Harry's Room Leaky Cauldron

Hermione followed Harry into his room before closing the door. She then stood there and her eyes widened as Harry transfigured a stool and a the bedside table into a table and two chairs.

"Harry, How did you do that? That type of transfiguration is not taught until our NEWT years."

Harry paused what he was doing, he had forgotten that he could use advance spells, and showing them off to Hermione would just make her ask more questions. He decided to carry on for now after all no point going half-way on a job. Once he was satisfied he held out a chair and watched Hermione walk over to it before sitting down. He could see the Volcano of questions in her mind, just waiting to erupt. He pushed her in before sitting down himself. He looked over to her to see that she was still giving him her famous what are you up too look.

"I know you have a lot of question Hermione, and I will try to answer as many as I can, however there will be few that I can't answer."

Hermione nodded in understanding. "Ok fair enough, what exactly happened down there with the Weasley's? Were you being serious in what you were saying about Molly and professor Dumbledore creating a marriage contract for you and Ginny?"

Harry looked over to his best friend. "Everything I said down there is true. Today I not only got my core unblocked but also learnt a number of things. Example Ron has been paid 10,000 galleons from my vault every year since we started at Hogwarts, for being my friend."

Hermione looked down she didn't doubt Harry in that statement, after all she knew just how greedy Ron could be. You only had to observe him at the evening feast at Hogwarts to see the greed in his eyes. Hermione shook her head of the thought of Ron at the dinner table, she was about to eat and didn't want to be put off from eating her own food. She was about to ask another question when there was a knock on the door. Harry opened it and took a the tray from Tom.

"Cheers Tom, could you put it on my tab, and I will pay you before I leave."

Tom shook his head. "No need Lord Potter, your board is all being paid for by the Ministry, food included, so there is no charge."

Harry nodded in thanks then closed the door behind him, he then served Hermione her plate, and sat back down with his own. He noticed Hermione was about to take a bite of food when she paused.

"If your core was blocked, who did it? As I have read that blocking someone core is illegal in the wizarding world."

Harry sighed. "If I told you I doubt you would believe me anyway."

Hermione frowned and slammed her knife and fork down. "What do you mean by that Harry!"

Harry put his own fork down. "You have too much respect for authority figures Hermione. You seem to think everything they say and do is law. Tell me If Snape asked you to get down on your knees and give him head in a detention would you do it?"

Hermione eyes widened at what Harry had just said. "Harry that is so inappropriate to ask especially at a dinner table. But to answer your question no I wouldn't., I would know that it was wrong to do so."

Harry smiled. "Sorry bad example. Ok try this one. If Dumbledore asked you to spy on me would you do it?"

Hermione frowned. "Of course I wouldn't do it, your my friend Harry, I could never betray you like that."

Harry leaned back in his chair. "Then you see my point, just because your asked or told to do something doesn't mean you have to do it. Now if tell you who placed the blocks on my core you promise to keep an open mind?"

Hermione nodded. And watched as Harry took a bite to eat before putting his fork down again.

"It was Dumbledore Hermione. My core was blocked by over 90% all I had to use was 10%, same for my academic abilities, he blocked those as he didn't want me being to smart. My whole life as been fabricated by his hands Hermione, I am just surprised I never saw it at the beginning. For example, he knew Molly Weasley would be at King Cross station on my first trip to the platform, I mean what women shouts at the top of her voice filled with muggles every year, and how to get to Platform nine and three quarters, when she has already sent four children to Hogwarts already. Dumbledore wanted me to find Molly because he wanted me to feel loved and part of a family, something he had made damn sure I never had at my relatives. Not to mention it was the perfect way to meet Ron."

Hermoine bit her lip, she didn't want to believe it but everything Harry was saying seemed to make sense. The question was, why would their Headmaster do such a thing?

"Ok I can see how all that makes sense about the Weasley's but what logical explanation is there for why the headmaster would want to block your core in the first place. I mean for one thing it is extremely dangerous to do."

Harry sighed it was too early to tell her about his role in the stupid prophecy. He placed is knife and fork down and pretended to go with the just agree with her approach for now.

"I don't know Hermione, although with the contract between me and Ginny, being written the way it was, he must have had some idea that I wasn't going to survive, now how could he possibly know that? I don't remember reading on the back of his Chocolate frog card that he was a seer. The only logical explanation I can come up with was he was planning to kill me off just after I had tied the knot with Ginny, meaning my estate would be split down the middle, just like the contract stipulates."

Hermione shook her head, Blocking someones core was one thing, but then accusing the same person of attempted murder was another. Hermione couldn't believe Dumbledore would kill anyone, it wasn't in his nature, he was all about forgiving, not retribution.

"Look lets change the subject as I can see it is upsetting you a little, hows your summer been?"

Harry knew Hermione was ignoring the whole Dumbledore thing, and no doubt thought he was absolutely off his rocker for accusing the Headmaster of their school for attempted murder. However he again decided to just accept it and carried on with his conversation with Hermione.

"Well, apart from being a slave for half the summer , and then accidentally blowing my aunt , not much, what about you?"

Hermione paused in her dinner, she was well aware how the Dursley treated Harry. After all she had seen the scars for herself, when he was in the hospital bed last year. She had not told Harry she had seen them. She knew he was very withdrawn about such issues. She could tell that they were not self inflicted though and that made her angry.

"Mum and dad took me to France for the week. We stayed in a little cottage in Monaco. Really nice it was, maybe next summer I could ask them if you could join us. It will get you away from your relatives after all."

Harry shook his head. "You're forgetting about the suppose blood wards around my relatives house, they only work when I am there, according to Dumbledore they are charged by the the protection in my blood from my mother, I have to be there five weeks of the six otherwise the wards don't charge and my relatives could be in danger. To be honest I couldn't give a flying fuck if anything did happen to them."

"Language Harry! You have changed over the summer. Normally you wouldn't use such language, your normally so polite."

Harry laughed. "That's what Dumbledore programmed me to be Hermione, but I am tired of playing by his rules, besides you only live once" Well in his case seven times but still Hermione didn't need to know that just yet.

Harry got up and walked over to his bed before pulling out two bottles. "Want one WKD, being a adult wizard has it's perks."

Hermione looked down at the bottle being given to her. She could not believe it, Harry Potter was giving her alcohol."

"Are you mad Harry, I am fourteen, same age as you. We can't drink this, it is against the law!"

Harry put one of the bottle back in his trunk. "Suit yourself." he then opened a bottle with his wand and took a swig.

"Sweet"

Hermione just sat there not knowing what to do. Her best friend was laying on his bed drinking alcohol, granted it was only a small amount but still he was fourteen in the muggle world this was illegal. Not knowing what to do, She got down from the table and sat on the edge of his bed, she looked to see Harry offering her the bottle again. Finally curiosity got the better of her and she decided to try some. She was surprised that she could hardly taste the alcohol, just the fruit juice it was hidden in.

Harry looked to the ceiling and raised his hand in mock prayer. "Oh my god, Hermione is finally living on the edge a little."

The two of them carried on drinking until late in the evening. Hermione was already planning to stay at the Leaky Cauldron, as they would be boarding the Hogwarts express tomorrow. She tried to get up off the bed but found her world spinning. She suddenly bust out giggling, causing Harry to stir beside her. He used his wand to do a quick tempus spell. However he suddenly found his wand knocked out of his hand as his best friend rolled on top of him giggling. He was regretting offering the drink now, it seemed she was totally gone, where he wasn't even tipsy. He noticed she started to trace her finger down his body.

"You know Harry. You're really cute, in fact you're damn hot."

Harry tried to push Hermione off him, however that just made her straddle his waist even more. He was sure that Jenny was kicking off in the after life now. Hermione was clearly not part of the plan.

"Hermione you need to get off now, you#re starting to act weird. Why don't you have the bed and and I will take the floor, you're in no condition to walk to your room."

Harry tried to get out of bed only for Hermione to smash her lips onto his. Harry was really freaked out now, he had no clue what to do. He made sure his arms were stationed at his side, as not to touch anything that could get him hexed.

"Harry why are you not kissing back? Don't you like me?"

While she was saying this she was rubbing the bulge that just seemed to suddenly appear from his lower half. She then leaned and kissed him again.

Harry hissed as Hermione carried on rubbing, he knew Hermione was not in the right frame of mind and these question and actions were just the alcohol talking, however he had to admit that he deserved a medal for ignoring the temptation, sure Hermione was not as hot as Daphne, but she was still good looking, she was a girl laying on top of him kissing him, and basically giving him an open invitation to do what the hell he liked. He decided the only best thing to do was to allow her to sleep it off. He swore that he would never offer her Alcohol again. He knew she was not going to get off him on her own, so he grabbed his wand and pointed it her.

"Harry what are you doing?"

Suddenly Hermione fell face down on his chest as she glowed red briefly. Harry seeing Hermione stunned lifted her off himself and pulled the cover down, before tucking her up under the covers. He then transfigured the table into a small camp bed and climbed in before closing his eyes and allowing sleep to take over him.

Next day

Harry woke up to someone poking him, he turned to see a very messed up Hermione looking at him. Her hair was in a complete mess and her eyes were half shut.

"Harry what happened last night? I don't remember much after our dinner, Ah I have such a headache."

Harry sighed before climbing out of the camp bed. "Well you had some WKD and then suddenly went all weird. I assumed you were drunk, you started to come on to me. It got to the point where you kissed me, after that I knew the best thing to do was to stun you, and then let you sleep it off."

Hermione hid her head under the pillow. "Oh how embarrassing, I am really sorry Harry. I've never gotten drunk before."

Harry gave her his trademark grin. "Don't worry about it, is my fault for giving it to you in the first place. I guess I allowed the I am an adult wizard thing to go to my head a little. I will just nip down and get you a hangover cure from Tom, after that you should be ok."

Hermione nodded and fell back onto the bed. She watched the door close. She laid back thinking what could have happened last night. She was at Harry's mercy, yet he had not even attempted to do anything with her. She knew any other boy would have likely taken her there and then last night, but not Harry. She sighed at how lucky she was to have him as a friend and who knows maybe more this year, as her feeling had began to change towards her best friend.

Leaky Cauldron.

Harry walked downstairs to see Tom behind the bar, he was about to walk towards the bar when he noticed a all to familiar rat scurrying across the floor. Harry smiled. Now was his chance. He pointed his wand at the rat and stunned it. He then transfigured a dirty glass into a steel box with holes in it and levitated the rat inside. He then shrunk it down and placed it in his pocket. And whistled towards the bar.

"Morning Tom could I get a hangover cure and order two English breakfast for room 102 please."

Tom ducked under the counter before producing a small vial of liquid. Harry gave him a few galleons and walked upstairs. He opened the door and almost dropped the vial as he walked in on Hermione getting changed. He noticed the shocked expression on her face as she moved behind the screen.

"Harry! You could have knocked?"

Harry quickly turned his back on Hermione, he had gotten a good view of everything, and noticed his friend downstairs had woken up. He tried to think of anything none sexual, Snape doing Umbridge seemed to do the trick, however Harry was going to make sure he wiped that thought straight from his mind.

"You can turn around now Harry."

Harry turned around to see Hermione sitting at the dresser brushing her hair. He quickly placed the vial on the top.

"Sorry about the Mione, I didn't mean to walk in on you getting changed."

Hermione Giggled. "Harry it's ok, besides it was an accident, wasn't like you were trying to spy on me. Is this the cure?"

Harry nodded and watched Hermione down the contents before shaking her head and making a disgusted face.

"Hmm Lovely. I don't think I will be drinking again too soon."

Harry laughed and then walked to his trunk before placing the metal cage inside it. Now all he needed to do was wait for the right time and Sirius would be freed.
