Chapter 23 - Hermione's POV

I checked my arms and thighs one last time. My scars, except the 'mudblood' scar, had finally healed and I planned to wear a dress. It was a miracle Draco hadn't noticed my arms last night and I was thankful he had been otherwise preoccupied.

I went to my closet and picked up the dress I had gotten a few weeks ago and looked at it. I couldn't wait to see his face.

I began the long process of getting ready. I washed, shaved and moisturized every part of my body. I dried my hair and tamed it into loose curls that flowed to my waist, since I had let them grow out. For my make up I went a little more bold than normal and paired it with red lip.

I pulled a bag from my bathroom and emptied out the contents on to the bed. I gulped and examined my purchase. It was an outfit I had never dreamed of ever owning, but I wanted tonight to be special. The outfit was made up of black stockings that stopped mid thigh and were held up by these tiny clips. The clips were attached to the body suit that accentuated all the right curves and was made up of a delicate lace material.

I put on the silver heels I would be wearing with my dress and took out my new cell phone. I snapped a couple pictures and even an extremely seductive video and put it away. I checked the time and saw I only had a few more minutes before our friends would be here. I put my dress over the outfit and marveled at how amazing it felt and looked.

The dress was a black number that stopped a good few inches above my knee. The sleeves stopped at my elbow, showing the rest of my arm. It had a V-neck neckline that went perfect with the outfit I had on underneath. It was tight and the flowed gracefully at the waist. I looked in the mirror to see if I needed anything else and decided to take my gold lion off. I looked in the drawer if the bedside table and put on the silver snake Draco had gifted me so I could match with him whenever I wanted. It went perfect with everything and the emerald eyes shined brighter against my skin.

I took a calming breath before walking out of the room to see him.

When he saw me, his mouth dropped open and his eyes got wide. He looked me up and down, taking it all in.

He walked over to me, "Hermione you look… wow. Just wow. You look so beautiful."

He pulled me close and I was glad I had on heels. It made it easier to kiss him considering he was 6'2 and I was only 5'3. He kissed me carefully so he wouldn't mess up my makeup. His hands wandered around my body before settling on the curve of my lower back, almost on my backside.

We heard throat clearing and looked to see Theo looking uncomfortable, and Blaise trying to contain his laughter, with Pansy and Bella not far behind.

"Yes, yes. She's beautiful. Can you let her go now so we can sit down and eat?" Blaise teased.

I could feel his erection disappear almost as fast as it had appeared. Draco sighed and let me go begrudgingly keeping one hand in his.

"Okay, settle down children" I told them with a laugh.

We sat down to dinner and spent most of the night talking, drinking and laughing.

As I was walking them all to the door l, while Draco cleaned up, Theo pulled me aside.

"Hermione there's something you should know" he told me.

I looked at him while waiting for him to continue, "Listen, I know it sounds crazy, but I have certain intuitions when it comes to relationships. I can tell when people really care about each other and when it's true love. The more time I spend with people who are in love, the sicker I feel. Hermione, you and Draco make me want to die with how sick you make me. Even when it's just one of you, I can feel the love you have for each other and I think you guys aren't just true love. I think you're soulmates."

I looked at him in shock, "I know it's a lot to take in. But let me ask you this; when you kiss or touch do you feel electricity? Or do you feel like you're being burned alive but it doesn't hurt?"

I nodded, "Yes, but it's always been like that. Since before we got together or even kissed. Although… before he had full access to his magic, I didn't feel the burning. Only the electricity. It's the worst when his actual skin touches mine."

Theo looked at me scared, "Wait… you feel both? At the same time? Do you know what this means?"

I looked at him blankly, "Hermione, this means that you're not just soulmates. You're twin flames. Your beings are so connected, that you basically share a soul. He carries one half and you carry the other. This means that if you guys let your magic merge together, you would always feel each other. So if one of you was in danger, the other would know. You can't tell him about this though. Only one of you is allowed to know until your magic has merged. If you tell him before, he could die."

I nodded, understanding what he was saying, "I won't tell him, but how do we merge our magic?" I asked.

He shrugged, "It's different for everyone. You have to figure it out yourself because I don't know. Listen, I have to go. All I can tell you is that when your magic merges, you'll know it. I'll see you tomorrow" he finished before running off.

I walked back into the dorm and saw Draco had finished cleaning up. I noticed he had rolled up the sleeves to his shirt and I could see the faint outline of his dark mark, still left over but almost completely gone.

He pulled me towards him, and kissed me.
