style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>A/N: Thanks so much for your reviews, I never thought that you would
like it that much.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>***
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He was slowly caressing her back, drawing patterns with his fingers. She
was lying on her stomach, her head turned to the opposite side of where he was,
and was enjoying his soft touch with her eyes closed.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Harry?” She said suddenly and realized he must have thought she was
sleeping, because he stilled his movements when he heard her voice.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Yes?” He said after a few seconds of silence. His voice sounded a little
thick, after all it was the first time he used it in hours.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Do you think this is strange?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She didn’t turn around to look at him in the eye when she asked him
that. She knew she was breaking some unspoken pact between them, the one that
said they shouldn’t talk about it when they were in bed, but she really needed
to know.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>A long silence followed, and Hermione was sure he wouldn’t answer at
all, until his hand resumed his caressing and he asked softly. “What do you
mean?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione couldn’t help but smile against the pillow. He was playing
innocent again. “I mean that it’s not normal that two best friends start
shagging all of the sudden and don’t even talk about the consequences.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>His finger traced her spine, up and down. “I don’t think it’s strange,”
he said, finally.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She wasn’t sure what to make out of that answer. “Aren’t you afraid that
this will destroy our friendship?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Suddenly, he felt his breath on her ear. He had pulled her closer,
forcing her to lay on her side, her back still to him. His wandering hand moved
from her back to her hip, where he started tracing patterns again. “I knew you
wouldn’t last very long without trying to analyze this,” he said, sounding
amused.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione shuddered at the feeling of his body pressed to hers, but forced
herself to remain composed. She was finally making him talk a little. “I really
want to know what you’re thinking, Harry.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He moved her until she was laying on her back, and grabbed her face so
she would look at him in the eyes. They stared at each other for a moment,
Hermione feeling more naked than ever under his penetrating gaze. He leaned
down and softly caught her lips in a slow, drugging kiss that left her panting.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Okay, let’s play a game,” he said.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She looked at him with raised eyebrows, and he chuckled. “You want to
ask questions, don’t you?” He slowly moved his hand from her hip to her legs,
and then up her inner thigh, until he was very close to where she wanted him.
“I’ll make a deal with you,” he continued, moving a finger between her folds
and Hermione wiggled her hips unconsciously. “You can ask me whatever you want,
and I’ll answer with the truth, until I make you come. That’s all the time you
have. Then, it’ll be my turn.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione couldn’t believe that he was suggesting her that, but the ache
she was starting to feel between her legs, added to her curiosity, convinced
her quickly. She count up to three to summon all her will and nodded.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Only with your hand,” she said, knowing that if he used his mouth she
wouldn’t stand a chance.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Fine, then I’ll add a condition too. I can pass three questions if I
want.” His hand was tracing her outer lips, and she felt powerless to argue.
When he was sure she had agreed, he started moving his finger a little faster,
but not penetrating her yet.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“That night... the first time we did it,” Hermione said, trying to focus
and forget the urge to grab his wrist and force him to finger-fuck her
properly. “Why did you start kissing me in the first place?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He slipped one finger inside her, and she moaned softly. “I don’t know.”
She glared at him, and he smiled a little. “It’s the truth. I don’t know what
got into me. I just... needed it.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Did you think that we would end up like we did?” she said, rocking her
hips a little.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“No, I wasn’t thinking much that night.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Do you regret it?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Obviously not,” he said, brushing her clit and enjoying how she
squirmed.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Did you regret it at least for a second after it happened?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He took longer before answering this time. “Yes.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“But still, you went to my bedroom a second...oh... t-time.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Yes,” he said again, moving his finger insider her warm sheath and
making it harder to concentrate.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Why?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Because I needed it.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“You needed a shag.” It was more of a statement than a question.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I needed you,” he said, and didn’t add anything else. Instead, he added
a second finger, making Hermione forget momentarily about what she was talking
about.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Why me? You could...oh God...
have any girl you w-wanted for this.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Anyone else would make it too complicated.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She stared at him blankly, her pleasure subsided for a moment. “So I’m
the easy way out?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Harry returned her gaze, and the movement of his fingers became a little
more frantic. “I didn’t say that. It’s simpler with you because I’ve known you
for so long, that I think we can have this without asking for anything else. We
don’t have to expect anything from the other because we are already one of the
most important people in each other’s life.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione knew that later she would have to analyze what he had said, but
at the moment her rational side was being clouded by the wonderful sensations
she was feeling. She knew she was close, but was trying to fight the orgasm
with all her might.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“What if you, or I, meet someone? What will happen with this?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Harry brushed her clit again, this time a little harder. “Then we won’t
need each other in this way anymore, right? We’ll be back to what we were
before.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“You think that’s possible?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He didn’t answer and instead started rubbing her mound.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“What happened to your hand?” she asked, remembering how he had arrived
home with a bandage that night it had all started. He had removed it now, but
she had noticed that his skin looked red, as if it had been burnt.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>His pace was increasing rapidly. “I had a situation at work,” he answered.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“What situation? What exactly are you investigating?” She was about to
lose it, but she needed his answer.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I pass,” he said, inserting a third finger.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Does... this situation have.... to do with what.... happened between
us?” she asked, now panting heavily.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Maybe.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She let out a loud moan, her hips rocking against his hand. “Why have
you become so cold towards everyone?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>This question seemed to take him off guard. He stopped his movement
abruptly and stared at her with an unreadable expression. She returned his gaze
with decision, but didn’t stop moving her hips, hoping that would make him
remember their little game.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>After a moment, he resumed his task, and this time Hermione was sure he
wanted the questions to stop, because he started pinching and twisting her clit
until she was positively squirming.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I don’t have an answer for that question,” he said.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Will we ever talk about this again?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“No.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Her next question was lost when her orgasm hit her and she cried softly
her release. It was a bizarre experience, almost bittersweet, but she couldn’t
help the joy that surrounded her. Harry waited until she calmed down before he
climbed back to the bed, next to her and kissed her deeply.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Your turn,” he hissed.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione reached down and wrapped her hand around his erection. She
stayed where she was, so she could look at him in the eye while he asked her.
Her fingers moved as slowly and softly as he had started with her.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Why did you accept me that night?” he asked, closing his eyes for a
moment and then opening them again.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Because I wanted to.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Why?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I don’t know. I guess I got caught in the moment. Maybe I needed it,
too.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Those days you avoided me... Were you regretting what happened?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Not really regretting... I was confused. I didn’t know what you
wanted.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She was stroking him a little faster now, occasionally rubbing the tip
of his cock before returning to the base. By the look in his eyes, he was
starting to have trouble keeping his head clear.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Then what made you change your mind?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She thought about it for a second. “I’m not sure. I stopped trying to think
rationally for once and did what I wanted, no matter the reasons for it.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He thrusted his hips into her hand. “So are
you okay with this? Not talking about it, not expecting anything from it beside
what it is?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Yes.” Her strokes got harder.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Then will you let me fuck you now?” He asked, grabbing her wrist to
force her to stop. She was surprised at his choice of words, but was too turned
on to complain. She nodded silently and let him put her leg over his hip. They
were facing each other when he thrusted into her.
They both moaned.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“This is the last time we’ll talk about this,” he warned her, and then
started moving with hard, deep strokes. His hand went to her
long, and when he spent himself inside her, she realized that she liked how
things were now and didn’t want them to change.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>And that’s how it had started. During the day, they acted as usual.
Hermione was surprised that what they did at night didn’t affect their routines
nor the way they talked to each other. She was sure that no one would be able
to tell that there was a difference in their relationship, and she was glad
that they were still best friends, no matter what.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>At night, it was a different thing. Sometimes it was something mutual,
they just looked at each other and were soon shagging their brains out. Other
times, it was one of them who looked for the other’s company, and the other
never refused it. He sneaked into her bed in the middle of the night a lot more
than she did, but she never said no to him. Sometimes she could sense that his
need for her went beyond wanting a physical release. It was as if he needed her
to confirm he was alive, that he was human, that he had someone who cared for
him. She was dying to know what was going on in his head at those times, but
their rule of gold had been settled: no talking.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione had never really considered her a sexual person, but with Harry
she lost all sense of inhibition. As long as it was during night, they would do
it wherever the need found them, wether it was in a
bedroom, the shower or in front of the fireplace.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>There was another reason why she loved what was happening between them
that had nothing to do with how good her body felt... The Harry that she saw at
night resembled the boy she had met all those years ago, the one that had
become her best friend a lot more than the man that everyone else saw. In the
bedroom, he was quiet and passionate, and above all very giving: he never let
himself climax until she had reached her own. Also, he seemed less troubled and
his eyes lost that haunted expression they carried now all the time.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Their agreement was perfect.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:

EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione sighed while she took off her white hospital robes. It had been
an exhausting day and all she wanted was to get home soon. She scrambled in the
papers that someone had let on her desk, planning to leave the reports for
tomorrow when a blue envelope caught her eye.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Not another one,” she muttered to herself and opened it.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>It was just like the other ones she had been getting for the past five
months. Anonymous threats. This one had nothing original in it, the usual “you
can’t get away from me” message. At first, she had regarded them as a joke, but
after her house had been burnt, she wasn’t so sure anymore.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Although when that accident had happened she had told Harry about the
messages, she didn’t tell them about the ones she’d been getting lately. She
was afraid that Harry would become obsessed with finding the one behind them
and she was too worried about his actions of lately to bother him with even
more. Besides, she could take care of herself, she always had.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She put the envelope with the others, in a secure drawer in her desk and
decided to go home right away. Even if she was used to the cryptic messages,
she couldn’t help but feel a little jumpy after getting them. She only hoped
that Harry was already home so he would make her feel safe.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>As soon as she opened the door, she heard voices. One was Harry’s, and
the other was unmistakably Ron’s. Hermione closed the door softly and caught a
piece of their conversations.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I’m telling you, she’s seeing someone,” Ron was saying.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Why do you think that?” Harry asked. He didn’t seem very interested,
Hermione thought.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I can’t believe it, you live with her and haven’t noticed anything?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>So they were talking about her. Hermione stayed where she was, wanting
to hear what else Ron would say.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“What am I supposed to notice?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Well, Hermione is not stupid, if she’s having a secret affair she won’t
bring the bloke here,” Ron continued. “But I’m sure she’s been with someone.
The other day, at the Burrow, Fred and George told me that they had spotted a
hickey in her neck.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>Hermione could distinctly hear that Harry had choked a little. She blushed
furiously.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“A what?” Harry managed to blurt.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“A hickey. And I know that Fred and George aren’t a reliable source, but
Ginny told me the same thing. Now I really want to know what kind of bastard
she’s dating that would do something so disgusting to her.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Ron, please,” Harry said, gravely. “Hermione is a big girl, leave her
alone.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“But Harry!” Ron protested. “You should help me to find out who he is!
What if he’s not good enough for her?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>If only he knew, thought Hermione, shaking her head. She couldn’t
believe she had been so careless as not to check herself for marks.... She
hoped that Mrs. Weasley hadn’t noticed, she didn’t
want to explain to her how she had gotten a hickey on her neck. It was all
Harry’s fault.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She didn’t feel like facing Ron now, he was probably going to ask her
until he got an answer, so she passed through the living room as swiftly as she
could, relieved that Ron was still talking and didn’t heard her. She went to
her room and prepared for bed. She didn’t know if Harry would come that night,
but if he wanted something from her, he knew he would have it.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She didn’t realize when she fell asleep, but she was waken up in the
middle of the night when the bed’s weight shifted and she felt Harry’s warm
body accommodating next to hers. He wrapped his arms around her and didn’t say
anything.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Ron’s gone?” she mumbled.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Yeah. I hope you weren’t too embarrassed about what Fred, George and
Ginny saw...”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She didn’t miss the amused tone of his voice.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“If I wasn’t so tired, I would hex you, you know?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“I know,” he said, and kissed her shoulder. “You’re lucky Ron was too
engrossed making up his theory about your secret affair to notice how you passed
running though the hallway.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“So you saw me.” She figured he had spotted her.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Of course. I heard you when you opened the front door.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“What else did Ron say?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“That you probably weren’t coming home tonight to spend it at your
boyfriend’s and that you were really going off track. Oh, and he also said that
I should try to get something out of you.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>They both laughed. Hermione’s heart swelled when she heard him, it had
been so long since she’d heard him show a little happiness. His hand found hers
and they intertwined their fingers.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Do you think Ron still has a thing for you?” Harry asked suddenly. His
question surprised her, and she didn’t feel so sleepy anymore.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Would you care if he did?” she asked quietly.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Do you always answer a question with another one?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Look who’s talking.”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>A silence followed. Hermione knew how stubborn Harry could be, and if
she didn’t answer, he wouldn’t, either. She felt his breath tickling the back
of her neck, and was aware that his hands weren’t holding hers anymore, but
instead caressing her waist under her pajama shirt.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Ron was the first to realize that things didn’t work between us in that
way,” she said finally. “He moved on, didn’t he? He’s going out with Luna now,
and I think he’s quite serious about her.” Harry continued his ministrations,
waiting for her to say something else. “He’s just being his usual jealous
self.... Are you asking this because you’re feeling guilty?”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“Guilty?” he repeated, his hand moving dangerously closer to her breast.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>“If Ron still had a thing for me, it would make you feel guilty, right?
This thing we have...”
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>But it seemed that they had shared enough words for the night. Hermione
understood that Harry wouldn’t say anything else when he put his hand under her
chin, made her face him and kissed her deeply. Hermione returned them with
equal passion, their hands moving on their own to feel the other’s skin. It
wasn’t the first time that she got so distracted by his touch and his kisses
that she didn’t realize when Harry had removed her clothes and had her naked
under him.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She didn’t want to be the only one so exposed, but she was powerless to
do anything. She was under his control, which was weird, because she didn’t
really like to be dominated in any aspects, but she found she didn’t mind when
it was with him. She trusted him that much, and wanted to make him happy.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>He kissed her breasts and at the same time did his best to remove his
pants without having to pull away from her. She helped him with the shirt, and
as soon as she had him as she wanted she circled his nipples with her fingers,
eliciting a moan from him. Harry responded by sucking harder on her right
breast. He seemed to have become impatient, she could tell by the way that his
fingers were probing her entrance to see if she was ready for him.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"MS Reference Sans Serif";mso-ansi-language:
EN-US'>She wrapped her legs around his waist, and he got the message. He
entered her swiftly, forcing her knees to open wider to give him more space.
They rocked against each other in a rhythm that they’d perfected with the
practice. Soon, Hermione forgot all about Ron and got lost in the pleasure and
relief that Harry was giving her.
