Elemental Love

Any character or place you recognize belongs to J K Rowling

Over the next few days Hermione noticed that Harry and Ron were being very hostile towards her. They had been her best friends for six years why were they giving her the cold shoulder? She confided this to Draco who was equally clueless. Finally Hermione decided it was time for her to take action so one day about a week after she and Draco had bonded she approached them.

"Hi Harry. Hi Ron." The two grunted. This angered Hermione. "What is wrong with you guys? You have been my friends for six years what have I done to make you angry?" Harry and Ron ignored her. Hermione's eyes blazed. She grabbed their hands and used her superior strength to yank them into an empty classroom. She slapped them both across the face. "Wake up boys! We need each other. We are friends how can you forget that. If I have done something to make you angry you have to tell me so I can apologize!" Now Harry's temper snapped.

"You had sex with a Slytherin that's what makes us angry! How could you Hermione?" Hermione slapped him hard, her eyes flaming, the air in the room was growing hot although Hermione, of course, didn't notice.

"How dare you." Hermione said in such a low and dangerous voice that the two boys cringed. "How did you even know anyway? There are so many things I want to tell you but I can't tell you when your emotions towards me are so unstable. If you even knew what Draco is like to me you wouldn't be this way. Haven't you noticed that he hasn't bothered you all year. He even just took it when you beat him up. You broke two of his ribs and he did nothing!"

Hermione turned on her heel and stormed out of the room. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped around. It was Harry and Ron was right behind him. They looked ashamed.

"I'm sorry." Harry said.

"We're sorry." Ron corrected him.

"We just never thought you would find someone that would be good enough for you." Hermione burst into tears and hugged them. The earth trembled. Harry and Ron backed away.

"What is that? What's happening. This is like the night that you-" Ron cut himself off. "What's going on?"

"Come by the heads' rooms later tonight and I will explain but you will have to deal with Draco being in the same room. Oh! I have to go now." Hermione again felt an urgent need to be near her mate.

Draco met her halfway and they embraced and kissed passionately making some nearby first years giggle. Hermione pulled away.

"Harry and Ron finally came around." Draco squeezed her hand.

"I'm glad." *She needs her friends. We all do in these dark times*

"It's all too true."

"What is?"

"That we all need our friends in these dark times."

"Mya I didn't say that."

"Yes you did."

"No I thought that. Is it possible that we can hear each other's thoughts. Is that a new result of our bonding?"

"I don't know. Let's test it." *Can you hear me saying that I love you more than anything?*

*Yes*

*Well this will certainly make things interesting* Hermione thought.

*You've got that right.* Draco replied.

*Come on. Let's go back to our rooms.*

*You do know this means we can talk any time don't you? Even in classes.* Hermione giggled.

*That will make it hard to concentrate.* Hermione thought and smirked. She took his hand and led him back to their rooms.


Lucius and Anthony roamed the halls of hogwarts in their disguises of two Gryffindor students who they had knocked out and hidden. Thanks to a bit of polyjuice potion they had the exact likenesses. When they saw Harry Potter and Ron Weasley coming around the corner they knew it was now or never.

"Hey Harry." Anthony (who was disguised as Ginny) waved.

"Hi Harry." Said Lucius who was disguised as Dean. "What are you two up to?"

"Hi Ginny, hi Dean. We're going to see Hermione. She's finally going to tell us what's up with you." Harry told them. Lucius smirked at Anthony. This is what they had been waiting for ever since they had gotten into the castle.

"That is fascinating." Anthony said and in an instant both Harry and Ron were on the floor, out cold. Lucius and Anthony felt themselves start to change.

"Perfect timing." Lucius whispered and ripped out a few of Harry's hairs while Anthony pulled out some of Ron's. Within minutes they were wearing perfect disguises of Harry and Ron. Smirking the two headed towards the heads' rooms.


At five o'clock there was a knock on the door of the heads' rooms.

"Who is it?" Draco asked.

*It's Ron and Harry. I told them I would tell them everything.*

"Oh" Hermione got up from where she had been doing homework next to him and answered the door.

"Come on in and make yourselves at home."

*Don't say that Mya they just might take you seriously.*

"Oh ha ha very funny. Now be nice." Hermione said. Forgetting that Harry and Ron wouldn't know what she was talking about.

"So are you going to tell us what has been going on with you lately?" Anthony asked. Hermione sat down on Draco's lap and smiled. Lucius' temper flared and he had to remind himself not to jump up and kill the mudblood.

"Yes I am but it will take some telling and you have to promise that no matter what your reaction to the news is none of what I tell you will leave this room."

"We promise." Hermione took a deep breath and began to tell her tale...
