Ron and Molly went to the Burrow first and then Minnie went ahead to Hogwarts in the floo. Before Hermione stepped into the floo she heard Bella say "Bloody wonder twins... Ruining my surprise" and then she was gone in a whoosh of green flames.
Hermione was still brushing off soot when Bella appeared by her side. When they finished brushing themselves off, Hermione turned to McGonagall who was stood with her hands behind her back and a sly smile on her lips.
"Minnie?" Hermione asked wondering what that smile meant.
"Well, I didn't want to interrupt the birthday celebrations tomorrow but I may have got you a little something."
"Minnie! You really didn't have to you know?" Hermione said self consciously.
"I know I didn't have to, but I did so Happy Birthday."
She held out a present wrapped in red paper with a gold bow, even wrapped it was obvious that it was a book.
"Thanks Minnie. I'm sure I'll love it. Can I open it now or do I have to wait for tomorrow?"
"Oh open it now dear, I want to see you open it!"
Hermione gave her a wide smile and made quick work of the wrapping.
Inside was a beautiful leather bound notebook the title as 'Quick Quotes Journal from the makers of the Quick Quotes Quill'
She opened it to find it completely blank inside, she looked up at Minnie for an explanation whilst her brain ran a mile a minute trying to work it out.
"It works in tandem with a spell, you trace your wand along lines of text and they copy into the book, it automatically copies the book title, author name and page number. I thought it would be useful for your N.E.W.T.S."
The girl ran into the headmaster's arms "Minnie it's perfect! I love it and it will be so useful, I spend forever copying out references. Who ever through that Quick Quotes Quill would bring out something truly useful instead of just malicious..."
"I believe the quill is only vicious when Skeeter wields it, Pet. Most journalists use them without hassle, the quill writes based on your personal style."
Hermione turned to Bella. "That makes a lot of sense actually. Thank you again Minnie, for my present, for coming to rescue me, for everything. You really have done everything in your power to help and look after me and I can never thank you enough."
Minnie waved her off. "Oh pish posh, you are my favourite student by far and everyone knows it. You earned that title fair and square, and now you reap the benefits."
"I was brightest witch of my age and I never got birthday presents, private chambers and permission to shag my professor?" Bella said disgruntled.
"Hermione doesn't get these things because she is the brightest, she gets these things because she is my favourite. Whilst she is naturally bright, Hermione works harder than any other student we've ever had, including you...as such... favourite."
"That's so unfair..."
"Enough Bells! Come on we've got an early morning tomorrow apparently and you know you're grumpy without enough sleep."
"Hey... I'm not grumpy if I'm sleepy!" She protested.
"No you're grumpy all the time!" Minnie interjected.
"Oh ha ha very funny..." Bella quipped sarcastically.
"Good night you two, I hope you have a good birthday Hermione."
"Thank you Minnie, good night."
Bella then suddenly changed tact. "Night Min, enjoy drinks... Sorry I can't be there I've got an insatiable birthday girl to see to." Bella announced before gliding out of the office leaving two rather stunned witches.
It was Minnie who recovered first and with a wicked glint in her eye said.
"Well off you go Miss Granger. I've got drinks and you've got a witch to sleep with."
Hermione flushed a brighter shade of red and left the office mutterings about rather facing Azkaban than those two teasing witches.
Bella had got enough of a head start that she was no where to be seen when Hermione reached the gargoyle, not that it mattered as they often avoided walking together to avoid suspicion.
As she walked back her mind drifted to Ron, whilst she didn't want him to end up in Azkaban, she was really worried about him becoming an Auror under the circumstances. At least she knew that they had to undergo quite extensive testing; physically, magically and most importantly mentally. If he hadn't done enough with his mind healer by then, he simply wouldn't pass and the situation would resolve itself. If he put in the work then why shouldn't he still get the job he wants, he just needs to apply himself and if he didn't or couldn't then he would never become an Auror. She tried to convince herself that it was a good thing that the altercation happened because it would force him to get the help he needed.
By the time Hermione had reached her room she had theorised around the possible outcomes so much that she had calmed herself down about the whole situation. She had kissed Ron before and it wasn't really wanted then so no need to get upset about this time... At least that's what she kept telling herself.
She walked into her room, they had made the decision to always enter and exit through their own doors to avoid anyone getting suspicious. She hung her coat by the hook, popped her bag and her present from Minnie on the table and then headed to their shared door.
On the window there was a note which read 'Don't come in yet, surprise remember. I'll open the door when I'm ready for you.'
Hermione rolled her eyes, realising that was the reason Bella had run off. She decided to pour herself a drink and get out of her jeans. She slipped off her shoes, decided to treat herself to a glass of her aged Firewhiskey and then headed to her bedroom.
She quickly removed her Weasley jumper, pretty sure than particular one would never be worn again but at least a new one would be coming soon and she never had to think of this one again.
She also swapped her jeans for a pair of black cycling shorts, she figured Bella's plan probably had something to do with sex and she didn't want to just turn up in her PJs so the skin tight shorts was a good compromise, plus a lot easier to remove than her jeans.
She then ran to the bathroom and gave her face a quick wash, hopefully lessening the puffiness around her eyes from crying. She gave herself a once over in the mirror and happy with what she saw she headed back into the lounge. The door was wide open now so she headed inside.
Bella's lounge was in semi darkness, only lit by a row of floating candles which led to the bedroom. Hermione happily followed. Hermione had thought of many possible options for her first present from Bella, all of the kinky and dirty... This she hadn't expected.
The bedroom was lit by more floating candles and there was music playing softly in the background, although it was an instrumental track she had never heard before; Bella was sitting cross-legged on the bed in red and gold lingerie but was looking distinctively self conscious.
"Bella this is beautiful but why do you look nervous?"
"Sit with me and you'll find out." She said but there was definitely still an edge of vulnerability.
She hopped up onto the bed next to Bella and took one of her hands in hers.
"Want some liquid courage? It's the aged stuff." She offered. "And there's no need to be nervous, you could have got me a pack of tissues and I'd be ecstatic because it's from you." Bella gave her a smile but did take the offered glass.
After taking a big swig she placed the glass down and turned back to Hermione.
"I had a whole host of things I wanted to say but with how tonight has gone so far... I barely had time to swap into this. But look just...here."
She passed Hermione a small wrapped present, Hermione was definitely a bit confused about how Bella was acting but figured she wouldn't get any answers until she opened the box. When she had got the wrapping off she was looking at a small jewellery box.
She wondered why Bella would be so nervous about a necklace or whatever was in the box but again she figured the only way to find out was to open it.
Inside was a beautiful White gold ring with diamonds and onyx stones. There was a note in the lid which read 'promise not engagement don't panic'
"Glad the notes there I was about to panic a little. It's beautiful Bella! Truly beautiful."
It was a very delicate white gold band in a wishbone shape, the diamond and onyx stones were tiny but shone in the candlelight. It was everything Hermione could have asked for in a ring, she never liked the look of the rings with the stones the size of a marble so this was so perfect for her.
"Will you put it on me?" She asked.
Bella looked shocked. "You want to wear it?"
"Of course I want to wear it silly."
"You know what a promise ring is...right? I didn't know if they had them in the muggle world."
"Yes Bells, I know what a promise ring is and everything it symbolises, of course I want to wear it. Muggles do have promise rings just so you know."
Bella finally broke into the biggest smile Hermione had ever seen on the witch. She picked the ring out of the box and brought it to Hermione's hand.
"So this is a magical promise ring, I want to tell you before I put it on just...so you know. It means that you won't be able to take it off, the ring would only be able to be removed if we no longer loved one another. It can be covered with a glamour but you would be wearing this for the rest of your life. Don't worry it will automatically resize if needed."
"Bella I never want to take it off, now stop making excuses and put it on me!"
"It also obviously means that I intend to ask you to be my wife at some point in the future, when we are both ready."
"We've already agreed as soon as you finish your three years you're making me your wife now stop staling!" She was practically vibrating with excitement now, Bella slipped the ring on and it magically sized itself to be a perfect fit, she felt the magic wash over her and when it stopped Bella let out a sigh of relief.
"It wouldn't have stayed on if I didn't love you would it?" She asked, grasping the situation faster than anyone else could have.
"How did you know?" Bella asked but noticeable less anxious.
"Because you were acting like a nervous wreck over a ring! Of course I would want to wear your ring so what other reason would you have to be nervous except if the magic did something else. If it would remove itself if I didn't love you anymore then it makes only logical sense that it wouldn't stay on if I didn't love you." She said smugly.
Bella laughed and gave Hermione a kiss "I love you, you bloody smart arse!"
"I love you too Bells. Now, I believe you need to get me out of these clothes because me and you had the same idea"
"The same idea?" It was Bella's turn to be a little confused now.
"House colours..."
Bella's smile once again broke out across her face as she dived on Hermione and quickly divested her of her clothes. Hermione was wearing an emerald green set which looked stunning against her skin tone.
"Merlin Pet, you look damn sexy in green..."
"I could say the same about you in red..."
Bella paused and her face turned serious "Hermione...are you ok? Like really? We don't have to do anything tonight, we can just cuddle."
"I'm... as ok as I'm going to be. It was a kiss, he's kissed me before, I'll be fine." She tried to wave off Bella's concern.
"Hermione, it's not about what you have or haven't done before. He did it without your consent and you are allowed to not be ok with that." She pulled them both back so they were lying against the pillows.
"I'm ok really, Harry was there so I knew nothing really bad could happen and you came straight to me, and Minnie. I couldn't ask for better protectors. I'm sure by the time you're through tonight I won't even remember by own name let alone what happened. Please Bella... I need this, I need you."
"Ok Pet, What do you need? Whatever you need." She stroked a hand down Hermione's cheek softly.
"I need... I need to completely surrender." She sighed "Bind me, hurt me, possess me. Remind me that I am yours in every way and that he will never touch me again. Please Bella, it might not be healthy but it's the best solution I've got. I need this. I need you."
"Are you sure?" She was definitely still hesitant but she would trust Hermione.
"If I'm not I can safe word right?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.
"You can always safe word sweet girl." Bella confirmed.
"Then I'm sure." Bella nodded. She vanished Hermione's underwear and with another wave of her hand Hermione was tied to the bed with her knees bend up and her legs spread wide.
"You do always look so beautiful when you're spread like this for me. I love the way you bite your lip and pretend to be scared and shy when we both know you are anything but. My own personal little nymphomaniac, my Muddy. Who do you belong to Hermione?"
She was still stood at the end of the bed but her words alone both soothed and excited Hermione.
"You Bells, I belong to you."
"I will never let anyone touch what is mine again, I promise you. If someone tries to touch you again what will happen to them?"
"You'll kill them." Hermione said it with no trace of doubt or worry, if Ron tried anything again Bella would kill him. She would protect Hermione from him even if it meant she had to go back to Azkaban.
"I will. Now little one, what to do with you..." She walked to the side of the bed, stroking a hand up Hermione's leg. "I can see that you are already dripping for me, you like it when I tie you down don't you Pet?"
"Yes." She managed to breath out.
"Good girl, I think we should see how much you can take tonight, what do you think. I know you can drive people into insanity with pain... Do you think I can do it with pleasure? I'm not sure but...shall we find out?"
"Fuuuuuckkk yes! Bella please!!! I need you..."
"Well then little one... Let's see just how much you can take!"
Bella crawled onto the bed on her knees and settled herself between Hermione's legs. She took one slow lick up Hermione's sex, said "Brace yourself, Pet" and then dove in with the enthusiasm of someone who hadn't eaten a hot meal in months.
Hermione was brought to the edge of an orgasm within moments, Bella really knew how to play her body like a fiddle and she was hitting all the right notes. When Bella added two fingers and began to thrust into her wet heat she was begging for her release.
"Bella please! Please let me cum!"
"Cum whenever you need to Baby Girl but I want to hear who you belong to!"
"I belong to you Bella...I... belong...to...ahhhhhh... You!"
As Hermione rode the aftershocks of her first orgasm, Bella was already coaxing her expertly towards her next one. Driving her fingers to hit the spot that drove Hermione mad.
"That it, such a good girl, such a good dirty girl. My perfect little fuck toy. Such a perfect little whore!"
"Bella please... I need to..."
"You don't need to ask tonight, cum for me...but it's not stopping Baby Girl."
Hermione's second orgasm quickly ripped it's way through her body, her back arched away from the bed. Bella gave her no time to recover as she kept up the punishing rhythm with her fingers, she gave her wand a quick flick and then placed the now vibrating tip to Hermione's clit, who released a low moan.
"Feel good little one?"
"Just bring it up just a...fuck! Shit right there! Fuck! Bella."
Her words were cut off as her third climax overtook her body, her whole body tensed and her hips lifted from the bed. Bella didn't remove her wand and Hermione was brought threw two further orgasms in quick succession. Hermione was struggling to breathe but it felt so damn good, she wasn't sure if she wanted Bella to stop or never stop again.
As she once again tumbled over the cliff she realised she actually couldn't catch her breath with her body clenching so hard. She panicked knowing she didn't have enough breath to safeword and tried to close her knees to stop Bella's attention.
"Behave, I've not finished with you yet!" Came from between her legs and when Bella looked up at her Hermione sent back a look of utter panic, shaking her head. Bella quickly withdraw her wand and released the binding.
"Hermione! Are you ok? Why didn't you safe word?" She said in a panicked voice.
Bella had quickly scrambled up the bed and pulled the gasping Hermione into her lap.
"Couldn't... breath... to... Speak." Came the breathy response.
"For God sake Hermione, we're bloody telepathic!"
- Oh...ye I forgot, I panicked
"You forgot? Jesus what happened to those brains of yours. Scared me half to death!"
- Hey you're the one who fucked my brains out...
"Literally it would appear... Feeling any better?" She softened realising that Hermione was ok.
"Much, both in a breathing and ...I guess mentally. Thank you Bells."
Bella cast a wordless drying charm on the bed then pulled the covers up over them.
"Now go to sleep, we've got to be up early in the morning for this stupid PJ party or whatever it is that Red has got planned. I love you Hermione."
"I loves you too Bells."
They both soon drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Hermione was woken to soft kissed against her neck. She grumbled and tried to pull the duvet up over her head but it was pulled back down again.
"It's time to wake up birthday girl. We've got things to do, people to see and most importantly presents to open!" The voice was far too excited considering the fact Hermione had only just woke up.
"It's my birthday... Let me go back to sleep!"
"Red will be here in an hour and a half, and you still need to have a shower, get into your PJs and open more present from me before she gets here."
Hermione reluctantly opened her eyes. "You really got me more presents than my ring?"
"Of course I did. I told you I wanted to spoil you and that I went a bit overboard, so I'm going to spread your presents out over the day so you don't get overwhelmed." The dark witch looked impressed with herself and Hermione couldn't help smiling.
"I should be really cross with you about how much money you've spent on me but I can't find it in myself to shout at you when you look so damned happy. Plus I know you were doing it out of love and not an attempt to buy my affection."
"Exactly it was all bought out of love...so you can't return any of it. Now come on Princess it's time for a shower... You stink..." She teased.
"Hey! I only had a shower yesterday..." She grumbled.
"Yes but then we had some rather intense sex and I got you all stinky. Now come on, if you get up right now I can have you in the shower..." As she spoke she backed off the bed and headed out the door with only her wand in hand. "Don't make me start without you..." She called from the door in her sing song voice.
Hermione reluctantly rolled out of the bed, grabbing her own wand and Bella's underwear set from the previous night before heading through to her room and into the bathroom.
Bella was just setting the temperature on the shower when Hermione came up behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. When she plopped her head on the dark witches shoulder she spied some new bottles in her shower storage all wrapped in black bows.
"What did you get me?" She couldn't quite tell from where she was stood.
"Well...seeing as though you steal all my good shower stuff, I got you a set of your own. It's everything I use, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and curl frizz Potion."
"I'll get to smell like you all day! Thanks Bells I love it!" She stepped in front of Bella and pulled her under the warm water.
"I thought you might somehow, I love you so much Hermione and I really hope you know that for me...this is forever. I want to spend the rest of my life spoiling and looking after you."
"I love you so much Bells, this is forever for me too. Although if you're going to spoil me this much I might need to get a job!" She laughed. Bella turned her round in the shower and started to wash Hermione's hair for her, using a liberal amount of her new shampoo.
"Why?" Bella was truly confused.
"So I can equally spoil you for your birthday, the only thing the golden girl doesn't get is vaults full of money."
Bella shrugged. "So I put your name on my vault. It will be half yours when we get married anyway. I've got more money in my account that this whole school could spend in a lifetime so please, let me put your name on my vault."
"Bella I can't just take your money even if you've got load, it doesn't mean I have to spend it...I'm not a charity." The last section was mumbled just loud enough for Bella to hear. Bella quickly turned her again so they were nose to nose.
"Hermione Jean Granger! I do not and will never see you as a charity case. You are my beautiful, clever, powerful soulmate who I would lay my life down for. And I know you're going to try and argue about it and how you 'need to pay your way' and you're 'not with me for the money' and a thousand other arguments but the best present you could ever give me would be the gift of knowing you are looked after in every way and have everything you could ever need. So please let me."
"Damn you and your logic, I can't argue when you make points like that! Fine, doesn't mean I'm spending it though!" She added wilfully.
"Oh it does! I'm getting spoilt for my birthday or didn't you hear? Ye.. my soulmate is really rich and she promised that she was going to spend it all on me because I'm so good at birthdays."
They shared a laugh and then she span Hermione back round and washed out the shampoo before applying the conditioner.
"So... You going to tell me what we're doing today? Because I highly doubt Ginny didn't tell you."
"Red wouldn't tell me any of her plans." She huffed "Even threatened her with detention but she wouldn't budge. All I know is I wasn't allowed to let you eat and that we had to sleep in my room because she didn't want to 'sit on sexed up sheets' but honestly that's all I know." She was nearly more peeved at not knowing than Hermione was it appeared.
"Damn. I really thought you'd have got it out of her."
"Me too Pet, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to use unforgivables on student..." She leaned in to let her breath tickle against hermione's neck. "Well not without a legally binding contract at least."
"Oh however will you survive." Hermione said sarcastically.
"Just coz it's your birthday doesn't mean I won't still spank your ass for being a brat!"
"Is that a threat or a promise?" Hermione asked huskily.
Bella laughed. "Both! Now head back whilst I wash out this conditioner!"
"Do I get to do anything for myself today?" Hermione asked as Bella applied the curl potion.
"Nope, not in this shower at least." Once the Potion was spread evenly through Hermione's hair she squirted out a pump of body wash into her hands and began lathering it all over the younger girl's body.
As she soaped up Hermione's breasts she peppered kisses over her neck, softly pulling on stiff nipples as she bit down gently.
"Fuck Bella... I need you."
"Already? My needy little Pet."
"Stop teasing! It's my birthday and I get what I want today!" She stomped her foot in frustration, Bella burst into hysterical giggles. "Hey! What's so funny?"
"I...oh... God Pet, you're killing me! You litrally just stomped your foot whilst having a brat attack. You actually pouted and stomped your foot! I'm dead, tell them to collect the body... I'm deceased."
"Bellllllaaaaa." She whined.
"I never thought you would turn into such a whiney brat on your birthday, Princess. You took me by surprise is all, god you're adorable. I'm sorry I'll stop laughing now. Do you need me to look after you, Baby Girl?"
Hermione just nodded and looked back over her shoulder at Bella with a pout and sad puppy dog eyes.
"Come here you numpty, it's a good job I love you!" She pressed a kiss to Hermione's cheek who instantly smiled brightly.
Bella wrapped one arm around her waist and with the other dipped two fingers between Hermione's legs and encountered a wetness that was definitely not from the shower. "Is all this for me, Pet? You really are desperate for me this morning. Don't worry, I've got you now."
She began to make small circles against Hermione's clit and whispering against the shell of her ear. "My beautiful girl, you are so sexy like this all wet and dripping for me. Do you think Red will be able to tell that I've already had my way with you this morning? Maybe I'll tell them, I heard your thoughts when I told them about our first... experience. You were enjoying the embarrassment, the degradation. I think the shame turns you on even more."
Hermione let out an almighty moan at that.
"Yesss, my dirty little witch. Merlin you're so perfect for me I could never ask for anyone better. My own personal filthy little Fucktoy my Muddy, Morgana I love you so much. You are mine, mine forever and I can't wait for the day I can tell everyone."
"Bella please...I need to... Please." Her voice was soft and pleading.
"Cum for me sweetheart, Salazar I love you so much Hermione." She said reverently.
Hermione's knees gave in as she came and Bella had to use her arm around the girls waist to hold her up. Hermione managed to regain her footing as the aftershocks took over and turned to cling to Bella.
"I love you so much Bella. So so much!" She then leant in for a deep and loving kiss.
When they came up for air Bella cast a wandless Tempus charm "Red will be here in 45 minutes; turn around, let me finish washing out your hair."
When Bella had washed out her hair and once again washed her body (although actually washing her this time) she gave herself a quick wash and then pulled Hermione out of the shower. Wrapping the girl in a large towel even when she hit her body with a drying charm.
"I'm leaving your hair wet so I can use some specific spells for your hair, it's a bit of a ball ache but as it's your birthday I thought it was worth it."
She lead Hermione over to the desk and sat her down, she split her hair into a few different sections and each section was brushed and then spelled. It took about 10 minutes to do and Hermione wasn't sure it looked much different to normal instant spell if she was honest, but she had definitely enjoyed being pampered by Bella.
"I know it doesn't look much different but this will stay perfect all day, no knots, no frizz; even if it rains it will still be perfect for about 24 hours. I thought at least then you knew whatever Red planned we wouldn't have to fix your hair for today."
"Ok yes, that's pretty cool, I wondered why you chose this spell over the normal one I love you so much Bells, you always think about what's best for me, even if it's not the easy option."
"Right show me to these pyjamas then... seeing as I'm not allowed to wear my own."
Hermione grabbed the two pairs off the desk in front of her, deciding to lean into her bratting today she handed Bella the red and gold set and kept hold of the black pair for herself. The look Bella gave her in response was totally worth any punishment she would get in the future, it was an image that Hermione would never forget.
"Nope, we're swapping. I want the black one and you can have the Gryffindor ones! I'm not wearing red and gold in front of a bunch of Gryffindors AND my nephew. Give me the black ones Mione..." She raised an eyebrow and Hermione caved.
"You know very well the black ones are for you anyway, although I definitely enjoy you in my house colours. Oh speaking of which I brought through your rather delicious underwear set for you to wear under your PJs...I figured you wouldn't want half your class seeing you trip over your own nipples."
"Oh you really are pushing it young lady! Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you can make comments like that. I also don't see you complaining about my boobs when you have your hands all over them but... We wouldn't want to traumatise young Longbottom now would we." Hermione passed over the Black set with the underwear and took her own set back.
Hermione rifled through a draw and pulled herself out a fresh set of underwear, a black set, and then slipped into her PJs finishing off with a pair of fluffy socks. She then stood up and passed Bella a pair of black fluffy socks to match her PJs.
"Now I believe I was promised more presents before everyone arrived which is in." She cast a Tempus charm. "15 minutes."
"Bratty and Bossy today, thank goodness birthdays are only once a year!"
"Brats are for life not just for Christmas!" Hermione quipped.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Thinking her girlfriend has gone insane.
"Oh shit ye, you wouldn't know. So there is charity that looks after dogs; strays and abused dogs that sort of thing. Well they run this advert every year that says 'Dogs are for life not just for Christmas' because often people gift children puppy's for Christmas and then come January the shelters are full because people realise how tricky puppies are to look after. It's not funny when you have to explain it " She pouted.
Bella walked up to her and cupper her breasts. "Don't worry these puppies are all mine...even in years to come when you're the one tripping over your nipples!"
"I love you so much Bells."
"Right present time! Come on its in the lounge." She once again dragged Hermione by the hand until they were in the living room where she reached into the back of one of Hermione's cupboards and pulled out a long thin box. She then sat them both on the sofa before handing the box over.
"How many things have you got hidden in my flat?"
"That is for me to know and you to find out. Now open your present!"
Hermione rolled her eyes but dutifully opened the box. Inside was a beautiful watch, blue leather strap and gold fixtures but the clock face was all wrong; instead of numbers like she expected it was a miniature version of the Weasley clock. There were no hands on it which Hermione thought was strange but there was various options such as 'at home', 'in mortal peril', 'traveling' and 'work'.
"Now before you ask me why there isn't any clock hands, which I know you were about to do, let me show you." She pressed a button on the side of the watch and a small metal pin poked out, she picked her finger on the pin and once a drop of blood had been absorbed by the watch a hand appeared showing Bella as at work.
"Bella... It's... Good Godric it's the best present anyone has ever given me! How many hands can it have?"
"Unlimited. But if you go above five then you will have to verbally tell it which hands to show you or set it to cycle through them all. I thought we could get each of your friends added onto it today."
Hermione could only nod and grin like a Cheshire cat as tears streamed down her face.
"How did I get so lucky to have you?" She mused.
"You put up with me torturing you, went on the run for a year, fought in a war... I mean the list goes on and you still only ended up with me. I'd ask for a refund if I was you."
Hermione smacked her lightly on the arm but at least the tears were drying up.
There was a loud bang at the door and Hermione knew it was her friends. She quickly dried her eyes and waved her hand to unlock the door.
"It's open!"
