Chapter 14.
Hermione quickly grabbed the steaming cauldron from in front of her and led Severus out of the room. She glanced down at her creased robes and with a wave of her hand they became beautiful Elvin ceremonial robes of aqua and ice. Looking sideways at her companion she discreetly waved her hand and he found himself dressed in the same style of robes of blue and crimson.
She saw him smirk silently.
"It makes a change from your usual robes Severus." Hermione said her voice sophisticated.
"Quite.I think that I needed the change actually." He said his voice equally smooth.
"I think that we should hurry and find my brother.He'll wear himself out working so hard the idiot!" Hermione said.
"Would that be a bad thing?" Severus asked.
Hermione scowled.
"Actually yes it would." She said her voice bubbling with power.
//Mione?// Harry's voice whined in her head.
"Speak of the devil himself." Severus said.
//What Harry?// Hermione asked sharply.
//Could you bring me some pepper-up potion from Snape's lab I feel really tired.// Harry asked.
//Merlin!// Hermione cursed.
//Yes?// Harry asked sarcastically.
//Shut up Harry and please stand still.// Hermione closed her eyes and began to focus her mind. Using her un-developed telepathy skills she focused on Harry. With a wave of her hand Harry's robes changed.
//WOAH!// Harry shouted.
//What don't tell me you haven't tried that yet?// Hermione asked.
//Yes I have but not at distance, using telepathy and producing healing robes.//It was Harry's turn to snap.
//Do you like the colour?// Hermione asked.
//No.// Came the short reply.
//Why not?// Hermione sounded offended.
//Because there GREEN and SILVER!// Harry shouted.
//It brings out your eyes dear.so stop shouting at me lord Phoenix or I will have to beat you.// Hermione threatened.
//Oh Potter she's going to BEAT you.// Snape said.
//Mione can you hurry up please. I don't fancy listening to that slimy git all day.// Harry said.
//Slimy git well at least I'm not you Mr Potter.// Snape spat back.
//Is that supposed to be funny?// Harry asked angrily.
//No it was an insult idiot child!// Snape argued.
Hermione and Severus had just reached the entrance hall.
//Will you too stop?// She asked.
//WELL HE STARTED IT!// They both yelled at the same time. Hermione's head shot up, her eyes looked as though they were glowing. A wave of her hand sent the potion she had previously been carrying to the floor. Stepping forward she moved both her hands sharply and the doors to the main hall crashed open. She strode in an aura of power flashing around her like an electric storm.
Everyone in the room except Harry bowed deeply.
"SNAPE! POTTER!" She yelled shaking the foundations of the castle.
Severus skated into the hall and Harry stepped forward.
Both bowing mockingly at her feet.
"WHAT IN MERLIN'S NAME DO YOU THINK YOU ARE PLAYING AT?" She screamed.
"Hermione do you know who you are talking to?" Ron's voice sounded through the hall quietly but boldly.
"Yes Ron I am talking to these two immature idiots who both think that they are above everyone else." She told him. Then turning back around sharply she said, "WELL NEITHER OF YOU ARE! FIRSTLY HARRY YOU DO NOT INHERIT ALL YOUR POWER UNTILL YOU ARE MARRIED AND SECONDLY SEVERUS YOU DO NOT INHERIT ALL OF YOURS UNTILL YOU ARE MARRIED. SO THERE GET DOWN OFF YOUR BLOODY HIGH BROOMSTICKS AND JUST REMEMBER UNTILL THOSE TWO DAYS I HOLD MORE POWER, MORE STATUS AND MORE AUTHORITRY THAN EITHER OF YOU. SO LET'S GET ONE THING STREIGHT IF I HEAR ANOTHER INSULT PASS BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU I'LL CURSE YOU INTO THE NEXT DECADE. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?" She yelled.
Instead of getting a reply Ron, Harry and Severus all burst out laughing.
Hermione's scowl deepened.
"It was the more power, more status and more authority that got me." Harry laughed.
"No no I liked the curse you into the next decade." Severus howled.
"No NO NO it was the 'get down off your high broomsticks.'" Ron laughed.
Everyone began to laugh. Hermione snarled and snapped her fingers. In a flash of light she was gone.
There was silence.
"Where did she go?" Ron asked frantic.
"I don't know." Severus said.
Harry looked up to the rafters. Waving his left hand he ascended slowly to the roof.
"That was not funny." Harry snapped at what looked to be thin air.
There was predictable no answer.
"Harry what are you doing?" Ron asked.
Harry did not answer.
"Come on don't be silly we were only joking." Harry said.
"There was again no answer.
//Lady phoenix stop acting like a two year old or I will have to do things my way.// Harry said through their connection.
"OOOOOHHHHHHH Severus?" Harry called.
"What?" Came the blunt reply.
"Would you like to come up here." Harry said at the same time as he moved his hand. Severus began to rise to the roof at a rapid pace. He got higher and higher and faster and faster there was no sign of him stopping.
Hermione suddenly appeared next to her brother. She snapped her fingers and Severus stopped in mid air.
"Harry!" She yelled.
"Ok I won't do that again now can you please help me, I need you to awaken your bond and give me the potion." Harry said.
"Yes but there are a few things we need to talk about first." Hermione said. Harry waved his hands and the three of them dropped to the ground slowly.
"Harry you do know that when our bond is cut yours will begin don't you? That means that unfortunately you will have another awakening to deal with. I will be in no condition and neither will Severus, Ron and Dumbledore can help you though. I must warn you that this may come as a great shock to both of you." Hermione said wisely.
"Do you know who it is Hermione?" Harry asked.
Hermione nodded.
"Well tell me then." Harry said.
"No Harry we have to get on with this." She said calmly.
Snape placed his hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Harry just remember it will be hard for the both of you and think about the second." Snape warned.
"Second what?" Harry asked.
"Prophesy." Snape said looking slightly shocked.
"What second prophesy?" Harry asked.
"Snape I hope your not telling my brother too much." Hermione shouted from the other side of the room where she was speaking in hushed tones with the headmaster.
"Miss Potter why would you think such a thing?" Severus asked.
"WHAT IS THIS ABOUT A PROPHESY HERMIONE?" Harry yelled fiercely.
Severus put his hands on his head.
Hermione tapped her foot on the floor her hand on her hip scowling.
"As our bond is released many connections will break. Harry your intended soul mate is a true seer and your powers will be strengthened. At the time of her awakening, which will be about ten minutes after the breaking of the bond she will speak a prophesy about the two of you, about your future. Just be carefull she could be anywhere in the castle." She warned.
"How do you know that she will be at Hogwarts?" Harry asked. "Oh yes because you already know who it is but won't tell me." He snapped.
Hermione sighed.
"Are you ready?" Asked Dumbedore.
The three of them nodded slowly.
Snape took Hermione's hand and Harry scowled.
"Do you want me to help?" Harry asked.
"Yes but don't use all your energy you will need it to control the awakening of a very talented and powerful witch." Hermione said. "Ginny can you help too I know you are strong." She continued.
Ginny nodded shyly and stepped up to the side of Harry. She was shaking slightly.
"Why Ginny?" Ron asked loudly.
"Because Ron firstly we need a girl to balance the incantation out, secondly Ginny's power levels are about as strong as mine at the moment and thirdly I trust Ginny with my life, Severus' life and Harry's life." Harmione then turned to face her brother. "Be careful Harry her levels of power exceed mine and Dumbledore's."
Harry's jaw dropped.
"Come on Potter let's get this over with." Severus said firmly.
"Yeah right.well you two join hands, Ginny take my hand.then Gin repeats after me and then you two do together." Harry's voice shook slightly. "Love you Hermione."
"Yeah I love you too Harry." She said smiling.
Hermione quickly grabbed the steaming cauldron from in front of her and led Severus out of the room.
