-This text is Alex and Khira talking telepathically-

Hermione walked into the Room of Requirement after dinner to find it empty. She had been told by Alex and Khira to meet them there, but they hadn't arrived yet. As she looked around she noticed various items sitting in odd places and the dummy in the corner was scorched. She specifically remembered Harry repairing it the night before. She grabbed her wand just as she heard the door behind her close and turned, her wand flying out of her hand into the waiting palm of another. Glaring at the two girls standing there Hermione knew she was in trouble.

“Hello Mudblood” the blond on the left said, Hermione instantly recognizing Samantha Runcorn, “Waiting for someone?”

“That must be why she's here Samantha. This must be where they train at” the redhead to her right, Leah Matthews, asked from beside her.

“Give me my wand back Runcorn” Hermione demanded and they both snickered.

“Oh Granger you should know better than demand things when you're not in control” Samantha smirked before tracing her fingers over Hermione's wand.

“Why are you here?”

“We just wanted to have a little chat” Leah stated, and waved her wand behind Hermione summoning a bench from the wall to slide next to her, “Sit down Mudblood.”

“Why should I?”

“If you don't then we're going to make you, and you don’t want that” Hermione glanced between the two and sighed, sitting on the bench before her hands and feet were bound.

“Tell me Mudblood, what is it like being Malfoy's whore?” Leah asked, while Samantha chuckled.

“I'm not his whore.”

“Could have fooled me” Samantha whispered into Hermione's ear.

“I told you. I'm not his whore. It is none of your business why we are together” Hermione stated, glaring at the two.

“Oh you see, that is where you're wrong Mudblood” Leah smirked and snapped her fingers and Draco appeared with his hands bound behinds a chair in the corner, “If you don't tell us then we'll be forced to hurt him and you don't want that.”

“Don't tell them anything Hermione. They're just playing us!” he yelled and Samantha slapped him.

“When Alex gets here you will be in big trouble” Hermione said and the two started laughing.

“Professor Kruss? Big trouble because of the vampire bitch? I highly doubt that. The professor is preoccupied with a problem on the third floor. I doubt she will be here soon.”

“You don't know Alex” Draco stated and the girls laughed before silencing him.

“No, we don't know her but we will know you by the end of this Malfoy” Leah smirked at Hermione before walking over and straddling Draco's lap.

Draco tried to turn away as the girl grabbed his chin and forced him to face her before pressing her lips to his. Hermione gasped as she felt a jolt of pain go through her turning her head away from the scene before her, before she felt Samantha grab her face and force her to watch.

“No no Granger! You're going to watch this!” she whispered in her ear and Hermione gasped upon seeing the two in front of her.

“No please! Stop this!” she begged but the two girls just laughed.

Leah waved her wand and removed hers and Draco's shirts before tossing the wand to the side. As she ran her hands up and down Draco's chest she started whispering in his ear and he turned his head away from her. Hermione tried to break free of her binds but couldn't, glaring at the girl as she watched her fondling her boyfriend.

“Hey Leah, I wonder if him inheriting the veela traits also made something else change or grow” Samantha said out loud and Hermione instantly glared at the blond.

“Let's find out shall we?” the red head stated, just as the door to the room blasted open and a furious Alex and Khira stormed through.

“You shall not” Alex growled before lunging at the girl and grabbing her by the throat, while Khira grabbed Samantha.

“Let go of me you bitch!” Leah yelled, before gasping for breath.

“I should bite you and bleed you dry for daring to fuck with someone I consider family!” Alex growled glaring at her, “Your only salvation was the fact you are a student and still on school grounds.”

“Alexandria! Khira! Release them both” Hermione turned to see McGonagall and Snape glaring at the two girls from the door, “Are you alright Ms. Granger?”

“Yes professor” Hermione stated as the two waved their wands releasing her and Draco before she rushed over to him, “Are you alright Draco?”

“I will be Hermione. I need a shirt though” he stated looking over to see that Alex still hadn't released Leah.

“Alexandria let her go! We need to take her to the headmaster's office to await the aurors” McGonagall stated before Alex dropped the girl who gasped for breath.

“Get her away from me” Alex stated, glaring at the two girls as they were escorted from the room, before turning to Draco and snapping her fingers, a shirt appearing in her hand, “Put this on Draco.”

“Thanks.”

“Are you sure you're alright?” once he nodded she turned to look around at the room before Khira walked over.

“We should go back to our rooms. Harry and the others are waiting there for us and McGonagall said she would be up there once they were done with the girls” the two students nodded following the women out of the room.

Once inside their common room Alex walked past everyone and went into their bedroom. Khira watched as she did so before sitting on the arm of the chair they always sat in. Hermione waited for Draco to sit in the other armchair before sitting on his lap and wrapping her arms around him resting her head on his chest. He sighed and wrapped his arms around her before they noticed Alex had returned carrying a bottle with a dark red liquid in it which he knew was blood. She sat in the chair, pulling Khira onto her lap, before drinking some of the liquid and resting her head against the back of the chair.

“Hermione are you guys alright?” Ron asked and she shook her head.

“I don't want to talk about it Ron. You'll find out what happened when McGonagall gets here.”

“She's on her way here now” Alex stated drinking some more of the liquid and they noticed her eyes glowed slightly.

“Calm yourself love” Khira stated, rubbing her wife's shoulder and Alex glared at her.

“How can I be calm when I wanted to kill both of them and bleed them-” she was cut off by Khira pressing her lips to hers lightly before staring into her eyes.

“We'll get them back for this one day. Right now you need to calm down.”

“They're lucky McGonagall and Snape were there” she stated and Khira smirked before saying something to Alex in what Draco recognized was German.

“Why didn't you say that in Russian this time?” he asked and she smirked at him.

“You don't know German. I didn't want anyone but Alex to understand me” she said and he rolled his eyes.

“What happened on the lower floors?”

“Someone turned on all the bathroom sinks and clogged the drains so they flooded the halls” Ron said as there was a knock on the portrait.

“Come in Minerva!” Alex called and the portrait swung open to reveal McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore.

“Alex we wished to inform you that both Leah Matthews and Samantha Runcorn are expelled but they are not being charged by the aurors. They said that a simple sexual assault on a student is not enough to arrest them” Dumbledore stated and they all watched as Alex's hands tightened around the bottle she was holding before Khira grabbed it from her and placed it on the table.

“Dumbledore what are we going to do about Draco and Hermione's safety? This is going too far!” the blond stated, glaring at the Headmaster.

“I agree, but what can we do? We cannot lock them up in their room all day and expect them to be safe. This is a war and they are in danger just because of who they are. There is nothing we can do that will allow them to be any safer” the old man stated.

“You're lying” they all turned to Alex and she looked at the older wizard before standing and facing him “You know what they need but you don't want to allow it because of what it is.”

“What is she talking about Albus?”

“I have no idea-”

“The ritual Albus!” Alex yelled and they all saw his face grow grim.

“They are too young for that.”

“Do not tell me that they are too young when Khira and I had ours at the same age and you were the witness to it” she growled at him and he sighed.

“What ritual Albus?” Snape asked and Khira cleared her throat.

“The binding ritual for those who are bonded. The ritual combines their magical cores and makes it possible for them to be apart for long times and distances, share their magic, and sense where their bonded is. We've been keeping quiet about it because we didn't want to scare them. The next best time for them to do it is thirteen of December. It has to be done during the last full moon of the year” she said and McGonagall looked at them like they were insane.

“You cannot truly expect them to have this ritual in a month!” she said and Alex sighed.

“Minerva, I know you are protective of them but this is not something that you know much about. I have lived this life and I know more about it than anyone in this room. If they do not do this next month they have to wait until next year. I will leave the choice to them and if they choose to do it but cannot do it here they will go to the estate and do it there.”

“What can be expected from this ritual?” Snape asked looking at Draco and Hermione before turning to Alex.

“They each give a drop of blood to be put into a fusing potion. The potion simmers for ten minutes after the blood is added, during which time I will bind their hands together with a spell that prepares them for the magical transfer. The potion then is drank by them as an incantation is said over their bound hands, and their magical cores will start releasing their magic into each other. During this time they must not be moved or touched by anyone around them no matter what happens to them. After about half an hour their cores will be completely merged together and the ritual will be done. It took me and Khira a week to recover from the magical drain of the ritual so they may take longer.”

“Can this ritual kill them?” the potions master asked, clearly intrigued.

“No but it will be very painful for both of them. The magical cores of both people letting out so much raw magic can make you feel like your entire body is on fire” Khira stated and they noticed she shuddered slightly.

“Khira passed out from the pain of our ritual and didn't wake up for three days” Alex stated, resting her hands on her wife's shoulders.

“Yet you wish for us to endure this ritual as well?” Draco stated and Alex glared at him.

“Tonight one of you could have been seriously hurt. You didn't know both of you were in that room or where anyone was to help you. The ritual allows you to sense each other no matter how far apart you are. You could literally point at a map and point directly to where Hermione is Draco!” she said and he glared.

“Tonight I let my guard down-”

“No you were ambushed by the two biggest sluts in the school” Khira stated, glaring at him.

“Khira-”

“No Alex! I want to say this” Alex glared at her wife but sighed and nodded, “Draco you think only of the bad when it comes to the ritual, but there is good in it too. This ritual solidifies your bonding until the two of you decide to be married. Yes it hurts like hell to have it done, but the good that comes from it afterward outweighs the thirty minutes of hell you go through. It's also a known fact it is easier to have it done at a younger age rather than an older one. Alex had a case three years ago of a elf couple who were wanting to be bonded at the age of forty and it took nearly three hours for their bonding ritual to complete because of how much magic they had.”

“It is never easy being bonded to someone. Merlin knows we've had our ups and downs” Alex stated wrapping her arms around Khira, “The ritual helps Draco and if you wish to see how I will show you memories I have from before and after Khira and I had our ritual.”

“Alex we will leave you all to discuss this” Dumbledore stated before leading the other two out of the room, stopping at the door, “Please let me know of their decision when they've made one.”

Alex nodded and sat down in the armchair again before Khira sat on her lap, grabbing the bottle and drinking a little of the blood inside it before kissing her wife and smiling. Alex took the bottle from her and drank what was left inside it before vanishing the bottle and wrapping her arms around the blond.

“Alex if you could go back to before you guys had the ritual, would you have not done it so soon?” Hermione asked and the older witch shook her head.

“I'd have done it all the same Hermione. The thirty minutes of pain was worth the twenty-three years of bliss I've had since with this amazing woman in my lap” she said and Khira chuckled, mumbling something in Russian that made Draco laugh.

“What did she say?” Harry asked and Draco smirked.

“She called Alex a kiss ass” he said and they all chuckled before starting small conversations, Hermione and Draco avoiding any conversations about what happened.

It was now December first and the students were in a frenzy over the upcoming Hogsmeade weekend. Hermione and Draco had decided to go along with the ritual and have it done on the 13^h, which was the starting day for the last full moon of the year. Alex was glad they decided to do it and told them that they would do it at the estate rather than the school so no one would know of it happening. They'd told the others finally what happened and all of them were shocked as well.

At the school, it had snowed recently and the entire grounds of the school was covered in snow. Hermione, Pansy and Ginny were in the courtyard one morning, during their free period talking, watching as the boys had a snowball fight in the center of the courtyard, Draco and Blaise were against Harry and Ron. They laughed when Draco hit Ron in the face but had to duck the next second because they were nearly hit by a stray snowball.

“So Hermione, what are you going to get Draco for Yule?” Pansy asked and the brunette shrugged.

“What could I get him that he'd like? He has practically everything.”

“That's actually where you're wrong” Pansy looked at the boys and then turned back to them, “Draco isn't as spoiled as he seems. His spoiled demeanor came from the power his father had but not from owning everything. Yes, he was spoiled slightly, but not to the point he had everything. I can tell you that his love for potions might be a good start.”

“I completely forgot about that! Thanks Pansy” she said and smiled, looking back at the boys just as Harry was hit in the face with a snowball from the left and looked up to see Alex standing there with a mischievous grin on her face, Khira standing next to her.

“Be more aware of your surroundings Harry” she stated with a laugh.

“You're going down now Potter!” Draco called and the two Gryffindors smirked at him before the fight started again.

Hermione and the others laughed as the four of them dodged and threw the snowballs back and forth. Alex and Khira smiled and nodded towards them as they walked by, but did not stay instead choosing to walk along the bridge behind them. Since Alex had fed from Khira she had refused to do so again, and they made it a regular routine for her to travel into the forest to feed. While she did so Khira would collect potion ingredients to study them. Since the incident with Leah and Samantha Alex had been needing to feed more often, so they were going into the forest every few days. Hermione saw Pansy watching the two of them and looked at her oddly. The dark haired girl turned towards her and shrugged upon seeing her look.

“So what are you going to get Harry this year Weasley?” she turned to look at the red head who smirked at her and shrugged.

“Oh I'm not getting him anything. I am going to buy something for myself I know he'll like as well” she said and the two looked at her oddly, “I found this amazing deal on this set of lingerie that is black silk and see through.”

“Ginny!” Hermione gasped upon hearing the redhead's confession.

“What?” she rolled her eyes as Hermione started going off on her like an old hen about wearing that stuff, “Oh hush Hermione! Just because you aren't kinky in the bedroom with Draco doesn't mean me and Harry can't be.”

“Shh you two” Pansy hushed them, pointing over to the guys, “I have to agree with her though Hermione. You love Draco and he loves you. You should get something sexy to surprise him too.”

“I am not buying that kind of stuff!” she said, turning back to watch the boys, not missing how the two girls looked at each other.

The three girls went back to watching the boys and laughed as Blaise and Draco did a combination attack on Harry and Ron, instantly hitting them both in the face with a snowball. The two highfived each other as the Gryffindors accepted defeat. The boys all walked over and Hermione giggled casting warming charms around them all to fight the cold. Draco sat down next to her and kissed her cheek.

“Have fun boys?” Ginny asked as the three snuggled close to their girlfriends.

“Would be better if I could see” Harry said, pulling off his glasses and looking at them, before casting a repair spell and placing them back on, “There we go.”

“How did they get broke?”

“When Alex hit me she accidentally broke them” he shrugged, adjusting his glasses.

“Sorry about that Harry” they turned to see the two vampires had returned and Alex was leaning against the wall.

“It's alright” he smiled at her and she nodded, before walking off with Khira and the others.

“So Draco, what exactly are you doing for the holidays?” Pansy asked.

“Hermione and I agreed to go back to the estate with Alex and Khira. We'll have the ritual there and then spend the rest of the holidays with them” he said watching the women leave.

“What about you Potter?” Harry looked over as Ginny snuggled closer to him.

“I'll be at the Burrow with the Weasley's but on Christmas we're all going to the estate. Alex invited everyone for dinner.”

“You're all so lucky” she said with a sigh, “My father wants me to go with him and my mother to the estate that's in the countryside.”

“Near Yorkshire?” Draco asked and she nodded “Should see if you can ditch them and join us at the estate.”

They all sat around talking for a bit more before walking up to the Great Hall for lunch. Sitting down at the end of the Gryffindor table, they were joined by Seamus, Dean, and Neville. Harry and the others started talking about Quidditch and Hermione and Pansy rolled their eyes at them all. There was a squeak above them and they all looked up to see an owl flying towards them that landed in front of Hermione. She took the letter from the owl and fed it a piece of the crust from her sandwich, and the bird flew off.

“Another letter from Amelia?” Draco asked as she opened it.

“She's still trying to get me to move in with her after school is over.”

Over the past few weeks Amelia was pressing Hermione in her letters about moving in with her. It was putting a strain on their relationship. She had firmly told Amelia that she would not do so, but Amelia refused to accept it, worrying about Hermione's safety once she was unprotected by the school. This letter was no different than the last three she'd received. Hermione sighed and folded the letter up, placing it on the table, before going back to eating. Once they all finished she decided to study for a bit and stood, grabbing the letter before walking back to the Heads common room. She entered and went into her room to grab her books before coming back out to see Draco just walking in. She sat on the couch and opened her Potions book just as Draco sat next to her. She sighed and looked at him before closing the book.

“How do I get her to understand that I don't want to move in with her?” She asked quietly, and he wrapped his arm around her.

“I don't know Hermione. She's just worried about your safety.”

“I don't want to move in with her. I want to go with you back to the estate” Draco smirked and kissed her forehead.

“Maybe have Alex visit with her and talk to her? Maybe they can work on some sort of arrangement” She smiled as he said this and rested her head on his chest.

“You willing to go with me to do so?” she looked up at him and his smirk grew.

“You get to ask that and I get to annoy Alex? Of course I'll go with you” he stood up and held his hand out for her before she took it and stood with him, “No better time than the present to go talk to them.”

Hermione smiled and the two of them walked out of the room and towards Alex's office where she was eating her lunch. Upon arriving they noticed Khira was seated at a piano in the corner and she smiled at them as she played a soft melody.

“Amelia still sending letters?” Alex asked and Hermione nodded, “Let me guess. You want me to talk to her and try and convince her to allow you to come back to the estate?”

“Yes, or maybe make some kind of arrangement with her that will work for all of us. I'm at my wits end with her” the young witch said and Khira chuckled from the corner.

“Remember my father when he found out about us love?” she said and Alex rolled her eyes while the blond explained, “My father refused to acknowledge Alex as my wife for the five years of our marriage. He was in complete denial but deep down he knew we were really bonded. He tried so hard to get me to marry this young man he knew from the Netherlands but I refused to do it. I had eyes for only one person and refused to look elsewhere.”

“The guy was alright looking but he wasn't me. I'd already won and nothing was taking my mate from me” Alex stated and they both chuckled, “Not even some Dutch aristocrat who liked wearing bright purple robes.”

“Don't forget the hair. The guy's hair could never be kept in control. He looked like he was constantly being struck by electricity” They all laughed at the description just as the bell rung to start their next class.

“Both of you get going to your class and I will floo call your grandmother tonight and talk with her Hermione. I am sure this will work itself out in the long run.”

“Thanks Alex” she said and the two left the class room, before swinging back to grab their books and heading off to their Arithmancy class.

On Friday, Hermione was walking down the halls to the entrance hall to meet up with Ginny and Pansy. The three had decided to shop for dresses for the dance they'd organized the following week for Yule. They'd agreed to not make it as formal as the Halloween ball so Hermione decided she wanted a simple silver dress. Draco was choosing to wear a silver shirt and black pants. Upon reaching the entrance hall she spotted Ginny and hugged her. Just as they pulled apart Pansy arrived and they all started walking towards the gates. As they approached the gates they noticed Tonks was there and was in a heated discussion with Remus. As they drew closer to say hello the two quieted down and turned to them.

“Hello you two” Hermione said and they smiled.

“Hello Hermione, Ginny, and Ms. Parkinson correct?” Tonks asked and the dark haired girl nodded.

“Yes that is correct. It is good to finally meet you officially.”

“Likewise” Tonks said before glaring at someone behind them, “Hello Kruss.”

“No need to be so sour Nymphadora.”

“How many times do I have to tell you-”

“Oh you know I'm just joking with you Tonks!” Alex started chuckling and they noticed Tonks hair turning red, “I was actually wondering if you and Remus would like to join Khira and I in the village for some lunch.”

“Sorry but we've got to stay here” the younger girl stated with a fake smile, but Remus frowned.

“Dora it is quite rude to act like that. I'm sure after all the students have gone to the village we could join them” he said and the young witch glared at him.

“I do not want to go Remus” she stated angrily.

“Tonks would it be alright if just Remus joined us? I was only wishing to speak to the two of you over lunch about something that was recently brought to my attention. It involved some former friends of ours when Remus and I attended Hogwarts” Alex stated and the werewolf turned to his wife.

“You can go if you wish Remus, but I need to stay here.”

“Are you sure you will be alright?” he asked and she nodded.

“Go with them. I have Shacklebolt and Moody here if there is a problem” she said and he hugged her and kissed her quickly.

“I'll be back in an hour or so” he said before following the two vampires into the village, Tonks watching them with a glare.

“Why do you despise Alex so much?” Hermione asked.

“I just have never gotten along with her.”

“You should give her a chance and see what you think of her afterward” Hermione said and Tonks sighed.

“I'll try Hermione, but don't blame me if I don't get along with her very well.”

“We better get going though. See you Tonks!” Ginny said and they all waved before running off into the village.

In the village Alex and Khira sat across from Remus waiting for their meal to arrive, lightly chatting and drinking mead. Alex looked around and made sure there was no one watching or trying to listen in before reaching into her robes and pulling out a book and placing it on the table in front of them. Remus looked at it before looking up at her with a confused gaze.

“A Life in the Dark by Lily Potter” he read the title quietly, “What is this?”

“We found it at Harry's when we picked him up during the summer. I asked Harry if I could read it because I believed Lily wrote this before she died and it reveals some things she was apprehensive about. I was right to assume so” Alex stated.

“What did you read in it?”

“There's a paragraph in here that speaks about how Lily believed that Dumbledore knew all along what Voldemort was doing. Do you remember how Dumbledore refused to send them to Romania when the Russian Ministry offered it?”

“Yes I do. James told Dumbledore he wanted to go but Dumbledore said not to trust them” he stated, looking at the book.

“The prophecy for Harry was only two weeks prior to that. In here Lily states that she felt that Dumbledore wanted to keep them in the UK so they could draw the Dark Lord out of hiding” Alex stated showing him the paragraph and letting him read it.

“You think Dumbledore did all of this for power?”

“I don't think he intentionally did it, but Dumbledore knows what I've been training those kids to do” she said “I saw his memories from recently and one of them was of a conversation he had with Snape where he told him about it.”

“What have you been training them for?” he asked before she leaned over the table.

“I can't tell you. The less people that know the better. I can however say that it's something that will change the outcome of this war greatly.”

“Harry is practically my godson Alex. I want to know what's going on! I swear I shall tell no one else but Nymphadora Tonks, my wife and bonded. I swear it on my life” he said and his body glowed lightly with the oath.

She sighed and looked over at Khira who nodded to him. As she looked back at Remus she searched his mind lightly and saw he was being sincere.

“Alright, I'll tell you, but please stay calm when you hear this” she said before noticing movement nearby.

-Someone's listening in-

-Where Alex?-

-The booth diagonal of us.-

-You sure love?-

-Yes I'm sure Khira. Wait here.-

“I'm going to go to the restroom really fast and then I will explain” Alex stated before standing up.

She looked at Khira briefly before walking towards the restroom. Once inside she noticed someone had followed and stood near the sinks pretending to wash her hands. When she was done she discreetly pulled out her wand and shot a stunning spell at the shadow; knocking them down. As they fell she turned and grabbed them and was surprised to see it was a male vampire. She quickly moved them to a stall just as Khira came into the room and locked the door with a quick spell.

“Who is it?” She asked, before Alex pulled off their hood to reveal their face and gasped.

“Leskov. Viktor Leskov”

“The auror from Cissa's funeral?” Alex nodded.

“He must have been watching us for months” the dark haired witch replied before checking his pockets and pulling out a notepad he had, “He's been making notes about us. Writing down schedule details and such.”

“When is the earliest note?”

“Just after we went and picked up Draco and the others from Harry's” Alex continued searching but stopped upon seeing the mark on his left arm, lifting his sleeve to reveal a dark mark, “We need to get rid of him.”

“Alex your stunning spell won't last much longer. How are we going to get rid of him?”

“We need a stake” she looked around before noticing a broom in the corner, “Hand me that broom quickly!”

Khira quickly grabbed the broom and tossed it to Alex. She broke the handle quickly before standing over the vampire. Quickly she plunged it into his chest and watched his eyes fly open before his body started flaking away and slowly turned to dust. When it stopped there was nothing but a large pile of ashes where he once was.

“Rosmerta is going to kill us” Khira said, waving her wand to clean up the ashes and fix all the broken stuff.

“Remus still here?” Khira nodded and led them back to the table where Remus looked at them both oddly.

“Everything alright?”

“We took care of the vampire” Khira stated and he sighed.

“What was it you were going to tell me before that happened?”

“Do you know what the Amulets of the Elements are?” Alex asked him.

“You have got to be joking!” he said with a look of disbelief but Alex shook her head, “They exist?”

“I own all four of them.”

“You're training them to use the elemental spells?” Khira smirked and nodded.

“Hermione is learning earth, Draco is learning air, Ronald is learning water, and Harry is learning fire.”

“I cannot believe this!” he paused to take a large drink from his beer before staring at the table, “How are they doing so far?”

“They've mastered the defensive aspect and are working on the offensive for each element. When they master that we will teach them to combine them.”

“And Harry's Occlumency lessons? Has he continued them with Snape?”

“No I taught him. He's now able to push me out completely head on but at random he's still a little dodgy on it” Alex took a drink of her mead just as a waitress came over with their food.

“I cannot believe what I'm hearing” the man stated in shock.

“Believe it Remus because its the truth” Khira stated, taking a small bite of her potatoes and grimacing “Don't touch your food Alex. There's garlic in it.”

The other two chuckled at this and started talking about random topics. After about ten minutes they looked up and noticed Tonks had walked inside the pub. She walked over and sat down next to Remus stating that Moody had relieved her and wanted her to take the rest of the day off. Alex sat back and observed the two before noticing the aura that surrounded Tonks. She noticed the slight green aura but then the blue aura that was around her stomach and smirked.

-Tonks is pregnant.-

-What?-

-Look through me at her auras and you'll see love.-

-Wow! I could barely tell! How far along do you think she is?-

-She's using a concealment charm but I'm guessing around five months.-

-Should we ask them about it?-

-No they will announce it when they wish to tell everyone.-

Khira smiled at her wife and nodded before joining in the conversation with the werewolf, discussing with him a possible new version of the Wolfsbane potion he normally took. He listened intently to her theories and provided his input on the current effects he endured. After about twenty minutes the four of them agreed to part ways and the two vampires walked back slowly to the gates. On their way they ran into Luna who said that Hermione and the others were still in town but they would be there soon. The nodded to the blond before looking behind them to see Hermione and the other girls coming up the path, Draco and the guys behind them laughing and talking about quidditch. Hermione and Pansy noticed Alex and waved before all of them headed up to the castle. They all walked up to the common room and upon entering piled together on the couches, snuggling with their partners.

“Alex why don't you and I play a song together?” Khira asked and she nodded.

“What kind of song?” Alex said, leaning against the piano.

“I'll let you decide. I just want to hear you playing again. It's been so long.”

“Alright I'll do it but I think first we'll start with a simple one” she said going into their bedroom and returning a moment later with a violin.

Khira smiled and sat down at the piano, playing a few random chords. Hermione and the others sat down while Alex tuned the violin before she started playing. Khira smiled upon hearing the first chords of the song and joined her on the piano.

When they finished the song all of them clapped and Alex smiled before smirking at Khira. She cleared her throat and as she started playing Khira covered her mouth stunned at the song she chose. Hermione noticed she was fighting from trying not to cry and upon hearing the music recognized the song instantly and smiled, leaning into Draco's chest. The song, The Rose, was one her grandmother had played many times when she was a child. The song was obviously one Alex had played numerous times for Khira.

At the end of the song Hermione glanced at Khira and saw she was fully crying now and her face was red. She stood up and hugged Alex kissing her deeply. The dark haired witch wiped her face and they continued singing and playing various songs for the group. After a couple more songs Draco and the others started singing along to the songs they knew and laughing at the ones they didn't. For nearly three hours they each sung along to the songs and laughed forgetting the problems around them. As they all got ready to go to dinner that evening Alex glanced at her wife and couldn't help smiling and thinking that fate was in their favor.
