Chapter Eleven

Reasons, Pheromones and so much built up tension…

So many questions were racing through my head. What had happened? Why's he standing there unaffected by everyone's glare? I was frozen from the whole fact that I had forgotten to exhale and coughed brutally.

"You bloody bastard if you dare hurt Hermione I'll…" Ron advanced towards Fred cracking his knuckles as he did so.

"Hold on a second there Ronniekins." George had jumped up from his spot to take hold of his outrage little brother.

"Get off." Ron snarled trying to wrestle out of George grip.

"Can't do that little brother as injured as he looks, I'm sure that Fred can still beat the living daylights out of you." Ron stopped struggling to comprehend that fact. It looked as he would hate to be the one in the hospital so close to his own wedding day. Just then a shadow emerges to stand behind Fred. His worn out expression on his face was known by everyone here at the burrow. His robes were still outdated by his sweet smile was still the same.

"Professor Lupin!" Ginny and I exclaimed with this sudden surprise.

"Hello everyone." He moved to step in front of Fred. "Before you all jump to the wrong conclusion let us explain." Then there was a thud and Fred had fallen to the ground.

"He's in a lot of pain why are you lots just standing there staring." A female voice entered the already crowded room. Her pink hair was all anyone needed to recognize her. It was Tonks. Bill and George quickly took action and carried Fred to the bed, laying him right beside me.

"Did you need me to move?" I asked almost off the bed.

"Hermione you are not supposed to be up." Harry warned.

"Doctor's orders." Ginny added in wrapping her arms around Harry.

"Besides you can strangle him in this state after professor Lupin tells us what happened." Ron smirked.

"That's true." Katie agreed. I turned to see the blonde hair girl sitting in the armchair nodding her head. "Yes I'm here still." She laughed knowing that we had forgotten her existences until now.

"Oh by the way, Harry congratulations on making the Ireland team." Professor Lupin greeted him beaming like a father to his son.

"Thank you, professor." Harry replied all too happy to see a familiar face.

"We knew you had it in you." Tonks patted him on the shoulder.

"Dad and I always said that he would do something extraordinary with his life." Bill was now joining in the conversation. Playing quidditch was considered extraordinary. He defeated the dark lord. He survived and saved the world from disaster. Every witch and wizard should be down on their knees bowing to him. But playing quidditch was the real amazing thing? Men. I thought shaking my head. I looked over and remembered Fred was asleep now with his torn open collar shirt revealing his amazing well toned muscles and so many scratches visible on it. Ron had been right about the lipstick marks they were everywhere even on his now torn shirt. How dare he? I'll murder him right now while everyone is distracted. You bastard, how could you?

"How dare you?" I whispered looking down at his sleeping frame. "I should kill you for doing something like this to me." There was definitely venom in my voice. Why are you so upset? I asked myself. I turned my face back towards everyone and it seemed now that they were all around Harry and talking about his quidditch tryouts. Katie was gone from her seat and standing beside George listening attentively.

"Want me all for yourself do you?" The deep voice came at me. For someone in pain he was so quick. I didn't have time to blink before I found myself beneath him. "If you're angry be angry but never and I say never use empty threats like that." My heart was racing from this new predicament I got myself into. I felt my whole body blushing once again.

"There was no threat. You just imagined it." I replied all too nervous for my own liking. Why was nobody helping me here? Stupid Harry. He had braced his arms once again on both my side. And his nose touching mine, I could feel our combine body heat lingering just around us.

"Did you know that the law states once we are married I can do whatever I want with you?" He whispered in my ear sending shivers through out my whole body. I felted my face burning more warmly.

"There's no such law like that." I threw back at him trying to push him off of me. Was there? Now I was doubting myself.

"Oh but there is and I'm not talking about locking you in a closet or anything like that. Body wise I mean." He smirked at seeing the reaction on my face.

"You get your head out of the gutters right now Fred Weasley. You're injured and shouldn't even be awake." I pounded on his bruised chest so that he would release me.

"Can't deny that I want you and your luscious body." He winked drawing closer and I only had one chance to blink before his lips assaulted mine. The kiss was forceful and anything but soft. It was needy and all too hungry. Like a man that was lacking oxygen, yet in his case lacking food. Then it became very passionate but still very much needy. I could taste the lipstick that was on his lips and wanted to pull away. It was disgusting, and Fred out of all people. When he released our lips for air, I slapped him.

"Bastard." I growled making another attempt to push him off of me.

"Shouldn't jump to the wrong conclusion could get you in trouble." He was impossible to budge.

"YOU STUPID PRAT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GET OFF OF HER." I heard Ron yell.

"Going to make me?" Fred shot back turning his head slightly to a very furious Ron. It took Bill and George to get Ron out of the Room.

"I'D SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN IF I WERE YOU." Ron continued as he was pulled completely out of the room. Then with that Fred rolled off of me.

"Shower." He said as he walked out the door.

"What was that all about Hermione?" Katie asked.

"I woke him up." I answered.

"I thought that he was going to rape you or something, even with us in the room." Ginny said softly making a disgusted face at that thought.

"Oh dear." Professor Lupin spoke.

"What is it professor?" Harry asked.

"His pheromones and hers are in affect now so they'll be drawn to each other more and more. But the strange thing is that every male and female will be sensing their aura as well and they'll be irresistible." Professor Lupin said to Harry like it was an after thought.

"So Hermione that's what happened tonight, he was just trying to close the shop when he stepped outside and it must have been the wind sending out his pheromones and every female with in that area must have picked up on it and started hunting him down. As the result that's how we found him when he shot the order signal for help. That was your situation just now it was because it's finally awoke and it's unable to stop until there's a blood link between you two." Stupid blood link again.

"Professor what do you mean by every male and female? Like every male and female will be drawn to our aura? I asked.

"Yes, the only ones that it won't affect are family members other then that it'll be near impossible to go anywhere without being attacked." Ginny sighed in relief after hearing that family members were not affected.

"So professor is it only Hermione and Fred then?" Katie asked.

"For now, I see that none of you have argued enough for it to get so dangerous that you're forced to create a blood link. In Hermione and Fred's case it's actually different because their pheromones already collide so violently together that when they are able to get it under control their bond would be ten times more powerful. Professor Dumbledore wasn't playing when he found out that your souls were already connected." He finally turned to me.

"Our souls? How could Professor Dumbledore know?" I asked confused.

"That's the secret he took with him." Professor Lupin grinned reaching out his hand for Tonks who gladly took it.

"Molly and Arthur should be downstairs waiting for us." He walked closer to my bedside. "Good night Hermione. We'll see you in the morning."

"Professor, I don't want guys chasing after me." I stated looking up at him.

"Then your soul shouldn't have locked itself with a Weasley. Should it now?" He laughed.

"That was not my fault." I replied continuing to glare at him.

"So does that mean George, Ron, Charlie and Harry will all be drawn to Hermione, Professor?" Katie asked.

"Yes, and you Katie will be drawn to Fred, and there's Charlie's bride. If they are still not married that is." He turned to Ginny. "It would be gross for you, won't it my dear."

"I rather eat my own arm gross, professor." Ginny replied interlocking her hands with Harry.

"This pheromones thing is way creepy professor." Harry added in.

"Yes, and it's very rare to." Professor Lupin smiled.

"This should be fun to watch." Tonks laughed as they headed for the door.

"Wait professor I just have one more question. When Fred was standing there why didn't his aura affected me then?" Katie asked.

"After his attack, it worn off. It's only there so that they are able to release the tension. When they marked his body the need to have him was gone. But for Fred it's there still but it's only allowed to release itself with one person." Everyone turn to look at me. I was totally confused.

"I'll just go find George." Katie followed Tonks and Professor Lupin out the door.

"I'm tired." Harry yawned. "Good night Hermione." He kissed my forehead.

"He's mine so back off." Ginny joked hugging me before she left with Harry.

"Cowards." I murmured as they winked closing the door.

I had fallen asleep again after they left but woke in the middle of the night to see someone sitting in an armchair watching me.

"Fred?" I asked stretching and yawning.

"Do you know any other?" He shot back.

"Why are you sitting in the dark?" I questioned.

"Why don't you sleep naked?" He threw back at me.

"Because, I don't." I answered.

"Well I want to sit in the dark." I nodded not wanting to argue anymore and was about to fall back asleep when he spoke.

"You're beautiful in sleep, Granger."

"What's with you today? One minute you're insane the next you're weird." I sat up now.

"Yes, well I don't have a reason for my mood swing all I know is that you make me feel this way."

"Oh don't blame me for your problems buddy." I shook my head.

"Oh it's your problem when I'm the one who can't get you out of my head." What did he just say? He can't get me out of his head? But that's not right where's Angelina? "It's not normal to be working when all I want to do is come back here and rip your clothes off." He said it so bluntly and without embarrassment.

"Rip my clothes off?" It sounded dumb but I was so shock my brain wasn't functioning well. I must have looked like a tomato now from all the blushing. It was good that it was dark so he couldn't see.

"Our wedding is official next week." He changed the subject.

"WHAT?" I shrieked turning to look at him.

"I refuse to wait a month to have you." He answered so calmly.
