"So you really left Malfoy in the trash?" Ginny laughed as she lay on the couch in the common room. The twins were regailing Harry and Ginny the fate of Malfoy after there last encounter. It had been a week since Malfoy had taken Hermione and forced her to be his pet. Ron had, as a prank, given her a cats tail and ears, much to her distress and the common rooms amusement. The twins had not been seen since, fearing any repercussions the Teachers might have had in mind. Once sure that Malfoy had been just as quite about his defeat (or perhaps his perverted activities) they'd emerged, much to the relief of Harry and Ginny. They'd been concerned that perhaps Malfoy had gotten too them after they'd left.
"Yep, Filch probably found him the next morning when he went to clean up." Fred laughed. The four of them sat and laughed as the twins recounted the story.
"I'd wondered why Hermione hadn't talked about it. That pervert had probably messed way too much with her head." She pondered aloud.
"Unlikely, Ron and her stayed behind to kiss and make up." George said knowingly. "And from the looks she was giving him, I'd be surprised if they didn't spend the night there."
The words caught Harry's attention. "Did you say 'spend the night'? What time did you leave them?" He quizzed.
"About 9pm" Harry smiled knowingly as he glanced to Ginny.
"Ron and Hermione got back in about 4 in the morning." Ginny said practically wetting herself. All four of them fell about laughing; the thought of their friends finally doing what everybody knew they had wanted. It was too much for them and the group carried on speculating and giggling, ultimately achieving a large pile of unfinished homework and some really disturbing mental images.
Later that evening, Hermione was sitting on her bed reading, her legs kicking absently behind her. The door opened and in walked Ginny, still smiling from the gossip earlier. She stopped when she saw Hermione, now not seeing the bookworm friend she'd always known, but instead the thought of her and her brother spending an evening alone.
"Something amuse you?" Hermione asked looking up to see the Grinning face of her friend staring at her.
"Oh, I 'dunno" Ginny responded as she paraded smugly around the dorm to reach her bed. "Just some interesting things I've been hearing about a certain Gryffindor pair." She smirked knowingly at her friend who looked visibly nervous.
"What are you talking about?" Hermione replied cautiously. She hoped Ginny wasn't referring to what she suspected.
Ginny spun round on her bed and lay scrupulously looking at the bushy hair girl with a knowing look. "How was he?" She whispered. Hermione was visibly stunned. How could Ginny ask that. How did she know.
"I don't know what your talking about." She quickly deflected, picking up the book and pretending to go back to it. "Ron and I are just friends."
"Who said I was talking about Ron?" Ginny grinned. She had her now. "Come on Hermione, how was it. Your first time. Did he…you know…"
Hermione stared. She'd put her foot in it now. She stared hard at the Red Head with evil eyes, daring her to push the subject but something snapped in her. "It was AMAZING!" She finally blurted. "Ron was so gentle, and I've never felt so amazing!" A smile glowed from ear to ear as she spilled all the detail of the evening. Everything that the two had done, everything he'd said, everything she'd wished she said. Ginny grinned as Hermione spilled all the detail. She'd honestly never seen Hermione so excited about anything.
"…and here's the thing, I still had the tail and ear." Hermione finally finished. The two girls giggled long and hard, thinking about the spell. "Ron honestly thought it made me more sexy."
"So are you going to have them the next time?" Ginny continued. Hermione stopped dead as she looked over at her best friend.
"Next time?" she repeated. Clearly she'd not even considered the possibility. The conversation went instantly quiet and Ginny stared waiting for an answer.
"Oh come on Hermione, you can't just do it once. You said it yourself how amazing it was." She spluttered, not believing the Hesitance Hermione was showing. "You have to meet again. It's one of the unwritten rules." All the while Hermione pondered.
"I need to go to bed now." She said quietly, getting up from the bed and heading over to the wardrobe.
"Hey Hermione, You've still got the tail" Instantly Hermione spun round and grabbed her ass, only to be greeted by Ginny, rolling around on the bed in a fit of Hysterics.
"oh you think that's funny do you?" She smiled evilly. Pointing her wand at Ginny. The laughter stopped instantly and Ginny stared at her friend in disbelief. 'This was going to be a long night' she thought.
