Staying At Grimmauld Place.

Chapter One

Her rings glistened on her fingers. No one knew where or who they had come from. Whether they had come from a special someone - due to the location of the diamond one. Whether they were from a muggle shop or a family heirlooms.

They saw her back stiffen as they each cast enchantments but she made no comment. They were magical items. There were protective enchantments were soldered into the very core of the rings and the stones. Goblin made they decided with other enchantments from magic that felt familiar but they could not place.

If Hermione was engaged then it was serious - bonds like that where in the wizarding world. She knew they wanted to know - the who and when. When they found out those they'd ask why? And cast more spells.

No one noticed the faint outline and portrait that was emerging on the Black family tapestry. But if you knew to look then you would see a name forming under another and a small outline with a portrait.

She imagined if there was one in his house, it would be doing the same. Ancient magic lay in the tapestry, it knew when someone joined the family. Unless the person you had been joined to had been blasted off.

His family (though not him) were all about pureblood supremacy. Well when she joined it they would no longer have descendants of pure blood.

The front door opened. Harry glanced towards the hall. No footsteps sounded.

The trio were excepting Kingsley and Remus back soon. The Weasley's would be flooing over for tea soon as well.

"Who goes there?" called Harry.

"Kingsley,"

"And Remus."

Knowing they where who they said they were because the house wouldn't let them in otherwise, the trio went to greet them but saw two unwanted visitors. Hermione's heart jumped.

"Kingsley, Remus respectfully are you mad to have brought them here?" asked Harry.

"They are under our protection order of Dumbledore," said Remus.

"There not staying here," said Harry.

"Harry I know we have our differences but if Dumbledore said," said Hermione.

"This is my house Hermione," said Harry.

"At the moment it is the Order's" said Hermione, "It's the safest place for any of us"

"Harry, Ron, Hermione... You don't have to like it, you have to live with it. You all need to be civil." Said Remus. "Now Hermione, could you show them to the spare room?"

Ron opened his mouth to protest but Hermione cut him off.

"Ron I can take care of myself" she stated flatly, before heading up the stairs - the new duo following.

Away fro watching eyes and in the dark of the landing, one of the boys grabbed her. She'd been expecting it and happily allowed herself to fall into his arms. Then he kissed her deeply.
