Early the next day a delighted Hermione received answer from her parents that they would come and stay with her and Harry from the weekend on. Both teenagers were excited to show both of her parents as much as possible about magic.

Hermione was bouncing with excitement, also because she remembered what Harry had told her the day before.

"So, Harry, will you show me the Black library today then?" She asked with sparkling eyes.

A laughing Harry responded after finishing his cup of tea. "Hmm I don't know Hermione." He said with a very teasing voice. "But yes I guess you were a good girl, so I'll show you."

Hermione's head turned bright red at this comment, but she still had a big smile on her face. "Great! I'll go take a shower and then you can show me!"

Before Harry could even answer she darted out of the room and upstairs to grab a shower. Harry stayed in the kitchen and cleaned the breakfast table. After he put the last of the dishes away he also made his way upstairs to get dressed for the day.

Just when he opened the drawer in the bedroom to take out some clothes, Harry heard a weird noise coming from the bathroom that was next to this room. He turned his head and tried to listen for it but could only hear the water of Hermione's shower running. Shrugging his shoulders, he told himself he probably imagined it.

Meanwhile in the bathroom Hermione had made quite the embarrassing discovery. When Harry had called her a good girl earlier she did not only blush, but apparently had gotten turn on as well. She tentatively felt her panties that were on the floor and could see and feel a rather large wet spot.

After stepping under the hot water of the shower she could feel herself relax and started to think. She had to admit to herself that lately she had gotten turned on by Harry more and more often. She also noticed it usually happened when he was doing things like ordering the house or calling her names.

She knew it was wrong but while the warm water kept on running over her body she started to think about Harry. More and more sexual thoughts of him crept into her mind and almost every single one of them was about Harry dominating her in one way or another.

Without noticing she let her hands glide all over her body. When her left hand had reached in between her legs she had let out an involuntary moan.

Snapping out of her trance she opened her eyes. But after not hearing Harry in the bedroom next door or on the stairs she went back to what she started.

"I'm sure he's still downstairs." She thought to herself and ignoring how risky it was, she started masturbating letting little moans escape her mouth every now and then.

Harry in the bedroom next door hear the weird noise again and decided to investigate. Walking out of the bedroom on his toes he soon discovered where the sound was coming from.

However, it wasn't until he almost had his head against the door of the bathroom that he heard what the noise actually was. Blushing and a little embarrassed Harry seemed glued to the spot he was standing. Was that really Hermione moaning?

After he realized he probably stood there for way too long he quietly made his way downstairs, still red from blushing.

As he sat down on the couch in the living room he started thinking. Of course, it was normal for teenagers their age to masturbate and explore their sexual side, but here and now?

At the same time, he was trying to figure out what got Hermione so turned on, he realised he was focussing more and more on picturing his best friend. Images of a naked Hermione masturbating flashed through his mind.

Realizing what he was thinking Harry mentally slapped himself and shook his head.

"This is Hermione for god's sake." He muttered to himself.

But the more he thought about it, the more he also started to realize that Hermione was indeed a very attractive young witch. Comparing to their first year at Hogwarts, she really had developed a lot.

Again, shaking his head, Harry got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and distract himself. But deep down he felt something nagging at him and he knew what it was. He started developing a crush on Hermione.

Trying his best to pretend he didn't hear anything, Harry led a very relaxed looking Hermione to the library of the house. Sure, she was giving him a few curious looks as if noticing he was hiding something, but those looks were soon filled with excitement when the doors to library opened.

"Oh my god!" Hermione squeaked loudly. "I know this is one of the largest and most ancient libraries in the country besides the Hogwarts one, but this is astonishing!"

Harry grinned as Hermione took of and went to look at the hundreds of books in the room. Harry made his way to the very back of the room, where there was a little seating area to read.

Sitting back in one of the large armchairs in the room Harry started to think once more. What was his plan going to be for the next months and years?

He knew that having kind of split from Dumbledore there was a lot of things he needed to take care off. He reached for the small desk behind him, took out a piece of parchment and a quill and started to make a list of things to do.

For a few hours the only noise that could be heard in the library was the scratching of Harry's quill while he wrote and the turning of pages of Hermione reading. Both enjoyed the less stressful day, after having quite the tumultuous days behind them.

When she finished her chapter a rather curious Hermione made her way to Harry to see what he was working on.

"Hmm how high are the chances of that being homework for next schoolyear already?" The brunette asked and took a chair in front of Harry.

Looking up from his paper Harry grinned. "Come on Hermione, we both know that chance is zero… and they call you the brightest witch of our age?" He said teasingly.

"I was just making a list of things we need to do." Harry continued. "Sort of a guideline to follow you know?"

Hermione frowned for a second and nodded. "Can I see what you have so far?" she asked.

Harry handed his paper over and Hermione began to read out loud.

"Step one: figure out which order members support us. Step two: research on Voldemort. Step three: training in subjects like charms, DADA and potions. Step four: checking out Potter properties and assets – possible safe houses."

Hermione looked at her bestfriend and admitted that she was impressed. Harry really did seem in control of his life right now and it made her immensely happy.

"That's a very good list I would say Harry, we can definitely work with that." Hermione said and gave him a little smile.

Harry nodded. "Thanks 'Mione, I think it should help us a to make some good progress to battle both Voldemort and people trying to control me."

Putting the paper away, Harry and Hermione went to the kitchen for dinner. Upon entering Dobby and Kreacher immediately went to work. Harry didn't fail to notice that both house-elves worked way better together now.

After having enjoyed a simple, yet very tasty dinner from the two elves Harry went to the living room to relax a little, while Hermione told Harry she wanted to double check on a book in the library.

Unbeknownst to Harry however, Hermione specifically hadn't told him what book she was talking about.

Sitting in the middle of one of the aisles in the Black family library, Hermione was flicking through her book.

Earlier that day when she and Harry had explored the library a bit, she had come across this particular book. She had known the Black library had a lot of dark books in it, which would definitely help them in their fights to come, but she hadn't been prepared for this one.

That morning when they had been in the library she had been thinking about all her feelings towards Harry. She also remembered all the times she had gotten turned on when he was controlling or slightly more dominant. At this moment her eyes had found a book called "the art of Domination and submission" and her curiosity got the best of her.

Now she was flicking through the pages and her cheeks were bright red glowing from what she was reading. When she got to the chapter about submissiveness her attention peaked.

After reading some of the pages Hermione had to admit that she recognized herself in many of the things that were described. The getting turned on because of Harry's dominance and calling her pet names, the comfort of being physically close to him and the fantasies of them having sex together in a way where she was completely submissive.

After finishing the page, she had found out two interesting things. First, apparently there were lots of people who liked to be submissive in private and normal or in charge in public. This was important to Hermione because while she thought she might like to be sexually submissive at home she had no interest in being it in the outside world.

And secondly she found a potion called "The draught of status" that apparently after drinking would make the witch or wizard glow red if dominant or blue if submissive. Hermione liked the idea of this, because this would be a confirmation if her suspicions were right. She immediately knew she was going to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get this potion.

One thing Hermione realized though. Reading about being sexually submissive and having a Dominant/submissive relationship, was something that she craved more and more. She never even had sex with a guy before, yet the more she read, the more she wanted this.

Marking the page, she had read and shrinking the book so it would fit in the pocket of her jeans, Hermione went downstairs to relax together with Harry. One thing was sure though: tomorrow was going to be interesting.

Later that night the two teenagers found themselves laying in the same bed as previous nights and were both lost in their thoughts.

"Do you think your parents will mind us staying in the same bed?" Harry asked after a while, turning his face to Hermione.

He had been thinking about this for a little while already, ever since Hermione's parents had confirmed they would be coming in two days.

Hermione looked at him for a second, a little surprised by his question.

"Hmm, I think they'll understand that after we went through we want to be close to each other." She replied after a while.

Harry nodded. "Do you like being close to me 'Mione?" he asked, looking her straight in the eyes.

Hermione gulped and nodded her head. "Of course, I do Harry, I know it sounds weird but it does give some feeling of safety and it is just nice" She managed to get out, ignoring her blush she got because of Harry's question and him calling her by her nickname again.

"It is nice." Harry agreed and gave her a little smile. "I think it's time to go to sleep now." he added with a yawn and turned around.

Both teenagers wished each other a goodnight and turned on their sides, facing away from each other.

The next morning Harry woke up very early. On look at his watch confirmed it was barely 5 'O clock in the morning and despite him trying to get back to sleep it wouldn't work. With a sigh Harry just lay on his back and stared at the ceiling.

After a few minutes of lying there, he noticed Hermione had start to mumble in her sleep. He smiled and turned around, so he faced her. But when he faced her he quickly realized that her mumbling wasn't as innocent as he thought.

He watched with a surprised look on his face when he noticed that Hermione next to him was mumbling in her sleep while her right hand was roaming over her body.

"Uh Harry" he suddenly heard her say between her mumblings.

She clearly was still asleep, but he was sure he had heard her correctly. Harry's mouth was open.

For a second he felt guilty for watching her in her sleep, but when he saw her hands glide over her own breasts, down to what he assumed were her pyjama shorts under the sheets, he noticed his body was reacting.

With more willpower than he thought it would take, he turned around, so he faced away from Hermione. He tried to ignore the sounds behind him and the erection it had caused him.

Harry thought back to yesterday when he had heard her masturbate in the shower. Was Hermione really that turned on recently? And was he of all people the reason for her to be turned on?

One thing was for sure though: Harry did like the thought of that. He had to admit to himself, he was liking Hermione more and more and in a way that was much more than just friendship.
