid her bra off easily and motioned for him to join her.

He laid on the bed beside her and watched as she crawled on top of him and began sliding his pants down, kissing him as she went. He wanted her so much in that moment, just to feel her in an intimate way, he had never wanted anyone like this before.

She made her way back up to his chest and began working her hands down his waist tracing her name as she went. She pulled his boxers down and found what she was looking for, she wrapped her hand around him and he felt pleasure run through his body.

Harry suddenly sat upright in bed sweating and looking around wildly to see if what just happened was really just a dream. He had never dreamed of her like that before, he had never seen her in a sexual way.

Harry looked over and spotted Ron snoring loudly in the bed beside him, he knew then that what he had seen was a dream.

"Hermione...." he whispered to himself, he could still feel her hands on his body and the taste of her lips.

How would he ever be able to look at her again? Why had he dreamed of her like that?

In the room directly under his own Hermione Granger had just experienced one of the best dreams in her life. She had been with someone that she cared for deeply, someone that she had never seen as more than a friend before that night. Little did she know that the object of her dream had the same dream as her, she couldn't help but feel giggly as she thought about what she had done in her dream.


******************************

Harry was sitting in the drawing room on the first floor when someone walked in, he took no notice of who it was because he was busy reading one of the books that Sirius had saved from school. He wanted to keep it himself because he saw many comments and remarks that had been written in the book by none other than his father, it was something he couldn't explain.

Harry heard a small cough and turned to the other side of the room where Hermione had curled up in one of the chairs and was reading. He couldn't help but notice how well her hair framed her face and fell in her eyes just right. Her brown eyes sparkled as she drank in the words on the page and her pink lips moved slightly as she read. He could feel himself wanting to kiss those lips at that moment, taking her in his arms and holding her forever.

What is wrong with me? He thought to himself, why couldn't he get his best friend out of his mind.

Hermione could feel Harry's eyes burning into her soul. She knew that he was staring at her but she didn't want to look at him, she had avoided him all day, every time she got near him her face flushed and she began picturing her dream and had to keep herself from attacking him right there. She knew she had to tell someone about her feelings but the only girl there was Ginny and they had witnessed her antics the day before, she was not a likely candidate.

Footsteps echoed down the hall and Hermione caught a glimpse of Remus Lupin walking by, he smiled at her and waved and she decided that he was someone who would know what to do. Hermione quickly jumped up and tossed her book down and bolted out the door after her former professor. She spotted him walking into his bedroom at the end of the hall.

"Professor...." she said to him before he closed his bedroom door. "Can I speak to you.... in private?" She saw him smile at her.

"Sure Hermione," He motioned for her to come in his room. "Come on in, I was just coming in to get a book."

Remus Lupin sat down in a chair across from his bed and motioned for Hermione to sit down on his bed, he looked her to tell him what was going on.

"Professor," Hermione managed to stutter out. "Have you ever been..... in love?" She blushed at the last word.

Remus took her comment in slowly thinking about why she was asking him something like this. He smiled at the young girl and realized she probably was in love herself. "Once." He told her.

"What happened?"She asked him shyly. "I mean if it's not to private."

"No Hermione. It's alright. You see when I was in school with James, Sirius and Lily I had developed very strong feelings for someone," His smile faded a bit. "Someone I couldn't have. You see she was already taken and one thing I vowed to never do was betray a friend."

"You mean," Hermione thought for a moment. "You were in love with Harry's mum weren't you?"

"You really are very clever Hermione." He couldn't believe he was telling someone this after such a long time, not even Harry knew this. "Yes I was in love with Lily, very much so. I knew how much James cared for her so I never said anything to him, he had done so much for me in the past. When Lily and James were married my heart was broken and I knew that I could never have her but the love never faded. I still love her to this day, though James did eventually figure out what I felt for his wife. It was then that Sirius lost his trust in me, it wasn't long before James and Lily were killed."

"So that's why James didn't tell you that they had switched secret keepers...?" Hermione felt very sorry for him.

"Yes, it is. Now forget my sad story, why were you wondering if I had ever been in love?" He asked her, his smile returning.

"Oh, well. I want to know what it feels like, I think I may be in love with someone but they don't know how I feel?"

"Well Hermione," Remus leaned forward as if going to whisper to her. "It feels as if you can't live without that person, they are in your dreams and your every thought. You would rather die yourself than put them in danger. At least that is how I felt about Lily."

Hermione knew right then that what she was feeling for Harry was love, she had always loved him.

"Would you like to tell me who you are in love with Hermione?" Remus smiled at her.

"Please don't tell anyone but it's Harry." She felt her face heat up again and she tried to hide her cheeks.

"I thought as much, you two are made for each other and I have a feeling it won't be long before he realizes the same thing Hermione."

********************************

The room was dark and very cold, so cold Harry could feel it down to his bones. He surveyed his surroundings and realized he was back in the room with the veil. Whispering was escaping the swaying cloth once again and Harry could slightly hear Sirius' voice.

Harry edged closer to the cloth trying his best to understand what they were saying to him. The veil swayed more forcefully this time and Harry saw once again a hand reaching out. It clutched his shirt tightly and Harry could feel it burning on his chest, something was trying to escape.

Sirius pulled himself free of the veil and turned to Harry, he had to warn him just let him know.

"Sirius?" Harry stuttered.

"Yes, Harry it's me. I haven't got much time but you have to know, they are coming for her, they will find her and torture her. You are the one that matters to her most though, her thoughts of you will keep her sane." Sirius looked behind him with a frightened glance.

"Who?"

"Harry I'm sorry but I can't tell you, just know that her love for you burns deep within her heart and love is what will save her. Love can stop them Harry, tell her before you lose her."

Harry felt Sirius loosen his grip on Harry and began backing away, several hands reached from inside the veil and pulled him back in. Harry reached for his godfather, he wanted desperately to save him but it was too late he was gone.

There was a loud click and Harry saw the deatheaters enter the room again with someone tied up. He could hear her crying and moaning in pain. He wanted to save her but he was frozen to the spot. He saw Voldemort once again and this time he spoke directly to Harry.

"She will not protect you Harry, you will lose her."Voldemort's word slithered out of his mouth. "Nothing can save her Harry Potter, not even you." Voldemort raised his wand and screamed curses at the girl tied up, she screamed in pain but this time she screamed for someone.

"Harry!!!!" Harry recognized her voice but he wasn't sure where he had heard it before.

Harry awoke with a start and sat up in bed and saw that it was morning outside, he was still shivering though. He quickly crawled out of bed, dressed and went downstairs for breakfast, he could smell Mrs. Weasley's wonderful cooking wafting through the house.


When Harry got to the kitchen he saw that Hermione, Ron and Remus Lupin were already down there, he took a seat beside Hermione although he didn't notice her shudder when his arm grazed against her bare skin.

Harry was deep into his food when he felt the burning in his chest again and looked down to see what was wrong, Hermione was watching him closely. Harry pulled the collar of his shirt down and vividly saw a hand print burned into his skin where Sirius had touched him in his dream, Hermione saw it as well.

"Harry," she squealed at him. "How did you do that?"

He quickly tried to hide the burn but Mrs. Weasley and Remus Lupin had already seen it. He searched the room frantically trying to find some way of explaining away his ghostly warnings from Sirius and the realistic dreams he was having, nothing could save him.

"Sirius," Harry muttered. "I got the burn from Sirius."
