CHAPTER 2

They talked for a few more minutes until they heard yelling coming from down stairs. Suddenly the door burst open and they heard Ron talking loudly "Really Hermione I can't go with you right now. My family needs me."

Hermione looked mad "You promised me Ron! You promised me you would help me find my parents and bring them back."

Ron turned on her "Yes, I did but you are being an impatient and selfish bitch about this. I can't leave right now because of my family."

Hermione stepped back in shock to hear Ron call her that. What surprised her even more is when Harry jumped out from his bed and slammed Ron against the wall "You take it back Ron. You take it back right now or I swear to god I will beat the shite out of you."

Ron growled and grabbed Harry's hands "I will not take it back. She is being unreasonable and wants to go to Australia this Friday to find her Mum and Dad. I can't leave my family right now."

Harry reacted to his words "Fine then. When can you go with her?"

Ron looked shocked to be asked this question "I don't know maybe in a few months, when it feels right."

Harry face turned red "Ron you git! Hermione has done more for both of us than anybody has a right to expect from another. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this or to be called names. You will apologize to her."

Ron's face turned red as he was getting madder "I will not! She is being her normal, bossy, know-it -all self and is not respecting my needs."

Hermione stepped forward "Ronald I wanted to leave last week but I waited until you had time with your family. I waited out of respect for your needs." Hermione had tears coming from her eyes.

Ron smirked at her "Bullshit because if you really cared about my needs then you would wait to go find your parents."

Hermione sat down heavily on a bed "It's always going to be this way with you, isn't it?" Hermione looked up at him "Your life, your drama, your quidditch is always going to be more important than me or anyone else in your life." Hermione wiped her eyes "That is why you have been pressuring me to sleep with you because you don't really care about me, just what you want or need."

Ron just looked at her and showed no concern. Hermione stared at him and then stated "I am not a possession Ron. I don't need this and we are officially through. I don't need you to come with me to find my parents."

Harry dropped Ron and went over to Hermione and held out his hand "Hermione you are not going alone I promise you that. If you want to leave today I will be ready in thirty minutes." Harry told her.

Ron got a little bit angry "You both like going off together alone. Just like you two to do that to me. Since Harry doesn't have any family I guess it works out well for all concerned." Harry's face revealed a grimace at Ron's words.

What surprised them all is when Harry's bed curtain flew open and a fully nude Ginny stomped over to Ron. "Have you totally lost it? Your girlfriend just asked for your help and you turn her down and called her a bitch in the process. Your other best friend is trying to tell you that you are acting like a Prat so you insult him too."

Ginny slapped his face "Your own sister is telling you that you are acting like a Prat, maybe Ronald, you should look around and quit acting like a Prat."

Ron looked even madder "I don't think a little slut like your self has any right to tell me how to act."

Harry didn't hesitate and jumped up and decked Ron. Ron fell down and hit the floor hard. "Ginny is anything but a slut Ron and I won't have you talk about her or Hermione badly. You say another word except to apologize and I will put you in the hospital."

Ron looked up from the floor "When are you and Ginny getting married?"

Ginny spoke up "We are not getting married, in fact we are not boyfriend or girlfriend anymore."

Ron rose up "So you broke up with Ginny after having sex with her?" Ron had gotten the rest of the way up and was standing in front of Harry trying to look very menacing.

He didn't stand there very long as Ginny hit him square in the nose "You really are stupid aren't you? Harry didn't break up with me I broke up with him. I don't love him as Harry and it was my decision not his."

Ron looked at her holding his nose "You slept with him after you did this?"

Ginny laughed at him "Yes and you are that stupid." Ginny smirked "We didn't sleep, we fucked our brains out and it was wonderful and I will always cherish that memory." Hermione snorted in the back ground trying to hold in a laugh as Ginny continued "As of right now who I fuck or don't fuck is none of your business."

Ron's eyes widened as he heard all of this "You are a scarlet woman and no decent man will have you."

Harry scoffed at his words "Ron, what planet do you live on because I guarantee that any place I am that Ginny will always be welcome, even if she brings another man. She is a lady in all respects to me."

Ron spat back "Just like a half blood orphan to say something like that."

Hermione jumped up and then punched Ron in the gut "Don't you dare talk about Harry that way. He has more decency in his little finger than most everybody else in this world. That is twice you have disparaged his back ground and lack of a family. I will not stand for that!" Ron had the wind knocked out of him and fell down.

Hermione crossed her arms "Ron, the only difference between you and Draco Malfoy is nothing other than you are in different houses. At Least Draco I can respect for putting forth effort to work for what he wants otherwise both of your views of the world are skewed. I will have nothing further to do with you."

Hermione turned to Harry and looked at him and then looked at his unclothed body. She gave him a little smirk and then looked into his eyes "Nice equipment Potter but you will have to promise to wear some clothes if you come to Australia with me."

Harry looked at her and then smiled "I don't know that is a lot to ask for from any guy." Ginny and Hermione began to giggle. Harry turned and went to his trunk "I suppose we all have to make sacrifices for the greater good."

Ginny nudge Hermione "Are you sure you want him to cover that nice arse?"

Hermione looked shocked by the question but answered without thinking "No, but I think it would cause too many problems otherwise." Hermione held her chin "I only have enough money to cover a single hotel room and you are sure you have no claim to him?"

Ginny looked shocked and then smiled before answering "None what so ever bookworm. Do I detect that someone is about to take the pencil out of their ass."

Ron scoffed at their conversation and then stomped out of the dorm. Hermione looked over at Ginny "You are not going to change your mind about Harry later?"

Ginny looked at him and then back "No, he needs someone else. He needs someone he trusts and that can handle all his moods. I was in love with the boy that lived and not Harry." Ginny turned to look at her and then smiled "He needs someone like you."

Harry turned and looked at them "You know I am standing right here and I have heard every word you have said."

Ginny quipped back "Yes, we know and you can go back to standing there looking handsome. You do make good eye candy after all."

Hermione and Ginny laughed at his expression before Hermione asked "So did you break him in right?"

Ginny huffed "It was only one session and it was more about my fantasy, than coaching him and he played me like a violin and it was a masterful performance I must say."

Hermione looked at her "Your favorite one?" Ginny nodded with a smirk and winked at her as she knew they both shared a similar fantasy. Hermione's involved a captain pirate. Hermione let out a sigh.

Harry had heard and was getting a little annoyed and walked over very close to Hermione "Have you two divided the spoils of war yet?"

Hermione smiled "Maybe but we will let you know when it needs to concern you." She said gruffly.

Harry frowned at her "Really?"

Ginny leaned over to him "Did Hermione ever tell you a story about a vigorous Captain Pirate and his female captive, a very young and nubile, quite virgin captive."

Harry arched his eyebrows "No, I don't think she did." Harry turned to Hermione to look into her soft brown eyes. He kept looking as he walked forward into her space and forced her to walk backwards until the walled stopped her. When it did he quickly moved to place his arms on both sides of her. She jumped as he trapped her against the wall.

Harry kept looking into her eyes and watched many emotions play upon them "Well, my fair maiden it seems to me I did not know my best friend as well as I thought. What do you have to say for yourself?" Harry was mere inches from her lips and he could feel her breathing quicken.

Hermione looked into his beautiful green eyes and suddenly his closeness felt very compelling to her. "I…I…we never brought this subject up."

Harry watched her and then stated softly with a whisper "I want to always be your friend first and anything else second. If I lost you out of my life for good then I wouldn't want to be here anymore."

Hermione looked concerned and then her look softened "I promise I will always be your friend first."

Harry leaned forward and whispered in her ear "If you want me to kiss you and take any and all liberties with you then you have to say yes, my Captain! For my next question" Harry leaned back as "Do you wish to be my girlfriend?"

Hermione gasped and then gave a small smirk as she grabbed his shirt "I don't know are you asking as the boy who lived or as my Harry."

Harry smiled "Harry, just as your Harry."

Hermione smiled and then gave him a smoldering kiss before whispering in his ear "Yes, my captain."

Harry and Hermione kissed deeply before coming up for air a few minutes later. Harry placed his head on her forehead "Wow, I never knew it could be like that."

Hermione brushed his lips with hers "Me neither, it was brilliant." Hermione sighed "Can we go pack to leave tomorrow morning?" Hermione looked into his eyes "Then I want to come in here and sleep in your bed with you." Hermione seemed unsure for a second "Can we not go all the way tonight?"

Harry smiled "We will wait until you are ready but why the hurry?"

Hermione smiled "First I am going to sleep in the nude so, when I get out of your bed in the morning and Ron sees me it will drive him crazy. Second, we could do other things that might be just as much fun."

Harry quickly stated "You had me at 'Nude'" Hermione laughed.

Hermione kissed his cheek see you in an hour. She left the room and headed for hers.
