A/N: Sorry about the total update failure on Friday. I worked a fifteen hour shift at work on Black Friday, my husband totaled our only vehicle, and he went to jail. All in all, it's been a terrible week. I haven't even been able to get my mind settled enough to write. I can't sleep and I haven't been eating due to all the anxiety and stress. Long story short, I'm a basket case. But I didn't want to leave you beautiful readers in the lurch. So here I am even though I don't feel like doing more than curling up into a ball and crying. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I had a lot of fun writing it before my life spun completely out of control.

Chapter 40

Draco left the room not long after Dumbledore. He said that he needed to speak with Dobby. Hermione sat next to Harry and held his hand.

"Are you okay with this?" she asked gently as she traced the veins in his hand.

She watched as he swallowed. "I don't know," he answered finally. "I don't know what to think. Everything is happening so quickly. And not at all like how I'd expected it to, you know."

"I know," she murmured. "But that wasn't what I was asking. I was asking if you were okay with taking my blood. If he kills you, which we know that we have to let him do, you may not come back as a human. You may come back as a vampire. You'll be different."

He nodded. "I know. But I'm not ready to die," he whispered. "There's too much out there that I've never experienced. Too much that I've never done. Do you know that I've never really kissed a girl properly? I mean, there was Choo in the fourth year but she doesn't count, not really. She was cute but she wasn't the one for me."

"Do you know who the one for you is?" Hermione asked curiously. She had an idea but she'd never seen Harry act on it.

"I really like Ginny," Harry whispered as his cheeks tinged pink. "But I didn't want to get into it with Ron."

Hermione nodded. "He isn't very understanding on his best days," she agreed. "But you can't let what he thinks dictate how you live you life."

He nodded and she switched the subject back to what needed to be said. "So, enough diversion. What do you think, Harry? What do you want? Taking my blood isn't something to take lightly. If you do wake up as a vamp, there will be consequences," she explained. " I will be your maker for one. That just means that there will be a tie between us, and emotional tie. And I will be able to command you to do things. Commands that you will have to follow or it will cause you pain. Not that I would do that to you if I didn't have to, but the thought is there. You will never grow old and you will never die. You will never be able to have children. And you may have a mate. And it's something that you don't choose. I mean, I ended up with Draco Malfoy. It's possible that you could end up with Dolores Umbridge."

She paused her speech as a visible shudder passed over her friend. "That's not something to joke about," he retorted.

"It's no joke," she assured. "I just want you to know the facts. I didn't know much when I was turned."

"How did it happen?" he asked curiously. "How did Malfoy convince you to be his mate?"

She looked her friend in the eyes before taking the plunge. He might as well know. "He tricked me. He tricked me into a witches bond and then he made the mate bond before I knew what was happening."

"You didn't have a choice?" he asked incredulously. He stood up suddenly, anger darkening his features. "I can't believe him! I'll…"

"Calm down, Harry," she pulled him back down on the couch. "I understand why he did it. I'm not saying that what he did wasn't wrong, but I understand," she explained when she saw that he meant to argue with her. "There are things about him that no one knows and it has really messed with him as a person. It has made him who he is and influenced how he acts. I understand and forgive him for what he did. I'm happy now Harry. That's all that matters. The question is, could you be happy as a vampire? Is it worth the risk? Albus had theorized that a killing curse might just kill the piece of Tom's soul inside you and then you would wake up as just you. But do you want to take that chance? I won't force my blood into you. It will be your choice. But I don't want you to die."

"I know," he said affectionately. "You're a good friend. My best friend and my sister. And I trust you. I'd be honored if you gave me your blood."

Hermione smiled at him and her eyes filled with bloody tears. She blinked them away before they fell. She didn't want to bleed all over her friend.

"So, how does this work?" he asked nonchalantly. She was grateful. She was a little nervous. She'd never given anyone her blood, other than Draco.

"Well," she explained. "I have to take some of your blood, quite a bit actually. And then I'll give you a large portion of mine. Then, if something happens and you actually die, then you will sleep for a day and wake up as a vampire."

"A day," he exclaimed. "But what about Riddle? I can't kill him if I'm asleep."

"Relax," she assured him. "We will kill him if you don't wake up. With all the horcruxes gone, any one of us will be able to finish him off."

"Oh," he said. "Sounds simple."

She laughed. He was nervous and it was cute.

"Don't worry, Harry," she soothed. "It's not as bad as you're thinking. I won't take advantage of you. You may, however, need to rub one out afterwards. Vampire blood does act as an aphrodisiac."

His cheeks flamed and she laughed again. "Not helping," he gritted.

"I'm sorry," she said. "I couldn't help myself. But it is true. I was only giving you fair warning."

"Can we," he asked, his eyes squeezed shut in embarrassment. "Just get this over with? This is bad enough as it is."

"Sure," she chirped and pulled him closer. "Just relax."

She moved closer and licked the vein in his neck, preparing him for her bite. It was a little strange to be licking her best friend's neck but she went through it. She wouldn't let him die. Not when he really hadn't even lived.

His vein popped up as his heart rate increased. Her fangs clicked into place and he jumped against her mouth. "Relax," she whispered. "It won't hurt."

She pierced his skin slowly and drank deeply. Harry moaned against her throat as she drank. She knew that it felt good. She heard from his thoughts that he was amazed by how good it felt. He was thinking that he should have tried to be a bit more persuasive when he offered for her to feed from him before. Then his thoughts went to Sirius and the scene the other day. He understood now why Sirius was trying so hard to get her to feed from him.

She pulled her teeth from his neck and healed the wounds with her saliva. There would be no lasting marks. They didn't want anyone to know what they had done. She raised her wrist and tore it open, wincing as she did so. Just because she was a vampire didn't mean that she didn't feel any pain.

She pressed her bleeding wrist to his mouth. "Drink, Harry," she whispered. "Drink as much as you can."

She suppressed her rising desire as he pulled her blood from her body. It really was erotic having someone drink from you. Even if it wasn't your mate. She felt the tie form between them and she knew that he had drank enough. She might have to get him to take her blood one more time before the fight. She wouldn't take his again. She had enough that she'd always be able to track him.

She smiled as he sat up in a daze and then bolted for the bathroom. She knew from his thoughts that he was going to take her advice. She exited the library as well, tracking down her mate. She had her own problem to take care of.

End Note: So, thoughts? I thought Harry was very cute in this chapter. Just a side note, I will do my very best to get back on schedule. I have two maybe three chapters more to write and then this will be complete. thanks for all your support. : )
