Hermione was lay on her back swimming lazily in the pool as Katie was sat on the edge her feet dangling over into the water as she was reading. She looked over to the chaser and couldn't help admire her.

Before joining her she'd gone and changed into a barely there affair of a white string bikini, with two tiny triangles just about covering her nipples, held together by the thinnest of strings, Letting her gaze lower a moment to the tiny scrap of cloth between her legs.

Just how that was covering her the bookworm didn't know. She did know that from the back, apart from another of the worlds thinnest strings to hold the thing together, Katie's rear was completely exposed.

Flipping over onto her front, Hermione swam over before standing in front of her. Gently she drew her hands up the back of Katies calf muscles, until at the back of her knees. She drew her hands round to rest on top of them, locking her eyes with Katie's as she gently parted her legs.

Stepping in between them Hermione slowly drew her hand along the side of the luscious toned legs until she reached her hips.

Stepping close as her hands reached the side of Katies thong she she slid her hands round to cup Katie's bum, gently pulling her forwards as Kate set her book down as Hermione pulled her slowly down into the water, sliding off the side and into Hermione's arms.

Before long both bikini tops were removed, by some silent consent they left the bottoms on as once more they were locked in each other's arms, kissing with a passion as Katie cupped Hermiones buttocks while the smaller bookworm wrapped her legs about the chasers waist.

-o.O.O.o-

Breaking the kiss Katie gasped as she turned them to lean Hermione against the side of the pool before locking her teeth on Hermione's pulse point and suckling hard, she knew it would leave a mark but didn't care, she wanted the world to know this beautiful Gryffindor was hers, only one other person would be allowed to mark her this way and he would be here later.

As Hermione's breathing started coming out in faster gasps as she moaned Katie moved her kisses back round to Hermione's lips, before gently moving a hand up to caress her breast, feeling Hermione doing the same.

As the passion rose she picked Hermione up before going over to the steps and carrying her out and over to one of the loungers.

After setting her down she pushed the other one next to Hermione's before lying with her and pulling Hermione into her arms, both easing off the passion as they didn't want to rush into anything.

As they calmed she gently held Hermione close, not realising just when the bookworm fell asleep, only knowing when her breathing had evened out. Gazing down at the beauty in her arms, Katie decided to stay where she was lay, no sense in disturbing her.

-o.O.O.o-

It had been a long painful day for Harry, yet not once did he complain much to Shacklebolts surprise. All he'd done was grunt a couple of times where the pain lanced through one of the worse bones as they regrew to fix the breaks.

Fortunately the first place that completely healed was Harry's jaw. The moment the diagnostic spell Madam Pomfrey used revealed that she vanished the wiring of Harry's jaw so that it could heal properly.

No sooner did she say Harry was safe to talk and look about the room did Harry look towards the Auror with him and ask how Hermione and Katie were. Okay he'd heard from Tonks yesterday but Shacklebolt could tell he was worried and started telling him.

When he got to the point of the death Eaters attacking but hurriedly said everyone was okay afterwards. the power he felt and the way Harry's eyes flashed he wondered if he would be doing the wizarding world a favour by granting Harry 5 minutes alone in a room with the ones that had attacked.

Harry seemed to find it highly amusing that it was a muggle weapon that had brought Bellatrix LeStrange down. All this had been covered during the day but now, the pain had stopped and Madam Pomfrey had cleared Harry free to go.
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." Harry said quietly as Shacklebolt stood near him trying to offer some support as he was still very weak.

"Think nothing of it, now because I know what you're like I'm going to give Auror Shacklebolt your potions regime and the chest with the potions. I believe he will be putting these straight into the care of miss. Granger." She finished with a smile as Harry groaned.

"Shush. I know you. You don't like admitting you need help for anything. That extends to the need for potions. Miss Granger will see to it you take them." Madam Pomfrey said with her usual stern but kind tone.

"I guess." Harry replied in a resigned tone causing Shacklebolt to chuckle as he turned to the medi-witch.
"Is he really as bad as I used to be?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Madam Pomfrey only answered with one word.
"Worse."

"Okay I get it!" Harry said exasperatedly, "let's go." He hurried them along before Pomfrey held up a hand.
"Running out without your potions?" Shacklebolt chuckled again at the 'busted' expression Harry pulled.

-o.O.O.o-

Hermione was resting against something warm and slightly soft as she felt her hair being gently stroked. Blearily she opened her eyes to see she had her head on Katies completely exposed breast, erect nipple right near her mouth. Cheekily she flicked the tip of her tongue out to it.

"Hermione!" Katie gasped as she did this, nearly throwing the woman off as she jumped.

Sitting up on her arm as she looked to Katie she smiled as she leaned down to place a gentle, loving kiss on Katies lips before pulling away a bit.

"Hi" Hermione said with a smile as Katie had brought her hand up to cup Hermione's face.
"Hey." Katie whispered, brown eyes meeting blue. It was then Hermione realised something.
Her breasts were swinging free and they were outside, along with Katies own perfect orbs on display.

"Katie? why are we still topless?" She asked with a smirk as the chaser blushed.
"Well, you looked so peaceful snuggled next to me after you fell asleep, I didn't want to disturb you." Hermione chuckled.

It was then a thought passed over Hermione as she lay back down, head against Katie's shoulder.
"So. . .you just didn't want to wake me?" She tried to hide the fear of something else but her voice must have given her away as she felt Katie shift above her before a kiss was placed on the top of her head, the arm about her tightening it's grip momentarily.

"Hermione what is it?" Katies soft voice asked quietly.
"it - it's nothing." Hermione whispered. She felt Katie adjust how her arm held her, becoming a pillow before Katie slid from beneath her, lying her down and moving so she was leaning above her, forcing eye contact.

"Okay, look me in the eye and say that." Katie said kindly, Hermione did repeat the words but couldn't help let the doubts hit as her eyes started to well up.
"Okay," Katie said grabbing a tissue from the box that appeared on the table and gently wiping the tears away. "Now how about the truth. please?" Katie finished quietly.

Hermione could not ignore the loving gaze that was directed at her through those cobalt eyes.
"It, it's silly. I was trying to make a joke when you said about not disturbing my sleep.
I was going to say something along the lines of so you didn't want to stare." Closing her eyes a moment she took a shaky breath.

"But. . .as I was about to I realised, why would you want to stare at me, i'm nothing special, just available."

"Oh Hermione." Katie whispered, pulling her up into her arms. "you silly silly girl, of course I like to look at your body, you're beautiful you know." Hermione shook her head at this.
"Am not, just a bushy haired know-it-all bucktooth." she hadn't meant to say that out loud but she had, and the pain in the words twisted inside as she said this.

-o.O.O.o-

Katie didn't say anything at first, just let Hermione cry out her pain, these doubts were obviously formed before Hogwarts and if the tone was anything to go by, had been re-inforced with every holiday visit. She knew Harry had his own issues to deal with, but to hear Hermione talk, she wondered just what - or who had made her doubt herself like this.

"Hermione love, listen to me okay." Katie said as she pulled away to look in Hermione's deep dark chestnut eyes. I promise you this, I will never think that about you,I love you and think you are brilliant, beautiful and when the time is right, I can't think of anyone else I would rather be with to lose my cherry." Hermione's eyes widened as she heard this before Katie leaned down to give her a small kiss as she pulled back.

"I know you want Harry to be your first, but I want you to be mine." Katie said trying to put all she could in her words.
"I love you." Katie said once more as Hermione pulled the girl close when a fresh wave of tears fell.

-o.O.O.o-

Hermione was a loss as to what to think, the girl she loved, wanted her to be her first. She thought Hermione was beautiful? she'd said it before but each time Hermione had a little doubt, now however, when Katie had forced her to admit everything, when all barriers about her heart were dropped, she couldn't doubt it.

Finally she pulled back and looked to the Raven haired beauty above her.
"Thank you." Was all she'd said, but Katie seemed to understand what she couldn't. It was with a small smile she got up and pulled Hermione to her feet.

"I think we better go shower and get dressed, unless we want to greet Harry with these swinging free." Katie said with a chuckle, drawing a finger along the underside of one of Hermione's breasts.
Hermione had to close her eyes as she was unable to suppress a groan of desire.
Opening her eyes she saw the slight surprise in Katie's eyes at how fast her nipples had hardened.

"You don't realise just how sensitive mine are." Hermione said as she walked back to the house with Katie following.
"I have to use I mild numbing charm on my bra's." Hermione said as they made their way upstairs.

"Right." Katie said slightly huskily, and Hermione looked over her shoulder to see the lidded look she was giving her, while staring at Hermione's rear.
Hermione quickly looked to the clock and realised the had another hour before their parents were home.

Turning so she was facing Katie she said five words.
"Want to share a bath?" Katie's eyes snapped to hers and she saw the chaser swallow.
"I do, I really do, but if I did right now. . ." Hermione smiled a small smile and nodded as she stepped up to Katie, backing her against a wall before locking her lips with her, pressing her body against her as she gave her right buttock and left breast a caress, only breaking the duelling of their tongues when the need for air became desperate.

"Something for you to think about while you get clean. As she stepped away and into her room while Katie groaned. "You're evil" Hermione smiled as she closed the door. "I know."

Turning with a small cheeky smile on her face she went to the bathroom and spent a good half an hour in the bath cleaning herself up before getting out and laying a set of clothes ready to get dressed into as she sat in the chair with her book.

She knew Katie would be a while yet. it was as she was reading she remembered they'd left their bikini tops in the pool. Swearing she got up and went to her bedroom window overlooking the pool and opened it, summoning the garments. That would have been embarrassing to explain to their parents she thought.

closing the window she curled back up on her chair after depositing the tops in the basket provided by Winky.

Getting lost in her reading she jumped when her door was knocked and Jeremy's voice came through.
"Hermione, are you decent." Rolling her eyes she chuckled, she was nude that was all.
Quickly summoning a robe she called back through. "Just a moment!" While she pulled the robe on and belted it closed.

"Okay!" Jeremy opened the door as she had curled up in her chair again and waved to the other chair in the room as he came in and sat down.

"Hermione, I've just come from the station and thought you would like to know we're charging Lucius and Bella with enough to put them away for fifty years, and Draco will spend two years in a juvenile detention centre before another ten in a maximum security wing. Now all we need to do is convince the jury they deserve it.

"Well if you could get a judge, lawyers and jury of squibs and hold it in a closed court due to 'public safety' you can use wizarding evidence as well as what happened here.
Jeremy sat opposite her had dropped his jaw as she spoke.
"Damn, why didn't I think of that?" He said quietly.
"Because you're a man?" Katie's voice chuckled from the doorway as Jeremy looked round from the chair to answer her.

She was stood there in a short skirt, with thigh high socks on, that had individual toes, a tight black tank top and her hair falling free. If Hermione guessed right she had also applied a tiny amount of make-up and what looked like lip-gloss.

"Oi! I'm not that bad young lady, carry on that you're still not to old for me to take across my knee."
"Sorry dad, but the only knee I'm going to be sitting on is either this one's" She sauntered over and dropped into Hermione's lap. "or Harry's"

Jeremy shook his head at this as he groaned.
"I so didn't need to hear that." as he stood up. "Right Harry will be coming at quarter past, maybe half past five, dinner will be at six." Jeremy said on his way out grabbing the door.

"If you do anything in here, for gods sake use silencing charms." He finished as he closed the door chuckling at the expressions on Hermione's and Katie's face.

Katie suddenly got a smirk on her face as she dropped her lips to the lovebite she'd given Hermione earlier and bit down suckling at the spot again as she slipped her hand inside Hermione's robe to cup her breast, flicking the rapidly hardened peak with her thumb.

Breaking away and pulling her hand free she looked to Hermione's slightly glazed gaze as she leaned forward to whisper.
"Harry will arrive soon and you can't do anything about the state you're in before hand. This my dear, is payback." With that she got up and headed out ignoring the growl coming from Hermione until she was at the door. Looking over her shoulder she winked before stepping out.

Hermione was busy gathering her scattered wits and shook her head as she got out the chair and gathered her clothes to get dressed as she mumbled.
"And she calls me evil"

-o.O.O.o-

Quarter past five arrived and found everyone sat in the living room, Hermione's parents had arrived early as their clinic had gone faster than they expected, and now they were all waiting for Harry.

The distinctive pop of apparition was heard from out the front door before they heard Auror shacklebolt calling out his identity to the armed police.
A short time longer and the front door was opened to let Shacklebolt in supporting a thin looking Harry and holding a chest under his other arm.

Hermione shot forwards with Katie grabbing Harry and guiding him to the couch before they sat either side of him, both taking a hand each.
"Miss Granger?" Shacklebolt asked as he looked to Hermione.

"Yes?" Shacklebolt smiled as he held the little chest out. "This contains Harry's potions. Madam Pomfrey said to let you know to make sure he takes them." Hermione took the chest and set it on the side table by the couch as she nodded. "Don't worry, if I have trouble I'm sure I can get Katie to help." She said with a smile as Katie just nodded.

Katie smiled as Harry looked between them when Hermione took his hand again. Harry's next question though derailed any good thoughts as he spoke.
"I don't care. I'm out the hospital now, I don't need those potions." Katie heard this and was about to tell him no dice when Hermione beat her to it.

"Harry James Potter! If you think I am going to sit here and let you do more damage to yourself think again! I just damn near lost you and I . . . I am . . ." Katie saw Hermione's eyes welling up as she spoke. "I am not going . . .to let you die just because you wont take potions!" She finished, collapsing on to Harry.

Harry immediately wrapped his arms about the bookworm as he looked around, surprised that all the adults were nodding along with Hermione.
"Hermione, talk to me. come on, they're just nutrient potions. I'll be fine without them anyway - the good they do in a week I'll get done just by eating right I promise."

Katie shook her head at this, before she held her hand up to the others in the room to give her time to speak.
"Harry. Where are you going in a week?" Harry shrugged his shoulders. "Back to St. Mungo's" He said as Hermione's arms tightened about him.

"And what are they going to do when you go back?" Katie asked him, her blue eyes meeting his emerald. "Er, they're just gonna regrow the damaged stuff." He said quietly.
Katie shook her head. "Harry, when they do that, you need the energy that these nutrient potions will provide just to damn survive." She saw Harry's wince at this and felt the colour drain from her face.

"You. . .you . . .don't inte. . .WHAT! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU WOULD RATHER DIE!?" Katie screamed at him. "WHY?!" By now Hermione had pulled away from Harry as well looking at him horrified.

"What the hell have I got to live for now huh? I've got Voldemort on my case wanting to kill me every bloody day! Every time he tries people I care about get hurt! An if I'm dead he'll stop coming for me before he get's those I LOVE!" Harry virtually screamed the last word out as he collapsed against the couch, the whole room having gone quiet at his outburst.

"oh Harry," Hermione said quietly as she turned to face him. "He would be going after Katie and me anyway, we're both Muggleborn and we're the top two in our year. He'd go for us simply for proving the pureblood theory wrong." Katie slowly drew Harry into her arms as Hermione moved to take his hand in hers again.

"If you think we'd be safer with you gone…" Hermione started, yet was unable to continue as the emotions got the better of her.
Katie looked around to see the adults had left the room to give them some privacy so she leaned forwards a little so her lips were near his ear as she spoke quietly.
"Neither me nor Hermione are letting you go without a fight." She said, just loud enough to be heard by Hermione as well.

Hermione looked up to Harry's face and Katie could see the determination in her eyes that had darkened to a deep amber with suppressed emotions.
""Harry, both me and Katie red your notebook." Hermione said as she leaned closed while Katie braced herself behind him before she picked up where Hermione left off.
"We both realised what you were saying, and you have got something to live for. Two somethings."

By now Hermione had moved close enough to rest her hands on top of Harry's on his lap as Hermione finished.
"You've got us." The bookworm said quietly, in a voice filled with emotion, before she leaned forwards and placed a gentle, love filled kiss on Harry's lips - Katie smiled as she saw him return it.

When their kiss broke, katie leaned forwards over Harry's shoulder, lifting her hand to slowly turning his head before leaning down slightly to catch his lips with her own, as her cerulean eyes closed she felt her heart race as once again Harry returned the kiss before they parted.

"Now Harry," Hermione said, "will you please, please take those potions." Harry just nodded not expecting when Hermione collapsed against him as if it weren't for Katie being braced against the armrest of the couch they would have fallen. Katie felt her own sense of relief was through her body as Hermione's own shaking shoulders gave testament to how she felt as Harry's arms wrapped about her.

"I'm sorry. To the both of you." Harry said quietly. Katie nodded bending her head to place a small kiss on his cheek before she heard their parents walk in and settle on the couch opposite.

"Sorted?" Jeremy asked looking at his daughter. Katie smiled and nodded. "Yes, both the potions and well…" She looked to the two who were wrapped about each other even as she had Harry leaning against her.

"Good." Jeremy said before he looked straight to Harry.
"I've only got one rule in this house, I don't care if it's a condom, contraceptive charm, or potion, no grandkids until you're out of school at least." Harry flushed bright red at these words as the Grangers just nodded.

"Huh?" Hermione said looking to her parents before they answered her, making Katie blush. Dan chuckled as Emma explained.
"Hermione dear, you're sixteen nearly seventeen, old enough to make your own choices. Dan and I swore years ago we wouldn't be unreasonable parents if the boy you brought home was reasonable. Personally I think you've struck it lucky."

Hermione tried to hide her blush in Harry's chest ut was unsuccessful, just as Harry finally spoke up. "I thought fathers were supposed to warn the boyfriends away?" He asked obviously confused.

"Harry." Dan spoke up to get his attention. "I've read that notebook, and been hearing about you since Hermione first went to Hogwarts. What's more if you hadn't ended up in hospital you've got it written that you'd have found a way to help Hermione with the potions in her system."

Sighing Dan ran his hand through his hair.

"You were going to make sure she was free of any thing taking away her free will. Finally, you accept her for who she is, and are willing to work with her and Katie in a relationship. No, I'm not going to chase you away. Just don't hurt my little girl and we'll be fine."

Harry nodded as he spoke.
"If I did, to either of them, well there's nothing you could do that would make me feel worse." He finished. Katie felt the smile on her face as he finished, seeing the same on Hermione she knew, it would be different, but they would be happy.

-o.O.O.o-

Hermione sat up and started to read the potions regimen and nodded.
"Dobby." She called out, a moment later Dobby appeared stood next to her. "Dobby, can you prepare a cheese omelette and add this potion," She said reaching into the potions chest and pulling a purple potion out.. into the mix for Harry please?" Dobby nodded his ears flapping so hard Hermione thought they might drop off before he took the phial and disappeared.

Smiling she got up and brushed her hands down her short skirt before turning and holding out her hands to pull Harry up. Smiling he took them as he stood before Hermione led him to the kitchen, Katie following as they left their parents in the living room.

Stood in the backyard was Tonks, she was going around waving her wand casting some detection wards from the movements if Hermione guessed right as Harry took a seat at the table, Katie sitting next to him as Hermione dropped herself onto Katie's lap, smiling when she felt the chaser's arms about her.

Harry looked at them and chuckled. "I think that there will be quite a few shocks in september when we return to Hogwarts." He said smiling as Hermione snuggled into Katie.
"Yep." Katie said with a smile as an omelette appeared in front of Harry who set to eating it with relish.

As he did so Hermione spotted Dobby in the corner of her eye cleaning the things he'd used to cook and it jogged her memory.
"Harry, you know I asked you not to 'enslave' any elves?" She said quietly causing Harry to look up to her with a nod.

"Well I've since learned that they need the bond Harry. I don't mean need like you need decent clothes, but need as in need water to live." Harry carefully set the silverware down as she spoke and nodded.
"Go on." He said quietly, already thinking he knew where this was headed.
"We both know a certain elf that would love being bonded to you, and I was hoping…"

Harry smiled before he nodded. "As soon as I've finished eating.
Hermione smiled a small smile, she was still upset that she'd refused to research into why elves were bonded in the first place. She felt Katie's arms as they tightened about her a little as she leaned her head against Katie's shoulder, watching the boy she loved eating his food. Silently she swore that she would be there for him, him and Katie both. On impulse she lifted her head a little to place a small kiss on Katie's cheek before resting her head again.

As Harry finished and pushed his plate away, taking a swig of the orange juice that just appeared next to him, he called Dobby over.
"Harry Potter sir?" Harry smiled at him. "Dobby, a certain birdie told me you would like to be my elf. would you like this?" Harry asked as Dobby's eyes widened to even bigger proportions and his mouth dropped open.

"Yesharrypottersir! Dobby will bes the bestest elf ever!" Harry shook his head. "You don't have to promise that Dobby, now how do I go about bonding you?" Dobby grabbed Harry's hand as he spoke.
"You's just say's I accept Dobby as My Elf."Dobby said bouncing on his feet as he kept hold of Harry's hand while Harry did this. The small glow of magic over their hands confirmed the bond before Dobby burst into joyous tears as he popped away.

Hermione shook her head a little as she realised something, in trying to force elves to be free, she had been taking that free will from them. Sighing she knew it would be a while before she fully accepted it, but she would no longer go about trying to free them anymore.

After a while she started to feel a bit stifled and leaned up to Katie's ear to whisper.
"I'm going to rest in my room for a bit. Katie nodded as she let her go after giving her a small kiss.
As she stood Hermione leaned forwards to place a lingering kiss on Harry's lips as well before she made her way upstairs.

Entering her room she closed the door and stripped off her clothes and put them in the hamper that Winky had left for her before she picked up the book she was currently reading. Something else most the girls in gryffindor would be shocked to see her reading, it was one of the more… erotic pieces of literature that she owned.

As she read the story her mind wandered as she contemplated everything that had happened over the years. She thought back to the letter from the twins and once more started to analyse the past.
Setting her book down with a sigh she summoned a pad and pen before she started writing things she knew, and then conjecture from those things until she came to a horrifying conclusion. They had all been tests.

Not thinking she opened the door to her room and called for Harry and Katie before she went to curl up on her chair again. It was only when Harry gasped she realised her mistake. she was in her room relaxing. in the nude.
