Chapter 22: Chapter 22

A/N: new chapter here. All the reviews are very, very appreciated. :)

"He looks so peaceful." That was the first thing Harry heard the next mo

rning.

"Hermione..." he though when he realised who it was.

"Harry!" Hermione panicked voice came to him. Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes, he looked at Hermione she was wearing only his shirt. "Harry." She said.

"Yes 'Mione."

"We are not speaking." He could hear panic in her voice now.

"Of course we are speaking I can hear you and you can hear me." He chuckled looking at her with laughter dancing in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath in the hopes to calm herself, she ordered "Harry look at me. See I am not opening my mouth when I am speaking to you."

"But I can hear you."

"Yes so can I. Can you think something else?" Hermione asked him.

Harry nodded and thought about last night. "That is enough Harry." Hermione stopped him as she blushed and looked at the bed. She closed her eyes and thought of a possible reason "Wait a moment; I think I have about this, it's called telepathy. It is the transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between two people." she said. Her eyes fell on the bracelet.

"Your bracelet, you are wearing one too, right?" Hermione asked Harry.

"Yes, here it is." He showed.

"Okay, take it out." She told. He nodded and took it out and suddenly there was just silence. She looked at him and thought "Can you hear me now?" when she got no response she let out her breath.

"So it's the bracelets?" Harry asked as they were getting into their clothes, his bracelet lying on the bed.

"Yep." She nodded.

"So what do we do now, do you want me to not wear it?" He asked hesitantly.

"Harry honestly, I have nothing to hide from you and we can talk to each other even when we are with the Weasley's." she said rolling her eyes. She picked up the bracelet from the bad and made with wear it. "And yes Harry it was great." She said as she gave him a kiss.

"We should go and have the potions." He whispered, his breath mingling with hers.

"Yes, we really should after we don't want a repeat performance of yesterday night now, do we?" she said as she jumped and locked her legs around his waist.

"A repeat performance doesn't sound that bad." He said as he vanished the clothes with a flick of the wand. He lowered his mouth to her breast. He traced her nipple with his tongue, lapping at it gently until she dug her nails into his shoulder.

"We really shouldn't, we have classes." She said breathlessly as she sucked on his adam's apple.

"It's Saturday and it's a Hogsmeade weekend." He said gasping as Hermione roamed her hands all over his body.

"Okay, but today is my turn." She thought as she scraped her teeth over his nipple and heard him cry out her name. She looked at his face pausing a bit.

"No don't stop." Harry thought as he buried his hands in her hair, he under her and she above him. She traced her finger down the line of hair at the centre of his body. Her thighs touching his, she caressed him, coming closer and closer to his erection, but making sure she did nothing more than brush it. She slid her hands lower, and the taut muscles of his stomach clenched reflexively. She went lower, letting her breath hit him hot, hard erection gently. His hands came to her head, rubbing her hair. His breaths were rapid and skin flushed with arousal.

"I want to try something." She said as she hesitantly touched his erection. "Can I?" she thought.

"Only if you want to."

He felt like satin under her fingers. She lowered her head and ran her tongue up and down his length. "Oh! Merlin." He cried out in his head. This was her first time she is doing something like this and she wanted it to be right. Talking her time, she tasted him reaching between his legs; she cupped his sac, massaging it in the palm of her hands as she took him into her mouth. She sucked him deeper in her mouth without managing to choke, felt his body tighten as she worked up and down her length. She tasted a salty bit of his essence when she heard him "No more..." as he pulled away from her.

He pulled her on him and lowered his head to meet the kiss which was initiated by her. She took his jam in her hands and held him still as she traced the seam of his lips with her tongue, tasting him his hands on her back tighten but she didn't hurry or changer her pace. She slipped her tongue between his lips and teased him with long and short strokes alternatively.

Not to be outdone Harry placed her on the centre of the bed, flipping over. His hands made long strokes down her body, lingering on her breast. He circled he nipples with the tip of his finger. He then took the nipple in his mouth, sucking it and breathing at it making it go hard and erect. He rubbed circles around belly button before delving lower. His fingers separated her as he slipped into her creamy warmth but did nothing.

"Please." Her legs moved restlessly on the bed. He slid o finger inside her and rubbed her bundle of nerves making her go crazy. "More." Harry complied as he slid another finger and thrust it in and out. She arches into him, needing more. He changed his pace as he slowly thrusted in and out, driving her crazy until everything in her body tightened, her body clenched and called out his name long and low. She smiled at him and wrapped her arm around him making him come closer.

"You are beautiful." He said as his emerald eyes follow down from her defined collarbone to her breasts and down her flat toned abdomen to her long, pale legs. Harry waited until Hermione's body stilled before he pushed himself on his elbows to stare down at her. "You really are." He kissed her lips, cheek, and then lingered at the base of her neck as he savoured the felling he was feeling as Hermione caressed his back, scraping her nails in patterns in everywhere she could.

He lifted her legs and paused at her entrance of her body. The tip of him slipped inside her. She was so wet and sp ready. Her body tightened around him as he entered her. Her muscles tightened around him as he pulled back for a second thrust. Her nails dug deep into her skin and he knew she was close just as he was. He hurried his pace, thrusting deeper and harder in her. A couple more thrusts and he came inside of her. He kept going until she came a few moments later. He rode out her climax until she came down from her high, screaming. When they finished, Harry fell on her. He rolled over next to her, spent. "Whoa," was the only thing he said as he panted, sweaty.

"That was amazing." Hermione looked at Harry and thought.

Harry and Hermione didn't leave the Room of Requirement till the afternoon which only because they had to take the potion.

"Let go to meet Sirius." Harry said as he played the scene from Gringotts to Hermione, she nodded and took his hand, leading him out .

"Okay." Hermione agreed as she followed him. Harry knocked on the door and went into the room without waiting for any answer. They saw Tonks, Sirius ad Remus sitting around a table discussing something, something which was not at all pleasant.

"What happened?" Harry immediately asked them. He tried to catch Sirius's eyes but he kept avoiding looking at him.

"N-Nothing..." Tonks stuttered as she got up and wished Hermione belated birthday.

"That definitely is something." Harry glanced at Hermione as she nodded.

"No something has happened, out with it." Hermione repeated as she sat down next to Harry on the sofa.

"Okay. But you gift first." Sirius agreed at last as he gave her a present.

"This is from all of us." Remus added as Hermione took it.

"Thanks guys." She said quietly. She opened it and saw the number of books.

"Soul mates and heirlooms?" Harry read the covers. Hermione repeated the questions to them.

"Of course, don't tell me you can't hear each other's thoughts." Tonks said her eyes going to the bracelet which was visible on both of them.

"How did you know?" Harry asked instantly.

"Because James and Lily had discovered the same thing when they were in their seventh year." Sirius said grinning as Harry gaped at him.

"That's what you were keeping from me yesterday, why didn't you tell me then?" Harry asked his voice accusing.

"Because I wanted it to be a surprise." Sirius said rolling his eyes.

"And what about the soul mates stuff?" she asked.

"Well you know I am Harry's magical guardian so yesterday night I got this ministry stating that you both soul mates and that Hermione is betrothed to Harry. So what did you both do yesterday night?" Sirius said grinning widely.

"Nothing." They both said together looking away blushing.

"Anyway, so what happened, why were you so serious before we came here?" Hermione said quickly.

"There was another order meeting." Remus said his smile dropping.

"Were you called?" Hermione asked.

"Yes." he nodded.

"And did Dumbledore show himself?"Harry asked.

"Yeah and made us take the oath again."

"What did he say?" Harry asked as he saw the three of them looking uncomfortable.

"Is it that bad." Hermione started to panic. Harry looked at her and held her hand rubbing patterns on her palm soothingly.

"Well there has been another attack but the order members and the Aurors were able to reach there at time, so the damage so not that much. Dumbledore also thought that it will be a great idea that you both to be betrothed to the Weasley's." Sirius said dryly.

"But now that you two are already betrothed, so that's not a problem anymore." Tonks said winking.

"But be careful around the Weasley's they will try to convince you to be together or ask you to promise them about a future or may make you make an oath to marry them. Don't the moment it happens call the each other with the mind link and get away from the situation." Remus said seriously.

"That's all?" Hermione asked as she fingered her bracelet.

"Yes, but you I know this spell which will make Harry's bracelet look different than yours. After all you don't the same thing on both of your hands seen by the others do you?" Sirius said smirking. They both shook their head as Sirius changed the colour of the bracelet from Silver Ruby and Emerald to a band which was black in colour with a thread of Silver, Ruby and Emerald seen here and there.

"It looks beautiful." Hermione looked at the bracelet in pure adoration.

"We should be going, we have not seen the Weasley's since yesterday." Harry said uncomfortably. Hermione nodded and stood up to leave when Tonks stopped them both.

"You did take the potions which Sirius gave Harry before we came to Hogwarts, right?" Tonks said grinning, her eyes twinkling. Hermione gasped as she spluttered off while Harry looked anywhere else but those three.

"Now is a great time to leave." Hermione took Harry's hand and left the room as she heard them laughing at them.

"Where were you yesterday evening, today morning and today afternoon?" Ginny asked as Harry sat down for dinner that day. "Here we go." He sneaked a peek at Hermione who was in deep conversation with Ron but from the frown on her it meant that it wasn't going well either. "Same thing here too." Hermione sent him the thought.

"Well are you going to tell me?" Ginny asked him a little louder than before.

"Calm down." Harry said looking around him as he saw others looking over.

"Wrong thing to say." Hermione smirked as Ginny cried louder "Calm down, I won't calm down and don't you ask me to calm down Harry James Potter."

"What do I do?" Harry sent it to her panicking.

"Sorry, can't help you here." He heard a chuckle.

"Well." Ginny said as he looked at her.

"I am sorry. What happened?" Harry asked shooting a pained look to Hermione, whose talk was going much better than his as he resisted sighing aloud.

"I had come gone to the Head's dormitory yesterday because I wanted to spend some time with you but the painting said that you were not in, it didn't even let me in." Ginny whined as she attracted some attention.

"So?" He asked as he scratched his head.

"So, where were you?"

"I was in the Room of Requirement; you know planning for the next meeting we have tomorrow." Harry said with a little irritation in his voice. "Add me in that too." "Hermione was with me too, ask her yourself." He added quickly as he listened to her.

"Yes Ginny, we were discussing about the meeting tomorrow." She said to Ginny and Ron both.

"You could have asked me to join you; it's been so long we both have been alone and together, what about the last we both kissed huh." She continued her whining.

"Tell her you love her." Harry heard Hermione he shivered in disgust but when he told Ginny that he loved her he said the same thing to Hermione in his head.

"And what about today, the whole day. Where were you, I was looking for you in Hogsmeade?" Ron said now.

"Uuhh..." Harry started thinking how to answer to that question when Andrew slash Sirius came to the rescue. "Mr. Potter, Ms. Granger can you please come with me and complete the job you have been doing this whole day." He called as he stood right behind Hermione. Hermione jerked in surprise as she didn't hear him come up.

"Of course Sir." Harry replied immediately relief evident on his face.

"You were with Professor Andrew?" Ron asked surprise evident on his face.

"Yes, they both are helping Professor Tonks set for a duelling class she has planned for tomorrow." Sirius said.

"Why didn't you say so before? You should have told me and I would have helped you." Ginny said shooting a look at Andrew as Ron nodded. Harry and Hermione just shrugged.

"I will meet you tomorrow, I have to go okay." Harry told Ginny. Ginny tried to kiss him but hissed at her "Not in front of the professor."

"That was a close call." Harry looked at Hermione.

"I agree." Hermione nodded as they left the hall following Sirius.

"I saved both of yours ass back in there." Sirius said in a singing tone as they entered his quarters.

"He is never going to let this down, is he?" Harry said as he sat down on the sofa.

"Nope." Hermione said as she heard Sirius snickering.
