The Troubled with Marriage Laws Chapter 6, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter Six: Harry's Attractive Isn't He?

"So to answer our question," Luna began to say with a serious look on her face "Are you worried because you think you'll have one with Draco, Harry, Blaise, Jax or Seth or are you worried on both parts," she asked.

Hermione frowned thoughtfully as she ran the tips of her fingers over her gritty-greenish-brown kneecaps, poking up through the surface of the mud bath "I don't know. I could quite honestly be either I think. I mean I don't want to be unfair to him and that's the biggest thing really. Marrying not just one but, five husbands… while you guys have two or three suitors while I have five it's not fair," she whispered.

"Has anyone ever told you that life is never fair Mama Mia," Aqua sighed.

"Yes I have been told that bunch of times but, I didn't think I would be in that position Aqua," Hermione pointed out.

"True," Aqua murmured at this.

"Well there's only one answer?" Cho wriggled about in her tub as she again gave that playfully smile of hers.

"And what's that Cho?"

"You have to kiss Harry,"

Blinking hard, Hermione tried to proceed that idea, but, her mind was suspiciously blank "I….I don't think I can do that… I've never looked at him like that before?"

"What's the matter Mia?" Luna asked, pouting -a rather adorable and amusing sigh, what the colored mud covering her face "Don't you think Harry's an attractive man?"

Hermione's shoulders slumped as she nodded "Well, of course Harry's attractive. He's…." her face fell and her eyes widened "Oh God. Harry's an attractive man isn't he?"

Her friends and her two sisters all nodded in reply.

"Well of course he's attractive he's always been attractive," Ginny huffed "I should know I dated the bloke longer then any of you,"

Ariel nodded to herself "And once again she's right about that,"

"And if my imput counts for anything," Cho said, steepling her finges "He's probably a great, no not great an amazing brilliant kisser than both mine and Ginny's relationship put together,"

Turning her head slowly, Hermione met Cho's gaze while Ginny's smiled a little.

Ginny shrugged "She's right. if he's that good when I was 16 or when they were 15, I can only imagine he's improved with age,"

Bitting her lip, Hermione tried very hard to imagine herself kissing Harry. Her posture dropping a bit as she failed—even an imagined scenario, the attempt ended with her and Harry laughing too hard to make a serious go of it—she asked her friends.

"What can't I see him that way guys,"

"You probably conditioned yourself not too-"Luna pointed out, her tone was reasonable "After all when you two were becoming very attractive people you are together, Harry fancied Ginny-well not at first mind you he fancied Cho—" Cho gave a small nod as the blond witched continued "Then there was Ginny who he dated longest while you had past boyfriends neither both Harry or Ron knew about it. Well that's not that's true Harry probably know about it but, Ron didn't because we all know how he has a bad temper and takes it the wrong way then you fancied He Whose Name Now Infuriates You,"

"What about Blaise?"

"What about him?"

"Shouldn't I be attractive to him too since he's part of being 'my husband to be' list?"

"Well don't you think he's attractive enough Mia?"

Hermione frowned "Well I never really talked to him that much back in school but, he seemed to be a flirt… and jokes a lot whenever he's around me… also he's one of Mal-"Hermione stopped herself before she took another breath to calm down "I mean Draco's close friends… wouldn't it be awkward if I felt myself attractive to him too?"

"And then there's your past ex-boyfriends Jax Santos and Seth Patterson. Tell us about them?"

Hermione looked up at the ceiling for a moment "Well… Jax and I grew up together in our old neighborhood and Seth just happens to be my big brother Jayden's best friend… he never really saw me that way until my 3rd year in Hogwarts when I was doing a performance for the children,"

"Children?" Ginny, Cho and Luna exclaimed.

"Oh yes I would perform for the children in need for charity we made enough to give them a home my sister in laws Mal and Sophia are both heads of the building and raised the orphan children who don't have a home,"

The girls gape at Hermione who smiled innocently giving her sisters a look.

"It's true she has a beautiful amazing voice sometimes we'd sing together in a band to raise more money just so the children would have a good home because of it with amount toys, clothes, food etc. anything really to give to the children. It was a big success for us," Aqua replied.

"Bloody hell,"

Hermione snickered as she nodded.

Again Cho shrugged "Back to the subject at hand it's just like learning spells and enchantments. You train yourself until the knowledge became ingrained and you know exactly what to cast when the situation calls for it,"

Hermione pondered what Cho said "You know Cho that actually makes sense," she twisted the crystal band around her finger "I need to sort through this somehow, if I can't figure a way out of this marriage law but, that would mean I have to marry all five of them… five suitors of pureblood wizards. Harry being a half blood except now he's not just my best friend… he's going to be my husband… how in Merlin did I get myself into this… getting married to five wizards… it's just not fair," she whispered.

Luna sat up now, sighing dramatically as she pulled her mask from her owl-like blue eyes. "I don't think there is a way out, Hermione. I'm sorry."

"You'd have to find a way to reverse the rate of Squib births, and it's not like the Ministry and every other Wizarding government hasn't tried." Ginny shook her head, once more patting Hermione's hand reassuringly.

"Pretty sure not even I could pull that off," Hermione said, tipping her head to one side as Ginny and Luna preoccupied herself with cleaning the mud from beneath the Gryffindor witch's nails while Cho continued to talk "No, just . . . reverse the decision, maybe. Find a way to change the results of the Match so it would only be Harry."

"And you'd be happy, then?" Luna asked, her brows inching up her forehead.

Smiling, Hermione nodded. "I think we'd both be."

"Except for the whole might-not-have-a-spark issue," Ginny said, frowning.

Hermione deflated at that. "Yeah."

"We already told you how you can find out."

Hermione looked from one Ravenclaw to the other, and back. "Refresh my memory?" She knew the answer had been handed to her, she simply couldn't recall it—or she didn't want to.

Luna leaned forward, looking past Hermione to meet Cho's, Ginny's, Ariel and Aqua's gaze, before the four said in unison, "Kiss Harry!"

Pouting, Hermione pulled her mask into place and sank down into the grainy mud. She had known the answer, but it was as intriguing as it was terrifying. To Luna and Cho, it was only a kiss, but to Hermione, it was a simple act that could change one of the most important things in her life, forever—her friendship with Harry.

"Why do I have to kiss Harry again?"

"Because you loooooove him," Ariel teased.

Hermione pouted "I'm kidding Mimi relax babez," Ariel patting her hand "Even if that's true you have to kiss him just to see if there's such a spark and even there is well at least you know since you already know that there's sparks between you, Seth and Draco. all you got to do is kiss Harry, Blaise and Jax…and I know you have every right to be mad at me, Aqua, Jayden, Cameron, Henry and Zane for keeping a huge secret from you over the years when we didn't tell you about Seth being alive and we're sorry about that bug. We were just trying to protect you since we all knew how Seth's death affected mostly along with the rest of us and babe," cupping her sister chin to look at her "He still loves you. They both do and even if this marriage law does work out I'm sure you'll figure out how to tame the boys since you have them wrapped around your little finger," she winked causing the girls to giggle at this.

The same day in the other side of the Wizarding World of the Malfoy Manor. Draco was explaining to his parents well last night mind you but, unfortunately it didn't help Lucius Malfoy as he was still being a bit dramatic over this.

"They can't possibly be serious about this?!" Lucius roared, crumbling the missive—which only confirmed the absurd news Draco had given him when he had returned from work, last night "What the bloody hell is wrong with these people. FIVE SUITORS marrying the Granger girl!? And you just happen to be one of those Suitors to marry her!? It's absolutely absurd!?"

Draco blinked, his grey eyes widening… but, he wasn't quite certain if he was relived his father was echoing his own words from yesterday or if he was disturbed at suddenly noticing the startling resemblance between himself and his father Lucius "That's-that's what I said!"

"I really thought this insanity would be sorted before they got to you but, this-this is travesty! You're simply expected to marry that-that-that Granger girl!?'

Narcissa sighed as she shook her head, her attention on the needlepoint she was directing with a wave of her wand. They'd gone over all this last night…. were her son and her husband suffering some sort of anger-induced amnesia.

"And they want you to share her with POTTER no less?!"

"Well actually- "Narcissa calmly leaving her husband Lucius and Draco to turn to her who's been silent during the conversation "Ms. Granger is marrying five suitors remember. Harry Potter, Blaise Zabini who I likely want to point out is one of Draco's best friends since childhood and … two other suitors who just happens to be Ms. Granger's ex-boyfriends who she doesn't talk about it in her past Lucius," she calmly replied.

"And who are those two ex-boyfriends of Ms. Granger I wonder?" Lucius asked.

Draco sighed "Jason Santos who Granger mentioned called him 'Jax' then his half-brother Seth Patterson. I also found out they're purebloods and lived in America their whole lives at least from what I can tell from Granger's perspective anyway,"

"Wait…" Narcissa calmly paused "Did you just say Jason Santos…." That name sounded very familiar to her but, couldn't point out where she heard it from.

"Yes unfortunately I never talked to the bloke that much since we both hated each other. We didn't make a good impression at the Ministry since we're too upset over the marriage law and he was named after his father but, prefers to be called 'Jax' not Jason," Draco pointed out.

"Hmmm…" was the only say from Narcissa.

"And they still want you to share her with Potter and four other blokes that's barbaric?!"

Draco shook his head, sighing "I said that too father!"

As he spent a moment fuming in silence, Narcissa caught her son's gaze from across the sitting room. She shook her head, again, an expression of disdain flitting across her face at how the young man had managed to wind up his father twice about the same matter in less than twenty-four hours.

She set down her wand, her work placing itself neatly on the ottoman at her feet. Rising from the chaise, she crossed to her husband's side. "You will stand for it because this is the law Lucius," their last attempts to change laws had hardly won them any favors or any favors, or even a moment's peace of mind; in fact, it had nearly cost their lives.

He scowled—again concerning Draco over the question of familial resemblance—and took his wife's hands in his own. "You cannot tell me you are thrilled at the idea of having that Mud . . . that Muggle-born as a daughter-in-law. Or at the fact that she will have not one, not two but, five husbands besides our son do you Cissa?"

A surprised laugh bubbled out of her "Of course I'm not happy about the situation, Lucius!" she drew a deep breath and let it out slowly from between her lips as she held his steely gaze "But, it's the past the time for us to stop railing against what this is. These matches are in the best interest of all of you whether we like or not. Would you really be content with a grandchild who did not possess magic? Imagine how Ms. Granger is feeling out of all this. The young girl has not one, not two but, five husbands. Seeing her ex-lovers being chosen to be one of her husband's isn't going change anything Lucius or the fact that one of those husbands who supposed to be 'claimed to be dead' or the other who somehow cheated on her when she was very young and didn't take the news very well through a blackmail from her ex-boyfriend crazy ex-girlfriend Bella or how he tried to save her during the war when we could've lost our only son Lucius because of your bad decisions over the years," she explained.

"At least it wasn't Weasel," Draco shrugged causing his mother to glare at him.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy watch your tongue young man," Narcissa warned her son.

Draco bowed his head "I'm sorry Mother," he whispered.

"And besides... despite everything Lucius Blaise Zabini is also in the same dilemma as we are," Narcissa replied "And you know better than anyone not to piss off the Zabini family Lucius since they're the only ones besides Theodore Nott's family that still contacts with us while the rest of the Wizarding World wants nothing to do with us because of our mistake from the war,"

Squaring his jaw, Lucius dropped his gaze "I suppose I would not,"

The tension in Narcissa's shoulders eased and she nodded. None of the other families were making a spectacle of themselves by fussing over this—perhaps they were fussing privately, for all she knew—and she would not allow what little Post-War standing they'd gained to be damaged by becoming the first pure-bloods to fuss publicly.

"Besides," Draco said with a shrug as he eyed the greed-silver band around his finger; Merlin he wasn't even certain why he'd put the damned thing on "Granger said she's going to try to find a way out of this marriage law. If anyone can …." He shrugged again as he let his words trail off

Narcissa's brows crept up her forehead at what was almost a statement of praise toward the girl falling from her son's lips. Her husband, however . . ..

"WHAT?!" the color that had drained from his face for barley a blink flooded right back in "She's looking for a way out?! A way out of marrying a Malfoy! Any witch should be pleased at such a match that insult?! I demanded why she'd do such a horrible thing,"

Draco thought perhaps his father was a bit too temperamental at the moment to rightly recall Granger's less-than pleasant history between her and the Malfoy family.

"Father may I speak?"

Lucius eyebrows went high "You may…" he stiffly replied.

"Granger and I hate each other we both know that. Mother knows that and she knows that," Draco shrugged "The biggest one back in the war on what happen in that particular room…." As his eyes trailed over the art room where both his parents face expression drained "If you can't recall then you have a bad memory than mother" he stiffly replied.

He jumped a little as he noticed the withering look his mother was giving him. And he couldn't say he blamed her—especially not as Father went one another tear. She'd just gotten him to think reasonably about the situation and Draco had gone and dashed those efforts with a single sentence.

Lucius Malfoy had once had so much power, so much influence. Now he had to go along with absurd new rules and standards of conduct . . . and he could do nothing about them but huff and rage in the privacy of the Manor's walls. It wasn't that Draco didn't understand, it was only that he wished his father had chosen a coping mechanism that involved far less yelling.

As Father sank himself into another pointless tirade, Draco crept from the room on careful, quiet footfalls where someone flooed to the Malfoy Manor to reveal Blaise Zabini and his family.

"Draco you in here mate?" Blaise called in the background.

Draco sighed mumbling under his breath "In here Blaise,"

Blaise whispered something in Italian to his mother and grandmother along with his family as he went to join his best friend while the adults talk in the family room.

"Mrs. Zabini lovely to see you," Draco nodded kissing his best friend's mother on the cheek.

"Likewise Draco where's your mother and father? We have so much to discuss" Mrs. Zabini replied kissing her son's best friend on the cheek.

"Cissa," Mrs. Zabini exclaimed kissing her friend Narcissa on each cheek with her mother in law from her late husband who did the same "You look lovelier as I last saw you,"

Narcissa beamed "As always like you Sophia," she says.

The ladies chatted while Lucius Malfoy pouted where he was greeted from his longtime friend Mr. Zabini (Blaise's father) Riven Zabini was a good friend of Lucius since childhood so it would make a lot of sense if their sons were friends as well along with Severus Snape and the rest of the Slytherins.

"I take it you heard Lucius that both our sons are going to marry the muggleborn witch," Riven casually sipped his drink while their wives were chatting away along with his mother.

"I did….and how do you feel about that old friend?"

"Honestly…"

Lucius slowly nod at this "Honestly?"

"Don't me wrong this marriage law is barbaric but, I heard about all about Miss. Granger from Blaise point of view. It would seem that Blaise is very fond of the girl and I want my son to be happy and if this Miss. Granger makes him happy then who am I to stop that," Riven shrugged.

Lucius stared at his old friend like he was mental "You serious?"

"As a heart attack and I also heard about … Miss. Granger's past lovers Jason Santos and Seth Patterson… I recognize the Santos family is an old family friend in Italy,"

"You know him?"

"Oh yes… he reminds me of you Lucius except more …collected and keeps to himself especially with the Wizarding World. He had the best reputation in Italy, nearly made a scandal out of it stating that he made two witches pregnant out of wedlock. Both sons want nothing to do with the father as they're very protective with their mothers who recently got married to another wizard and gained a family because of it and their step fathers who both sons gain more respect than their father. They don't take very likely to others who disrespect muggleborn witches or wizards as both families are very fond with muggleborns and didn't believe the same beliefs as most pureblood families do in England," Riven explained.

"Really?"

"Yes really. In fact, I'm surprised Jason didn't find out about this marriage law and I have no doubt that neither of his sons want to tell him about it as they don't want anything to do with their biologically father who their both their mothers claimed to call him 'as a dead beat father' to both to their mothers. It would have explained why Jax and Seth are very protective with Miss. Granger as their childhood friends in their neighborhood,"

Lucius gave his thinking 'hmm' expression as he pondered this new information "And have you meet Miss. Granger. From what Draco told me through his years in Hogwarts she's the smartest witch in their school year… after Potter's mum Lily Potter 'nee Evans. Severus made his comments about the Potter boy thinking he's James copy but, failed to see that on many occasions over the years," he explained.

"I didn't meet her in person but, I have heard of her from Blaise himself. He was very fond of her and you know me Lucius I never believed what your family believed as we were raised differently since both my wife and I were both from Italy so in the Italian Wizarding World were raised differently than in England,"

"I supposed that's true since Cissa and I visit you on every occasion when we both have time," Lucius calmly replied.

While the Malfoy's and Zabini's were discussing what they're going to do with the marriage law Hermione was practically barreled through the door of 12 Grimmald Place as Harry opened the door. Swallowing hard at the severe expression on her face, he said belatedly "Hermione, come on in,"

Hermione gave a smile "Thank you…" as she entered herself inside the house as she spun the heel knowing this would change everything which she hoped it wouldn't "Harry we need to talk," saying those 'four horrible words' were one of the reasons girls don't like to hear or having no idea how to broach the subject.

Harry closed the door behind him as Harry darted his gaze about "This sounds serious?"

She tried not to fidget in place, twisting her ring around her finger for the … oh, she'd lost track of how many times she'd done that in the last hour, alone. "It is. But, it's not… well… sort of,"

"Um, okay," Harry said, unsure what to make of her nervous demeanor. "Why don't we go sit in the parlor or maybe in the balcony that might settled things a bit better?"

Nodding, she turned and headed there. She was already settled on the sofa by the time he stepped into the room. The parlor that they headed had a balcony so it helped both ways for Hermione.

"So uh what's going on Mione?" he asked as he sat besides her.

"I…." She met his gaze and pouted. The way he was staring at her—but, wasn't this how he always stared at her—twisted her stomach into giddy knots "Oh Merlin! I'm making this too hard I'm thinking too much!" she cried out.

Harry's eyes widen as he watched her clasp her hands together rocking back and forth a little in place "Hermione? What's going on?"

Sighing, her shoulders slumped as she shook her head "There's-there's something that we need to get out of the way?"

His brows rising up over the wire rims of his glasses, he nodded as he waited for her to elaborate. Yet as she stared back at him, her mouth opening and closing soundlessly a few times, he realized she couldn't manage to get out whatever it was she wanted to say.

With another nod, he slipped his arm around her shoulders and sank back into the sofa, pulling her with him. He hoped the more relaxed position would help set her at ease, at least a little "Just take your time. Mione. Whatever it is. It's okay,"

"That's the thing Harry," Hermione said in a whisper nearly broken, curling herself into his side and resting her cheek against his chest "I'm not sure if it is…"

Harry's lips twitched looking down on his best friend "Well just tell me what happen and we'll work it out okay," he offered.

Hermione pouted looking a bit ashamed of herself which left Harry to lift her chin "Mione it's okay whatever it is it's going to be okay,"

Hermione gave a sad smile after a few deep, calming breaths she told him about her day with Luna and Ginny as they brought her to the spa where she's meeting with her two sisters Ariel and Aqua along with Cho rambling on and on about how she told her parents last night on what's going on. Her father Daniel went mental stating he doesn't want his little girl to get married to young but, not to one or two but, five wizards who Hermione pointed out to her parents that two of them are her ex boyfriends Jax Santos and Seth Patterson which left her brothers face expression to drain while her sisters in law were confuse they weren't aware of that part of secret so you can imagine how she felt. That's when she explained about the spa day with the girls and how they pointed out that they should kiss while Harry nodded throughout most of it… and then she reached to the important conclusion. She felt the unmistakable shift in his posture as his spin stiffened.

Harry had a blank expression "They-they said that we should-?

"Yes,"

"And what do you think?"

Hermione frowned, the quickened beat of her heart beneath her ear not helping to sooth her nerves "I…I think… if we're going to be married then maybe it's better to know sooner, rather than later, whether or not there's something between us or not. Does that make any sense Harry?"

Harry nodded, letting out a sigh "It does. Ron pointed out the same thing but, I didn't know you were thinking the same with Ginny or the girls about this,"

Hermione eyebrows went high in surprised "Ron? When did you see him?"

"Last night apparently he has to marry Seamus Finnagin and Pansy Parkinson… since my parents...Sirius, Remus or Tonks are…" Harry voice drifted away as his eyes downcast sadly.

Hermione's soften her eyes "Oh Harry…" as she gave him a hug to comfort him.

"Did you ask what Andie thought?"

"I did…" Harry slowly nod at this "She thought the marriage law was barbaric her words not mine," he chuckled at the memory "And that's when Teddy comes in the room asking me what we were talking about. I told him as discreet as I can possibly can. I told him the truth without making it too difficult for him to understand. He seems to think it's a good idea since me and you are getting married which Andie and I were very amused by that notion," he chuckled at this.

"He also said that whoever this Seth and Jax fellow he's going to kick their butts for hurting his favorite Mimi," he chuckled twitched his lips in amuse.

Hermione groaned at this "Oh did he now?" she looked a bit amuse by this trying to hold her giggles then realize what Harry said a few minutes ago "Wait a minute did you just say Ron has to marry Seamus. Seamus Finnagin and Pansy Parkinson," she cried out in protest.

"Yes, yes I did. Apparently Pansy choice of suitors were both Ron and Seamus. Two Gryffindor's for the Slytherin Ice Princess and she went mad not liking the choice in the matter and neither did Ron or Seamus since they all hate each other since our school days,"

Hermione stared at him with wide eyes in horror "That's what Ron and I both said," Harry pointed out noticing her horror expression.

"So let me get this straight… Neville who I heard from Luna told me that Neville is going to marry Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott and Luna Lovegood then there's Ron who has to marry Pansy Parkinson and Seamus Finnagin then there's Ginny who's currently engaged with Dean Thomas and added another bloke Theodore Nott who's a Slytherin and happens to be Draco's' friends from school-"Hermione pondered in thought trying to remember everyone "Then there's Cho who's going to marry Greg Goyle another friend of Draco's and Oliver Wood, then my two sisters with the Weasley Twins Fred and George but, since they're already married they don't count," she pouted leaving Harry to pat her on the back chuckling at this "Then there's me. marrying five blokes. You, Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, then my two ex-boyfriends Jason 'Jax' Santos and Seth Patterson," she cried out in protest waving her arms dramatically "Why in Merlin do I have to have that many blokes while the rest of our friends have 2-3 matches?!" she pouted.

Harry shrugged "I wish I knew Mione. I really do,"

"It's not fair," Hermione pouted.

"Didn't anyone tell you that life is never fair,"

Hermione huffed "Yes, yes I have,"

"Then there you go…so…" Harry shifted turning to face his best friend "What do you think?"

"About what?"

"That thing that we talked about before?"

She lifted her head to meet his gaze that made her realize what he was talking about and made an 'O' and straighten up a bit "You mean about us kissing?"

"Yes…"

"So…does that mean you want to try?"

He was already looking at her. She froze in his loose embrace, aware rather suddenly of how close they were. So close, she could feel the warmth of his breath against her skin.

There was simply . . . something in the way he was looking at her. Had he ever looked at her like that before? She couldn't recall, but it made the air catch in her throat.

Bracing her palms on the cushion beneath her, she raised up a bit. Her heart hammered against her rib cage and her lips tingled as he lowered his head toward hers.

The first brush of his mouth over hers was soft, feathery. She felt warmth rush into her face, and butterflies zip through her stomach as she leaned up just a bit more, pressing her lips more firmly against his practically straddling his lap as they started to kiss roughly with tongue.

He felt the gentle scrape of her teeth, and the tip of her tongue flicking teasingly. Just as he opened to her, she pulled back, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Oh, I'm—I'm sorry, Harry! Was . . . ." She chewed on her lip nervously before she could finish the question. "Was that too much?"

Puffing out his cheeks, he shook his head. "Not, um, no. Not at all."

She shifted up to sit beside him, again. They stared at the far wall of the parlor in silence for a few heartbeats.

"I don't know if I feel better or worse than that but, it was nice," she whispered, uncertainty causing her tone to waver.

Harry nodded, though he tried not to grin. That had been nice. If only they'd known that years ago.

"So," he finally said, turning toward her, "the nibbling, licking at my bottom lip while straddling my lap thing?"

A blush darkened her cheeks instantly. "It's just . . . something I do. I'm sorry I didn't hurt you did I Harry?"

His eyebrows shot up and uttered an appreciative laugh. "Merlin no! Mione that was… Wow! I wasn't expected that at all but, wow!

"Thanks."

Another strained moment passed before he said, "No wonder Malfoy looked dazed afterwards… I can't speak for the others but, I'm sure that Jax and Seth would've agreed with me since you guys were a couple before."

She scowled at him, but curled into his side, once more.

"Even if that's true… I can't help but, not hate either of them for what they did… despite our relationship with Jax and Seth. I'll always love them both and they know that and that's never going to change…"

Harry looked down watching her face expression deep in thought "Mione what exactly happen between you and Jax…" he asked in whisper tones.

"A lot of things that words were exchanged and …he just broke my heart…and for Seth… our breakup was mutual between us but, it still hurt that he couldn't tell me that he was alive years ago… or else we would've be in this horrid mess right now,"

He sat back again, dropping his arm around her. "I don't know if I feel better or worse, either."

Hermione nodded, smirking as she reiterated his words from the Ministry corridor yesterday. "At least the wedding night's going to be interesting."

"Any chance we can get away with locking Malfoy in the wardrobe?"

Giggling she murmured, "You read my mind." Though, even as she said that, there was a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach that things wouldn't play out quite that way.

"And what about Blaise, Jax and Seth?" she asked amuse by this.

"They can be locked in the wardrobe too," Harry shrugged causing her to laugh.

"Harry James Potter," she scolded him playfully.

"What? We both know you were thinking it too Mione,"

"Hardly,"

"So what now?" Harry asked looking at his ring which was red and green with a side of purple as he couldn't help but, look at the colors.

"I don't know… I was hoping you would know,"

"I got nothing,"

"Me either,"

"At least we know that there's defiantly sparks between us?" Harry mocked on Dru's words last night causing her to giggle.

"I should go," Hermione announced.

"But, you just got here?"

"Still… no time for the present Harry,"

Harry nodded at this "I'll walk you out?"

Hermione smiled as they headed to the front door but, before she could step outside Harry pushed her against the wall with another surprise kiss that sparks flew between them that it caused Hermione to wrap her legs around him. Harry made a grunt sound that you can hear sounds coming from the house. Harry lifted her up grabbing her butt that made her moan until Harry's lips moved to her neck drawing kisses that the two started to held hands as her arms was above her head.

"Harry…" she moaned.

"Hmm…" was all he can say.

"Harry…mmph…" she was cut off by Harry's lips as they started to kiss again that caused her in surprise that she couldn't help but, moan making out for a few minutes until he lets go of her and looked a bit satisfied yet he looked surprised by his sudden movements as they were breathing heavily.

"Wh-what was that for?"

Harry chuckled "I have no idea… I just…" he cupped her face gently staring at her "If I knew you were going to kiss like that I would've went out with you a long time ago," causing them to chuckle "Owl me when you get home safely okay,"

Hermione looked confuse but, soften her eyes at this gently touching his face as he closed his eyes with her gentle touch "Will do," she whispered as they both couldn't help but, stare at each other's lips and haven't moved their spots yet.

"Harry…"

"Hmmm…."

"Aren't you going to move so I can go home?"

Harry blinked his eyes and shook his head by putting her down as they both cleaned themselves up "Right sorry,"

"Don't be I'll see you later,"

"Yeah you will,"

Once Hermione cleaned herself up she paused giving Harry a goodnight kiss "Don't be stranger huh?" she says.

"I won't see you Mione,"

"See you Harry," Hermione kissed him quickly and apparated with a soft 'pop' heading home while Harry stood there that felt like hours with a goofy smile on his face and shook his head.

"Merlin what a kiss…" Harry mumbled touched his lips which in surprised was still tingling 'hmmm…' he couldn't help but, wondered if Dru was right but, shook his head over the six of them getting married with some sort of spark. In the other side of town Hermione was holding back a smile herself and sighed.

"Kretcher!" he called.

A soft 'pop' revealed a house elf "Master Harry called Kretcher?" he bowed.

"Yes can you make dinner I'm starving,"

Kretcher bowed "Of course master. What would you like?"

Harry rubbed his chin in though "A sandwich would be good. A ham sandwich please with some soup since it's a bit chilly inside with hot tea and can you add some crackers for that soup. I'll be in the office since I'm going to be working on some things," he answered.

"Of course master," Kretcher answered with a bow.

"Thank you Kretcher," Harry called.

Kretcher bowed as a soft 'pop' as he headed to the kitchen to make the meal while Harry headed to the Black library. He hasn't been in the library in a few weeks since this probably might be a good start to help with the marriage law.

Harry sat down on the chair where his cell phone went off. He saw it was Ron.

"Hello?"

"Hey mate it's me,"

"Oh hey Ron what's up?"

"Not much…. Listen I was wondering if you're busy tomorrow?"

"Nah no plans tomorrow I have a day off why?"

"Well I was thinking since I'm on break for a week from Quiddich I thought we can hang out like we used too and I thought we can bring Mione as well. It's been awhile since I last saw her,"

"Yeah that would be great. I just saw her not that long ago so I'm sure it's fine. You should let her know just to be sure,"

"Yeah I know…" Ron paused for a moment "So uh Ginny told me that she suggested to Hermione that you two will kiss if there's any spark between you two?"

Harry groaned; his ex-girlfriend news flies fast through the Weasley family.

"She did mention that once or twice today,"

"So…."

"Well aren't you going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"If there's any spark between you two. I mean come on don't leave me hanging,"

"Hanging…?" Harry furrowed his eyebrows "Have you been watching those American shows again?"

…." Maybe…"

Harry chuckled "If there's any sparks between Mione and I you'd be the first one to know,"

"And…."

"And… there's sparks…between us…" Harry paused "Ron … are you sure you're okay with this it's not like Mione and I have any say in this you know,"

"Why would I be upset over this. You know Mione and I broke up a long time ago,"

"True… but, I don't want any bad blood between us,"

"Trust me Harry Mione and I talked about this loads of times besides our break up was mutual so there's no bad blood between us,"

"Are you sure…?"

"I'm positive,"

"You don't feel awkward over this?"

"Not really I mean sure it might be for a while but, I'll always love Mione and she'll always love me. I think people expected us to be married with kids on our own but, as it turns out there's just no spark not like you two and that's saying a lot coming from me,"

"How come you never told me before?"

"How could I? We were preparing the war and … I guess we didn't have the time to think about it ya know,"

"And how did your mum take it?"

"Mum's mum you know how she is. She actually expected Gin and I to be married with you and Mione. Ginny and I even talked about this awhile back and told mum that our feelings for each other isn't what it used to be and she just have to live with it since Ginny's engaged with Dean Thomas and that other bloke,"

"You mean Theodore Nott?"

"Yeah him. Hey! How did you know that?"

"Mione told me. I told you we just saw each other today?"

"You never said that,"
