Andy had delivered on her promise to teach both her daughter and her mate how to communicate across distances without the use of owls that could get intercepted. Before she left the pair, she had produced a charmed pair of diaries. Andy had performed an ancient blood magic on the books and after Hermione and Tonks placed their bloodied hands on the books a bright light emanated from below where their joined hands met above the books. It had been explained that with this strong magic they could write around anyone and it would be spelled so that only those bonded to the pages could read it. Anyone attempting to read would just see a jumbled mess of nonsense.
Another form of communication was an even bigger surprise for the young wolf. The bookworm had expected some form of communication via paper, but knew in a pinch it would not be accessible. When Andy pulled out her wand and the same blade she had used to cut their palms she merely raised an eyebrow but gave her the trust she required for the spell.
Andy had made another cut on the mated pairs opposite hands and had them join bloody palms. She wove intricate patterns with her wand speaking in a combination of Gaelic, Latin, and some other ancient language she couldn't discern. A dark infinity symbol encircled both Nymphadora and Hermione's wrists, black smoke began burning their skin an almost black flame licked their skin and they both gritted their teeth at the burning sensation setting their skin on fire. Their grip tightened on each other, gold eyes boring deeply into deep blue ones. Tonks morphed into what Hermione had guessed was her true form. Purple hair, blue eyes, thin lips, an ample chest, feminine jaw line, and the softest hands she had ever clasped. They both let out a loud scream as the incantation finished. Panting and sweating heavily they had yet to drop their joined hands and heavy gaze.

Andy had the foresight to do this in the forbidden forest at an abandoned cave. As she spoke the final words, she slipped from the cave, casting strong wards and silencing spells. She conjured a comfy recliner, blanket, and pulled a book from her clutch, she knew she was in for a long wait while she kept a vigil over the pair.
She had sent an owl, prior to the spells, to the wolf's beta letting the tabby know Hermione wouldn't be back to Hogwarts until the next morning. The ancient spell bonded them deeper than she had briefly explained before performing the ritual. They would be drawn to each other to consummate thus cementing the bond and finishing the ritual.
This bond would allow the pair to write words with a single finger on the underside length of their forearms as their canvas. They would activate it by wrapping their right hand around their left wrist, right hands' thumb and middle finger joined over the black mark that was now wrapped around their wrist, and begin writing or receiving their message. The receiver would feel a buzzing on their mark notifying the only the wearer of the incoming message.

In the cave the pair lost all sense of anything but their eyes and clasped hands. They lunged forward becoming a tangled mess of limbs and lips giving into their driving desires. Hermione ripped Tonks's top and bra in one swoop, eyes alight when she saw her prize, a beautiful heaving chest proudly on display, blue eyes boring into gold ones. The metamorphmagus reached forward grabbing the young wolf's button up shirt and pulling it open, buttons flying every which direction, roughly pulling the fabric off strong shoulders. Kissing passionately while this was happening, she reached back and unclasped Hermione's bra and threw it behind her. They pressed their now naked breasts together to a series of moans at the delicious feeling. Clinging to their backs they continued snogging, neither was sure how they did it but soon they were naked and rolling on the blanket covered ground in the cave. Hermione eventually ending up on top, slammed her witch's wrists above her head with a low growl. Her other hand trailed lower and entered her soaking wet witch.
Their lips did not stop their assault and any moans were swallowed by a greedy mouth as Hermione pushed into her mate over and over again. Only when breathing became an issue did the wolf trail kisses down to her mating mark sucking deeply as she stroked her lover.
'More, 'minoe more!' Tonks called out and who was she to deny her mate anything.
Hermione leaned back while still connected and brought her hips into the action behind her hand thrusting harder and deeper into her witch.
A chorus of 'Oh god, oh god!' erupted
Pushing deeper and faster, until she pushed as deep as she could go and curled her fingers in a come hither motion before pulling back and repeating the action to a higher pitched scream of ecstasy. Tonks body went rigid at the scream and then limp, shuddering in whole body aftershocks while the wolf slowed her pace letting her witch slowly ride the euphoric post orgasmic explosion.
She reluctantly pulled out of her witch and licked her hand while staring at the older witch.
'That has to be the sexiest thing I have ever seen.' Tonks said smiling
'Mmm you taste so good gorgeous. I haven't even had a proper taste..'. Hermione was stopped right there from heading to where she most wanted to be.
'My turn wolfy'. Tonks wrapped one leg over the taller girl's hip and rolled her over now on top of her mate she began exploring that body she craved like nothing she had ever felt before.
Several minutes later had Hermione clutching the back of her mate screaming her release and a ridiculously bright shimmering light filled the cave for one brief moment. Their wrists finally cooled and the temperature in the cave dropped dramatically. The lone lantern was now the only source of light and if it weren't for the wolf's natural heat they would have felt a chill. The dark black markings on their wrists now dulled in color and was now the color of their skin, the only way they knew it was there was to touch it and feel the eternity symbols.
'Oi! What the bugger was that?'
'Huh I would say the second part of the spell your mother didn't tell us about luv.' The wolf said as she leaned up and kissed her mate passionately. 'Not that I'm complaining…'
'Mmm I guess you're right. Mmm do you think we should head back out there, I would bet mum is waiting for us.'
'You're probably right. I should send her a gift basket for her letting me shag her daughter.' Hermione felt a slap upside her head, and a chuckle, 'right, I deserved that.'
They got dressed, after they had to transfigured their clothes back to what they previously were, since most of them were by now scraps. A few scorgify and other cleaning spells and they walked out of the cave. What they found was a smiling Andromeda with her feet up, sky showing the light of the early morning, eating popcorn of all things like this was the most entertaining thing to see, waiting for the two to exit the cave.
'Done defiling my daughter already wolf?'
Hermione's eyes bugged out of her head and began coughing, blushing a deep burgundy. 'Uh..umm'
'Well that answers the question of whether the ritual was finished, although I am surprised you have any clothes left after that encounter'
'Umm we had to transfigure these back from the scraps.' Hermione mumbled as she scratched the back of her neck, and Tonks had the brightest smile Andromeda had ever seen.
'Oh suddenly so shy mate, you weren't that shy a few minutes ago when you were…'. A hurried hand covered Tonks's mouth nervously smiling at her in-law.
Andy was full on laughing now, 'oh we are going to have to keep you around little wolf.'
Hermione rolled her eyes and the three began a comfortable conversation on the way back to Hogwarts. Andromeda explained how the communication worked, the deeper nuances of the ritual and the Black family history surrounding the ancient family magics.
She had explained that she had communicated to Hermione's beta about the late arrival this morning and was not surprised to see the deputy Headmistress at the gates greeting them. Hermione hugged Andy and gave a deep thanks for what she had done for the pair. She the stepped over and passionately kissed her mate. They were stopped only by a magical water ballon dropped over their heads by a laughing Andromeda, they shook their heads clean and just to spite them drove deeper into another kiss, to the sounds of wolf whistles. Hermione gained much respect from the elder witch, this wolf had a spine and loved her daughter, it was clear as day.
Andy and Minerva had spoken briefly as the couple said their long goodbye and set up a tea time later in the week, as they were old friends and hadn't seen each other but at Order meetings and wanted to catch up.
'Come along Alpha, you don't want to miss breakfast do you?' At the question Hermione's traitorous stomach growled and she reluctantly pulled herself from her mate.
One last kiss and she walked with her beta back to reality. With the new communication availabilities she felt more secure in what the future held. She could still help Harry in the tasks she knew they would eventually face, but had a way to know her mate was safe. She could do this, now just to make sure her secret stayed safe…
