(I sadly remind myself once again on this day, that I don't own anything Lion King, Rick Riordan or J.K Rowling related. *Tears run down silently on face* NOW ALL HAIL QUEEN ROWLING)

Previously:Neville sent a minor earthquake towards the girls. Andrea, Aphrodite, Artemis, Demeter and Athena made their way over to the girls with their arms crossed as Hermes, Poseidon, Ares , Nick and Apollo stood by while Zeus, Hades and Hephaestus stood near the other side smirking at the ones standing off. All three knowing that it was the girls who were going to win.

Hermione stood at point, silently and wandlessly summoned her bow and lit the tip of her thumb on fire, like a lighter and raised an eyebrow at the males across from her, "Let's do this the easy way or hard way boys. Either you get set on fire and get your arse beaten or you can just admit defeat knowing that you never stood a chance."

Artemis and Andrea made their archery equipment appear along with a few daggers, Athena got her spear at the ready and Aegias shield on her arm, Luna got her staff out and twirling, Demeter got her earth element at the ready and Aphrodite simply got out a plastic blue hairbrush. (For those of you who read Rick Riordan: Yes I just went there *smirks*)

Hermes looked nervous as Neville taunted, "Try your best Little Bit, you got taken down just now, or did you forget about that."

At that moment is when chaos ensued.

The sides charged at each other, some doing war calls, while Zeus, Hades and Hephaestus just sat back and laughed at them. Luna and Athena engaged Ares and Poseidon, Harry went against Aphrodite, Hermes and Nick threw everything they had against Andrea and Artemis, Demeter smirked when her wheat forces took on Apollo and Neville and Hermione went against one another.

Debris flew everywhere, colored lights flew in all directions, it was as if in slow motion when Harry looked over at Hermione battling, laughing as she did. Her eyes practically glowed with laughter and her curly hair swirled around her, then it all clicked for him. The teasing done by everyone in the Trunk because they were so oblivious, the feelings he's had to kiss the Heir of Slytherin not knowing what the new feelings were in the first place, it all came together. He smirked to himself, no time like the present.

He ran as fast as he could to where Hermione was, dodging everything that came at him. He scooped up the brunette, threw her over his shoulder and ran out of the gym into the lounge, not even acknowledging the pounding on his back.

When he got there he locked and silenced the room, took Hermione off his shoulder and placed in front of him, risking his friendship as he put his hands on her hips and pulled her to him, leaning forward slowly, giving her time to back out.

Hermione's head went blank at the close proximity between her and Harry, she couldn't form a single thought at the sight of him leaning forward and just went with her feelings. She finished the small journey by tilting her head up and made their lips collide.

A shock went through the both of them, but it didn't stop them from continuing what had been coming for a long time. Their kiss grew loving, passionate, everything a first kiss between a couple should be. Her arms wrapped around his neck and his hands gripped her hips a bit possessively.

Finally they let themselves breath, resting their foreheads onto one another, panting slightly but smiles planted on their faces.

"Well….. that was….unexpected." Hermione joked slightly, but still in a daze from that mind blowing kiss.

He smirked, "Was it really? I mean… come on Mione. You had to have noticed the teasing the others did and I dare you to tell me that you don't have any feelings for me after all these years, including now or that small voice in your head telling you these things that aren't right for a best friend."

A blush graced her face as she bit her lip nervously, "I may possibly have feelings for you that have been bottled up." Harry gently pulled the lip from her teeth, it was drawing a bit too much attention and temptation from him. They were silent as they changed their positions slightly, Hermione's head on his chest and Harry's back to the door.

The Slytherin Heiress asked hesitantly, "What happens now?" Harry looked down at the girl in his arms, noticing it was a moment of vulnerability.

"I don't know, but what I would like to happen is that I get to spend an the rest of my life with you in my arms, protecting you from everything," At a look she gave him he quickly added, "Not that you need it, but I have this warm, fluttering feeling inside of me whenever I think of you or even near you, my only worry in this whole thing is that I could lose you." He looks down at her again with slightly confused eyes, "Mione, what's that feeling?"

Hermione blinked away the tears, giving him a smile that had his heart racing, "I feel the same way every time you come up in my life. That feeling?" She brushed her lips against his and said softly, "Love."

When the new couple walked back into the gym turned battle arena hand in hand, they noticed that the ones who participated were unconscious. Zeus, Hephaestus and Hades didn't do anything to change this as they were talking with James, Lily and Sirius.

Hermione sighed dramatically, "I had hoped the girls would beat the boys, and yet my hopes are dashed." Obviously still a bit stifled she got beaten.

Harry grinned, "Still having trouble over the fact I beat you?"

She developed a fake haughty look, "You didn't beat me, I simply let you win." His grin turned into a smirk and leaned his mouth close to her ear, letting his cool breath wash over her neck and his mouth gently grazes the shell of her ear, "Are sure about that Hermione?"

He watched with a sense of satisfaction as she shivered and goose bumps had risen on her neck. She stuttered out, losing her cool for once, "Y-yes," She shook herself out of it and muttered, "Prat" before walking over to the still conscious, Harry following behind with a slightly smug smirk that James zoned into immediately.

"Where were you two?" Prongs said suspiciously, yet mischievously as if he had a hunch about what happened. Lily, Sirius and the three gods turned to them, some with raised eyebrows and poorly concealed grins.

Hermione smirked in return, her Slytherin persona coming more into play. She turned around to start reviving, she called over her shoulder, "Wouldn't you like to know!"

Sirius and James groaned at not getting information from Hermione, not that they expected any less from her. So they turned to Harry with devious smirks on their face,

Sirius started, "Harry, pup,"

James continued, "Why don't you tell your father,"

"And your godfather,"

"Why you two came in,"

"Still conscious and had slightly mused clothes,"

"And your hair was messier than normal,"

They finished together, "So what went on."

All Harry could think to himself was, They just pulled a Weasley Twin move on me.

He grinned, "Why don't you tell me what happened. Since you obviously know what went on between me and Hermione."

Lily groaned, "Oh bloody hell, just tell them that you two snogged and are together now so they can stop trying to get gossip out of you like two school girls!"

Everyone that was conscious (Zeus, Hephaestus, Hades, Harry, Hermione, Andrea, Poseidon, Athena, Ares, Luna and Hermes) paused at the red head's outburst.

Andrea smirked, her hair turning blue, "Well, didn't see that one coming Lils."

Lily grinned, "I got tired of them beating around the bush for something that was obvious."

Hermione acted as though she didn't hear them, but a slight blush on her cheeks have her away as she continued waking the rest up. Neville groaned, "Five more minutes, Andrea. You sound like my Gran."

Andrea, who was already up at this time, walked over and none too gently kicked Neville in the side, "I sound like Augusta?!"

Hermione snickered as she woke up the last one, who happened to be Apollo. Before he could get a bearing on his surroundings, she kissed his forehead gently.

She got up hastily, nobody but Harry and Nick noticed that small interaction between the two. The golden eyed girl walked over to Harry's side and snuggled into his side as he planted a light kiss on her hair line. They both noticed that it was easy to transition from being best friends to a couple easily.

Aphrodite grinned, "I'm surprised this didn't need my help, as you two are so incredibly stubborn." To Harry she looked a lot like Hermione now, just older and her eyes were constantly changing colors. He looked down fondly at his fighter, I love her so much, he thought.

Lyall nudged his knee with his head, 'Yo, Boss Man. Stop being all lovey-dovey, I swear I'm going to upchuck that squirrel Winky brought me because of all the cuteness.'

The emerald eyed boy rolled his eyes at his familiar and tuned into the conversation everyone was having.

"… Pay up, everyone. I was right, now you pay the price." Hermes' smug voice filtered into his head.

Harry looked incredulously at the Messenger god, "You bet on us?"

Hephaestus nodded, his dark eyes sparkling amusedly, "Yes, just like we did with Luna and Neville. It brings us entertainment in the trunk."

Nala let out a large, scary yawn, showing all of her teeth, 'There's only so much we could do in here and Lyall. Never say yo, again.' Shaylee squawked in agreement as Arthur snorted, still lying down with his large paws covering his snout.

Luna rolled her eyes, "Now that we got our love lives out of the way can we get back to our anigamus classes?"

Hello again my fellow readers and bookworms,

I need to apologize profusely first of all before I go on rambling and making all sorts of things known. I've kept you lot waiting for months for this chapter that isn't very long. But I have a reason for this shortness: I know everyone wanted this chapter sooner so they could continue on with the adventures of the Heirs, so instead of prolonging this any further I wanted to give you guys this until I continue writing furiously for the next goings on of this story. Another thing is, I know if I made it any longer it wouldn't have been as good and I'd rather give you a short good chapter than a long bad chapter. So bear with me please and don't flame me too badly if you feel the urge to (which I really hope you don't).

Now with that out of the way let me tap the mic here... *in announcer's voice* THE MOMENT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING AND WANTING THIS HAS FINALLY HAPPENED! HARMONY HAS GOTTEN TOGETHER!

I hope you enjoyed the way they did get together cause this popped into my head as I was doing my homework for biology then BAM this happened!

Please review this or PM me about this or any ideas you have or want to happen. I will listen (read) to them and give them consideration, but I can't promise they will happen. For I will remind some people that this is my story and I will do as I see fit to it...even at times when it could be annoying and not all that good.

I love you all and I will forever be thankful that I have such amazing people reading and reviewing my story :)

Yours truly,

Little Dragon/GoldenKeeper
