Author’s Note: Harry Potter & The Soulmate Bond

Reading Time: 1 MinutesI’m posting episode 16 of the series at midnight tonight. I’ve attached the following warning to it: This chapter contains group nudity, public sexual intercourse, ritual sex magic, a near ritual sacrifice, graphic imagery, emotional trauma, and the deaths of multiple canon but not major characters (no one you love will die–probably–I mean, unless you’re fond of unrepentant Death Eaters). The events in this episode are not explicit in nature but I do hope that you’ll take my warnings very seriously. The public sex is consensual but the situation the characters face is not. They’re all forced to participate in the ritual itself. In that way, it might take on a dub-con light but it didn’t feel that way when I wrote it. So, keep that in mind.   I’d like to take this opportunity to also thank my betas — Ladyholder and Chris King. They’ve been working their asses off on this project! Additionally, FanArts Series has been making me some awesome art work:

See Series page for further author notes, warnings, and ratings. Despite the fact that more than half the Hogwarts students were missing from the Quidditch pitch, they were packed to capacity. Several additional sets of stands had to be provided. Ten minutes to two, Viktor Krum and his father arrived with a small entourage that Harry had been warned in advance included the Bulgarian Minister for Magic. He felt more than saw the dueling wards being lifted. Harry turned and looked at the area that had been left open for Hermione and Minerva McGonagall. As if it were planned, Hermione and Neville appeared with a pop of house elf apparition. Star released both of their hands and Neville took a seat on the bench leaving space between himself and Minerva McGonagall for Hermione to sit when she was ready. A low murmur ran through the crowd as Hermione walked toward him. He couldn’t blame them—she looked amazing. Most of the people in the crowd had to recognize the dueling robes of the Lady Potter—his own mother was displayed in a…

Hermione’s Discretion

Reading Time: 42 MinutesTitle: Hermione’s Discretion Author: Keira Marcos Beta: Ladyholder & Chris King Series: Harry Potter & the Soulmate Bond Episode: 14 Fandom: Harry Potter Relationship: Harry/Hermione Word Count: 10,407 Warnings: Off-screen child abuse, discussion of child abuse and violence against a child Author’s Note: You know I hate Ron and Ginny Weasley, right? See Series page for further author notes, warnings, and ratings. Hermione rather hated Quidditch. It was well known, in fact, that she had absolutely nothing good to say about it in the past. But, come to find out Harry was quite fit in his Quidditch robes. The stands were full to overflowing and she was tucked in between her mother and his Dad. No one had been at all surprised when Lord Black had shown up for the game. It was Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor so they were expecting a long game. Traditionally, the average game between the two houses lasted three hours. Harry was rather lovely on a broom—strong, talented, and so on task that it was breathtaking. He was also every bit the nightmare she’d already claimed he was. Cho Chang, the Seeker for Ravenclaw, had no hope of keeping up with him but she was certainly trying. She was also doing a stupid amount of pathetic flirting. It would have been infuriating if it hadn’t been so pitiable. Lee Jordan was being himself, only more since he had a bigger audience and was no longer a student at the school. He’d apparently wormed his…

See Series page for further author notes, warnings, and ratings. Harry reviewed the letter he’d received from Armand Dearing. The older wizard had refused to take a communication mirror and as a result, Harry had to send the man letters, many letters. Armand was the public face of their conclave as he most often led them in their magic, especially in the UK. That would slowly change now that Harry was making his home in Godric’s Hollow. He glanced over at Hermione who was curled up in a chair in the corner of his office reading. As Mondays went, the day had been decent and uneventful. He set the letter aside and considered the needs of his conclave. They had practiced magic in the bank out of necessity in the past. Moving between the Paris and London branches had been easy for them. Harry also had a very good relationship with the Chieftain. The dverger had been instrumental in the destruction of Tom Riddle. They’d also really enjoyed eating the basilisk Harry had killed when he was twelve. In…

What do you want?” “We’ve been friends since first year. I can’t believe you’re just going to throw away our friendship for that stuck up bastard.” Hermione sighed and shut the book. “I suppose you approached me in the library because you know I won’t make a scene in here.” She shoved her book into her bag and stood. The Tear warmed against her skin and she touched the sparkling diamond with trembling fingers and took a deep calming breath. “I didn’t end my friendship with you because of Harry. I ended it because you’re a horrible bully and I don’t deserve to be treated the way you treated me.” It wasn’t surprising at all that he followed her out of the library. “Don’t you think you owe me some consideration?” Ron demanded half way to the tower. “I was your friend when no one else…

Dear SLASH Reading Minions

Reading Time: 1 MinutesI realize my recent foray into heterosexual romance has you all freaked out and worried that I’ve lost my way. I assure you, I have not. I still have my map of Cock Land (which is like Candy Land only better because it’s MANCANDY). Don’t freak out and stop asking me when I’m going to write more slash. My original OTP in Harry Potter was Harry/Hermione. I’m feeling all nostalgic right now and it’s amusing. I write what interests me or I don’t write at all. I’m not going to force myself to write something that isn’t interesting to me at the moment. That’s the road to burn out. The last time I burned out on writing–I didn’t write for three years. I’m not going there again so, honestly, just be cool. Stop asking about it. I’m not mad. Really. So don’t think I am. If I was… there would be a lot more curse words in this post. I get the fact that you like some things more than others. I also get the fact that some of you don’t like to read Het sex. I get it. I don’t understand it. I like all the fucking. Well, I like all the healthy, consensual fucking that doesn’t involve farm animals or inappropriate body fluids. Just chill out.

See Series page for further author notes, warnings, and ratings.   Harry settled into a table in the common room and watched Hermione gently rosin the bow of the violin he’d given her. He sharpened his quill and pulled a piece of fresh parchment from his bag as she started to play. The common room which had been almost empty when they arrived slowly filled with upper years who hadn’t yet gone to sleep. Hermione, for her part, ignored the audience. Harry figured that ability came from performing so often in front of so many as a child. She played one song after another and he wrote his essay. By the time he was finished, she was utterly and completely lost in her music. He put his things away, quietly requested tea from Dobby and sat back to watch her play. He noticed that most of the others were just watching at that point as well and that her mother was lingering in the portrait hole with Dumbledore. He waved at the tea he had and both nodded. Harry…

See Series page for further author notes, warnings, and ratings. The little café Hermione had picked for lunch in Hogsmeade catered more to the residents of the town than the Hogwarts crowd. She’d figured, rightly, that Harry could use some space away from their fellow students. Classes the day before had been a little stressful and they’d both endured more attention than either garnered on a normal day. Fortunately, Ron and Ginny both had given them a lot of space. He relaxed by degrees as they browsed the menu, ordered Muggle sodas, and eventually salads. “You birthday is Thursday,” Harry said. “I considered asking your mum if I could take out—to Muggle London for the evening but then I was worried that she’d want to spend this birthday with you. It’ll be your first since you were adopted. So I was thinking we could have lunch in London on the twenty-first. Next Saturday. We’d probably get stuck with an auror escort of some kind.” “That sounds… really nice. Do you think my mum will agree?” “She trusts both of…

He glanced around the bathroom, found that everyone was basically dressed, and probably wouldn’t freak out if he called his female Head Elf. “Star.” Star popped into place on the counter beside him, swinging her feet. “Yes, Master Harry?” “Busy morning?” “Just being the boss of my minions,” Star said cheerfully. She grabbed his kit and rummaged around his stuff—organizing it to suit herself before pulling out a simple black hair band for his hair, which he used without comment. “I thought you were all my minions,” Harry said. “It’s charming that you be thinking so,” Star said earnestly. “What did Master Harry be needing?” “An honest to God cup of coffee,” Harry replied immediately. “But that’s not why I called you.” He paused when Star snagged Neville’s kit from her left and started to organize it. He glanced at his godbrother and found the Longbottom Scion looking at Star with a bemused smile. “Right. Dinner in my quarters for two is actually…

It wasn’t until the Daily Prophet started to arrive the next morning that Harry remembered that he hadn’t told Hermione about the Death Eater in the Ministry or his having taken said Death Eater down. He scowled into his teacup and wondered just how bad the headline would be. Maybe… maybe his Dad was able to prevent anyone from talking about it. Beside him, Hermione unrolled her copy of the Prophet and went rigid with outrage. LORD POTTER SAVES FATHER’S LIFE! DEATH EATER ALGERNON ROOKWOOD CAPTURED IN MINISTRY BY MINISTER’S SON. “Harry James Potter!” Hermione shouted. “You! You! How could you not tell me you and your Father were attacked by a Death Eater?” He opened his mouth to defend himself but a little boom from the front of the room caused everyone to turn to look at the Headmaster. The elderly wizard cast a sonorous charm. “Good morning, most of you have…

Bill shoved his brother into a chair in his private quarters. “If I hadn’t silenced you—you’d have probably spent the rest of the bloody day in the infirmary.” He ended the silencing hex he’d put on his brother the moment they’d walked in and found Harry Potter kissing Hermione McGonagall like he was half a tick from taking her to bed. “She’s a whore!” Ron shouted. “She has no business letting him touch and kiss her like that.” “I know you’ve been told that you won’t be allowed any sort of romantic relationship with Hermione. I know, because I discussed it with Dad and I discussed it with Professor McGonagall upon my arrival. She made it very clear to me, Ron, that you would never be welcome in her daughter’s life than anything more than a friend but that she doubted that even that would happen because of your insulting and degrading behavior.” “She’s acting like a slag and I’m the one being punished,” Ron hissed. “I missed Quidditch try-outs because I was in detention with…

It was quite full but then, it was 30 minutes before breakfast started. She took a seat at one of the vanity tables and drew her wand with a little frown. Ginny sent her a venomous glare and left without a word. Fay Dunbar snorted and shared a pointed look with Lavender. “What?” Hermione asked. “Harry Potter thinks you’re the next best thing to magic on this planet,” Parvati said with a smirk from a table across the room as she rubbed lotion on her legs . “No, really, he told Ginny off when she expressed shock that he was serious about courting you. He told her that you were beautiful, intelligent, kind, and elegant. Then he said having you on his arm was a boon to his magical house.” “You don’t know what that means, do you,” Fay said curiously and nodded when Hermione shook her head. “A boon to a magical house is a…

She stared at Ron as he sat down at her table, already irritated by his gall and he hadn’t even spoken. It wasn’t like she hadn’t anticipated the conversation that was about to take place. Ron was stubborn and utterly blind to their new circumstances. She knew he was under the impression that eventually things would return to the way they had been. “I need your help with my Charms essay.” “No,” Hermione said and went back to her own work. “What do you mean, no?” Ron asked. “No, I’m not going to help you,” Hermione said slowly and clearly. “I’ve shown you over and over again how to write your essays and you can’t be bothered to pay attention.

She is a protected species and bonded to him. It is illegal to separate them against their will.” “But the thing is dangerous, it almost killed Hermione yesterday,” Ron protested. “No, Mr. Weasley, that is inaccurate. In fact, Rowena was merely protecting Hermione in a moment of great emotional stress – to her own detriment, I might add. Elemental vipers have no offensive magic to speak of. While a witch or a wizard can channel a great deal of parselmagic through them, their own native magic is protective. That is why I purchased that snake for Lord Potter and gifted her to him on his birthday over the summer.” “You bought that snake?” Ron asked, aghast. “Why would you buy something so dark and dangerous?” “Because there is nothing dark or dangerous about an elemental viper unless you present yourself…

He knew he could call Emmie and get an update on Hermione’s circumstances but that felt like cheating. He knew that the elf would have come for him if there were trouble so he’d just resolved to stew with his worry. A couple high-pitched squeaks and one alarmed scream had him turning in his chair. He watched, flabbergasted, as Padfoot trotted up the aisle to the teacher’s desk and transformed into his father with rush of magic. “Good morning, I am Lord Sirius Black, the Earl of Blackmoor and I will be your substitute teacher in Transfiguration for the next two days.” Sirius took a seat on McGonagall’s desk and swung his dragonhide clad feet like a first year. “She didn’t leave me any sort of plan so… well… she’ll definitely learn her lesson when she returns.” He smirked at the laughs and sighed when a small cat Patronus suddenly appeared in front of him. “My…

Dear HET Reading Minions

Reading Time: 1 MinutesI write a lot of slash, that is to say there is a lot of gay porn on this site. I’m really very pleased to have you here reading Harry Potter and the Soulmate Bond. Really. I don’t want you to click on something all willy nilly and get surprise butt!sex of the gay variety. So, to avoid that whole thing let me just say there is a LOT OF BUTT SEX ON THIS SITE. There. Now, this is not a WARNING as I don’t believe in warning for slash. This is merely a heads up — if you invite your mom or your grandma to the site to read my Harry/Hermione story do monitor them closely to make sure they don’t go on a Surprise!butt Sex Magical Mystery Tour. AND, if you find that your grandma has already been on the Surprise!butt Sex Magical Mystery Tour (and she liked it or alternatively thinks you’re going to hell), you only have yourself to blame. Honestly, you brought that shit on yourself. Much Love, Keira PS: [youtube=”http://youtu.be/YwLMM_QBkMc”]

Dobby said you were exhausted and you went to sleep before he even got you under the covers.” “She’s beautiful,” Harry murmured. “So bright and lovely, just like I remember. She kept looking at me and blushing and calling me Lord Potter and she’s lovely, Dad.” Sirius’ face relaxed and smiled. “Well, then, look at you all infatuated with your witch.” “Not just any witch and not mine yet,” Harry said. “As to my exhaustion, some vicious bitch in Slytherin convinced all the first years they’d have to fight a dementor to be sorted. I thought they’d be okay after being sorted but… it was bad. Aunt Min said they were all in various states of hysteria after their curfew.

He focused entirely on Albus Dumbledore as he spoke. “Thanks to you all, I spent six months in Azkaban without even being questioned. It has been a year since I’ve seen my own child. I’ve proven with magic and blood that I am Harry Potter’s third legal parent. The will of James and Lily Potter specifically named me as his guardian should they both perish. This body is infringing on my rights as a parent and as the Regent of the House of Potter.” “Lord Black, we understand your position thoroughly. You’ve stated it before this court on five different occasions. Our decision stands, Harry Potter will remain hidden in the Muggle world. It is for his own safety,” Dumbledore said gravely. “His situation isn’t even being monitored by the Children’s Protective Services—he’s being denied his basic rights as a magical child and as the future head of the House of Potter. He’s nearly three years old, Albus, and in most households,…

This was causing problems with some people’s bars so I’ve removed it. Hopefully it will clear up some of the issues with loading and using the chatroom. I didn’t find a viable instant messaging system that would work well with the Skysa Bar (our chat bar at the bottom) so I installed a Private messaging system instead.

Go with it. It won’t hurt you. Summary: Jim faces his past and someone he thought he’d already lost. * * * * Most of the school knew they were essentially married. There had been a congrats on your weird alien nuptials party over the summer that they had attended, mostly out of peer pressure and political obligations. Spock trusted that Jim was right about how the friendly relationships they created in the present would impact them in the future. The new school year had proven to be slightly more stressful as they no longer shared the bulk of their classes. Jim had rearranged most of his academic plans so they could finish at the same time and start their college educations together. That meant he hadn’t had room for several of the electives that they’d both taken the year before out of interest rather than need. They still shared an engineering class and a class on intergalactic politics that Spock’s father had been insistent that they take. The material was dry and not particularly interesting but they both took the class seriously, especially when they’d realized Sarek would be discussing their various assignments with them on a near weekly basis.
