McGonagall’s eyes softened even further, a flicker of something almost maternal in her gaze. “You’re not alone in this, Hermione,” she said softly. “We’re here to help you—myself, Dumbledore, and Remus. You’re still learning, and it will take time to fully understand what this means for you.”

“This wasn’t his fault,” she blurted out, her voice more urgent than she intended. “Professor Lupin—Remus—he was fighting it the whole time. I know he was. He tried to stop it, to hold back, but… it was me. I was the one who couldn’t control it. I don’t want him to feel like he did something wrong.”

She closed her eyes, trying to focus on the sound of her own breathing, but the dull ache in her chest wouldn’t go away. It wasn’t just physical—though her body still felt raw from the intensity of the heat—but there was something deeper, a sense of confusion and shame that made her stomach churn.

He was bigger than she had imagined—larger than anyone she had ever been with before. The feeling of his hard length pressing against her made her gasp, her body trembling with both anticipation and fear. It was overwhelming, the size of him, the heat between them so intense that she could barely think. "Alpha," she whispered again, the word catching in her throat as her body ached with need. Remus growled in response, the sound vibrating through her, primal and possessive. She pressed her harder against the rough wooden wall, his growl low and rumbling as he positioned himself at her entrance. Hermione’s hands clutched at his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin as she braced herself. The heat inside her was unbearable now, her body screaming for release, for him to fill the aching void that had consumed her. But as he began to push into her, she realized just how big he truly was. Her breath hitched, her body tensing as he stretched her beyond anything she had ever felt before. It was too much—almost too much to bear—and for a moment, she wondered if she could take him at all. The sensation of him filling her, inch by inch, was both exquisite and terrifying, the intensity of it making her cry out in a mix of pleasure and pain. “Alpha” she gasped, her voice trembling as her body strained to accommodate him. “You’re… too big…”
