A/N: This is The Talk with Harry and Ron. It's quite a bit more graphic than the previous one. Also the subject matter later on is much more mature. You've been warned. ENJOY!

Harry sat looking at his watch every few seconds waiting on Ron to make an appearance. When Harry had arrived back in the Head's common room last night he had informed Ron of the talk they were to have this morning. They had agreed to meet at a quarter till eight and go to the Defense classroom together. It was now ten of eight and Ron had yet to make an appearance. Standing up with a huff, Harry made his way to Hermione's door. He placed an ear against the door and hearing only silence he slowly pushed the door open. Ron and Hermione were curled together on one of the beds sleeping soundly. Harry rolled his eyes formulating a plan to wake Ron. He silently made his way to the bed pulling out his wand as he went. He aimed the tip at Ron's face and thought aguamenti. "OY! WHAT THE HELL!" Ron yelled as the icy water hit him square on the face. He sat up so quickly that he dumped Hermione off on the floor.

"You've got three minutes before I leave and send Bill in her after you," Harry said desperately trying to hold in his laugh.

Hermione sat dazedly on the floor looking from Ron to Harry and back. Then she realized she was sitting there in her knickers and one of Ron's old Chudley Cannons t-shirts. With a shriek she grabbed at the covers on the bed, "HARRY GET OUT OF HERE! I'M IN MY PAJAMAS!" Hermione screamed. When she pulled the covers off the bed she didn't realize that Ron's leg was twisted in them till Ron fell off the other side of the bed landing on his side.

"DAM IT POTTER! I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS!" yelled Ron as he struggled to free his leg from the covers still on the bed. "YOU'D BETTER RUN BECAUSE WHEN I CATCH YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO WISH YOU'D NEVER COME IN HERE!"

Harry couldn't contain his laughter any longer, "Fine. I'll just leave and let Bill come get you. Then you can explain to him that you and Hermione have been sharing a bed for over a month."

The realization that it was a very real possibility that his oldest brother would come find him finally hit Ron. Taking a deep breath to calm his temper he looked up at Harry who was shaking with laughter, "Fine. Just give me a minute and we'll go." All Harry could do was nod and walk out of the room.

Five minutes later Harry and Ron were making their way out of the portrait hole as Bill came walking up, "We thought you two would chicken out so Remus sent me to fetch you."

Harry and Ron looked at each other and nodded at Bill. Neither could speak thinking of what was to come this morning.

All too soon they found themselves in the Defense classroom. After they made way into the room, Remus cast a locking charm and a silencing charm, "I didn't figure you two would like for us to be interrupted." Both Harry and Ron shook their heads vigorously. Taking the lead in the academic discussion Remus began, "Now Ron you've come of age and Harry you'll be of age in a little over a month. And as such, it's time you learned how to behave responsibly when it comes to sexual relationships. We are going to teach you to do a couple types of contraception charms as well as a temporary sterility charm for yourselves. We are going to discuss muggle methods of contraception and the various diseases you can get if you are not responsible. Do you have any questions on what we are going to cover?"

Both Ron and Harry shook their head negatively. "Fine then lets get started. First the contraception charms. You need to agree with your partner, from the very beginning, who is going to cast the charm. It last for only about 45 minutes and can not be recast for two hours or you risk permanently sterilizing your partner." Ron and Harry paled at this statement. Unbeknownst to the other, both had thought and dreamed of having a family with their respective girlfriends and instantly became concerned that they could mess things up and never get that chance.

Biting back a laugh at the boys suddenly pale faces, Remus continued, "The problem with a contraceptive charm for the female is that it must be cast a specific time. She must be completely aroused then you have to remember to stop what you are doing to cast the charm. We will tell you the incantation and show you the wand movements but it's useless to practice it without a female present. Then only way to know it is working is the glow when the charm incantation is done right. So even if you do not think what you are doing will lead to actual intercourse, you should still get into the habit of performing the charm each and every time. Do you have any questions?" Ron and Harry swallowed hard and shook their heads. "Now boys, we are doing this for your information. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask." Still, Ron and Harry shook their heads no.

"Alright, we will move on to the Temporary Sterility charm. If you are planning a romantic evening and want things to 'go with the flow' I suggest using this charm. It can be cast up to an hour before you become intimate and automatically ceases to function when you ejaculate." Remus had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing when Ron and Harry blushed. Clearing his throat, Remus continued, "The draw back of this one is that the use of it too many times can, potentially, render you permanently sterile."

"WHAT!" Harry exclaimed, "What do you mean permanently and how many times is too many?"

Remus began to laugh and quickly covered it with a cough. Bill took up where Remus left off due to his violent cough, "Just what he said, Harry. Using that charm too many times will make you unable to father children. And for as how many times are too many, well it's different for each wizard. The more powerful the wizard the more times he can use the charm. The only way you can tell for sure if you're reaching the end of usefulness for that charm is to see a Healer and have a semen analysis done."

"Well I don't like the sound of that. And I don't even want to know what is involved in a semen analysis," Harry said with a shudder.

Remus, having recovered from his coughing, asked, "Do you have any other questions about this charm?"

Ron spoke for the first time, "Not about that but why are we responsible for this? Why can't she take care of it?"

Bill hit Ron on the back of his head, "Ron you prat. You have to take responsibility for preventing pregnancy. It takes two to tango and you would be equally responsible for any child produced so you need to take equal responsibility for learning to prevent pregnancy. Besides, you are way too young to be a dad and mum would kill you where you stood if you told her you'd gotten Hermione pregnant. Then she'd kill me because she'd think I didn't have the talk with you. So you sit there, pay attention and remember everything we tell you."

Ron nodded mutely.

"Now, let's move onto muggle methods of contraception. There are birth control pills and condoms. Birth control pills would be taken by your partner and condoms should be used each and every time you have intercourse, even if you use the spells and birth control. I can't tell you much about birth control pills except that they have to be taken every day and at about the same time. Condoms on the other hand are made of a product called latex. There are some made of other products, but latex condoms are the most reliable. Once you've achieved an erection, you roll the condom over your penis. It keeps your ejaculate from entering into your partners' vagina thus preventing pregnancy." Again Remus had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing. Ron and Harry had both blushed then paled in rapid succession.

Remus walked over to his desk and opening one of the drawers pulled out a brown paper sack and a bunch of bananas. He tossed Ron and Harry each a banana and held open the sack for them. Harry and Ron reached in and pulled out a little foil packet. At the questioning look on their faces, Remus explained, "Those are condoms. You're going to practice putting them on the banana." This time it was Bills turn to cover his laugh with a violent coughing fit. No matter how obsessed his dad was with all things muggle, he had never made him or any of his brothers try to put a condom on a banana.

Ron looked from his banana to Remus and asked, "Are you putting me on? You don't really expect us to…to put this on a banana?"

"No Ron, I'm not. You need to have experience handling condoms before you find yourself in a situation to need them. I know you are a bit uncomfortable with this but would you rather fumble around trying this out on a banana or the first time you are intimate with a witch?" Remus asked Ron.

With out waiting for another word, Harry tore open the package. Even though he would never admit it to anyone, he was a bit curious as to what a condom looked like, "Hey, it's like a balloon." Harry pulled the condom out of the package and began unrolling it.

Remus shook his head, "Harry, if you unroll that, you'll never get it onto the banana."

"Oh, right." Harry went back to trying to put the condom onto the banana. "So, sir if charms work why do we need condoms?"

"Good question, Harry. There are several diseases which are contractible through the exchange of bodily fluid. What I mean by body fluid is blood, vaginal secretions or semen. Some are curable and some are not even with magic. The one I want to make you aware of that is not curable is HIV. It's called Human Imunodefiencey Virus. This virus attacks the cells that fight infection. With out those cells you can not fight infection and will eventually die because of overwhelming infection. As advanced as wizard medicine is, we can not cure HIV.

"It is possible to transmit this disease to your partner through sexual intercourse or through a transfer of blood. Despite some popular misconceptions, you can not transmit this disease through kissing or casual touch. There are a few other STDs, sexually transmitted diseases, you should be aware of. Gonorrhea and syphilis can both be treated with medication however they are very painful and can cause scaring. It's best to avoid them all together." Remus looked from Ron to Harry, "Do you have any questions?"

Ron's ears burned bright red, "Well, I have a question, but it's not about what you've told us, Professor."

"Don't be embarrassed to ask question, Ron. What is it?" Remus asked gently.

"Well, you see I heard Fred and George talking. They were talking about things you can, um, well you can um do for her" Ron began but was quickly interrupted.

"Whoa…what ever you might have heard from Fred and George, do not remember it. As many times as Charlie and I tried to correct their knowledge…well just let me say, unless they picked something up from somewhere else, their information is wrong," Bill said with a bit of a laugh. "But I think I'll take it from here, Remus." At Remus' nod, Bill continued, "I think what you are going to ask about is how can you make things feel good for her?"

Ron continued to blush and mumbled, "Yeah that's what I want to know."

"Well, there are things you can do to make her feel better and by interesting coincidence make you feel better knowing what you're doing can elicit a response from her. You can touch her in her erogenous zones." Bill flicked his wand and a faceless model of female anatomy appeared in front of Ron and Harry. "Those zones vary from woman to woman but are there are some generalities, too. Like here," pointing to the neck, "and here" pointing to where the breasts were, "and here" pointing to the hips and buttocks, "and here" pointing to the inner thighs. "Of course there are the obvious areas in her pubic area." Bill flicked his wand again and a detailed picture of vaginal anatomy appeared. Pointing at the small nub, "This is the clitoris. It is the termination of a bundle of nerves and is the pleasure center. Some women can not orgasm with out direct stimulation of the clitoris. And some find direct stimulation too overwhelming. So be careful to pay attention to her reactions when you touch it."

Bill handed Ron and Harry a book each, "In here you can read about various ways to pleasure a woman. It's the way I learned and I haven't had any complaints" Bill said with a smug grin. "Now of course, not every encounter has to lead to intercourse. This book will tell you about some of the things the two of you can share that will feel just as good and be 100 effective in preventing pregnancy."

Harry and Ron looked down at the title Karma Sutra for Beginners. "So how are we supposed to know what she likes," Harry asked in a small voice while flipping through the book.

"Just try. That's all you can do is try things and if she responds you'll know whether she likes it or not." Bill said with a smile.

"But how will we know if she likes it, what we're doing?" Harry asked not daring to look at Bill.

"Trust me, Harry, you'll know," Bill said confidently. "Now if someone other than yourselves picks up these books, they are charmed to become blank. But make sure mum doesn't find them because she knows what they are." Turning to look at Remus, Bill asked, "Is there anything you want to add?"

Remus shook his head, "Do you boys have any questions?"

Quietly Harry asked, "Does it hurt?"

Bill blushed a bit at answering this question but since Harry had asked, he knew that his sister was still intact, "Not for you at least not physically. It will hurt her if she is still a virgin and her hymen hasn't been torn due to physical activity. But if you really care for her, it will most likely cause you emotional pain, knowing that she is hurting and you are the one causing that pain. Should this happen and you find yourself tearing the hymen, once it's torn, stop and let her adjust. Wait for her to signal that it's okay to continue. Things may be a bit uncomfortable for her the first few times but as long as you make sure she is properly aroused before hand, natural lubricant should take care of that." Bill looked at his little brother and thought he's not so little any more. He's of age and dating. I can't believe he's waited this long. Good for him. I just hope he doesn't go shagging anything that moves just because we've educated him. "If you two don't have any more questions, lets go eat," Bill said.

Ron looked at Harry then to Bill and Remus, "I don't feel much like eating."

"Me neither," chimed Harry

"How about we go play a game of chess, Harry?" Ron asked.

"Sounds great," Harry answered, "I'm sure Maryann or one of the others would bring us something if we are hungry later."

As they got up to leave, Bill said to Harry, "Don't forget to meet me at 1:00."

"Don't worry, I wont," Harry answered.

Neither Bill nor Remus could suppress a grin as Harry and Ron left, "Thanks for your help, Bill. I sure wouldn't have known where to get that book for them. And you're taking it pretty well considering who Harry's dating."

"Well, at least I know he has the correct knowledge and not some crap Fred and George could come up with. Don't get me wrong, they know how to prevent pregnancy and how to keep themselves healthy, but some of the questions those two came up with, Merlin only knows where it came from." Bill reached back into his bag and handed Remus a book, "I got one for you, too. Be sure Tonks knows who to thank," Bill said with a laugh as he darted out of the classroom before Remus could recover from his shock and give chase.

Both Harry and Ron flipped through their books on the way back to the dorm. When they entered Harry made his way toward his room and Ron fell onto a chair in the corner, neither having any interest in a chess game.

Harry sat down on his bed and began reading his book. He was soon so engrossed in the material he did not notice Ginny come up behind him till he felt her hands on his shoulders. "I missed you a breakfast," Ginny whispered in his ear. She stood on tip-toes to peer over his shoulder and caught sight of the moving diagrams in his book. Harry couldn't miss the sharp intake of breath as Ginny tried to wrestle the book out of Harry's hands. "Where did you get this?" Ginny asked in a hoarse whisper.

As the book left Harry's hands it was wiped clean. Harry blushed furiously as he turned on the bed to look at Ginny while at the same time trying to keep himself covered. He didn't want Ginny to know how looking at the images in the book had affected him. He had been pleasantly day dreaming of doing many of these things with Ginny. Harry was so embarrassed he couldn't speak.

"Hey, what happened? Where did the picture go?" Ginny asked as she flipped through the pages. "Hey, they're all blank."

Harry swallowed hard and pulled a pillow onto his lap, "Bill charmed is so that if anyone but me picked up that book it would wipe its self clean." Harry's voice was raw as he looked longingly at Ginny.

With a raised eyebrow Ginny asked, "So if I want to read this book, I have to read it with you?"

Harry didn't think Bill had thought of that. In fact he was pretty sure that Bill had never thought his sister, his little sister, would find and want to read this particular book. Harry blushed even harder and the little problem in his pants gave a painful throb at the thought of reading that book with Ginny, "I guess. But you don't want to read that." Harry tried desperately to get the book from Ginny without revealing his problem.

Ginny stepped away from the bed, the book still in her hands, "What's wrong with you, Harry? You look like you're hurting."

"More than you can imagine, Ginny. Now could you just give me the book back and give me a few minutes?" Harry pleaded.

"No. I don't think I will. If you want this back you're going to have to come get it," Ginny said with a hard, blazing look in her eye. Of course she knew why Harry wasn't getting up. Now she wanted to know how it is that Harry came to be in this little predicament. Ginny began to gently work her way into Harry's mind. She knew she may never get a straight answer out of him and she wasn't above using any means necessary to achieve her goal.

"Ginny!" Harry exclaimed as he felt her trying to invade his thoughts, "Cut that out. You know there are some things I'd like to keep private." He made another lunge for the book while trying to remain covered.

"No way Potter, you want this that bad you're going to have to come after it." Ginny sauntered into the bathroom swinging her hips suggestively. As she came to the doorway she looked over her shoulder and left a message in Harry's mind, Don't think I don't know Harry. I saw what you were dreaming of. Why don't you come get your little book?

Harry groaned to himself. He couldn't believe he had let Ginny see that. He didn't want to shock her and he didn't want to disgust her with his lecherous thoughts. Finally giving up that Ginny was coming back with the book; Harry tossed the pillow aside and made his way cautiously into the bathroom. He didn't expect the sight that greeted him. Ginny had managed to conjure several candles and had them suspended all around the bathroom. She was leaning over the bathtub swishing the water as it came out of the nozzles. Sensing Harry behind her she smiled at him over her shoulder. She spoke to him through their connection, I think that last thing you were looking at would work in the tub, don't you?

Harry was stunned. He and Ginny had shared kisses and a few touches and had even shared dreams of children and a life but he had no idea that Ginny would want him to touch her this early in their relationship. He certainly didn't want her to feel rushed or pressured, "Ginny," Harry croaked, "You don't have to do this. I can take care of things my self." Harry gestured toward his growing 'problem.'

Ginny smiled at Harry and he noticed the hard look was still in her eyes. Using their connection, Ginny called up the image Harry had been having of people in the bathtub together, I want that, too, Harry. I want to be close to you. A thought suddenly came to Ginny, what if it hadn't been her he'd been dreaming about.

Sensing her doubt Harry made his way across the bathroom in two long strides. He gathered Ginny close to him and placed a hand under her chin to force her to look into his eyes, Of course it was you, only you, he thought. I just don't want you to be pressured into anything. I want things to be special for you.

"Being with you is special, Harry," Ginny whispered. She reached up a hand behind his neck and pulled him down for a passionate kiss. With her other hand, Ginny skimmed the edge of Harry's t-shirt, running her hand along the bottom edge. Harry groaned as he brought his hands up to cup her face and then run his fingers through her hair. Ginny brought her other hand down to the edge of Harry's t-shirt and pulled it off over his head. Harry's sucked in a breath as Ginny ran her hands down his abdomen. He began to kiss the hollow under her ear. She felt the ripples of muscles, Quidditch has been so good for him, she thought

Harry ran his hands down over her shoulders, down her back and cupped her buttocks pulling her closer to him. Ginny gasped as she felt his arousal against her stomach. She brought her hands down to the hem of her tank top and pulled it off over her head. Instantly Ginny became aware that she did not have on a bra and crossed her arms over her chest. Harry looked deep into Ginny's eyes and gently moved her arms. He slid his hands down and twined his fingers with hers. Without ever looking down from her eyes he murmured, "Beautiful." Ginny could feel a blush creep up from her neck, she had never been this bold before and certainly never allowed any other boyfriend see this much of her. Harry leaned over placing his forehead against hers, while looking in her eyes he said, "You are beautiful." Harry released her hands and skimmed his hands up her sides. His smoothed his hands across her shoulders to her neck and brought his lips back to hers. Harry gently pressed his lips to Ginny's and lightly ran his tongue over her bottom lip. Ginny opened her mouth and darted her tongue out to meet Harry's.

Harry found now his hands couldn't keep still. He felt the muscles of her shoulders and arms and thought Quidditch has been great for her. His hands came down her arms to her abdomen and he felt her shiver. Against his bare chest, Harry felt her breasts swell and the nipples begin to harden. He couldn't resist their siren-like call any longer. He slowly brought his hands up and brushed the underside of each breast and felt rather than heard Ginny moan. Harry felt his legs weaken with desire and he leaned against the tub edge.

Harry made a half turn to sit on the edge of the tub and brought Ginny to stand between his legs. He opened his left hand to cover her right breast and marveled at the feeling of the firmness of the nipple against the softness of the rest of the breast. Vaguely in the back of his mind, Harry realized his pants were wet. That thought finally swam forward in his consciousness as he wrenched his mouth away from Ginny's. Looking down at the tub, he realized they had forgotten about the water running and the tub had overflowed. Harry began to chuckle and Ginny looked dazedly at him before she realized he was looking somewhere other than at her. Ginny turned to look at what had captured Harry's attention and began to giggle as she realized the water was flowing over the side of the tub and was quickly making a huge mess in the bathroom.

Harry pulled his right hand away from Ginny and with out any conscious effort, thought accio wand. Harry's wand came soaring into the bathroom and Ginny moved away from Harry to turn off the water. Harry used his wand to siphon the water off the floor. When he turned back Ginny had shed the rest of her clothes and had climbed into the bath tub. Harry stared at the point where the bubbles covered her breasts. He still couldn't believe Ginny was in this bathroom with him and she was naked in the bath tub. Harry looked up into her eyes silently asking form permission. Ginny gave a little nod and turned to give Harry a bit of privacy. She felt and saw the water ripple as Harry climbed into the tub.

Harry turned his back against the end of the tub and motioned for Ginny to come closer. Once Ginny was close enough, Harry took her arm and turned her so her back was against his chest. He bent his knees so Ginny had a place to rest her arms. While his back had been turned, Ginny had pulled her hair up into a bun. Harry took advantage of this by trailing kisses across her neck and around to her ear. He gently nibbled on her ear as his hands traced lazy patterns on her arms. Ginny sighed and felt herself relax fully back against Harry. He moved his hands and began to gently massage her shoulders. Ginny moaned, "Oh Harry…you have wonderful hands." She dropped her head forward and his thumbs massaged her neck.

Harry continued to massage down her back, gently working knots as he came to them while his lips continued to explore her neck. Ginny moaned again and made to turn around to kiss Harry but he held her in place with his hands on her hips. Ginny settled back against Harry again and felt him pressing into her bottom. With a sense of mischief, wiggled her bottom ever so slightly and was rewarded with a nip on her shoulder where Harry had been kissing. Harry growled and moved his hands around and crossed his arms over her abdomen in effort to keep her still. Ginny grinned as she leaned her head back to rest it on his shoulder. With a slight turn of her head, Ginny was able to nibble on Harry's ear and delighted to realize her nibble made Harry shiver.

Harry began tracing lazy patterns on her abdomen never quite touching her breasts. Ginny began to get restless and once again tried to turn to kiss Harry but he held her in place by bringing his legs around and crossing them in front of her. Ginny growled in frustration and restlessly moved her head back and forth on his shoulder. She'd certainly never allowed any one else to ever touch her this way and wasn't exactly sure what she wanted but she knew there was something else she wanted, some other way she wanted Harry to touch her. Harry grinned into the side of Ginny's neck. He had read that if done correctly, touching a woman even without touching her breasts would arouse her. Finally with slow deliberation Harry allowed his hands to drift up and gently cup Ginny's breasts. At first all Harry could do was marvel at the feel and fit of them in his hands. He thought they were a perfect fit. He began to use his thumbs and forefingers tease the nipples into hardened buds.

Ginny couldn't suppress a moan as she arched her back. Harry was fascinated at the response he was eliciting from Ginny. With hooded eyes he gazed at her face and saw desire blaze across it. Ginny couldn't keep her hands steady and began to run them along Harry's legs that were still wrapped around her. Harry discovered he liked the feel of Ginny's hands on his skin. Ginny tried to reach around to touch Harry but he murmured in her ear, "no, you first," and gently moved her hands back in front of her. Ginny's sound of frustration turned into a moan as Harry's right hand drifted lower to rest at the juncture of her legs. Harry paused and looked at Ginny. Feeling Harry pause she looked at Harry with half-lidded eyes. Harry whispered, "Are you sure?" Ginny could only nod her voice having deserted her. Harry released a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding and let his hand finish its descent.

Ginny and Harry gasped as a red phoenix feather flamed in front of them, "Someone's coming" Harry growled. Looking at the clock on the wall Harry all but leapt out of the bath tub, "Oh bugger it all. I'm supposed to meet Bill in ten minutes." Looking at Ginny he saw what she was staring at. Her gaze had come to rest on his arousal and Harry hastily grabbed a towel to cover himself. "Look, Ginny, I…well if I don't go now I'll be late to meet Bill then they will be asking questions and Fawkes' feather means someone is coming to look for me." Harry knew he was babbling. "I don't want to go. I'd rather spend the afternoon here with you, but if I don't go someone will figure it out and we will never be alone again."

All Ginny could do was nod. She had seen the evidence of Harry's arousal and wondered if she was the one to cause that. Harry bent over the tub and placed his free hand on her cheek. He bent lower and gently kissed her lips then moved to her ear and whispered, "Of course it's you. I'll be back later. You finish your bath." Ginny nodded with a small grin and relaxed back in the tub.

Harry sprinted into the bedroom and began pulling clothes out of his trunk. He had just grabbed his underwear when his bedroom door flew open, "Harry," Ron said, "You'd better hurry or you'll be late to meet Bill."

Straightening up Harry responded, "Thanks Ron. I was in the bathtub and lost track of time. I'll be out in a minute."

"OY! Harry next time make sure you've got your knickers on. I don't fancy seeing your bare bum." Ron replied.

"Well, then make sure you knock next time and don't just open the door!" Harry exclaimed as he pulled on the rest of his clothes. He turned back to his trunk to get his invisibility cloak and the map. Harry called to Fawkes, "I don't suppose you could take me to the end of the tunnel that way I wouldn't be late?"

Fawkes gave a small cry and spread his wings. He flew over Harry's head and presented his tail feathers. "I'll take that as a yes." Harry grabbed onto Fawkes' tail feathers and in a flash was gone.

A/N: I know, not the 'full moon' you were probably expecting but I hope you enjoyed.
