A reviewer asked how much of an idiot Ron was going to be…well he is pretty oblivious to other people's feelings in the movies/books and needs to have some sense talked into him, which will be the same here. While I don't like his character, mainly I just don't like the Ron/Hermione relationship. I do feel like he is ultimately redeemable, at some point…most likely…

Another reviewer asked if I would kill Ron or Ginny or both…sorry I probably won't, at least not at Hermione's hands….its still too early by how I envision the story to flow to start killing off characters…

Same reviewer requested either Hermione or Fleur sexily punishing each other hmmm…I could definitely make that happen…might be a while though I want it to make sense with the story

Love the reviews, I will try to answer all of your questions on the most recent updated chapter author notes or in the chapters after you post the questions :)

Oh yeah one person said Ron got off too easy, I wouldn't say that…


Daughter of the dark and moon

hidden in mud

Will meet her match with a bird of prey

Their union will be realized in a fury of

Fur joining feathers.

Destined to turn the tide

of the greatest war

Their love will save us all


'Why do I have to clean all of these ruddy loos.'

'Because you are a bigoted selfish prat, who went after my best friend you dolt'

'Oi come on Ginny, you can't tell me it's bloody normal, makes me sick'

'Sounds like thou doth protest too much.'

'Huh?'

'Oh yeah Hermione showed me a muggle author Shakesfork or something, kind of boring reading, but seemed to have a few good lines. Anyway, enough distractions get back to it.'

'Uugh why did they put you in charge? Also, why must I do this using muggle means…while wearing nothing but shorts, rainbow suspenders and a tutu?'

'Well first off they put me in charge because you insulted my best friend and I was just as mad as her and her mate if you didn't notice, they decided I would not let you off easy. Secondly you must use muggle means because magic would be too easy, you really need some sense knocked into you. To insult a newly mated pair, you daft prick, you almost got yourself killed. While I hate your thoughts on things you are still my brother and I love you. That being said I am going to help you instead of curse you. By the time I'm done with you we will be singing showtimes and painting rainbows. And thirdly the tutu was my idea, you need some humility dear brother.'

'What's with all of the rainbow talk?'

'Muggle symbolism, it stands for gay pride.'

'Come on Ginny this isn't fair.'

'What isn't fair is what you put you supposed best mate through because you thought he put his name in for the tournament because you were jealous, what isn't fair is how you treated Hermione when you found out who her parents were a fact, need I remind you she had no idea about until then, what isn't fair is that you called her mate a slut repeatedly, and it really isn't fair how you keep getting away with things like this, hence your punishment.'

'Uuuugh I guess you're right I have been a bit of a git, how much longer is this going to take?'

'Well seeing as this is the first loo of 500, probably a while. You have been given permission to miss class until you finish, breaks only to bathe, eat, and sleep for 5 hours a night. Be glad you are alive after that last stunt you pulled. We are also holding back your mail till you finish, I'm sure when mum hears about this you will be getting a howler no doubt.'

'Oh Merlin, you told her!'

'Of course! Hermione is like a daughter to her. You better get used to groveling, not gonna ease up when you get home. So chop chop, you have me for the next two hours until Filch takes over, I hear he quite likes you in this getup.'


Crookshanks had been playing just outside Hermione's quarters. He was happily chomping in his pilfered catnip when he looked up to see a huge black wolf walking towards the room, Crooks eyes widened comically… dropping his catnip completely shocked…

Meow? Who are you big black dog? Rawr Do you have tuna?

Crooks? I can hear you!

Catnip thief?!

Merlin, that's what you call me…

Well yeah Glasses called you something else but I corrected her, she didn't know you steal my catnip when my stash gets noticeable …Since when did you turn into a big dog?

Two days ago

Can you change back

Yep

Alright, well I'm bored, gonna go sleep now

With that the giant orange fluff ball sauntered into his kitty door and she heard his snoring not 1 minute later

Lazy cat


After changing in her room, and some light petting and quick making out, Hermione and her mate made their way towards the astronomy tower. Even after it was spoken Hermione pretty much knew it was a bluff about sex being withheld for even a day, it would also hurt the Veela, being such a sexual being.

They rounded the corner and saw Harry standing overlooking Hogwarts grounds, seemingly serene expression on his face.

'Harry' Hermione softly said

He turned around, 'Hermione, Fleur it's good to see you again. Oh, I suppose congratulations are in order.'

'Thanks, I feel pretty lucky.'

' 'arry it iz good to see you again, but I will take my leave and let you two have zis conversation…' Fleur turned to Hermione

'My wolf I will see you when you are done, meet me in the carriage?'

'Of course' Hermione replied. Kissing her mate chastely. She watched her beautiful mate walk away with a little extra sway in her hips 'Merlin's beard she is going to be the death of me'

Harry chuckled at that statement. '…so you and Fleur? I didn't even know you were gay, not that I care, but you couldn't tell your best mate?'

Hermione smiled, glad at least Harry didn't care about her sexuality. 'According to my godfather it's in the wolf genes, destined from mystical powers and all that'

'And the other?'

'Well have you heard about petit louvre?'

Harry chuckled, ' well yeah, it's the best kept not so secret that some girl has been shagging and snogging almost all of the Beauxbaton females students and half of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff the year prior, why'

Silence

Raised eyebrow

Stare

'Blimey Hermione, don't tell me that's you.'

'Harry, you have to understand I was very lonely…and they were so beautiful…quite the great distractions…umm…one thing led to another…'

Harry full out laughed, ' so what you decided you would become a female Casanova?' Pausing and sobering up he added, 'Merlin, does your mate know!?' Harry almost screamed the last bit

Hermione giggled, ' Yes, it caused several problems, of which Fleur has rectified…thoroughly'

'I'm sure she has…' Harry smirked 'but seriously you know you can't do anything like that anymore, not with a mate.'

'Oh believe me I know, plus when you have someone as amazing as my mate why would you ever need anyone else? No, Harry I will never stray, not only is it not in my nature to do so, but it would physically pain me to do so.'

Harry thought this over silently.

'So I guess I'll begin with what we actually are here to discuss. My father killed your parents and tried to kill you.'

'Wow just jump right into it Hermione.'

'Ok, ok, but there are a few facts you need to know beyond these.'

'Like what Hermione?'

'So I'm guessing by now you know my mother was a shifter, a wolf, which is why I shifted and have a imprint.'

Harry nodded

'Well what you didn't know was two years before you were born my mother was pregnant with me. My father was still building his army and whatnot, but they were happy. My mother even trying to curve my fathers' more fanatical views. Well, long story short my mother was killed, and it was believed that I was killed as well at the same time. This happened shortly after she gave birth to me at the same time my father was called away and never got to see me.'

'That is really sad Hermione, and I'm sorry for your loss but I fail to see the connection.'

'Well it seems like your father was the one who killed my mother and took me to be raised by muggles, making even his fellow conspirators believe I had died. He didn't even try to find suitable muggles, just obliviated the closest muggles to where he randomly apporated to and added false memories so they believed that they birthed me. He fooled everyone, he also didn't tell your mother the truth about me. It was his plan from start to finish.

This great sense of loss my father experienced changed him. He was lost for so long until he found a greater motivator…revenge. Be bided his time, to plan to perfection. But when he learned your mother was pregnant with you he lost it. How could this man get to have a child of his own when he had ripped everything from him, never knowing I was not far away in muggle London.'

Hermione sighed, 'Yes my father killed your parents, yes it was horrible, but Harry your father did way worse. Ripping me from my mother who had just given birth, to a shifter it is a fate worse than death to not be able to protect their own cub. Your father let my father live with the guilt and loneliness for years, and he took me from my family, my mother which I will never know. Also Harry to repeat your father killed my mother. I do not harbor any ill feelings towards you, you are my brother and I will always love you as such. We have no control over our past, just our future. I really want you in my future. You are my oldest friend.'

'Wow Hermione, I never knew…Snape was right, my father was a jerk…I really need to apologize to him…uhh and to you old friend. This changes some things, but not between us, never between us.'

They hugged a deep best friend hug and only stopped when Harry heard a deep rumble

'Hermione, umm are you purring?'

'Well, um yeah, wolf thing.'

'Right, so I suppose we should talk about…'

They continued to talk most of the day away covering all that had happened. Catching up on what they had missed and clarifying anything that needed to be. Dobby had brought them food for lunch and were only interrupted when Fleur came to collect her mate for dinner. The friends made plans to hang out again, glad they could always count on one another. This definitely changed their plan on dealing with the Dark Lord. This impending war might not be lost yet. Things were looking up!

What the pair didn't know was sometimes things don't always go to plan, even the Dark Lord could not control every alliance…His pact with the Goblin king would crack eventually and things were about to get even more complicated.
