Hermione sat on the floor in her underwear watching quietly as Draco knelt nearby, putting the finishing touches to an intricate design of lines and swirls on the floor. From where she was sat she could see it was nearly finished, she could feel the powerful magic emanating from it and thrumming in the air. There were candles placed around the room and that combined with the smell of sage in the air had Hermione's whole body on alert.
"Are you sure this is going to work, Draco?" Hermione asked nervously, chewing on her bottom lip. Hearing the worry in her voice Draco stood and walked over, her eyes roamed his bare chest. The usual pale skin was covered in a variety of symbols, the same ones that were covering her own. Little ones, Large ones; some of them similar to the ones he had painted on the floor. Hermione was able to see what it was that he had painted clearly now. A pentagram.
"It's the only way we will be able to know if each other is safe during the final battle" He murmured softly, cupping her face in his hands. "It will link us, combine our magic so that we are stronger for it"
"I know, I'm just nervous " Hermione murmured.
Taking her hand Draco helped her up and pulled her towards the pentagram. With some gentle movements he removed her underwear and guided her until she was laying in the center of the pentagram, he removed what was left of his own clothes and lowered his body so that it was hovering over hers.
"I love you Hermione" he said, his grey eyes staring into her own with an intensity that made the rest of the world melt away.
