Harry opens the door to the Prefects' Bathroom. Harry, Gia, and Hermione enter. Ron pauses and hangs a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the outside of the door. Ron enters and closes the door.

Gia says, "It's still amazing."

Harry says, "Yes. It's nice to show you, my love."

Ron sets down his pack. He walks over to the pool taps.

Hermione says, "I like those blue bubbles."

Harry sets down his pack next to Ron's. Harry starts playing with the taps with Ron.

* * * Dicks * * *

Gia mutters, "Boys."

Hermione whips, "Duh, yes."

Harry snaps back, "We're not just a pair of dicks."

Hermione pulls down Harry's pants. She hums a bit.

Ron shouts, "'Mione!"

Hermione replies, "I see a dick, don't you?"

Gia says, "I do, my cool boyfriend's. Hermione, no stealing."

Harry says, "Hermione, Gia has dibs on my dick." Harry tosses his pants over to his pack.

Ron says, "Harry, should I cut you in two? One for Gia and one for Hermione? Maybe replication?"

Hermione says, "What? I never..."

Ron snaps, "Going for a dick collection?"

Harry says, "Are you two fighting over my dick? Ron, I am straight. Hermione, be careful."

Gia says, "She's after the both of your dicks." Gia tosses her clothes on top of Harry's pants.

Hermione says, "Be careful, these two can collaborate."

Harry and Ron exchange looks. Harry pulls down Hermione's pants and underwear. Ron removes her shirt and bra. Harry grabs her legs and Ron grabs her arms.

Ron says, "'Mione, you're right."

Harry and Ron toss Hermione into the now full bath.

Hermione shouts, "You prats!"

Harry says, "Ron, let's join them."

Ron removes his shirt. Harry removes his shirt.

Gia asks, "What makes you think we'll let you in the pool?"

Harry goes to his pack and rummages around in it. Ron finishes stripping. Harry brings out four crystal glasses, a bottle of white wine, and a bottle of champagne.

Harry says, "Well, Ron and I could drink these ourselves."

Hermione snaps loudly, "You two went too far."

Ron says, "'Mione, you started it."

Harry says, "I didn't realize you all were that interested in my dick. Gia, Ron, and Hermione want to give me blow-jobs or something."

Hermione snorts, "Umph!"

* * * Swim/Drink * * *

Harry asks, "Gia, mind holding my crystal glass?" Not waiting for an answer, Harry places the interior of the crystal glass onto Gia's right boob. The suction from the wet skin holds it.

Harry sets the bottles of wine and champagne on the side of the pool. He wades in.

Hermione says, "Drinking and swimming can be hazardous."

Ron snaps, "With you present? No."

Gia says, "Swimming drunk is bad. We'll keep it light, like last time."

Harry pours champagne into three of the crystal glasses and hands them around. He grabs his glass and fills it. He sets the bottle onto the side.

Harry says, "If it bothers you, Ron will be happy to drink your share."

Hermione goes, "Hmph! I'm stuck with you two!"

Ron snaps, "No you're not. You like us."

Gia says, "Overall, they're good."

Hermione says, "Gia, these two like humiliating me."

Harry replies, "Among us but not others."

They start sipping and sit along on the submerged bench in the pool.

Harry swims a couple of laps of the pool. Ron swims, chasing Harry. Ron catches Harry by the legs. They plunge under the water. After a brief wrestle, they emerge momentarily.

Gia says, "Sexual revolution in progress."

Hermione says, "They're boys."

Harry grabs Ron about the waist and drags him back under the water.

Gia says, "Are they tickling each other?"

"Fun to watch!" says a voice.

Hermione turns and notices Myrtle. She says, "Hello Myrtle. This is Gia, Harry's girlfriend."

Gia says, "Hi Myrtle. Have you been watching long?"

Myrtle giggles.

Hermione says, "Myrtle spied on Harry last year."

Myrtle protests, "I do not spy!" She plunges into the pool splashing Gia and Hermione with water. Myrtle slips back into the drain.

Gia says, "Bad temper."

Hermione replies, "She's in a good mood right now. Normally, she haunts a toilet in the girls' second floor bathroom. That's why it's out of order."

Harry and Ron surface once again. This time, they swim to Hermione and Gia.

Harry says, "Hermione, I apologize. I should not have stripped you or tossed you in the bath. That was a bit overboard."

Ron says, "Me too."

Hermione ponders that.

Gia says with a wink, "Hermione, you have two naked guys apologizing."

Hermione then says, "Wonder what the paper will read tomorrow?"

Harry says, "Well, unless Rita distributes more child pornography, dunno."

Ron says, "We toss you into the bath and you're worrying about that damn paper!"

Hermione's eyes flash.

Gia says, "Well, what if we had tossed you two in?"

Harry says, "Ron, Hermione won't accept an apology. She liked us doing that."

Ron says, "Okay, that'll work too."

Harry says, "Ron, we've been successful. We managed to get her caught naked on that trail and on the front page of the Daily Prophet."

Hermione snaps back, "Conspirators to the end!"

Ron says grinning, "Thanks 'Mione."

Hermione shoves Ron backward. Ron falls back into the water with a big splash. He's under for a half minute before he comes back up. He spews out water onto Hermione.

Hermione places her fingers onto her cheeks. She mockingly says, "I'm sooo sorry."

Gia says, "That wasn't funny."

* * * Mum and Murder * * *

Both Harry and Ron are now sitting on the submerged bench. Hermione and Gia are to their sides.

Harry says, "Gia, what about the fall? Noigate or Hogwarts?"

Ron says, "It's cool having her here."

Hermione starts scolding, "Ron!"

Gia cuts in, "Thanks. I haven't really decided yet. I'm leaning for Noigate."

Harry says, "Noigate, I like the commute."

Ron spurts out a bit of water. He says, "What? You're proposing that again?"

Harry says, "Yes. Think Dumbledore will entertain it?"

Gia asks, "Are you certain?"

Harry replies, "Well, it is nice having you tag at Hogwarts, but you still need an education."

Hermione says, "Correspondence courses."

Ron whips, "Try Care of Magical Creatures via correspondence. Dragon eggs in the mail."

Gia says, "Hmm, well school doesn't resume until the fall."

Harry says, "Okay, whatever you want. We know how to make Portkeys. So, Ron, how are you holding up?"

Ron asks, "What? Can't you see?"

Harry says, "Your Mum, it's been two weeks."

Gia asks, "Harry, aren't you being a bit tactful?"

Harry replies, "Perhaps, but still, it's not easy to talk about."

Ron replies, "Well, her murderer has been killed. We've tossed his son and cohorts out of a window in the Gryffindor Tower, all naked. So, what do you think?"

Hermione asks, "Would you have murdered Lucius in revenge?"

Ron says, "Might have if it weren't for Dad."

Harry says, "But still, you murdered for Hogwarts and you intentionally kept me from participating in them."

Ron says, "Well, you didn't want to kill. So, I assume it when necessary."

Harry says, "No, it's more. You've been insisting on Gia and me sticking together. I love that of course."

Hermione says, "Ron...."

Ron replies, "Let's see, you love Gia and you hate killing. As a friend, I can't impose that on you."

Harry picks a bit more and says, "Ron, it's much more than that, are you trying to say you're gay?"

Hermione snorts, "What? I assure you Harry, Ron is not that."

Ron says, "Harry, is it wrong to help a friend?"

Harry says, "Of course not, it's more than that."

Ron says, "That's all it is, friendship"

Ron looks at Hermione and winks. She and Gia get up and sit on one of the reclining chairs on the pool deck.

* * * Ron's Act * * *

"What?" exclaims Harry.

Ron grins and asks, "You do want to fuck her, don't you? Last night you just about..."

"When I'm ready, yes."

"Will you be ready before she decides to move on?"

"Umm.... She'll wait."

Ron stares into Harry's eyes. Ron says, "No she won't, not indefinitely. You know that and I know you still have issues."

Harry protest, "I do not have issues."

"Then, why are you claiming not to be ready? You've admitted issues before!"

Harry tries a dodge and says, "Your issue of your Mum is more important."

Ron says, "Yes, it will affect me. Yes, I will have to deal with that. I have you and Hermione for help when I need it. When I have nightmares, Hermione will assist."

"You're having nightmares over it?"

"Not that I know of, but you do."

"I do not have nightmares. Your Mum was murdered in front of you!"

"And you Harry. Now, look at Gia over there and her pussy that she is letting wait for you, for the moment."

Harry looks at Gia.

Ron says, "Unless you want to lose her, you have issues to address. The girls gave us space on this."

Harry starts squirming away. Ron grabs Harry around the torso. Harry struggles a bit. Ron and Harry plunge downward into the water. They wrestle a bit and then resurface. Gia and Hermione dress and leave the bathroom.

Harry exclaims, "You pervert!"

Ron asks, "When will you be ready to fuck? End of the summer? Next year? Never?"

"I'll be ready when I'm ready and not with you!"

"What do you need to do?"

Harry says, "Dunno. Why have you been holding out on me?"

Harry pulls Ron down into the water. They wrestle a bit more before surfacing.

Harry says, "What does Dr. Weasley think?"

Ron asks, "Unless you'd rather deal with Madam Pomfrey...."

"Madam Pomfrey? You'd call her because I'm not fucking yet?"

Harry starts to climb out of the bath. Ron grabs him and pulls him back into pool.

Ron says, "You want to talk about Mum, fine. Let's talk about her."

Harry says, "You touched my dick when you grabbed for me! You enjoyed that!"

They sink again, and wrestle under the water. Finally, they emerge and Ron pushes Harry onto the bench, forcing him to sit. Ron sits, straddling Harry's legs. Ron places his elbows of his crossed arms onto Harry's shoulders.

Harry says sarcastically, "So, trying to make your moves?"

"This is about you, not me."

"I can tell. Is Hermione aware of this?"

"She knows what I'm up to. Now, we will discuss you."

Harry says sarcastically, "What's there to discuss? You need therapy for your sexual identity problem."

"You're letting Voldemort win."

"In case you didn't realize it, Voldemort has left Hogwarts."

"But not you. He been trying to kill you, now you're doing it."

"Preposterous!"

"Fifteen years ago, he decides to kill you. Each time he misses you, he gets somebody else; your parents, Cedric, Brian, Celeste, Mum, and others."

"It's taken you fifteen years to learn my story?"

"No, it's taken me years to figure out your death wish."

Harry exclaims, "Ridiculous!"

"You leap at Voldemort. You drank the poison. You intentionally flirt with death."

"Oh not that again! Snape was there! You were there!"

"Yes, and you intentionally took that poison. You were only moments away from dying! Look Me, Hermione, and Gia would be traumatized if you succeed in a damn suicide!"

"I'm not trying for one. Snape tried to murder me!"

"I don't buy that. Snape is mean, but he won't kill. You drank that poison so it'd look like a murder."

"You meddling fool.."

"Giving you a will to live is meddling? Shit, do it now then. Need your wand?"

"What?"

"You seem intent on killing yourself. So, do it while I watch, now."

"You're fucking crazy!"

Ron says, "Think about it, no more dealing with Snape. You've stunned yourself, you've poisoned yourself, you tempted those Death Eaters to kill you. You're seeking death. Therefore, do it now and get it over with."

Ron summons his wand and shoves it into Harry's right hand.

Ron continues, "Now, I know you may have problems with your wand, so use mine. Do it and all your problems disappear. Voldemort will thank you. Do it!"

Harry points the wand at his head.

"Do it!" shouts Ron.

Harry hesitates for a moment, shaking a bit.

"Oh come on, you want to! One curse, that's it!" Ron yells.

The wand tip glows green. Ron yanks on the wand just in time. The green bead of light of a Killing Curse emerges, skims an inch away from both Harry's and Ron's heads, and the light hits the ceiling. Ron finishes yanking his wand from Harry and tosses it onto the deck.

Harry wrenches free of Ron's grasp. Harry dives into the water and lets himself sink. Harry exhales and Ron dives after Harry. Ron pulls Harry out just after Harry inhales a breath of water. Ron gives Harry the Heimlich Maneuver and water spews out. Ron drags Harry onto the pool deck. Ron lays on top of Harry and stares at him in the bottle green eyes.

"Oh, so you want to fuck first? Is that it?" Harry insinuates.

"Crap! Is it too much to ask you to live?" asks Ron.

"It's none of your damn business!"

"When you needlessly endanger yourself, it is my business. You have a death wish, you've just shown that."

"I do not! I want to get back to Gia!" protests Harry.

"Just a minute ago, you tried to kill yourself. I cannot let you return to her while you're this unstable."

"I did not and I'm perfectly fine."

"Bullshit! You're lying yet again. You are not fine. You're now a suicidal maniac! Voldemort would love that!"

"Voldemort has nothing to do with me!"

"He has everything to do with you. Because of him, your parents were murdered. Because of him, you went to the Dursleys. Because of him, Cedric was murdered. Because of him, Ginny got tricked into that damn snake. Because of him, my Mum was murdered. Because of him, Brian and Celeste were killed. Need I elaborate?"

"Voldemort did not kill Brian and Celeste, nor your Mum."

"But, would the Malfoys have been that bold without him? Would Lucius have had the chance without him? Voldemort's out to get you and he doesn't care who else gets hit. He employs minions to help; your parents, Cedric, and Mum were caught in his devices."

"Still, I'm over that, I'm fine."

"No you're not."

"Dumbledore said to let me deal with those in my own way."

"You ain't dealing with them. It's killing you. I'm fucking tired of watching you try to kill yourself."

"Don't watch then. Leave."

"I can't abandon you. You'd screw things up and succeed in suicide. Gia would be devastated."

Harry protests, "I have to pee!"

"Then pee! You ain't getting out of this that easy. Voldemort is crushing you."

"No, you're crushing me right now."

"Bull! I weigh about the same as Gia. Now, you are drowning in misery."

"Misery? I've got Gia!"

"She's helping you, why else do you think I've been so adamant with the teachers? What if you drive her away with this?"

"That's the hell you meant by interference! Gia is mine."

"Interfering to keep you happy, that's what! You have legitimate issues to resolve before you can fuck Gia!"

"Such as your perversion for me?"

"Your parents for one."

"You're after them? Hate to tell you, they're dead."

"So I've heard. I remember you describing those memories the demeantors drew up. I've heard your mutterings during your nightmares."

"Nightmares? I don't have nightmares."

"Several times a week, you do. Sometimes its every night. Gia's noticed as well. You had a big one last night and wet your bed!"

"Conspiring behind my back?"

"Voldemort said things about your parents. Our first year, what did he say?"

"You're prying."

"What did he say? You've mentioned about him stating your parents didn't have to die. Spew it out."

"Yes, he did mention that."

"And you believed him, didn't you?"

"No."

Ron says, "Yes you do. It's in some of your nightmares. Now, that jerk could have been lying and he might have just killed them anyways. You've seen how he has no regard for anybody save his own neck."

Harry says, "You're fucking annoying."

"Answer the damn questions. Did Voldemort say he was after you?"

"Yes."

"Did Voldemort say that your parents didn't have to die?"

"Yes."

"Do you think you brought death to your parents?"

"What?"

"Harry, spit it out. I guarantee you, Pomfrey would be much worse."

"You're still threatening that?"

"Shit! What have we been discussing? You need help. It's either me or her. Now, do you believe that you brought about your parents' deaths?"

"No."

"You're lying."

"What the fuck?"

"Harry, I can tell when you lie."

"Mind reading is a fraud!"

"No shit! But, I can spot your lies. Now, you do believe it, don't you?"

"Stay the fuck out of my business!"

"It's my business when my friend attempts suicide. Now, do you believe it?"

"Yes." admits Harry.

"Could Voldemort have been lying? Might he have killed them anyways? Has he lied before?"

"Well, yes."

"Could you be wrong to believe him then?"

"What?" says Harry, sarcastically.

"Harry, are you wrong to believe Voldemort?"

"Possibly."

Ron asks, "Since your first year encounter, you've been pummeling yourself with it. Now, Cedric. Are you responsible?"

"Voldemort murdered Cedric."

"That's not what I asked. Are you to blame?"

"What?" says Harry, sarcastically.

"Harry, it was your suggestion that caused Cedric to fall into Voldemort's trap, wasn't it? If you two hadn't decided to tie and you taking the cup, Cedric would not have been there. Right?"

"I have to pee!"

"Then pee, we ain't moving. Now, answer my damn question!"

"Yes" admits Harry.

"Were you aware of the trap before you touched the Cup?"

"Of course not. I still have to pee!"

"Then piss! I don't mind. Now, were you aware of Voldemort's attack before Mum was murdered?"

"Of course not you pervert."

"Once you were aware, did you act?"

"Of course yes, now I still need to pee!"

"Piss then, damn it! Let it rip! So, did you act reasonably to defend her?"

"No, she's dead. I'm serious, I have to pee!"

"Shit! Piss right now then." says Ron.

"You're still on top of me!" protests Harry.

"I don't mind. Now, pee!" says Ron. Harry starts peeing uncontrollably.

"What did you?" demands Harry.

"You seemed insistent, so I helped. Now, did you act to defend Mum? us?"

"You bastard!" insinuates Harry.

"Did you act?"

"Yes."

"Did anyone else act?"

"No."

"Did you act as fast as you could?"

"Yes."

"Then you acted reasonably. What was Lucius aiming for?"

"Your Mum."

"Are you certain? Maybe he didn't care who he hit. Maybe he was aiming for me, Gia, Hermione, Edward, or even you."

"Not really." admits Harry.

"Brian and Celeste, why were they in that car at night?"

"Wanted to sleep inside, didn't like it above."

"Why were they on that hike to begin with?"

"I suggested it."

"Do you feel responsible for their deaths?"

"Sorta yes."

"Did you murder them?"

"What kinda question? No!"

"Did you know that Death Eaters would be attacking?"

"No!"

"Then how the fuck could you anticipate that?"

"I should have."

"See what Voldemort and his gang have done to you?"

"Can't you see my scar?"

"He's done much more than that. Voldemort murdered your parents, not you."

"Duh!"

Ron says, "Voldemort decides to kill your parents like they were nothing. He tries to kill you and fails. However, he has succeeded in making your life miserable. Because of Voldemort, you were sent to the Dursleys. Because of Voldemort, you were exposed to Dudley's constant attacks when you were helpless. Because of Voldemort, your Aunt and Uncle were able to take their loathing of your parents out on you."

"Fuck! It's taken you this long to learn my past?"

Ron continues, "Because of Voldemort, you stayed with the Dursleys for ten years. Because of Voldemort, you find nosy people like Malfoy here at Hogwarts who try to bully you around. Because of Voldemort, we had to chase through that maze and you confronted Voldemort. He suggests that your parents didn't need to have died, it was you he was after."

"So, that gives you a right to interfere?"

Ron ignores and continues, "Because of Voldemort's lackey Malfoy, Ginny was exposed to mortal peril in a trap to get you. Because of Voldemort, Sirius got framed and is now hiding from the Ministry. That deprives you of a decent childhood home. Because of Voldemort, you were entered into that Triwizard Championship and that endangered our friendship."

"You seem intent on endangering it."

Ron says, "A dead Harry is no friend. Because of Voldemort, Cedric is caught in a trap meant to ensnare you. Voldemort turns the noblest of acts into the death of Cedric. Because of Voldemort's lackeys, much suffering of Muggles has occurred this past year. Because of Voldemort, your friends have been listed on their hit list. Because of Voldemort, this makes it difficult for you to have a girlfriend."

"I have a girlfriend."

"Because of Voldemort's gang, Brian and Celeste are killed. Because of Voldemort, Hermione's house is turned into a death trap. Because of Voldemort and gang, my Mum is killed. See how much he's harassing you?"

"Snape?"

"Snape compounds what Voldemort is doing. However, like the Dursleys, he just hates your parents. So, do you see what Voldemort is doing?"

"Voldemort is nowhere near Hogwarts!"

"Harry, he can't kill you. At each step, he rewards your actions with another insult, another lie, another blow. Each one makes you doubt yourself a bit further. Voldemort wants you dead, period. He does not care if it's his wand or your own hand. Voldemort turns the best of ideas into death traps. You are playing into his hand."

"I am not!"

"Yes you are. You blame yourself for each of Voldemort's actions. That must stop!"

"What are you? Some kind of shrink?"

"Someone who wants you to live. At each point in your life, Voldemort steals from you. He stole your parents, he stole your youth, he stole Cedric, he stole the Mum of your best friend, he is trying to steal your sanity and your will to live. Because of Voldemort, anyone who tries to be your friend is marked for death. Because of Voldemort, you must consider security for your dates! Because of Voldemort, you have issues that keep you from fucking Gia."

"Will you stay out of my relationship with Gia?"

"Too late, I'm already in it. I've saved it on numerous occasions, and I will continue to do so where I see fit. Now, Voldemort has brought unbearable pressure onto you. Rita Skeeter is right, you can't have a relationship without exposing people to danger from Voldemort. I have chosen to accept that danger. Hermione, Gia, my Mum, everyone who has chosen to know you accepts that risk."

"Nice to know, but you still seem intent to screw things up!"

"Harry, you're being defensive. I understand. The fact that you can't bear the pressure alone is obvious. It's nothing to be ashamed of with me, alright? You're human too."

"You need to grope my genitals to figure out I'm human? I'm alright dammit!"

Ron says, "Do you realize what you're jeopardizing? Your nut-sack, the future of the Potter line? This entire discussion revolves around your dick and Voldemort!"

Harry starts to mutter, but this time, Ron places his hand over Harry's mouth. Ron snickers a bit as Harry probes his tongue over Ron's palm. Ron says, "Harry, hear me out because all that I'm asking of you is to want to live for your own sake. You love Gia and want to fuck her, but you can't because you know doing so will sign her death warrant in the eyes of Voldemort. Gia is the most happiness you've ever experienced and fucking her will put that in peril. You do not bring death to others nor are you responsible, Voldemort is."

Harry bites Ron's hand and Ron jerks back. Harry sneers, "You think you know me..."

Ron says, "Yes, your nightmare last night proved that."

"I do not have nightmares."

"You do and you almost injured Gia! Hermione witnessed yours last night and your wetting of the bed. Yes, with you being exposed, we could watch. I pulled Gia off to protect her from you!"

Harry and Ron continue this arguing for what seems like hours. Finally, Harry starts to shiver a bit on the deck. Ron gets off of Harry, picks him up, and carries him back into the still warm pool.

Ron says, "Don't try worming out, okay?"

Harry isn't cold. Instead, he grabs Ron. Ron pulls Harry a bit closer. Harry sets his chin onto Ron's shoulder. Tears start dribbling.

Harry mutters, "What the fuck was I doing that shit?"

Ron soothes with, "I understand."

"Can't believe I'm that transparent."

"Far from it, took me ages. Nobody else has figured it out."

"How many have you told?"

"I've told Hermione and Gia enough to get their help, but nobody else."

"Dumbledore?"

"No. However, realize that because of you, Dumbledore is losing trust in Snape."

"I wouldn't be sorry if Snape got fired."

"Wish he was. But, being framed by a student is not a good reason."

Tears continue to flow from Harry. He says, "Sorry for how I was acting."

"Forgiven." says Ron.

"Can't believe I accused you of being gay."

Ron snorts. "I'm after Hermione."

"Did you plan this?"

"A bit, yes. It's been apparent for a while that you've been suffering. Took me a while to figure out how."

"You're worse than Hermione!"

"Thanks. She can't always be the one."

Harry's tears are still flowing a bit.

Harry mutters, "My parents, Cedric, Brian, Celeste, your Mum, the others."

Ron replies, "They chose to know you and enjoyed it. My Mum certainly loved having your over to visit. She idolized you a bit, but usually refrained from imposing that."

"UHP?"

"A founding member actually, but on Platform 9 3/4 our first year, she didn't recognize you. She suggested that I talk to you."

"Even without my fame, you'd still?"

"I like to think so. Realize, I think this is the first time you've shed tears since I've known you."

"Keeping count?"

"Not really. The fact that you're a bit vulnerable is fine. We all have something. We can defeat the worst wizard of our time. So, trust me to help you, please?"

"Like I have a choice?"

"You always have a choice. I don't want you to make a very bad one. Doing so would lose me my best friend."

"Thanks." says Harry.

"Funny, Gia was the clue I needed."

"Really?"

"Yes. Realize your life's been miserable. It takes you months to find a happy thought? That really is pathetic. With Gia, you changed enough for me to understand."

"It's not been completely miserable."

"I know, Hermione and I have been making it better. With Gia, I hope you're much happier."

"Yeah, having you two help."

"There was really no one else."

"Sirius?"

"He's too far removed from your life even though he's trying."

Harry sits back up, facing Ron. "So, where did the girls go?"

Ron replies, "Back to Gryffindor Tower. I cued Hermione in earlier. I didn't want Gia seeing all of this. It would stand a good chance of spooking her."

"Would you have gone to Pomfrey?"

"Yes, as a last resort. Her solution would not have been good. Now, this ain't over."

"It isn't?"

"No, we need to make sure you have an enjoyable summer." Ron says with a grin.

"Nice prescription Dr. Weasley."

"When a bit of happiness intoxicates you, the diet needs more."

"Intoxicates me?"

"Why else did you act bubbly after Easter Holiday? Don't worry, I like seeing you happy for a change. Anyways, when you need it, I'll help."

"Yeah, you help regardless."

"It's better if you are willing. A couple of laps and then see the girls?"

After several laps they get out. Ron collects his wand and they walk over to their packs.

"Harry, I want this to be absolutely clear. The details of what happened tonight will not leave this room by me." says Ron.

Harry replies, "Thanks. The girls?"

Ron thinks, "Hmm.. well, I'll tell them something but omit the details."

Harry and Ron put on their bathrobes. They finish putting the other stuff into their backpacks.

Ron grabs the half empty bottle of white wine and a pair of the glasses. He pours it evenly between the two. Ron hands one to Harry.

Harry says, "Thanks."

Ron says, "Seems fitting."

They drink it up. Ron stashes the bottle and glasses into Harry's pack. They walk out of the Prefects' Bathroom.

* * * Back to the Girls * * *

Harry says, "Aren't you glad Cedric told me about that bathroom?"

Ron says, "Yes, very much so. We can't get that sort of privacy elsewhere inside of Hogwarts."

"Potter! Weasley! Another nighttime stroll?" asks the sleazy voice of Snape from behind.

Harry and Ron exchange looks. They cast SEP.

"What!? Don't hide on me." says Snape, looking even harder.

They dash around Snape and run up the staircase, jumping the trick step. Snape is pursuing and gaining. Ron pulls Harry close and reaches into Harry's backpack. Ron pulls out Harry's Firebolt and they mount.

Still under SEP, Snape can only see glimpses of them. Snape sees a glimpse of a fast moving object toward him. Snape ducks.

"No flying in the castle!" shouts Snape. It's too late as Harry flies out a nearby window. They fly up to the Gryffindor Tower Common Room and fly in. Gia and Hermione are sitting naked on the stone floor in front of the fireplace.

Hermione looks at them and says, "Gia, I think your boyfriend flew in."

Ron and Harry dismount.

Ron says, "Ran into Snape."

Gia says, "Oh. So you took flight?"

Ron says, "Yep, seemed expedient. We didn't want him holding us up."

Harry lets the front of his bathrobe open and lets his length harden. He looks at Gia and says, "I do want to be with you."

The naked Hermione says, "Harry, lets go up first."

Hermione nearly drags Harry as she walks up the stairs. Ron holds Gia back a moment.

"Gia." says Ron.

"Yes? Did you?" asks Gia.

"Yes, the worst of it." says Ron.

"Sex?" asks Gia.

"I think he can now get himself ready." says Ron

"Thanks." says Gia.

Ron and Gia walk up the stairs and enter the dormitory. Harry is now naked. Ron tosses his bathrobe onto his bed along with his pack.

Harry is talking to Hermione and says, "Surprising, Snape passed us on Potions."

Ron says, "Obvious isn't it? With all them teachers watching..."

Hermione says, "Malfoy is in trouble."

Harry says, "Most likely he killed his father."

Gia asks, "Why?"

Harry replies, "It seems to be a Death Eater tradition. Voldemort did it. Crouch did it."

Ron says, "Hermione, Congratulations on your OWLs."

Hermione says, "Thanks Ron."

Hermione and Gia lay down onto Harry's bed.

Gia says, "Too bad, not enough room."

Harry and Ron exchange looks. They sit down onto the bed and entangle themselves with the girls.

Hermione says, "Prats! You two are perverts!"

"Thanks!" reply Ron and Harry.

"Comfortable?" asks Gia.

"Yes. Are you?" asks Harry.

"Yes, bit kinky of course." says Gia.

"We end up tangled anyways." says Ron.

Harry pulls the covers over them and falls asleep.
