An excited but nervous feeling Hermione was walking in Diagon Alley. After having breakfast with Harry, she had excused herself to go to Diagon Alley to buy some books. In reality it was just an excuse to go there alone, knowing Harry would rather not accompany her to a book shop.

But Hermione wasn't looking for books this morning, she was looking for potions. One specific potion to be exact. The draught of status she had read about the day before.

Now one big question remained though, where could she buy this?

Knowing that she probably wouldn't find it in her usual shops in the main road at Diagon Alley, she quickly started to check out some little streets surrounding it.

While walking around Hermione's thoughts drifted back to this morning. When she had woken up Harry was already out of bed and downstairs. The biggest surprise though was that she had woken up with her hand in her panties cupping what was a very wet pussy.

Had she really masturbated in her sleep?

Somehow the thought of that didn't bother Hermione too much, she found it rather hot.

After what seemed hours Hermione finally stumbled across a store that she thought would maybe have the potion.

To her embarrassment it was a magical sex-shop called "Perfect Pleasure".

Opening the door and stepping inside, a blush immediately appeared on her face. She didn't know where to look. Everywhere around her were various sex toys, sexy outfits and stuff she didn't even know what it was.

Trying to focus she walked to the counter.

"Can I help you my dear?" The middle-aged woman behind the counter asked.

Hermione looked at her. The woman sure looked good for her age, but the loads of make-up and rather revealing outfit gave her a bit of a over-sexualized look. Perfectly fitting for the place.

"Ehm.. I-I was wondering if you could help me find a potion" Hermione stuttered a little.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself down and appear a little more confident.

"Well, are you looking for a specific one?" The woman asked.

Hermione nodded and tried to ignore the blood rushing to her face. "I was looking for the draught of status."

The woman looked up to meet her eyes and didn't say anything for a few moments.

Worrying she had come to the wrong place or even that the potion she asked for was illegal, Hermione started to become very nervous.

But after a few moments the woman nodded, gave her a little smile and disappeared in a room behind the counter.

Hermione let out a sigh of relief and saw the woman come back with a little vial in her hand.

"This is it" the woman said, placing the potion on the counter. "Use one vial and within seconds you become either red or blue glowing for a few moments. That should tell you what you want to know."

Hermione nodded, took the potion and gave the woman some gold for it. Just as she turned around to leave the woman spoke.

"If you found out if you are Dominant or submissive, you and your partner might want to come back here, we have lots of fun things you can use in the bedroom" she said, even giving a cheeky wink to Hermione.

Hermione didn't know how to answer that and just nodded before leaving the shop.

Back at Grimmauld Place, Harry was totally unaware of what Hermione was currently doing. He had waved her goodbye this morning when she said she wanted to go to Flourish and Blotts, not wanting to spend hours surrounded by books.

However, he too was doing some serious work. Currently he sat in the kitchen, bowed over a piece of parchment, creating a list. This list consisted the names of the people he would currently trust and he had to admit, it was a rather short list.

Looking at it he re-read what he had written down:

Trustworthy:

Hermione Granger (and parents)

Neville Longbottom

Luna Lovegood

Ginny Weasley

Remus Lupin

Tonks

Kingsley Shacklebolt

Other Weasleys?

Minerva McGonagall

Not Trustworthy

Albus Dumbledore

Ron Weasley

Molly Weasley

Mad-eye?

Harry sighed. It had taken him a few hours to make this list, doubting almost every name he put down. Sure, there were obvious names such as Hermione or Dumbledore, but there were also a lot of people he didn't know if he could trust them.

Hearing the front door open, he peeked out the kitchen door and saw Hermione come in. She came to him and gave him a little smile.

"No books?" Harry asked in a little surprised tone.

"Ehm I ehm no I just decided to read a little in the shop itself rather than buying a book" Hermione said quickly.

Harry raised an eyebrow. Why was Hermione so nervous about one question? Deciding to ignore it for now he just nodded his head.

"What are you working on?" Hermione said, taking the seat next to Harry.

Harry just gave the piece of parchment to her and showed her.

"Oh Harry!" Hermione said and put her hand on his arm. "Sorry I was not here to help you, it must have been hard to put names on a list like that."

Harry nodded. "Well, it certainly wasn't the most fun thing to do, but it had to be done. I'm not sure about everyone yet but at least this gives a good first overview."

"I agree it's the beginning of a new start" Hermione said, giving him a warm smile. "Also, I love how you put my parents on the list." She added in a teasing tone.

Harry chuckled. "Well doesn't hurt to make a good first impression" he said in a teasing tone.

Hermione just swatted his arm and let out a little laugh.

"Why don't you go freshen up and I'll make us some lunch?" Harry said, getting up from his chair. "I know the elves normally do that but oh well, I am sure they have enough work making a room ready for when your parents come tomorrow."

Hermione nodded. "Thank you Harry, that's very sweet of you" she said a little blushing. "I'll be upstairs, just shout when food is ready."

XXXXXXXX

Going upstairs Hermione went straight for the bathroom. Sitting on the closed toilet seat she took out the little vial of the potion she had bought.

"Should I do it now?" she asked herself.

Taking a deep breath, she decided that if she didn't do it now, she probably would never do it. She took the vial and with her hands trembling a bit she took the lid of.

Giving the clear, see-trough potion one last look she put the vial to her mouth and gulped the potion down.

For a few seconds nothing happened and Hermione became a little nervous. Was something wrong?

Two seconds later however she had to put her hands on her mouth to not make any screaming sound.

Her whole body, from head to toe was glowing a bright blue colour. Looking at her limbs she finally got confirmed what deep down she already knew.

When Harry had called her down for lunch she had to try hard not to have a little smile on her face constantly.

However, now that she knew she was really a submissive a few questions came to her mind. Firstly, she knew she had to do some extensive research into what exactly it meant to be submissive.

The biggest question though was how she was going to tell Harry, especially the fact that she wanted to be his submissive.

Sitting at the kitchen table she felt relieved though. Finally, all her doubts were gone, and she was sure she really was submissive. Or at least sexually submissive. To the outside world and everyone except Harry she would always stay the bossy little bookworm.

During lunch she had noticed something else too. Harry had kept on giving her weird looks every few seconds.

Could it be possible that he knew?

After lunch Hermione excused herself to go to the library again, while Harry remained downstairs to explore some rooms they hadn't been in yet.

In the Black library, Hermione immediately took out the book she had taken yesterday and enlarged it to the original size. She sat down in one of the chairs and quickly flipped the book open.

Looking at the index page she decided to start with the chapters that were called: Chapter 1: The basics of D/s and Chapter 4: What to know as Submissive.

Starting to read it all started to make sense to her. Apparently there were loads of people who were either Dominant or submissive but remained "normal" to the outside world.

She also read about all the different relationships Dominant and submissive could have. She understood that it would take a very high level of trust and clear rules and boundaries. However, she was confident her and Harry would be able to make it work.

Going to the fourth chapter, Hermione quickly started reading about all the different kinds of submissive there were. Once she read through it all she decided to re-read that part and see what kind of submissive she would like to be.

She quickly knew being a Brat or Pet would not be something she wanted. It was almost embarrassing to admit to herself, but she felt the relationship she wanted was one where Harry would be a Master and she a slave.

Being able to let him control her not only sexually but also outside of that. Letting him decide what to wear, how to act, what to do… It all turned her on so much.

With bright red cheeks Hermione realized what she just had discovered. She wanted to be a slave for Harry, even if it was when they were just alone.

Shifting the way she sat, she noticed she had become extremely wet while reading.

Just when she wanted to close her book and go to her room to freshen up there was a voice behind her.

"You like what you're reading there?" Harry's voice said.

After quickly turning around she saw him standing there. Relaxed as if nothing happened, hands in his pockets and this damn little smirk on his face.

"Harry! You scared me!" Hermione exclaimed, turning beet-red.

Harry chuckled. "Of course, you were, it seemed you were quite focussed."

Trying to be smooth Hermione tried to close the book behind her, but seeing Harry just smiling at her, she knew it didn't matter anymore.

"I just came up here to tell you I finally found the duel room of the house" Harry said. "but let's sit down and talk first, there is something I think we need to talk about."

To her surprise Hermione saw Harry get a little blush on his face too. She nodded and both sat down in the comfortable armchairs, in front of each other.

And that's when Harry started to talk. He confessed he had heard her masturbate in the shower, which made Hermione's jaw hit the floor. She thought she had been alone!

To her embarrassment that wasn't all.

"And ehm… yesterday morning when I woke up you were kind of touching yourself in your sleep" Harry said, a little blush on his face but way more relaxed than Hermione expected.

She didn't know what to say.

"I'm so sorry Harry! I don't know what came over me" Hermione quickly said.

Harry quirked an eyebrow. "I don't know 'Mione, I think you know exactly what came over you, judging by the book you are reading there."

A few moments there was silence between them. Hermione tried to look Harry in the eye, but his piercing green eyes made her blush even more and look at her knees.

"Well, I guess there is something I need to tell you too Harry" Hermione said softly after a while.

"I discovered that I am actually sexually submissive, despite being the contrary to the outside" She started. Harry in the meantime didn't say anything and just waited for her to continue.

"It started a while ago when I realized I had feelings for you and recently it became more and more clear to me. When you are direct or protective or command something, it really turns me on. So of course I decided to do some research and found a book here in the Black library. And even though I have no idea what it means yet I can confirm I am submissive, and I would like to be in a relationship with you."

After talking Hermione just stared at her shoes with a beet red head. She felt extremely embarrassed but also kind of relieved she had told Harry sooner than expected.

Harry thought for a few moments before saying anything.

"So, to summarize, you have feelings for me in a loving way and you discovered you are sexually submissive which you want to be with me?" He said after a few minutes of silence.

Hermione lifted her head and looked at him, before nodding her head.

Harry nodded to and looked at her for a while, as if to double check if she was sure. But despite seeing embarrassment and nervousness, Hermione seemed very sure.

"Alright 'Mione, I have to admit recently I have developed feelings for you to, so I would love to be together with you" Harry said and immediately saw Hermione's eyes lit up.

"But even though you being sexually submissive to me sounds quite appealing, I can't say yes to that yet until you find out exactly what you want from me in that way" Harry added.

He saw Hermione's smile fade for a second, but quickly she realized that was a good reason and nodded her head.

"I can understand that Harry, I myself still have to find out what exactly I expect from that sort of relationship" Hermione said. "I'll do some research and think about it and when I know I will let you know."

Harry smiled at her and shuffled a little closer to her. Softly he took her hands in his.

"Well 'Mione, then there is only one thing I want to say. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Hermione had a huge smile on her face and could only nod.

Before she knew what she was doing she leaned in and put her lips on Harry's. The latter quickly returned the kiss. After a second he felt Hermione's lips part a little bit and carefully he slipped his tongue in her mouth.

For a few moments the only sounds that could be heard were the smoothing sounds of the two teenagers kissing.

Finally ending the kiss, both of them just sat there, smiling at each other like idiots. The next days and weeks definitely would become interesting.
