I awake to Snuffles nosing us awake. Dad and Ane have probably already left for work. Harry seems a bit zonked out. I nudge him.
I say softly, "Harry, Harry!"
He's still face down and I'm still on top of him.
I say, "Snuffles, He's still breathing, so he's alive."
Snuffles glares at me like I shouldn't be in this position. Harry still isn't stirring. So I give a yank and force a roll. He stirs.
Harry yawns and asks, "What is it?" Snuffles exits and heads down the stairs.
I say, "It's seven thirty. Time to wake up. I've got school as well."
Harry gets up and heads toward the shower. He comes back ten minutes later. He looks at me with a smile.
He says, "You look wonderful. I must be off."
I say, "You're commuting naked?"
He says, "Not worried."
He grabs his wand and shoes. He activates his Portkey and disappears.
I woke up in the boys dormitory as usual. It's maybe seven forty five or something. As early risers, Neville, Seamus, and Dean don't seem to be here. Harry's bed creaks as it suddenly takes on the weight of him returning.
I say, "Good Morning Harry. Have a nice night?"
Harry says, "Wonderful!" He bounces out of the bed and starts for the door.
I say, "Stop! You're naked. You might want some clothes for the day."
Harry seems to agree. We both get dressed and grab our bags. We head for the Great Hall. We come across Hermione.
Harry says, "Good Morning Hermione! Enjoying ourselves?"
He kisses her on the hand. She takes this in stride. We enter the Great Hall. Harry ignores the insults from Slytherin and we sit at the Gryffindor Table.
Harry says, "Good morning!"
Neville demands, "Good morning? Double Potions first thing."
Without a care, Harry asks, "So?"
Harry grabs some toast and other foods. He proceeds to scarf this down. Errol flops onto the table, takes out my plate, and slides to a stop in front of Harry. Harry removes the letter and hands it to me. Errol flies off. Harry promptly refills his emptied plate.
=== LETTER ====Dear Ron,
It's a boy! Your youngest brother Edward Weasley arrived Sunday night. He's healthy and vibrant. I'll bring him to Hogwarts in a month or two to show you.
Love Mum.PS. Enclosed is a picture.
PPS. Tell your siblings.
================I look at the picture of the squirming tyke. I show Harry who looks thrilled. I pass it to Ginny.
We head down to Potions. Harry is still on cloud nine.
Harry startles Malfoy by saying, "Good morning Draco. Looking forward to Potions?"
Seamus looks stunned by this level of courtesy.
Draco replies in a calm manner, "Certainly."
We enter the classroom. Harry is still bubbly. We get out our essays. Snape passes by while collecting the essays.
Harry does the unimaginable and says, "Good Morning Professor Snape."
The class heard this, half of them were shocked. Snape thumbs through Harry's essay.
With a sneer, Snape says, "Mr. Potter, nice of you to turn in an essay. We'll discuss this one after class."
Malfoy tosses a spit wad toward Harry. Harry ignores this.
We spend the lesson brewing a Wolfbane Potion. Neville melts another cauldron spilling the contents. Snape takes twenty five points for it. Harry does not bother to challenge this.
Snape says, "Not defending Longbottom today? Ten points Mr. Potter."
Harry does not reply. He continues brewing his potion with a smile on his face.
At the end of the lesson, Snape comes over to us.
Snape says, "I see that you're in a good mood, Mr. Potter." Snape is obviously trying to puncture Harry's bubbly attitude. He says, "You seem coordinated, therefore you must not be drunk."
I snicker.
Snape demands, "What is funny Weasel?"
I reply, "Harry is definitely sober."
Snape says, "Five points taken for stating the obvious. Mr. Potter, your essay is a definite improvement. Too good in my opinion."
Hermione says, "He did it himself. We made him do it over the holiday."
Snape says, "I did not ask for your lies Mudblood. Ten points gone."
I shout "How dare you!" A flask on his desk shatters with my rage.
A knife. A six inch knife from Snape's shelves flies. It flies past Snape's head. Harry ducks. The knife shatters on the stone wall in the back of the dungeon.
Snape yells, "Fifty points gone and detention tonight at eight Weasel. LEAVE!"
We quickly gather our things. I ignore the potion that I had spilled onto the floor. We head out the door. We climb the stairs.
I grumble, "Can't believe it. Many point because you're happy and tried to be nice."
Harry says, "Figured that would happen. Interesting experiment, wouldn't you say?" His bubbly attitude seems to have worn off a bit. He continues, "Snape loathes me, regardless of my mood. He takes his hatred of my father out on me." Harry shrugs his shoulders.
After lunch, we enter the Transfiguration classroom. We hand in our essays to McGonagall. She's sitting at her desk. She scans the essay and a thin smile comes to her face.
She says, "Excellent work Mr. Potter. I hope this becomes your rule and not an exception."
Harry says, "Thank you Professor."
Later that afternoon, after Charms, we are climbing toward the Gryffindor Tower.
Seamus asks, "What has gotten into you Harry? You made Snape really furious."
I say, "Romance has improved his mood."
Harry glares at me. Like I'm supposed to keep that secret.
Seamus asks, "Ron, who is she?"
I reply, "Sorry, that is for Harry to announce, and only when he is ready."
Dean asks, "Which one? Harry gotten many of the girls in school. His schedule must be full."
I ask, "You're hoping for one?"
Dean says, "Well, yeah. Can you share Harry?"
We enter the dormitory. Harry and I change into our Quidditch robes and head out for practice. However, Harry takes me on a detour to the kitchen. We enter. The elves quickly surround us.
Harry says, "Hermione is upstairs. Now, can I see Dobby?"
"HARRY POTTER!!!" says a fast approaching elf. Dobby tightly grabs Harry.
Harry wheezes and then says, "Dobby, I'm too busy to have dinner in the Great Hall. Can I get it delivered to the Gryffindor Common Room after practice?"
Dobby says, "Dobby can deliver."
I blurt "He's got a girlfriend."
Dobby's eyes go even wider. He says, "Congratulations Mr. Potter." he says.
Harry says, "Sorry to dash so quickly, practice. Also, guard the food until we arrive."
Dobby bows. We head to the Quidditch pitch.
After Quidditch, we head back to the dormitory. Dobby is already in the Common Room.
Harry says, "Dobby, I need to change first. We'll be back in a moment."
Harry and I dash up the stairs. We change in our dormitory. Harry doesn't take a shower. That's strange. Instead, he grabs his bag and exits. I follow suit. We enter back into the Common Room.
Harry says, "Thank you Dobby. We will eat as we study."
We sit at the table and pull out our books. We start munching and we read. Harry actually seems to focus. This is a first in a while. Hermione enters the Tower about seven. She sees us.
Hermione says, "So this is where you've been hiding."
I say, "We've been studying and eating. We had dinner delivered."
She says, "I can see that!"
Harry says, "I'm done with my Charms essay. How about you Hermione?"
She picks up his Charms essay and scans it. She says approvingly, "Nice for a change."
I ask, "'Mione, trying to cheat?"
She glares at me.
Harry says, "Ron would love it if you join us."
I say, "He's right. Join us and I can do my research on you Hermione."
"Argh! Boys!" She says as she sits down.
I continue working on my essays. After a bit, I look at my watch.
I say, "It's almost eight, guess I have that detention."
I exit and head for the dungeon.
It's about nine when Harry pops into my bedroom. He's dressed in his briefs and T-shirt. Snuffles notices this and exits the bedroom. Celeste and Brian are startled to see Harry here.
Harry says, "Hi Gia. What's the subject?" He sees us on my bed around our books.
I reply, "Medieval History. Harry, this is Brian. Brian, this is Harry. Brian is Celeste's boyfriend."
Brian says, "So you're Gia's mystery boyfriend. We've heard much about you."
Harry sits next to me and peers over my books. He asks, "Witch burnings, eh?"
Celeste says, "Yes. We have to do a report about them."
Harry says, "And they didn't kill a single one."
Brian says, "Today we know better. However, at the time, people believed wizard and witches existed."
Harry says, "Certainly we do."
The lights flicker for a moment. Harry grabs my magician's wand from the nightstand and twirls it about.
Harry asks Brian, "Wonder if you could do anything with this?"
Brian snickers. He says, "Sure I could."
Brian grabs the wand and starts waving it about.
Harry says, "Do something."
Brian says "Hocus Pocus." A bang and smoke come from the tip of that wand. Brian is startled.
Harry says, "Very realistic. It must be from a joke shop."
We all laugh at this.
Brian says, "That was very good. If I didn't know better, I would've sworn that was magic."
I say, "Harry is good with tricks."
Brian looks at Harry and says, "You're quite a prankster. I see why Gia likes you."
Celeste asks, "Harry, isn't St. Marys a boarding school? Aren't you supposed to be there?"
Harry says, "I've got a special arrangement with the Headmaster. I can commute nightly to see Gia."
Brian notes, "That must be some influence."
Harry says, "Not too much. My friend Ron helped in this."
Celeste asks, "Brian and I were wondering Harry, is Snuffles your dog?"
Harry says, "Yes. Snuffles is very protective of me and Gia."
"He definitely scared off that bully, Derek Spaath." says Brian.
I say, "Yes Harry, our Headmaster consented to letting Snuffles follow me around. Dad wrote a note explaining that Snuffles would be protecting me."
Brian says, "With the escalation in terrorism lately, that's a good thing actually."
Harry says, "Terrorism?"
"Yes, those theaters don't burn themselves down at the same time." says Brian.
Harry says, "Sorry Brian, didn't connect for a moment."
I say, "Harry, Snuffles was effective against that Spaath this morning. That bully was trying to steal my ring from my finger and Snuffles pounced on him."
Harry says, "That sounds like Snuffles."
I say, "Well, Mr. Johnson came out to see what the ruckus was. I explained Spaath's attempted robbery. Spaath was suspended for the day."
Brian says, "That's a smart dog there."
"Yeah, well trained." says Harry.
Celeste looks at the clock and says, "It's way late. Could we Gia?"
"Sure. Harry won't mind, will you Harry?" I say.
Harry exclaims, "What? You mean sleep here?"
I say, "Yes." I see his look so I add, "Harry, I've shared a bed with your friends Ron and Hermione because you trust them. I trust Celeste and Brian."
Brian asks, "Hermione? Are you talking about that social reject from primary school?"
"Hermione is not a social reject." Harry says flatly.
"Brian, she managed to catch the two cutest boys from her school." says Celeste. "Two?" asks Brian.
I say, "Yes. She found me Harry and she's dating the other one, Ron."
"She was such a teacher's pet and bookworm." says Brian.
Harry says, "That was until she met me and Ron. She is still a bookworm, but she also has top marks. She does break the rules from time to time."
Celeste says, "That's not the Hermione we knew. She had the rules memorized."
"She's got the rules memorized of course. So we know when we're breaking them." says Harry with a grin.
Brian says, "Can't believe you did what we couldn't. We tried getting her to break any rule, but she wouldn't budge."
Harry snickers and says, "Must be Ron's animal magnetism."
Celeste, Brian, and me strip to our underwear and T-shirts. Harry removes his T-shirt and starts tonguing my neck.
Brian tries this with Celeste. Celeste gets irritated and rips Brian's T-shirt. They start kissing.
I start massaging Harry's buttocks.
I give Harry a hand job. After this, I pull the covers, we relax, and we fall asleep.
I awoke about two in the morning. Harry is stirring, probably in response to the same crashing noise I heard. Brian's stirring a bit. We hear another noise from downstairs. Harry gets up, pulls up his briefs, and sneaks out the door. Snuffles follows Harry. Celeste is still in deep sleep. I wander out of the bedroom after Harry. Brian in his underwear and ripped T-shirt follows me.
"What's he up to?" whispers Brian.
"Dunno." I reply. I realize that my chest is bare. I can tell this excites Brian . However, he lends me his T-shirt.
"What if your Dad saw?" he whispers.
We stumble over a stranger bound in ropes on the stairs. He's got dark clothes and a mask on. A burglar!
We enter the living room, and Harry is looking at another person ransacking the case. Snuffles leaps at the burglar and knocks them over with a loud crash. Quicker than quick, Harry leans over the fellow, and binds the man in ropes.
Dad comes down and sees what's going on.
I whisper, "A burglary. Harry's tied them up."
Dad picks up the phone and dials the police. "Hello? I'd like to report an attempted burglary. ... Yes ... They're still here. ... No, we've managed to tie them up. ... Thanks."
"Some boyfriend Gia." says Brian, impressed.
The police show up quickly. The officer sees the burglars tied up. Harry and Dad help the officer carry out the burglars, still tied up. He takes some statements from us. He takes pictures as he walks about.
Dad grabs Harry and says, "Thank you Harry."
Harry replies, "You're welcome Mr. Prescott."
Dad says, "Hmm, you can call me Kevin."
Harry says, "Um, thanks Kevin."
Dad turns to the three of us. He says, "You should get back to bed."
The officer doesn't object to this. We head back up to my bedroom.
Brian puts his arm about Harry. Brian says, "You were good back there."
My humble prince replies, "Aw, that was nothing spectacular."
Brian says, "Look man, I had reservations when I first heard about you. I've been Gia's friend for years. However, I see that you two are a good match."
We climb back into bed. I say, "Thanks Brian."
Brian whispers to me, "While I noticed your research results earlier, I also heard his nightmare. Beware, he may have some baggage."
I notice Harry fast asleep. I whisper, "Brian, I know about it. His parents were murdered when he was one, he remembers witnessing his Mum's. With me he's happy, probably the happiest since then."
"Sympathy for the orphan?" he whispers.
"That's not the reason. I just love him. He didn't mention his parents until recently. Given his story, I understand." I whisper.
He whispers, "Just be careful Gia. If he's lying to you.."
I cut Brian off. "Brian, he's honest with me, unlike somebody else I know." That got to him. I remember his little scam last year. Celeste remembers it too.
Brian says, "Funny, Harry lending Snuffles to you. Quite useful of course."
I say, "They are both protective of me."
We fall back to sleep.
I hear the creaking of Harry's bed. He must be back. I poke my head out of the curtains around my bed. Harry jumps out of bed.
I ask, "Have fun?". Only fair, mean I have Hermione here and she's topless.
He says, "Absolutely. Oh, be sure to mention to Hermione that Celeste has a boyfriend, Brian."
"Thanks for telling me." says Hermione. She pulls back my curtains.
Harry says, "Ron, you lucky boy. Have fun yourself?"
I look about and notice that Neville, Dean, and Seamus have already left.
I say, "Yes. Know what, you're making the Slytherins furious. Keep it up."
Hermione says, "Snape probably thought you were under the Imperius Curse yesterday. He never seemed more offended."
Harry says, "Well Ron, at least you're getting action in bed."
"What?" exclaims Hermione.
I say, "Sounds like a nice idea."
Harry removes his briefs and streaks into the shower.
"Why aren't you this bubbly?" asks Hermione.
I reply, "Harry hasn't been this happy in probably fourteen or fifteen years. He's intoxicated by it."
After a few minutes, her head is laying on my lap. I remove my briefs so that my privates are in the back of her head.
"Hey you prat!" she says. She gets up and dashes out the door with the invisibility cloak. I get up.
Harry sees this. He says, "Spooking her?"
I throw my pillow and a mean glare at him. Harry snaps his towel at me, and it stung. I grab Harry and force him flat onto his bed, I'm in his face.
"Have you fucked her yet?" I ask.
Seamus had come in. He asks, "'Have you fucked her?' You're asking him that? Glad to see you two are up."
Harry says, "Good morning Seamus."
Harry starts dressing. I head for the shower. When I get out of the shower, Harry and Seamus are talking.
"So, what has gotten into you Harry? I've never seen Snape so disgruntled." says Seamus.
"Seamus, it's quite attractive and has a pair of boobs." I say.
Harry is glaring at me. Seamus gets the drift.
I add, "Harry's been seeing a lot of it lately."
"Keep it up, the Slytherins are having fits." says Seamus.
We head for the Great Hall for breakfast.
