While trying to put on the dragon hide trousers she suddenly got an image of Hagrid kissing Madam Maxime, it was a hurting Hermione who asked, "Harry, what are you doing?"
A shirtless Harry embarrassingly replied, "well you said I could look which caused a…problem! With no cold shower available I tried to think of something to make the problem go away. I'm sorry Hermione."
She pounced on him and kissed him senseless while thinking, 'he finds me attractive!'
As the kiss finished, Harry held Hermione's face in his hands, "Hermione you are the most gorgeous sight I have ever seen! You took my breath away and I can't believe your mine, though I think we better hurry up and change before your mother breaks down the door for our talk."
With shyness well and truly banished, dressing finished quickly and as they walked back to the other room wearing the skin tight armour. With their cloaks billowing in a way that would make Snape jealous everyone could see them for what they really were, the two most powerful warriors for the light in the magical world.
Everyone that is except for an auror called Dawlish.
Madam Bones and four aurors, along with Ragnok and a guard of ten goblins, Dobby, Winky and Hermione's parents were waiting for the young warriors but as they walked over one of the aurors started shouting.
"The ministry's in total disarray, no-one knows what's happening and we're here pandering to attention seeking Potter and his mudblood girlfriend! You can't be..."
He didn't get to say anymore as an unseen force threw him against the wall and held him there, a meter off the ground.
The other three aurors watched their stricken colleague slam into the wall and started to reach for their wands to assist, but the sight of eleven very angry, heavily armed goblins changed their minds.
Harry strode towards him, "you will apologise to my wife if you value your life!"
Amelia Bones had never seen such power and he didn't even have a wand in his hand.
"Excuse me Mr Potter."
"I am Lord Gryffindor Madam Bones. My wife and I are going to win this war and for what? For my wife to be insulted by a ministry employee, an auror no less! If this is the attitude we have to endure, could someone please explain why we should save you?"
"I apologise Lord Gryffindor, but we're all a bit on edge today with the unexplained happenings at the ministry and to some of the wizarding worlds post prominent citizens," said Amelia Bones
"Today my wife and I mortally wounded Lord Voldemort, which had a considerable impact on his marked death eaters and now we are leaving here to finish the job. You and the other aurors may accompany us but he stays till I've got time to deal with the matter."
Bones was in total shock at the implications of what this young man had just said; Voldemort back, the minister for magic a death eater, we're going up against the dark lord.
She looked to Ragnok for confirmation.
"Everything the Lord Gryffindor has said is the truth. The entire goblin nation is behind the Lord and Lady Gryffindor and I take it as a matter of honour that the Lady was insulted in Gringotts so, begging the Lords pardon, but we have first claim on him."
Ragnok winked at Harry while the auror called Dawlish wet himself.
"Thank you Ragnok, we've bigger fish to fry" said a now calm Harry, as two more goblin guards entered and tried, without success, to remove the now terrified auror from the wall.
"Excuse me Lord Gryffindor, could you release the prisoner?" Harry just glanced over and Dawlish hit the floor before being led away.
"Madam Bones the portkey leaves in one minute, it's your choice whether you wish to witness the demise of Voldemort." said Ragnok, producing a long spear for everyone to hold on to.
Harry and Hermione had experienced this form of travel so were coaching her parents, now dressed with the same Potter/Gryffindor cloaks over their muggle clothes.
Harry wondered if there had ever been a stranger group to take a portkey: eleven goblins, two elves, a pair of muggles and just before activation the aurors joined making it three witches and three wizards.
