Chapter 06: Nothing’s gonna change

And he kissed her. Not a tender or sweet kiss. It’s full of despair and desire. His hands let go her wrists and found the softness of her brown hair.
OH. MY .GOD.
What I am doing? I am kissing Hermione Granger! On the mouth! And it is damn good! Oh, boy…She will hate me! I am sure! But, wait a minute! Her arms are around my neck…she’s kissing me back! Merlin, I don’t know if she read about in a book, but WOW! She knows the job…. Not that I am a expert on this matter….
They kissed what seemed to be like forever. His tongue traveled all her lips, her mouth. He didn’t want to stop, it’s like he was afraid that he could forget her taste.
His hands left her hair and started to move slightly up and down her back as she pressed against him and Harry could feel a desire growing .
She was the one who broke the kiss, needing air.
“Harry…”- she managed to say.
He was looking her swollen and pink lips, passing gently his fingers printers on it.
“Don’t ask me for “I am sorry”. Because I am not.”
“I would never ask for that.”
He didn’t replay. Only smiled; A furtive and sly smile. He started to kiss her again.
Hermione felt his body push her against the wardrobe’s door as he kissed her even more vigorously, his obvious arousal pushing into her thigh.
Her hands were tangled in his hair, swirling through the locks as she moaned louder and louder into his mouth.
She moaned as she felt one of his hands began to unbutton her pajamas’ shirt, touching one of her breasts as he kissed her again and again. His thumbs touched her nipples and she shivered. “Harry…. no…”
He didn’t stop.
“Harry….”
He didn’t stop.
“Harry! Stop please! “- She yelled this time.
He step back.
“I thought you’re enjoying.”
“Yes, It’s great, wonderful kiss you…. but…”
“But what?”- His voice raising.
“ A kiss is just a kiss. I don’t want to go further, if you know what I mean.”
“But Oliver touched you.”
“No, Harry. Well, yes, but only one time and I asked him to stop. But that’s not the point….”
“So, what’s the point?”
“ He’s not you.”
“?”
“With you…. I don’t know if I could stop.”
The moment was followed by an awkward silence.
“Well, I think I should go to sleep.”- Harry said, breaking the moment- “It’s really late.”
“Yeah. Good night, Harry.”
He was at the bedroom’s door, with his right hand on the doorknob, when he heard her voice.
“Harry?”
“What?”
“We are still friends, right?”
“Yes, of course. Nothing’s gonna change.”
With a sad smile, she replied.
“Nothing’s gonna change.”

Next morning. Grimmauld place ‘s kitchen.

“Good Morning, Sleep Head! Or may I say…Good Afternoon? It’s past noon.”- Saluted a smiling Remus Lupin.
“Good morning, Remus. Where’s Tonks?”- The only ones in the kitchen were Lupin, Hermione and Ron.
“At Work.”
“Oh.”
“Good morning, mate.”
“Good, Ron.”
“Good morning, Harry. Slept well?”
Hermione…
“Wonderful.”- He answered without looking at her.
Harry could notice that Hermione and Ron were in the middle of a ‘conversation’.
That’s what I need….
“So, you really forgive me?”
“Ron!”
“I need to know…I am really sorry, Hermione.”
Harry looked at Lupin, who muttered:
“They’re like this for almost a hour.”
“Ron, let me say this for the LAST time. Yes, I was upset when I saw you kissing that girl, but then, I realized that I should be happy for you. You have every right to kiss any girl you want.”
“Thank you, Hermione.”
“And, you wasn’t the only one who kissed last night.”
Harry, who was drinking some tea, swallowed. Fortunately, the only one who seemed to notice was Lupin raising an eyebrow. The young wizard looked at him: Don’t say a word.
“What do you mean, Hermione?”
“Well, I kinda got some fun too. “
Oh, Merlin! Where’s Voldemort when we need him?
“Fun?”
“ You see, Ron, I maybe don’t like to play Quidditch, but the players…”
Will they notice if I start to run away right now?
“Did you kiss one of the twins? God, Hermione!”
“Oh, no….I don’t like beaters…..and they didn’t even became Capitan…”
I’m gonna faint…I ‘m feeling. I’m gone faint right now!
But, thank Merlin; Ron ‘s a little smart than he thought (or not….).
“Wood! You! You and Oliver Wood!”
Good. I am save. But I don’t need to hear what I already know.
“So, Ron, Hermione…. did you guys look around the house?”
Hermione had a smirk on her face.
Ah, girl, if we’re alone…
“Yeah, You need to see! The house looks like the bloody Slytherin Common Room!”
“How do you know how is the Slyther…”
“Two words, Remus: Polyjuice Potion “
“When?”
“Second year”
“Second year! But it’s a very complicate potion how did you manage to make that?”
“Again…two words: Hermione Granger.”
“Why did I ask?”- The man muttered to himself.
“One day, I tell you the whole story. But now, what are ours plans?”
“Well, the plans that include me- said Lupin- I thought start your training tomorrow. I don’t think today will be worth. You three drank a little too much yesterday, especially you, little Potter.
“Speaking of yesterday, how did we come here? I mean, yesterday….I can’t…”
Laughing, Lupin answered:
“You’re pretty bad, Harry. But you could managed to read the paper.”
“Oh, like in my fifth year!”
“Yes, only this time the person was…”
“Another one. I know. But, how we leave the Burrow?”
Hermione and Ron started to laugh.
“What?”
“Well, you see, Harry, you’re bad, so…. an apparation could be very dangerous…”
“So, how…?”
Lupin took a long breath.
“Tonks tied you on her body and…”
But before he could finish, a brown owl invaded the kitchen. The animal had a red envelop.
“Oh, No!”- Said Ron who took the letter- “It’s for you, Harry.”
“For me? But who?”
“Open! “- Cried Hermione.
“HARRY JAMES POTTER, YOU BASTARD, GIT, PRAT!”
“It’s Ginny”- whispered Ron to Hermione.
“ARE YOU HAVING FUN? AFTER EVERYTHING YOU DID TO ME LAST NIGHT? YOU DESTROYED MY NIGHT HARRY! AND NOW I DISCOVERED THAT YOU AREN’T GOING TO HOGWARTS!!I HATE YOU!”
“Man, she’s upset.”
But the howler hasn’t finished yet.
“ YOU, HERMIONE JANE! I THOUGHT WE’RE FRIENDS! YOU BETRAYAL ME!”
Hermione started to cry. Harry went to her and hugged his friend.
“AND, YOU! RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY! WAIT FOR THE NEXT TIME WE WILL MEET, DEAR BROTHER!!!!!”
“Oh, Merlin”- Ron said.
“I am a terrible friend.”- The girl managed to say between sobs. - “I am a horrible person”
“Shhh”- Harry whispered in her hair, hugging her very tight. He didn’t want let her go.
I could stay like this forever. Oh, you smell so good.
His thoughts were broken by Ron’s voice.
“Hermione, it’s ok. Ginny maybe is a little upset now, but everything’s gonna be alright. “
Releasing herself from Harry, she cried:
“No ! No, Ron ! Nothing’s gonna be alright anymore ! You don’t understand ! I am a terrible person ! A awful friend !” - and she ran away from the kitchen.
Oh, god! That’s why she’s crying!
“What’s that?”
“She will be okay. Ron, may I speak to you in your room?”
“Ok.”
“Remus…”
“Don’t worry, Harry.”

“So, you told my sister that you didn’t love her!”- Almost shout Ron, in a angry voice – “Just like that!”
“Ron, calm down!”
“Calm down!? It’s about my sister we are talking about!”
“What do you think I should do? Pretend that I am madness in love with and when the war is over we’re gone be together? Maybe I don’t love her, but I care a lot. I needed to tell her the truth. She must go on. Do you think it’s easy? “
“I know, I’m sorry. But I thought that you…”
“Ron, I’m seventeen years old! The only girls I know are those from Hogwarts! Don’t you think that maybe I’ll find the love of my life in another place? Work? Another country? I don’t know! I have to deal with that blame bastard! At least, in one aspect of my life I want to be free. I want to know another girls, kiss another girls! I don’t want to be The-boy –who-lived-VIRGIN!”
“Did you and.. …And my sis….”
“God, no! And if we had, well, you know, I probably would be married by know.”
“Oh, that’s for sure. “
“Do you understand me, now?”
“Well, I supposed. By the way, did you know about Hermione and Wood?”
Oh Merlin.
“No. What a surprise, hã?”
“I can’t believe she kissed him!”
“But, Ron…”
“It’s not easy to know that the girl you like kissed another guy!”
“But you kissed another girl, Ron. And, worst, you kissed another girl in front of Hermione! I saw her crying! In front of everybody! Even if she’s very hurt she respected you! You didn’t see her kissing Wood! And you only know that because SHE told you!”
“But….”
“It’s been the same thing with Lavender, Ron! You made Hermione saw every kiss! And, did you saw a single kiss between her and Krum? No! I think she has every right to kiss any guy she wanted to. “ Specially if ‘the guy’ was I.
Ronald Weasley didn’t say a word.

Grimmauld Place’s Library.

“Dammit !”-Cried a exasperate Hermione, between books and parchments.
“Calm down, Mione.”-Said a smiling Harry who had just arrived- “What happened ?”
“Calm down? Calm down?!”Do you know what I found out about otters? NOTHING! I hate have to say this but Ron’s right. A badger is…a BLOODY badger!”
If it wasn’t something serious, he could have laugh.
“Well, if want to know, Ron and I didn’t find the locket either. I have to admit, Kreatcher made a good job with the house, but….”
“This is a huge house, Harry. I know we’ll find.”
“Yes, I supposed. May I help you ?”
“Oh! There’s this book…- she said showing a thin book on her hand-I didn’t read it. If you….”
“Of, course, give me it”
When he was taking the book from her hand, their fingers touched. Harry felt a shiver went through all over his spine.. She was starring at him, her eyes full of passion and desire.
They didn’t know who started but, the thing is, on the next second, the book was on the floor and the two friends were kissing.
They kissed with passion, hungry, lust. His hands were under her shirt, doing things that made her shivered in pleasure. Her arms were around his neck, not wanting him to let go.
“Harry! Hermione!”-They heard Ron’s voice and quickly pull apart.
“Oh, there you are! “- Said the redhead, entering in the Library. - “I was looking for you!”
“Well, Ronald”- said Hermione looking over a book- “It’s really stupid! After all, where, I, Hermione Granger, the bookworn, should be?”
You are so mean Hermione Granger…. and I lo…like you a lot for that!
“Er…. right, So, Lupin said the dinner is read.”-He paused and then continued – “You know, Harry, I think you should ask Dobby to help us, paying him of course (he added quickly). I just don’t feel alright with Remus doing all these house’s stuff.”
‘Ron’s right, Harry. Remus’ have done so much for us. First; there’s our training and then, the cooking…. Not to mention that he has the Order’s business too.”
“Yeah, ok. But I will call Wincky. I don’t want Dobby leaves Hogwarts. He is our eye there.”
“So! That’s settled! Now, let’s eat?! I am starving!”
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Grimmauld Place’s Kitchen
“So, Tonks, Shacklebolt is the new DADA teacher? “
“Yes, Hermione. Scrimgeour wanted someone from the ministry and well, we didn’t want another Umbridge.”
“But Shacklebolt wasn’t working with the muggle minister?”
“We managed that. Kingsley is a good guy and better, few people know he is a Order Member.”
“But you are certain that he is he, right?”- Asked Ron.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, I think Hogwarts doesn’t need another Barty Jr.”-Explained Harry
“Oh! No! Minerva gave him Veritaserum!”
“I wonder who have ours badges …”- said Hermione almost to herself.
Harry frowned.
Funny, I never have thought about the similarity between the words badge and badger…. Merlin, I’m sounding like Hermione !But…Riddle had a badge…like Ron and Her…I need to talk with Dumbledore!

Hogwarts – Headmistress’ Office.

It wasn’t easy for Harry went to Hogwarts without Ron and Hermione. But after a ‘harmless’ lie: he had said he wanted to talk with Dumbledore about his parents: a private conversation.
“Very Well, Harry. You realized the word’s game. “
“Yes, Professor, but this give me two names: Ron and Hermione.”
“Harry, think about Hufflepuff. Word.”
“Word? Do you mean a word for…Loyalty!”
“You are on the right way.”
Oh, Merlin…. This is harder than I thought. I really need Hermione here. She would never let me down…
Harry stopped and looked at Dumbledore’s portrait.
“Hermione. She always was loyalty to our friendship. I mean, Ron is a great friend. He is my best friend. But she …she never let my side.”
“Correct, Harry. Hermione is the one who will destroy the cup. Tom made a very intricate trap: the only person capable to destroy it should be the his most loyalty server.”
“But Hermione isn’t loyalty to him! - Harry cried a little angry.
“No, but she is to you.”
“I am not understanding.”
“The wand, Harry. Your and Voldemort’s wands are ‘sisters’…”
“Oh! He made the horcruxe with his wand…. the loyalty is for the wand. But this give to us 2 persons: someone loyalty to me and someone loyalty to him!”
“His most loyalty server is already dead, Harry.”
‘Oh. May I ask who…?”
“Barty Crouch Jr.”
“Ok, Hermione is the ONE. But how she will?
“What do you feel when you think about Miss Granger?”
Harry blushed. He really didn’t want tell Dumbledore about THAT.
Dumbledore’s eyes narrowed.
“The primal thought. Is it angry? Hate? ….”
“Of course not! Of course she already made me very angry but the most part of the time I feel happiness when I am with her.”
Dumbledore didn’t replied. Harry had found the answer.
“Happiness!”
Great. And now?
“In our world happiness is very important. Not only for a good life. Happiness can save lives. It already had saved yours and Miss Granger’s lives.”
“Hã? Happ…. You are talking about the patronus! Her patronus will destroy the horcruxe!”.
□□□□□□□□□□□□□

When Harry told Ron and Hermione about his talk with Dumbledore. The two friends became very impressive. Especially Hermione. Of course, he didn’t tell them the REAL reason why Hermione should be the one. Harry told them that’s because a badger is more similar (physically) to an otter than to a terrier (Ron’s patronus).
Ron believed in that without questions. However, Harry could see that Hermione had her doubts. But she didn’t say a word.
Well, we can discuss THIS later. In my Room…Only She and I….”
