Chapter 9

Shocked, Ron's mouth opened and closed as he tried to think of something to say to her. "Err, um Luna. W…what are you doing?" Ron said, staring at her as Ginny shifted beside him, rolling onto her side in her sleep.

Careful not to wake her, Ron sat up, facing Luna who now stood naked in his room, looking shyly down at the floor. "It was Ginny and Fleur's idea. You see, I've liked you for a while and I know about your relationship with Fleur and Ginny, and we all talked it over the last few days, and we sort of decided to share you." Luna said, smiling and walking closer to the bed.

"S…share me? Are you serious?" Ron asked, shocked beyond words.

"Of course. Don't you want me? Am I not good looking enough?" Luna asked, suddenly unsure of herself, her hands fumbling at her sides.

"Of course, you are. Err that is you're incredibly beautiful Luna. It's just that I wasn't expecting… I mean, I never imagined this would happen." Ron said, quietly, his eyes on Luna's naked body, his cock hard and tenting the bedcovers.

"So, you've never thought about me before…in that way?" Luna asked, stopping at the side of the bed inches away from Ron. He need only reach out to touch her.

Swallowing again, Ron reached out, his hand coming to rest on her hip, the feel of her soft skin bringing him out of his trance. Grinning, he kicked off the bed covers, sitting up and gently pulled Luna into his arms.

Ron woke up the next morning to the sound of quiet voices whispering beside him. Opening his eyes and sitting up, Ron saw Ginny, Fleur, and Luna talking to each other. Luna was sitting on top of the bedspread wearing her nightgown from last night. Sitting across from her, Ginny sat wearing one of his old shirts. Meanwhile, Fleur sat in an armchair which had been pulled to the foot of the bed.

Noticing he was awake, they turned to look at him, Ginny smirking, Fleur looking away with a blush, and Luna smiling her usual serene smile.

"Morning Ron." They chorused.

Ron shook his head and groaned, reaching for his wand and casting a quick tempus charm. "Morning." He mumbled as he climbed out of bed.

"Sleep well?" Ginny asked, grinning.

Sparing her a glance, Ron sighed. "You could have warned me, you know." He grumbled.

"Ah, but where's the fun in that?" Ginny said smirking.

Picking up a pillow, Ron tossed it at her head. Ginny merely caught the pillow and laughed as he walked over to his wardrobe to dress for the day. Selecting his outfit for the day, a black long sleeve t-shirt with the Gryffindor lion crest sewn on the right breast, a pair of blue jeans and a pair of black, striped boxers, Ron returned to the bed and began to dress, his gaze occasionally drifting to the girls who sat, watching him with grins on their faces.

"You know you could give me a bit of privacy, right?" Ron said, pulling his shirt over his head.

"Yeah, we know," Ginny replied as they continued to sit there, making no move to leave or look away.

Dawning his shirt, Ron failed to notice the mischievous look on their faces as they pounced on him, pinning him down against the bed, completely naked from the waist down, their soft hands exploring his body, encircling and stroking his hard cock. Ron surprised at first, quickly lay back, enjoying the feeling of their hands on him, when a wet heat encircled his cock, making him moan loudly in pleasure. The shirt tugged off of him, Ron glanced down to see Fleur's mouth bobbing up and down on his cock as Luna lay beside her on the bed, a hand between her legs, fingers pumping in and out of her glistening pink core.

Laying against his chest, Ginny kissed him, her fingers coursing through his copper hair. Pulling back, she whispered softly, "Fleur wants to invite her family to spend a week with us before the school term starts. You don't mind, do you?"

His mind a cloud of lust and hazy with the pleasure of Fleur's mouth on his cock, Ron could only nod and mumble yes, his hands gripping Fleur's head as he thrust in and out of her mouth.

Two hours later, Ron lay in the middle of the now magically enlarged bed, with Ginny in his arms and Fleur and Luna lounging under the bedcovers to his left and right, when he suddenly sat upright. "Did somebody say Fleur's parents are coming to visit?" He shouted, startled and somewhat afraid.

Glancing up, Luna smirked. "Told you he would catch on quick."

"Damn. Thanks a lot, Ron. You just cost me five sickles." Ginny said, smacking his arm.

"W…why…why are they coming here? D…do they know about us…err me?" Ron asked, turning a shade of red to match his hair.

Propping herself up on her elbow, Fleur spared him an innocent look. "I was hoping you and I could tell them together." She said calmly.

Choking, Ron looked panic-stricken at the very idea and briefly considered making a break for the floo and renting a room at the Leaky Cauldron until the start of term when Fleur laughed, finally taking pity on him.

"I'm kidding. All they know is that I'm leaving Bill and that you are letting me stay in one of the guest rooms while we settle things. I'd rather not tell them about you until I have a better idea of where things are going." She said, sharing an amused glance with Luna and Ginny.

Settling back against the headboard, Ron let out a relieved sigh as Ginny, Fleur, and Luna climbed out of bed, heading towards their respective rooms to shower and dress, leaving Ron alone with his thoughts. Deciding to get out of bed for the day, Ron headed towards his private bathroom to shower, shave and dress for the day before heading downstairs. Entering the dining room, he found Hermione idly nibbling a piece of toast while reading a thick, leather-bound book and taking notes on a sheaf of parchment with her quill. She looked up when Ron approached and waved him over.

"Ron, I'm glad you're here. I need your help to test a new spell I'm working on." She said, looking up as the other girls came in to sit at the breakfast table.

"Sure, Hermione. Meet me in the library after breakfast and we'll work on it together." Ron said as he loaded his plate. He had worked up a huge appetite and began ravenously devouring his food.

The girls who were used to his eating habits by now dug into their own breakfasts, hardly noticing him. A few minutes later, they looked up when the post arrived, three owls flying in, two of them landing in front of Ron and Hermione respectively, dropping off their copies of the Daily Prophet, the third landing in front of Fleur. Hermione and Ron relieved their owls of their burdens, the birds promptly taking flight out the windows again while Fleur removed the letter from her own owl and offered it a piece of bacon from her plate.

Opening the letter, she read through the contents, absentmindedly petting the tawny owl in front of her. When she finished the letter, she looked up at Ron. "My parents and little sister are coming in tomorrow. They're renting a couple of rooms at the Leaky Cauldron and would like your permission to visit the manor for a few hours." She said.

Looking up from the Daily Prophet, Ron nodded and set the paper down. "Sure, that's fine with me." I'll add their names to the ward book later, so they can visit whenever they like." Ron said, before finishing his breakfast.

Ron had changed a lot over the last few weeks and while he still lacked decent table manners he had stopped eating as much and begun to tone. His interest in Quidditch had kept him fit, and he had begun to develop a lean, muscular build. Something the girls had noticed and were secretly pleased with. With help from Hermione and encouragement from the girls, he had even taken more interest in his studies although he still much preferred to be flying on his broom or playing chess.

After finishing their breakfasts, he and Hermione stood up from the table and excused themselves. "Ron is going to help me test a new spell I'm working on, in the library if you need us," Hermione said as they left the dining hall and headed towards the library.

Walking into the library, Hermione stopped to look over the notes and books she had laid out on a nearby table. "Have a seat, Ron. I just need to check something first then we'll get started."

"What's this spell supposed to do anyway?" Ron asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"It's supposed to enhance one's natural abilities," Hermione replied, still looking at her notes.

"Natural abilities?" Ron asked, curious.

"Yeah, you know. Vision, hearing, sense of smell. That sort of thing." Hermione replied, looking up from her notes and drawing her wand.

"Oh okay. That's cool, I guess. Are there any side effects I should know about?" Ron asked.

"Well, we'll find out in a minute," Hermione said, waving her wand and silently casting her spell.

"Okay. Wait…what?" Ron asked, just as the spell hit him. A few seconds passed, and nothing happened. Ron looked around and Hermione bit her lip in thought. "Do you feel any different?" She asked.

"Not really. I think…agh!" Ron let out a loud cry of pain and fell out of the chair onto the floor spasming uncontrollably.

"Ron! Ron are you okay?" Hermione said, kneeling down beside Ron, fussing worriedly.

A few minutes later, Fleur, Ginny, and Luna came running into the library, looking about and spotting them, came rushing over. "What's going on? We heard someone screaming." Fleur said.

"Ron, Ron are you okay?" Ginny said, kneeling beside Ron trying to help him.

"Oh my," Luna stated, somewhat surprised.

Ron had finally stopped spasming but now lay quiet and unmoving. That wasn't what caused the girls such shock though. While he was spasming, Ron's body had begun to warp and alter itself. His features had become more defined, his skin pale and smooth, his ears no longer sticking out so much, his face handsome and dignified. His hair had grown longer, now splayed down around his shoulders and now a very dark shade of red, almost black. During his spasming, his shirt had ridden up, now revealing a six pack, a light dusting of fine dark hair over his chest.

Slowly, Ron finally came too and opened his eyes causing the girls to gasp in shock. His eyes were now slitted like a cat and had changed to a dark amber color. Groaning, Ron sat up slowly. "What happened?" He asked, revealing dazzling, brilliant white teeth. His voice was rich and deep, it seemed to draw them in as if they were in a trance.

"Ron, are you okay? You collapsed and started spasming. We heard you screaming all the way upstairs." Ginny said, shaking her head, her hands on his arm.

"I feel fine. Honestly, I've never felt so great in my life. Shaking his head, Ron looked around. "Weird. Things look so much clearer now. I can smell the gardens through the window over there. I never realized how wonderful flowers smelt before." Ron said pointing to the window, thirty feet away on the other side of the library.

"Ron the gardens are at least two hundred feet from here," Fleur said, skeptically.

Chewing her bottom lip in thought, Hermione waved her wand over him, casting diagnostic spells. "Weird. Ron seems to have undergone a creature transformation." She said.

Startled, Ron looked up at her. "What kind of creature transformation?" He asked, worriedly.

"I'm not sure. I'll have to do some research to find out." Hermione said, anxiously looking around the bookshelves in the library.

Standing, Ron slowly shook himself looking around the room, trying to adjust to his new heightened senses. All the new changes to his senses of sight and smell were starting to overwhelm him and feeling dizzy he braced himself against the table, closing his eyes for a moment.

"Ron are you okay? Maybe we should take you upstairs to lay down for a little while." Ginny said taking his right arm as Fleur grabbed his left. They helped him to stand and led him out of the library and up the stairs to the master bedroom.

"Now then, let's get you undressed so you can take a short kip," Ginny said, as she, Fleur and Luna began to undress him. Ron was still quite dizzy and so let them help him without making too much of a fuss until he was dressed in only his socks and a pair of boxers.

Fleur, Luna, and Ginny froze looking down in shock and disbelief, their mouths hanging open.

Startled, Ron glanced around at each of their stunned faces. "What? What's wrong?" He asked, looking down where their gazes were focused. His boxers were now at least one size too small and revealing the outline of his groin. Tugging them down, he gasped too. Ron's cock which had only that morning been five inches long was now a shocking 8 ½ inches and was now as thick around as a butterbeer bottle.

"Wow," Fleur said, softly.

Dumbly, Ginny nodded, her mouth gaping like a fish. "Yeah."

Luna, smiling serenely, just stared at it, saying nothing.

Hours later, in the Library, Hermione sat reviewing her notes, studying the data from the diagnostic scans and passages from several books in front of her and let out a gasp.

"Merlin's beard. It can't be. Ron's an…" She whispered to herself.

Author's note. I know this story started out a bit sordid but I want to make it about more than just lemons. I have had a few bad reviews and was kind of doubting whether I should go through with this story, but I've decided to persevere. In the next chapter, the Delacours visit and we learn what creature Ron has turned into. Also, in the next couple of chapters Ron and the girls will set out for Platform 9 3/4 and the Hogwarts school year will begin. Please review and tell me what you think.
