Chapter 4
Later that night after a very pleasurable shared shower, Misty called them to dinner. They went to the dining room and had a wonderful supper then adjourned to the study to go over all the papers they had gotten from the bank and begin making plans.
"So. Mi, your a bit better at planing then I am. Not to mention I figure that incredible brain of yours has probably been processing all day." Harry said as he smiled at her lovingly.
"Well Harry, other then the few time when I've been thoroughly distracted." Here she ran her hand down the center of his chest making him growl. She smirked at him and continued, "I have been thinking about it a lot. I think first we need to figure out who we want to share information with and how much each person needs to know. Then we should write those people letters. There is one thing I think needs done before we actually send those letters." Harry looked at her for a moment then she saw the look of recognition on his face.
"The blood wards." He said.
"Yes, when the wards come down that will definitely get Dumbledore's attention. Then we can send out the letters to everyone. Including him."
"Sounds perfect to me Mi. So what do we wish to share and with who?"
"Personally, Harry, before we decide that I want to look at this documents showing our family lines. If that is okay."
"I was hoping you would say that love." Harry grinned.
After an hour of intense studying on both their parts they figured out that they were related to the Queen of England (cousins), and that they were both direct descendants to their respective founders. Harry laughed at this remembering second year when everyone kept saying he was the heir of Slytherin. Funny how things turn out sometimes. They also figured out that Voldemort was not the heir because the line that the Gaunts descended from was actually a bastard line from and illegitimate child of Salazar's wife. No relation at all really. Which they both found to be funny. They also found that between them they owned Hogwarts proper and all it's grounds and outbuildings and that they now had the power to over rule the board of governors. After another session of information overload they decided to go to bed and figure out the rest of their plans tomorrow. They went to their bedroom and curled up together and drifted to sleep.
The next morning Harry woke spooning Hermione from behind. His already hard cock rubbing up against her glorious ass. His hands started to roam; he massaged her breast gently causing her to moan in her sleep. He leaned down and started kissing and licking her neck causing her to wiggle back to get closer to him. He removed one hand from her breasts and slid it down her stomach to her core and started rubbing her clit.
That woke her up.
She turned her head and looked at him with hooded eyes then raised up and kissed him deeply. Harry could feel she was already wet and could wait no longer. He pulled away, allowing her to roll on to her back. He covered her body with his own and quickly slid his member into her hot, wet channel making them both groan.
Hermione whispered in his ear. "Yes, Harry. You feel so good inside me. I love you."
"I love you too, Mi. With everything that I am." The couple continued till they both found their bliss.
Later, after a another shared shower, they went down to breakfast. "Well, Harry, have you given any thought to who we should share what with?" Hermione asked him between bites of her breakfast.
"I've actually got a few ideas on that Mi. I think we should get your folks to come live here. It would be a lot safer than their home and we are liable to be pissing off a lot of people very soon. There is no reason to leave them out in the wind for anyone to hurt. If you don't want them here or they would rather have a place of their own, I'm sure we can find them somewhere to stay." They both chuckled softly at that.
"Thank you Harry for thinking of them." Hermione said while kissing him sweetly.
"No need for thanks love. They are family. I would also like to bring Sirius and Remus here. They would also be safer here and their advice could be priceless."
"I agree with that as well." Hermione replied while giving him an odd look.
"What is it Mi?" Harry asked.
"What do you want to do about the Weasleys?" Hermione asked in a quiet voice.
Harry took her hand in his and pulled her into his lap and held her close while he thought. Finally he said, "Bill and Charlie we don't need worry about cause we don't know them well enough. Percy is in the MOM's pocket so until we decide what to do about it we will not tell him any thing. The twins would probably be happy for us and keep our secrets and try to find a way to use us for pranks. Ron...Ron I'm not sure of at all. I figure as soon as he finds out about us being married and rich he's going to blow his top and be like he was last year. Ginny, I also don't know about. I really don't know her well enough to tell her anything. I'm just glad she's over her crush on me."
Hermione laughed and said, "No she's not Harry. She still has a major crush on you." Harry was shocked.
"But she was dating those other guys."
"Yeah, she was dating them to try and get you to see her as a girl."
Harry shrugged. "Doesn't really matter. I'm happily spoken for and it's still the same thing. I don't know her well enough to share much of anything with her; except the public story."
Hermione sighed, "I'm afraid your right about Ron though. I don't think he's going to take any of it well and will pull away from you again and really, he's not that good with secrets."
"Yeah, I know." So it was decided to keep the Weasleys, except for the twins, at arms length. They then set to work getting things ready.
A few days later the house elves moved the Grangers into the house. They had been worried about the danger there kids where in more then themselves and where thrilled to be staying in this wonderful home with them. Now Harry and Hermione were working on getting the two Marauders here. Harry sent Sirius a carefully written letter that only Sirius would truly understand via house elf. The elf returned with a paw print on a piece of parchment. This meant they where on. A few days later Harry sent two house elves to bring Sirius, Remus and Buckbeak to the Manor. Once they appeared the house elves got them settled into rooms of their own and let Buckbeak loose in the woods behind the house. Then everyone met in the library to discuss what was going on.
Sirius and Remus where shocked by Harry and Hermione's change. "Pup, something like this shouldn't have happened till you both become of age or at least 16. What do you think triggered it to happen this early." Harry looked at Hermione and she answered Sirius.
"Well, the going theory at the moment is that Harry's duel with Voldemort last year caused his magical core to...take a jump...per say. For my part, the use of a time turner in third year probably pushed me a bit closer to it as well. With his core in overload his change was triggered which triggered mine since we are Soul Bonded Mates."
Sirius and Remus thought for a moment and agreed with Hermione. The group stayed in the library the rest of the afternoon while Harry and Hermione brought them up to date on everything that had happened and everything they had found out and what few plans they had made. The Grangers and Sirius and Remus where all impressed with what they had come up with so far. They added their advice and plans where laid out. Part one of the plan was put into place. They wrote letters to Dumbledore, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, the twins, Ron, Ginny, and Rita Skeeter. Then Harry stood and in a strong voice said, "The Dursley's home at Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey is not my home." They waited a few hours and then sent the letters. The house elves then called them all to dinner.
At Hogwarts, one of Dumbledore's devices started shrieking. Albus was stunned. The wards at the Dursley's just came down! He jumped up and ran downstairs and out the door and apperated to the Surrey. He never noticed Fawkes spread his wings, throw his head back and give a joyous cry. When Dumbledore arrived at Number 4 everything was fine. He could see no reason for the wards to fall. He quickly knocked on the door. Petunia answered and was shocked to see him. "What are you doing here?" she asked
"The wards came down Petunia. Where is Harry?"
"I don't know." She sniffed. "Some girl came here a week after he returned home. She stayed with him in his room over night and then they both left the next morning saying he would not be back, ever. They both looked a lot different. He took all his things with him. I've not seen or heard from him since and good riddance. Now if you will excuse me. I have things to do." and she closed the door in his face. Dumbledore was worried. That meant Harry had been away from the house for almost a week before the wards fell. That must mean he felt his home was not here. Where on earth could the boy be. He apperated back to Hogwarts and went to his office getting ready to call an order meeting when Hedwig, Harry's owl, showed up with a letter for him. He took the letter and set down to read. Relief coursing though him that at least the boy was safe. The more he read of the letter the happier he became. He wished the transformation had waited a few more years to be easier on the two but was thrilled with everything they now had access too. Things where looking up.
The Weasleys where just sitting down to dinner when a house elf popped into their kitchen. He bowed to Mr. Weasley and said, "I has letters for yous and your family sir from my Master and Mistress." Arthur was so surprised that he just nodded his head. The elf hand him a letter address to him and Molly, handed a letter to Fred for he and George and handed one each to Ron and Ginny and then popped away. After everyone had read their letters kitchen was filled with shocked silence. Then the twins suddenly shouted, "Wicked!" and did a little dance around the kitchen, happy for their friends. This seemed to wake everyone up. Arthur and Molly where happy for the couple but worried about the responsibilities they now had. Ron was ranting about how Harry got everything and how he now had Hermione too and about it not being fair. Ginny was sniffling quietly now that Harry was forever out of her reach and even a little hurt that he called her his little sister he never had.
Rita Skeeter was surprised when a house elf popped into her flat. He handed her a letter and popped back out. She read the letter and became more and more excited. The little know it all swot that had forced her out of her job at the Prophet was now offering her an even better position as Lord and Lady Potter's official publicist. She couldn't believe it. She looked over the contract and knew it would be magically binding if she signed it. They where giving her a really good deal so she signed on the dotted line. The contract glowed for a moment and then it was done. She now needed to come up with a press release to go into the Prophet and the Quibbler as well as Witch Weekly and a few other publications to give the information that Potters wanted to be public. She would do the best job she could for them. They where giving her a new lease on life with a much better job then rumor mongering.
Harry, Hermione, Remus, Sirius and the Grangers were relaxing in the sitting room. They were all chatting softly over coffee. Trying to get to know one another better and just enjoying the peaceful evening. Misty, the head elf walked in with letters on a silver tray. "Messages have come in for you Sir, Missus." He handed them the letters, refreshed everyone's coffee and then left the room. The first one was a copy of the contract signed by Rita. The second was from Dumbledore telling them that he was glad they where safe and approving of their plans. He also stated that he would be calling an Order meeting to bring everyone into the loop. The third was from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley congratulating them on their marriage and letting them know they would be willing to help them in any way. The fourth from the twins was also congratulatory. The fifth was from Ron and they both quit reading it about half way though. His response was what they expected but that didn't make it any easier. The last was from Ginny and contained nothing but a curt congratulations. After reading all the letters and letting the others know what they where; the young couple decided to retire for the night.
As the couple lay in bed together, Hermione's head resting on Harry's chest with Harry's hand running through her hair, they where both quiet. Thinking of Ron's letter. Hermione eventually said, "I'm sorry Harry. About Ron and the way he took all this." Harry's hand stilled for a moment. He pulled her close and rolled her on to her back, covering her body with his, settling between her legs. He raised her hands above her head and held them there with one hand while stroked her face with his other.
"Don't" he choked out. "Don't apologize for that prat anymore Mi. We've both apologized for and carried him for too long. It's time to let him go and let him stand on his own." He then rested his head on her shoulder letting go of her hands.
"Harry, I wasn't apologizing for him. I was sorry that your feelings are hurt. I'm used to him treating me like this, he has since first year, but your not used to it and I'm sure your hurting a bit from it."
Harry raised his head and looked into the eyes of his beautiful wife seeing nothing but love and concern for him. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm getting used to it."
Hermione cupped Harry's face and kissed him tenderly. Pulling back just a little she whispered against his lips, "I love you my husband and I always will. Nothing can every come between us." Hermione's words touched him deeply and stirred his desire for her.
"I love you too my wife. We will be together till the end of time. As long as I have you. Nothing else matters." Harry kissed her hard, pouring all his love, devotion and passion into this kiss. They spent the rest of the night expressing their love for one another until they both fell into a satiated sleep.
