Chapter 22

Dates and Lakes

Harry

With the next task not until near the end of February which while they still hadn't managed to figure out the egg clue which only screeched super loudly when opened, he felt like they still had plenty of time and he had total confidence Susan with or without their help would figure it out.

He was however grateful that he didn't have to be in the Tournament, after seeing what Susan and the other champions had gone through with the dragons he was glad to have decided to sit it out.

Yet there turned out to be another aspect to the Tournament that he did need to participate in.

Dumbledore got up a week or so after the First Task to announce, "as part of tradition for the Triwizard Tournament, there is also a Yule Ball where students 4th year and up will be allowed to find dates and go to a dance."

Immediately there were quite a few excited squeals of delight from the girls and groans from the boys.

Harry however just grinned as he was now looking forward to a great evening with his 2 fiancees and 2 girlfriends.

"This is going to be great!" Susan praised eagerly, clearly looking forward to it.

"Yeah, it should be a lot of fun," He agreed, "I'm assuming that I can ask all 4 of you to go with me?"

"Of course Harry," Padma said, "what do you think we wouldn't?"

"I just figured I should at least ask each of you," Harry told them all, "I must say I would consider myself to be the luckiest guy ever to go with the 4 most beautiful, smartest, and best girls in the whole world to go with me to the Yule Ball."

All 4 of the girls blushed as Daphne said, "I do appreciate the flattery."

"Although unnecessary to ask us it is appreciated and of course we all want to go with you," Susan told him, "from what I've read about the history of the tournament though it is customary that the champions and their dates dance the first song so I hope none of you mind me getting the first dance."

"Not a problem, I call dibs on him 2nd," Padma called out.

"I've got him 3rd," Hermione said.

"Then after you girls have had your fun dancing with him, I'm calling dibs on Harry himself for some fun of my own," Daphne said, giving him a wink.

Harry grinned at such a proposal as he asked her, "you mean like some of this?"

He reached his hand over and grasped Daphne's very nice left boob.

Daphne grinned back and said, "yes, like some of that."

His and Daphne's relationship which was usually more physical than the other girls, had recently progressed to feeling each other's entire bodies up over their clothing, including Daphne's very nice breasts that he found he was quite enjoying.

Fortunately none of the other girls seemed to mind him doing so in front of them however but he also hadn't pushed them in case they weren't ready for that. They would let him know he reasoned and he knew that they were talking about it amongst themselves.

"I don't know what I'm going to wear to the Yule Ball though," Padma admitted, "I really don't have anything super fancy."

"Just go naked, I'm sure Harry here wouldn't mind," Daphne suggested.

"I'm sure he would, but I'm confident a lot of other people there would be quite upset if I tried to go naked," Padma countered.

"We'll just have to go shopping for new dresses," Hermione replied.

"Ooh that sounds like fun!" Susan said, "I already had some nice dresses but I'm not sure they would still fit me."

Susan blushed and pointed to her huge bosom which had clearly gone through a recent growth spurt.

"I'm sure we can find a dress to show these huge babies off," Daphne replied, deciding to give Susan's breasts a quick squeeze.

"No fair," Harry complained about Daphne getting to do that instead of him.

Susan grinned and asked, "you want to feel them too Harry?"

"Obviously," He told her, having been tempted to feel his very well endowed fiancee's bosom countless times by now but of course always resisting.

Susan just grinned wider and asked, "so what is stopping you then?"

Harry could hardly believe his luck as he inquired back, "are you sure?"

Susan admitted, "well I've been thinking about it and I figure I love you and I'm betrothed to you now so I feel like now is the time I'm ready for our relationship to get more physical."

He couldn't help but grin back and say, "oh, I'm definitely okay with that."

For now he opted to just give Susan's breasts a nice quick squeeze, as they were still in a public area. He would enjoy them more fully later.

While he had been enjoying Daphne's very nice breasts, which were actually a bit larger than the average girl their age, Susan's chest was clearly in a different league in size, the biggest in their year and probably the year above them as well.

Yet he also appreciated that this was all a big moment and step for Susan in their relationship and so he tried to understand it from her perspective, as she really wanted her fiance to enjoy her body and have that level of physical intimacy between them.

He looked at Susan's breasts, deciding to admire them for a moment as he remarked, "they really are incredible Susan."

She smiled and said, "thanks Harry I'm glad that you like them."

He then looked at each of the girls and said, "honestly I don't know how I got so lucky with all 4 of you incredibly beautiful girls."

His other fiancee and 2 girlfriends were more average in breast size, but that didn't really matter to him as they were no less beautiful. Still he hadn't meant just their chests when talking about how beautiful he found them. Each of them was quite different in appearance, but still equally very attractive to him.

"Thanks Harry," Padma said, seeming to know what he meant, "I'll let you know when I want our relationship to be more physical as well."

"Me too," Hermione answered, "I grew up with a more conservative background then the rest of you girls but I will admit I have been wanting that kind of relationship with you more and more."

"I'll leave that up to you," He told them, "I'm not going to push you and I'm quite happy to be patient with you, no need to feel pressured or rushed."

"I definitely wouldn't want to make you feel that way," Susan agreed looking at both Hermione and Padma.

"Oh no I definitely don't feel that you are," Hermione answered, "feel free to do what you want, I'm not bothered by it."

"It kind of turns me on to be honest," Daphne answered, "I've been trying to use my bond to Harry lately to try and feel what he is feeling when he kisses you girls and it's been quite...enjoyable."

"We don't need to know the details," Hermione said, "but it is interesting that you are able to do that."

"I think it might make me bisexual if I keep at it though," Daphne argued, "Harry finds each of you way too attractive and it makes even me want to kiss each of you."

The thought of Daphne making out with each of the other girls came to Harry's mind...and it was quite the turn on for him.

Still he definitely wasn't going to push for that or even try to imagine the possibilities too much...besides he was lucky enough as it was...and he had a Yule Ball to prepare for and look forward to with the 4 most beautiful girls in the world.

….

Later on, Harry was waiting along with Susan for the rest of the girls to come join them for another study session, planning to practice a spell inside one of the empty classrooms.

Seeing that they had a little time however, they were taking advantage of it by making out and feeling each other up as he had his hands all over Susan's huge bosom. Goodness they were so big and heavy and just absolutely incredible.

Susan on the other hand was feeling up his very prominent erection.

"Looks like I'm not the only one well endowed," She commented, seeming quite pleased.

"It also helps that you turn me on so much," He replied back before leaning in to kiss and make out with her some more even as he continued to play with her huge breasts through her robes and bra.

Finally however they were suddenly interrupted as they heard Hermione ask, "so when did you want to start studying then?"

He and Susan both broke apart from their make out session, blushing a bit.

"I think they were both too busy studying each other," Daphne teased, "you really didn't have to stop though, I was enjoying it."

He and Susan however decided it would probably be best to get to studying.

After learning about and practicing the new spell however Padma asked Susan, "so how is that egg clue going?"

"Oh, I think I've figured it out," Susan informed them happily, "I think the screeching is actually mersong so I'll need to listen to it underwater, only problem is I can't find a large enough body of water to listen to it under. My dorm room only has a shower and with 4 other girls sharing it, it's pretty hard to even get to use that."

"We could just use the lake and put warming charms on ourselves," Hermione suggested.

"I wouldn't be surprised if the next task is the lake," Padma noted, "if the egg clue really is mersong then we would only find mermaids down at the bottom of the lake. They don't usually come up to the surface but I know Dumbledore has a good relationship with them."

"That's probably it then," Susan agreed, "we may have actually solved the clue before even really listening to it, I'll probably need to go down to the bottom lake and somehow not drown and then go down to the mervillage to do something."

"Better hope it is not to fight the mermaids, I've heard they are vicious when threatened," Daphne told her.

"I hope I don't actually have to fight them," Susan said, "I'm guessing though that the real challenge will be actually getting safely down to the mervillage and being able to breath underwater."

"You could just get scuba gear or an aqua lung?" Hermione suggested, "sometimes the muggle ways are the best ways. I could ask my parents to buy all the gear for you?"

"Thanks for the offer," Susan said, "however while the lake isn't part of the actual school, it might be close enough to it or the mervillage magical enough that the muggle machinery might stop working like the way muggle stuff usually malfunctions and breaks around magical areas."

That seemed to stump them all until Padma suggested, "in order to breath at least you could try the bubble head charm, I sometimes use it whenever Parvati puts on way too much perfume at home."

"That's a great idea!" Susan praised, "however then I would still have the issue of actually finding the mervillage and being able to get down there quick enough as I'm sure that there is a time limit."

"We can practice and even have you at least find the mervillage beforehand," Hermione suggested, "we won't actually go inside the mervillage in case the merpeople consider it a threat and try to attack us, but just close enough to see it."

"Great idea!" Susan said, sounding relieved, especially since her first trip down into the lake would involve her not having to be alone. Of course they wouldn't be able to accompany her during the 2nd Task, but she would hopefully be much more prepared by herself when the time came.

….

Later on they all made their way to the lake and cast warming charms on themselves so they wouldn't freeze to death in the icy cold waters of the lake.

Upon doing so they all took off their outer clothes and Harry noticed much to his enjoyment that all of the girls were wearing bikinis, and looking very, very good in them.

"Harry here certainly seems to be enjoying the view," Daphne observed with a big and sly grin on her face.

"I can't exactly help it," Harry told them, "there is a lot for me to look at right now."

Padma grinned too and told him as she happily gave him a wink, "well you're certainly free to look all you want."

He gave each of the girls a long look as he admired each of them.

"You can do more than just look in my case Harry," Daphne offered.

He couldn't resist grinning and giving her a kiss as he groped her very nice bum while she did the same with him.

After that he went over and gave each of the other girls a kiss as well, as well as giving Susan's left boob a nice squeeze over her bikini top, which was rather hard to keep it at that as she was showing a lot of delicious cleavage to him..

He was also pleased to see each of the girls looking appreciatively at him, clad only in his swim trunks.

After another moment of looking at each other, they then all went underwater for a moment to listen to the egg clue which seemed straightforward enough, that the merpeople would have something that they valued and they would need to go down and get it back from them.

They then got to work in casting the Bubble Head Charm, something that they had read about but never tried before except for Padma who instructed them on how to do it.

Once each of them had managed to do it successfully a few times, they then dove into the lake and began swimming.

Since they were underwater they could no longer speak to each other but they signaled each other with their hands when they wanted to communicate.

That worked to a certain extent, but he also tried to practice using his bond that he had with each of the girls to try and also convey certain thoughts or feelings, which was still not as good or as easy as simply talking but what was still very helpful and it was nice to have a good reason to enjoy this level of emotional intimacy with each of the girls.

By now he could tell which girl was which without even looking, able to sense their own individual minds and emotions which were each distinct and unique to them.

As they swam deeper, they tried locating the mervillage.

Logic suggested that the merpeople would be at the bottom and center of the lake, so they started swimming in that direction.

When they got down towards the bottom of the lake, they were nearly attacked by some grindylows, but together they managed to subdue them despite their magic not working as effectively underwater.

Harry thought Susan probably ought to try and avoid them by herself, but learn a few spells that would be effective underwater just in case.

Once they spotted what had to be the mervillage, they then came up to the surface.

Susan however looked relieved and satisfied as she had already figured out much of what she was supposed to do.

The only problem now would be to figure out how to get to the mervillage more quickly as it had taken them over an hour just to get to the mervillage much less get back to the surface and then to dry land, but they could work on improving her time, especially since they knew right where the mervillage was and she wouldn't have to spend the time trying to find it.
