�Yes?� he said, looking clueless.

She chuckled softly, �nothing,� and left the room.

When Harry heard the water running, he got up from the couch and headed to the nursery. The image in his head of Voldemort hunting his parents down and killing them mercilessly. �And it�s all because of me,� he thought, glumly. He left the nursery and went into what he assumed had been his parents� bedroom. Seeing his trunk there, he suddenly remembered the mirror. He dug through his things and found the box he had placed it in after he�d repaired it as best he could with spell-o-tape. He stood and took it�s brother out of his pocket, suddenly feeling sad. The sense of loss was almost overwhelming.

He sat on the edge of the bed, staring off into space. He thought over the death of his entire family, the actual members and the ones who had practically adopted him as their own. He remembered the first time he met Lupin and then how he had wanted to kill Sirius. He lay back on the bed, fighting his own emotions. He closed his eyes scrunching them closed to stop himself from crying.

�Harry?� he heard Ginny�s voice but she seemed so far away, �Harry? Are you awake?� she was sitting beside him on the bed, a concerned look on her face.

�Oh, I, I must�ve dozed off, sorry.� he stammered as he sat up, looking at her. He blushed slightly and averted his eyes when he noticed she was only wearing a towel.

�Are you sure you�re all right? Your looking flushed!�

�Yes, I am fine. As a matter of fact, I have something for you,� he turned to her, carefully looking only at her face. He handed her the unbroken mirror, �Sirius gave this to me before he died,� he gestured to the one still in his hand, �they are two-way. He said that he and my father would use them to talk to each other when they were in separate detentions. I always thought that if I had used this that day instead of being so bull-headed, he might be alive today.� he looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath then looked back at her and urgent expression on his face. �I don�t want that to happen with us. So I�m giving you half and if you are ever in trouble I want you to use this. Keep it on you, but don�t tell anyone in case they use it against me as well.�

�I promise to keep it secret and to carry it always,� she took his free hand in hers and kissed him softly on the temple.

Harry felt his pulse quicken, small droplets of water fell from her hair onto his shoulder as he turned and kissed her. Now totally blind to anything in the world but her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they sprawled backwards on the bed.

Harry slowly removed her towel and drank in the sight of her. �You are so tantalizing, it�s irresistible,� he mumbled as she began tugging his shirt off.

�Thank you,� she said, blushing, �you�re quite overwhelming yourself.� She ran her hand down his chest as he unfastened his trousers.

He suddenly stopped, leaning back from her, �wait, you don�t have your wand! What about the uhh...the...er,� he froze trying to think of the right word for the spell she had used the night before to protect from any �accidents� �spell!� was all he managed to croak out.

She smiled and reached around to his back pocket, pulling his own wand �you are a wizard yourself, you know. It�s a very simple spell, just like a shield charm only smaller.� she giggled softly as he reddened.

He smiled himself and now that the spell was out of the way, he returned to worshiping her body. Kissing her every place she would permit until she finally said she couldn�t take anymore and needed him.

They made love then�several times, in fact�before they were both finally spent. After that they fell asleep in each other�s arms�possibly for the last time.
