Chapter 14: Lavender Brown
Harry spent the next few hours continuing his research and at the same time, trying to put together a foolproof plan to bring Hermione and Ginny to eventual justice. Soon it was lunchtime, so Harry went to his dining room, where his house elves brought him his lunch. Once he finished eating, Harry went to the living room to relax in an armchair and continue thinking over his plans for Hermione and Ginny. Approximately ten minutes later, the fireplace activating snapped Harry back into reality. He got up to investigate and saw the face in the fire belonging to Lavender Brown (one of his fellow Gryffindor lions in his year).
"Hello, Lavender!" Harry greeted. "How's your summer going?"
"So far, it's good," said Lavender, breathing a sigh of relief. "Now that that evil toad is gone! Are you busy?"
"Not at all," stated Harry. "May I ask why?"
"I've got something to tell you," Lavender informed him. "And I feel that it should be done in person."
Harry nodded his head in acknowledgement, so he stepped back from the fireplace. It deactivated and it was a minute or so later when it reactivated. Lavender stepped out of the emerald-green flames and into the living room, with the flames dissipating moments later. Lavender was wearing a magenta short-sleeve blouse, a pair of white short-shorts and blue flip-flops. Her chest-length brown hair was wavy, her sapphire-blue eyes looking like they were shining, and her legs sure were nice-looking. Harry quickly snapped out of his beguiled state and gave Lavender eye contact to see what she had to tell him.
"I'm surprised you're willing to inform me of something," Harry told Lavender. "I've heard half of the student population at our school mentioning something about you being the gossip queen."
"Well, that may be true, Harry," Lavender admitted before giving him more information. "But I only gossip out of retaliation, particularly in cases where someone tries to spread rumours about me. If they try, I have clever ways to turn the tables on said person."
"Talk about giving someone a little bit of comeuppance," Harry responded in an amused voice. "Something I'd like to see happen to Granger and Ginevra."
"I happened to cross paths with Cho earlier and we had some ice cream at Florean Fortescue's," Lavender informed Harry. "And she told me about making love to you and how she revealed to you what all Granger and that crazy Ginevra did to Cho's friend, Marietta."
"Yeah, I never knew what Granger and Ginevra had been planning until Cho told me," said Harry. "I also came to the conclusion that they're planning to commit more serious crimes."
"I also happened to hear some of their plans myself and told Cho about it," Lavender revealed. "It was like two or three days before the school year ended when that occurred. I was already getting up and when I heard Granger and Ginevra talking while they were on their back to mine and Granger's dormitory, I spelled my curtains shut and added another charm to ensure that Granger and Ginevra wouldn't find out that someone was eavesdropping on them."
"What else did Granger and Ginevra plan?" asked Harry as he got an itchy feeling.
"Well, it does involve what Marietta experienced," Lavender informed Harry. "But much worse. It would involve you, me and the rest of Dumbledore's Army and anyone truly on your side. Part of the plan would have Granger and Ginevra tricking many of us into signing some kind of contract that could only be read by Granger and Ginevra, to keep our mouths shut about their crimes. Anybody who 'ratted' on Granger and Ginevra would trigger a jinx placed on the parchment that would cause a bloated feeling in the victims' stomachs. Then the bloating would eventually make the victims puke up some kind of green fluid, which would give Granger and Ginevra enough time to drag the victim over to an empty classroom and pound them good for treachery."
"Merlin!" Harry exclaimed.
"But there's more!" Lavender went on. "Granger and Ginevra also started bragging to each other about having brewed up about something called the Forever After Potion."
"Is that like Amortentia?" asked Harry.
"This potion is much more powerful than Amortentia," Lavender revealed. "The power of mind-altering potions, such as love potions are divided into classifications with grades ranging from A, B, C, D to E. Grade E potions are the least powerful while Grade A potions are the most powerful, and the most dangerous ones to ever brew. The Forever After Potion is a Grade A love potion, so powerful that it is virtually irresistible. Meaning that nobody can resist it's effects. What makes it worse is that those who drink the Forever After Potion will not only be permanently infatuated with the giver of the potion, but the insides of the victims' mouths will also be dyed blue with no way to get rid of it."
"Oh my goodness!" Harry exclaimed again, putting a hand over his mouth in sheer horror.
"Luckily Grade A potions are exceptionally difficult to disguise or hide," assured Lavender. "The Forever After Potion is blue and opaque, which means that if someone tried to sneak it into someones' drinks, the liquid will turn blue because of the potion coming with blue-coloured dye, which also explains the inside of victims' mouths being dyed blue. The blue dye has been mentioned to have a bitter taste. Granger even planned to give one keyed to her to Ron, with Ginevra planning on giving you one keyed to her. Anyone who is found guilty of brewing Grade A potions are automatically given a minimum of 30 years in Azkaban, given the nature of such a potion. If the culprits are also found guilty of succeeding in sneaking it into victims, they will also automatically have their sentence in Azkaban doubled."
"Do Granger and Ginevra have anyone helping them, such as acting as lookouts or something?" asked Harry.
"That they didn't mention, but it's quite possible," said Lavender. "And if that's true, I don't know how many are in on their plan."
"Maybe we should do something to distract ourselves," stated Harry. "If I have to keep thinking about Granger and Ginevra's plan, I'm just gonna eventually go ballistic."
"You're right, Harry, I'd react the same way, too." Lavender agreed. "Maybe I can make love to you as a way of saying thank you for the lessons you provided that Umbitch flat-out refused to teach."
"And my way returning the favour for all the information you gave me, too." Harry reminded Lavender. "It's kind of like we're returning each others' favours."
Lavender blushed when Harry said that, then she suggested that they do their sexual intercourse in the hot tub. Harry nodded his head in agreement and left for his room to change into his swimming trunks. Once he finished changing, he left his room and headed for the backyard. When Harry entered the hot tub, he made sure to face the back door. Moments later, Lavender walked out in a pink bikini with white polka-dots. After casting the anti-pregnancy charm on herself, Lavender started walking into the hot tub slowly and erotically. Harry could feel his member stiffening as he continued watching Lavender. Then she sat down on Harry's lap on her knees and began rubbing his thighs, making his body react as they began kissing.
"You like that rubbing?' asked Lavender while grinning.
"Uh huh!" Harry responded, breathing in excitement.
"Now it's your turn to rub my legs!" Lavender informed him.
So Harry placed his hands on both on both of Lavender's legs and began rubbing them in a similar manner as Lavender did to him before they continued kissing. Lavender felt her clitoris reacting and thought she could feel her bikini bottom getting soaked in the fluid. Since they were in the hot tub, it didn't matter. Then Lavender started rubbing Harry's torso just as Harry's hands found Lavender's smooth bottom, and began rubbing both cheeks in circular motions. Lavender moaned with pleasure as that happened, and even more so when Harry occasionally squeezed both of her butt cheeks. Lavender also started rubbing Harry's thighs again, making his manhood stiffen more. After thirty minutes, Harry and Lavender stopped their sexual intercourse. Lavender started resting her head on Harry's chest with her arms wrapped around his waist, while he began running his fingers through her hair.
"That was fun, wasn't it, Harry?!" asked Lavender as she smiled at him.
"Yeah, very much so!" Harry replied ecstatically.
"Well, it's time I get dressed back up and go to the Patils' house," Lavender told Harry. "Parvati invited me over and I must head home first to get ready."
"Alright," said Harry. "Take care, Lavender."
"You too, Harry." said Lavender.
She got out of the hot tub, grabbed her towel from on top of a lawn chair and started drying herself off before walking back inside to change back into her everyday wear. Harry did the same and once he returned to the living room, Lavender waved goodbye before grabbing a handful of floo powder, tossing it into the fireplace, calling out her destination and stepping into the emerald-green flames. Several minutes after the emerald-green flames dissipated, Harry spotted a ministry owl tapping on a living room window. So Harry opened the window to the owl fly in. It dropped a letter on the coffee table before Harry gave it some owl treats, then the owl took off into the skies. Harry unfolded the letter, which said:
Harry,
Just to give you a heads up, your godfather's trial will be on the 6th at 9:30 AM.
Yours Sincerely,
Amelia Bones
Head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Bones
Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement
"Yesssss!" Harry responded in a triumphant voice. Then he began telling himself, "Fred, George and Lee will be excited to meet two of the marauders on the day of the grand opening of Weasley Wizard Wheezes."
Harry sat down on an armchair to rest up some before continuing his research. He still had quite a ways to go before the cure for Lycanthropy was finally developed, but if he was lucky, the more powerful Wolfsbane Potion will be developed soon and make it easier for Professor Lupin on nights when the full moon was out.
To be continued!
