Talk of Draco Malfoy's ass kicking at the hands of Harry Potter was hard to escape in the following weeks. Harry found it easy to ignore them with Natalia at his side. The two were often seen holding hands as the walked around Hogwarts. Their making up didn't change the pairings in class too often though. Only in days when Ron needed Hermione's expect help more than Nat did. Malfoy was pretty quiet after the fight (if you could call it that). He was still letting the pretty Asian girl hang off of him. Nat was not convinced though, she still had the nightmares of the day when Malfoy would come for her again. When she saw him in class or in the hall her chest tightened and she held her breath until she couldn't see him anymore.

Then the school moved on from the gossip to talk about the upcoming Halloween party as announced by Slughorn. Students waited eagerly (and some with only mild interest) for a invitation to come their way. Slughorn took some pleasure in watching the students wait for his invites so he released them in waves. Harry, Hermione and Ginny received invitations three days before the party.

"Oh it says plus one!" Ginny said excitedly as she and Hermione were looking over the invites on more time in Gryffindor common room. "We can bring dates."

"You'll be taking me then?" Seamus said with a toothy grin. He had been listening in from his gobstones game with Neville.

"Actually I thought I'd take someone else." Ginny said with such convincing sincerity Seamus actually stood up.

"Who?" He demanded.

"Natalia Drake of course." Ginny said walking over to where Nat was sitting and reading a book with her glasses on. Harry and Ron were playing chess at a table off to the side, they looked up. Ginny sat dramatically in Nat's lap and put her arms around her. "She's my lover. We've been together for weeks! You didn't notice?"

"Hey!" Hermione said suddenly standing and joining Ginny on Nat's lap. Nat took off her glasses and set them on the top of her head. "She was SO my lover first!"

"I thought we agreed to share my loves." Nat pouted. "You know I can't choose between you."

"You're serious?" Seamus said eyebrows raised. Dean and Pavarti were looking over now too. Watching from their snuggling session on a couch.

"Oh course." The girls said together their expressions left no room for doubt. Still Seamus couldn't believe that his girlfriend was actually in a three way lesbian relationship.

"I don't believe you." He said crossing his arms. Ginny have him a wicked grin and then after a wink from Natalia lent down and kissed her full on the mouth. Some mouths hung open, some others in the common room made cat calls. Neville blushed – his whole face a vivid brick red and he quickly got up and left the common room. Some people laughing at him after the door had shut again. Harry bit his lip grinning broadly. Ron was one of the people with their mouths hanging open.

"Hey now!" Seamus said walking forward and pulling Ginny away from Natalia. Ginny fell into a fit of giggles. Seamus looked at Nat with a soft glare and Nat laughed and licked her lips gently and then laughed once.

"Oi Seamus control you woman!" Ron laughed.

"It's Potter that has to control his woman!" Seamus said.

"Shouldn't you worry about your woman brother?" Ginny countered nodding at Nat and Hermione who after a shared grin lent in a kissed each other. There was a hearty round of hoots and cheers this time. Ron blushed and his mouth went dry. Nat's hand went to gently hold Hermione's throat. Harry stood up and cleared his throat. He walked over to the pair and pulled Hermione off who giggled as Harry then pulled Nat to her feet. He pulled her in for a tight hug. Nat grinned up at him.

"Didn't I already express my feelings on sharing?" He whispered to her. His voice was hot and seductive.

"I thought this time you wouldn't mind as much." She replied. More hoots from the Gryffindors made Harry and Nat look over. Hermione and Ron were lip locked. Harry laughed and then cat called at them. Ron flipped him off. Nat and Ginny looked at each other and congratulated themselves. Harry pulled Natalia towards the stairs to the sleeping chambers suddenly making Nat stumble. "What are you doing Harry?"

"Getting the bedroom before Ron can." Harry said still pulling her. She laughed and shook her head. When they reached the 6th year boys room Harry picked Nat up and placed her on his bed. He got in after her and quickly closed all his curtains and cast a silencing charm. Keeping noise in – but also blocking noises from the outside too. Just in case Ron and Hermione's first kiss got heavy. Harry laid beside Natalia who grinned at him.

"That worked quite well." She said softly.

"Proud of yourself then?" Harry said pulling her close.

"Of course!" Nat giggled. "You boys are easy to rile up. Our plan worked perfectly."

"Easy are we?" Harry said. Nat nodded and kissed him deeply she pushed him on his back and climbed on top of his to straddle his waist.

"Very easy." She said leaning over so her face inches away from his face. Harry growled a little ad flipped Nat over so he was on top of her. She ran her hands under his shirts. He pulled them off and tossed them at their feet. Nat lent up and kissed his chest. Harry grabbed the waist line of her shirts and pulled them off in one go. Kissing her on the mouth immediately after it was uncovered again. He tossed her shirts over to join his own. He then took a moment to appreciate the pale skin and soft features of the woman beneath him. She smirked at him and trailed her hands along his abs and chest. She pulled him into a hug and he kissed her neck. She sighed and lent into them for a moment then looked up at his face and gently took off his glasses. She then kissed him on the mouth once more.

"That's-enough-" Harry spoke between kisses. "Clothing-for-now."

"Yeah," Nat said pulling Harry down as she laid back down on her back.

"One day. When we're both ready." Harry said softly kissing down her front. He looked up at her and she smiled gently touching his face. "I love you."

"I believe you." Nat said softly. She pulled him up to lay beside her, brushing his hair off of his forehead and out of his eyes. "I love you too." They took a few moments to digest the confession. Nat touched Harry's lips and then traced them softly. Harry felt a wave of arousal go through him and with a throaty growl he kissed her again. Nat giggled.

A few days later it was time for Slughorn's Halloween party. Ginny joined Natalia and Hermione in the year 6 girl's chambers to get ready. Hermione was applying some powder on her neck to set the concealer she had just put there. Nat giggled at her.

"Shut up." Hermione grinned. Ron as it turned out liked to leave marks. Even though this party was their first official date the pair had official couple status after the girl's very successful "operation make out."

"Done." Ginny said making the other two look over. Ginny wore a gorgeous Grecian style gown. Her hair was in a elaborate curly up do and all her accessories were golden. Even the laurels in her hair. "What do you think?"

"Smokin' hot Gin." Nat said with a smile. Ginny twirled and giggled. Nat was wearing a slinky black floor length halter dress with a slit up the right side to her mid thigh. On her thigh was a wand hoster – wand in place of course. She was going as a witch-ified Bond girl. After explaining the costume to Ginny – she was very excited.

"Harry will be all over that neck of yours tonight." Hermione said with a laugh.

"His mouth anyway. His hands will be somewhere else." Ginny as she walked over to give Nat's bum a soft tap. Nat stuck her tongue out at her. "I'm jealous you can pull off that short hair Nat. It really does make you look so pretty. All that long neck."

"It's annoying. Trust me." Nat said dismissing the compliment and putting on some lip stick. Hermione was the last to get ready. She wore a tight black catsuit complete with tail and ears. There had been some teasing by Harry and Ron when she told them what she was going to be. Natalia had to wait for she and Harry to be alone before she could be told the story of their second year at Hogwarts and the polyjuice potion.

The girls all entered the common room at the same time. They took a moment to stare at the boys and in turn be stared at by the boys. Harry was wearing a black suit, no tied and buttons undone to show off a good amount of chest. He was wearing some contact lenses so his green eyes were on full display. His hair was styled in true Bond fashion. Seamus was wearing a dramatic toga robe – complete with red cape and gold accents. He and Ginny were Zeus and Hera. Ron and Hermione weren't exactly matching. Ron had taken the easy way out and dressed up as a Mummy. Hermione assured him it was fine though as ancient Egyptians did worship cats.

"You look brilliant." Ron said finally breaking the silence.

"As do you." Hermione smiled. "We'd best get going. Slughorn will notice if Harry is late."

"Yeah, yeah. Make it my problem." Harry sighed. Still he took Nat's hand and led the group to where Slughorn's office – and the party – was. They were met with good cheer as Slughorn made sure to get a picture with the three he had sent invites to. After the necessary pleasantries and introductions were made the party livened up. The music was good and the food and drink seemed to be ever lasting. After a particularity lively set of songs Harry and Nat retreated to the far wall where the windows had been opened. "You're a good dancer."

"Thanks." Nat grinned. "You are too." Harry grinned at her and then took a moment to look out the windows at the grounds. Nat looked at Harry's face in the moonlight she reached up to touch his face, Harry smiled and turned to kiss her. Harry was especially tender tonight. It drove Nat crazy – she was hungry for passionate kisses.

"I'll get us something to drink." Harry said and after a nod from Nat left to go over to the table to get two glasses of the punch that Slughorn had provided. It had been spiked long ago now, but no one seemed to complain. From her spot Nat could watch all the people dancing. Ginny and Seamus were laughing and thoroughly enjoying themselves on the dance floor. Nat watched them with fondness for a bit before she started to look for Hermione and Ron. She caught sight of them just as they were slipping out of the door. She laughed just as Harry returned. "What?"

"Herm and Ron." Nat said taking her drink. "They just ditched."

"Heh." Harry said looking in the direction of the door. "Makes going after them and embarrassing them seem really worth it."

"Almost." Nat laughed. She drank her punch quickly. She was thirsty after dancing so much. "Though I think ditching also is way more tempting."

"Mm." Harry agreed putting his empty cup near Nat's on the windowsill and then pulled her close. "Best not tempt me my lady."

"Here I thought Mr, Bond always took the chance to get the woman." Nat teased playfully touching the bit of Harry's chest that was visible.

"Here I thought I had gotten her." Harry said leaning in and putting his forehead against hers. A slow song had started playing and Harry started to rock them gently back and forth to the beat. Nat couldn't stand it any longer and kissed Harry like she wanted him to kiss her wrapping her arms around his neck. When they separated Harry bit his lip and pressed his hands against her exposed back. "Alright. You win."

Nat grinned as Harry led her out of the party. She waved at Ginny as they walked by. Harry said "Good night." to Slughorn who was too drunk from the spiked punch to remember who they were. Harry knew that he didn't want to go back to the Gryffindor tower just yet. Not when he didn't know where Ron and Hermione went. He looked in a classroom and opened the door. It wasn't locked so he knew it wasn't occupied. He shut the door behind him after making sure there was no office attached to this particular class room and then locked the door. Nat cast a black out spell on the window in the door. Harry watched her put her wand away. The flash of skin was all Harry needed. He gently positioned her against the nearest bit of all and kissed her. His hand ran up Nat's exposed leg and her cursed slightly as a wave of charged excitement ran through him. Nat kissed his exposed beck, moving downwards and undoing buttons as she went. Once all the buttons were undone she pulled the shirt and blazer off.

The cold air touching his skin gave Harry goosebumps. He pressed himself against Natalia. His arousal made her groan slightly with excitement. She raked his back with her nails and he moaned as he kissed her. She took his face in her hands and looked at him. "I am going to do something to you Harry Potter." She said softly. "And you are not allowed to stop me."

"Yeah. Alright." Harry breathed pressing himself against her again.

"I mean it." Nat said still holding his face, "Trust me and close your eyes."

Harry allowed her to switch places with him so he was now pressed against the wall. He shut his eyes when she gently brushed his face with her fingertips. He kissed her fingers when they reached his mouth. He felt like he was in someone else as Nat trailed down his torso with kisses. No girl would want to touch him like that. Not with their mouth anyway. Harry went almost weak at the knees as Nat moved his pants and boxers to place a kiss on his hip bone. He grabbed at the wall.

"Hold on now Potter." Nat said grinning and standing again. She kissed him as she undid his pants. "We've only just started." Harry's eyes went wide with disbelief as Nat knelt again pulling down his pants and boxers as she went. The wall was cold against so much of his skin but Harry was already sweating so the coolness was more welcome than not. He dug at the wall with his fingers and arched his back, pressing his head against the wall. Moaning as Nat started to pleasure him.

"Fuck." He gasped. Nat grinned and then went back to herself assigned task of pleasuring Harry. Harry felt his control slipping rapidly. He grabbed at Nat's shoulders. He managed to pull out that simple knot that held Nat's dress up. He looked down as she started to stand up as his mind could do was curse wildly as her breasts brushed against him the whole way. He picked her up out of the dress and stepped out of his own pants to carry Nat over and set her on a desk. Before she could even think about that Harry was going to do he was kissing every bit of her chest that he could reach. She maned and Harry laughed a little in victory before going back to kiss around her navel. His hands were on her lower back and she was arched over them.

"Harry." She moaned.

"I fucking love it when you say that." Harry growled.

"I love it when you make me say it." Nat sighed. Harry pulled her upright. Her hand went down to bring harry over the edge. Harry tensed and cursed loudly and Nat knew he was done. She smiled and let him slump against her. His head resting on her chest. They were both breathing heavily and sweating. Harry looked up at Nat who kissed him again before taking the wand from her thigh and casting a neat little spell she had learned to clean them both up. Harry hugged her once more and pulled her off the desk. He kissed her forehead before they separated to pull on their clothes. After a quick check of the hallway they made their way back to Gryffindor common room.

"You shirt's undone mate." Seamus said as the pair came into view. He and Ginny were relaxing on the couch still in costume. Harry looked down. Indeed his buttons were all undone.

"Funny story that." Harry said after looking up again.

"I'm sure it is." Ginny grinned and pulled Nat away from Harry and up to get changed. Harry sighed at sat across from Seamus.

"Good night?" Harry asked.

"Yup." Seamus grinned. "You?"

"Oh yeah," Harry returned the same grin. They laughed and stood up together heading back to their chambers to get changed.
