A/N: So, here's today's installment. I didn't finish this story over my vacation as tonight I go back to work. But I did manage to get a lot of writing done. I've written this through chapter 40 and things are coming to head, so the end is in sight.

Chapter 35

Hermione froze as she felt the anger radiating from her mate. She didn't know if the anger was directed at her or Sirius. She could only imagine what it looked like was going on when he walked in.

"Draco…" she trailed off as his eyes glowed eerily silver in the semi darkness of the library.

"Quiet," he murmured softly as he strode forward confidently. Turning his attention toward Sirius, she watched fearfully as he squirmed uncomfortably. "Just what do you think you're doing Black?"

His voice was calm but his emotions were another story entirely. She'd never felt him so angry. She pressed herself further into the wall trying to put more space between herself and Sirius. This situation was a powderkeg that was threatening to blow wide open.

"I was merely offering my services, Draco," Sirius answered calmly. She had to give credit where credit was due. His voice didn't waver even though he was scared. His thoughts betrayed just how potentially volatile things could become. "It's not safe for her to leave the house. You know that she is number three on Voldemort's hit list. I don't want to see her hurt. I was just letting her know that I was here if she needed to sate her hunger."

"Really?" Draco drawled as he closed the distance even further. Sirius stepped away from her entirely to show Draco that he wasn't as big a threat as he portrayed. Draco halted his pursuit as he regarded the man before him. "The last time I checked, Black, feeding didn't involve kissing. So just why was your lips attached to the face of my mate?"

His voice was quiet, deadly as he voiced his question. Hermione knew that he didn't quite believe the words that Sirius told him.

"You know how Hermione is," Sirius argued. "She needed a push. So I bit my lip and kissed her. I hoped that the taste of my blood would get her to accept what I was offering. You and I both know that she never would have gone for it otherwise."

"Did it not occur to you to just ask her?" Draco seethed. "She's a big girl and she knows how to handle herself."

"I did ask, you bloody idiot," Sirius yelled. "And guess what, she said no, that she preferred the hunt."

"Stop," she hissed. She'd had enough of this already. They were talking about her as if she wasn't even there.

"Stop talking about me as if I'm not standing here. As you so rightly pointed out, I'm a big girl and I can handle myself. Draco, it's as he says and it's not as if I don't appreciate the offer Sirius. I do. But I don't feel comfortable feeding on anyone that I know. There are things that happen to me while feeding and I have no doubt that you know to what I'm exactly referring to. So just stop. Get the idea out of your head. It's never going to happen."

Her eyes darted between Draco and Sirius. Draco seemed mollified but Sirius looked as if he might argue further.

"Padfoot," she pleaded gently. "Don't make me have to glamour the thought from your head. You do know that I can read minds, right? I'm with Draco and I have no need to look elsewhere."

"But you're too good for him, Princess," he whispered dejectedly.

"That's not for you to decide," she returned evenly. "I know it to be truth. I belong with him. Even if you don't like it."

She stepped to Draco's side and he looped an arm around her waist possessively. She concentrated on sending affection through their bond. She hoped that he wasn't angry at her because Sirius overstepped the boundary.

Sirius eyed her for a bit more and then left the room hurriedly, his thoughts centered morosely on the fact that he knew that he was doomed to be lonely. She felt bad for him. She really did. But there was nothing that she could do for him on that front. She belonged with Draco. She knew it in her soul.

"Are we quite done here?" Snape asked coldly. "That was the most disgusting display that I've ever seen."

Hermione didn't argue with him but she knew from his mind that he'd seen far worse. She nodded her head as his black eyes pierced her own. "Dumbledore wants the two of you to venture out and gather the rest of the horcruxes. He says that the final battle is imminent and it is of the utmost importance to destroy those things before we embark on the final road to end that tyrant's life."

Hermione locked eyes with Draco and nodded. She knew exactly where and what to look for. With any luck, they could gather the objects in just a few days. Then she knew that they were only a step away from confronting the madman.

End Note:Thoughts? I've recently had another 'review' stating that all my stories sound the same. Same plot, same end, same everything. So, I'll just straight up ask, when you read more stories, do you think that they are all the same? Should I just scrap writing altogether since I can't seem to write anything original? I wish my reviewer had signed in so that I could go and check out her stories so that I could see how I'm supposed to write. Sorry, rant over. I guess I'm just feeling a little morose. See you Friday...

P.S. My work schedule is ramping up for the holidays(Wal-Mart) and I'll not have as much time to write. I will do my very best to keep this story on schedule since we are so near to the end.
