Chapter 43
Hermione didn't tell anyone what she planned to do. She would stand back and watch while Voldemort hit Harry with the killing curse. But she wouldn't wait to see if Harry woke up. She would finish it right then. She would be able to take him by surprise. He wouldn't even know she was there. He would be dead before he realized what was happening.
At least that's how she hoped things would play out. As for Harry, she could only wait and see if he woke up. She wasn't ready to be a maker just yet. She was still acclimating to being a vampire herself. She wasn't sure what she would do if Harry woke up as a vampire.
She was sure that she would have to finally divulge what she was to the world. She'd told Draco that she was tired of hiding. And she was. But she wasn't sure if she was ready to face the public at large just yet. Vampires were heavily persecuted. She wasn't sure if she was ready to face the public backlash. And if she'd turned the chosen one into a vampire she was sure that there would be plenty.
She would just take things as they come, one step at a time. With Draco by her side, she could face anything. She felt guilty though. She hadn't told him of her plans. She was sure that he would try to stop her, maybe even command her not to interfere. She couldn't take the chance of that happening. So, she kept her plans to herself.
The few days leading up to Monday passed slowly. She spent all of her time with Draco and Harry. It hurt to think about it, but these might be the last days that they spent with each other. You never knew what might happen. Something might go wrong with any one of their separate missions. And if something happened to either her or Draco, they would both die.
Monday morning Hermione sought Harry out. She had to give him her blood one more time before the battle. He was almost embarrassed this time since her knew what effects that it would have on him.
"Harry," she explained patiently. "It's necessary. I have to make sure that you have enough of my blood in you for it to work. It's a perfectly natural reaction."
"I-I know," he stammered and blushed. "It's…it's just hard for me to think of you like that, you know."
She smiled broadly at him. It was cute and strangely endearing. "I know, Harry. It's a little odd for me too. But I will do everything necessary to protect you. Come on, not much time you know. Draco and I still have to feed after this."
She bit her wrist, leaving a long bloody gash. She sat next to Harry and offered him her wrist. She bit back a moan as his mouth closed around the wound. She waited, crossing her legs as the familiar ache took up residence between her legs. She would be glad that she didn't have to do this again.
She pulled her hand away after the wound closed. He would be safe now. "Thank you," he muttered quietly, his cheeks tinged a very becoming shade of fuchsia pink. "I'll never be able to thank you enough, Hermione. You've always been there for me."
"You don't have to thank me," she said as she turned to leave his bedroom. "It's what friends do."
She left him alone and Draco was waiting for her in the hallway. "Are you ready?" he asked as he grasped her hand.
She nodded and they left to hunt. They gorged themselves. They had to be at their full strength that night. There was too much at risk. Too many lives depended on them to be at the top of their game. They slaked their thirst for blood and then they returned to Grimmald Place and satisfied their need for each other. They spent the whole afternoon pleasuring each other and burning the lust out of their systems. They couldn't afford to have any unnecessary distractions that night.
They lay coiled around each other after they were finished, basking in the warm afterglow. She nuzzled up to her mate and finally found the courage to voice what she had figured out a few weeks ago.
"I love you," she whispered as she kissed his bare chest.
She didn't wait for him to answer. She didn't need to hear it back. She just wanted him to know how she felt before they stormed into his family's house. She buried her face into the skin of his neck. She felt his throat constrict as he swallowed.
"Do you really mean that?" he asked, his voice tremulous.
Hermione opened her end of the bond and showed him just how she felt. She didn't hide anything as she laid her soul bare to him. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tighter against him. She could feel what he didn't voice. He loved her as well.
End Note: Aweee... a little fluff before all the action. Thoughts? How do you think the battle should turn out? Hmmm... I know what happens. I'll see you Tuesday, my lovely readers.
