“What’s holding you back?” Ginny asked as she and Hermione sat down on the patio enjoying their tea while trying to soak up the last rays of sunshine they would likely see for a while.
“What do you mean?” Hermione asked, sipping her tea. She had told Ginny all about the party plans that Severus told her about, the wedding planning and every else that had happened since they’d last seen each other.
“You are giving yourself to him” Ginny said “Mentally and I daresay when the time comes you won’t have an issue giving yourself over physically…”
“Ginny!” Hermione squealed.
“Come on, Hermione” Ginny gave her an appraising look “You are a woman who enjoys sex, there is nothing wrong with it”
“But…” Hermione rolled her eyes “Don’t make me sound so wanton”
“Whatever” Ginny shook her head “What I’m getting at is that you haven’t and don’t appear to be even close to giving yourself to him emotionally” She smiled sadly “What’s wrong?”
“How can I give myself to someone so completely?” Hermione asked as she sat back “When he too is holding back”
“How do you know he’s holding back and not just responding to the way you are holding back?” Ginny asked wisely.
“Because” She answered “Sometimes we make such progress. Pushing forward and making new paths together and then all of a sudden…it’s like he notices and then we’ll have days when I’ll study in the library or in my rooms and I won’t even see him”
“You want to know a secret that I was intending to take to the grave?” The redhead asked.
“What?” Hermione asked.
“This marriage” She pointed to herself and the house “With Harry…it almost didn’t happen” Hermione’s eyes widened “I know” She said before she could speak “Harry and I were made to be together, we should have always been together with nothing and no one interrupting us…damn Voldemort!”
“Exactly” Hermione said “So, what happened?”
“We went back to our relationship after the end of the war” She said “We were both in therapy at the time. Our relationship was feeling strained and like we were trying too hard to make it work, there were secrets, pain, a past that neither of us spoke about…it was like being in Hagrid’s Hut with a Hippogryph between us and both of us were trying not to notice it”
“What was it?” Hermione asked.
“It was the Unknown” Ginny answered “I knew how I felt about him and I thought I had been honest about it but he didn’t know really. He was used to people using him only having you stand by him from the start and right through the war…he can’t even say that about Ron anymore because he left when you guys were hunting for the Horcruxes” She looked angry “That one act has forever put a strain on their friendship and of course I was wondering if maybe he was secretly in love with you and was just pretending to love me because it was what everyone wanted from us”
“We never!” Hermione started but Ginny nodded and smiled.
“I know” She answered “I asked him and he told me the truth…he had too”
“What do you mean?” The older girl asked and Ginny held up some golden cards that were held in a matching see-through pouch.
“Veritiserum-Cards” She answered “They are infused with Veritiserum and will root to your hand until you answer the questions honestly” She looked at them for a moment “Cards of my mothers making when my father was working closely with a younger woman who fawned all over him” She smirked “Unlike the potion you can fight this, you are given the option to answer however you like. If you tell the truth the card lets go and you can put it down if you lie…it refuses to let go of your skin”
“What about an antidote?” Hermione asked as she took the pouch from her “Is there one?”
“Of course” Ginny answered.
“What is it?” Hermione asked.
“The truth” Ginny answered “You have to answer every question on every card and they can be probing…but by the end of this deck you will both be open to one another”
“Does it really help?” Hermione whispered “Knowing someone’s soul like that?”
“Yes” She answered “I know what Harry hates, what he loves, fears, needs, longs for…I know his kinks now” She smiled “I can look at him, read his expression and know what he needs without having to ask which means that I can have it ready and it makes our marriage run easily. Sure we still have fights but knowing each other this way makes life better”
“Okay” Hermione mused looking at the cards.
“I know that when Harry runs his hand through his hair” Ginny said “Looks at the ceiling and looks like he doesn’t understand his own thoughts its because he needs advice from a father-figure or older male presences that he trusts…I send him on his way to Remus”
“I knew that it meant something along those lines” Hermione told her.
“You know when he’s sitting there at the table or desk or wherever he is” Ginny went on “And his eyes get a little squinty and he licks his bottom lip while seemingly lost in thought…what does that one mean?”
“I don’t know” Hermione answered “He’s thinking about food”
“He’s thinking about sex” Ginny answered and Hermione burst out laughing “And on top of that he’s thinking about something really kinky he wants to do and its turning him on”
“Oh my gods” Hermione laughed and looked at the cards again “You don’t mind if I use them?”
“Not at all” Ginny said “But make sure to explain it to him and he is on board”

Severus was writing up to the proposal for the Halloween dance that he was going to bring up to the staff that night. He wanted Hermione to bring it up but she told him that it was his idea so he should be the one to bring it up. He was happy with the results so far and knew that she would be too, he put a lot of thought in to it. Hermione walked in to the room and looked at him nervously, she was playing with something in her hands. He leaned back and offered a soft smile. She sat down and put a deck of cards on the table and then she launched in to the story and what the cards were used for.
“Are you willing to do this?” She asked as he leaned back and looked at the cards like they had just turned in to a poisonous creature and was inching closer “According to the rules I found in the pouch an initial spell will be put on us when we both touch the cards and while we don’t have to just sit here and learn about one another we can stretch it over days…weeks even we do have to finish it. The spell not only lets the cards know we’re not done yet but we can ask one another questions quite suddenly and not from the cards and the spell will urge us to answer”
“Like what?” He asked suddenly “You could ask me why I became a death eater or something in the middle of one of my classes and I’ll have to answer?”
“I’m hurt you’d even think I would ask that in front of a classroom full of your students” Hermione said, hurt was etched on her face but instead of walking off like she wanted to, she continued to sit there looking at him.
“Well?” He pressed.
“No” She said “It’s limited to facial expressions because one can never think about every facial expression at one time so it gives you time to see them”
“Why is that important?” He sneered.
“Ginny knows when Harry needs advice from Remus from the expression on his face” Hermione snapped “When he’s turned out, sick, happy, worried, upset…I can’t tell anything from your expression or body language”
“Fine” He said after a few moments of silence “Let’s do it”
The spell was easily put on them and when it was done Hermione left his chambers. She could feel that magic running through her but the rules told her that she could lie to anyone else in the world but not Severus. There were so many expressions that she wanted to know about, so many secrets that she wanted to know. She wanted to learn about him so that maybe she could make him happy, it was amazing how much had changed in the past month or so. She sighed and opened up some files that she had brought home with her, they were busy at the office and she found herself working around the clock. She felt bad most of the time but not now, she knew that right now he’d want to be alone and she was only too happy to give him that space.
A/N: We’ll start the little game later but feel free to offer up things you’d want to know and I will answer them the best I can!! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
