Katie Bell

Harry felt as though his head was filled with twenty-pounds of brick, when he woke up from his drunken sleep. As he regained consciousness, he quietly and smoothly lifted his head some to check out the rest of the abandoned classroom. The second wizarding war (and Lord Voledmort's permanent downfall) ended a couple days ago and yesterday was when the funerals for the fallen had been held, as well as cleanup of Hogwarts castle and getting it rebuilt, and the roundup of the remaining death eaters to have them put behind bars where they belonged. Harry and his friends held themselves a party as a way of celebrating their victory and the abandoned classroom they were in was an extreme mess. Countless bottles of butterbeer, rum, firewhiskey, ale and wine were all over the floor.

'Oh okay!' thought Harry as the memory of the previous evening came back. 'We all celebrated the victory of the second wizarding war.'

As Harry darted his eyes around the room, he saw the rest of his friends still asleep (likely because of consuming too much alcohol). Ron was on his back with his shirt unbuttoned (partially exposing his torso), Neville was on his stomach with Hannah on top of him, Dean Thomas was sprawled out on a nearby couch, Cho had her head down on a table and had fallen asleep while sitting on a chair, Luna had fallen asleep on the stairs leading up to the bathrooms, Alicia was on her front with her arse up in the air, while Angelina had fallen asleep on her right arm. Then Harry spotted a head of brown hair resting on his chest and felt a pair of breasts on his stomach. Harry finally understood that it was Katie Bell and she was using him as a pillow. Then Harry looked over at his left arm to discover that not only was it resting on Katie's back, but his hand was resting on her arse.

"Gah!" Harry responded in shock, his eyes widening.

He quickly pulled his hand away as his cheeks turned red and radiated heat. Katie stirred a little, but otherwise remained asleep. She was dressed in a brown short-sleeve button-up shirt, a pair of dark-coloured shin-length jeans, and a pair of brown leather sandals that was laying close by. She must've taken them off during the party. Strangely, Harry still had his arm around Katie because of te fact that she was using him as a makeshift pillow was a nice feeling (it made Harry's stomach do some flip-flops). Harry managed to dart his eyes around the room and saw Fred and George laying on their fronts while snoring, Susan Bones was on her back with one leg stretched out and the other one at a forty-five degree angle. Lee Jordan fell asleep while sitting in his chair, Oliver Wood was laying down on his left side, and Hermione was laying on her right side while curled up into a ball. It all further proved how chaotic the party was the previous evening.

'Oh boy!' thought Harry when again he felt Katie's breasts on his stomach (which was doing some flip-flops).

Harry also felt his heart beat faster, unsure of what to do or say. Katie appeared to be so comfortable, so Harry let her sleep. Pretty soon, everyone in the room was starting to come to. Some were complaining about hangover related headaches, some complained about how laying on the hard stone floor being painful (due to a lack of beds and sleeping bags with cushioning charms in place), while a few others complained about having stomachches (due to consuming quite a number of sweets and butterbeer). Katie rolled over onto Harry's arm, unaware of it due to seemingly still being asleep).

"Uh!" Harry responded with a mild groan.

But Katie was actually waking up because she pulled herself up into a sitting position (albeit slowly because she, too, had a hangover) and stretched her arms and legs out. Harry started shaking his left arm to get rid of any potential numbness before pulling himself up into a sitting position. Hermione got up and walked over to Harry to check on him, with Luna doing the same. The two formed smirks on their faces to see Harry and Katie sitting next to each other.

"I assume that last evening was pretty interesting for you?" Hermione told Harry, trying hard not to laugh.

"What do you mean, Hermione?" asked Harry in confusion.

"You were partying pretty hard, Harry," said Hermione matter-of-factly. "Especially with Katie. You two were rather touchy for most of the night."

"How was that even possible, Hermione?" asked Katie, as a blush started forming on her face.

"Well, Katie," Hermione explained. "I didn't have much alcohol, so I was able to comprehend everything that happened last night much easier."

"I saw it too, Katie," said Luna, trying to hide the amusement in her voice. "I didn't have much alcohol either. It looked so adorable to see you having fallen asleep on Harry and using him as a pillow. Your dancing was also such to the point where you started rubbing your arse over Harry's…"

"Did that really happen?!" Katie exclaimed (unwittingly interrupting Luna in the process), her blush intensifying as she put her hands over her mouth.

Harry also began blushing, with his face radiating heat and his heart beating faster at what Katie did in her drunken state the evening before. Katie also felt her body radiating heat at the realization of what kind of dance she gave Harry.

"Yes, Katie," Hermione confirmed. "It really happened."

"Something tells me that there's more." said Harry uneasily, readjusting his glasses.

"There actually is more, Harry," stated Cho with a smirk, when she walked up to him and Katie. "I was also one of the few to keep the alcohol intake minimal. When you and Katie danced away, I saw her giving your arse some firm grasps and how she was going, 'Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah!' She did that with every squeeze."

"You also lifted your shirt up some," Hermione informed Katie. "So Harry could see your good-looking tummy."

"You were also fondling with Katie's breasts shortly you hit the floor from exhaustion." Luna told Harry, in an amused voice.

Harry and Katie were blushing even more once they were informed of their drunken dancing the night before. The memory was also coming back to them, their faces turning even more red as they felt their bodies radiating heat. Witnessing that brought some giggles for Hermione, Luna and Cho.

"I'm so sorry to have done that, Katie!" Harry apologized, rather sheepishly. "I must've had a little too much alcohol."

"No need to apologize, Harry. I was just as touchy as you were, so no harm done." assured Katie. Then she leaned closer to him and whispered, "I could feel your hand on my arse as we were waking up, and it felt rather nice."

Harry's blush intensified at that revelation, much to Katie's amusement. As soon as she put her sandals back on, Katie walked over to Alicia (who was still in her sleeping position, but somewhat awake) and, in an attempt to make her get up onto her feet, smacked her arse. Alicia jumped up with a squeak as she got up and shielded her arse with her hands. Spotting Katie's smirk, Alicia sent her a playful glare when she realized she did it.

"Must you smack me any harder, Katie?!" Alicia responded in a mock-complaint, exaggerating it.

Katie just giggled in response before walking over to Angelina to wake her up. Naturally, the numbness in her right arm didn't go unnoticed, resulting in Angelina shaking it to regain the sensation. Trying to do it with her numb arm had little effect, so Angelina used her left arm to shake the sensation back into her numb arm. Ron and Neville walked up to the still-blushing Harry. He told them about his dance and touchiness with Katie, resulting in Ron and Neville laughing.

"If Seamus was here with us," said Neville. "He'd have had a blast, too."

Harry and Ron nodded their heads in agreement. Seamus tried to use a stunning spell on one of the death eaters, but it resulted in an explosion. Luckily it killed the death eater, but Seamus was caught in the blast and killed by it as a result.

"We'd better go to Madam Pomfrey and get some hangover potions," said Ron. "You gonna join us, Harry?"

"In a minute," said Harry. "I ought to talk to Katie about our drunken dancing."

Ron and Neville nodded their heads in acknowledgement before leaving the abandoned classroom to head for the hospital wing. Harry wondered if Katie was the right one for him, given what happened the evening before. He never recalled doing anything like that with Ginny during the short time they 'dated.' He realized that her fangirl behaviour and crush on the Boy-Who-Lived never went away. She wasn't even upset about their breakup and she wasn't enthusiastic to see him back at Hogwarts to look for the last horcrux. She even fiercely insisted that Luna help Harry look for Ravenclaw's diadem even though Cho willingly volunteered (which was why Harry invited her to the party to make it up to her). During the Battle of Hogwarts, Ginny received her comeuppance for her spoiled brat nature and bullying (which explained why she was unscathed) when Bellatrix Lestrange struck her down with the killing curse.

Once the battle and the war concluded, Harry even talked it over with Cho and they agreed to just be friends. She realized that Marietta Edgecombe wasn't the friend she thought (as the sneak was ungrateful and lacked loyalty by refusing to participate in the war). Harry slowly walked up to Katie chatting with their former teammates as everyone left the classroom and over to the hospital wing. The six of Harry's original teammates spotted him and developed smirks on their faces, thus Harry knew that Katie must've told them what she and Harry did in their inebriated states.

"Maybe we should forget what we did?" Harry asked Katie in a semi-concealed nervous voice, while blushing at the same time.

"Harry, why would I want to forget it?" Katie responded with a grin on her face. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, considering I was all touchy with you as much as you were with me. One of these days, you'll look back on it and laugh. I did say it felt rather nice, right?"

"Well, yeah," said Harry. "But I was more concerned about upsetting you, that's all."

"You didn't upset me at all, Harry." assured Katie in a soft voice.

"Besides, many girls would've wished to be in Katie's place to find out she squeezed your arse." Alicia told Harry in a teasing manner.

Then she, Aneglina, Fred, George, and Oliver joined Lee and, while laughing, headed for the hospital wing for some hangover potions. Now Harry and Katie were alone in the classroom and started blushing again when they made eye contact. Then they began following everyone to the hospital wing (since they needed hangover potions, too). As they walked together, Katie put an arm around Harry's shoulders as a way of comforting him.

'Maybe, just maybe!' thought Harry. 'Katie might be the one for me!'

The End!

Author's note: I'm going to leave it up to you to decide if Harry and Katie eventually get together or if they decide to just stay friends.
