Hermione Granger's Secret Love
Chapter 1
The summer before there 4th year at Hogwarts saw a lot of changes in Hermione Granger true she had always had a small crush on one Harry Potter but in fact, her shyness had overcome her so many times that she would just bury the desire deep in her mind and she did this by staying ahead in all her classes. She was currently sleeping in her room when our story begins.
It was midnight on July 31, 1994, and as Hermione slept peacefully her alarm went off at its set time. She had secretly been practicing flying on a broom that her parents had bought her as a welcome home present so every night at midnight she would go out and practice flying. She did not have to worry about muggles seeing her because her family had moved to the country where she had a hundred-acre farm.
This was the year Hermione was most excited for because for the first time her younger sister Emily was turning 11 on September 1st would be joining her at Hogwarts. But for the first time, she wasn't worried about that because she was going to see Harry for the first time since school had let out. At the start of the summer Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black had been cleared of all charges and had been permitted to take Harry in as per his father's will.
Hermione had been floo calling Harry at least three times a week. She had also called Sirius to set up what she had planned for tonight. She was going to fly over to Harry's house as he and Sirius had moved to the country not but 30 miles down the dirt road. She knew that Harry would still be awake because he often stayed up practicing for quidditch this coming school year.
As Hermione got dressed in a pair of tight jeans, a pair of boots, and a crop top with a cute pink bra. She knew Harry had a lake on his property so she brought a pair of cut-off shorts with her in case they went swimming. His birthday present which she had bought months ago was a muggle picture frame that she had bewitched to transition between different moments that the owner placed in it from their memories.
When she had gotten dressed and packed her bag for the night she looked at her watch and realized it was 12:15 AM. She quickly got to the living room and wrote a quick note to her parents saying that she would be back around 9 PM that night. Her parents knew what she was doing but it was still the responsible thing to do. As she mounted her broom that she had carved into the side of a heart with the letters "HHM FOREVER" she smiled as she kicked off hard from the ground and headed west. It wasn't long before she saw the house she knew was Harry's. She quickly landed and hid her broom as she snuck out towards the back yard.
She found Harry exactly where she thought he would be flying from one end of the quidditch pitch to the other. She summoned her broom and raced off to join him. Harry, who had not yet seen Hermione, was shocked when he saw a mass of brown hair fly past him. As the mass slowed down he realized it was none other than Hermione. She came close to Harry and said, "Surprise, I wanted to make your birthday special but I didn't know how to do that so when my parents got me this broom I started practicing every night." "Hermione," Harry said, "this is truly wonderful, thank you, I've missed you especially you."
The two teens were both shocked by what Harry had just said. There was an awkward silence before Hermione spoke. "Harry, how about we go swimming in the moonlight?" "It is a nice night." Harry thought about it for a minute then said, "Sure thing Hermione, race you there." And with that he was off jumping on his broom he launched into the air only to find that Hermione was just as good of a flyer. They flew for about 5 minutes until they touched down by the lake.
"Oh harry, this is beautiful," said Hermione. She never realized that Harry had already changed and was waiting on her. When she slipped out of her jeans and into the shorts she had brought and pulled the shirt she was wearing over her head. Harry couldn't help but wonder how she had become so beautiful. He watched as Hermione walked to the beginning of the dock and suddenly took off in a full run and jumped into the water landing right next to Harry. As soon as she came up she swam closer to Harry not realizing how cold the water would be. "Oh Harry, you didn't tell me the water was freezing." "I wasn't expecting you to straight jump in." "Well, what did you expect?"
They spent the good part of two hours swimming in the lake before they grew too cold. Harry looked down at his watch and realized it was almost 3 AM. When he looked at Hermione he asked her if she wanted to come inside and warm up. As soon as she agreed the pair made their way up to the manor and headed to the guest room. Harry showed Hermione where she would be sleeping that night and showed her the bathroom. While Hermione was showering, Harry had her clothes cleaned and dried just right for her.
When Hermione was done she was surprised that her clothes were clean and warm. She tried to find Harry but there were so many rooms that she soon gave up and went to her room which she noticed had a new name plack on it saying H. Granger. She instantly looked to her right and saw the name, H. Potter. She went and knocked on the door, a little shy, and pushed the door open. Harry was asleep in his bed only wearing a pair of boxers. She saw this and immediately turned a deep shade of red as she tried to quietly slip out of the room until she looked back at Harry only to see his emerald green eyes connecting with her.
They stayed there for several minutes until Hermione broke the silence apologizing over and over again as she left the room and entered her own. She soon found herself asleep and dreaming about a tall green-eyed boy.
-dream-
Hermione walked down the stairs to the great hall hoping that she was the only one up until she saw Harry leaning up against the wall waiting on her. He comes up to her and professes his love for her. They passionately kiss for several minutes until they make their way up to Harry's rooms.
Hermione wakes with a big smile on her face having her favorite dream out of all of them. She gets up in only her underwear and grabs the white bathrobe and makes her way to the dining room. As she walks down the stairs she starts looking at the pictures on the walls she sees one of her and Harry's last Christmas of them exchanging gifts as they were the only students that had stayed at Hogwarts. Several of the teachers had stayed but Harry and Hermione spent the holiday together. They even danced in the snow on Christmas eve. They had gotten Hagrid to take their picture as he got ready. The last picture caught Hermione kissing Harry on the cheek. She had a copy of that picture on her bedside table back at home.
She reached the bottom step to find a note left for her and Harry from Sirius.
-Harry and Hermione-
I was unfortunately called away by Dumbeldor early this morning. I should be back by about noon so stay good and no funny business.
-Sirius-
Hermione was shocked she quickly checked the time and saw that it was only 7:30 AM. She figured she would go wake Harry up so they could spend the morning together. As she made her way up to his room she couldn't help but notice what seemed to be a broom closet with a dusty door. The name plack read James Lily Potter. She opened the door and was shocked to see that it is a beautiful room covered in Gryffindor colors.
She soon stepped out and continued down the hallway until she was standing outside Harry's door. She knocked on the door surprised to see it swing open slowly. She stepped in not noticing that her robe caught on the door and fell off her shoulders leaving her in only her underwear bottoms. She walked over to the bed only to find it empty but when she looked up and heard the shower turn off she looked at the reflection of her bare chest as she frantically looked for something to cover herself with. She found one of Harry's t-shirts and barely had time to slip it over her head as he walked in.
Harry unexpectedly came into his room covered in only a towel and suddenly saw Hermione and dropped the towel causing both the teens to blush furiously as Hermione turned away. Harry summoned a pair of jeans and slid them on. He let her know it was ok to look and slowly she turned around. She noticed that Harry had a great set of abbs and muscles in his upper body. She had to ignore her longing to walk over to harry and kiss him passionately and pour out her feelings to him. Instead, Harry asked her why she was wearing one of his old shirts. Hermione blushed and explained that her robe had fallen off without realizing and she panicked. Harry laughed and summoned the robe to his hand. Hermione was stunned at how calmly he was using magic outside of school. "Harry, how are you using magic outside of school without you being overage?" Harry answered, "It's a simple spell that removes the ministry tracker from your wand, I can do it for you." When Hermione nodded her head harry took her wand and muttered the words, salvery Augustus porris, and her wand glowed bright blue as the tracker faded away.
She was amazed and made a mental note to remember that one. She flicked her wand and the room was filled with glowing gold light. She was amazed as she felt something else. Her wand felt more powerful than before. She had not noticed that Harry had finished getting dressed and was walking out of the room. She thought that she should use what courage she had left and follow Harry. She needed to tell him how she felt. Harry was heading out the back door when Hermione was at the top of the stairs.
"HARRY!" She called. "Wait up, I have to tell you something." Harry stopped right in front of the door and watched as Hermione almost tripped over her feet running down the stairs. He had to catch her to keep her from hitting her head on the door. "Harry, I love you, I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you on the Hogwarts Express and I hope you feel the same way." "I LOVE YOU HARRY JAMES POTTER." Harry was generally surprised at her courage. It was true that he had loved her from the moment she started talking to him around Halloween of their first year but he had no idea that she felt this way.
Hermione was getting worried about his silence until he spoke, "Hermione Jean Granger I have loved you for a long time and I would have told you sooner. I Love You Too." Hermione was so overjoyed forgetting she was only in a t-shirt and underwear, she jumped up in his arms and kissed him passionately. Harry kissed her back and they stayed that way for several minutes until they had to break apart to catch their breaths. They checked the time and saw it was 9 AM so they decided to sit in the sitting room and watch a movie since the house Sirius and Harry were living in happened to have to work muggle devices. So they went to the movie rack and picked out a romantic movie and sat through the whole thing.
While the movie was going Hermione sunk into her deepest vault of courage and asked Harry something that had been on her mind for a while. "Harry, will you be my boyfriend?" Harry replied, "Only if you will be my Girlfriend." She squealed "yes!" "1000x yes." With that, she kissed him with all the love she could muster. They sat and finished the movie when they discovered they were fairly hungry so against Harry's wishes Hermione went into the kitchen and started making bacon and pancakes. When breakfast was served they sat down and enjoyed their first of many meals as a couple. At 10:30 Hermione went up the stairs to take a shower and find her clothes. As she left the kitchen she winked at Harry and jogged up the stairs with the shirt riding up her back.
She knew she was the only one in the upstairs portion of the house so she stopped by Harry's room and threw the shirt on his bed then went into her room and showered. While she was showering an owl arrived carrying two letters from Hogwarts. It was their letters giving the school books they needed and a letter from Dumbledore stating that Harry had been made quidditch captain and had full control over the team. The last part of the letter was a password for the Gryffindor Quidditch Dormitories.
It was after 11 when Hermione re-emerged from the beyond as Harry joked. He let her read the letter as he studied her outfit. She was wearing white heels, a pink skirt, and a tight red blouse. She had specifically picked this outfit because she knew Harry would like it. She even posed for Harry so he could get all the good angles. They were interrupted by the fire glowing green and their friend Ron Weasley's head appeared in the fire Hermione went to change as Harry answered the call. "Hey, Ron what's up?" "I just wanted to let you know that my family and I will be over around 5 Pm if that's alright." "Yea man that works Sirius is supposed to be taking me out for a birthday lunch anyway. Thanks for letting me know. See you later bye." "Bye Harry" As Ron's head disappeared Harry called for Hermione who had just gone into the other room while Harry called Ron. She was sweating like crazy because the blouse was squeezing the life out of her chest so with a soft kiss, she went to change. She found a pair of jeans and a pink tank top to put on. Before she put the tank top on she figured she put on her bra from the night before.
When she came downstairs she was shocked that Sirius was waiting on her. He was dressed in a pair of black pants and a button-down shirt with a suit jacket. Sirius had always liked Hermione and had a bet with Remus Lupin on when Harry and Hermione would get together because they saw the chemistry between the two teens.
As they walked outside Sirius called them over and they appeared in London for lunch which consisted of a steak for Sirius, a double burger for Harry, and a plate of wings for Hermione. They enjoyed the meal as they ate. Sirius asked them how the night went. He had been the one who had seen Hermione fly to the house and disabled the intruder wards long enough for her to cross the property line.
Harry suggested they head back to the house and get ready for the party when Hermione suggested they go walk around Diagon Alley while Sirius went to get the house ready. As the couple walked away Sirius knotted that they were holding hands and standing very close to each other. They made it a few blocks until they were standing right outside the Leaky Cauldron. They made their way to the bar and ordered two butterbeers and walked through the barrier to Diagon alley. The first thing they noticed was parents getting their children's school supplies as early as possible. Harry and Hermione snuck into quality quidditch supplies and started looking at racing brooms.
It was almost 4:30 when they left Diagon Alley with all their school stuff and a few extras. Harry had bought Hermione a short black dress that really showed her figure. She had bought him a set of green dress robes that brought out the color of his eyes.
Chapter 2
As they entered the streets of London they had no idea how to get back to Harry's house until he remembered he had Sirius's motorcycle shrunk in his pocket. The couple made it into an alleyway and enlarged the bike. As they swung on the bike they were each imprinted with the knowledge of how to ride it. Thankfully the bike could fly and had a delusion charm on it so they would not be seen by any muggles. It took the couple less than 30 minutes to find the road that connected their houses. Harry landed and pulled up in front of Hermione's house to let her drop off her stuff and get her school trunk, having owled her parents asking if she could stay with Harry for the rest of the break. They had of course said yes, they had no reason not to trust their oldest. Besides, they had taken Hermione's little sister Emily into London to get her school stuff. Hermione was so overjoyed that she was back outside within a minute having magically packed all her stuff including her copy of her photo with Harry.
They decided to drive down the dirt instead of fly. When they got close to the words harry muttered the incarnation, havana de saintest, hermione had heard it before but this time felt special as the ward passed over her like sunshine on a cold winter's day. When they say the house they could barely believe their eyes, the house was decorated to the max with red and gold. The couple could only stare in amazement as they parked Sirius's bike in the garage. As the couple walked in the door they noticed it was pitch black they tried lumos a spell that had never failed them but shill could not see so they de-lit their wands *nox* and tried to make their way around the sitting room when, SURPRISE! The Weasleys, Sirius, and Lupin all said at the same time. If the outside of the house was un believable than the inside looked totally different. It was covered in red and gold. Harry could not believe what was happening. It was the first time he felt happier than ever. From the Weasleys he got lots of sweets and even a love potion from Ginny.
From Lupin he got a set of wand holsters with the inscription of his and hers. Clearly meant for a couple. From Hermione he saw the photo frame as it changed from one image to another. He was crying at this point and hugged Hermione. From sirius he got the bike that he and Hermione had rode up on. Sirius had gotten a job at Hogwarts as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, therefore to celebrate he had made a purchase of a muggle '67 chevy impala. Harry was overjoyed with everything that had gone down that day when the cakes were brought in. One was in the shape of a giant snitch and the other one was a big heart Hermione had made him. Soon after the cake was done Harry, Ginny,Ron, and the Weasley Twins went out to play quidditch while Hermione watched not wanting to show off her flying skills yet. While the kids were outside, Hermione's parents pulled up and talked with Sirius for a minute dropping off some things they had gotten for Hermione and a gift for Harry. They made sure it was ok for Hermione to stay the remainder of the break which Sirius had no problem with knowing she would keep Harry occupied while he was at work.
It was almost midnight when the guests were leaving. Ron was the only one of the Weasleys left at Harry's because he had fallen asleep on the couch. Harry promised he would bring Ron to the house soon. Having Hermione and Sirius's help them loaded Ron into the side car of the bike. Hermione climbed up behind Harry and they took off. Driving at first past Hermione's parents house and into the air heading straight for the Burrow. Hermione fell asleep leaning up against Harry so he charmed her hands so they would not let go of him. As they approached the burrow Mrs. Weasley was waiting and levitated Ron in the house then came back out to see Harry place Hermione in the side car comfortably. Mrs. Weasley gave him a blanket which she bewitched to not fly away as they were flying.
After a quick goodbye Harry revved the engine and drove into the night away from the rain. Hermione meanwhile had truly fallen asleep but was having the most peaceful dream…
-dream-
Hermione was walking barefoot in the grass at Harry's house.
She was walking down to the lake when suddenly she felt the air go cold as dementors swarmed the grounds. She quickly pulled her wand and yelled EXPECTO PATRONUM a silver otter emerged from her wand and charged the dementors only to be followed by a doe and big dog charged them the three patronuses where to much for the dementors to handle and they fled.
Hermione awoke with a start. She tried to sit up but hit her head violently against the top of the sidecar. Harry heard this and immediately checked on her. She was ok minus the gash on her forehead. She had a huge headache and wanted something to drink. When she finally was able to sit up and realise where she was. She didn't know how she got in the side car but all she did know was she was and she was bleeding. She carefully crawled up behind Harry as they flew over London. From this height it looked like millions of tiny lights. They stopped in the middle of London and landed in an alleyway long enough to remove the delusion charm they then drove for a while until they came up to the Eiffel Tower. After what seemed like an hour they had climbed up to the top and kissed as the lights went out.
The next thing they knew they were the only couple left on the tower. Hermione was really starting to bleed badly so Harry carried her back to the bike and after a hand sealing charm they flew back to Harry's house. Sirius was waiting on them when they walked into the house he immediately summoned a bandage for her head and gave her some healing drought. As soon as the wound stopped bleeding Harry took her up to her room and laid her in her bed.
Hermione woke up in the very early hours of the morning and realised she was still in her clothes. She stripped down and went to take a shower to wash all the sweat and blood off of her. She was in the shower for about 30 minutes. When she got out she was feeling lazy so she pulled on a pair of black panties and an oversized t-shirt. She lazally went into Harry's room, removed the t-shirt and slipped into the bed with him. She never realized that he was so warm to sleep against as her body was still cold from the shower. She caressed her hands up and down his back feeling every muscle. Harry rolled over in his sleep causing Hermione to jump slightly. He was out after having taken a sleeping drought given to him by Sirius. Hermione soon moved to start examining his front. He had a beautiful set of abbs and a strong muscular build which she loved. She ruffled his hair only to be surprised that she smelt coconut. She loved the smell and Harry knew it. She rolled over facing her back to Harry and soon fell asleep. Unbeknownst to both of them their souls bonded to form a new layer of their relationship. This gave them the ability to hear what the other was thinking and be able to tell if one of them was lying.
Hermione left the room at 5:30 by slipping back into her room to get dressed. She quickly went to the library to read about soul bonds because she has a feeling telling her to learn as much about it as possible.
The rest of the summer consisted of Swimming, Flying, and spending every moment together between Harry and Hermione.
September 1st was soon upon them so at 10:30 Am Harry and Hermione accompanied by Sirius met up with Hermione's parents who had brought Emily having experienced going through the barrier with Hermione they helped her get settled on the train and where soon gone because they had a meeting. Emily quickly made friends with other 1st year's while Harry and Hermione made their way to the back of the train to find a compartment to sit. They made it to the last car and found possibly the only two person compartment on the whole train they soon occupied.
At 11 o'clock the train's engine started and Sirius watched as Harry and Hermione(who he considered his daughter in law by now) disappeared around the corner. Hermione soon fell asleep laying in Harry's lap. Harry on the other hand had purchased numerous sweets and had made sure to evenly pack snack bags for him and Hermione. Hermione woke only when Harry moved to use the bathroom. She complained loudly as he laughed and stepped out of the compartment. He returned five minutes later only to find Hermione looking through a muggle magazine about models and their skinny bodies as she pulled her shirt up and looked at her stomach. "Harry, do I look fat to you?" she asked more for herself. Harry responded, "Hermione sweetheart, you are 1000 times more beautiful than those girls, I thought you didn't care for things like that." "I don't Harry, it's just I have gained weight over the summer and I don't like how I look in my bikini anymore." "I'm going on a small diet, I won't drop more than 15 pounds. Would you help me, I want to do it the proper way, without magic?" "Hermione, I love you and I would do anything for you." She was happy with his answer and kissed him on the cheek before she let him run his fingers through her hair as she drifted into sleep.
Several hours passed and as the train was pulling up to Hogwarts Hermione woke up to find her and Harry sleeping on the extended part of the seat. She woke him up and they hurried and pulled their school robes over their muggle clothes. They had not meant to sleep so long But the warmth of each other's bodies felt so good they just stayed asleep. As they rushed to catch a Carriage they saw Hagrid leading the first year's to the boats. They caught the last one and slowly made their way up to the school. The house tables were decorated with the traditional gold plates and goblets. Although this year had a tablecloth with the house color and logo.
They watched the sorting and cheered as Emily was put into Gryffindor. After the last child was sorted, Abe Crucible slitherynn, The meal began without a problem. When suddenly the great hall doors opened up to see dementors flooded the hall. Harry and Hermione were the first to respond by shouting at the same time EXPECTO PATRONUM the silver stag and otter charged only to be followed by a silver phoenix. The three patronuses were too much for the dementors and sent them flying away from hogwarts.
After that Dumbeldor suggested the houses go back to their dormitories however, he called Harry and Hermione to his office. As soon as they stepped through the door they felt a sudden warmth as they realized the dementor defence was put back into place. After a few minutes Dumbeldor entered the office and sat behind his desk. He asked them how they had become so much more powerful over the break. He expected an answer but did not get one instead they had just said the dementors were nothing because they had been practicing their patronuses. Dumbledor didn't believe them but he could not hold them in his office so he let them go. Harry and Hermione raced out of his office and headed back to the Gryffindor common room there was still two days until turm started so they did not stay long as soon as the last person went to bed the young couple grabbed there brooms and headed to the quidditch pitch and as soon as they were at different ends of the pitch the two kicked off and started a game they had created over brake. The point of the game was survival. They would send stinging jinx's at each other while trying to avoid random obstacles floating in the air.
Hermione had created a spell that surrounded the arena they used to keep them in and keep sound in as they would sometimes play late into the night and didn't want to disturb Sirius. So hermione conjured the spell which they named, SELESTRO IMEDIA. Within minutes a gold dome had surrounded Harry and Hermione so they could play the game in piece. Little did they know, Professor Dumbledor had watched the couple perform their deed of extraordinary magic. He spoke to himself saying what he feared the most was happening. The young couple was going through a soul bond.
Meanwhile on the field Harry was leading in points 3-2 he had learned a trick to make the obstacles move by hitting them with the stinging jinx. Hermione had made it to where shield charms were unable to be used so she had to rely on skill and instinct to avoid some of the objects. The game was fun and they always found a way to make it fun and different every time. It was well after 2 am when the game ended in a tie with Hermione just about to win. The score flashed in the air 15-15.
They uttered the deactivation spell, REPELLO DE IMEDIA and flew to the window of Gryffindor tower. Hermione enlarged the window so they could step inside easily. The only thing they weren't expecting was to come face to face with an angry Professor Mcgonagall. "Well I must say, I expected more from the two of you." but since the term has not started yet I can not put you in detention so i suggest you go to bed." "Goodnight." As Mcgonagall left the room Harry and Hermione Laughed out loud at each other. They were heading to their dorms when they noticed a new room. It had only appeared to them their names were even on the door. Cautiously they entered the room only to be shocked. All their stuff had been brought up to the room and there was this beautiful queen size bed that had more than enough room for both of them.
As they settled in for the night they had no idea that the closer they got their soul bond was growing stronger. Up in his office, Albus Dumbledor felt the change in the magic surrounding Hogwarts and cursed the founders as he chunked the ink bottle he had been using. The bottle hit his wine case and shattered. Dumbeldor paid no attention to it as he made an emergency floo call to Severus Snape, He asked him to make a potion that would break a soul bond. He asks if this is the right choice of plan. If one is to destroy a soul bond there are grave consequences. "Some have even died doing less than what you have already done headmaster." "Severus, this is for the greater good now please I will take the consequences myself since I instructed you to make this potion." With this Snape left the office thinking as he walked back to the dungeon. Wondering why Dumblebdor wanted to break up a young couple who had a lot of potential ahead of them despite him not being very popular with the two students he dared not separate the two. He could clearly see the chemistry between the lovers.
CHAPTER 3
As Harry and Hermione awoke the next morning they were welcomed with notes on their tables to meet with professor McGonagall in the library as soon as possible. The young couple had no idea what they were going for so they entered the library hand in hand. As they sat at their professors table she explained that they had been seen last night on the quidditch pitch and warned that if they wanted to continue their game they needed to ask permission.
They agreed and went along with their day until a pair of stunners were sent their way. The to had no time to react and were hit square in the face.
Harry woke a few hours later only to find himself chained to Hermione as they lay in a dark cold room lit only by a single torch on the wall. He spotted their wands a short distance away however unreachable due to the chains. As Hermione woke a door opened slowly and Albus Dumbledor walked into the room.
He spoke in a very dark voice, " Harry, oh Harry, I wanted us to be able to work together but you had to give your heart to here. Now I'm going to have to perform a very complex memory charm making Hogwarts and the rest of the world forget about so that things will go back to plan. I can just substitute with as the mate of ." now speaking to Hermione, " im sorry but this is for the greater good." Albus spoke as he lifted his wand. Harry yelled, "NOOOO" as he pulled himself to his feet and tackled Dumbledor.
Having moved so suddenly not only had Hermione moved out of Dumbledors line of fire but he had been knocked to the floor and broken several ribs. The chains holding Harry and Hermione vanished and the young couple got up to leave when a circle of fire surrounded Harry and Dumbledor. "HARRY POTTER!" Dumbledor yelled, "This is enough I challenge you to a duel and if I win you will remember Hermione not." Harry looked shocked as he replied, "Ok old man, but if I win you will surrender your wand to me and leave Hogwarts forever." The two enemies faced each other as a gold light encased the two sealing the terms of the duel.
As each wizard prepared a set of spells Hermione sent a patronus to Mcgonagall calling for help. Albus fired first with a reducto curse which Harry blocked sending a bone breaker curse at the old man hitting him in the stomach. Albus doubled over but refused to give up. "INVICTUS" shouted Dumbledore and the green light was shot at harry. Harry dodged and the two locked up using the same spell as they shouted in unison, "EXPELLIARMUS" Harry having slightly more practice with the spell soon started to over power the old man. Before Albus realized what happened his wand left his hand and he fell to the ground. He looked up to see Harry holding his former wand as he had felt the allegiance change the moment it left his hand.
The gold orb vanished along with the ring of fire. Hermione ran up to Harry and embraced him with the biggest hug ever. Professor Mcgonagall had arrived just as Harry disarmed Dumbledor and called for Severus to play back Harry's memories so as to be able to see what happened.
Once the two head professors had seen what they needed they made a copy of the memory and sent the two teens along. Later in the evening at dinner there was no sign of Albus Dumbledor anywhere on the grounds of Hogwarts. Professor Mcgonagall had made the announcement that Albus had been sacked and she had been elected as the new Headmistress of Hogwarts.
Several months passed since the sacking of Dumbledor and Christmas was approaching, Hermione had written to her parents and Sirius asking if she and Harry could go to her parents' cottage in the forest of Dean for the holidays. After many talks between Sirius and The Grangers The two teens were allowed but Sirius was going to be placing some protections around it including a barrier that needed a password to enter. The password being Prongs after Harry's dad's nickname.
Soon the time came for the fall semester and Harry+Hermione were soon flying from Hogwarts to the designated portkey that would take them to the cottage. Harry and Hermione were wrapped in large traveling cloaks and grabbing their brooms. Their trunks had been shrunk and placed in Hermione's pockets of her jacket she wore under her cloak.
The couple rode the school carriages with the rest of their friends so they could say goodbye to them since one of the wards would not let their owls reach them. Hedwig and Hermione's owl, Rosaline (that she had got from her parents as a return to Hogwarts gift), were going to be staying at the school so they would be able to find food and bring them messages from only Sirius and Hermione's Parents.
Harry and Hermione watched as the train pulled out of the station and turned to walk towards Hagrid's hut. As they made it to the midpoint of the grounds, they summoned their brooms and took off leaving a spot of clean grass in the snow. They laughed as they raced off into the afternoon sky. It was several hours before they made it to the designated point where Sirius was waiting for them. His firebolt 2.0 was leaning against a neighboring tree and in front of him was a muggle history book.
When Harry and Hermione landed, Sirius knotted that the two teens were holding hands and he planned on asking Harry about it later. There was not long for a happy greeting as the moment they landed the portkey glowed bright blue and pulled harry and hermione to the granger cottage in the forest of deen. They put the name prongs in their minds and where safely passed through the barrier. They landed 50 feet away from the cabin with Harry standing up with a face full of snow. Hermione couldn't help but laugh as her lover laid in the snow cursing himself for his clumsiness.
In the cabin there were two rooms, a master bedroom and a slightly smaller room. The kitchen was large enough for two people to move around comfortably. The living room was decorated in the colors of gryffindor which they were thankful for. Harry, having taken the smaller bedroom, placed his trunk at the foot of the bed and went down to the basement where he found a christmas tree and carried it up the stairs. Hermione was waiting for him. This was one of her favorite times of the holiday, decorating the tree. Harry on the other hand was having fun watching Hermione use her creativity on the tree. Hermione was enjoying herself hanging ornaments her parents had bought. She didn't realize that Harry had hung back and watched her almost decorate the entire tree. Harry had been watching her the whole time, she felt miserable. She invited Harry over and had him put the star on top of the tree. She let Harry decorate the living room, they worked on the kitchen together, they then went their separate ways, Harry went to decorate Hermione's room and Hermione to Harry's.
At dinner the first night they had amazing chicken and rice that Harry had cooked for the two of them. Hermione was thoroughly impressed with Harry's cooking. She was even more surprised that he didn't have to use magic to enhance the meal. Harry on the other hand had thought he did horrible when he saw that Hermione had tears in her eyes after the first bite. He was shocked to see her get up and hug him for all he was worth.
They went to bed late that night since Hermione had introduced Harry to Video Games. It was an advanced shooter that her dad loved to play and had tried to teach Hermione. Although she made it seem like she was a super bookworm she often preferred to get out of the normal and show her true self. There were two controllers so her and Harry played most of the night and into the morning. They finally went to bed around five o'clock in the morning. They slept until almost lunchtime the next day. It was three days before christmas eve and the two teens decided to start a small prank war.
The first day Harry snuck into Hermione's room and stole her trunk(which held all her clothes as she had not unpacked) and would not say where it was hidden. Hermione got him back by throwing all of Harry's clothes out in the snow and burying them. They took a break from the prank war with a bewitched snowball fight. After about two hours of the game the young couple realizing it was night shed their clothes down to their underwear. They sat wrapped in an overly large blanket huddled in front of the fire. Hermione fell asleep with her head in Harry's lap. She woke up several hours later to find her and Harry tied in a knot of limbs as they had curled up together. As carefully as she could she levitated Harry to his bed and tucked him in. Before she left the room she kissed him goodnight.
When she crossed the hall she shed her tank top (much to her relief as her chest was in pain due to the cold) she was unable to get comfortable so she also shed the pink panties she was wearing. As she fell asleep she was thinking about a certain green eyed wizard.
-dream-
Hermione awoke as if someone had called her name in fear. She looked around and she was in Harry's bed fully exposed. She quickly seemed not to care that she was completely naked and pulled the blanket away from Harry before engaging in one of the best makeout sessions she ever imagined. She soon started to adventure his body kissing his neck, chest, abbs, then she reached the hem of his boxers…
Hermione woke with a start and a smile on her face. She had fantasized about Harry since first year when he saved her from the troll. She knew what she had planned for one of his Christmas presents and decided she should go ahead and start getting comfortable with Harry seeing her body. She put her bra and panties back on and searched for one of her pair of short shorts.
Hermione was nervous to see Harry in her attire. She had never dressed like this infront of him (are anyone for that matter) and she was worried she would not be good enough for him. It was more like her sister to dress like this but Hermione had learned a few tips from Emily. She was actually borrowing a pair of her panties just for Harry.
As she entered the kitchen she was surprised to not see Harry this morning when she heard a piercing yell. Grabbing her wand she ran up the stairs as fast as she could. She didn't even bother to knock on the door as she busted in only to find Harry having dropped his towel from his shower clutching his scar. Harry, who had seen Hermione come in, made a grab for the towel but not to cover himself he put the towel up to his scar and to the young couples shock his scar had opened up and was bleeding fiercely. Hermione went into the bathroom and grabbed a bandage for him and a washcloth, she knew she could use magic but was not used to doing it outside of school.
She placed the bandage on Harry's head and to her shock the blood just seeped through the bandage as if it were not there. Her next option was to use a healing spell, she muttered summoning as much power as possible she whispered COMPARRA SCARRA Harry's scar quickly scabbed over as he noticed Hermione holding on to him. He looked down and saw that he was nude. Out of embarrassment he pulled the towel from Hermione to cover himself when he realized what she was wearing, or what she was not wearing.
Hermione knew she had to cheer Harry up where the scar would just burst open again so she pulled herself on top of Harry and began violently kissing him for all she was worth. Harry was shocked that his girlfriend was getting out of her shell. This was unexpected as in Harry had never seen Hermione act like this before.
Hermione was feeling her shyness return as something in her body wanted to keep going but she soon saw that Harry was getting uncomfortable so she reluctantly pulled herself off of him. She excused herself to get started on setting the table for breakfast and grabbing her favorite sleeveless jacket. Harry came down the stairs about five minutes later and after a quick kiss went to start breakfast. In less than a minute he had bacon frying in one skillet sausage in another and eggs ready to go. As he got ready to put the biscuits in he grabbed the honey and filled the centers of them.
Hermione was reading in the living room when she heard Harry call her name. "Yes dear." Hermione answered. Breakfast was served. To Hermione, it was the best meal her and Harry had shared. The couple ate quietly listening to the muggle radio that sat on the counter. They were in the middle of a country song when Harry pulled Hermione from her chair and started dancing around the kitchen.
They went outside forgetting about the cold and walked to the nearby lake. Harry used a quick -DIFFINDO- charm and the ice cracked all around in a 30ft circle. Harry then pulled his shirt and shoes/socks off and slowly climbed into the freezing water. He pulled his wand and used a warming spell, -WARMIOWATERA- instantly the water was as if he was sitting in a hot tub. Hermione reluctantly striped off her shoes and socks and touched the water with her foot. Deciding it was warm enough, she took off her jacket and lowered herself into the water. Thankful that she was wearing black as to not be exposed she dove under the water and saw something silver reflect the sunlight.
She quickly came up as she needed air and told Harry what she had seen. The teens put a bubble head charm on and dove back under water, sure enough there was something silver. Harry lit his wand, -LUMOS- and handed his wand to Hermione as he swam deeper into the water. As he reached the object he saw it was a big silver chest he summoned his wand from hermione and levitated it out of the water.
Harry and Hermione pulled themselves out of the water. They grabbed what clothes they had started pulling the chest back towards the cabin. It took them 30 minutes to pull the chest back inside the cabin, after performing several warming charms and lighting a fire in the fireplace, they turned to examine the was solid silver with the inscription which Hermione read aloud,
To the couple that finds this chest,
This chest once belonged to my daughter Lily Evans/Potter. If the chest finds a couple worthy to look inside it then all you have to do is say the incarnation at the same time with your partner. May lily's spirit and soul forever rest in peace.
Sincerely- Isabella Evans
Hermione could not believe what they had found. She searched the chest and soon found the incarnation,
-Purest of heart bind us body, mind, heart, and soul for all eternity-
Hermione showed Harry and the two teens repeated the incarnation just as the letter said. In an instant there was a flash of bright pink light that covered Harry and Hermione. Just as soon as it had come it had vanished. Hermione looked at the floor and saw a golden key on the ground Harry picked it up and placed it into the lock.
The lock clicked open and the lid popped up slightly. Trembling Hermione looked at Harry when she heard Harry's thoughts. "Please "Mione, do the honors of opening it." Hermione was shocked that she could hear his thoughts. As she opened the crate she saw a pink liner and a name tag that said, Lily Juliet Evans, it was beautiful. Inside were dozens of pictures of Lily as a child,teenager,and a picture of her wedding to one James Potter. The next picture was one of herself, James, Baby Harry, and a cardboard sign that said 15 weeks until Baby Lucy Arrives, the date was 10/30/81. Harry looked at Hermione with tears in his eyes. He would have a sister if it weren't for Voldemort.
Hermione was feeling Harry's pain as if it were her own. She pulled Harry away from the chest and wrapped her arms around his neck trying to be as comforting as possible. As hermione went to close the trunk for now she saw two brightly colored boxes. One had the initials J.P. and the other one had L.E. She grabbed the two boxes and a note fell out of them.
To Harry,
These necklaces or for you and whoever you choose to be your partner in life forever and ever. You're father and I filled our memories together in each of these necklaces for you and your lover to be able to experience what we felt for each other all along. These necklaces or also a portkey that will take you and your lover to Potter Mansion in europe. Other than you and your choice of lover, your godfather Sirius has a portkey that in a time of need he can escape there as well.
love-MOM.
Harry let one tear fall down his face as he looked at the cases. He opened the case that belonged to his father and put the shiny gold necklace with his father's wedding band on it. He opened the other one and saw a beautiful diamond ring that he knew was his mothers. He looked over at Hermione who was staring at him with concern in her face. She knew that Harry was talking to himself so she had stopped listening.
To her utter surprise Harry called her over and handed her the case of his mother's ring. She saw that it was not in the case. The next thing she knew she felt metal hit her chest and wrap around her neck. She looked down and saw the ring on the necklace. She turned to Harry to find him on his knees. Hermione got teary eyed as Harry spoke, "Hermione Jean Granger, I love you with all my heart. I have loved you ever since our first meeting on the Hogwarts Express. I'm sorry it took me this long to understand these feelings for you, so what i'm saying is will you MARRY ME?
Hermione almost screamed with joy, "Yes, Harry. Yes it would be my honor to be your wife. I want to be to you what your mom was to your dad."
Harry burst out crying in joy. His dreams had been fulfilled. He had planned on waiting for Christmas to ask Hermione to marry him. Under the tree was a beautiful gold banded with a silver and bronze diamond. It was hidden in the back of the huge pile of presents. He whispered, "-ACCIO RING-" and he saw the small package flying across the room. Hermione looked on with curiosity.
"Hermione," Harry called, "I was going to wait until Christmas to give this to you." Hermione opened the package and found a velvet box. She took a breath and opened the box…
"Oh Harry…" It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. "I figure I need to ask you what ring you want to be married to." She thought about it for a minute then said, "Harry, I love the ring you got me but I feel that this marriage would be even more special if I used lily's ring." Harry could have cared less he scooped Hermione up in his arms and kissed her with as much passion as possible.
The couple looked at each other and said unanimously, "It's time!" They went hand in hand to Harry's room and slowly started to strip the other of their respective clothes. By the time they were down to their underwear they looked at each other and started examining their partners bodys. They were shocked at how good looking each other was. As the night went on they became more intimate.
Hermione awoke the next morning slightly shocked that she was missing her clothes and not in her own room before she remembered the night before. She looked down at her naked body and saw Lily's ring had moved to her finger. She smiled as the chain that had held the ring now held a silver phoenix. She looked at Harry and saw that his chain had a silver fox. Harry had his father's ring on his finger and Hermione examined it closely. Each ring had the Potter Family Crest.
As she got out of bed a gust of wind blew against her bare body. Grabbing her panties and a long t-shirt she made her way to the shower. After only five minute, Hermione was warmer than warm. She went down to the kitchen to fix breakfast when an owl came through the window. It looked mournful as it dropped the letter besides Hermione. As Hermione read the letter she started to cry.
Dear Ms. Granger
I regret to inform you that as of 9:35 last night your parents were found dead by one Sirius Black (Godfather to your fiance Harry Potter) The magical alarms placed around your house by Mr. Black sounded and he rushed to the scene only to find that the house was aflame. Mr. Black was able to catch one of the attackers. His own cousin, Belitrex Lestrange, had attacked the house hoping to reach you to force information out of you about the whereabouts of one Harry Potter. We at the ministry wish you the best of luck with your fiance, sense you are engaged you will be remaining with Harry and Mr. Black during the school holidays.
Sincerely- Madam Bones
Head of Magical Law Enforcement.
Hermione looked as though all the happiness in her life was drained from her soul. She looked up to see a shirtless Harry walk into the room. At first glance he knew something was wrong. Hermione was a strong young woman and to see her cry was a rarity. He looked past her and saw the letter, as he read it he soon understood that she was in deep pain.
Harry Grabbed Hermione and pulled her into a warm hug. He was not surprised that all the heat in Hermione's body had left in an instant. She lost all feeling in her legs as she felt Harry's touch so he scooped her up bridal style and took her to her room. He revealed her trunk from where he had hidden it and looked for the warmest clothes he could find for her. He found a wooly sweater and a tight pair of sweatpants. Once he had gotten her dressed he went downstairs to prepare a warm meal for her.
Hermione awoke with a scream. She had pictured her parents death and was scared out of her mind. As she sat up she saw a hooded figure leave her room. "HARRY!" she yelled. As she said this she heard a commotion down stairs and several different colored sparks started shooting up the stairs.
Hermione pulled Harry's shrunken trunk out from under her bed and reached in to grab the mirror. She yelled, "SIRIUS BLACK!" within seconds the face of Sirius Black appeared in the mirror. Hermione stuck the mirror out in the hall. Sirius cursed and disappeared. Within seconds he was standing next to Hermione wand drawed. He and Hermione ran down the stairs to find the living room in flames as the fight had escaped outside.
Harry was putting up a good fight but it was three on one. Lucius Malfoy was in the lead with his wife and son close behind him. Draco disarmed Harry who was hit with the cruciatus curse. As he yelled in pain Hermione noticed her ring was glowwing gold as was Harry's. She grabbed the ring and whispered Harry's name. Harry heard her as if she was right next to him. It gave him strength to stand up and charge malfoy. Sirius in dog form tackled draco and bit his wand snapping it in half.
Narcissus Malfoy shot a stunner at Sirius only to have her and Harry's wands pulled away from her. Hermione caught the wands as they flew through the air. The three malfoys were outmatched. Lucius grabbed his son and wife and appreciated them away. Sirius now back in his normal form looked at the house and muttered a few spells and the house and everything inside was good as new.
Sirius stayed with the young couple for the whole day until the Ministry requested his presence. At the wishes of Harry and Hermione he would go back to his house because Harry and Hermione wanted to finish their holiday. Sirius added one more protection spell making the cabin look as though it had been destroyed with the Malfoy conflict.
That night Hermione stayed in the same bed as Harry for fear of being alone. Harry comforted her as she finally mourned for her parents. The next two days went by with nothing happening besides meals and watching tv. At around 10:30 Harry looked at the calendar and realized it was Christmas eve. Harry had something special planned for his love; he just needed her to go to sleep for the time being. Lucally for him hermione had started taking dreamless sleep potions at a recommendation from harry so she was nodding off on harry's shoulder. He gently laid her on the couch and stepped outside. At the back edge of the barrier was a clearing of trees so his plan could begin. He lowered his rucksack to the ground and began. Several hours later Hermione woke up from her sleep to find that Harry was not besides her. Worried she grabbed her jacket forgetting that she was still in her panties and her white t-shirt that she now slept in and used as loungewear. She made her way outside. Liting her wand she called for Harry.
She looked up at the sky when she heard the most beautiful noise ever. A golden phoenix flew overhead. She was immediately curious as she followed her bare toes trudging through the snow. As she came over to the back of the property she came to the clearing and saw the phoenix sitting on the ground. As she stood there she watched the bird spread its wings and transform into her Fiance. He brought her over to a small table and sat her down. He looked into her eyes and told her to look into the sky.
Almost at once several fireworks flew into the air. As they exploded a message formed in the air that said,
MERRY CHRISTMAS HERMIONE! I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART
Hermione had tears of joy in her eyes as the message was surrounded by sparks from another firework that formed into a picture of herself. She cried into her jacket as Harry carried her inside. As they went through the front door Hermione had fallen asleep in Harry's arms. Harry walked to his room and layed Hermione on his bed as he walked over to the dresser to change.
In between dreams Hermione looked over at Harry who was sleeping peacefully. She used some of her magic to look into his mind and see what he was dreaming about. She soon left his mind blushing fiercely. She had seen herself and Harry spread on a beach both nude sunbathing as they played wizards chess. She soon wondered if it was just a dream or something he was planning for the two of them to do.
When Hermione's alarm went off at 5 am she shut it off quickly and snuck out of her and Harry's room. She was on a mission to make this the best Christmas Harry had ever had. They had never had sex because Hermione was uncomterable with the idea just yet however she had been saving that for harry's christmas preasent.
Hermione went over to her room and slipped out of the oversized t-shirt leaving her in just her underwear she examined herself in the full body mirror. She was reasonably fit. She noticed for the first time that she was starting to develop curves and she liked how her body looked. She couldn't help but think of how jealous the other girls at Hogwarts would be if they discovered she looked this good.
Hermione tore her eyes away from the mirror and went rummaging through her trunk looking for her favorite dress, the one Harry had bought her back in Diagon Alley. It was midnight black and looked good. Hermione slipped it over her head and soon had to fight to get it over her chest and waist. She found that the dress hugged her in all the right places. It made her look even better. She slipped her shoes on and looked back at the mirror. What she saw was stunning there stood a 14 year old queen on the way to a ball. She felt a slight discomfort in her chest so she removed her bra making her feel loads better. She decided to remove her white panties as they didn't go with her outfit.
She looked up to see the clock was at 5:30 perfect timing she thought as she snuck over to Harry's room and crawled into bed with him. Her dress was wrapped around her midsection and chest. Leaving no straps on she could make it appear as if she had never left. She gently kissed Harry good morning to wake him up. He slowly opened his eyes and instantly his gaze fell on Hermione. He pulled himself into a sitting position and kissed her back.
"Merry Christmas Hermione," Harry said. She laughed and told Harry to get dressed. As he got hermione noticed he had a nice set of buttocks. She laughed to herself with a knowing smile. As soon as Harry had pulled a pair of pants on, Hermione uncovered herself to show Harry she was wearing the dress that he had gotten her.
"Shall we," Hermione said as the couple made their way down the stairs and their gaze sat on the tree. It was glowing gold and dozens of presents were laying all around it. It was a sight to see. There seemed to be Hundreds of gifts. And It was perfectly organized between who's was who's. Harry and Hermione had an even pile. Harry threw her pile and gave Hermione His gift. She opened it cautiously and looked to see a beautiful Mirror covered in rubies. She turned it over and read the note
Hermione
This mirror is a copy of the ones Sirius and I share, Sirius added this one to the connection. Meaning that if you need either of us and we are not together, Just say our name and we will be instantly notified. This is also handy if I get put into detention and want to talk to you.
Love Harry
Hermione had tears in her eyes. She looked at Harry and hugged him passionately. Hermione gave him his present. As Hermione watched him open it he looked confused. It was a picture of an arm with a tattoo saying HARRY POTTER. Harry looked over at Hermione as she was moving her wand over her left arm and the delusion charm faded away revealing the same tattoo as in the picture. Harry was shocked, Hermione Granger has a tattoo! He didn't think she liked them.
"Hermione, when did you get this?" Harry asked. Hermione chuckled and said, "the last Hogsmeade trip before Christmas, when we agreed to get each other something special. I didn't know what I could get you that would mean something to both of us then I saw this shop towards the middle of town." "Wizard tattoos surprisingly work the same way as muggle tattoos." she laughed.
"Hermione? Did your parents know you got this?" As soon as he asked this he felt guilty and turned to apologize when to his surprise he saw a smile. "Yes Harry, I owl'd them for permission, thank Merlin they said yes." Harry hugged Hermione with thanks. They continued with their gifts that included sweaters from , Sweets from Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George. Most of the presents were from Hermione's parents and Sirius. As they came to the last gift they noticed that it was addressed to both of them.
To Harry James Potter and Hermione Jean Granger,
This is the key to the Potter mansion which you two are free to move into at any given time. The address is 12259 Merlin lane, Texas, United States of America.
The note came with no signature as the couple wondered who could have sent this.
