In the morning they wake up about nine. They dress. Harry puts on his filthy briefs, his others are at Hermione's. They look at each other a bit awkwardly. Gia says, "Harry, I enjoyed last night thoroughly, including your orgasm. But I agree, let's take it easy for a while. There's plenty of other ways to have fun and I want to explore them. I did find how deep your passions are."

Harry replies, "You're testing me?"

Gia says, "Not really, kinda realized it afterward. You'd go all the way if you didn't restrain yourself. Don't worry, you'll make it."

Harry says, "Thankfully Ron restrained me when I was drunk. I probably would've forced it all the way."

Gia says, "I'll take note, the drunk Harry stays out of bed. We'll keep you sober. Though you did seem to wash down the street, probably an improvement."

Harry chuckles and says, "Well lets go downstairs."

Gia says, "Harry, thanks for warning me. We're all fallible in some fashion."

He kisses her and says, "Thanks for last night. I love sharing everything I can with you."

Harry opens the bedroom door. They head down to the kitchen.

* * * Breakfast and Discussion at the Prescotts' * * *

They enter the kitchen. Kevin is fixing breakfast. Snuffles is laying on a living room chair. Kevin is cooking bacon, eggs, toast, and beans.

Kevin says, "Hi Gia. I don't have to go into work today, apparently some pipes broke and flooded the office."

Gia says, "Thanks for fixing us breakfast."

Kevin says, "For my daughter, no effort."

Kevin sets out the big breakfast for me, Harry, himself, and some even for Snuffles. Snuffles comes over and starts munching.

Kevin says, "I hope he won't mind this. Don't have dog food."

Harry says, "Snuffles probably likes this better than what the stores call 'dog food'. A ham or a nice T-bone agrees with him." Snuffles looks at Harry in approval.

Kevin asks, "Harry, was wondering if you two want to stick around today."

Harry says, "Couple of hours maybe. Easter's a working holiday and we do a bunch of school work during the day at Hermione's."

Kevin says, "Tell you what, stick around an hour or so. I could use some help. Tonight, do you and Gia want to go bowling? Bring along your other friends?"

Gia says, "Sure, I think they'll like that."

Kevin says, "I'll come over and pick you up from the Grangers at, say, 6 pm?"

Harry says, "We'll double check with Ron and Hermione. If there's a problem, we'll call."

They eat breakfast fairly rapidly.

Kevin collects the dishes and piles them into the sink. He says "Ane will know what to do with these."

Snuffles was takes a nap. Harry and Gia follow Kevin out front. They stand next to a big pile of bricks.

Kevin says, "Yes, I want to put in that patio that I've been talking about. Harry, could you help me move these bricks to the back?"

"Sure." says Harry.

We walk around to the back.

Kevin says, "I'd like to stage them here." He points out a tarp that's been laid out. He says, "If you'll excuse me, I need to visit the head."

Harry and Gia walk out to the front. Quickly, Harry looks around, scrutinizing everything. He pulls out his wand. The pallet with the bricks levitates and start moving around the house.

"Shh!" Harry says to Gia. She smiles. They follow the bricks as they move around the house to the back. Once they're positioned above the tarp, Harry lets them back down. Just in time, too.

Kevin comes out and looks astonished. He says, "I won't ask how, you two are fast. Thought it'd take an hour."

For about an hour, Harry helps Kevin place cobblestone bricks onto the ground for the patio. Kevin notices Gia's finger.

"A ring?" Kevin asks.

"Harry says its a girlfriend ring." Gia says, blushing.

Kevin says, "My hair must be getting gray. He must be magical to you, Gia."

Gia replies, "In more ways than one."

Harry then says, "Strange, the holiday is already half over. I'll be returning to school Sunday. As I explained Saturday, Snuffles will remain here and I'll be commuting daily."

Kevin says to Harry, "That's very trusting of you. To leave Snuffles with her. That commute sounds like a real bargain."

Harry says, "Well, my marks have been slipping because of Gia. Ron twisted the teachers' arms to allow me to spend even more time with her. They don't want me to flunk out."

"Gia intoxicates you, right? Nice to have decent people with the kind of dirt that's out there. Even when they're caught, they escape. Like when that dangerous Black escaped. Did they ever catch him?"

"That's funny you should mention Sirius. We did a bit of footwork several years ago. Turns out he was framed, but the decisive evidence sort of ran off. We could have proved his innocence."

"You did? But the trial?"

"Sirius had none. He was sent to prison without one." says Harry.

"No trial? A bit hard to swallow. You're right, by now you need the evidence proving innocence."

"The decision was summary. It's a tough case because without that evidence, all the clues suggest Sirius. The strange thing is that Sirius and my Dad were best friends during school. They were pretty close until my parents were killed."

"Small world, isn't it? So, would you turn him in?"

"No, because I know he's innocent. There's an execution awaiting him were he to be captured."

Gia diverts Harry and Kevin's conversation. She says, "Harry, we should be heading to Hermione's."

The three enter through the back of the house.

Harry wakes up Snuffles.

Kevin says, "Quite a pooch. Seems fit too. How old is he?"

Harry replies, "Not sure actually. First met him about three years ago. Seems to have taken a liking to me, so I keep him."

Harry, Gia, and Snuffles exits the Prescotts' house and head for the Grangers'.

They approach the Granger residence.

Harry says, "Snuffles, have fun in the creek or something. We'll be fine."

Snuffles gets the hint and takes off for the back yard.

Harry knocks on the front door.

* * * Hardly a Banana * * *

I wake up and hear the knocking at the front door. It's likely Harry. Hermione appears to be fast asleep. I get up and dash to the front door. I open the door to see an astonished Harry and Gia. They enter the living room. Gia giggles.

Harry asks, "Where's Hermione? Her parents?"

I say, "Hermione's upstairs. Parents aren't here."

"Ron, why don't you get some breakfast." says Gia as she continues to giggle.

I wander into the kitchen. I grab a banana and sit on the counter. At that moment that I realize that I am naked! I totally did not think about that. I'm really embarrassed.

Gia says, "Stay Ron. It'll make Hermione's day, especially with the way your things are dangling over the counter edge like that."

Hermione comes down the stairs. She giggles at me. I see her naked boobs and get horny. She seems horrified that I'd do that in front of Harry and Gia.

Gia says, "Hermione, Harry and I had fun last night."

Hermione snorts with laughter.

I hold a banana next to my horniness and ask her, "Care for a banana darling?"

"Sure." she says. I can't quite read her look. She grabs the banana. She lets her fingers run along my parts as she pulls the banana away from me.

Gia says, "Be careful. They can go off without warning."

Hermione says, "I'll keep that in mind."

Harry says, "Ron, Hermione, Gia's Dad, Mr. Prescott, has offered to take us to dinner tonight and then some bowling. He's picking me and Gia up at six tonight. Want to come?"

"Sure." I say.

Harry and I head for the stairs.

"Wait." says Gia.

We halt.

Gia and Hermione exchange whispers.

Hermione says, "I think they'll do that."

"What?" I ask.

Gia giggles as she says, "We dare you two to both go naked today. That is until Dad shows up."

Hermione says, "Make our day."

Harry and me exchange looks.

"I would not be comfortable with that." says Harry.

Gia looks a bit disappointed.

I say, "Gia, you'll see him naked tonight anyways."

Hermione says, "Not quite the same."

Harry says, "Maybe some other time. I want to start working on those Portkeys today. I might wind up out in public until we work the kinks out."

Harry and I climb the stairs. Hermione is right behind.

"Nice view." she comments.

"Glad you like my ass." I say.

She says, "Actually, that dick of yours is fun to watch."

At the end of the upstairs hall, I let her catch up. I grab her and say, "I'll go naked today if you want. Harry, I dare you."

Hermione says, "I'd like to see you do it Harry."

Harry rolls his eyes and says, "Alright, so long as you and Gia go topless."

Gia shouts up, "Sounds fine by me."

I say, "Just means your aim on the Portkeys needs to be good Harry."

Hermione enters her room and closes the door.

* * * Pacing * * *

I enter Harry's room and close the door.

Harry asks, "Strip show?"

I say, "Harry, I've seen you naked before. So, I noticed the ring."

Harry strips. He says, "Yep, gave it to her."

I ask, "Gia had fun. How far?"

"You pervert!"

"Nah, just gives me a reason to pressure Hermione."

"What?"

"Harry, if we pace this right, we can really get them."

"Just like being naked?"

"Makes them drool. Did you fuck?"

"No."

"Hmm, demonstrate any urges?"

"She gave me a hand job actually."

"Really? Did you like it?"

"Blimey! Of course! What guy wouldn't?"

"So, about the ring. What did you do?"

"Wizard Key plus the anti-theft and anti-loss measures."

"She'll be surprised should she find out."

"To Gia, it seems like a normal ring."

Ron says, "Enchanting Muggle objects. I won't report you to Dad."

"It's just a ring. It won't work for anyone but Gia. She loves me, otherwise we wouldn't have done last night."

"Keep those condoms handy."

Harry exclaims, "You bastard!"

"Hey, I don't want you screwing up your Hogwarts education. So, are you actually going to work on those Portkeys today?"

"Thinking about it. However, if I'm naked, I'll probably work on something safer. How are your essays?"

"Nearly finished. You?"

"Done with them including Lupin's. Might work on the backpacks."

"What? Why work ... oh."

"Yeah, expand them a bit. Otherwise there appear to be some interesting videos on the library shelves."

"Videos?"

"Muggles' moving pictures with sound. Plenty of blackmail material on Hermione."

Harry stuffs a several books, his wand, and some small objects into his backpack. He carries it and we exit his bedroom.

* * * Portkeys II * * *

Ron and Harry step down the stairs into the kitchen. Hermione and Gia see this and giggle. Both Gia and Hermione are topless and sitting at the table. Harry has an erection as he sits down at the kitchen table. Ron sits down at the table. Hermione gives Ron a look. Ron dick goes erect.

Harry gets out the notes, books, and his wand. He sets them onto the table along with the pile of other notes and books.

Harry asks, "Hermione, still working on those essays?"

Hermione mutters a "Uh-huh."

Gia smiles and says, "My day looks better."

Ron says, "It's obvious why."

Harry stands up with his Useful Storage.

Gia asks, "Where are you going?"

Harry says, "Living room. Bit easier to read there."

Hermione panics and exclaims, "The curtains out there are open!"

Harry replies, "I'll close them."

Hermione shouts, "Sit on the towels!"

He wanders out to the living room. Harry closes the curtains and lays on a sofa near the burning fireplace.

A half hour later, Ron finishes the last of his essays.

Ron says, "Gia, thanks for the essay advice."

Gia replies, "You're welcome."

Ron grabs the Portkey notes and book.

Hermione asks, "Living room?"

Ron replies, "Cozier to read there. Be better if you joined."

Hermione says, "Unlike you, I want to finish my essays."

Ron replies, "I've already finished them."

Hermione snorts and mutters, "I wonder what quality."

Ron ignores this and heads into the living room. He sits on the sofa with Harry.

Ron says to Harry, "Any progress?"

Harry says, "This will take a bit of studying."

"We'll look into these Portkeys."

"We practiced a bit at Hogwarts."

"Those were simple, these will be slightly tricker."

Harry says, "Of course, we'll want to disguise it."

"Disguise the Portkey?"

"Yes. What if Malfoy sees it or something? Then changeable destinations."

"Why?"

"We need to test it here. Then, we'll set the real destinations."

"Sounds fair."

Harry and Ron review the notes.

"This is way too complicated to try without wands." remarks Harry.

Harry summons his wand from the kitchen table. It zooms into his hand.

Hermione loudly remarks, "Impressive Harry."

"So, what will we use?" asks Ron.

Harry summons some patches from from his backpack.

"Patches?" asks Ron.

"Yes. Malfoy teases you enough about being poor. Figure he won't think much of patches on our clothes." says Harry.

"But on yours?"

"Well, we need to guard them, so underwear?"

"Sounds fine."

"Of course, we'll make Dumbledore's and Sirius' a pin or something."

"Yeah, the underwear patch might not go well with either of them." says Ron.

Several pins come flying to Harry.

Harry says, "Dumbledore gave me a number of Hogwarts pins before we left."

Ron says, "And Snuffles'?"

"Who reads pins on a dog's collars? If we toss on a couple others, nobody will notice."

Ron says, "Of course, we could make our dicks Portkeys."

"And the first time Gia and I have some fun?"

Ron admits, "Bad idea."

Harry sorts through the notes.

Ron says, "Okay, lets list out what we need each Portkey to do. It seems we have at least two different set of needs."

Harry says, "Okay." He grabs a quill and parchment.

Ron says, "Let's start with yours."

Harry writes. Hogwarts: My Bed; Noigate: Gia's bedroom; Unobtrusive when not in use; Inactive when not in use; Time delay; Reversible

Ron says, "Mine will be similar."

Harry asks, "Her bedroom? My bed?"

Ron says, "At least not your bed. Though I'd be discrete if I pop into anything."

Harry says, "We can argue later. Let's see, Sirius and Dumbledore's. Harry writes, Hogwarts: Headmaster's Office; Noigate: Prescott's front door; Reversible.

Ron says, "We'll want double taps or something for activation. Should somebody disappear unexpectedly...."

"We could spoil the whole thing. Let's see, the pin ones look easier."

"Okay, let's try those first."

Harry holds open the notes and reads it. He holds his wand to the pin. He says, "The easy way to set destination is to be there first."

Ron says, "Okay, give it a try."

Harry points his wand at the pin and says, "porta creo ... porta primo locus ... porta viginti coepi." He dashes to the dining room. The girls giggle at the sight of Harry. Harry disappears from the dining room and reappears, landing on he sofa.

Ron says, "Good. Can we make it reversible?"

Harry says, "Bit more studying."

Hermione loudly says, "I thought you two weren't going to work on those today."

Ron replies, "We changed our minds. Besides, we're doing the destinations the easy way. We won't pop naked into a shopping mall or something."

Harry and Ron pick through the notes. Harry says, "I figured it out."

Harry grabs the pin and points his wand at it and says, "porta primo locus." Harry walks to the dining room. He points his wand at the pin and says, "porta altera locus ... porta primo coepi" Harry disappears. He appears and lands on the sofa.

Ron says, "Okay, reverse it."

Harry points his wand and says, "porta altera locus." He disappears. Harry appears in the dining room and lands.

Hermione jokes, "Gia, your vanishing boyfriend."

Gia says, "As long as he returns."

Harry points the wand and says, "porta reverso coepi." Harry disappears. He appears and lands on the sofa.

Ron says, "Seems to work. You seem to be getting the spells down."

Harry says, "Pretty easy once you learn the vocabulary. Like Transfiguration or Charms. Try it Ron."

Ron grabs a pin. He points his wand and says, "porta creo ... porta primo locus ... porta triginta coepi." Ron dashes to the dining room. He disappears and lands on the sofa.

Harry says, "See, it works."

Harry and Ron give these several tries for an hour. They set various locations about the house and are popping all over. They play with various touches and combinations.

Finally, they sit back down on the sofa.

Ron says, "Guess those are successful."

Harry asks, "Let's see, we need to make them capable of Hogwarts entry."

Ron says, "Well, we can get Dumbledore to help if we have problems. Let's see, that would be porta muto sino altus and 'Hogwarts chocolate frogs'."

Harry says, "So, transfiguration next."

Ron says, "Are these things normally inert?"

Harry says, "No. That requires porta ignavus. Anyways, just a moment."

Harry walks to the kitchen table. He asks, "Hermione, finished with your essays yet?"

Gia says, "No, she's trying to rewrite some of your books."

Harry says, "She's missing out on the Portkey fun."

Hermione says, "I saw you guys appearing and disappearing. What more could I ask for?"

Harry says, "How to work them."

Harry grabs his Transfiguration book and brings it into the living room. He sits on the sofa and thumbs through it. He says, "Here's a good one. We can transform the patch to and from a large metal disk, similar to a fifty pence coin."

Ron says, "Try it with one of your patches."

Harry takes his wand to the patch. The patch ignites. Harry tosses it into the fireplace.

Ron suggests, "Maybe we should read it first."

Harry and Ron read the relevant section.

Harry says, "Okay, I'll try it."

Harry waves his wand at a green patch. This time it transfigures itself into a green metal disk.

Ron suggest, "Make it a permanent switcher, requires two taps of the wand to change."

Harry tries this. He taps the wand on the button twice, it changes back into the patch. He taps twice and the patch turns into button.

Ron tries it with a red patch. He repeats Harry's feat, only this time metal disk is red.

Harry says, "You take red, I'll take the green one."

Harry gets up heads to the kitchen. He returns moments later with several plastic sandwich bags.

Ron asks, "What are those for?"

Harry replies, "To keep these straight. Otherwise we'll forget which ones are the Portkeys." Harry puts the unused pins and patches into a baggie. He marks it as "spares".

Ron says, "Suppose we should try the patches as Portkeys."

Harry and Ron create Portkeys out of their disks. Again, they appear and disappear around the house. They test them for about an hour.

Harry says, "Well, they seem to work. I'll set them tonight at Gia's house."

Harry puts the patches and two pins into another baggie. Harry grabs the books, notes, wand, and baggies. He carries them to the kitchen table. He stashes the baggie or Portkeys into the pocket of his jacket.

* * * Modest Chat * * *

Gia's cell phone rings. She answers, "Hello? ... 30 minutes. ... We'll be ready. ... Love you." Then she turns to us, "You two might want to get dressed. My Dad's picking us up in 30 minutes." Gia and Hermione restore their shirts.

Harry and Ron climb the stairs to their guest bedrooms. They enter the bathroom for showers. Harry closes the door.

Ron says, "Funny, after an hour or two, I didn't care about being naked in front of them."

Harry says, "Same with me. Guess we just get used to it."

They step into the shower.

"I probably would've tried going out naked if Gia didn't remind us."

"The girls seem a bit more conscious about that."

Ron says, "Yeah, we can work on them though."

Harry jokes, "One erection at a time."

"Sex?"

"What?"

"I mean, you're sober. So, would you fuck Gia right now?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Not ready for that. I suspect you're not either."

"Not quite, but I'd consider it with Hermione."

"Get that image out of my head."

Harry's legs go wobbly.

Ron asks, "Does that help?"

"Sure."

"So, has the holiday seemed fun to you?"

"Of course. Why do you need to ask? I mean I'm spending much time with her."

"Gia's got your balls."

"Hermione has yours."

* * * Bowling * * *

Ron and Harry descend the stairs. They enter the living room.

Linda Granger walks into the house. She says, "Hermione, we're home a bit early. Some people canceled at the last minute."

Kevin Prescott pulls up in his car.

Hermione says, "Mum, Dad, Mr. Prescott offered to take us out for the evening."

Charles says, "Have fun princess. Behave yourselves."

Harry and Ron grab their jackets and stash their wands. Harry grabs his cowboy hat.

Hermione says, "We'll have fun."

Gia, Ron, and Hermione exit the front door first. Harry exits and finds Snuffles outside the door.

Harry says, "Sorry, not tonight. We can watch ourselves. I'll be at Gia's after our outing."

Snuffles whines a bit. Harry gives a pleading look. Snuffles relents and walks around back.

Gia gets into the front seat. Harry, Hermione, and Ron squeeze into the back seat.

Kevin starts driving.

Kevin asks, "Have you ever been bowling?"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione reply, "No."

Kevin says, "Great fun. We do it weekly. Gia's pretty good."

Gia says, "Harry, I'll show you."

They pull up to the Noigate Lanes.

Hermione says, "Are we going to have dinner?"

Kevin replies, "That's the beauty of this. They have a eatery full of various things. We can munch as we bowl."

They enter the establishment. Ron looks around in amazement. Kevin escorts them to the counter.

The man behind the counter says, "Hi Kevin. One lanes tonight?"

Kevin replies, "Yes Bill. I'm treating my daughter and her friends tonight as well."

Bill says, "Okay, lane ten. Do they have shoes?"

Harry says, "We have shoes."

Kevin says, "Not bowling shoes. Yes Bill, they'll need those, and balls of course. Also, they can make use of your food services on my tab."

Bill says, "Certainly. Kids, this way."

Gia protests, "We're not kids."

Bill says, "Whatever."

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Gia fit themselves up with bowling shoes.

Ron says, "They look good on you 'Mione."

Hermione whips, "Very funny."

They pick out bowling balls and head to lane ten. Harry sets down his normal shoes next to his bowling ball.

Harry says, "Gia, I'll get something to munch on first."

Ron and Hermione follow Harry to the food counter. Harry returns with a big plate of nachos and a big soda. Ron returns with a medium sized plate of chicken wings and lemonade. Hermione returns with a salad and mineral water.

Gia whispers into Harry's ear. He chuckles. He says, "Amusing but no."

Kevin finishes a pork rind. He says, "Okay, let me demonstrate."

Kevin grabs his ball. He lines up to the lane and holds the ball in front of his chin. He takes a step forward while swinging his arm down with the ball. Another step forward and he moves the ball along. The ball leaves his hand and travels down the lane. It hits the pins and they all fall.

Gia says, "A strike."

Ron asks, "That's good, right?"

Kevin says, "Yes. It takes practice to strike with consistency."

Harry asks, "Is there a score?"

Gia replies, "Yes. Here." Gia presses the 'Start' button.

Harry says, "Okay, it wants a list of players. That's your Dad, you, me, Ron, and Hermione."

Kevin says, "Only you don't typically use your real names."

Gia enters 'Old Man'.

Harry objects, "I'm not old."

Gia smiles and says, "Dad is."

Kevin enters, 'Baby' for Gia.

Gia protests, "Hey!" She enters 'Cowboy' for Harry.

Harry comments, "Interesting choice."

Gia says, "Hermione, enter something for Ron."

Hermione ponders for a moment and enters, 'Prat'.

Ron says, "Hey!" He enters, 'Pianist' for Hermione.

Hermione glares at Ron.

Kevin bowls a strike.

Gia grabs a ball and gets seven pins.

Harry asks, "So, seven. What next?"

Gia replies, "Once I get the ball back, I try to get the other pins on my second bowl."

Harry says, "Wait, your Dad only took one shot."

Gia bowls again and gets two pins. She says, "Bowl and I'll explain shortly."

Harry gets up and tries bowling the ball. Halfway down it goes into the gutter.

Gia says, "Eww, a gutter ball. Well, better luck on the second attempt."

Harry's ball emerges onto the track. He grabs the ball and bowls again. He knocks down a single pin.

Gia says, "It does take practice. Ron, you're up."

Harry sits with Gia. He says, "Your Dad seems pretty good."

Ron gets up and tries a bowl. He gutters the first attempt.

Gia says, "People from his office bowl several times a week. Dad usually goes along. Occasionally, I go to."

Harry says, "So, how do these rounds go?"

Ron gutters his second attempt.

Gia says, "There are ten frames to a game. If you notice the score sheet..."

"Okay, I see ten spaces per person."

"In each frame you get two chances to knock all the pins down. Knocking all the pins on the first bowl is a strike. On the second bowl, it's a spare."

Harry gives Gia a kiss as she sips the soda. She snorts a bit into the straw. Harry hands her a nacho which she eats. Harry sips on the soda a bit.

Gia continues, "Anyways, for each frame, the score is the number of pins knocked down in that frame. For a strike, add in the next two bowls. For a spare, add in the next bowl. The game score is the sum of the frame scores."

Harry says, "I see they keep a running score."

Hermione is listening. She says, "Thanks for that. I just guttered my first bowl."

Ron says, "'Mione, it's not nice to eavesdrop."

Harry says, "Hermione, lets see how well you do on the second bowl."

Hermione gets a pin on her second bowl.

They continue bowling for three more hours.

* * * Dad -n- Ane * * *

Kevin pulls up to the Prescotts' residence about eleven. Hermione and Ron had already been dropped off. Kevin, Harry, and Gia get out of the car.

Kevin says, "It's nice spending an evening with you two."

Harry says, "Thanks for the evening. That was fun."

Kevin says, "I see that your dog is already waiting for us."

Harry replies, "Yeah, told him that we'd be coming here after bowling."

Kevin says, "You must be one of those who thinks their pets understand them."

Gia says, "Dad, Snuffles seems to."

Harry says, "Like I mentioned, Snuffles is well trained."

They enter the back door of the house. Snuffles sits on a nice sofa near the fireplace.

Ane notices them and says, "Hi Honey!"

Kevin says, "Enjoy your bridge club?"

Gia and Harry climb the stairs and enter Gia's bedroom. Harry closes the door.

Gia faces Harry. They hold hands.

Gia says, "Harry, you can call him 'Dad' if you want to."

Harry replies, "He's not my father."

"I know. Thought it might be nice for you to have a living person to call 'Dad'."

"I appreciate the offer. Dunno, I'd almost call Ron's parents by those."

"You would?"

"Almost. They treat me like Ron to a good degree."

"Scoldings?"

"No. That's why it's almost, not a would."

"The Grangers?"

"Too removed, they're Hermione's parents. Nice hosts."

"Sirius?"

"He is my godfather. But I know him as Sirius. Well, what I call your Dad will depend on him."

Harry and Gia are still holding hands looking at each other. Someone knocks on the door. Harry opens the door. Kevin is there in his bathrobe.

Kevin says, "Gia, Ane hasn't met Harry yet. She's still downstairs for a bit. Why don't you introduce him to her?"

Gia says, "Sure."

Harry and Gia exit Gia's room. Kevin goes into the bathroom. Harry and Gia descend to the living room.

Ane says, "Gia, this must be your Prince Charming."

Harry's face turns a shade pink.

Gia says, "This is Harry. My Noble Prince. Harry, this is Ane."

Harry shakes Ane's hand.

Harry and Gia sit on the sofa with Snuffles. Harry starts stroking Snuffles. Ane sits near them. They chat for twenty minutes. Kevin finishes his shower.

Kevin shouts down the stairs, "Honey, I'm done."

Ane climbs up the stairs.

Gia says, "Harry, you can remove your jacket if you want to."

Harry replies, "Oh yeah. That reminds me."

Harry removes his wand and the baggie. He gets out the pins.

Gia asks, "What are you up to?"

Harry says, "Setting these Portkeys for your entry way."

Snuffles looks at Harry.

Harry says, "I'm setting yours and Dumbledore's for the entry way."

Harry gets up and goes into the entry way.

Gia says, "So, this is what you were doing today."

Harry says, "Yes." He sticks his wand to each Portkeys and mutters, "porta instigo ... porta altera locus ... porta ignavus."

Harry enters the living room. Gia and him climb the stairs and enter Gia's bedroom.

Gia asks, "Do you always carry your wand with you?"

Harry replies, "Yes. Never know when I might need it."

Harry gets out the patches from his baggie.

Gia says, "Patches? Your clothes are fine."

Harry says, "No, Portkeys. The patches will make them discrete. Watch."

Harry grabs the green patch. He taps twice with the wand. It changes into the green metal disk. Harry mutters, "porta instigo ... porta altera locus ... porta ignavus." He taps twice with the wand. It changes back to the green patch. Harry repeats this for the red patch.

Gia says, "Cool."

Harry says, "Yes. I'll be using the green one for commuting."

Gia asks, "The other?"

Harry says, "Give it to Ron, in case there's something urgent at Hogwarts."

"You're setting that to my bedroom?"

"Ron might not be decent. Do you want a naked Ron appearing in the entry way?"

"Well, you could warn him."

"Yeah, but it just seems better for him to get immediate access to me. I really don't mind if Ron sees us doing something kinky."

"He'd tell Hermione and others."

"No he won't. He'll understand that I'll change his for the Slytherin girls' dormitory if he does."

"That's a threat? Girls' dormitory?"

"We really dislike the Slytherins. They've got a damn brothel and probably all have Herpes or something worse."

Harry, now naked, climbs onto Gia's bed. She's there with her panties on, and naked boobs. Harry wraps his right arms about Gia. She lays her head onto Harry's shoulder. Harry draws the covers and they fall asleep.

Ron says, "That was fun." He enters my room. He closes and then locks the door.

I ask, "Never been bowling before?"

Ron says, "No, but at least I beat Harry's score."

I say, "You aren't supposed to walk down the lane!"

Ron says, "He never thought of that."

I undress, leaving on my tank-top bra and panties. Ron undresses to his briefs and walks over to me. We sit on the bed, I'm being cuddled by Ron and I like it.

Ron says, "It's an interesting game. Trying to knock down pins with a ball. It would of been easier using a wand."

I say, "Easier, maybe. If the Ministry showed up ... Hmm..."

Ron's briefs Apparate to the floor. His privates are in my back. He's kissing my neck and is rubbing my sides along the ribs. If I were a cat, I'd purr.

Slowly, he removes my tank top and exposes my boobs. We play for a bit. Eventually, his ears go pink.

Ron eases off a bit. Gradually we slow down. We retract our tongues.

"Felt like I might have used you."

"You care. I let you in and we had fun."

He smiles and kisses me.

"I enjoyed that, but I'm not ready for fucking."

"Neither am I. Still, you do arouse me. Your dick can be fun."

He says, "You're welcome."

I draw the covers. I rotate so I'm staring down into his smiling face. I slide down a bit and use his chest as a pillow. We fall asleep.
