Chapter 6- Holiday Visits
"I will see you after the holiday Hermione! Send lots of owls about your vacation!" called out Liz as she, Emma Lee, Harry, Ron, and Draco were departing from the train, along with other Hogwarts students visiting their families for Christmas holiday.
Hermione was going home to visit her mother and father, then off to Bulgaria to visit Viktor, who was also on holiday, while Harry and Ron were going to the Burrow. Draco was going home to the Malfoy estate for his holidays. He left with Emma, to introduce her to his parents, and to say farewell in privacy. Emma quickly introduced Draco to her parents, and then left with Draco after informally wishing Harry, Ron, and Hermione a good holiday. This left Ron and Harry to introduce Elizabeth to Mr. and Mrs. Weasly.
"Oh, hello my dears!!" Mrs. Weasly squealed in her youthful voice as she approached the boys and Liz, "Now, Harry, who is this beautiful young woman you are escorting?"
"All Weaslys, I would like you to meet Elizabeth Bloom, my girlfriend" Harry said with a smile as he said the last words.
"Oh! Harry dear! You have found a wonderful girl! I am so pleasurably happy to meet you dear Elizabeth, now where are you parents? Are you staying at the Burrow also? The more the merrier!" Mrs. Weasly questioned while shaking her hand.
"They should be showing up soon, they have a busy schedule. They are both Healers at St. Mungo's along with my friend, Emma's, parents. We both transferred here from Beauxbatons this year," explained Liz while still grasping Mrs. Weasly's hand. "Ah, there they are! Mum! Dad!"
"Liz honey! We've missed you!" exclaimed Mr. Bloom.
"I'd like you to meet Harry, Ron, and Ron's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly, they are in Gryffindor with me at school." Introduced Liz.
"Very nice to meet you all!" Said Mrs. Bloom as she and her husband began to converse with the Weaslys.
Ron ran off to see the twins who Apparated onto the platform wearing matching leather jackets, Fred in tan, George in dark brown.
'The joke shop must be blossoming' thought Harry with a smile; for he had given the twins the thousand Galleons he had won after the Triwizard tournament in his fourth year to help them start Weaslys Wizard Wheezes, their joke shop.
"Well, I guess that leaves us alone for a formal farewell" Harry whispered into Liz's ear as he grasped her hand and started to move her away from the crowd.
Liz smiled and squeezed his hand lightly as they got to a private spot, still within eyesight of their families.
"I'm going to miss you when you are home Liz," Harry started, "promise me you'll send an owl everyday ok?"
"Of course, I couldn't live that long without even thinking about you, I don't know how I lasted the first 16 years without you" Liz gushed.
"Oh Liz, even though it's only going to be three weeks, I won't be able to survive without your face, your hair, your scent-" Harry started.
"I have a scent?!" Liz exclaimed, "I hope it's a good scent, geez."
"Of course it is! It's a mix of vanilla and strawberries" Harry laughed, "and you have a taste too."
"Hmm, what is my taste?" Liz asked, smirking slightly.
"I don't seem to remember." Harry started, but was interrupted by Liz, leaning in closer.
Tilting his head to the side ever so slightly, he placed his lips on hers gently. She mirrored his actions, allowing him to grow accustomed to the warmth of her lips and her breath. Harry leaned his head even more, deepening the kiss and parting her lips with his tongue slightly. She gave in to his movements, and allowed his tongue to slip inside her mouth, first grazing her lips, then meeting her tongue and gently massaging it with his own. Suddenly aware that they were still in eyesight of their families and friends, Liz gently pulled away, finishing with a light peck on the corner of his mouth just as the place she kissed turned up into a smile.
"I'm still not sure," Harry started as he laid a quick peck on her lips, "We might have to decide later when we don't have an audience."
"Good idea," Liz said as she turned and waved to her parents shyly, but forcefully as if saying, 'can't you see I'm busy?!'
They turned to the Weaslys again, obviously learning of their daughters relationships with Harry Potter, who they now realized was the Harry Potter, the 'known all over the world' Harry Potter. As much as everyone else idolized Harry for a deed he did, even if he didn't realize he did it until his eleventh birthday, Liz never thought twice about Harry. Sure, people would believe that Liz was only dating Harry because of his fame, but in reality, they never even had a conversation about it. The unconscious agreement they made was reflected upon each touch, each kiss, and each word. They both cared for each other so much; they didn't need to talk about it. Harry knew Liz liked him for him, and Liz knew Harry liked her for her. But this didn't affect Liz's parents in the way it affected her.
After more quick goodbyes and an invitation by the Blooms to have all of the Weaslys over for a while before the start of the next term, everyone began to go their separate ways.
"Oh, I love those Weaslys!" exclaimed Mrs. Bloom as she tried to put Liz's trunk in the muggle taxi, quite unsuccessfully.
"Mum, you just met them." Liz said nonchalantly. "Did you happen to see the Enrights? Em left without saying goodbye. oh well, I'll see her tonight anyway." She finished, realizing she was babbling.
The whole ride home, Liz chatted to her parents about her classes, her friends, the differences of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, everything. She had to be careful not to say certain things aware that the taxi driver was a muggle. She decided to finish with detail as they got home.
The Enrights came over for dinner that night. Emma and Liz took turns sharing stories about their different classes and times in their separate houses. Both girls admitted to having boyfriends, even though both sets of parents were well aware. After they helped clean up dinner (charmed the sink to wash the dishes), the girls went upstairs to share their latest stories about their boyfriends. This became a ritual now that they weren't together all the time.
Liz explained to Em her sweet goodbye with Harry and about how her parents invited the Weaslys and Harry over for a weekend at the end of the holiday. Emma shared how Draco had introduced her to his parents. She didn't seem to like his father that much, even though he looked very much like Draco. His mother seemed nice enough, and both of her parents loved Draco. Draco had said that maybe Emma could visit the Malfoy estate sometime during the holiday, or that they could meet at Diagon Ally. There girl talk was interrupted by sharp raps on the window. Once they realized it was Hedwig, Liz generously opened the window. As she was taking the letter off of Hedwig's ankle, she fed her water and allowed her to rest.
"Hedwig, please wait here so I can write a response" Liz said to the snowy owl.
She opened the letter quickly and read it to herself as Em went to use the loo.
Liz- Hey, I know that it's only been less than 6 hours, but I wanted to write you to let you know I got here safely. Write me back to let me know you are ok too, ok? Well, anyway, I wanted to let you know that I figured out your taste, but I want to double check that I'm right before I let you know, ;- ). There really is no point to this letter, but to remind you that you have to write me everyday or else I'll cry, and Ron wouldn't want that. Oh, Mrs. Weasly decided to come visit you all after Christmas some time. I can't wait to see you. Write and send Hedwig back, I'll probably be waiting. With love and kisses (lots of them), Harry
Liz smiled and unpacked a piece of parchment and quill from her trunk as Em came back.
"What did he say, anything cute?" Em asked.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, they are coming to visit after Christmas; I bet Mrs. Weasly already told my mum though." Liz said as she began writing. Emma took the letter to read it herself, and then dozed off in Liz's chair as she wrote.
Dear Harry, Of course I am alright. I am so excited to see you after Christmas! I think that Emma is going to visit Draco for a weekend around there, so it might just be you and I and the Weaslys. But I think I have a friend in mind for Ron. don't tell him, he will just freak out at me. Once he sees her, he'll want her though, she just broke up with her boyfriend, but she's a muggle. Don't know how that will work out, but we'll just have to see. We can teach you 2 some fun muggle games ;-). Well, I will write tomorrow if I do something fun. Kissing you back, Liz
That sounded good to her as she read it over again and attached it to Hedwig's leg. She looked over to Emma who was sleeping lightly in her chair.
'I didn't take that long' thought Liz as she tapped Em on the shoulder.
"Wake up Em! You gotta go home!" she whispered.
"C'mon Draco, jus' one more tiiiime!" Em smiled and slurred her words.
"Oh, I don't even want to know." Liz said to herself as she knocked Em into consciousness.
"Ohhh. hey. I fell asleep," Em said.
"Yeah, I noticed," replied Liz, "your parents are waiting for you downstairs, they are getting ready to go, I'll probably see you tomorrow though, bye!"
"See you dear! Have a good night sleep and sweet dreams about your Harry!" Em said.
"And you, about Draco!" replied Liz, "Even though I think you already may have." She added as Emma left the room.
Liz fell asleep quite quickly in spite of all of the traveling that had occurred that day. She woke up the next morning remembering a vague dream of her and Harry in the Gryffindor common room. She was about to start writing a letter to Harry about it, but then smelled the aroma of breakfast from downstairs. She quickly got up, and made her way downstairs to see her parents reading the Daily Prophet over a cup of steaming coffee. She helped herself to some eggs and bacon and sat down next to her mother. She ate while they discussed their activities for the day and for the upcoming holiday. Mrs. Weasly had sent her an owl last night telling her that they would love to visit and that they would the day after Christmas. Liz smiled to her mother and made a mental note to thank her mother some day for befriending Mrs. Weasly.
The rest of the week went by like normal; Liz spent a lot of time with Emma Lee and Jen, then muggle girl that lived next door. Liz had told Jen about a guy she met at boarding school. Jen seemed very excited to meet Ron; she always seemed to fall for the guys with red hair for some reason. Harry's letters kept coming for Liz, and after a while she needed to get a box to put them all in. All of his news was good news, as was hers in return.
After celebrating Christmas as Liz had done so many times traditionally with the Enrights and the Blooms together, Liz and Emma had their last sleepover before Em went to visit Draco. In the morning, Emma had left before Liz woke up. "Good thing we said goodbye last night." Liz thought aloud while brushing her strawberry blond hair. She had magically cleaned it, not wanting to get into the shower. She loved the way it dried when she slept on it, and since Harry was coming to visit that day, she wanted it extra nice. She went downstairs in her pajamas to eat breakfast, but to her surprise there were more people than just her parents there also.
"Oy, Liz! Glad you made it!" exclaimed Ron, with half his mouth full with food.
"Whoa, hello everyone!" Liz replied, still shocked and now blushing, "I think I'm going to go get dressed.I'll be right down." she finished.
She hurried upstairs, pulled on a pair of blue jeans and a white turtleneck that she got as a present. She quickly put up her hair into a low ponytail and brushed her teeth. She walked back downstairs casually, trying to hide her eagerness as she scanned the room for Harry. He caught her eye and gave her a small wink as he made room for her to sit down next to her.
"When did everyone get here?" Liz asked as she started buttering a bagel.
"Not too long before you woke up actually, we missed Em though." Harry replied.
Liz quickly scanned the room, more crowded that usual, even when the Enrights were over. She noticed Mr. Weasly conversing with her father, Mrs. Weasly trying to clean up something on Ron's nose, then her own mother complimenting Ginny on her lovely dress.
"Where are the twins? Bill and Charlie?" asked Liz after she finished looking around
"The twins are at their shop, Bill is with his girlfriend, Fleur, you might know her, she went to Beauxbatons, and Charlie had to stay in Romania for the entire holiday." Ron explained to Liz.
"Fleur. Fleur as in Fleur Delacour?" Liz asked.
"Yes, that would be her." Mrs. Weasly said disapprovingly, "I don't know what he sees in her though, she seems a bit daft to me."
Everyone stayed in the kitchen for a while, and then Mr. and Mrs. Bloom took Mr. and Mrs. Weasly on a tour of their home, while Liz showed Harry, Ron, and Ginny to the basement, her favorite place in the house except her own room. They sat around and talked for most of the day, only stopping to eat, talking about their holidays, even though Liz and Harry knew every detail of each others. After a while they went upstairs and Liz decided to go see if Jen was home. Even if Ron didn't like her, Ginny will have a friend at least.
She ran next door and rang the bell.
"Hey Jen! My friends are here if you want to meet them." Liz exclaimed as Jen answered the door.
"Oh yeah!!! Let me get my coat and I will be right over!" Jen said, happily.
Jen walked in the door and went down to the basement, where she went every time she came over. As she walked down the stairs Ron's jaw dropped to the floor. He quickly regained himself and introduced himself with a slight grin. She smiled back sheepishly and Harry and Liz sniggered to themselves.
"Matchmaker. make me a match" Harry whispered into Liz's ear.
She smiled at him, so happy to see him again and to hear his voice.
"Hey Jen, remember those games you taught me that you learned at that party?" Liz asked her, glancing at her watch. It was eight at night, they had oodles of time.
"Oh Liz, I taught you those two years ago, we're too old for them now. Besides, we just met." she replied, gazing into Ron's eyes.
Ron blushed slightly then looked away at Harry for some sort of clue on what to do. Since Jen wouldn't teach the boys the game, and Liz didn't feel like it either, they just sat and talked for a while. Ginny started dozing off and Liz told her she could stay in her room if she was tired. Ginny thanked her gratefully and left in a hurry. This left Harry and Liz and Ron and Jen. Jen and Ron seemed to hit it off really well, they were talking about school, Liz had to remind Ron and Harry that Jen was a muggle and that they had to be careful what they said around her. Not after long Jen led Ron to a secret spot around the corner of the basement to finish their business. Harry and Liz figured out what was going on, both very proud of the usually shy Ron.
"Oh, good for him!" Liz exclaimed.
"Yeah, and you know what that means?" Harry asked, "We get this half of the basement to ourselves." He added with a smirk.
Liz smiled lightly at Harry, but then stopped smiling once an unfamiliar noise came from around the corner. "Oh man, we need to put a silencing charm on them" Liz finally said.
"Yeah, but we can't do magic in the presence of a muggle, we'll just have to find away to block it out ourselves." Harry replied.
"Oh Harry, I missed you so much!" Liz shouted as she hugged him.
"Yeah, I missed you t-" Harry was interrupted by Liz's lips suddenly on his own.
'Finally,' He thought to himself as he began to think of what he missed, so happy to have it back.
She tasted like strawberries, but he didn't want to tell her until she was finished. He assumed it was from her lip gloss, but it was so present in her whole entire mouth. As he kept kissing her, first with little ones along her lips and her face, gently touching his lips on her cheeks, eyelids and nose, all he could taste were the strawberries. He moved back to her mouth, to the familiar taste and warmth, when she suddenly backed away.
"Harry, the last time we did this was in the common room that night." She whispered.
"Uh. yeah, I know Liz, what's wrong?" Harry responded.
"Well, you know what almost happened?" She asked, uncertainly.
"Yes, Liz, don't worry, we're going as fast as you want, just stop me ok?" Harry whispered in her ear, his hot breath giving her shivers down her spine.
She turned her head so she was looking him in the eye, her lips centimeters away from his.
"Don't stop..." She whispered, as her lips grazed his gently.
"OK." Harry said practically into her mouth. They began kissing again, this time more intimately. He brought his hand from the small of her back up to her upper back touching her shoulders making his way up to her hair. He played with her hair, wrapping it around his finger, and then letting it loose again. She felt her stomach jitter as he did this, and in return she let out soft moans into his mouth. He let his tongue separate her lips then slipped it inside, first toying with her own tongue, then using it to explore the rest of her mouth. Everywhere, all he tasted was strawberries.
As she let him slip his tongue into her mouth, she felt the familiar warmth and wetness as she did in the common room that night. This kissing lasted for a while until they were interrupted by Ron doing God-knows-what with Jen.
"Holy shit Harry, we're in my HOUSE." Liz suddenly remembered out of breath
"Uh yeah Liz, I thought you knew." Harry said with a smirk.
"You know, I'd probably feel better if we did this somewhere else. like at school." Liz explained to Harry.
"Oh come on, this is still good Liz, you just can't stop in the middle." Harry whined.
"Only for a little more, then we should get Ron, I bet Jens parents want to know where she is."
Keeping to her word, Liz continued with Harry, totally forgetting that she was in her own home and her parents were right above them, 2 floors up. (They were probably already sleeping.) Harry was just kissing her; nothing else because she was concerned that they were in her house and that there was a possibility of being walked in on. They kissed for a while until Harry couldn't take it anymore. He let his hand slip up her shirt lingering on her stomach, his fingers making small circles around her belly button, then moving up until they reached her bra. He moved them to her back, finding the clasp and letting it go. He allowed his hands to move back to the front this time lingering around her breasts, touching them gently and serenely. Liz took in a deep breath as he did this, giving her a wonderful sensation throughout her whole body. She felt like she needed to pay him back for what he was doing to her, since it has been twice he has pleasured her and she had never done anything in return.
She let her hands move along his stomach, as he did to her, only instead of moving them up; she moved them to his pants, first feeling the elastic band of his boxers then the buttons of his pants. She skillfully undid his button with one hand and lowered the zipper slowly. Never having done this before Harry's hand found hers and guided her. Just as she began, she stopped again and Harry groaned in annoyance.
"Liz I told you, you can't stop!" Harry said.
"I know, I know! I'm sorry, I just don't feel comfortable, and it must be late now, we should get Jen." Liz replied.
Harry buttoned up his pants and Liz redid her bra clasp as they got up off the couch to get Ron and Jen. By the noise, it was obvious that they were finished or very close to it. Instead of intruding, Harry said Ron's name and Liz said Jen's. They both replied with a quick "What?!" sounding very out of breath.
"Oh Jen, you should get going, it's probably really late by now" Liz explained to Jen.
"Oh, right, I'll just get my things, and I'll see you guys tomorrow?" Jen asked.
"Yeah." said Ron, quite dreamily.
Harry and Liz looked at each other and giggle to themselves, happy for Ron and his newly found love interest.
The trio went to their respective bedrooms and fell asleep, waking the next morning to breakfast with both families and a secret none of them were going to tell anyone.
Halfway through breakfast, a sharp rapping was heard on the window. Liz saw Emma's owl and opened it with a smile. She took the letter from its ankle, anxiously awaiting news of her trip to Draco's and for her to get back so she can hear all of her stories.
*A/N* Hey guys, I forgot to do this at first, but I think I can add it in if I try really hard. This Angie, and I was just reading over this chapter. I kinda don't like it. :-/ but it is all good I guess, we really need to come up with a plot and not have them just making out all the time! So anyway, Kailey is on vacation right now and I was on vacation before and since I was writing this one, it never got done, because I am a procrastinator. We probably aren't going to have chapters out as quick as we did in the beginning of the summer because we both have school and I have swim practice all the time. So we will try our best, it might just be Kailey writing for a while. Sorry that this chapter too so long to get out! I missed it as much as our 2 reviewers did also. (haha, how weak, 2 reviewers) but yes, the reviewers that we have, we do love you! Thank you Jen for the 3 reviews, that new character was named after you my dear. ( Have a good rest of the summer guys!
"I will see you after the holiday Hermione! Send lots of owls about your vacation!" called out Liz as she, Emma Lee, Harry, Ron, and Draco were departing from the train, along with other Hogwarts students visiting their families for Christmas holiday.
Hermione was going home to visit her mother and father, then off to Bulgaria to visit Viktor, who was also on holiday, while Harry and Ron were going to the Burrow. Draco was going home to the Malfoy estate for his holidays. He left with Emma, to introduce her to his parents, and to say farewell in privacy. Emma quickly introduced Draco to her parents, and then left with Draco after informally wishing Harry, Ron, and Hermione a good holiday.

"Oy, Liz! Glad you made it!" exclaimed Ron, with half his mouth full with food.
"Whoa, hello everyone!" Liz replied, still shocked and now blushing, "I think I'm going to go get dressed.I'll be right down." she finished.
She hurried upstairs, pulled on a pair of blue jeans and a white turtleneck that she got as a present. She quickly put up her hair into a low ponytail and brushed her teeth. She walked back downstairs casually, trying to hide her eagerness as she scanned the room for Harry. He caught her eye and gave her a small wink as he made room for her to sit down next to her.
"When did everyone get here?" Liz asked as she started buttering a bagel.
"Not too long before you woke up actually, we missed Em though." Harry replied.
Liz quickly scanned the room, more crowded that usual, even when the Enrights were over. She noticed Mr. Weasly conversing with her father, Mrs. Weasly trying to clean up something on Ron's nose, then her own mother complimenting Ginny on her lovely dress.
"Where are the twins? Bill and Charlie?" asked Liz after she finished looking around
"The twins are at their shop, Bill is with his girlfriend, Fleur, you might know her, she went to Beauxbatons, and Charlie had to stay in Romania for the entire holiday." Ron explained to Liz.
"Fleur. Fleur as in Fleur Delacour?" Liz asked.
"Yes, that would be her." Mrs. Weasly said disapprovingly, "I don't know what he sees in her though, she seems a bit daft to me."
Everyone stayed in the kitchen for a while, and then Mr. and Mrs. Bloom took Mr. and Mrs. Weasly on a tour of their home, while Liz showed Harry, Ron, and Ginny to the basement, her favorite place in the house except her own room. They sat around and talked for most of the day, only stopping to eat, talking about their holidays, even though Liz and Harry knew every detail of each others. After a while they went upstairs and Liz decided to go see if Jen was home. Even if Ron didn't like her, Ginny will have a friend at least.
She ran next door and rang the bell.
"Hey Jen! My friends are here if you want to meet them." Liz exclaimed as Jen answered the door.
"Oh yeah!!! Let me get my coat and I will be right over!" Jen said, happily.
Jen walked in the door and went down to the basement, where she went every time she came over. As she walked down the stairs Ron's jaw dropped to the floor. He quickly regained himself and introduced himself with a slight grin. She smiled back sheepishly and Harry and Liz sniggered to themselves.
"Matchmaker. make me a match" Harry whispered into Liz's ear.
She smiled at him, so happy to see him again and to hear his voice.
"Hey Jen, remember those games you taught me that you learned at that party?" Liz asked her, glancing at her watch. It was eight at night, they had oodles of time.
"Oh Liz, I taught you those two years ago, we're too old for them now. Besides, we just met." she replied, gazing into Ron's eyes.
Ron blushed slightly then looked away at Harry for some sort of clue on what to do. Since Jen wouldn't teach the boys the game, and Liz didn't feel like it either, they just sat and talked for a while. Ginny started dozing off and Liz told her she could stay in her room if she was tired. Ginny thanked her gratefully and left in a hurry. This left Harry and Liz and Ron and Jen. Jen and Ron seemed to hit it off really well, they were talking about school, Liz had to remind Ron and Harry that Jen was a muggle and that they had to be careful what they said around her. Not after long Jen led Ron to a secret spot around the corner of the basement to finish their business. Harry and Liz figured out what was going on, both very proud of the usually shy Ron.
"Oh, good for him!" Liz exclaimed.
"Yeah, and you know what that means?" Harry asked, "We get this half of the basement to ourselves." He added with a smirk.
Liz smiled lightly at Harry, but then stopped smiling once an unfamiliar noise came from around the corner. "Oh man, we need to put a silencing charm on them" Liz finally said.
"Yeah, but we can't do magic in the presence of a muggle, we'll just have to find away to block it out ourselves." Harry replied.
"Oh Harry, I missed you so much!" Liz shouted as she hugged him.
"Yeah, I missed you t-" Harry was interrupted by Liz's lips suddenly on his own.
'Finally,' He thought to himself as he began to think of what he missed, so happy to have it back.
She tasted like strawberries, but he didn't want to tell her until she was finished. He assumed it was from her lip gloss, but it was so present in her whole entire mouth. As he kept kissing her, first with little ones along her lips and her face, gently touching his lips on her cheeks, eyelids and nose, all he could taste were the strawberries. He moved back to her mouth, to the familiar taste and warmth, when she suddenly backed away.
"Harry, the last time we did this was in the common room that night." She whispered.
"Uh. yeah, I know Liz, what's wrong?" Harry responded.
"Well, you know what almost happened?" She asked, uncertainly.
"Yes, Liz, don't worry, we're going as fast as you want, just stop me ok?" Harry whispered in her ear, his hot breath giving her shivers down her spine.
She turned her head so she was looking him in the eye, her lips centimeters away from his.
"Don't stop..." She whispered, as her lips grazed his gently.
"OK." Harry said practically into her mouth. They began kissing again, this time more intimately. He brought his hand from the small of her back up to her upper back touching her shoulders making his way up to her hair. He played with her hair, wrapping it around his finger, and then letting it loose again. She felt her stomach jitter as he did this, and in return she let out soft moans into his mouth. He let his tongue separate her lips then slipped it inside, first toying with her own tongue, then using it to explore the rest of her mouth. Everywhere, all he tasted was strawberries.
As she let him slip his tongue into her mouth, she felt the familiar warmth and wetness as she did in the common room that night. This kissing lasted for a while until they were interrupted by Ron doing God-knows-what with Jen.
"Holy shit Harry, we're in my HOUSE." Liz suddenly remembered out of breath
"Uh yeah Liz, I thought you knew." Harry said with a smirk.
"You know, I'd probably feel better if we did this somewhere else. like at school." Liz explained to Harry.
"Oh come on, this is still good Liz, you just can't stop in the middle." Harry whined.
"Only for a little more, then we should get Ron, I bet Jens parents want to know where she is."
Keeping to her word, Liz continued with Harry, totally forgetting that she was in her own home and her parents were right above them, 2 floors up. (They were probably already sleeping.) Harry was just kissing her; nothing else because she was concerned that they were in her house and that there was a possibility of being walked in on. They kissed for a while until Harry couldn't take it anymore. He let his hand slip up her shirt lingering on her stomach, his fingers making small circles around her belly button, then moving up until they reached her bra. He moved them to her back, finding the clasp and letting it go. He allowed his hands to move back to the front this time lingering around her breasts, touching them gently and serenely. Liz took in a deep breath as he did this, giving her a wonderful sensation throughout her whole body. She felt like she needed to pay him back for what he was doing to her, since it has been twice he has pleasured her and she had never done anything in return.
She let her hands move along his stomach, as he did to her, only instead of moving them up; she moved them to his pants, first feeling the elastic band of his boxers then the buttons of his pants. She skillfully undid his button with one hand and lowered the zipper slowly. Never having done this before Harry's hand found hers and guided her. Just as she began, she stopped again and Harry groaned in annoyance.
"Liz I told you, you can't stop!" Harry said.
"I know, I know! I'm sorry, I just don't feel comfortable, and it must be late now, we should get Jen." Liz replied.
Harry buttoned up his pants and Liz redid her bra clasp as they got up off the couch to get Ron and Jen. By the noise, it was obvious that they were finished or very close to it. Instead of intruding, Harry said Ron's name and Liz said Jen's. They both replied with a quick "What?!" sounding very out of breath.
"Oh Jen, you should get going, it's probably really late by now" Liz explained to Jen.
"Oh, right, I'll just get my things, and I'll see you guys tomorrow?" Jen asked.
"Yeah." said Ron, quite dreamily.
Harry and Liz looked at each other and giggle to themselves, happy for Ron and his newly found love interest.
The trio went to their respective bedrooms and fell asleep, waking the next morning to breakfast with both families and a secret none of them were going to tell anyone.
Halfway through breakfast, a sharp rapping was heard on the window. Liz saw Emma's owl and opened it with a smile. She took the letter from its ankle, anxiously awaiting news of her trip to Draco's and for her to get back so she can hear all of her stories.
*A/N* Hey guys, I forgot to do this at first, but I think I can add it in if I try really hard. This Angie, and I was just reading over this chapter. I kinda don't like it. :-/ but it is all good I guess, we really need to come up with a plot and not have them just making out all the time! So anyway, Kailey is on vacation right now and I was on vacation before and since I was writing this one, it never got done, because I am a procrastinator. We probably aren't going to have chapters out as quick as we did in the beginning of the summer because we both have school and I have swim practice all the time. So we will try our best, it might just be Kailey writing for a while. Sorry that this chapter too so long to get out! I missed it as much as our 2 reviewers did also. (haha, how weak, 2 reviewers) but yes, the reviewers that we have, we do love you! Thank you Jen for the 3 reviews, that new character was named after you my dear. ( Have a good rest of the summer guys!
