Chapter 28: Last Days at Hogwarts P2
It was Friday and the foursome were getting ready for their graduation. It was to take place in the Great Hall. The foursome quietly walked down the stairs and met in the common room unceremoniously before walking down to the Great Hall. They could barely eat. The mostly shifted their food around their plates and then went back to their dormitories to change for graduation. They put on their Hogwarts uniforms and robes.
Harry was looking out the big window at the black lake. Nowadays, it was the only thing that calmed his nerves. He and Ginny hadn't been sleeping very well because they had been tossing and turning and having nightmares about Voldemort. Ron and Hermione couldn't sleep either, they were very restless at night and all they did was toss and turn as well. The foursome eventually made their way down the moving staircases and arrived at the main entrance of the castle. The parents and families of other 7th year students swarmed the entrance hall. Almost making it difficult to find each other. In fact, it took the foursome to find their parents in the multitude of families. Hermione's parents were there. She had reversed the obliviate charm and the Ministry took it into account for their protection. They had come to Hogwarts with Arthur and Molly. The four parents went to their respective children and hugged them. Molly as usual gave her bone-crunching hugs to Ron, Ginny, and Harry. This time her hug was so tight that Harry had trouble breathing.
"Ron, Ginny, Harry, at last!" said Molly clasping her hands together and with a big smile on her face as Arthur stood behind her. Then giving each on of them her famous bone-crunching hug.
"I'm sure your parents would of been proud of you just as we are Harry" said Arthur as he gave Harry a friendly pat on his back and Harry smiled back at him. Harry tried to smile and breath as he was still getting hugged by Molly. Just when he thought he was going to turn blue, Molly let go of him with a big smile on her face.
"Thanks Mr. Weasley" Harry said smiling back at Arthur.
"Can you believe it Arthur? They are finally going to graduate from Hogwarts afte all that has been going on" and then Molly's eyes started to get misty.
"Yes dear, it's great that after the Dark Lord did so much harm in our world, the kids can finally finish their studies and move on with their lives" said Arthur as he put an arm around his wife.
"I was just speaking with Minerva outside and she told me that the four of you have some wonderful news to tell us" Molly said looking at the foursome.
The foursome looked at each other before Harry spoke up, "I think it's best that we wait after the graduation before we tell you" and the other three nodded in agreement.
"Alright Harry dear. Now why don't we go into the Great Hall" said Molly.
At that moment everybody heard McGonagall's voice say "Students, parents and families, if you could please proceed into the Great Hall, the 7th students' graduation is about to commence. Thank you." A few seconds later, McGonagall repeated the same thing and all the students and families began to walk towards the Great Hall.
When they entered the Great Hall, it was full of people talking, laughing, and taking pictures. The walls at the sides had banners of the Hogwarts coat of arms. Arthur had even brought along his camera to take pictures of the foursome, as well as Hermione's parents with their digital camera. A few minutes later McGonagall stood at the front of the Great Hall.
"Parents and students, we would like to cordially welcome you to the 7th year students' graduation from Hogwarts. After confronting the Second War last year, we had several students that were unable to complete their studies and they had returned this year in order to accomplish their goal by finishing their 7th year at Hogwarts and to also take their NEWTs. I know that for some of us, Hogwarts still harbors sad memories of those loved one lost here during the Second War" at these words, Molly put her head down and there were tears rolling down her face as Arthur took out a hanky so she could wipe them. McGonagall continued with her speech, "Please, let's honor those lost in the Second War here at Hogwarts with a moment of silence." Everything went quiet and everybody bowed their heads in silence. Not a sound was heard, except for some sniffs and blowing of noses. After what seemed like a long time, McGonagall continued her speech, "I am sure that those lost in the Second War will forever be remembered and be held dear to our hearts." said McGonagall and then she turned to the 7th years who were right in front of her. "Students, your professors and I are very proud of your achievements, successes, and hard work during this last year at Hogwarts. We know that it wasn't easy but, all of you are here today because you acoomplished it and now you are to graduate from Hogwarts. You are not going to be 7th students anymore but, part of the wizarding world. A world in which you will be able to go out and demonstrate the accomplishments that you have acquired here at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It now gives me the most pleasure to present to all of you, the Minister of the Ministry of Magic himself, Mr. Kingsley Shacklebolt, Mr. Minister? Won't you come up please" said McGonagall looking in the Minister's direction. He nodded and he came up and stood next to McGonagall.
He did the sonorus charm and spoke, "Thank you Headmistress. I myself feel honored and privileged to be here at this reputable school that has upheld to its values and teaching excellence. I am here to present special awards to several students who not only put their lives on the line but, also helped our wizarding wold become a safer place for us and for our future generations. I'm sure Hogwarts is very proud of these students as is our wizarding community. I ask the following students to come up so that I may give them these awards." Then Kingsley waved his wand and a table with medals on ribbons appeared next to him. "The first awards are the Order of Merlin, 3rd class. These go to Mr. Dean Thomas, Ms. Luna Lovegood, Ms. Cho Chang, Mr. Ernie MacMillan, Ms. Susan Bones, and Ms. Hannah Abbott. I give them these awards for their services to the wizarding community." the four of them went up and bowed their head as Kingsley placed their medal on their over their head. They finally faced the crowd in a line and the audience applauded for them. After the applause died down, they sat down. "Next I have the awards of the Order of Merlin, 2nd Class. This is to the students who showed valor and bravery on behalf of our community. These awards go to Mr. Seamus Finnigan, Mr. Neville Longbottom, and Ms. Ginny Weasley." They also came up, got their medals and then sat down after the applause. "The next awards go to three very special students. They indeed confronted the darkest of wizards and literally put their lives in grave danger to save our world. I give them the Order of Merlin, 1st class for not only courage but for overal strength. These go to none other than Mr. Harry Potter, Mr. Ronald Weasley, and Ms. Hermione Granger". The three of them stood up and there was a loud thunder of applause around the Great Hall. Harry turned to look at McGonagall, and he saw he would never ever see a smile from McGonagall. He could see that her eyes were misty and that she too was very proud of him. The three some walked up and Kingsley put the medals over their heads and once more there were flashes of lightbulbs from the cameras. The reporters from the Daily Prophet and other newspapers from the UK were there with there quills writing away whatever was being said. Kingsley then rose his hands and the thunderous applause stopped. "Not only do we have these medals for them, but with the permission of Ms. McGonagall, our headmistress, she has allowed us to not only post up a plaque in their rememberance" Kingsley indicated to a wall on the side as a piece of cloth was taken off to reveal a golden plaque with their three names engraved on it and the day that the Second War ended. "but, there is also another one posted at the Ministry of Magic in their honor. Please, let's give them another round of applause" said Kingsley and there was a thunderous clamor of applause being heard throughout the Great Hall.
McGongall once more stood next to Minister Kingsley and said, "Thank you Minister. We are the ones here at Hogwarts that feel honored with your presence on this joyous occasion." she then turned to the three students and made three scrolls of parchment apparate and they were levitating in front of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Ms. Granger, congratulations and Hogwarts will be forever thankful for your services to the school" Harry, Ron, and Hermione reached out their hands and took their diplomas. Arthur and many more cameras snapped pictures of the three as they held up their diplomas. The other students preceded to get their diplomas and just as quickly as the graduation ceremony had started, it was over.
The eight friends were in the main entrance still in shock at what had just happened at kept looking at their graduation diplomas in their hands. Arthur, Molly, and the Grangers left after taking thousands more pictures of the 8 friends and then they left.
"Oh Harry" said Ginny as her voice broke and suddenly tears started to pour down her cheeks as Harry looked down at her and took her into his arms and wrapped her around with his Hogwarts robes.
"It's okay Gin, I know it's a shock for everybody here but, we will manage and we will look back at all of this as a wonderful and fond memory" said Harry as he caressed her soft red hair below her pointed hat.
"I think I need to go lie down, all of the sudden I'm not feeling so good" said Hermione and Ron followed her with concern for her.
"Seamus, I think I need to get some fresh air" said Luna to Seamus and he nodded in agreement.
"Wait up, Hannah and I will go with you two" said Neville, leaving Harry and Ginny alone in their own hug.
" 'Arry, Ginny, how are one of my favorite pairs doin'" said a familiar voice. Harry and Ginny turned around to see Rubeus Hagrid looking down at them.
"Oh Hagrid!" said Ginny and she threw herself at Hagrid and began to cry as Harry caressed her back as he too couldn't hold the tears back any longer for himself. Harry looked up at Hagrid and noticed that Hagrid's eyes were also misty.
"Not to worry 'Arry an' Ginny. You can come visit me here a' Hogwarts anytime you wan'" said Hargrid as he rubbed Ginny's back with his huge hand.
"Thanks Hagrid" said Harry as he wiped his tears with the sleeve of his Hogwarts robes.
"Well, I be'er be off. I will be needin' to prepare Hogwarts fer the new school year" he said.
"You know what Hagrid? You just reminded me of my first year here at Hogwarts. I remember how you had asked all the first years to follow you" said Harry with a thoughtful smile.
Hagrid nodded at his words, and turned around so Harry and Ginny wouldn't see him wipe his own tears as he went off to tend to his duties.
"Oh Harry, it's going to be so hard to leave Hogwarts." said Ginny as she put her face into his chest and let the tears roll down her face again.
Harry gently pulled her away from him, "Gin, it's hard for me too. All of this was my home for 7 years and now I have to leave it, with you and everyone else here." he said looking lovingly into her eyes, "Gin, why don't we go for a walk and sit down by the black lake in our spot, yeah?"
she nodded, Harry put his arm around her and they made their way to their spot under the willow tree on the other side of the Black Lake.
When they arrived at the willow tree, Harry leaned against the tree and he lay Ginny against his chest. They stood there silent, looking at the majestic view of the Hogwarts castle on the rocky cliff beyond the Black Lake. A few moments later they were met by their other 6 friends.
"There you are" said Ron as he and Hermione sat down.
"We were just sitting here looking at the castle. There are just so many memories" said Harry.
"Memories you say?" said Neville, who came up to them with Hannah in his arms. Seamus and Luna coming just behind them.
"Yeah, lots of memories. Remember our first year with that troll and it's bogeys on my wand and poor Hermione sat aside helpless. I guess you can say she was a damsel in distress" said Harry with a small smile.
"Eww, troll bogeys on your wand Harry?" asked Ginny making a face.
"Yeah love, I eventually wiped them clean on my robes." at the mention of this, she sat up and away from Harry and looking back at his robes.
"Gin, it's okay, I bought these robes this year remember love?" Ginny this time gave a sigh of relief at Harry's words and lay back against Harry's chest.
"Just... don't ever do that Harry. That's disgusting" said Ginny.
Harry smiled back down at her, "it was that or walk around with my wand full of troll bogeys" and he snickered.
"Ron came to the rescue because he levitated the bat that the giant had. Harry was being hung by one foot by the troll and believe it or not he was helpless" said Hermione.
"Yeah, I eventually let the bat fall on the troll's head and knocked it out" said Ron with a huge smile on his face.
"And you rescued me" and she leaned up to give Ron a tender kiss.
"Well, don't recall us being in love then though" said Ron looking down at her.
"Oh Ron, you are so silly sometimes" said Hermione as she sighed in frustration.
Neville smiled, "naturally the whole school found out." and he looked down at Hannah.
"I couldn't believe it that you had face a full grown mountain troll during your 1st year!" said Hannah still astounded.
"Then there were those awful pixies during our second year. I still have nightmares about getting levitated by pixies and not being able to get down" said Neville with a frown on his face.
"Oh poor baby" said Hannah and she gave Neville a quick kiss on his lips.
"What I dreaded the most were those charms and transfiguration classes with Flitwick and McGonagall. It was like my wand was resisting me or something" said Seamus nodding his head.
"Oh yes, wasn't there a time when you told me that you were trying to turn water into rum?" asked Luna thoughtfully.
Seamus nodded his head and chuckled, "yes love, instead of rum, I got an explosion" Seamus sighed.
"We should call you the explosion bloke" said Harry and he started to giggle.
Ginny smacked Harry's arm and he said, "Ow Gin! Be nice to your fiancé and be a lady"
"Nice going there Harry" said Ron in support and that earned him a slap on the back of his head by Hermione. He winced and then rubbed the back of his head.
"Ron, come now, explosions can be a serious matter" said Ginny looking at her brother.
"Exactly Ginny. Now you understand Ron" Hermione said as she looked back at Ron.
"Yeah, but stop smacking the back of my head. It hurts Hermione" said Ron still rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, then stop saying silly things Ronald Weasley!" said Hermione in a Mrs. Weasley tone and looking at Ron more seriously this time.
"I think you did a good job there handling my brother Hermione" and Ginny started to applaud.
"Why thanks Ginny." said Hermione smiling back at Ginny.
"Third year was a tough year for me though. I found the dearest person in my life, only to lose him later on" said Harry with a frown.
"Yeah, Sirius Black was a great bloke and he will always be remembered" frowned Ron.
"That reminds me when we were trying to listen on the Order of the Phoenix conversation. Not until Crookshanks thought that the ear was a toy on a string. Poor Crookshanks" said Ginny nodding in sorrow.
"Yeah, that cat was a menace, if it weren't for that cat, we would of being able to hear the whole thing" said Ron.
"Don't talk about Crookshanks that way. I love my cat. You better get used to him if you are marrying me Ronald Weasley" said Hermione looking at him with a cross look on her face.
Ron rolled his eyes, "Oh no, here we go again, the cat conversation thing" and then he sighed in frustration.
"Unfortunately most of the Order of the Phoenix died" said Luna, trying to change the conversation.
"Yes, even 12 Grimmauld Place must be in ruins now" said Harry with a sad look on his face.
"Yes, that is a shame" said Luna looking down at the ground she sat on.
"I think that one of the scariest moments for me was when Harry had to find the answers to the next challenge in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. They had said that it was dangerous and that he could die. I mean, Cedric Diggory died!" said Hermione.
"Yeah, that was in our 4th year. Merlin, now that I think about it, you were lucky Harry" said Seamus.
"To tell the truth, I didn't know if I was going to come out of it alive either" and Harry looked down at Ginny. She hugged him tight as if afraid to lose him.
"I would die if anything happened to you Harry" said Ginny, burrying her head in his chest again.
Neville was thinking, "Ginny, we even danced at the Yule Ball".
Ginny looked up from Harry's chest, "Oh yeah, but this year's was very special" and then she looked back at Harry and gave him a long tender kiss. Suddenly they heard some cat whistlling.
"What can I say, being Harry Potter has it's advantages" grinned Harry as he said it, and everybody started throwing grass at him. He tried to shield himself and Ginny from the grass that the others were throwing.
"Serves you right for being proud" said Hannah in a joking matter and then she giggled.
"During our 6th year, what actually had me surprised was how Harry all of the sudden was doing well in none other than potions in Snape's class" said Hermione pretending to look quizzically.
"Well, you can't always be the insufferable know-it-all" said Harry and Ron and Hermione this time wound up throwing grass at him this time.
"Hey, that's my fiancé you're talking about mate!" claimed Ron.
"Not my words mate, Snape's words" and then Harry froze. He realized that Snape had also given his life for others.
"I thought he was a bloody eater the entire time" said Neville, "And I didn't like him either. He was scary that one was"
"We all thought he was a death eater and a follower of the Dark Lord" said Luna.
"Yeah, but, during our 7th year, he true identity was revealed. He had risked more than most of us. He had infilatrated into the death eaters to keep us all safe. He wound up losing his life to Voldemort in the end" said Harry with a frown on his face.
"Yeah, and while we were hunting for those Horcruxes, that was scary too. All on our own and being on the run. I mean we couldn't even come back to Hogwarts" exclaimed Ron.
"Especially that locket, it was taking a toll on the three of us" said Hermione as she stared into blank space.
Ron looked down at Hermione and saw the look on her face, "Mione, I'm sorry that I left you all alone. I shouldn't of ever left. Though, I have to admit that you were in good hands" and then Ron smiled at Harry and Harry smiled back at him before looking down at Ginny.
"That's my Harry, 'The Chosen One', the one and only the Harry Potter" said Ginny and she giggle, this time everybody throwing grass at her.
"Hey, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here sitting at all, and in peace" Ginny said.
"That's true, it's possible that maybe none of us would be here today" said Luna and everyone stood quiet at the realization of Luna's thought.
The sun was now beginning to drop and the 8 friends got up and walked around the Black Lake to head back to the castle.
"Well, I guess it's time for dinner" Ron said as he heard his stomach growl.
"Oh Ron, must you really?" sighed Hermione in frustration.
"What? I'm hungry Mione" said Ron in defense.
The 8 friends finally reached the Great Hall and they ran into Malfoy and his gang, again.
"Well, well, what have we here... Potter and his no good of friends. You are all a disgrace to the wizarding community. Meddling and all with half-bloods and mud-bloods" snickered Malfoy.
Ron's fists tightened and he said through clenched teeth, "Malfoy, if I were you, I would watch my mouth"
"Feeling a little touchy there Weasley eh? You are nothing but betrayal to the wizarding community while meddling with them." Malfoy said furrowing his brow.
"Just leave him be Ron, he's not worth the trouble" Hermione said, trying to hold Ron back.
"Back off you filthy mud-blood, this is between Weasley and I" said Malfoy looking daggers at Hermione.
Out of the blue, Ron pulled out his arm and swung real hard at Malfoy, causing him to bleed through his nose. Malfoy pulled out his wand but, Ron was too quick for him and Ron non-verbally did the levicorpus charm.
"Put me down you wretched betrayer" Malfoy said as he wiggled himself in the air.
McGonagall saw what was happening from inside the Great Hall and walked out to see what was happening.
"Mr. Malfoy! Mr. Weasley! What on earth in going on here, might I ask?!" asked McGonagall with a very cross look.
"Malfoy here called Hermione a mud-blood" said Ron in defense.
"Mr. Malfoy, today was only just graduation day and you have to go on making trouble for yourself." McGonagall waved her wand and Malfoy levitated down onto the floor. McGonagall continued to speak, "I assure Mr. Malfoy that if I have one more incident out of you, I might just go back on my word about reconsidering to let you graduate from Hogwarts" and then McGonagall walked back inside into the Great Hall.
Malfoy and his gang snickered at the eight friends as he entered the Great Hall and went to sit down at the Slytherin table. The eight friends went in afterwards and they all decided to sit down together. McGonagall had allowed the 7th years to sit wherever they liked to.
"I think that the most frightening confrontation that I ever saw was the night that Voldemort asked Nagini to attack Snape. That was just an awful way to die." said Harry with a frown and he took a bite out of his food. Ron and Hermione also frowned at the thought.
Ginny gently squeezed Harry's hand, "Harry, anybody would think that something like that is awful. I on the other hand, just hate snakes. Unfortunately, I sometimes still nightmares about poisonous snakes and the Chamber of Secrets. I have been having those nightmares more frequently these days." and Harry put his arm around Ginny.
"I sometimes dream that we are still on the run or that we are looking for more horcruxes" said Ron with a sigh and Hermione put her head on his shoulder with a frown.
"Come now, let's not think of sad things. We have got to remember the good memories of our last year here at Hogwarts" said Seamus with his happy irish smile and then he continued to speak, "For example, we won all the quidditch matches and we won the Quidditch cup. Then there is also the house cup"
Neville sighed, "yeah, but there were also poisonings this year. Luna, Ginny, Hermione, Finch, and Hagrid to just name a few."
"Yes, but, we found a cure for them. They have an aviary now here at Hogwarts to keep all those phoenixes so in case students get poisoned, Madam Pomfrey can help them" mentioned Luna with her subtle calm voice.
With a thoughtful look on her face Hermione said, "true but, the matter of the fact is that we don't know how many more people might get poisoned."
Ginny leaned her head onto Harry's shoulder, "truth remains that we almost lost Hagrid and George. I thank Merlin for saving George's life. Merlin only know what I would be going through right now if he had died" and Ginny burried her face in Harry's chest as he held her.
"Got to admit that the parties were great" added Dean Thomas.
"Oh yeah, and the butterbeer and firewhiskey bottle incident in the Gryffindor house common room. I never thought that in a million years that would happen" said Neville.
Harry chuckled, "Yeah, I have to give credit to those who snuck it in. Though we have to thank Hermione for saving our skins from McGongall or we would have packed our bags and gone home without a diploma from Hogwarts".
"Say, why don't we go and play a match of quidditch at the quidditch pitch tomorrow. Two couples against the other two yeah?" asked Ron with a big smile on his face.
They all smiled and agreed. They continued to talk about their plans for their game and what to take for their lunch.
Hermione looked at her watch, "oh gosh, look at the time, and we are the only ones in the Great Hall."
The others looked around and then they said their farewells and went to their perspective towers.
When the foursome arrived at their tower, the couples went upstairs to their rooms to finish packing.
Harry was looking through the album that Hagrid had given him before his 1st year at Hogwarts. How he loved to look at the pictures of his parents together. They looked so happy and the appeared to have no worries in the pictures. Then there were pictures of his parents with him where he was a baby. Harry heard someone at the door at that moment and he looked up, it was Ginny.
She smiled from the doorway, "Are you all packed sir or are you procrastinating?"
Harry smiled back, still with his photo album still open, "I'm all finished actually. I was looking at these pictures. There's also pictures of you, Ron, and Hermione in here."
Ginny walked over and sat next to him on the bed and put her head against the backboard, "Really? Can I see them Harry?"
"Sure, look here's a picture of when I met you at Platform 9 3/4 for the first time." he smiled and kissed Ginny on her head.
"I wanted to come to Hogwarts so bad. I told mum to just put me on the train with Ron but, she told me that I was too young to go to Hogwarts. Who would of ever thought all those things that happened in the last few years would happen here at Hogwarts." and she leaned her head on to Harry's shoulder.
Harry put his arm around Ginny as he used his other hand to turn the pages, "Ron gave me this picture of your trip to Hogwarts. You look so cute here Gin"
She smiled up at him, "Thanks Harry" and then she went back to looking the pictures back in the photo album.
Then there was the picture of the two of them sitting under their favorite tree. Ginny didn't remember the picture, "Harry who took this picture of you and me? It's lovely" it was a picture of Harry leaning against the back of the willow tree and Ginny leaning against his chest. The picture was moving and he was kissing Ginny on her neck as she giggled at the feel of Harry's kiss.
Harry looked at the picture for a long time and then said, "Actually, it's one of the pictures that Colin Creevy took of us. It's nice isn't it?"
Ginny put her fingers over the picture, wishing she was there herself, "Harry, this is one of my favorite pictures. That was such a beautiful day. It was during your 6th year wasn't it?"
Harry nodded at Ginny, he put the album down and took her into his arms and then kissed her. He pulled away for a moment to put the picture album on the night stand and went back to snogging Ginny. He pulled her down and he lay her on the pillow. Their tongues began their delightful dance once more as Harry's hand found its way to her face. From there, his hand made a trail all they way down to her breast. He started to fondle it and he heard her moan in pleasure into his mouth. How he wanted to go the whole way. It had been a big day. Will all the packing and graduation they were all tired. Harry finally pulled away after a long time of kissing Ginny passionately and looked down at her beautiful face. He caressed it with the back of his hand and then let his fingers slide through the strands of her shiny and soft hair. He was so thankful to have the most beautiful witch in the wizarding world. It was one of the reasons he had decided to become an auror so he could protect his most valued treasure.
Harry smiled as he looked down at Ginny, "Ginny, I love you so much. I am so grateful for the day that you said that you would marry me. I don't know how I will ever manage when we go back to the burrow. I will have to find my place real soon so you can come stay with me, at least during the day so we could have some time alone."
"I love you too Harry Potter. I am also thankful to Merlin for you asking me to marry you. I never thought that I would ever find the right person to marry." and she leaned her head upwards to kiss Harry on the lips.
"Why don't we go to bed. It's been a long day and tomorrow we have a day filled with much fun playing the best game ever, quidditch!" said Harry the last word with enthusiasm.
"You're on Potter" said Ginny.
Harry looked down a Ginny with a huge grin, "you just wait until tomorrow Weasley" and he quickly kissed her on the lips before getting up to go change and brush his teeth.
Harry and Ginny were both fast asleep in a deep world of sleep. They had cuddled together and he was holding her tightly to him. Even unconsciously, he was afraid of losing the only person that was everything in the world to him. During the first part of the night, Ginny started to toss and turn in Harry's arms. She was having another night mare. Each night for the last week, she had been having a similar dream and it always took place in the Chamber of Secrets.
Tom Riddle looked at Harry with narrow eyes, "You can never stand up to me Potter. I'm the most powerful wizard in the world and you know that. Everybody fears me. I am Lord Voldemort!"
"You may be Lord Voldemort but, you are not the most powerful wizard in the world" shouted Harry. Harry quickly looked at the ground and there was Ginny, unconscious lying on the ground of the Chamber of Secrets. He then looked up at Voldemort and asked, "What have you done to her?!"
"Interesting what a book in the hands of a silly little girl can be. You see Potter, as she grows weaker, I grow stronger" said Tom Riddle. Tom Riddle suddenlty turned to the basilisk statue, said something in parseltongue and suddenly a basilisk had come out. In moments, Fawkes, the phoenix came and poked out the basilisk's eyes. "The basilisk may be blind but, it can still hear you" said Tom as the basilisk started to attack. Harry tried to take his wand out but, when he looked around, he found that Tom Riddle had his wand. He had no idea how Tom had gotten his wand.
Suddenly Ginny woke up and when she woke up, Nagini was right there in front of her, with it's head lingering over her. She looked through the corner of her eye to see where her wand was but, it was nowhere near her.
"Looking for this Weasley?" said Tom as he showed Ginny's wand in his hand to her. "If I were you, I would not move. You see Nagini can get easily agitated and she will also attack on command." and he gave an evil grin.
"Ginny! Don't move!" said Harry and the basilisk immediately came his way and he started to run away. He tripped and in front of him, on the ground appeared the sword of Gryffindor. He quickly grabbed it, got up and continued to run and this time he waved the sword to keep the basilisk from attacking him
At this point in her nightmare, Ginny was starting to moan in despair as she continued to toss and turn.
"Harry, please be careful!" said Ginny and the basilisk quickly turned in her direction. She now had both snakes against her. One in front of her and the other one coming towards her.
"Ginny, be quiet! The basilisk can hear you!" shouted Harry on purpose and he grabbed the back the basilisk's attention.
Ginny listened to Harry and she remained quiet, still sitting on the floor, trying not too move too much so Nagini wouldn't attack her.
Harry swung at the basilisk and put the sword right through it's head. As Harry did this, Tom shouted "NO!" in frustration.
When Harry pulled back, he found that a basilisk fang had pierced his right forearm. He got up to go and attack Nagini.
"Harry you're hurt!" exclaimed Ginny.
Harry saw the look of worry on her face, "I'm alright Ginny. Don't worry about me".
He looked and felt weak but, he had to go kill Nagini to save Ginny.
Suddenly, the basilisk poison had made Harry more weaker than he thought and he fell on the ground as Nagini approached him. Nagini was about to pierce its poisonous fangs...
"Nooooo! Not Harry! Leave him alone! Please Harry, don't die, I need you love" and Ginny started to cry into the night once more. This time she was also drenched in sweat. She woke Harry up and she unconsciously grabbed her wand in a split second and pointed it at Harry.
"Gin, it's okay. You had another nightmare. It's me Harry" said Harry with his hands up in the air.
Ginny squinted her eyes and tried to make out the figure in the middle of the night. It was Harry and she had come close to cursing him. "Harry! This time you had gotten poisoned by the basilisk and Nagini was about to attack you. I was going to attack the blasted snake. I was afraid that I was going to lose you. Please Harry, promise me that you will never leave me" said Ginny as she cried into Harry's arms. The two of them suddenly heard a knock at Harry's door.
"Is everything alright in there mate?" it was Ron who had come to see if everything was alright.
"Yeah, it's just Ginny. She had a nightmare but, she's fine now" said Harry.
"Oh alright, night mate. See you in the morning then" said Ron.
"Wow, Ron, that's the 7th nightmare in a row that Ginny has. Poor thing, that Chamber of Secrets incident really did it for her didn't it?" asked Hermione.
"I'm afraid so. You should of seen her when she got back from Hogwarts. She couldn't sleep and she would keep us all up throughout the whole night. If she slept, she had a nightmare. We tried giving her dreamless draughts but, her nightmares were too strong for the draughts." and Hermione nodded with a sad face.
Meanwhile, back in Harry's room, Harry was holding Ginny in his arms as she continued to cry in his chest. He could already feel that his shirt was very wet from her tears, "Shhh... there now Gin... I'm here... You see, I'm not dead" he said as he pulled away so Ginny could see him before taking her back into his arms. Ginny was holding on so tight to him that he could barely breathe.
"Oh Harry, it's just awful" said Ginny as her crying finally started to subside.
"It's okay Gin" Harry said and he lay her back down on the bed with him, still with his arms around her.
Later that night Harry also began to toss and turn in bed. Harry had thought that after killing Voldemort that his nightmares would come to an end but, he was wrong.
Voldemort sneered at Harry, "So what is it going to be this time Harry Potter?"
"There is nothing to say" answered Harry as he narrowed his look towards Voldemort.
"Well, you see, I have your beloved mother here on my right and the wench of a witch, what was her name..." said Voldemort trying to remember Ginny's name, "Ah yes, Ginny Weasley is her name here on my left"
Harry squeezed his hands into fists so tight that he could feel his knuckles go white, "Don't you dare talk in that way about Ginny" he said now with anger in his voice.
Suddenly Harry could see a red streak of light coming towards his direction and he reacted quickly enough to put up a protection charm on his self.
"Interesting Harry Potter", said Voldemort, "Your reflexes are just as fast as your father's. Pity you didn't see them the night he died."
"Don't you go talking about my father either" said Harry, now with clenched teeth.
"No don't Harry. Just take Ginny. I have already lived my life and you love her. She is the love of your life, I can see your love for her in your eyes" said a young Lily Potter.
"No, how could you ask me to choose between you and her mum?" said Harry, now with angry tears in his eyes.
"Harry, listen to me, I lived a happy life with your father. We gave up our lives so that you could live it with her" said Lily as she signaled over to Ginny.
Ginny didn't show any reactions, just that there were tears in her eyes and Harry could see that she was ready to die for him. He could see her love for him in her eyes.
"Well, since you can't decide, I'll start here with Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter" and Voldemort turned in Ginny's direction. He pointed his wand at Ginny and said "Avada Ked-"
Just then, Harry started screaming, "Noooooo, not Ginny. Leave her alone. Don't touch one hair on her! Noooooo!".
Harry woke Ginny up and then he opened his eyes up and tried to focus on the face in front of him, "Gin? Is that you? Are you alright?"
She smiled down at him, noticing once more that he was drenched in cold sweat, "Yes, I'm here and I'm alright Harry" and she caressed his cheek with her hand. He leaned his face towards her soft hand. Harry then put his hand on top of Ginny's hand. She smiled again at his hand over hers.
"Gin, I love you. You know that don't you?" he said looking up at Ginny.
"Yes, and I love you too Harry."
Harry brought Ginny down to his lips and kissed her passionately. He had kissed her differently from other times. There was something desperate about him. He was kissing as if though he were about to lose her any moment now. He supported himself on his elbow and his free hand found its way to Ginny's neck. His lips lingered over hers as he then used his tongue to open up her mouth and she submitted to him. She let his tongue dance with hers. Harry's hand moved to her shoulder and then it found its way to Ginny's breast. He then pinched and teased her nipple with his fingers, causing her to moan into his mouth. He fondled her smooth-skinned breast through her silk night shirt. Harry moved his hand down to her thigh and then shifted up her silk night shirt to gain full access to her breast. Ginny arched her back as Harry found her bare breast..
"Oh Harry, it feels so nice. Please, make love to me..." and Ginny continued to moan under Harry's touch.
"Anything for you love" said Harry and he put his mouth down to her breast.
Ginny moved her hand down to the now fully grown bulge in Harry's pajama pants and she started to slide her hand up and down Harry's shaft. Harry pulled away momentarily and took of his pajamas and Gin went back to squeezing and teasing Harry's shaft.
"Oh yes... just like that Gin... you just know how to do it" and he groaned as Ginny gradually squeezed her hand up towards the tip of his shaft.
Their mouths were now fully engulfed in each other. They were now showing the deep love that they had for each other. Harry's hand somehow made it down to Ginny's crevace and to his delight, he found out that Ginny once more was not wearing knickers.
"Ohhhh Harry!" moaned Ginny.
Harry positioned himself on top of Ginny and he inserted his shaft into Ginny's entrance.
"Oh yes... make love to me Harry... nice and hard" she said.
Harry started pumping hard into her. The slapping of the rhythm of their bodies continued for quite sometime as their hands caressed each other's bodies. Ginny's fingers grabbed hold of the sheets and her knuckles were now white from baring down the urge that was drawing near within her body. Ginny clamped her legs on Harry's lower back, causing him to insert his shaft even deeper within her.
"Oh Gin... yeah baby... oh yes..." groaned Harry as he too was coming close to his climax.
"Harder Harry!" screamed Ginny and Harry started to thrust even harder and faster into Ginny.
"Oh yes love, let's do it a little harder" he said while now panting.
"DEEPER HARRY!" Ginny begged Harry.
Harry groaned and moaned as he thrusted faster and deeper into Ginny. Suddenly he felt that he couldn't hold it any longer, "Gin, I'm going to explode, I'm going to have to come. I can't hold it any longer"
"I have to come as well, just let it go Harry" she said and after a couple of hard and fast thrusts from Harry they came as they called each other's names.
Harry lay back down on his pillow. Their bodies drenched in sweat after the fruits of their love had been spent.
"I love you Gin" said Harry as he got on his elbow to kiss Ginny between his pants of breathing.
"I love you to Harry" she said as she closed her eyes in efforts to normalize her breathing.
Harry took Ginny into his arms and drew her even closer into his arms. He kissed her head and neck. He held her tightly, he didn't want to let her go. She was his and nobody else's. They finally fell asleep and didn't have anymore nightmares that night.
o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o
The following morning, Harry and Ginny were sleeping, while still holding each other tightly in their arms. Once more, Harry woke up with the light that shined through the window in his room. He carefully reached for his glasses that lay on the night table. He did it as carefully as possible so as not to wake Ginny up. He put his glasses on and then he looked down at Ginny who was sleeping on his chest. He discreetly grabbed a small strand of her soft red hair and started to play with it, carefully so as to not wake Ginny up. The picture album beyond her shoulder caught his attention. They were going to play quidditch later that day with some of their friends and he had an idea. An idea where he could make new memories where, within time they could become old and cherished memories. Harry waved his hand and he conjured a camera at the foot of his big comfortable bed. He wanted to remember the last of his special memories and Hogwarts, his home, before he left. Just then, he heard Ginny wake up.
"Morning sleeping beauty. We better take a shower so we can go get some breakfast and then we can go meet the others for a game of quidditch" he said smiling as Ginny yawned and strategically placed her arms around his neck and pulled herself up to him and started to kiss him passionately on the lips.
She smiled when she pulled away, "Couldn't we just stay in bed all day, eat in bed and watch some telly?"
"Well, I have a camera right there" he signaled to her, "I was hoping I could take some last minute pictures of us here at Hogwarts so we can put them in the picture album."
She smiled and gave him another passionate kiss before pulling away, "I want more special pictures like the one under the willow."
"I'm sure we can get someone to help us" and he leaned his head up to kiss her before saying, "why don't we take a shower together, yeah?"
Ginny's eyes opened wide and she nodded her head up and down excitedly. He pulled them up and they headed into the bathroom. Harry turned on the water and then helped Ginny step into the warm water of the shower. They let the warm water trickle down their bodies. Harry got the soap and started to wash Ginny's neck and shoulders. Soon enough he started to lather some soap and put his hands on Ginny's back. He started to get turned on by Ginny's wet back and he leaned down to kiss Ginny's neck. His kisses gradually changed and he began to suckle the water droplets off of Ginny's neck, causing her to sigh in pleasure. Harry lathered his hands with soap once more and this time he let his hands wander directly to her taut breasts. Her nipples grew harder with every touch of his hands. He fondled and massaged her, causing her to moan as her head fell back against his shoulder, allowing her to arch her back towards his hands. His delicious hands squeezed her even harder, making her moan louder in the shower. One of his hands made their way to her mound of red curls and there he began to play and tease her. Ginny moved more towards Harry until she pushed him against the wall of the shower, allowing her to feel his strong body. Her right hand started to wonder up his thigh until it moved to the center and found his shaft.
"Oooh, Gin, you know what will happen if you do that" he said between kisses.
"That's entirely the purpose Harry" and she sighed in pleasure as Harry inserted his fingers inside her.
"You are truly asking for it Weasley" said Harry as he began to moan with Ginny's agile moves on his shaft. Harry couldn't resist her hand anymore and he wound up pulling away from Ginny's neck and had to rest his head against the wall as he felt shudders and orgasms run through his body. All the while, he kept inserting and taking out his fingers of Ginny's entrance.
"Mmmm, yes Harry, keep moving your delicious fingers" and she bit the bottom of her lip.
Harry turned Ginny around and his lips found her lips. He began to kiss her in the usual heated fashion. His mouth again found her tongue there they stood pleasing each other as their hands lingered along their bodies. Harry's hands made their way eventually to Ginny's bum and squeezed it.
Ginny smiled, "Potter, so now you want play with my bum, don't you?"
Harry had a huge grin on his face and all of the sudden he pulled Ginny up by her bum, allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist. Harry now turned around to put Ginny against the shower wall continued to kiss her hard on the lips. Ginny raked her fingers up and down Harry's back, feeling the strong muscles that he had developed during the long hours and many practices of quidditch during the quidditch season. The way his muscles moved and contracted as he held her against the walk turned her on even more.
"Oh Harry, you feel so good" remarked Ginny.
Harry grinned and looked down at Ginny, "Ah ha, so you want to feel good don't you?" and Harry suddenly inserted his shaft into Ginny and she gasped in surprise before moaning into his mouth.
"Uh, uh, uh... this does feel GOOD!" she said as she moaned loudly.
"You are amazing Gin... I love you... I could never live without you..." and Harry continued pumping harder and faster into Ginny. His sensations were now driving him over the edge, urging him to thrust as hard and as fast as his body could allow.
"Harder Harry! Put it in there!" screamed out Ginny in a plea to him.
"I'm... going... as hard... and fast... as... I can... Gin" said Harry now panting real hard.
"Oh yeah! Just like that... oh, oh, oh... go for it Harry... come if you need to..." she said also in between pants now.
Harry was close to exploding and it caused him to thrust harder than he had before, to a point where he thought he was hurting Ginny. The two of them finally came with a loud moan coming from both their mouths and it echoed in the bathroom. When their excitement and love was spent, they were so tired that they both slid down to the shower floor. Harry put his back against the wall and Ginny against his chest and they two of them tried to catch their breath again.
Ginny giggled tiredly, "I guess we have already warmed up for the quidditch game with our friends this morning."
Harry grinned at the thought, "Warm up indeed. I think you are going to ware me out long before we get married Gin. Especially if you are showing off your back they way you did just now in the shower.
Ginny sighed trying to catch her breath, "Sorry love, I can't do anything if you feel attracted to my back."
When their breathing finally normalized, the two of them got up, finished showering, got out, dried themselves, and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
At the bottom of the moving staircases, Harry and Ginny ran into their 6 other friends. They were excited about playing quidditch and having fun day.
"Well, what have you got there Harry?" said Seamus looking at Harry carrying a pouch.
Harry smiled down at Ginny and then looked back at Seamus, "I have a camera here. I was hoping we could get some pictures today of us. You know... to remember one of our last days here at Hogwarts."
Neville's smile grew bigger, "That's a great idea Harry! When do we start?" he asked anxiously.
"Well, why don't we get some breakfast and then we can head off, take some pictures and then go off and play quidditch. We can summon our brooms from the quidditch pitch and take pictures of the game" and they all nodded in agreement. Just as they were about to enter the Great Hall, they saw another streak of lighting hit another student nearby. Harry nodded to Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. They four of them knew what to do while Seamus and Neville ran along with Harry to follow the caped master. Ginny, Hermione, and the other girls remained behind to levitate the 7th year student to the hospital wing while Ron ran to McGonagall's office to report the incident.
Once inside McGonagall's office, Ron walked up quickly to McGonagall's desk.
"Professor, we thought that with the end of the school year, everything would be fine but, there has just been another poisoning incident just outside the Great Hall" said Ron while still trying to catch his breath.
"Mr. Weasley, will you please try to calm down, I can hardly understand what you are trying to say" she said as she stood up from her desk.
"There's been another poisoning professor" repeated Ron.
"Oh Merlin's beard! Not another one. I will go to the hospital wing at once. But first Mr. Weasley, did you see anybody do it?" she asked with a piercing look at Ron.
"No professor. I was talking with my friends and when we turned around the yellow streak of light had already hit the student. We just saw the flash from the corner of our eyes" said Ron still trying to catch his breath.
"Very well, thank you Mr. Weasley. You may go back to join your friends at the Great Hall for breakfast." and she led Ron out of her office.
Ron headed back to the Great Hall and found the rest of his friends there. The 8 of them walked into the Great Hall, sat down together and began to eat their breakfasts.
"That was just awful" said Hermione, looking at Ron and then at her 7 friends.
Ron looked back at Hermione, "Who on earth would continue poisoning students even up to the last few days here at Hogwarts?"
Luna looked up from her breakfast, "the only thing is that these poisonings have also gone beyond the Hogwarts grounds. If that has happened, it is very likely that it will happen again, at least until they catch the caped master."
Harry took a sip of his orange juice and then spoke, "That is one of the main reasons I want to become an auror, to help keep our wizarding world safe and most of all, Ginny here" and he looked down at Ginny with loving eyes before putting his arm around her.
When they were finished with their breakfast, they headed down to the black lake and sat under the willow tree. When they got settled, they took pictures of each couple, of the group, setting up the timer of course, pictures of the girls and the blokes. There were pictures of the Golden Quartet and the famous trio, who were Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Harry and Ginny walked away from the group to a secluded area on the edge of the black lake to steal a few moments alone. There Harry held her in his arms. His hands caressed the small of her back and she put her arms around his neck, starting to play with the hairs at the nape of his neck. They looked lovingly into each other's eyes for what seemed a long time. No kissing, just looking at each other, sending each other much love through their piercing eyes. After a loving look between each other, Harry brought his lips gently down on hers and kissed her in a very gentle yet loving way. He hands traveled up and down her back. Ginny then put her hands on Harry's cheeks and gave him playful pecks, making him smile down at her. She then put her head on his shoulder and he began to caress the soft red hair on her back as the two of them looked out at the black lake and beyond at Hogwarts for what could be the last time. After they stood there for a while in each other's company, they headed back to be with their friends.
"There you are! We were wondering where you were" said Hermione winking at them. Harry and Ginny looked at each other with a questioning look on their faces, shrugged, and dismissed it.
The eight friends sat down on the grass next to the edge of the black lake and they ate some sandwhiches, fruite and pumpkin juice that the castle elves had packed for them.
Just then, Harry caught Ron feeding a piece of strawberry to Hermione and he quickly took a picture to capture the moment. They were so engulfed with themselves, that they didn't even see the flash on the camera go off.
Hermione smiled and wiped her lips with her tongue, "Mmm, that was yummy Ron" and she gave him a long passionate kiss in response. Harry got another picture as everybody catwhistled at them and they made Ron and Hermione laugh after they pulled away from their kiss.
"So, whose up for a game of quidditch?" asked Ron, trying to change the subject and the all responded in unison, "me" and they all raised their hands. They all laughed at the action. When they were spent of their good laughs, the picked up the blankets and baskets and levitated them to the castle kitchens.
They all summoned their brooms. The girls hopped on the brooms with their respective boyfriends and/or fiancés, held on tight to them and flew to the quidditch pitch. When they arrived, the quidditch chest was already there. Harry had already previously made arrangements with Madam Hooch to borrow the chest for one last recreational game.
Harry, Ginny, Neville, and Hannah played on one team while Ron, Hermione, Seamus, and Luna played on the other team. They played for several hours. The girls eventually got tired and gave in, letting the boys play the rest of the afternoon. Ginny took the camera that Harry had conjured and took pictures of the blokes throwing the quaffle through the hoops and trying to catch the snitch. Harry and Neville obviously won after Harry caught the snitch. The eight of them took more pictures of themselves with their brooms or flying on their brooms just for fun. The eight of them made their way back to the Great Hall for dinner.
"That was a fun day wasn't it?" said Hannah as she looked up at Neville and then at the rest of the group.
Seamus smiled, "Yeah, it was fun. It's a shame that we are already leaving on Monday. We will have to take more pictures at the Hogsmeade station before we get on the Hogwarts Express"
Luna responded, "That's a great idea Seamus. We can take more pictures. I guess we can get there early before everyone else. We can even take pictures on the carriages being pulled by the thestrals"
Hermione smiled, "That sounds like a wonderful idea to get a few last minute mementos before leaving Hogwarts." she then turned to Harry, "Does that sound like a good idea to you Harry?"
Harry was oblivious to the conversation that his friends were having. He was lost in a world of thought. He was growing nervous as the time to leave Hogwarts drew near. He nervously put his fingers through his messy hair. It was even more messy now that they had done flying on their brooms. Ginny saw the nervous look on his face and she gently squeezed his hand on the table. Harry felt Ginny's soft hand on his and reacted to her touch.
Ginny repeated the question for him, "What do you think Harry, would you like to take some pictures on the carriages pushed by the thestrals and some at the Hogsmeade train station?"
Harry looked down at Ginny with a warm smile, "That sounds like a wonderful idea. I want to get as many memories as possible of our time here at Hogwarts."
"Alright then. Well, we have to wear our Hogwarts uniforms and robes so it's going to be perfect." said Hermione with a smile before taking a drink of her pumpkin juice.
The eight friends finished their dinners and headed to their perspective common rooms. The Golden Quartet headed back to the head student tower. Ron and Hermione sat in a couch across from the couch that Harry and Ginny sat in.
"Well, today was definitely a great day. I wish we could of had more days like today. Despite the poisoning incident this morning. Poor bloke, I think I heard McGonagall say that since Hogwarts will be closed for the Summer, they are going to transfer him to St. Mungo's. What a way to start his Summer holiday."
Harry lay down on the couch and hugged Ginny close to him and then spoke, "like all the other poisonings, I hope he'll be alright with the phoenix tear potion. I just hope we can find out what will happen when we start the investigation with the Auror Department" said Harry as he started to play with Ginny's soft red hair.
Hermione leaned her head on Ron's shoulder and put her hand through Ron's arm, "Maybe my joining Ministry's Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures can help us find more remedies in unison with Neville who knows a lot about Herbology and Potions." and she covered her yawning mouth with her hand.
Ron looked pensive for a minute and then spoke, "That sounds like a good idea. We can talk to Kingsley when we start training at the Ministry of Magic to discuss other possible cures. Maybe even better and more effective ones than the phoenix tear potion. Maybe even ones that would compliment it and bring the poisoned people out of the coma sooner. I mean, look at poor Ginny. She was out for a while" said Ron nodding his head in Ginny's direction.
Harry looked down at Ginny and she was fast asleep in Harry's arms. Harry held her closer and kissed her head. Harry continued to speak to Ron, "You're right Ron, if we can reduce the coma time, there would be less people staying at St. Mungo's take the student for example. For now, we have to see who is this caped master. We should take into consideration that this so called caped master is definitely an enemy to the wizarding world. We cannot eliminate the fact that he or she must have been or must continue to be a surviving death eater of Voldemort's".
Ron looked back at Harry after giving the subject some more thought, "I'm sure Hermione can also help us in the investigation, in some ways. After all, she will be working at the Ministry. Well, as long as we don't break the confidentiality rules that is" he said and he looked down at Hermione who was also fast asleep on his shoulder.
Harry looked from Hermione to Ginny, "I think we need to get our fiancés to bed. It seems that their bodies have already given up after a long day of fun." and he smiled at Ron.
Ron smiled back, "Looks like we'll have to do the lifting this time mate" said Ron as he carefully picked up Hermione and took her into his arms. Harry did the same with Ginny and the two friends carried their fiancés to their rooms.
"Night Harry" yawned Ron.
"Night Ron" and Harry walked into Ginny's room, which was the closest to the stairs.
In Ginny's room, Harry conjured up some silk pajamas for Ginny. He just loved it the way Ginny looked in silk pajamas. Besides, he also conjured some silk pajamas for her so she could be more comfortable. He then brushed his teeth, put on his own pajamas and got into bed next to Ginny. He took her close to him and she instinctively cuddled closer into Harry's arms. That night there were no nightmares but, the comforts of each other's arms.
o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o
Harry woke up with Ginny cuddled next to him. He breathed in the scent of wildflowers from her flaming red hair. Merlin only knew how much he was going to miss waking up with Ginny at his side when they got back to the Burrow. They might be able to sneak a couple of mornings but they were going to have to be cautious. He caressed her beautiful soft red hair. He felt Ginny stir next to him. The curtains around the four poster bed were still closed. He could see that some of the sun rays were sneaking through the curtains.
"Good mornig beautiful" he said and he smiled down at Ginny.
"Good morning handsome" and she cuddled in closer to him.
"Gin, if you get any closer, you know what's going to happen don't you?" he said, already feeling his shaft beginning to grow at the feel of Ginny's body next to him.
"What ever do you mean Harry?" said Ginny sounding innocent as she started to rub her bum against his shaft while pretending to stretch.
"Weasley, you are playing with fire. Beware, I will not be held responsible for my actions" he said with a big grin looking down at her.
"Potter, I think what you need is a nice cold shower" said Ginny and she got up and stretched once more. She walked over to her trunk and took out a sun dress and some flats. She went into the bathroom and a few minutes later Harry heard the shower running. Harry got up and walked into the bathroom. He stood by the door and admired the sight of his fiancé as she washed her hair. The curves of her bum and breasts made his shaft grow again. He couldn't resist anymore and he put his hands at the small of her back as he began to kiss her neck. Ginny gasped in surprise and then moaned at the touch of Harry's strong hands on her body. He suddenly turned her around, pinned her to the shower, put her legs around his waist and started to thrust hard and fast into Ginny. Within minutes, he had Ginny moaning and groaning.
"Potter... what... do you... think... you are... doing... in here?...Who said... you could... come in... here?" said Ginny as she squeezed Harry's bum toward's her. Making him thrust even deeper into her.
"Uh, uh, uh, ... who said... you could... squeeze... my... oh, oh... bum Weasley?" said Harry in between hard pumps. "I told you that... I wouldn't... be held... responsible for... uh, uh... my actions" and he thrust even faster, making Ginny's back slap onto the shower wall.
"You animal you!" and she moaned louder as he thrust even deeper into her.
"You looked to sexy in the shower... mmm... oh yeah... you sexy witch you..." said Harry as he felt orgasms through his body.
"You are the... hotest...wizard ever... ooooh... uh, uh, UH!" said Ginny with shivers of orgasms also going through her body.
Harry thrust into Ginny a couple more times and the two of them exploded into each other's arms before collapsing on the shower floor. They finished taking their shower and headed down to the common room where they saw Ron and Hermione snogging.
"Oh yes... you hot stuff" said Hermione as Ron was suckling at Hermione's neck.
"You like that? Hmmm... you little sexy witchling?" said Ron as his hands squeezed Hermione's bum against his body, causing her to feel his already grown shaft.
Ginny gasped at the sight and she turned around to hide her face into Harry's chest as he himself turned away from the sight of his two best friends and cleared his throat loud enough for them to hear.
Ron and Hermione both jumped and quickly pulled away as Hermione adjusted her hair and shirt.
"Is it safe to turn around?" asked Ginny with a muffled voice since she still had her face in Harry's chest.
Harry smiled and patted her back, "Yeah, it's alright to turn around Gin".
Ginny pulled her face away from Harry's chest and turned around to look at Ron and Hermione, "I didn't know you were quite the snogger there Ron" said Ginny still with a surprised look on her face.
"Yeah, well..." laughed Ron nervously and he put his arm around Hermione's waist.
"Ready to go down to breakfast?" asked Harry.
"Yeah, and then we can all go for a walk in Hogsmeade" said Hermione with a big smile on her face.
Ginny's smile grew bigger, "That's a great idea!"
The Golden Quartet ate their breakfast and then walked around Hogsmeade, ate lunch and then went back to the castle in time for dinner. They walked into the Great Hall and McGonagall prepared to make her last speech to the 7th year students.
