Sirius, Remus and Dory sat at the heads table watching as Hermione looked more withdrawn then she had in days. She put her hair up with her wand and just looked at her plate. Getting a few strawberries and some pineapple, lost in her thoughts. She was so quiet once she put her head down on the table, completely covering her face in her arms, she wasn't noticed by Harry or Ron who sat straight across from her. She just sat their unnoticed listening to their conversation.
"Ron this is killing me seeing her all the time, I cant stand being in her presence, its tearing me up inside, watching her bounce around with them all happy, It makes me feel sick to have it shoved in our face every 5 seconds" Harry said still not noticing Hermione. That is until she lifted her crying face to look straight at them. Ron who had a fork right at his mouth dropped it with a clatter. Hermione just looked at Harry heartbroken, his piercing green eyes looking at her in shock. Hermione went to say something but only a sob could come out. She put her hand over her mouth as she got up looking at them for one last heartbreaking second before she turned and ran towards the door. Running straight into George, Ginny and Draco as they were making their way in. George instantly tried to comfort her, but she just pushed him away and bolted out the front doors. Sirius was up in a second as he watched Draco turn away from his sister to look at Harry and Ron, his body shaking with rage. He knew that look, all those with the black blood got it, when they saw red, when they were so angry they could kill. Draco walked over to the Gryffindor table. His body shaking still.
"Get up, and get outside, because I am going to fucking kill you." Draco said his voice shaking with anger. When Harry made no effort to move Draco walked over and pulled him out of his chair. "You are so FUCKING STUPID. You know that! She loves you! she loves the both of you, and you are killing her." Draco said as he slammed Harry against the wall. Sirius was beside him, just watching, knowing it was better to let him vent then to try and intervene. "She never told you all these years she was adopted because she was afraid of what you would do, I told her not to worry that I was SURE you and the weasel were true friends, the kind that apart from blaise I never had, that you would stick by her, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Draco yelled in his face. Harry swallowed hard, draco looked ready to kill. "Even I thought you were better than that! Thought you would know first hand what its like to not know your real parents, what its like to have a good apple amongst all the bad like Sirius was with the blacks, or how no matter what your last name is, Weasley or Malfoy, that it doesn't affect who the person is!" Draco said. Harry went to say something. When he was cut of by Draco' s fist pounding into the wall beside his head, going into the stone itself. "NO! I think you've said quite enough potter! But if you ever do come to your senses, and I hope for your sake you do, she'll take you back, I know she will, but if you ever and I mean EVER hurt MY SISTER in anyway shape or form I will not hesitate to kill you. Got it?" Draco said taking his fist from the wall, glaring at Harry then at Sirius before storming off after his sister. Who he knew was next to the lake.
Harry just stood there for a few moments, before he shook himself off and looked at the wall beside his head where there was an amazingly huge chunk taken out of it from Draco's fist. He looked at Ron who just gulped and then at Sirius, who looked like Harry had never seen him before. Like he was torn between loyalty to Harry and what he really felt, disappointment. Harry had never had anyone to disappoint before, and considered himself lucky, with how bad disappointing Sirius was making him feel. Harry ran his hand through his hair before grabbing his bag and heading off, quickly followed by Ron. Sirius shook his head before walking up to the staff table to explain what was said.
Hermione ran down the stone steps towards the lake when she reached the tree beside it, she climbed up and sat In a nice little crook, she and the boys had found. She cried remembering how they used to sit out here for hours and hours joking and scheming. She had never been so happy in all her life as she had when she was with those boys. She was soon joined by Ginny who just put a comforting arm around her but thankfully said nothing. Just being there for her, Ginny really did know Hermione well. Hermione buried her head in her friends shoulder rapping her arms around her and cried like she had never cried in her whole life. She cried of a broken heart, only now realising how broken and empty she was without them. Ginny just held her, unable to stop herself from tearing at her friends pain, she was shattered. George looked up from the ground unable to say or do anything that would make it any better. A few moments later he saw Draco run down from the castle and fly up the tree like it had stairs. He looked at her, feeling her pain in himself, he stroked her head.
"Shh, im here now flash, come on, come on" He said pulling her to him in a warm embrace. She clutched to him like she was clutching to life itself.
"Perhaps you should take miss granger back to the castle." Came Dumbledore's voice a few moments later. Draco looked down and saw not only the headmaster, but Sirius, lupin and tonks. All looking very sympathetic. Draco motioned for Ginny to get down.
"hey flash, do you think you can get down?" Draco asked to which Hermione just continued to cry. "Ill take that as a no." He said lifting her up and making his way over to the edge of the tree, leaning her down so George could take her. But she had a vice like grip on him and wasn't letting go. "Hermione you have to let me go." Draco said softly. Making Dumbledore smile.
"If I let you go you'll leave me too." Hermione said softly but loud enough for everyone to hear. At which point Ginny burst into tears. George pulled her into a hug, but draco just stood up, in the centre of the tree.
"Hermione, I'll never leave you, and you'll never leave me, we cant! We wouldn't be able to live without each other." Draco said making Hermione cry into his chest once again. "Fine you want to do it that way then we'll do it that way." Draco said using one hand to take off his cloak and throw it onto the ground.
"What are you doing Draco?" Tonks asked.
"Maybe you shouldn't look" Draco said as he climbed up slightly higher, where there was no brush preventing the jump. "Are you ready?" Draco asked getting a nod into his chest he jumped. Getting cries from everyone except Dumbledore draco jumped off the bow and into the air. But everyone gasped as huge wings tore through draco's back and shirt and into the air, which he used to bring them down softly. He landed on one knee, in a shit load of pain since the wings had to break through the flesh of his back, which they were now retreating back into. The others watched as Draco cried out slghtly, in pain as the wings were retracted into his body and the wounds closing, leaving only two lines along the wings of his tattoo, but the rips and bloodstains remained on his shirt. He breathed for a moment before standing and turning around to face them. "We're going inside now." Draco said as he turned and walked off.
Sirius, Lupin, Tonks and Ginny all looked at each other before looking back at the Headmaster, who had a smile on his face.
"Oh I do love it when my best students show off their skills." Dumbledore said getting shocked looks.
"What the"
"how"
"You knew?"
"That has to be against the laws of magic."
"Whotcha?"
all came at the same time making Dumbledore chuckle. "It seems like those two have been using a bit of ancient magic." Dumbledore said knowingly. "Yes I knew from the time they did it at the end of their 5h year, but they haven't used them as of yet I don't believe. Very well done I must say." He added.
"WHAT? Well done? How can you just stand by and let those kids tamper in that kind of magic, and break the law?" Sirius asked getting raised eyebrows from Ginny and George and a laugh from Dumbledore. "What's so funny?" he added
"Well, um didn't you like tamper with that kind of magic and break the law with the others when you were in school snuffles?" Ginny said making Sirius blush.
"Snuffles?" Tonks asked before falling into remus with laughter. Remus held her up laughing slightly too. Getting a glare from Sirius.
"So what kind of magic are we talking about here albus?" Remus asked straightening up, arms still around tonks.
"Well it seems the pair have in sort become angelmagus'." Dumbledore said watching as the others faces turned to confusion. "You are an animagus, able to turn and take on all characteristics and powers of your select animal, tonks is a morphamagus, taking on the appearance and powers of whomever she changes into" he said getting nods of understanding. "And it seems that the malfoy twins are angelmagi, they can change or take on the characteristics and powers of the angels. Until now I have never seen an angelmagi before, none have existed for centuries, dating back to the ancients." Dumbledore said, getting wide eye's from the others. "It involves extremely strong magic, and a text which im sure would be still in the ancient dialect." Dumbledore added before turning and slowly heading back to the castle. "We must take care of them, because I expect big things from them in the future, very big things." He said as he continued to walk. Ginny and George looked at each other, before running off past the headmaster up to the castle. Leaving Sirius, Lupin and tonks standing their in amazement.
Ginny and George burst through the portrait, obviously not too long after draco, who had gone to the kitchen to get a drink for himself and Hermione, who was now seated on the lounge. George walked over and pulled her too him strongly. Hermione felt so warm and safe in his arms, but mostly she felt loved and cherished. She smelled his usual scent, which reminded her of the ocean, and pulled him closer to her.
"Hey flash maybe you should get some sleep, I know im bloody exhausted after everything." Draco said referring to his little flight. Hermione nodded but looked at him hesitantly.
"Hermione, im not going anywhere, look, Ginny's gonna guard me and make sure I don't leave my room, or else she'll bat bogey me again, ok?" Draco said getting a laugh and nod from Ginny. Before Hermione nodded. George stood first helping her up, always the gentleman, and leading her up to her room. As soon as he had closed the door Hermione was back in his arms.
"I just need to feel you close to me babe." Hermione said to George who smiled and lent down to give her a quick kiss. But Hermione put her arm behind his neck to deepen it, almost demanding entrance to his mouth as she kissed him hungrily like she was feeding of his very essence. She moaned into the kiss pushing him against the wall and running her hands up and under his shirt, across his skin. George groaned as she pushed her body closer to his, removing his cloak and undoing his belt. George wanted so badly to do this, but at the same time felt like he would be taking advantage of her fragile state. He pulled away grudgingly looking down into her confused eyes.
"Hermione, I cant, I don't want to take advantage of you when your so emotional. You might regret it and end up hating me." He said. Hermione looked at him seriously, now full of undying emotions flowing through her veins, she couldn't believe she hadn't recognised this sooner, but everything had just hit her like a tidal wave. She smiled reassuringly at him before, she leant right into his ear and kissed his favourite spot on his jawbone making him clench his jaw in frustration.
"You would not be taking advantage of me george, I wouldn't let you, and I would never hate you, I couldn't" she said pulling away to look in his eyes "cause im in love with you" Hermione said finally voicing her feelings, pulling him to her in a hug resting her head on his shoulder.
"What did you say?" George asked astounded, pulling her away from him, making her look into his eyes. Hermione's eyes were deep and shone with life as she looked at him intensely; George's stomach was doing flip flops at her revelation.
"I love you George" Hermione said with all the love she could muster, hoping that he knew how much she meant it. In mere seconds George had her pinned against the wall, this time it was he, who was kissing her hungrily, like he was milking the love out of her. His hands moved up her body lifting up her shirt as he did so, they broke the kiss long enough to get the t-shirt over her head before Hermione found herself once again in an intoxicating kiss. Her hands found the buttons to his shirt and it was off in a seconds, Hermione pushing him off her long enough to walk over to her bed and sit on it, motioning George over. George walked over, his heart beating in his chest so hard, he found it hard to breathe without her there; he kissed her warmly as they crawled back onto the bed without breaking the kiss. George soon had her skirt off and Hermione had George's pants at his ankles. George was kissing into Hermione's neck sweetly biting and sucking on a bit of her skin, making her moan his name. George liked the way that sounded. He lent over grabbing his wand and put a silencing and locking charm on the room, before turning around and being straddled by Hermione. She bent down and softly blew onto his skin at the rib of his boxers, running over his stomach and chest, coming to rest in a kiss on his favourite spot.
"I love you George." Hermione said feeling the need to express it again. George looked at her before pinning her down and looking deep into her eyes, still amazed that the woman of his dreams loved him! Wanted him!
"Say it again" he asked softly, running a finger down her soft cheek.
"I love you George, now and forever." Hermione said confidently and without hesitation looking into his eyes, which glistened slightly as a single tear fell from his eye and landed on her cheek. "Don't cry babe, if you don't feel the same I –" Hermione started but was silenced by a beautiful kiss. George pulled away and looked down at her again, swallowing deeply, never one to express emotions properly.
"I do" he said simply, looking down into her eyes that resembled pools of gold.
"Do what?" Hermione asked knowing what he meant, but wanting to hear the words.
"I love you Hermione." George said with everything he could muster. "so much more than words could ever describe." He said as he lent down and kissed her passionately. Running his hands up her sides, before Hermione pulled him down ontop of her, wanting his full weight against her, as they each attempted to somehow extract the love from each other. It wasn't long before the remaining garments were discarded and nothing stood between George and Hermione, as she moved her legs apart slightly signalling the go ahead, she bit her lip to stop from crying out, at the searing pain stemming from between her legs as George gently entered her. Hermione had to turn her head away, looking to the side as a tear left her eye, just trying to breathe and get the pain under control.
"Im sorry, I didn't mean to… are you alright?" George said worriedly as he looked down at his love. He knew that first times hurt, he understood that, and he tried to be gentle, but no matter how much he knew this he still couldn't stand to see her hurting. Hermione couldn't help but smile at his concern through her pain, as she turned to look up at him, another tear falling from her eye as she did.
"Im ok, its ok, ill be fine." She said softly touching his cheek, and massaging her thumb on his jaw. George turned his head to kiss her hand softly.
"You sure, we can stop if you want." He said looking back down on her. Hermione moved her hand from his cheek to behind his neck pulling him down to kiss her, tasting the salt from her tears. Hermione felt her need start to rise again, the pain still there but no where near what it was before, had eased with the few minutes pause.
"Show me how much you love me" Hermione whispered with their lips barely apart from each other. George obliged, kissing her hungrily as he gently started to move within her again. Hermione instantly felt the flaring of pain again, but managed to push it aside as she focused on George, his body, warmth, touch, words, sounds, smell, kisses, and his love…their love. Her love. "George" She cried in bliss as she wrapped her legs around his waist, the pleasure outweighing the pain. "I love you, I love you so much" she added as she arched her back slightly beneath him, making him smile knowing he was pleasing her, before groaning in pleasure as the waves of delight started to approach.
"ditto" he whispered as he lowered his head beside hers, softly biting her earlobe, before moving to her neck and making her moan as she started to tremble beneath him, George moaned her name as he peaked, her
shudders of delight sending him over the edge, as he collapsed on top of her, where they stayed, sweaty bodies intertwined, just holding each other, before George moved off her and performed the contraceptive charm and pain removal charm. He watched as she smiled at him gratefully, neither of them even thinking of using the pain removal charm in the heat of the moment. Before they lay down and cuddled, legs intertwined, George's head on her chest making her giggle, before they fell asleep with simple 'I love you's'.
George woke up as usual in the middle of the night, he felt for Hermione, but she wasn't there. He furrowed his brows as he looked up at the clock. 3.30 am. George stood, fished for his boxers putting them on before making his way to the door. As he opened it he could hear the soft music of a guitar and saw Hermione in her night dress sitting infront of the fire on the floor, playing on her guitar, before turning and writing on a piece of paper. George smiled as he made his way downstairs, Hermione must have finished what she was writing because she folded it up and put it in her journal, which she then magically closed. Turning back to just strumming on her guitar. George kissed her neck from behind, sending shivers through her body.
"Hey sexual clock active again?" Hermione said as she strummed a few more notes. George smiled kissing her ear.
"Maybe." He whispered taking the guitar from her and sitting infront of her, both with their sides to the fire, playing a few notes. Before playing a small tune that Hermione had never heard before.
Ginny awoke to the sound of music, getting out of bed, which woke draco, who started to protest when she shushed him and opened the door, letting the music flow in and then George's beautiful voice. Ginny sat down as her brother sang, quickly joined by Draco.
It's
been a long and winding journey My
dreams came true If
you, could see, what I see Standing
here before you My dreams
came true If
you, could see, what I see Brought me here
to be with you If you
could see what I see
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
Walking back into the light
To the
sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's
nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes
When I found you
I found you, my miracle
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you, can feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
Feels like I've been born again
Every breath
is your love
Every heartbeat speaks your name
Right here in front of you
My miracle
You're the answer to my prayers
If
you, could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It
would be clear
That angels brought me here
I'd be forever grateful oh forever faithful
My
dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle
You're the answer to my prayers
If you
could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would
be clear
That angels brought me here
Ginny made an 'oh isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen' face at draco, before turning back. Hermione must have been crying because they saw George wipe her cheeks and give her a kiss. Ginny smiled and stood waiting until Hermione took George by the hand to lead him back upstairs. Ginny walked out and started to walk down the stairs as they came up. She raised her eyebrows at how Hermione was practically dragging her brother up the stairs.
"Hermione's gonna get some" Ginny said in a sing song voice as she walked past them and into the kitchen. Ginny heard hermione's stutter.
"Wwhat? Ginny don't be silly?" Hermione said. Ginny walked back into view drinking her water with her hand on her hip and a raised eyebrow.
"As draco said to tonks, don't patronise my intelligence." Ginny said as she walked up the stairs.
"You just make sure you don't get any" George said knowing his sister knew already. Ginny turned around as she got to the door, draco coming up from behind her and putting his arms around her waist.
"And what prey tell dear brother, makes you think I already haven't." Ginny said as she shut the door. George stood their shocked out of his socks. His little sister, little Ginny, no way, no way, NO BLOODY WAY!"
"She hasn't." Hermione said seeing his thoughts. "No matter how gross it sounds, she would tell me, one of them would." Hermione said as she took a relieved George's hand and kissed him hungrily before she led him back up to her room for round 2.
