- The Ultimate Love-

As soon as he stood up he wanted to leave: He did not think he could stand another moment there. He put his arm around Hermione's shoulders, and she put hers around his waist, and they turned in silence and walked away through the snow, past Dumbledore's mother and sister, back toward the dark church and the out-of-sight kissing gate.

'HERMIONE!' Harry fell to his knees beside her as Neville crawled rapidly towards her from under the desk, his wand held up in front of him. A whine of panic inside his head was preventing him thinking properly: he had one hand on Hermione's shoulder, which was still warm, yet did not dare look at her properly. Don't let her be dead, don't let her be dead, it's my fault if she's dead...

'Shh' was the first thing Harry heard when he opened his eyes with a start; his body was pressed against another warm one. He relaxed immediately at the touch of Hermione's naked body against his. He smiled and looked down at her; she was rubbing his chest, murmuring words of comfort. The pendant was still dangling from her neck. Once the pendant had stopped glowing, Harry and Hermione decided to sleep for the night and then find answers about the strange necklace.

He didn't move out of her arms, enjoying the view he had of her body against his. Her leg was draped over his, while her arm was on his chest and her head on his shoulder. She fit perfectly in his arms, and her warm body was comforting. Harry smiled. His first time had been with Hermione, the woman he loved with all of his heart. He wasn't that worried about the necklace. If the lady in the shop was right, then the pendant could only be beneficial. He sighed at the thought of Hermione being his true love and those thoughts made her turn her head and look at him. They looked at each other for a few moments, peaceful smiles on their faces, love and happiness in their eyes.

'Good morning,' they said in unison and grinned. Hermione snaked closer to him and their lips met in a sweet good morning kiss. Harry responded by cupping the back of her neck and her shoulder with his hands, keeping her as close as possible. They laid there like that for awhile, enjoying that peaceful moment.

Hermione broke the kiss with a gasp and looked at Harry, worried. 'What time is it? It's Monday!' Hermione said and Harry chuckled. That was his Hermione. He looked at the clock on his nightstand and smiled at her.

'Twenty past six, in the morning. I think we have more than awhile to stay like this,' Harry said and Hermione smiled and rested her head against him again. Peaceful, comfortable silence followed until Hermione spoke again.

'We need to find out about the necklace. I don't remember reading anything about objects allowing people to read each others' minds,' Hermione said and then Harry could hear Hermione's voice inside his mind. 'Or objects which glow when two people make love.' He smiled at her thought.

'With my conscience talking with Hermione's voice for all these years, the change is small. At least now I'll know what she is thinking,' Harry thought and Hermione lifted her head and looked at him.

'Your conscience has my voice? Really?' Hermione asked and Harry smiled and nodded. He felt confident in admitting it to her since he'd already shared his his body and his very soul with this woman.

'Yes, since our first year here,' he said smiling and Hermione beamed at him and rested her head on his chest.

'Yet, you continued to get into trouble,' Hermione teased and Harry chuckled and started caressing her arm with his fingers, making her giggle.

'You're not any better. Even as a prefect, you broke rules too,' Harry said teasing back.

'You made me do that most of the time. Don't blame me for you being daft,' Hermione retorted and giggled again as his hand started caressing her waist and then tickling it.

'You love me,' Harry said and pushed Hermione back on the bed so he could move on top of her.

'I do,' Hermione replied and kissed his lips, asking for entrance. He gave it to her and enjoyed the passion of the kiss. When they broke it, Harry could feel his body reacting to her again, but remembering her pain a few hours before made him stop from going further.

'Are you alright now? You were in pain before,' Harry said gently as he started kissing Hermione's cheeks, jaw and neck, playing with her pulse point and moving to her collarbone.

'Just sore, but fine. Don't worry, I've felt greater pain than that,' Hermione said and Harry met her eyes. She was right, but he didn't want her to feel more pain. Her fragile frame at Dobby's funeral still haunted him.

'I know,' was all Harry replied and Hermione smiled sweetly at him and caressed his hair, playing with a few wild hairs close to his scar. She left them and her fingers brushed lightly against his scar. Harry closed his eyes and enjoyed her touch, like he always did. Hermione's other hand found his cheek and started stroking it. He didn't open his eyes and sighed at the feeling of her warm hands on his face.

'I want you to know, that I love you very much,' he heard her saying to him and smiled. 'And that no matter what, I'll never let you down,' her voice said inside his head. He opened his eyes and moved up again so he could kiss her. As their lips met, Harry felt like he could die from happiness.

'I love you too, 'Mione, and even though it took long for us to be together, I promise you, we'll be happy from now on,' Harry thought with the hope that she'd hear him. She obviously did because her kiss became even more passionate and her hands left his face and found his back. They broke the kiss when oxygen was needed.

'We should have a shower, I think.' Hermione's voice said in Harry's mind and he nodded and stood up first. As Harry stood up and looked at Hermione's body on the bed smiled at the sight of his girlfriend. His smile died when he noticed dry blood on her inner thighs. He looked at himself and there was a little dried blood on his legs as well but he was sure it wasn't his. He looked at Hermione in alarm.

'You've bled,' he said in a small voice and Hermione looked at him quizzical. Her gaze followed his and she looked at her thighs. She looked back at Harry as she stood up.

'It's normal. It's OK, it happens when a woman makes love for the first time,' Hermione said and Harry let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

'Are you sure? I could go to the Infirmary and ask for some potion-' Harry started but was cut off by Hermione's lips on his. He relaxed more and enjoyed the kiss. He lifted Hermione and she wrapped her legs around his waist, with his hands around her back and on her bottom, Harry led both in the bathroom for a hot shower and more snogging.

When the two finally finished snogging and playing under the hot water they decided to find some information about the necklace. After their morning classes and lunch the couple would search in the library about the pendant. Hermione was sure she would find something there and asked for Harry's help. He agreed with a smile and a kiss, mostly because he was really curious about the strange necklace. Hermione didn't wear the necklace but put it in her bag. Harry knew she wouldn't wear it in the school, since a pendant in the shape of two hearts would bring questions about who gave it to her but he was happy to know Hermione wanted it with her no matter what.

Harry hadn't imagined being around Hermione after their lovemaking would be so hard. During classes, his hands always found their way to her body and Hermione, many times, gasped and jumped at his touch. Her back, hair, hands, legs, any part of her was his target; he loved caressing her back even above her robes or brushing his hands against her legs beneath her skirt. She tried to stop him many times through their 'mental bond', as Harry labeled their connection, but he didn't stop. Thank Merlin; Ron didn't seem to notice anything since he seemed very sleepy and the rest of their classmates were in desks in front of the trio.

But revenge is sweet, and Hermione proved that to Harry during lunch. Harry and Ron sat opposite Hermione and when Harry started eating he jumped in his chair as he felt Hermione's bare foot close to his pants. Hermione kept her face lowered as she kept eating but her foot was playing with him by rubbing his thighs and when she touched his member Harry clutched his fork and bit down his lip to stop the groans. Flashes from the night before with Hermione moaning and her body around him filled his mind and Harry tried not to grip and shag her right then and there. When the torturous lunch was finally over and many students were gone, Ron and Luna left for a walk and Hermione winked at Harry and left for the library. He followed her and gripped her by the arms as she was heading to the closest shelf of books in the restricted section of the library.

'You're mad,' Harry rasped out as he trapped Hermione between his body and the shelf. She grinned and kissed his lips.

'You started it,' Hermione replied as the kiss was over. Harry sighed against her lips and captured them with his once more.

'Don't do it again,' he said at the end of the kiss; his voice was full of need. Hermione smiled and nodded.

As long as you stop touching and playing with me. I didn't take a single note in History of Magic with your hands on me. How do you expect us to to do well on our N.E.W.T.s? Harry heard Hermione's voice in his head and felt the heat that had spread all over his body disappearing at the thought of their exams and their professors. Hermione grinned and pecked his lips again. 'Lets find what the pendant can do, shall we?' she said and slipped through his arms and headed to a shelf close to Harry. He sighed in defeat and followed.

It wasn't an easy job. They actually found nothing. After their break; Harry and Hermione returned to their afternoon classes with no idea about the pendant. Hermione was disappointed. They searched allot and Harry remembered the days he and Hermione were searching for some spell so he could win his first task back in their fourth year. When they finished their classes Hermione started a silent talk between them through their bond.

McGonagall may know what the pendant is. Harry heard Hermione inside his mind as they started their afternoon patrol on the grounds.

'Mione, we should probably tell her what happened, but do you really want her to know about our personal life? Harry replied and felt his cheeks heating up at the view of the people around him on the grounds; he felt like everyone could hear what he and his girlfriend were talking about.

No, but she's clever and may help us, or some of the other Headmasters in the portraits. Maybe there is some book in her office that explains things, some book dangerous enough to be secured there, like the ones for the Horcruxes. Hermione replied in Harry's head. Besides, what do we have to lose? I don't think she would ever ask questions that would embarrass us. Hermione went on and Harry remembered McGonagall's demand for him to dance at the Yule Ball with a girl, and then heard Hermione's chuckle inside his mind. He turned and looked at her grinning face.

'You just danced, Harry. She didn't ask you to pretend to be a monkey in the Ministry's atrium,' Hermione said and Harry felt defeated once more.

'Fine,' he said and felt Hermione's hand squeezing his for a few moments. You're a very bad influence, you know. Harry thought.

You love me. Was her answer.

The two found McGonagall in her classroom and when they asked her to talk about 'an important issue' she agreed at once and led them to the Headmistress' office. When the couple entered the office, many portrait figures opened their eyes and looked or smiled at them, the first was Dumbledore. Harry greeted the portrait's figure and glanced at the seemingly sleeping Snape. McGonagall was already in her chair and gestured for the two to sit close to her. Harry and Hermione did so and the headmistress spoke first.

'I was going to find you two to announce you that the visits to Hogsmeade will begin soon, and we'll be visiting the village once a month. But we'll talk about that later. Tell me what's going on,' the headmistress said and Harry looked at Hermione who looked back at him.

You were always better with words.

Hermione nodded and then faced the headmistress. 'Professor,' Hermione started and McGonagall looked at Hermione with curious eyes. Hermione took a breath and spoke. 'Harry and I are together,' Hermione went on and the professor smiled. 'The thing is that Harry gave me a gift, a necklace and it started glowing. After that, I could hear Harry's thoughts in my mind and Harry can hear me inside his.' Hermione said, avoiding any mention of their lovemaking. McGonagall's smile had turned to a surprised expression. The headmistress sat in silence for awhile and Harry could hear if not even feel Hermione getting scared and panicked. He reached and took her hand; she squeezed it and waited. McGonagall looked above her and she and Dumbledore looked at each other. Dumbledore was smiling so she did the same and turned to the young couple.

'I think professor Dumbledore can explain things better than I can,' McGonagall said and the couple turned to the portrait of the old Headmaster of Hogwarts. He smiled at Harry and Hermione and spoke.

'I knew this would happen sooner or later. I guess you, my dear Harry, and you, Hermione, became one in the most intimate way,' Dumbledore began and both Harry and Hermione blushed deeply and lowered their heads. Dumbledore chuckled and they looked at him. 'You shouldn't be embarrassed, love is not embarrassing. Anyway, the connection you two achieved is really rare, this is probably why you didn't find anything in the library. There are no books about the Ultimate Love,' Dumbledore said and Harry looked at Hermione who was already looking at him.

'The Ultimate Love, sir?' Hermione asked and Dumbledore nodded.

'Love is powerful, as you already know. It can be a powerful weapon which destroys evil; it can be an unbroken bond which no one is able to destroy. Harry, your mother once provided you with the ultimate protection, am I right?' Dumbledore asked. Harry only nodded.

'As I had told you before, she had used an ancient spell to help you by sacrificing her life,' Dumbledore said and Harry saw Snape opening his eyes and looking at him. Harry nodded again. 'Love needs sacrifices and you two have already sacrificed allot to be together, as friends, as a couple; it doesn't matter that much. You, Hermione, gave up being with your parents, your seventh year here and you'd give your own life to save Harry.' Hermione nodded and Harry squeezed her hand. 'And you, Harry, nearly lost everything to save the others, including Hermione. You can love like no other. You already proved that by destroying Tom,' Dumbledore went on and Harry just nodded again.

'Love can save and can kill people. It can hurt or unite people. You two have the bond of the Ultimate Love. You can hear each others' thoughts and you will soon be able to feel each others' feelings. You're like one. The pendant you gave to Hermione is the sealing symbol of the Bond and sealed that love like the spell your mother used and the blood bond with your aunt had sealed your protection with your mother. The Bond of the Ultimate Love is not necessarily between couples. It can also be the love of a parent for a child.' Dumbledore said and Harry looked and smiled at Hermione. She smiled back at him and then they turned to Dumbledore again.

'Of course, you have to be careful. You need to protect that bond of yours. The bond of the Ultimate Love happens to people who know and trust each other very much, ultimately. And usually it happens to people who have connected with each other through their hearts. In your case, your friendship helped the Bond to build itself up. I'm sure many times you communicated with each other without talking or you thought you could read each others' minds. You survived things other people wouldn't or didn't survive and as I had told you Harry, back on 2^nd of May, the night of the Battle here, Hermione is the only person who can get you on the ground and keep you there. Hermione never abandoned your side even if other people did. It's not just Hermione's loyalty. The Bond was probably already active even if you two didn't know it,' Dumbledore said and Harry and Hermione listened carefully. Harry could now explain why Hermione's voice was his conscience for all these years.

'As I told you before, you need to be careful. The Bond will always try to give fruits of love,' Dumbledore said and both Harry and Hermione looked at him in confusion. He smiled and spoke. 'Children are usually the 'fruits' of love,' he said and both Harry and Hermione blushed deeply again. 'There are a few powerful contraceptive spells and potions you could use so you won't have children until you want to. With time you'll learn to block each other temporarily, but for a few months you should let the bond build up. You'll be able to feel each other, to read each other's thoughts and communicate with each other. Your sexual life will be more pleasurable than normal people will be and if spells aren't used, you'll have children. You'll be able to protect each other and many people in the past have reported that when two people bonded with the Ultimate Love tried to save each other; the spells they used worked in higher levels so the couples could save themselves.' Dumbledore said and Harry thought about his parents, could they be bonded with the Ultimate Love? Hermione squeezed his hand in comfort.

'They were, Harry.' Dumbledore spoke as if he knew what Harry was thinking. The old Headmaster had probably noticed Harry's suddenly sad face. 'The Ultimate Love can't stop death. Your parents had escaped Voldemort three times until the night of their death and Death found them together, trying to save their sealing symbol, you.' Dumbledore said and Harry looked at him. Was he the symbol of his parents' Bond?

'How do you know that?' Harry asked and Dumbledore smiled at him.

'Lets just say that this conversation took place years ago between me and another young couple,' Dumbledore said and Harry nodded. He felt his eyes tearing up and tried to hold them back. Hermione squeezed his hand more and gave him comfort through their bond and her soothing words.

Dumbledore went on so Harry tried to focus on his old headmaster. 'The sealing symbols of your love will change from time to time. Now you have the necklace. Later, the sealing symbol can be something else, your wedding rings or even one of your children. Usually the first child of a couple is the sealing symbol of their Ultimate Love's Bond, no matter the sex of the child,' Dumbledore said and the couple nodded again. 'If the sealing symbol dies or gets destroyed your Bond will break but won't devastate itself. The Bond will die only when you die, the bonded couples usually die together or the one shortly after the other because the Bond is half destroyed and the alive partner can't stand the loneliness. You really are two halves of a whole so if the one is missing the other is doomed to follow wherever the other half is. This is one more reason for your mother sacrificing herself, Harry. James was already gone when Voldemort was in front of her so she wouldn't leave either way without him.' Dumbledore said softly and Harry took a deep breath.

Don't be sad, love. Your mother did it so you'd live. Hermione thought and Harry looked at her and smiled as he nodded. She was right.

'Love, respect, admiration, care, understanding and comfort bonded you. I'm sure you can keep your bond alive no matter what. Just remember, the bond can weaken by your actions. Through the bond you won't be able only to love and care for each other, you can also hurt each other and this bond is made by love and not hate. Remember that,' Dumbledore said and both Harry and Hermione nodded this time. They could never hate each other.

Neither Harry nor Hermione had any questions, so they said their goodbyes and headed for the Head tower. They sat close to their desk and finished their homework within an hour. They didn't speak but smiled allot, Harry was happy to be bonded with Hermione like that. He was happy he'd have her so close to him. They were one. He loved her and she loved him, and that bond was indeed made for them. He was also happy because, through their bond, he could understand how she was feeling. He was never good with crying women or their problems but with Hermione connected to him he could always try and make up for his possible mistakes.

When they finished their homework; Harry asked Kreacher to bring them some food so they didn't need show up for dinner. They wanted to be alone. A light rain started outside the castle and Harry and Hermione sat on their couch in front the fire and watched the rain watering the grounds outside. Harry sat down with his back against one of the couch's arms and Hermione sat between his legs with her back against his chest. She put her hair to one side so Harry could rest his chin on her other shoulder and together they sat in silence.

I'm happy about the Bond. What do you think? Hermione asked after a few minutes of watching the rain.

I think it'll be nice to be in the Brightest Witch's mind. Harry said and Hermione chuckled.

Seriously. tell me, do you mind sharing your mind with me? Hermione asked and Harry could hear the insecurity in her voice.

I shared my body and my soul with the most loyal and caring woman I ever met. She saved me countless times, she loved me no matter what and chased my demons away. I love sharing my mind with her. Harry thought and Hermione turned her head and captured his lips. Harry responded and the kiss became passionate within seconds.

I love you. Hermione spoke inside Harry's mind.

I love you more. Harry replied as the kiss went on.
