Saturday, Harry appears in the dormitory about nine. Harry is still wearing his wrinkled suit. Ron is there.

"Harry, dressing for travel?" asks Ron.

"Is breakfast still on?" asks Harry, busily changing into his weekend clothes.

"Certainly." says Ron.

Harry says, in a tone that he might as well be describing a normal day, "I have to talk to Dumbledore. There was another attack last night."

Ron says, "Yikes. I take it you're fine."

Harry says, "Of course I'm alright. Nott and Macnair are in trouble. Wormtail escaped."

"Damn it." says Ron.

"Oh, your Dad says Ed's doing fine." says Harry.

"He responded?" asks Ron, as they walk out the dormitory.

"Certainly, bunch of Ministry as well." says Harry.

"Harry, you're the only one I know who summons the Ministry for dates." jokes Ron.

"Ron." says Harry, in a flat tone.

Hermione joins them in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"How was your date?" asks Hermione.

Harry says, "It went fine. How was yours?"

"Harry!" exclaims Hermione as they exit through the portrait hole.

Harry says, "Come on, you two must be up to something. Are you making use of my cloak?"

"It's nothing." says Ron.

Harry asks, "I'm walking between two lovebirds and you claim you're doing nothing? I've seen your bed Ron!"

Ron says, "You see it every night and every morning. Nothing new about that. How about you?"

"You know where I've been sleeping!" says Harry.

George is walking up so he says, "You aren't going to tell, are you? Nice suit."

Hermione says, "A brown nosing pervert like you? Quit dreaming."

Fred says, "George, you ought to be careful around them. They might dampen your optimism."

Harry and Ron chuckle at that.

They continue to jaunt until they enter the Great Hall.

Harry walks up to the staff table and talks to Dumbledore. Harry and Dumbledore head into the Antechamber for a few minutes. Harry emerges happy, and comes over to the Gryffindor table.

"What's up?" asks Ron.

Harry whispers into his ear.

"You got to be kidding." says Ron.

Harry nods.

"What about practice tomorrow?" asks Ron.

"Tell me how it goes." says Harry.

"What's this?" asks George.

"I'm skipping Quidditch practice tomorrow." says Harry.

"You're what? Why?" asks Fred.

Ron says, "He is having better luck than you Fred. He will practice harder during the week."

Fred looks appalled. George is snickering.

* * * Saturday Evening * * *

It is late Saturday evening when Harry appears, naked, into my bedroom. He sets down his backpack and wand onto my desk. Brian and Celeste enter. Celeste blushes at the sight of Harry.

Harry says, "Yes, I'm coming tomorrow."

Brian asks, "Dressed? Not like we're going to complain."

I say, "Harry, they are spending the night here."

"Not a problem." says Harry. He is now straddling me on all with his nut-sack dangling.

Celeste says, "Brian and I are going to watch a movie downstairs. That will give you time on your examinations Gia."

I reply, "Actually, we're going to sleep now." Harry is now laying next to me in the bed.

"Are you certain?" asks Brian.

"Yeah, we're certain." says Harry.

"I can't believe you would turn down the offer Gia." says Celeste.

I say, "We are not ready for sex yet. When we are, we will do it."

"You looked ready there." says Brian.

"We will be ready when we are ready and no sooner." says Harry.

Brian says, "Make certain you don't lose her."

I say, "Brian, Harry will do it when we're ready."

Harry says, "Besides, this bedroom would be the most ordinary of settings for a first fuck."

"Ordinary?" I ask.

Harry says, "Yeah, we need it to be somewhere else. Maybe we'll find a good location or something on our trip this summer."

"Trip?" asks Celeste.

I say, "Hermione, Ron, Harry, and me are traveling across Europe this summer."

"Where to?" asks Brian.

Harry says, "Visit Ron's brother in Romania. But, that's more of a midpoint in the trip."

"Sounds fun." says Celeste.

"Hopefully, yes." I reply.

"Of course we'll have fun." says Harry.

* * * And They're Off! * * *

The four awake about six. They start dressing.

"Suppose a shower's a bit pointless right now." says Harry.

Brian says, "Yes, unless you insist on starting clean."

"Not really." says Harry.

They head to the kitchen. Kevin is already up.

"Having fun today? I need details of what you plan." says Kevin.

"Aww, do we have to?" asks Gia.

Kevin says, "Yes, what if you get injured? Car accident? I mean, I need to know what to tell the police if you don't return by a reasonable time."

Harry says, "Gia, we do need to leave that information with him."

Brian gives the details.

"How do you plan to get there?" asks Kevin.

Brian says,, "Remember that early driving thing? I've got a valid license and my Dad's SUV."

Kevin groans.

Harry says, "We'll be okay."

After breakfast, they head back upstairs to Gia's bedroom. Ron is waiting.

"There you are." says Ron.

"So, why you here? I'm about to leave." says Harry.

"Alicia is mad that you're skipping practice later today." says Ron.

"So? I have attended every practice I could since I joined the team, even Wood's crazy schedule. If I skip a practice, that should not be an issue." says Harry.

"With the upcoming final? Are you crazy?" asks Ron.

"Ron, I will get a better workout hiking than at practice." says Harry.

"Also, Snape is looking for you." says Ron.

"So? He won't find me." says Harry.

"Snape is really on the war-path about this. He wants you today." says Ron.

"I couldn't give a shit about what that asshole wants. He will have to wait until tomorrow." says Harry.

"I'm supposed to fetch you." says Ron.

Harry smiles and says, "You couldn't find me. I'm sorry, but you missed me."

"I'll see if that will fly." says Ron.

Harry says, "Hermione might like a date. You could try the forest."

"I already have that planned." says Ron.

Harry says, "Good Man." and clasps his Hand onto Ron's shoulder.

Brian finishes putting supplies into Harry's backpack. Brian says, "There you go." and hands the backpack to Harry.

Ron sees the backpack and asks Harry, "Have you?" Harry is grinning. Harry and Ron exchange looks.

Brian says, "Ron, the backpack will hold if that's what you're worrying about. It is remarkably light, wish mine was."

"Harry, be careful." says Ron.

"See you tomorrow Ron." says Harry. Brian, Gia, Celeste, and Snuffles exit the room.

"Snape will be mad tomorrow." says Ron.

"Probably, but why worry about it today?" asks Harry. He ducks a friendly punch from Ron.

Ron says, "By the way, Seamus, Dean, and Neville are really getting suspicious about you. Dangerously so."

"We just have to come up with better excuses then." says Harry.

"I will see what I can do, but they are getting awfully close to catching you." says Ron.

Harry says, "We'll find a way to manage."

"Certainly can see that you are." says Ron.

Gia pokes her head in and says, "If you two don't mind, Harry has a car to catch."

"See you later Ron." says Harry.

Ron vanishes.

Sirius, now in the bedroom, says to Harry, "Lupin wrote. There's something he wants me to look into."

Harry says, "Sirius, we will be fine. I mean, nobody will anticipate this about me, will they?"

Sirius says, "No. Take care, and keep your wand with you."

"I always do." says Harry. Harry exits the bedroom and down the stairs.

* * * The "Hike" * * *

Brian drives his Dad's SUV, a blue Jeep Cherokee. They pull up to the trail-head about eight. It is in a nice nature conserve about an hour from Noigate.

Harry and Gia are snogging in the back seat.

Brian says, "Ahem, we're at the trail-head. Are you two going to stay in the car or are you coming?"

"Brian, you want to take their lead." says Celeste.

Brian says, "We will have time along the way."

Harry and Gia get out. Harry puts on his backpack. They head off.

About ten minutes in, Brian grumbles.

"I can't believe it, mind if we stop?" asks Brian.

"Okay." says Harry.

Harry is a bit warm, so he removes his T-shirt and places it into his backpack. Meanwhile, Brian turns away from the trail and pees. They continue hiking. Celeste and Brian are holding hands. Harry has his arm wrapped about Gia.

They're a half hour along the trail when Celeste says, "You two seem quiet ."

"We don't always talk." says Harry.

"That's easy to guess." says Brian, now shirtless.

Celeste seems to be overheating because she removes her shirt, exposing her bra.

Harry asks, "Before you get too far, what about the decency laws?"

Brian replies, "Those are never enforced up here." Brian looks at his thermometer and says. "No wonder it feels hot, it's in the upper eighties already."

Brian removes his shorts leaving only his bikini underwear. Gia removes her shirt as well, leaving her tank top.

"Dare you." says Harry to Brian.

Brian thinks about this and then shakes Harry's hand. Brian says, "Okay. Save the shoes."

Brian removes his underwear. Harry removes his shorts and briefs. Gia and Celeste are giggling.

"We can't believe you two talked yourselves into this." says Celeste.

"Celeste, better be quiet before Brian talks you into it." says Gia.

After some more walking, they reach the top of the hill about nine.

Brian says, "That felt great! Celeste, you should try it naked too."

"You would've enjoyed it." says Celeste, grabbing Brian's nut-sack.

"Of course I would, just like you enjoyed seeing me." says the grinning Brian.

They walk over to the backside of grassy knoll, it's facing south. Brian lays out a very big towel, more than enough for the four of them. They lay down to sunbathe on the towel. Gia and Celeste strip naked.

Brian gets out some sunscreen and asks, "Celeste, want to apply it to me?"

Celeste snorts.

Brian says, "Harry, there is some in your pack. Use it unless you like sunburns."

Harry reaches for his pack and grabs the sunscreen. He first applies it to Gia.

Brian says, "Stuff is good for tans."

Gia says, "Yeah, we should have told you about this place."

Harry says, "Would've come anyways. Though I might have invited Ron and Hermione. They've been doing a lot to help me spend time with Gia."

"Six seems too crowded." says Celeste.

Gia says, "Harry, be sure to cover everything." Gia rolls over and Harry does her backside.

Harry hands Gia the lotion bottle and Harry lays down. Gia applies this to Harry, and she gets everything.

Brian, now relaxed, says, "Don't forget to turn every so often."

"Harry, if you have to pee, go downhill, not uphill. On the grass is fine." says Celeste.

"How long have you guys been coming here?" asks Harry.

Gia says, "Several years. This is close by, the walk is quick, and not too many people know about this use."

Brian says, "Worst thing that's ever happened was last summer when that group of boy scouts came across us."

"What happened?" asks Harry.

"Their leader chased the kids away and gave us a yelling, that's all." says Celeste.

"They should have heeded the bra hanging by the sign back there." says Brian.

"Usually, it's less crowded than the beach." says Gia.

Harry is massaging Gia's back as they lay there.

* * * Snape on the War Path * * *

Ron is walking toward the kitchens after Quidditch practice. He hears voices approach so he ducks behind the nook in the wall.

Draco is complaining, "Father said another activity was botched. His associates say something else is amiss. They can't believe Nott got caught. Still, father is interested about Harry Potter's new happiness. Wants us to find the source."

"Girlfriend?" asks Crabbe.

Draco mocks, "Doh, you think hard don't you?" and then says, "A girlfriend can't be it. I mean, you fuck and that's all. Fifteen minutes a day does not explain it and there are only so many girls a guy can fuck in a day."

"What else could it be?" asks Goyle.

"How should I know? Something illegal maybe." says Draco, fading out of range.

Ron continues to the painting. He tickles and enters the kitchen. Immediately a bunch of elves approach.

"Harry Potter! No, noble Ron Weasley!" says Dobby flying at Ron. "Where is Harry Potter?"

"Very busy." says Ron.

"Harry Potter's bed has not been slept in for a while." says Dobby.

"Like I said, busy. You know what teenage wizards can be like." says Ron

"Dobby is still concerned." says Dobby.

"Don't be. Harry is busy and that is making him happy." says Ron.

"Good to hear." says Dobby.

Ron makes arrangement for the picnic basket he wants.

"Noble Weasley, you too?" asks Dobby.

"Yes." says Ron.

Ron leaves the kitchens and heads back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Hermione would be waiting.

"Weasley! Where is Potter?" says a greasy voice. Ron turns to face Snape.

Ron says, "Harry is currently unavailable. He will be at Potions tomorrow, in case you're worried."

Snape says, "Hardly. I do not appreciate Potter being this elusive."

"I tell Harry the next time I see him."

"The Headmaster is under the illusion that you could get Mr. Potter."

"I tried, but I missed him." says Ron.

"Weasley, I want to know his location, NOW!"

"Sorry, but I can not divulge that information to you."

Snape's eyes flash and says, "I want to know NOW."

Ron replies, "I'm sorry, but I will not reveal that. You want him dead."

Snape's eyes flash and he shouts "Ten points, Weasley. Now, I want to know NOW!"

Ron says, "Make it ten thousand if you want, I am not betraying Harry.

"And detention."

Ron says, "Revealing that information will kill Harry. Therefore, I am not saying."

Lupin walks up and says, "Severus, stop this badgering."

"Remus, I simply want to know the whereabouts of Mr. Potter." says Snape.

Ron replies, "So do a bunch of Death Eaters!"

"Severus, unless you have a very good reason, you are not to be informed." says Lupin.

"I have things to discuss with Mr. Potter." says Snape.

Lupin says, "Like I said, you need a very good reason. If Mr Weasley says Mr. Potter is unavailable, then Mr. Potter is unavailable."

"Do I have to schedule an appointment to speak with Potter?" asks Snape in disbelief.

Ron says, "Yes, or, talk to him after Potions tomorrow."

"Severus, unless you wish Mr. Potter dead, you will not pressure Mr. Weasley about this." says Lupin.

"I do not wish Mr. Potter dead." says Snape.

"Funny way of showing it." says Ron.

Lupin says, "Stop this childish bickering. Severus, Mr. Malfoy will serve his detention in place of Ron. Ron, I do want to talk to you."

"Remus, teachers can not do that." says Snape.

Lupin says, "Mr. Malfoy owes me a detention. I may assign him as I please. In this case, he will serve the detention that you unjustly assigned Mr. Weasley."

Snape is appalled and says, "This is not proper."

"Just like trying to force somebody to endanger their friend's life?" asks Lupin.

Ron says, "Stop this bickering. It's worth five points from each of you."

Snape stops. Lupin tugs Ron along. Ron and Lupin enter his office.

"Yes Professor?' asks Ron as he sits down.

"Care for some tea?" asks Lupin. Ron nods. Lupin pours some tea and sits down.

"I assume you want to talk about Harry?" asks Ron.

Lupin says, "Yes. Where he is for a start."

Ron says, "Harry is hiking with Gia and a couple of her friends. Exactly where, I didn't ask."

"Understand why Snape is upset?" asks Lupin.

"Certainly, but Snape's record is against him. He leaked the fact that you're a werewolf to the students. He hates Harry. So, what else will he leak?" asks Ron.

"Most of the teachers are starting to feel like they need appointments to see Harry. Severus is just the first to really confront you about him." says Lupin.

"Do the teachers make it a habit to request a conference when students are in bed?"

"No. They just do not like this stonewalling that you have been doing. I do understand why you're doing it and you have my support. However, the teachers are getting frustrated."

"Weird. In most of our time here, teachers never bothered with late night appointments. Unless of course students were sneaking about."

"Snape and the others do like knowing where students are. After all, if something happened, the parents hold us responsible." says Lupin.

"Well, with Harry, need I say? Still, this is better for Harry." says Ron.

"Are you certain? I'm starting to get my doubts. I know his marks are improving. But that incident last week? And flying out the window?"

"This girlfriend is good for Harry. Anybody who cares about Harry will not interfere with it."

"How can you say that? For this to continue, Dumbledore and I must be convinced."

Ron stares at Lupin and says, "Lupin, if you nix the arrangement, Harry will not be able to confront Voldemort. Do you want that?"

"What are his plans for the summer?" asks Lupin.

Ron replies, "Harry will not be return to the Dursleys. The plans right now are confidential. Oh, the Malfoys are puzzled by Harry's sudden happiness."

"Do not distract me. I still am concerned about Harry's behavior."

"So am I. However, if you make Harry choose between the girlfriend or Hogwarts, you may as well expel him now."

"What if she dumps him?" asks Lupin.

"Harry could probably handle that much better than you or Dumbledore nixing it. It's serious between the two."

"Well, I'm going to need to talk to Harry. Do you schedule his appointments?"

Ron chuckles and says, "No, talk to Harry later this week."

"Did Malfoy guess a girlfriend?" asks Lupin.

"Malfoy figures that's a part of it. You know how Slytherins view girls, they think there's more to it."

"Well, you had better enjoy the rest of the weekend."

Ron gets up and exits Lupin's office.

"There you are!" says Hermione, coming up to Ron.

"I had a talk with Lupin." says Ron.

"Dobby stopped by with this." she says, holding up the picnic basket.

"Yes, Lunch." says Ron.

Hermione asks, "Lunch? That's in a few minutes."

Ron says, "Not for us. We're going outside."

Hermione says, "A romantic. Might I ask where to?"

"Not yet." says Ron, leading Hermione outside.

* * * Lotion and Things * * *

Around one, Brian's stomach growls. Gia's stomach growls along with Celeste. Harry is hungry, but not this famished.

Brian says, "Lunch?"

"Sure." says Harry.

They get out the bologna sandwiches from their packs. Harry and Gia start eating theirs.

Brian however, places a sandwich near his dick and asks Celeste, "Interested?"

Celeste grabs the remaining sandwich from the pack and says, "Brian, if you want to play with your food, that's your affair. Just eat it afterward."

Harry grabs a banana, and places it next to his dick and asks, "Gia, like my banana?"

Gia exclaims, "Boys! Acting your age I suppose."

Gia grabs the banana, peels it, and then eats it. Harry enjoys a banana.

Harry grabs the bottle of sunscreen. "This stuff says every four hours." he says.

Gia grabs the bottle and applies it to Harry. Harry grabs the bottle and applies it to Gia.

Harry takes a big drink of water from his canteen. He passes it to Gia who takes a drink. Gia gets up to move a bit downhill over the grass. Harry tags along. Gia crouches.

Gia says, "I'm going to pee."

"Great." says Harry, who lays down to get a full view.

"Why are you watching?" asks Gia.

Harry says, "Everything about you is fascinating, including how you pee. You've watched me do it."

"Fine." says Gia. Gia pees, splatters Harry a bit. She asks, "Satisfied?"

"Yes." says the grinning Harry.

Gia walks back to the towel and lays down. Harry walks back and notices Gia's irritation. Harry lays down.

"Gia." says Harry.

"What pervert?" says Gia.

Harry says, "With you, yes. We've shared our juices and everything. You've watched me pee. How is this different?"

"You gawked." says Gia.

"You have gawked at me!" says Harry.

"This is different." says Gia.

"How is it different?" asks Harry.

"It just is." says Gia.

Harry straddles Gia on all fours. He lets his nut-sack dangle when he says, "Gia, I find you attractive. Gawking is a part of that. I love it when you gawk at me."

"How about crapping?" asks Gia.

Harry says, "I dunno about watching you. If you want to see me crap, that's fine."

"Are you certain?" asks Gia.

Harry lays onto Gia and says, "Gia, if you are truly uncomfortable with me gawking as you pee, then I am out of line. I'm sorry."

"It was a bit kinky." says Gia.

"So, did I just push your comfort level a bit?" asks Harry.

"Yeah." says Gia.

"Well, can we continue pushing that?" asks Harry.

"Sure." says Gia.

Harry and Gia kiss a bit.

"Do you two need some privacy?" asks Brian.

Harry says, "No, we're just showing off."

"Interesting ideas you two." says Celeste.

"What? Watching you pee? crap?" asks Brian.

"Maybe." says Celeste.

"Gia, we're contagious." says Harry. Gia smiles.

"Harry, when do you think you'll be ready?" asks Gia.

"Dunno. It's like there's something left to be done." says Harry, as he lays next to Gia and sunbathes his dick.

"What is the thing?" asks Gia.

Harry says, "Dunno. Just I'll know when I do it. Hard to explain."

"Something is definitely hard." says Gia, massaging Harry's loin.

Harry says, "It will happen. I promise that."

Gia kisses Harry. They lay there enjoying the sunshine.

* * * Pond Date * * *

Ron leads Hermione to the pond in the forest.

"We never finished this." says Ron.

"It's lovely." says Hermione.

Ron goes to the farther side of the pond and sits on a grassy bank. Hermione follows. Ron opens the basket and takes out the cloth. He spreads it out. He removes the contents and set them down. Ron removes his shirt.

"Compliments of Dobby." says Ron.

Hermione says, "It is cloudy and chilly. I wonder how Harry's doing?"

Ron says, "Dunno. Right now, I'm not worrying about Harry." He looks into Hermione's eyes and says, "It's the beauty in you that I'm looking at."

"The talk with Lupin though." says Hermione.

Ron says, "Oh sure, he asked about Harry. I want to focus on you right now."

"Why me?" asks Hermione.

Ron says, "Why not? I worry enough about Harry."

"Well, Harry is the focus of the rumors flying about the school." says Hermione.

"And we know why, don't we?" asks Ron.

"Well, yes." says Hermione.

"Then I want to focus on you and me." says Ron. He gives Hermione a kiss.

Ron forks the salad and brings some of the lettuce up to Hermione's mouth.

"What?"

"Aren't you hungry?" asks Ron.

"Certainly, but I'm not an invalid." says Hermione.

"Of course you're not. I thought this would be a bit different." says Ron. Hermione accepts.

They eat the lunch like this. Ron feeds Hermione. Hermione feeds Ron. They then try the pumpkin juice. Hermione tries to pour juice into Ron's mouth, but spills a bit of it down Ron's front.

"Sorry." says Hermione.

"It's okay." says Ron, wiping his front.

Hermione bares her chest in case Ron goofs. Ron tries, at first he's successful, but then juice dribbles a bit down her chest. Ron licks Hermione's chest clean including the bit on her boobs.

"Maybe we should stick to feeding for a while." Ron suggests.

"We just need more practice some other time." says Hermione, buttoning her top back together.

Ron shivers a bit and puts his shirt back on. They finish drinking the pumpkin juice. Ron places the cloth and dishes back into the basket.

Ron presses onto Hermione a bit. They snog for a couple of hours.

* * * Stunning Act * * *

Its about three. Ron and Hermione have returned the basket to Dobby and they are climbing the stairs for Gryffindor Tower. McGonagall emerges from the Portrait Hole. She sees Ron and Hermione approaching.

"My goodness! You two are safe." says McGonagall.

Ron and Hermione look at the Fat Lady's portrait. It appears to have been blasted through.

"What happened?" asks Ron.

McGonagall replies, "I went to see Miss Spinnet about this practices this week. I found the portrait like this and most everybody inside stunned. Where have you been?"

Hermione says, "We enjoyed a picnic on the grounds. We were occupied for hours."

"Where is Mr. Potter?" asks McGonagall.

"Harry is elsewhere." says Ron. Ron gives a look to McGonagall.

McGonagall says, "The Tower has been searched, but there is no sign of the culprit. Pomfrey says everybody inside will be sore but fine."

"Do you know what they were after?" asks Ron.

McGonagall says, "Our best guess is the two of you and Mr. Potter. Only your two dormitories were touched. Now, I have a head count to complete."

Ron asks, "Did Snape attack?"

McGonagall says, "Goodness no, Mr. Weasley. Good day to you." She quickly walks off.

Ron and Hermione enter to find their fellow Gryffindors lying stunned on the sofas, in the chairs, at the desks, and on the stairwell. Ron and Hermione enter the fifth year boys dormitory. Seamus is lying on the floor and is starting to recover.

"Hi Seamus." says Ron.

"Ron, where have you been? We weer attacked." says Seamus.

"I know, McGonagall seemed a bit edgy when we met her. What happened?" says Ron.

Seamus says, "Some hooded stranger showed up and demanded to know where you two and Harry were. I didn't know."

Ron says, "Good, then you weren't in a position to reveal it."

Seamus rolls his eyes. "Having fun?"

"Buzz off." says Ron. Ron grabs his bag. Ron and Hermione exit the dormitory and head back to the Common Room.

* * * Back to Noigate * * *

The sun is starting to set. Brian gets up.

"Um, it's about time that we take off. I know we are enjoying ourselves, but it's going to be dark soon." says Brian.

Harry and Gia are snogging.

"Hey lovebirds, Celeste and I are going to leave now. Do you need a ride?" asks Brian.

"Certainly." says Harry. He is still snogging Gia.

"You two are unbelievable. Do we have to drag you?" asks Brian.

"Probably." says Gia. Harry and Gia get up.

"Gia, we could fly instead." says Harry.

"Yeah right." says Brian in disbelief.

They pack their things. Harry double checks his pack making sure he got everything. They put on their shoes and start hiking back.

Gia's a bit tired. So Harry has Gia sit on his shoulders, her crotch is pressing against the back of his neck. Harry gets a bit excited.

"Celeste, can I do that with you?" asks Brian.

"No." says Celeste.

They reach the parking lot and are still naked. Harry puts Gia down.

"Alright, had better get dressed before we leave." says Brian.

They put on their clothes and get into the SUV.

They talk as Brian drives back.

"How often do you do that?" asks Harry.

"During the summer, several times a month. This was the first time this year." says Brian.

"Do you always sunbathe nude?" asks Harry.

"No, in fact that was our first time starkers. Normally, it's with at least underwear. Occasionally Celeste or Gia go topless." says Brian.

"That was fun today." says Celeste.

"No tan lines." says Gia.

"That's for certain." says Brian.

"I even moved the ring about to get nicely under it." says Gia. Harry kisses Gia's finger.

After a bit more driving, they pull up in front of the Prescott residence.

Brian says, "Harry, it was fun to have you along. We will likely do something next month as well."

Harry says, "I'd like that. Thanks."

Harry and Gia exit the SUV. Harry grabs the backpack and closes the door. Brian drives off.

Snuffles is waiting outside the house. His nose does a double take when he sniffs Harry and Gia.

Harry says, "It's okay, it's sunscreen."

Harry and Gia enter the house and proceed to the bedroom.

Gia says, "Shower because sunscreen will give you pimples if you don't wash it off regularly."

Harry strips and dashes for the shower.
