AN:/ Yay I am able to get another chapter out tonight. Though it seemed like everything was against me. My word document just quit working so I had to recopy and past it into word and google docs, and I got word my great grandma is in the hospital. And, I just became stressed to the max. I do not own the rights to Harry Potter that is JK Rowling. Enjoy Chapter 7 of Destruction of time.

(Two weeks later)

James Potter continued:

I was so happy to be back on Hogwarts express I was going back to my Hermione today. I would be able to wake her up because I found out that she was my soulmate. Which I am not surprised because she means everything to me. As the train comes to a stop I hurry to the carriage and my friends join me. Instead of going to the main hall like we were supposed to we went to the hospital wing. Sirius was sitting there looking like he was freshly showered. I go over and hug him. I had sent him a patronus to let him know I had found a way to bring her back. He sent a patronus back, and he sound like he was crying, but I didnt bring it up he was not one to show emotion. "Thank you" he whispers. I look at him. "She is my baby sister my only sister my twin. Thank you for finding a way to bring her back to me" he says.

I nod and I show him the betrothal rings he looks at me in shock. "I want to be with her forever padfoot she is my soulmate my everything I am nothing without her. I know she cant accept but I was wondering if you and Regulus would stand in for her. She can change her mind later I just want everyone to know my intentions." I tell him. He looks over at Regulus who looks just as shocked but he nods and steps forward, Sirius reaches for the male bethroral ring and I stand on her left they stand at her right. I take her hand and slide the ring on her ring finger. "I James Charles Potter of the house of Potter take thee Hermione Lyra Black of the house of black to be my betrothed. Forsaking all others. So mote it be." I say kissing her hand slightly.

I wished I could do this with her I would make it up to her if she accepted then I would do it again for her. In fact the magic wouldnt come to be until it was her words and not that of her brothers. "We Sirius Orion Black and Regulus Arcturus Black of the house of Black stand in steed of Hermione Lyra Black and allow the James Charles Potter of the house of Potter until she awakens to forsake all others. And accept the betrothal so mote it be." they say together and slide the ring on my finger.

I slowly remove the mask from her face and run my fingers through her beautiful black curls. "I am so sorry my love that this happened to you I will do better at protecting you. You are my everything the air I breathe my reason for living my everything. I love you Hermione Lyra Black" I say leaning down to her lips stopping before touching them. "Come back to me my love" I whisper then kiss her gently.

As I pull back she begins to glow gold I start to freak out and reach out to her thinking it didnt work Remus pulls me back I fight against him. "James look at her vitals there are getting better" he says. I freeze and sure enough instead of close to death her vitals were increasing.

It was working she was coming back to me she was going to make it I saved her. I fell to the floor and grabbed her hand. "I will be waiting for you my love you can do it I love you so much you strong stubborn witch" I say kissing her hand repeatedly.

A few hours pass and Madame Pomprehey shews us out I had wanted to be there for when she wakes up. But, she was right what good would I be doing her if I wasnt taking care of myself. "How do you get all the smart ones Potter, Remus here I understand, but you are you looking to help where your lacking" Severus says myrth in his eyes.

I playfully punch him he dodges and takes off running I chase after him I finally felt relaxed though I still worried about my Hermione. We finally made it to the main hall and sat at our house tables. Severus thinks he safe over there with the snakes. Half way through dinner the hall got quiet I looked around and then my eyes fell on the most beautiful woman in the world wearing jeans, a baby blue tank top, and a white cardigan. My Hermione was awake. I dont know when I stood up but we faced each other looking into each other's eyes. I noticed her playing with her bethroral ring. "Hermione?" I whispered. Finally breaking the ice feeling like it was a dream.

My voice seemed to break her out of it two tears filled her eyes and she broke out into a run I had my arms opened when she was a few feet from me she launched herself at me. I held her close never wanting to let her go. EVER! I smelled her vanilla scent I kissed her cheeks the crown of her head every part of her I could reach without moving her. She was awake and she was in my arms she was safe. She raised her head and my hazel eyes met her silver and blue. "James" she cried softly. I kissed her with so much passion and love. That single symbol of my name coming from her lips was enough for me. She pulled away. "If you accept everything I have told you I accept you I accept your betrothal I agree to give us a chance" She says in a whisper.

My wise go wide and I spin her around and she giggles I look up into the eyes of the woman I love. "I love you Hermione Lyra Black forever and always" I say and kissing her again.

Soon her brother takes her from me and our friends come over from Slytherin and Gryffindor hugging her and letting her know they are so glad she is awake. And, then Charlie Weasley came over and she hugged him close and her shoulders shake. "Charlie Weasley your my hero if it wasnt for you I would be dead" she cried. Most of Hogwarts didnt know this and he was getting the recognition that he deserved. House of Potter and Black would be forever greatful for the heroics of Charlie Weasley.

Hermione's Point of View: (I know cliffy sorry)
I felt like I was stuck in Black lake and things kept dragging me down. Some of the time I just wanted to let them take me and be done with this life. But, then I would hear the voices of my father, my friends, and James. And, it would give me the strength to keep going. I could hear them I wanted to shout out to them I was still there but they couldnt hear me. I heard my brothers stand in my place of my bethrorthal I am forever grateful to them sad I couldnt be part of it. Then I seen a golden light close by I reached for it and I was back in my body I twitched my toes and my fingers. And, slowly open my eyes. Madame Pomphrey was standing above me. "Oh dearie your awake you gave us quite the scare you have been under the sleeping beauty curse for three months. James brought you back with a kiss" she informed me.

She did some diagnostic spells on me and said I was healthy. "Madame can I go to the main hall I want to see my friends and James" I plead with her. She looked like she was going to fight me. "I promise if I begin to feel any weakness I will come straight back here please" I plead with her. She nods and magically changes my clothes to a light blue tank top with white cardigan blue jeans and white trainers.

I stand and make sure I have my baring before I walk out of the hospital wing. I walk the hallway and I see many students and see them look looking at me in shock but I dont care I was on a mission. I play with my betrothal ring glad that wasnt a hallouction and makes me feel so much closer to James. I see the doors are open ha Dumbledore must be sick of people blasting them open. The entire hall goes quiet but my eyes are only on James. He looks over and our eyes lock so many emotions go through his eyes. He slowly stands. "Hermione?" he whispers and since the hall is quiet I could hear him.

I feel the tears well up in my eyes I break out into a run and when I am a few feet from him I jump into his open arms and he holds me close I curl into his chest and wrap my arms around his neck not wanting to be anywhere where I am. He begins to kiss anywhere he can reach. "James" I whispered. I look up into his eyes. "If you can accept everything that I told you I accept you I accept the bethrothal I agree to give us a chance." I tell him looking at his hazel eyes.

His eyes go wide and and spins me around and then sets me down "I love you Hermione Lyra Black forever and always" he proclaims and he kisses me with so much passion and love my toes curled.

As we pulled apart everyone came to give me hugs and tell me they are so glad I am back and how much they love me and never scare me like that again. Then I seen Charlie Weasley coming our way I hugged him close and start to cry if not for him I wouldnt be here today. "Charlie Weasley you are my hero if it wasnt for you I would be dead right now" I say to him through tears. And, then take out one of my hankies I never use them but I was told a pureblood always has one on hand and magically changed it to a dragon. "You are like this dragon you protect your family. You protectected someone in your house your hogwarts family" I tell him. "I will be forever grateful to you" I whisper handing him the dragon.

I dont know what got Charlie into dragons into the first place, bit I think I just helped him. I kissed his cheek and he blushed and looked at the dragon in amazing. His chest puffed out and I let out a giggle, "Thank you Ms. Black" he says.

I give him a smile and stand to my full height I am about two inches taller then him. "Hermione my friends call me Hermione" I say and then walk back over to James and he holds me close.

Soon we head back to the heads common and when we enter I see my father standing there Sirius or Regulus must have called him. I rush into his arms and hold him close. He leads me over to the couch and James sits on the other side of me. "I am so glad you are awake my star" he whispers. Then he looks at me with sad eyes. "But, I come with graving news Peter escaped" he whispers.

I go wide-eyed and look at James my head shaking in fear and James takes his hand in mine. "We will find him my love he will not hurt you again I swear it" he says anger coursing through him.

I nod and look over at Lily, "In my night stand is a piece of paper will you go get it for me?" she asks.

She quickly stands and extends her hand out and Remus places his hand in hers. I look at them in shock and Severus laughs. "Finally got the balls and asked her to be his girlfriend and asked her to the new years ball" he says.

Then Regulus took over, "Took him long enough I think Lily was about to take matters into her own hands and drag him into a broom closet." he laughs. Then looks over at me "Lately Hogwarts has been keeping a buddy system since your attack. And, the castle added a door to each common room if the buddys were in separate houses. No one felt safe and some threatened to go home" he says.

I nod it made sense then Lily came paper in hand. She handed it over and I thanked her. "This is the list of Hocrucxes that we need to find in the next six months and then through the power of friendship" I smile at Severus, Lily, and Remus "the power of family" I smile at my dad and brothers, "and the power of love" I look at James and smile at him he leans down and kisses my lips gently "the power he knows not we will be able to get rid of Voldemort once and for all."I say and hold up the paper, "Some will be harder to find since they might not be in the same spot Hocrux's 1. Locket- Regulus Black" I look over at him and he shakes his head. I nod and give him a small smile " 2. Diary- Lucius Malfoy 3. Didium- Room of Requirements 4, Cup- Bellatrix's vault 5. Snake- Voldemort 6. Ring- Gaunt House" they all looked deep in thought. "This isnt going to be easy but, I believe that we can do it." I say "Together"I whisper.

Everyone nods, "Together" everyone says

Soon it begins to get late my father left having work the next day and promised to keep us on the whereabouts of Peter. Made me promise to not go anywhere alone. I agreed and James told him he would keep me safe. Slowly everyone was going to there own common room I stood going to join them when James grabbed my hand and removed my ring. I looked at him my heart slowly breaking. He kisses me lightly and hands me the male ring. "The betrothal wont be law unless it is spoken by both parties. Is this something you still want Hermione?" he asks me.

I smile at him and slide the ring on his finger, "I Hermione Lyra Black of the house of Black take thee James Charles Potter of the house of Potter as my betrothed. Forsaking all others. So mote it be" I say and his ring glowed white and formed itself around his finger.

He grabbed my hand and looked me right in my eyes love being the dominate emotion, "I James Charles Potter of the house of Potter take thee Hermione Lyra Black of the house Black to be my betrothed. Forsaking all others. So mote it be." he says. It glowed white and formed around my finger like it was always supposed to be there. Then he wraps one arm around my waist and pulls me flush against him and the other on my cheek. Mine wrapped around his neck and we sealed our vow with a kiss. And, boy was that some kiss the room could be fire and we wouldnt know it. I felt the love the possessiveness the need in that single kiss, and I gave it as good as I got it. I wasnt in love with James Potter, but I was falling hard and fast. Soon we pulled away "Stay with me" he whispered. I look at him wide eyed. "We wont do anything I just want to hold you I am terrified that I am going to wake up and your going to be in that hospital still in a coma." he says.

I understand his fear and nod we say good night to the rest of our friends and we walk to James's room. "Do you have any pajamas I can borrow?" I ask him.

He hands me a box and he is blushing. "My mother sent this in case we decided to share a room wanted you to have pajamas" he says.

I kiss his cheek and go into his private bathroom now I understand his blush it was a short red teddy with gold trim it left nothing to the imagination. I threw it on and took a deep breath. I stepped out and I saw James's jaw drop. "Do you like it?" I asked feeling slightly selfconsious.

He didnt answer just stood in his black boxers and nothing else is made me want to drool quiditsh does a man good, and came over to me taking me in his arms and kissed me gently. "You are the most beautiful witch in the world and I am so lucky to call you mine." he says.

We walk over to the bed he leans against the headboard his arm open inviting me to cuddle into his naked chest. I want to take him up on his offer. But, I have to show him something first. I sit on the edge of the bed facing away from him. "Something happened in the future I wasnt always a pureblood I was raised as a muggleborn." I start he slides up and sits behind me. Wrapping his arms around me and legs on each side of me listening to me. "There was a war I had been tortured." He freezes. "I cover it up I want to show you, but I dont think I can do it I want you to do it." I whisper.

He pulls away and grabs his wand, "Tell me what to do my love" he whispered I lead his hand to my left arm and told him to tap three times and say reviolous. He did and slowly the word began to form in dark magic. Mudblood. "Who?" he asked.

I could feel the anger as he ran his hand along each letter and brought it up to kiss like his kiss could heal me like it brought me back to life. "Bellatrix in Malfoy manor" I whisper back.

He pulls me back and I cuddle to his side. "You are the strongest more beautiful witch in the world never forget that Hermione. I love you till my dying breath maybe even after" he says. I feel safe with James and look forward to the future we will create together. I curl close and he kept his word though I could feel his hard on my stomach he just held me. And that made me respect and love him even more. Too bad this love story would have a few bumps along the way. I was going to enjoy the here and now in James Potters arms where I felt safe and loved and seen my happily ever after with my soulmate my everything my Prongs. I slept peacefully no nightmares haunted me that night I only dreamed of James I hope I did the same for him feeling safe, loved and wanted. I feel asleep feeling these things with a smile on my face.

An:/ Yay Hermione is awake and her and James are together finally. And, she told him about the night in the manor which I found emoitional. But, sadly Peter escaped from the kiss using his rat form. When will Hermione admit she is falling in love with James Potter and the moon is starting to become full will Hermione let Remus know he knows his secret and what secret is she hiding from the group. Well she is an amigus of course lol. Let me know in the reviews what you think she should be I am thinking a doe to compliment James. I am thinking of making Lily a fox, and Severus a raven, and Regulus a panther. And, we all know not all relationships what bumps will James and Hermione face? Will they make it? So many questions! Hope you all have an amazing day and tell your friends. Draco Lover Forever 1994
