A/N: I absolutely agree with everyone (that mentioned this!), Peter is not someone I envision Hermione with at all….In most cases, I'd rather kill him (except for those rare fics where he's actually a decent bloke!). Thanks for the reviews! (This is the chapter where the official soul-mates will be announced!)

"Are we going to talk about it?" Helga asked suddenly, reaching for her goblet. Her three companions ceased eating and looked at her.

Helga rolled her eyes. "Honestly, there's no point in avoiding it. We all want Ron dead and Hermione happy. What's the plan?"

Rowena promptly replied. "I've already dealt the vermin." Salazar smiled as he took a bite out of his lamb.

"Pray tell what horrors he'll face." Godric requested.

Rowena smiled at her friends. "Just keep an eye on him, you won't be disappointed."

Salazar stared at his plate, raking his brain for ideas. "What are we going to do about Hermione then?"

"The only way for her to be completely happy will be to have her soul-mates." Rowena stated.

Helga nodded in agreement. "However, both men are dead and twenty years her senior."

Godric snorted. "That won't be a problem."

"Yes, it will be. Their age difference will cause a problem, either she'll be more reluctant to be with them or vice versa." Rowena retorted angrily while Helga agreed alongside her.

"I believe Godric has a solution to our worries." Salazar stated, defending his friend.

"I do." Godric told them, cutting his steak into bite sized pieces.

"Well then, are you going to tell us?" Helga asked. Her eyes glazed with curiosity.

"Yeah." Godric responded, taking a drink from his golden goblet.

"On with it then, we haven't got all day!" Rowena barked.

"Honestly Rowena, you act like we're going to die tomorrow. You're right though, we haven't got all day. We have an eternity." Godric mocked her with a soft smile.

Salazar forced back a laugh when he saw his wife's expression. "Come on Godric, Hermione doesn't have an eternity."

Godric sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Alright. I'll tell you lot the plan."

Three pairs of eyes stared at him in shock.

"So…We're going to use a spell to bring forth the two soul-mates." Rowena stated.

"H-How are we going to do that? Godric, please explain. I mean they're both death, buried under six feet of dirt!" Helga ranted wildly.

Godric silenced her with a wave of his hand. "Calm down, I'm not completely stupid. It's an old ritual that's been forgotten through the ages-"

Salazar interrupted him. "Get to the point Godric."

Godric huffed. "Because Hermione and her soul-mates never consummated their bond, they can be brought back."

"I get that part, but how will that help with their age?" Rowena asked annoyed.

"Why don't you all let me fully explain?" Godric demanded.

After a trio of nods, Godric began. "The enchantment will call forth Hermione's soul-mates, but since they're both dead, the incantation will bring them back to life and make them the same age as her."

Helga stared into her husband's tired orbs. "How will they be brought back to life?"

Godric blinked. "It's more like they'll be transferred from their time to hers."

Rowena's eyes widened with shock. "Will that affect the time line?"

Godric shook his head. "Not at all, the spell will find them in their last few moments of life and bring them to us; everyone else will believe they're truly dead. They'll be de-aged while they're traveling here."

Salazar frowned. "Is it really all that simple?"

Godric nodded. "It'll take a lot of power, but with the four of us working together….it's possible."

"Wait! How do we learn her soul-mates identities?" Rowena brought up suddenly.

Salazar grinned. "Don't worry love, Helga and I already know that one."

Godric and Rowena glanced at each other and then back at the others. "So who are they then?" Godric requested.

"Sirius Black and James Potter!" Helga enlightened.

"Are you stupid?" Rowena exclaimed automatically.

"Huh?" Helga asked, clearly hurt by her friend's words.

"Sirius Black I could see, but James? He already found his soul mate…I believe her name was Lily." Godric commented, wondering how his friend and wife could be so silly.

Rowena nodded along with Godric's words. "I watched them every once in a while, there is no possible way for them to not be soul mates."

Salazar cleared his throat. "I thought so myself until Helga I cast the Versoul spell on Hermione. Her soul spelled out Sirius and James' names. I think there is more to James and Lily's story….but that's not significant right now."

Rowena glanced at her friend and forced out an apology which Helga accepted with a smile.

"When do we start that spell of yours, Godric?" Salazar asked.

"Tonight, we'll start tonight." Godric declared.

Hermione sat in an empty classroom with Harry.

"Can you believe that she's with Dean? Again!" Harry yelled outraged.

Hermione sighed as she rested her head in her hands. "No I don't understand it Harry."

Harry sighed and sat down next to her. "She said she'd wait for me, Mione. I-I don't like seeing her with anyone other than me."

Hermione put her arm around his shoulders in comfort. "Don't worry. Everyone can tell that she's in love with you."

"Really?" Harry asked, glancing into her eyes.

Hermione smiled at him. "Duh! By next week, she'll be at your door asking you out."

Harry smiled happily. "Thanks, I really needed this. Where's Ron by the way? I thought you two would be joined at the hip!" Harry chuckled.

Hermione frowned, something eating at her. "He had something to do. He'll join us for dinner later."

Harry looked at his friend, worry sketched onto his face. "Are you okay?"

Hermione exhaled. "Do you feel like something's wrong? Like things didn't turn out like they should have?"

Harry remained silent in thought. "Every once in a while I do. I feel like a lot of people should be here with us now."

"I feel like something's missing. I'm happy, but it feels wrong…and I have all these thoughts that make me doubt some of my decisions I've made this past week." Hermione clarified.

"What do you mean, Mione?" Harry questioned.

Hermione smiled at her best friend. "I'm not sure if I should've signed up for eight classes instead of nine." She lied effortlessly.

Harry chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry so much. I think you're doing way too much as it is."

Harry got up and left for the Great Hall, Hermione walking slightly behind him as they discussed their plans for the weekend. The whole time, something ate at Hermione's stomach. It got worse when she sat next to her boyfriend, who proceeded to pull her in for a kiss and then return to stuffing his face with potatoes. She ignored the perfume that surrounded Ron. She felt that she shouldn't be here, next to him.
