Time magic

*disclamier* I don't own Harry Potter or the characters.

I'm really sorry for the loooong wait for an update. It's just there is three stories in working on and well not really sure of how this one is going. I keep hoping it's good. Anyways this is kind of big because this is the start of danger for the two. If anyone find out at least. Let's hope the ladies can hid it to the very end but you'll have to keep reading if you want to know how they make it out.

The old mansion settled in silence eventually. There was a long period of time that love making could be heard throughout it in every room. Minerva wasn't very shy when it came to seeing the portraits the next morning. Hermione on the other hand was beat red passing each blushing shocked face of Minerva's family members. Her only deprive was the rooms without any pictures. The kitchen for one where Minerva was cooking breakfast.

"Mm that smells good." Hermione said entering the room and taking a seat. "I didn't know you could cook." Minerva spun around surprised to see me so soon I suppose. She kiss my check and turned back to the breakfast,

"Of course I can I don't expect you or Popin to do it for me when I'm here." That did have me curious though, who was this Popin house elf and why was she under Minerva's control if she was never really used.

"What does she do for you then?" I asked despite my love for Minerva I was still actively defensive on elf rights. A few scraps in the pans and Minerva sets down the utensil as she faces me to answer. She's offended I even have to ask.

"She cleans when I'm not here and lives as if it's her own home. She holds the garden because she wants a garden, she isn't a slave Hermione, she's worked for my family for as long as she has lived but I swore to her she shall be paid for her work when she came under my care." She knew very well Hermione's point of view on this argument one which she had always shared. Hermione looked satisfied with this and sat with a smile. Minerva was worried that this moment wouldn't go as it was which is why she woke up early. She was very afraid her lover would realize this was all a mistake to much to soon for them.

Hermione was truly an amazing person if she was willing to share a child with Minerva at least that what she thought, Hermione simply thought she was the luckiest woman alive. Yes she was also frightened but deep down she knew Minerva cared for her more than this child and it was just a change in circumstances. Circumstances were getting harder harder to believe when after so long of not trusting anyone is followed but needed and wanting to trust the one person telling her she had to keep it hidden.

All she wanted to do was have a easy year with no stress. This was more stress than she wanted after being on the run for a year, killing the dark lord, and then there was surviving her last year of school living with students looking to grind her reputation in the dirt or build one off of hers. Being in love and baring a child she always imagined as stressful but easier to bare with someone who cared about you. With that in mind she looked to Minerva and wondered if this was all exactly as she said or if she was putting her last bit of trust in dangerous waters. Subconsciously a hand shifts over her stomach. Minerva sees this and find the sight pleasant enough to want to remind herself to save the memory later. She has a smile on her face as she decide to sit next to her lover to assure her and comfort her in what she knew must be a hard moment.

"Hermione I really do love you I just need you to trust me." She says softly making Hermione want to do just that.

"How come I can't tell anyone? How come you're so okay with this?" Hermione asks slightly panicked still. She didn't want to sound so broken so weak but she couldn't help but have no walls with Minerva.

"Because my love my family has enemies. Real ones that will be angry enough to that I've gotten younger if they were to find out I have and heir to the family name they would want to stop at nothing to tear this family apart."

"So they can have what it's not like they can have your name."

"No but being one the most ancient powerful family in wizarding world has its own lure. With my family name being almost extinct the next in line will feel cheated. They won't have the fame mine has until I died but now it's not only my life at risk but yours and our child's." That made plenty of sense to Hermione. She had to admit She slightly over reacted but Minerva would hear none of it. She just want Hermione to know what She was getting into bed with and quite literally.

"So who should I be worried about. Like the Malfoys or something?"

"Worse. The bindlewatts is before them and even still that's just fifth in line." Hermione gasps but Minerva quickly rubs small circles on her back to calm her. "It's the first two families we have to watch for the Rosenburg clan which is a large family in London but you really have watch out for the Béhar clan in Spain they are the first ones in line."

Hermione sighs and takes a deep breath feeling a little at ease that they are not close by and probably don't know where Minerva lives. The way Minerva's voice shook though mentioning the Béhar family made her worry about how strong they were even if she believed Minerva was stronger. She pulled Minerva close so lay behind her and hold her.

"Please don't go, just hold me, and never disappear on me." She hears a faint never mumbled into her hair as Minerva does as she asks. She promises but in her head she swear to do whatever it takes to keep Hermione safe even if that means the worst and breaking that promise. For now thought she assures her nothing is going to happen. Hermione can't stop worrying she will have to once again go into hiding and lose another year but she doesn't have enough energy to battle her emotions and stay in Minerva's warm embrace without succumbing to the sleep she very much so needed after learning all she has today.

Minerva can feel her lovers breaths even out. She holds on a few more minutes before retracting herself so she might call Popins once more now that Hermione was resting and give her her full list of duties. When returning to hogwarts it would be necessary for her to have everything taken care of. It only took an hour or so to get everything finalized after which she turned her attention back to her lover. She realized she was sleeping on the couch and instantly moved her to their shared room deciding to rest with her until they caught up after such an exhausting long day that had one to many emotional roller coasters going on.

It was a few minutes after letter herself curl up next to Hermione's that they both slept for the rest of the day and night. It was close to midnight when Popins and the other free elves did the daily night cleaning of the house. Most of them wishing to sneak a peak at the new misses bringing an heir to the family. The joy on Minerva's sleeping face and peace on Hermione's face brought about a oath within the elves. They swore to not let any harm befall their mistress or their mistresses lover and unborn child. It was an old magic at work that not any wizards knew about but they all sincerely cared for their mistress and wanted nothing to happen to her because they were like family now.

The two sleeping woman still dead asleep as they bound themselves to them in a service of protection. No one knew thought just how important this secret oath would be in the weeks or months to come.

Reviews please!

So I have no idea where the last part came from but I think it would be useful. Let just say Minerva isn't kidding about needing to worry.

I swear next chapter the wait won't be so long.
