Family Heirlooms (Edited/complete)

Chapter Six



Harry and Hermione made their way into the house in silence. Harry sat down on the couch and just stared into space. Hermione went into the kitchen and got him some tea. He quietly drank his tea then sat it down with a soft clink. “I’ve got to go and get my mother’s ring. I’ll be right back.” He said softly, still staring into space. He got up without another word and started to walk back to the fireplace. Hermione grabbed him and spun him around to face her. She brought his lips down to hers and kissed him with all the love that she felt for him. Harry immediately responded to her and kissed her back just as passionately. Pulling away and saying in a breathless voice, she whispered. “Hurry back.” Harry wanted nothing more than to take her right then and there but knew that he had to get his mother’s ring before something happened to it. He nodded and with regret turned away from her to the fireplace. He disappeared but was back within two minutes. He had a bag thrown over his shoulder and his mother’s ring box in his hand.



Hermione was sitting on the couch scribbling on a notepad. She sat it down with his appearance and turned to smile brightly at him. He couldn’t help but smile back as tenderness towards her flooded him. He went to sit next to her on the couch. He sat the ring box on the table in front of them and turned to her. He reached up and touched her cheek softly with the back of his hand. “What took us so long?” he said. Hermione shrugged but cocked her eyebrow at him. “What took US so long? What took YOU so long you mean?” she said with a laugh. Harry blushed. “I guess I’m just not swift on the uptake.” Hermione grinned. “That’s obvious.” They laughed for a minute before Hermione sighed. “The important thing is that we are together now.” Harry grinned and leaned forward to kiss her softly. He ran his hands up into her hair as she wrapped her arms around him to pull him down. They slid down further onto the couch as the kiss intensified. Desire pounded through them as they began to pull at each other’s clothes in their haste to feel skin against skin.



Hermione whispered his name as his hands found their way up her shirt and under her bra to mold her breasts to his hands. Frustrated by all the clothing that separated them, he grabbed his wand that had been tossed nearby on the floor earlier and pointed it at Hermione’s clothes. “EVANESCO!” Hermione’s clothes vanished, leaving her completely naked underneath him. Harry’s hands slowly ran down her body, marveling at how beautiful she was and he wanted to hit himself for never noticing. Hermione twisted and turned beneath his hands as they slid up and down her body, causing warmth that spread all through her. She began tugging at his clothes, wanting him naked against her. His clothes vanished as well and Hermione groaned at the feel of him. It felt like it had been forever since he’d touched her when it had actually been only a few hours. He lowered his lips to her neck and began to nibble and suck lightly. Hermione ran her hands up and down his strong back. When his lips found their way down to her breast, she sunk her nails in lightly. Harry continued to torment her until her fingers slid up to grip his hair and pull his head back up to hers. Their lips were a perfect fit as they melted together.

Harry nearly came off the couch when her hand suddenly closed around him and began to stroke softly. He felt ready to burst and jerked her hand away from him to clasp it in his own. He parted her legs and put himself down between them. He plunged into her in one smooth stroke. Hermione screamed at the sensation he caused. She lifted her hips and met him thrust for thrust. As she started to come, Harry lowered his head to her neck and kissed it softly. “I love you Hermione.” He whispered against her neck in a tone that said he’d just realized that. With those words she came wildly, arching against him and yelling his name. When the tremors began to slow down, she felt Harry come inside her. Shaking and breathing hard, they slowly came back down to earth.



Harry laid his head down against Hermione’s rapidly beating heart and lightly kissed the soft skin. Hermione wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly to her. She ran her hand through his hair and they lay there for several minutes, trying to get their breathing and heart rates to slow down. Harry slowly sat up and grabbed his glasses that had been tossed to the floor. Hermione sat up too and kissed his shoulder. “Are you okay?” he asked her softly. She smiled at him and nodded. Harry leaned forward and picked up the box on the table. “I need to see Mione.” He said softly. Hermione laid her cheek on his shoulder and nodded. He took a deep breath and slipped the ring on. Instantly he was taken back to exactly where he’d left off.



Lily’s heart was pounding as she ran to the door and slammed it in the shadowy figure’s face. She ran with Harry across the nursery and clutched him to her chest. The door burst open with a thundering boom. Lily screamed. Harry began to whimper softly and she rocked him back and forth before setting him down in the cradle. She spun around and had her wand out but another wand was already raised. “Please! Don’t hurt Harry. Kill me if you must but don’t hurt him! Show some mercy! He’s only a baby!” Lily sobbed. Harry watched as the words “Avada Kedavra!!!” came out from the hood and a green light came out of the wand at his mother. Lily screamed in pain and hit the floor, not moving. “Now for you little Potter. The prophecy will not be fulfilled as long as I breathe!” He pointed his wand at Harry’s head and the same green light came out at him. Blackness engulfed him for a split second and then he opened his eyes to see Voldemort standing there staring at him in shock and surprise. A loud boom from outside sounded and with one last look at Harry, Voldemort vanished. Harry looked down at the still body of his mother but couldn’t understand why she wasn’t getting up.



Another shadow passed across him and he looked up and grinned at the sight of Dumbledore himself walking towards him with a kind and soft expression on his face. He reached forward and lightly touched Harry’s cheek before picking him up and holding him gently. He turned and stared at Lily sadly before lifting his wand and waving it. Lily’s body vanished before Harry’s stunned eyes and he held out his little arms towards where she’d been and began to cry. Dumbledore patted him on the back and walked out of the house with him. He stepped out into the rainy night but amazingly both he and Harry were kept dry by an invisible force. Hagrid appeared and had tears running down his face. “Take him Hagrid. Here are the directions. Meet me there in two hours.” Hagrid took Harry from Dumbledore and swung onto the motorcycle. He settled Harry in a makeshift sling across his chest and took off. Harry glimpsed one more sight of Dumbledore before he saw nothing but sky and the hum of Hagrid’s bike. He had to get away from all of this was his thought as pulled on his finger.



Harry slowly pulled off the ring. He didn’t realize that he had tears running down his face until Hermione’s hand came up and gently wiped the tears away. “Harry what did you see?” she asked softly. He looked at her beautiful face and began to cry in earnest. “I watched him kill my mother.” He said and began to sob as Hermione wrapped her arms around him and pulled him to her tightly. Suddenly the front door opened and Ron stepped in. “HELLO? Anybody….OH MAN!” Ron said as he stepped into the living room and saw Hermione and Harry on the couch, naked except for the blanket that Harry had hastily grabbed and pulled over them. Ron was red to the roots of his hair but he grinned and casually asked. “What have YOU been up to?” he asked, trying to contain his laughter. He looked at Harry’s tear streaked face and turned a surprised look to Hermione. “Bloody hell Hermione; are you so bad that you make a man cry?” Hermione glared at him and threw a pillow at his head. “Shut up RON! At least someone WILL go to bed with me!” Ron snapped his mouth shut and glared at her. He turned to Harry and assumed a serious expression on his face. “Seriously though, what’s wrong mate?” he asked Harry. Harry sighed and told him everything that he’d seen. By the time he was done Ron’s mouth was hanging open and Hermione was crying softly. “Damn. I’m sorry mate. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.” Harry sighed. “I know. It was horrible. I felt so…helpless.” Hermione looked at him. “But Harry you were just a baby. There wasn’t anything you could have done.” Harry nodded and sniffed once or twice. Harry then told Ron about the figure that had attacked them earlier.



“Bloody hell Harry, who do you think it was?” Harry frowned and thought back to the encounter. He remembered a slim hand. “I remember that the hand didn’t look like a guy’s it was slim and almost graceful.” Hermione said with a grumpy frown. “Looked like she was sneaky and shifty too.” Harry grinned and kissed her cheek. “You’re just mad b/c you missed her.” Ron stared at Hermione. “YOU MISSED!!! Wait….you pointed a jinx and someone and you missed! I never thought I would see the day!!!” Harry frowned at Ron. “Bugger off Ron. It’s not her fault. The figure just apparated into thin air.” Hermione shifted uncomfortably while Ron continued to chuckle. “Ron if you don’t mind, would you step outside or something so that Harry and I can get dressed?” Blushing, Ron nodded and walked outside. “Let’s take a shower while we are at it.” She suggested with a naughty wink. Harry grinned and picked her up into his arms, blanket and all and carried her upstairs to her bathroom. “Won’t Ron be waiting a bit long though?” he said, nibbling her ear. She laughed. “That’s the point.” Laughing loudly, he kissed her lips teasingly and slammed the bathroom door behind them.
