Tobias: Wulfric!

(No Answer)

Tobias: WULFRIC!

(Still no answer)

Tobias: Oh jeez, anyways, here guys I found her chapter thirty, and it's all done so here it is. Remember she doesn't own Harry Potter nor will she ever.

After the holidays when the students returned, Snape continued to be fairly civil to Harry, though at times it was strained. One night a week, Harry would go down to Snape's rooms with Draco, and they'd both assist in the production of the harder potions. Severus was shocked when he saw the talent Harry really did hold for this art, though no arguements that Defense was his true speciality.

Albus started helping Harry with his wandless magic, so another episode like the one before Christmas didn't happen again.

"Now Harry, think of the power instead of focusing on your emotions." Albus told him one evening.

"Granddad, how do I diminish and increase the power?"

"You tell me."

Harry mumbled, "I was rather hoping that you'd give me at least that information," yet Albus heard it.

Chuckling he replied, " Well, what do you think. I've seen you reading the theory, so you should know the answer."

"Um, hold back my magic?" asked Harry.

"Exactly. Now how do you do that wandlessly?"

Harry thought a moment before he answered, " By like, filtering the right amount that I need though?"

"Excellent. Now try it. Levitate the book."

Harry held his hand out in front of him and said, "Wingardium Levosia ". The book on Albus' desk slowly rose, and Harry had complete control of it.

"Very good Harry, but do you think you can control your power when you are emotional?" asked Albus.

"I don't know," said Harry seriously.

"Well, we will pick up on this next lesson. Now why don't you go spend sometime with your Hermione?"

Albus chuckled at the blush that creeped up Harry's neck at the mention of Hermione. Ever since the holidays had been over, the two of them were extremely close.

"Okay Granddad, I'll see you later tonight." Harry said headed towards the door.

"Behave Harry," said Albus out of habit.

"I will," came the reply back.

Harry and Hermione walked out and around the lake. The came to a spot under a tree, and began some slight snogging. Hermione increased the passion of it, until she was straddling Harry. Having her sitting on him like that was exciting him in more places than one.

"Hermione," Harry managed to get out between kisses.

She looked at him sweetly, "Yes Harry?"

"Um. I'm not ready for this.."

"What? I thought for sure you were, I mean, am I not good enough or--?" she said in a huff.

"Hermione, it's not you. It's just like I said, I'm not ready to go this far. Snogging is fine and dandy, but I don't want to go beyond that. Not yet," said Harry in a rush.

"And why pray tell is that? I mean, you are a hormonal teenage boy!"

"Because when I endured my grandfather's sex talk, I realized I wanted to wait, and make everything perfect. Not to mention I ended up with Gram's version as well. Please Hermione understand that I don't want to do this, not yet," explained Harry.

"Oh, fine. I need to go. I have homework. Goodnight Harry," and with that she took off for the castle, leaving Harry sitting under the tree. After sitting there for about ten or so minutes, he decided to head back up to the castle.

When he was almost to his grandfather's office, he decided he needed to talk with the wise old man. Upon entering he saw his grandparents playing a game of chess. Normally Harry would either sit and talk a bit, or just head to bed. Tonight though, he needed Albus.

"Granddad?"

"Yes m'boy?"

"Um, can I talk to you in private?" asked Harry.

Seeing the look on his grandson's face, Albus turned to Minerva and said, " My dear, may we finish this some other time?"

"Of course Albus. I need to go check in on the tower anyways. Goodnight Harry, Albus," said Minerva who then took her leave.

After she left, Albus and Harry settled in on the couch in the office. Turning to his grandson, Albus asked, "So Harry what is it you'd like to talk to me about?"

"Well Granddad.. it's complicated slightly. Hermione and I were down at the lake, " at this point he started blushing slightly. " And we were kind of just snogging a little, until she well took it up a notch."

"In what way, Harry?"

"She straddled me, and was wanting to go further."

"Oh." said Albus simply.

"Yea, and when I told her I didn't want to, she kind of left me in a huff.. what did I do wrong ?"

"Well Harry, looks like we need to have a revision of that Talk " Albus said.

a/n : I am so sorry it's taken me so long to get this pathetically short chapter up, but I've had a week from hell, so I deserve a little leeway.. I know it seems as though Harry and Severus being civil to one another came quickly, but.. Albus and Draco had become so annoying I had to make it happen.. I mean characters complaining both to other characters and myself gives me a headache after awhile.. Anyways, I love all of you reviewers and readers.. you guys are what made me remember that if I didn't get chapters out, that you'd all hurt me..
