It had been one month since the battle at Hogwarts, the celebrations had not come to an end. Kingsley Shacklebolt had been declared the interim minister of magic. Everyone was trying to reach Harry but he had taken to spending time alone with Ron at the rebuilt Burrow after madam Pomfrey had declared the trio healthy enough to manage on their own. Hermione also had spent some time at the burrow before going to Australia. The twins had thrown a massive sale giving away fireworks for free with every purchase at their store in Diagon Alley.

There were back to back trials, the wiznegamot was working overtime. The dementors had been convinced to return to Azkaban, but only a few remained, since a large number had been vanquished at the eruption of joy as Voldemort fell. They were now restricted to a high security wing with young Auror's and guards running the rest of Azkaban.

The only time Hermione and Harry had made a public appearance was at the trial of Draco Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy held two weeks after the fall. Their statements had resulted in a house arrest sentence for them including a seizure of the Malfoy fortune to be distributed as reparations to war widows and orphans. Lucius however was sentenced to the maximum security wing of Azkaban for life.

Three Days Ago

Fred cornered George as he apparated them away before they could say goodbye to Hermione "Hey! What's the big idea?! "

George just ignored him, but Fred had had enough of his silence "Why are you avoiding Hermione? and why are you making me avoid her as well? She saved my life George or have you forgotten that already?"

"It was blood magic that saved your life Fred… We don't know how it impacted us… or her or our lives…" George said

"And we're never going to know if we don't ask her…" Fred said "C'mon George it's Mia… she would never do anything to jeopardise us…"

"No.. she wouldn't but what if she Jeopardised herself?" George said seriously "I'm not going to be able to live with the guilt that I could do nothing to save you while she might have just split her lifespan by half for us!" He snapped and broke the fake wand he was holding. It feel to the floor as half rubber duck. "Besides it was blood magic! We haven't told mum about us anyway and she's probably gonna have a fit about it! Now we have to add a blood rite to the drama? It's just.."

"So you're angry at yourself and ashamed of us… why are you taking it out on her? You know she's gone to Australia by portkey last night right? Thanks to you, she's gone alone…" Fred said for the first time sneering at his twin

George sighed and sat down "I just… I don't know… the blood magic.. it was a line that you don't cross… it's as bad as making a horcrux…"

For the first time in along time Fred hit George… George hit back and soon the twins were having a scuffle on the floor of their little apartment over the shop. Fred and George's little scuffle had ended in them nearly destroying their little studio apartment above the shop. As they lay there next to each other panting George said "I fucked up…"

Fred rolled his eyes "Ya think?"

George sighed "How do I fix it?"

Fred sat up and looked at his brother "First of, you've never done anything alone in your life Georgie… so we'll fix it… together…" He said holding a hand out to his twin. George took it and stood up as Fred continued "First we apologise & then we propose… "

George ended, then said "What about mum?"

Fred looked terrified for a min then said "right… first apologise to Mia, ask Bill to tell mum and then propose?"

Geroge nodded and said "Let's start by cleaning up this mess first…"

Fred smirked and said "That I reckon you can do by yourself Georgie" and apparated away

George flung something at the spot where Fred had been a moment ago and smiled "Wanker…"

Two Days Ago

Ron had been feeling cooped up inside the house. "I wanna go to St. Mungo's to visit…"

Harry had been lying on the grass in the backyard reading the sports section seeing the quidditch teams and player ratings of the prophet "… Neville, Luna and the others… I know… we went last week, the reporters went nuts… I can't stand the cameras flashing in my face anymore Ron…"

"…. why not?! I kinda like it…" Ron whined

"That's fine… you can go… I'm fine here…" Harry said flipping the page

"Kay… see ya!" Ron said walking out of the barrier and apparating away

Ginny stepped out of the tall grass marking the periphery of the backyard "Hi…"

Harry put the prophet aside and smiled "Hey…"

Ginny sat down next to him "I heard your screams again last night… you could have given Hermione a run for her money…"

Harry's eye's got a far away look in them

"Wanna talk about it?" She asked

Harry sighed and looked at her with a soft smile "I want to forget about it…"

Ginny leaned over him and kissed him deeply, he had always been fit but the harsh last year had made him firmer and broader. She leaned into his chest as she deepened the kiss. When she finally pulled back and looked into his eyes he said "That helps… "

They spent the rest of the afternoon forgetting.

One day ago

The first week Hermione, Ron and Harry had been kept mandatorily in the hospital wing with Madame Poppy Pomfrey watching them like a hawk. Only Mr.& Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Fleur and Charlie were allowed to visit. Hermione had hoped that the twins would sneak in a visit but she was sure she had missed them since the three of them were being kept in charmed sleep most of the time. Once they had been given a dozen potions and deemed alive by the best Healer in all of England, they were finally discharged. Mrs. Weasley had thrown them a welcome back party but for some reason George had made sure she didn't get a chance to speak to the twins. She had been heartbroken. Ginny would have been the first persons to notice it, had she not been too preoccupied with Hermione & Harry's nightmares. Ron had missed the worst of it. Harry had been indie Voldemorts head and Hermione had been tortured by Bellatirx. Even thought the marks no longer remind, she could vividly remember the entire thing. Sometimes even the dreamless sleep potion didn't help.

After spending two weeks at the burrow trying to speak to the twins, Hermione had left to Australia in hopes of finding her parents. Mrs. Weasly was not happy about Hermione wanting to go to Australia alone but Hermione had insisted it would help her heal to say goodbye. She had allowed a three day portkey insisting that Hermione come back on time else she would send the cavalry after her. S

Hermione fond her parents and tried to undo the memory charm but it was too powerful and the risk was too high. Today she had gone to them as a patient and left with tears in her eyes. She had a lot to say and apologise for but her parents didn't even know who she was. As she got back to her room, she thought of everything that had happened in the span of a month and just wept for the longest time. Even she had no idea how much she'd been trying to hold herself together.

By the time night fell and she had to head to the Australian ministry to catch her portkey back, Hermione was feeling a lot better. She was happy to be heading home but a small part of her feared what would happen if she finally told the Weasley's about her parting private conversation with Madame Pomfrey.

Molly Weasley had prepared a feast, nay a banquet worthy of the gods, she had given thanks to Merlin and every other spirit she could think of that her family had come out of the war unscathed. Hermione was also coming home and the looks Harry and Ginny had been sharing had not gone unnoticed by the matriarch. She just hoped that Ron would get some sense and ask out Hermione, she would love to have her as a second daughter. In the spirit of good ol' fashioned matchmaking, she had even placed Hermione and Ron next to each other at the table.

McGonagall, Hagrid and few others were coming over today as well so the table had been laid put in the back garden. Even though the new rebuilt burrow's dining room had enough space, Molly Weasley had loved eating in the outdoors. She had decided that tonight would be perfect and on most days her temper was terrifying enough for people to not make scene. However, tonight was going to be far from it. A lot of people had a lot of different plans.

Fred and George had shown up by afternoon leaving the shop to Lee to take care of and announced that they would go pick up Hermione from the Ministry. Bill had seen Hermione's place card and moved it between the twins. Leaving an empty space next to Ron since he had requested Bill earlier that he would be brining a guest and to keep it a secret. Charlie had discreetly added two extra place settings next to his.

—

The best part of the new burrow was the space. The house was 3 stories high and had several rooms. Mrs. Weasley had insisted that all the kids get their rooms and though Bill and Charlie had moved out. She had redone their rooms just as she remembered them to the best of her ability for sentimental reasons. She was of course thrilled to have Percy back and while she had offered that Fred and George both get their own space, the twins had refused. Since Ginny was still the youngest and was not expected to move out anytime soon, she had been given a lavish suite complete with privacy charms on the windows and the doors.

Harry still bunked with Ron and Hermione was sharing Ginny's suite, but with Ron being out every night and Hermione in Australia, Ginny had been giving Harry a tour of the several features and special corners in her suite on a daily and nightly basis to help him forget about the war. Thankfully Harry knew Muffalito because Ginny had a way of screaming her appreciation.

Despite the cooling charms, their bodies were slick with sweat as Ginny dismounted Harry and roll onto the floor next to him panting. Harry propped himself up on arm and looked at her "I love you…" he said simply

"I know…" She smiled and then like the vixen she was, she rolled over and arched herself stanching like a cat before standing and saying over her shoulder "the question is how much?" As she walked into the shower leaving the door open and giving him a meaningful look. Harry smiled and got up to follow her in

—

Bill knocked for the 3rd time on Charlie's door and finally Charlie opened up in nothing but a towel. "What?!"

"Your guests are here…" Bill said with an evil smile stepping out of the way as two extremely handsome Italian men checked out Charlie who was now a deep shade of red that matched his hair.

Antonio smiled at Charlie's discomfort but Matteo stepped forward using by the doorframe with an elegant ease that could have only come from years of practice and said "You're naked already mio caro? What is it they say here…. At least buy me dinner first…" Bill was grinning from ear to ear

Charlie cleared his throat and said "Matteo, Antonio… how nice of you to be early for the first time ever…" Antonio winked and said "We were only trying to make a good impression…" "… and I'm so glad we did…" Matteo added the hunger now evident in his eyes. "Thank you for that… Bill, would you mind showing out guests to the parlour where they could have waited comfortably…" Charlie said seething at Bill "Of course brother…" Bill replied as pompously as possible. "Or we could wait here with you?" Antonio added flirting… "I will see you downstairs in a moment gentlemen…" Charlie said with warning smile that bared all his teeth at all the 3 men standing in front of him before shutting the door in their faces

Matteo and Antonio chuckled and Bill muffled a laugh behind his palm "You were right! That was hilarious…" Anontio said to Bill as they all headed back

Hermione hated Portkey's but they were truly efficient. As soon as she landed she signed and rushed to the washroom to empty the contents of her stomach. She washed up and sighed. She looked worse now than when she had gone. Closure was easier said than done. She washed her face to get rid of the fresh onset of tears that had followed the sickness. She popped a couple of magical mints in her mouth before stepping out.

Fred had been waiting near the arrival lounge, perks of knowing the minster, but they had been a few moments late. He was just about to enquire about her when they saw her step out of the washroom. She was shocked to see him there.

"'Mia!" Fred called as he swopped her up in a hug. "Come on this way.." The main entrance is swarming with reporters and paps… He led her through a corridor that came out the side before she could ask anything else he said "Hold on Mia" and with a pop apparated her to the brand new apartment that he and Geroge had bought that was minutes away from the shop.

"Fred! I'm so happy to see but where is George…" She asked breathlessly as they landed "and where are we?" She looked around to see George standing there.

"I am so sorry Hermione… for everything.. for what I said, how I treated you… I was arse…" He said his head hung in shame

Hermione felt a fresh onslaught of tears come over her as she closed the gap between them and held him tight. George held on to her like his life depended on it. "I'm sorry too… for using blood magic…" She said sniffling "… but there was no other way George, Fred was practically lost to us…"

Fred smiled at the two people he loved the most in the world and joined their embrace. "And we're sorry we let you go off to Australia on your own…" Fred led the two of them to the couch as Hermione curled up between both of them feeling a familiar warmth wash over her. George kissed her first and then Fred did to. She sat there for bit and spoke about everything that happened with her parents. The boys rubber her back and stroked her hair to comfort her as she go through the worst of it.

Then came the conversation, one all three of them were avoiding but Hermione brought it up "about the spell… that saved your life…" she said "It's not dark magic, it was a ancient wizarding marriage ritual performed at the henge. Typically the runes and chants were done by priests standing around the Stonehenge behind a privacy spell as the newlyweds consummated their marriage… It's supposed to be a bond that very few wanted to do because it binds us together not just in this life but the next for 7 reincarnations…" Hermione finished

"But how did it heal us?" Geroge asked

"It binds not just our souls but our lives together, making us stronger when we are together, it gives us the power to heal each other, and call to eat other if we are ever lost, it binds us in a way that all of our magic becomes a single thread that all of us are bound to, we can chose to share it with each other to restore each other… That day as we…" Hermione blushed and fumbled for the right words "… we… united…" Fred and George let out an identical snicker "oh stop! This is serious…" she said with a smile "Well, that day George and I both wanted nothing more than for you to live and you wanted us to be safe, so as we united, the magic moved to heal all 3 of us… curse wounds didn't stand a chance against the ancient blood magic and with you both being magically bonded twins, I suppose it magnified the power a lot more…"

"You're brilliant 'Mia…" Geroge said kissing her forehead… "… and I'd be happy to be bonded to a soul as selfless as yours for a 100 lives…" he said holding her tight

"What I'm taking away from this is that we are now somehow more powerful tighter than we were before…" Fred joked and gave Hermione a wink. This time she laughed, she threw her head back and laughed out loud as relief washed over her.

Fred pulled the scarf around her neck away and kissed her there, making her breath catch "I don't know about either of you but I have been dying for this…" he said kissing her deeply. George slipped his hands up her skirt as his fingers reacher her lower lip, his own lips brushed against her earlobe whispering "So have I…"

The kisses turned to moans as Hermione got a tour of the new apartment by being taken on and against every surface and piece of furniture, including the couch, the coffee table, the rug, the floor, the walls, the dinner table, the kitchen counter, the shower and finally the bed.

She bounced on their hard shafts as Geroge he'd onto her hips thrusting into her from the front and Fred rolled her pebbled nipples between his fingers as her breasts bounced with each movement. She clawed into Geroge's shoulders as she spilled all over him. His thrusts got erratic so did Freds. George sucked on her breast as Fed captured her lips. Sandwiched between their firm muscles she held infer dear life as they led her to the peak for what felt like the 100th time that day.

As they all came close the glowing infinity symbol wrapped around them and the finished together with sparks flying before their eyes and their bodies erupting with pleasure, the kind you can only feel when it belongs to three people together.

The collapsed in a pile of limbs on the bed and Hermione wondered if she should tell one last thing, but she didn't. Not until after they had all bathed separately and dressed for the dinner at the Burrow.

"Before we go, I have one more thing to tell both of you…" Hermione said stopping them from picking up the floo powder… The boys waited with identical curious looks on their faces. Hermione took a deep breath and said "I'm pregnant…"
