"Well this is my flat," Tonks said when they arrived "I know it isn't much but it is mine." The flat was nice the colours were not garish and did not clash with each other the living room colours where silver and blue which made Harry think that Tonks was a Ravenclaw even though he could not be completely sure as she didn't come over as incredibly smart but more loyal and brave like a Gryffindor.

"It is nice," Harry said "and I cannot complain living in the box room and before that a room if you could call it that under the stairs."

"I will get them all back for what they have done to you Harry," Tonks said "I promise you that there is no way that they are getting away with this."

"I trust you Tonks," Harry said "what are we going to do now?"

"Well I think we should go to diagon alley," Tonks said "the will reading is tomorrow morning so if we go and see the goblins now they may see us over the fact you will be at the will reading tomorrow no matter what Dumbledore says."

"Ok," Harry said "and we need to speak with Hermione as well I don't trust Ron at all because I trusted Dumbledore more than I trusted Ron and look at what Dumbledore has been doing to me with him controlling my life."

"I know," Tonks said "better yet we will go and see Hermione first and then we will go and see the goblins in the morning because I know Hermione will be safe with her parents."

"Ok" Harry said.

Hermione Granger was sitting in her living room alone her parents were both at work and Hermione was angry that for the second time in as many years she had allowed herself to be convinced that she would not write to Harry over the summer luckily she had been in control of her own emotions enough for her to turn down Ron Weasley when he had asked her out as she didn't know what he could be thinking if he thought she fancied him unless he had taken one, two many bludgers to the head when he was playing keeper for quidditch as all they had ever done was argue plus the fact that she had feelings for Harry even though she nagged Harry as well she didn't know why she nagged Harry, with Ron it was obvious he was an arrogant berk, Harry on the other hand if she didn't know any better she would think that magic had something to do with it.

Then there was a loud pop and Harry and Tonks appeared in the house.

"Harry," Hermione said flinging herself at him and pulling him into a tight hug and then letting go of him "does professor Dumbledore know that you are here?"

"No," Harry said "Hermione how much do you trust professor Dumbledore? I mean if I told you the blood wards don't work and probably never worked at all."

"What do you mean the wards never worked?" Hermione screeched "Harry that means you have been in danger all of the time that you have been at the Dursleys anyone could have turned up and killed you."

"I know Hermione," Harry said "well Tonks worked it out but we know."

"Oh hey Tonks," Hermione said blushing she had forgotten about the older witch when she had physically attacked Harry and hugged the life out of him.

"Hey Mione." Tonks replied grinning "how are you?"

"Not bad excited for my results more than anything," Hermione said "how are you two dealing with Sirius' death?"

"Getting there," Harry said "between you Hermione and Remus I have been assured over 100 times that it wasn't my fault."

"Good," Hermione said prodding him with her finger "and next time you start blaming yourself I am going to kick your arse."

"Me two Potter," Tonks said "so don't even think about it."

"Ok I guess I am sufficiently told aren't I?" Harry said

"Yes you are Potter," Tonks said "So don't even think about trying to push us away you here us?"

"I do," Harry said truthfully "I am willing to make changes after realising that Dumbledore has been doing something to me."

Hermione' heart leapt at this for years she had been wanting Harry to realise that Dumbledore wasn't as light as he had appeared to be after all he had tried to pay her to spy on Harry in her first year even though unlike Ron Weasley she didn't need the money she was also a loyal friend and she declined it was then that the headmaster tried to remove her from being Harry's friend yet Harry seemed adamant to be her friend even with all of the arguments they had such as the Firebolt yet it was more Ron that she had argued with which suggested she was closer to Harry than what Ron was.

"Harry," Hermione said "in my first year, the headmaster tried to pay me to spy on you; he offered me money and the chance to be head girl."

Then something in Harry fired up, the smart girl who wanted to be head girl just revealed in her first year the headmaster had given her the chance if she had spied on him, after the betrayal of Dumbledore he wasn't expecting Hermione to have betrayed him as well.

"So, that's all it took was it Hermione?" Harry said darkly "the chance to be head girl and you dropped my friendship for the chance to be powerful."

"No Harry," Hermione said "you have it all wrong I didn't accept the money and I told him that I wanted to earn the position rather than being given it, honestly Harry I wouldn't do that to you I would never want to betray your trust." It was then that she broke down and cried, she had not wanted to show weakness but she didn't want Harry to think she had betrayed him and taken the headmasters money rather than been Harry's friend.

"It's ok Hermione," Harry said "I believe you it was just you said it just after I told you the headmaster betrayed me."

"I know Harry," Hermione said "I don't want to make it worse for you but I think that Ron didn't mind taking the money and power to spy on you."

"That little shit," Tonks said before anyone could stop her "I always thought there was something about him I didn't like."

"How do you mean Tonks?" Harry asked

"Well I was at the headquarters yesterday and the Weasleys where there." Tonks said "and he seemed not to happy that you would be turning up soon but was happy to learn you wouldn't be at the will reading and Hermione would."

"Oh I bet he would," Hermione said crossing her arms over her chest "the creepy berk has been turning up when my parents have been out."

"What time normally?" Tonks asked

"10 minutes," Hermione said and Tonks nodded

"Hermione get under the cloak with Harry," Tonks said "and I will be you."

"Are you sure Tonks?" Hermione asked

"Of course," Tonks said "you are a friend of Harry's that makes you a friend of mine especially when I am guarding Harry so that means I am guarding you as well missy so get under the cloak."

Hermione grumbled and then got under the cloak and did as she was told, a few minutes later the fire flashed green and Ron appeared.

"Hey Mione," Ron said "how are you?"

"Not bad," Tonks said in Hermione's form "I just wrote a letter to Harry with some food, because he sent me a letter asking for some."

"YOU KNOW WHAT DUMBLEDORE SAID!" Ron shouted getting in Hermione's face not realising it was Tonks "YOU AREN'T MEANT TO SEND LETTERS TO HIM!"

"And why not?" Tonks said "I am not going to be told what to do by people like you Ron."

"You know," Ron said "oh I forgot you are actually Potter's friend, he is a rich, attention seeking prick and it is his fault you have that hideous scar on your body and why Black is dead."

"How dare you say such things about Harry," Tonks said and beneath the cloak Hermione was holding onto Harry to prevent him from coming out from under the cloak and beating the shit out of the redhead.

"Oh like he would look at a mudblood like you," Ron said "he is going to be with Ginny and you are going to be mine."

Harry growled at this and was about to rip the cloak off and kill Ron and Hermione reached up and kissed him on instinct to stop him and both of their minds went blank, they where kissing, Harry Potter was kissing Hermione Granger.

The charm that held the bond between them back was smashed apart when they kissed unlocking memories and events between the two of them from their minds and the magical backlash blasted Ron across the room and the cloak was blown off of them.

"What was that?" Tonks said staring in wonder at the two of them.

"I don't know," Harry said "we kissed and then all of these memories came out of my head."

"Me two," Hermione said "Dumbledore has been obliviating us since first year, we have a soul bond between us."

"Oh," Tonks said sounding defeated she had hoping that she would end up with Harry but there was no way she could break a soul bond between Harry and Hermione nor would she want to as she wanted Harry to be happy even if it meant that she would not be with Harry herself. "I am happy for you guys." Tonks said.

"Tonks please don't lie to us," Hermione said looking at the older girl "you are upset, why?"

"When I was little I kind of had a little crush on Harry," Tonks said "and then I actually met Harry and I realised he was a really sweet guy but I promise I wouldn't try and separate you guys what so I ever I promise."

"We know you wouldn't," Harry and Hermione said at the same time.

"Tonks," Hermione said "I thought with a soul bond you would be able to read each other's mind and things."

"You should be able to," Tonks said "why?"

"We can't and have never been able to," Hermione said "that means the soul bond is not complete."

"How do you mean?" Tonks said

"I don't know it will be something worth asking at Gringotts." Hermione said "can we go now?"

"Sure it will be open now." Tonks said and the three disappeared with a pop.
