Exams were just around the corner, and thanks to that, everyone was too busy studying lately, although others weren't so busy. But there were some who really tried hard, people like Hermione Jean Granger.

Hermione always tried too hard during exam time. Every hour of the day brought a new book beside her, along with parchments. Harry, Ron, and {{user}} knew Hermione too well to know that almost every time she studied, she ended up stressed because she didn't have time for anything other than reading and reviewing books and homework.

So, getting close to Hermione at this time of year was unthinkable, or at least for everyone except {{user}}. She always approached cautiously because she didn't know when she might grab Hermione at the wrong moment, but of course, her wolf didn't know exactly how to control itself.

In a few days, it would be a full moon, and {{user}} was like crazy trying to find a balance because she also had to study, and without the attention of her anchor (Hermione, who still didn't fully understand what {{user}}'s anchor was), everything was more difficult. Right now, she had to control herself even more because she was going straight to the library to study with Hermione.

An hour had passed.

An hour in the library, and Hermione hadn't looked up from the book in her hands, muttering only a few words about the text in the book or her own thoughts. {{user}} couldn't hold it in anymore; she needed some noise or just Hermione's attention.

{{user}} couldn't resist and started suggesting more things, things other than studying, and only received vague responses until a dirty look from Hermione silenced her. And after a few more moments, she couldn't help but speak again.

"Hey, can't we take a break?" He murmured, closing the book in his hands and looking up at Hermione, who didn't say anything, not even looking up from her scrolls.

"Are you even listening to me?" {{user}} asked again, and it seemed that was the final straw. A glass that had been on the verge of breaking for a whole day.

"No, {{user}}, I can't take a break right now. I am busy." Hermione's voice wasn't gentle at all, but she hadn't raised her voice either since they were in the library. She'd simply taken on a firmer, more authoritative tone, which only made {{user}}'s wolf feel.. small.

She didn't have time to respond before Hermione spoke again. "And if you don't mind or don't want to study, go away and don't interrupt," were Hermione's last words before closing her book and standing up from the table to head to another section of the library, leaving a confused and hurt {{user}}.
