October 28th is the 17th birthday of Devon Murray, the young actor who portrays Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter films. I've just seen the promotional pictures of him and let me tell you… the boy is now a man.

Chapter Seventeen

Bill looked murderous and asked menacingly, "Why has my baby sister seen your erection?"

Harry blushed even deeper and said, "It was kind of an accident. I didn't plan on it."

"Is that an engorgement charm or are you naturally that large?" Charlie asked still looking at Harry's really big pee pee. "I think it's bigger than my broomstick."

Pinching the bridge of his nose Harry mutters, "Not what I wanted right now, another Darkmoore moment." Then looking up at Charlie, he asks, "Are you gay? I didn't know that."

"Nah, I flip both ways," Charlie said still looking down.

Seamus noticed that and quickly wrapped a towel around Harry's middle. "Keep your eyes forward," he warned in his dangerous Irish accent.

"Ginny," Bill said not liking the way the conversation was turning, "How is it that you've seen Harry erection?"

"We were in bed together and it was digging into my hip."

"Alright Bill," Charlie said very quickly and grabbing his brother's arm began pulling him out of the room. "Let's wait in the common room for them."

x-x-x-x-x

A short time later, a fully dressed, Harry, Ginny and Seamus were walking down the stairs of the Gryffindor Tower towards the common room that lay at the bottom.

"I can't believe you said that to him Ginny," Harry scolded her.

"Well he asked," Ginny replied as Seamus snickered.

"This is not funny."

"Yes it is," the other two replied together.

Together the three Gryffindors stepped off of the bottom step and into the common room proper, which of course was filled with red headed people that Harry really didn't want to talk to, but had to because it was all a part of his master plan. However, the Weasleys didn't notice him entering the room; instead they seemed to be deeply engrossed in their own conversation. Harry suspected they were trying to come up with some form of game plan as to how to deal with Harry and get him to drop all of the charges against Ron and Hermione, who were now sitting in some holding cell deep in the bowels of the Ministry of Magic. However, he was wrong.

"Its how big?" Mrs. Weasley asked her second born son.

"It's huge," Charlie replied enthusiastically. "I mean if he and Ginny were to get together, we'd have a Ginny-kabob on our hands. I mean really, I think he could puncture some of her internal organs if he got too enthusiastic about it."

Harry stopped dead in his tracks and groaned in annoyance. This was NOT the conversation he wanted to overhear them talking about.

"So Ginny," Seamus asked as he leaned over to her, "Are you frightened yet?"

Smirking back at him she replied, "Nope. Are you? You've been trying to climb that pole ever since Harry returned to school. According to Charlie, Harry might end up splitting you in two."

"Yeah, but what a way to go."

"You two are not helping matters you know," Harry hissed at them. They merely laughed at him, which in turn drew the Weasley's attention away from each other.

"Oh good, you're here," Mrs. Weasley said looking both stern and somewhat concerned for her daughter's … well you know, those bits … down there.

"Yes, I am here, in the castle that I have been forced against my will by wizarding law to live in while everyone who ever betrayed me demands my forgiveness without for one moment actually asking for it or trying to actually earn it, all the while trying to have a private moment with two naked people who are important to me. Why are you here?" Harry said coldly giving a hint knowing full well that it would once again go unheeded as it has been in the previous thirty six chapters.

"Yes, well," Mrs. Weasley hedged for a moment before plowing on. "We wanted to talk to you about the upcoming marriage between your self and Ginny and the immediate release of Ron from Ministry custody."

Harry blinked at her and strolling over to one of the thread bare scarlet sofas sat down in the middle with Ginny and Seamus taking seats on either side of him. Ginny immediately scrunched down to place her head on his shoulder and Seamus, not to be out done, as he is competitive and really horny, also scrunched down, but instead of putting his head on Harry's other shoulder, grasped Harry's hand and intertwined their fingers together making sure the white outline of the words, 'I must not tell lies,' was visible to everyone in the room.

Deep down in Harry's stomach the beast that was sniffing Ginny's hair and had been intently watching beautiful round breasts as they emerged from the bubble bath was raging with the ball of confusion that he had about his feelings for Seamus, which had come from out of the blue, but was holding its own with the beast and causing Harry's head to swim with confusion over the two and slowly giving him a headache in the process. Having a headache now was not helping with the more immediate problem of a room filled with red headed Weasleys.

Pushing all the battling parts of himself that were having it out in his stomach down further in order to clear his head, Harry looks coldly at Mrs. Weasley and asked, "Are you not bargaining for the release of Hermione Granger, Head Girl as well?"

"Well I think that would be something for her parents to do."

"But she's apparently been shagging your son all term. That is when he's not out professing his love to a few goats as the entire school heard about in that howler you sent. I would think you would have a more than passing interest in her well being as well as his."

"Yes," Mrs. Weasley said with the beginnings of a good old fashioned tantrum, "I never sent those howlers and you very well know it."

"But the rest of the school doesn't," Harry said as Seamus began kissing the tips of his fingers. "They think that he's been having sexual relations with a goat. I'm surprised that he didn't have his prefect privileges taken away from him for that alone. I don't think it would set a good example to the younger kids in the tower."

"I'd like to know who did send those letters."

Smiling Harry admitted, "Oh that was Fred's and George's doing."

"WHAT?" the Weasley matriarch said as she turned on the twins, who were quietly trying to edge their way towards the portrait hole and their escape.

Stopping dead in their tracks the looked at their mother and said in unison, "Harry made us do it."

"Yeah mum, Harry would've taken …" Fred started and George finished, "… the store away from us."

From the look on Molly Weasley's face she was about to become volcanic. However, before she could say anything, a popping noise was heard that could be nothing else than a house elf entering the room.

"Harry Potter sir," squeaked Dobby excitedly as this was his very first solo assignment from the Boy-Who-Lived since returning to school. "Dobby has done as you's instructed and fire called those people you's is wanting to being coming to the castle and they's is being here soon."

Beaming at the elf, Harry asks, "As in on their way here or on the school grounds here?"

"They's is just crossing the main gates Harry Potter."

"Thank you Dobby."

The elf beamed with pride and bowing low, popped away again.

Turning back to his visitors Harry asked, "Was there something else?"

"Yes actually there is," Bill said stepping up before his mother could dig herself in deeper. "You never explained why it is that my baby sister has seen your erect penis."

"Or how it got so big," Charlie chimed in for good measure.

"Well, as you may remember when you saw me a couple of weeks ago in the Leaky Cauldron when I told you all to go fuck yourselves that I was short, scrawny and very malnourished having had nothing but dirty water and moldy food for one year, three months, two weeks, four days, seven hours, thirteen minutes and twenty six seconds. After being forced to return to school and dealing with a colony of Banshees," Harry explained and Seamus shuddered at the mention of the Banshees and his perceived shame at not standing up with Harry to fight them. "Seamus dragged me to go visit that woman in the infirmary and she refused to brew the proper potions I needed forcing me to go begging Severus Snape, the greasy bastard from hell, to do it for me. After a little blackmailing from my house elf Eppy, he agreed to it and brewed my need specific nutrition potions which caused me to experience a rapid growth to my potential height, weight and muscle structure. However, it also caused my penis to more than double its size as well."

"Wonder if he'll brew me some of that potion," Charlie muttered.

Bill was about to say something, probably a reminder about the erection when Harry cut him off.

"Now as I was saying, after returning to the castle I was not sleeping well and was having really bad dreams and nightmares causing me to toss and turn quite a bit at night. Seamus here," Harry said and gave his dorm mate's hand a squeeze that caused the two beasts in Harry's stomach to start fighting again, "noticed and crawled into bed with me one night and held me close and giving me a safe feeling for the first time in over one year, three months, two weeks, four days, seven hours, thirteen minutes and twenty six seconds. After that he slept with me and held me tight a couple more times waiting until I was asleep to do it."

Harry paused noticing that Mrs. Weasley had her handkerchief out and was dabbing her eyes. It annoyed him but he ignored it and moved on with the story.

"Eventually Seamus, being the wonderful and loving guy he is, decided that I might be uncomfortable sleeping with another guy, particularly a gay one and had Neville crawl in bed with me once. That didn't work very well as he kept rolling over on top of me. So later after Ginny had humbled herself and actually asked for my forgiveness instead of demanding it as everyone else did, Seamus asked her to sleep with me after I had gone to sleep. Now the night Ginny crawled into my bed, fully clothed in case your dirty minds are heading somewhere else with this, was the second night after I started taking my nutrition potions. Having grown several inches the day before I was very sleepy and didn't notice her until early in the morning when I achieved the first erection I had in one year, three months, two weeks, four days, seven hours, thirteen minutes and twenty six seconds, which is how she managed to see my penis erect Bill. Does that qualify as a good excuse in your warped sense of 'big-brotherness'?"

Bill thought about it for a moment then asked, "Did you touch it Ginny?"

Ginny thought about it and qualified, "Does Harry dry humping me in his sleep count as touching it?"

Harry flushed and Seamus snickered from head to foot.

"GINNY!" Mrs. Weasley cried, "You are far too young to know about humping things."

"Apparently not," the twins muttered together.

Suddenly from behind the Weasleys a voice was heard crying out…

"There's she is being! Eppy is telling you's that I's is bringing you's to that woman who is being stealing my wonderful and prettiful Master Harry's gold from him and I's is doing it," cried a small elf wearing a pink dress with little yellow flowers embroidered on the hem and wearing steel toed Muggle military combat boots that have apparently been glued with bright red glitter. "You's doing you's jobs you's is and arresting her now!"

"Are you Molly Weasley?"

"Kingsley Shacklebot, you know full well who I am," she said.

"This is procedure Molly," Kingsley replied in a low voice and continued in a booming voice, "We have been dispatched from the Auror office of the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to arrest you, Mrs. Molly Weasley, on charges of theft of gold from the private vault of one Harry James Potter and theft from Gringott's Wizarding Bank in general. You will now accompany us back to the Ministry."

"Arthur?" she said to her husband looking very afraid.

"I'm afraid that you'll have to go with them Molly."

Ginny got up from the sofa and went over to her mother. She was not happy about being sold of into marriage, but she still did love her mother very much and wanted to hug her before she was taken away.

At this point Harry's attention was dragged away from the Aurors and Weasleys as Seamus asked him a question in his husky sexy Irish accent, "So you think that I'm a wonderful and loving kind of guy, huh?"

"I wouldn't have said so if I had thought otherwise."

Smiling Seamus leans in very close and in an act of daring reaches up and plants a chaste kiss on Harry's lips, causing Harry's eyes to almost pop out of his skull and the beast that was a ball of confusion in Harry's stomach kicked the other beast that couldn't stop thinking about Ginny's bare and soapy breasts right in the … safe deposit box and then did a little gig of glee.

"Umm," Harry said as he rubbed his stomach where the two beasts were now in a knock down drag out.

"Yeah Harry?"

"I think we just had a MusingCalliope moment."

"I hope that's a good thing," Seamus said as he stared into Harry's emerald green eyes.

To Be Continued … Please Read and Review

As another reminder, I AM NOT MAKING HARRY GAY, STRAIGHT or BISEXUAL! But I am messing with your heads … A LOT! Don't worry, I have plans for another Harry kiss that'll even the odds, so DO NOT PANIC, I HAVE A PLAN and an outline.

Once again Darkmoore wrote a story called Harry Potter and The Veela That Wouldn't Go Away, in which Harry has a very large penis and is often referred to as having a broomstick between his legs.

MusingCalliope wrote a story called Questions here at ff dot net. It's a short one shot about Seamus kissing Harry after a Quidditch game and how Harry didn't see it coming. I just couldn't resist it considering how my story was going. Tee Hee.

For those who are wondering, I first heard the tripod comment on a British sit-com called "Coupling," when it was playing on BBC America. If you ever get to see it, it's hilarious! For those of you who was wondering. Also a tripod is a three legged stand, usually to hold a camera, with all three legs of equal length and strength.
