Harry opened the box to find 3 rings. 1 was silver, and Harry picked it up the ring thrummed in his hand. There was one word inscribed on the side PROTECTION . Another ring was emerald green that said LOYALTY and a dark red one that said LOVE. Harry closed the box and ran up to Ron's dorm room.

"Ron! Ron wake up!" Harry whispered trying not to wake anyone else.

"What…" Ron groaned.

"Come with me." Harry said and he led Ron back to the other Common Room.

"Harry what are we doing here at 4 in the morning?"

"I'll tell you in a sec. Let me go wake up 'Mione."

Harry left and came back a few minuets later with a grumpy looking Hermione.

"Harry I was having a really good dream" she whined.

"Look what my dad gave me." Harry said as he pulled out the box with the rings.

"What are those?" Hermione asked "And how did your dad give them to you?"

"Well he told me were to find them in a dream, and I followed his directions. So here they are, he really didn't give instructions. Just don't put your own on, and site with a pillow behind you."

Hermione immediately reached out for the red one, almost like it was calling to her.

"Let me put it on you Hermione." Harry said, "See what happens."

Harry grabbed the dark red ring and slowly slipped it on her finger.

"UHH…" Harry gasped as he fell to the floor. Memories were flooding through his mind, but not his. Hermione's.

"Look daddy! Look! I'm doing it!" A little 5-year-old Hermione cooed as she rode her 1st bike.

"Your such a loser Hermione." A blond 9-year-old girl yelled. "I can't wait till your parents send you away for good to that away school."

Then there she was in 1st year running from the troll, scared to death.

Then it changed again and Hermione was a pawn in the chest game, scared for Ron's life, and afraid of what Harry is getting himself into.

Next she was back at her house outside with that blond girl. She was saying mean things and Hermione slapped her across the face. There were no more memories with her in it.

Then there was the most horrible one Harry had to see. All the memories where Hermione loved her dad were shot down in one night. Hermione was about to go somewhere when her parents told her the truth, and her dad tried to rape her. That was the last memories before Harry opened his eyes.

"Harry!" Hermione yelled, "What happened? Are you ok?"

"Yeah. That was really weird. I received all of your memories. From your 1st birthday till the day Dumbledore saved you from your father."

"So let me get this strait." Ron started, "When someone puts the ring on you receive all of there memories?"

"It looks that way." Said Hermione trying to get the ring off. "And I can't take it off."

"I think we are all meant to were these."

"Well let me put a ring on you Harry." Said Hermione picking up the silver ring.

"No." Harry said grabbing it away. " I don't want you to see my memories."

"Harry I don't think it works that wa…" Hermione started, but Ron had already slipped the ring on Harry's finger, both boys falling to the floor.

Harry's memories flooded into Ron's mind, and same with Ron's memories. Every so often Ron's body would tremble, and Harry constantly had smiles on his face.

After about an hour of waiting, and Hermione almost falling asleep, both boys opened there eyes. Harry stared at Ron, and Ron stared at Harry. Then out of the blue Ron grabbed Harry into a huge bear hug.

"I'm so sorry Harry." Ron said patting his back. Then he turned to Hermione. "I received all your memories too. I'm really sorry for…well…that night."

"Ok well I guess the last ring is Ron's." Hermione said changing the subject and grabbing the last ring. "I'll out it on."

She slipped the ring on his finger and fell to the floor.

Hermione stayed out for the longest. Not openening her eyes until 2 hours later.

"Gees…It took you long enough." Joked Harry.

"Well I was too busy laughing at Ron's stupid memories and crying at yours. By the way Ron. I thought you hated me in 1st year. I didn't know you had a crush on me."

"Yeah well I was young and stupid."

"Hey!" Harry butted in. "That's my girlfriend your talking about!"

"Sorry."

"You better be."

"Lets go to breakfast." Said Harry "I'm hungry." He grabbed Hermione's hand and a strong wave of energy shot through their bodies.

"Did you feel that?" asked Harry.

"Yeah. Ron give me your hand." Said Hermione, "and grab Harry's with your other one."

Ron did what he was told, and a new stronger wave of energy shot through them. They opened their eyes to see each other glowing. Harry was silver, Hermione was red, and Ron was emerald green.

"Whoa." Said Hermione.

"You could say that again."

"Whoa."

"What does this mean?" wondered Harry. "Maybe we should go ask Dumbledore about this one."

"Yeah." Agreed Hermione, "but lets eat first."

Harry, Hermione, and Ron headed down to the Great Hall, and when they entered they couldn't believe their eyes. Each person had a different color surrounding them. Lavender and Ginny were glowing bright green. Most of the teachers were glowing silver, and Pavarti, Neville, and a few other Gryffindors were glowing red.

"D-do you all see that?"

"Yeah. And now I'm even more confused."

"Well after we eat we can go see Dumbledore."

"NO." said Ron, "Lets go now."

"Wow Ron is passing up breakfast?" Hermione said as they headed to Dumbledore's office. "I'm amazed."

"Yeah well I'll make up for it at lunch."

"There you 3 are!" Lupin yelled running towards them. "Come here! I need to talk to you!" He pulled them into an empty classroom.

"What is it Professor?" asked Harry "Because were kind of in a hurry."

"Where did you get the rings?" Lupin blurted out.

"What? How do you know about them?"

"Because Ron is wearing mine." Lupin said "and I can see everyone glowing."

"What do you know about them?" asked Ron.

"Well as I said, Ron is wearing mine, Harry is wearing Sirius', and Hermione is wearing James'. Did you all already receive each others memories?"

"Yeah."

"Ok. Well we wore them when we were in school. Sirius found them in Hogsmeed, and they are supposed to bond whoever where's them together."

"Why can't we take them off?"

"They can only come off when someone dies. I was home one night doing dishes when my ring slipped off. I ran to James' house, and I found his ring on the sidewalk, Sirius' in the ditch. I then took them to Hogwarts and hid them behind that brick, but how did you come across them?"

"I was dreaming about my dad and he told me where to find them." Said Harry.

"Oh."

"So what's all this glowing about?"

"When you 3 clasped hands everyone you care about and want to protect glows your color."

"Is that all the rings do?"

"Well I think so. That's all we were able to find out."

"Oh. Well lets go back down to breakfast and see if there is still time to eat." Said Ron.

"I knew you wouldn't last."

"Hey!"

As Ron and Hermione kept arguing Draco walked up, and bandage on his 'broken' nose.

"I'm gonna get you back for breaking my nose Granger." He spat.

"I'd like to see you try ferret."

Draco made a jump at her but Harry pushed him out of the way. "Don't you have anything better to do Malfoy? Like snog every Slytherin alive?"

'Just wait." He said as he walked off. "Just wait."
