Anyway JKR I hope you don't mind me giving Harry a good time before you inflict more agony on him in book six.
Authors Note: The sex in this chapter is deliberately kept as vague as possible, in the main it is a part of ritual magic and even though it is light magic I do not wish to upset anybody by glorifying it unnecessarily.
Chapter 6. The Head Girl.Eight of them were finishing their breakfast, Arthur having gone off to work at the Ministry when Emma said, "We do miss the phone so much, its not that we use it a lot but we kind of feel out of touch and really if we are going to stay here for very long we will need it for our work. We will have to go and do some eventually, although we are on holiday this week; do you think that anything can be done about it Harry?"
Harry called Memo, he had only seen him on the first day they were here, Harry put Emma's question to him, so Memo said that it had to be possible then he asked Emma her home phone number then told her that he would see what he could do, he disappeared with a pop.
Three minutes later five Hogwarts owls arrived.
The Hogwarts letter that Ron's owl brought told him that he was still a prefect, this was a great relief and it also contained the list of books he required for his next year's lessons. His second page told him that he had been appointed Quidditch Captain, he was very happy about this although he wondered why it wasn't still to be Harry. The letter went on to tell him that he would have to organise Gryffindor Quidditch trials at the beginning of next season because neither Ginny nor Harry would be eligible to play Quidditch next year.
Ron immediately started complaining and Harry explained to him that with the power he now had he would be able to summon the snitch and when Ginny became Magi she would be able to banish the Quaffle. She would be capable of making it go through the hoops from anywhere on the pitch and if an opposition chaser or goalkeeper had hold of it and didn't let go in time, they would go through one of the hoops with the Quaffle. Ron had a huge grin on his face when he declared this to be an excellent strategy that would enable Gryffindor to win all of their Quidditch matches next season, however he did concede that the other Houses might think it a trifle unfair.
The first page of Luna's owl told her that the last years Ravenclaw fifth year girl's prefect had been relieved of her position due to an unfortunate incident the night their OWLS had finished. This involved the aforementioned fifth year Ravenclaw girl's prefect and a boy from Gryffindor being caught in the Astronomy tower, the fact that they had been without their clothes at the time had had a great deal to do with the decision. She had as a consequence been appointed Ravenclaw sixth year girl's prefect.
The next page told her that she had obtained eleven OWLS and listed the subjects she was eligible to take at NEWT level; she was to confirm her preferred subjects as soon as possible, so that her book list could be sent to her. The unusual third page was a letter from the Headmaster. He recommended that because of her special abilities she should only take NEWTS in Arithmancy, Astronomy and Ancient Runes; the rest of her study time would be taken up with her Special Studies at the Potters Wheel.
Ginny's owl confirmed that she was still to be a prefect and her second page told her that she had been awarded ten OWLS at Outstanding. It went on to say that her passing grades were so good she could, if she wanted, take NEWTS in all of the subjects she had passed at OWL level, like Luna they need to know her preferred subjects as soon as possible. She had also received a letter from the headmaster however and it recommended that she take only Herbology and Potions, once again telling her that the rest of her study time would be taken up with her Special Studies. Professor Dumbledore also suggested that she should take her NEWTS at the end of the coming school year and after some discussion with the others she thought that this was a very good idea.
Harry and Hermione each received almost identical letters apart from the fact that Harry had been made Head Boy and Hermione Head Girl. They each had personal letters from Professor McGonagall who was especially proud of them, because the last time both the Head Boy and the Head Girl had been from the same house they were Harry's mother and father and that was over twenty years previously. In their case the Headmaster had recommended that they should drop all their other subjects apart from Potions and Herbology, because, as was the case with Luna and Ginny the rest of their study time would be taken up with their Special Studies at the Potters Wheel.
"But surely we will need things like Ancient Runes." Hermione complained.
"Yes but not at NEWT level." Harry replied. "There are Ancient Runes books in the Magi section of our library here, but NEWT level is easy." he put out his hand and a book appeared in it and he handed it to her. "Is this your seventh year Ancient Runes book? Find me a difficult passage to translate."
She checked it and agreed that it was indeed next year's Ancient Runes text book, then she found a passage about a dozen pages from the end and showed it to him, he read it straight out to her in its original language and then immediately translated it into English.
"Now I am certain that you have never studied Runes so won't bother asking you how you did that because you will only tell me that you don't know." She said to a nodding Harry and with eyes alight, asked, "So when do I get the presents you promised me for becoming Head Girl?"
Before Harry could answer Memo appeared and handed Emma a cordless telephone, he told her it was an extension from the one he had installed in her room upstairs which itself was an extension of the one that is in her house.
Emma thanked Memo very much and he smiled, bowed and then he asked if there was anything else he could do for any of the others, but when nobody could think of anything he started muttering about wonderful technology and left looking glum.
Harry asked Hermione quietly, "This is a big step are you sure that you are ready for it?" She nodded.
Then he whispered to Ginny, "Make sure that everyone is ok darling and if they start looking for us say that we will be back later please?" she nodded then gave a happy smile to them both, Harry gave her a kiss then he said in a normal voice, "Will you excuse us for a while."
Then they stood and taking Hermione by the hand they left the room.
The pair of them went straight up the stairs in the kitchen to his bedroom and as soon as they were inside the door once again he said, "Are you sure that you want to do this?"
He could see the fire shining in her eyes then she kissed him, it was the kind of kiss that made him forget for a minute what he was supposed to be doing. Then with a sensuous expression she asked him, "Does that answer your question or do I have to make it plainer?" She started undoing the fasteners at the neck of her robe.
"No, no don't do that!" He said pulling himself together, "I know that this may not sound too romantic but if you are to be Magi we have a short ritual that must be performed first, but after that how long do you think it will be before they miss us too much?"
"It will be lunch in about three hours," she had a big flirtatious smile on her face, "we should undoubtedly be alright until then."
"Are you certain that this is what you desire," he said formally, "and that you are doing this entirely of your own free will?"
She could tell that the ritual had started, "I am positive." She also replied in a formal tone.
Harry waved his hands and her clothes changed, now all she was wearing was a light white silk gown that was completely open down the front, although it had one pair of silk ribbons tied in a bow between her breasts. The clothes she had been wearing were folded neatly on a chair.
"Are you prepared to receive this invocation?" he asked.
"I am truly ready for this privilege." She replied.
He held his hands out to her when she took them he said, "Peri y morwyn dewines 'Eithafol Dewins'." (Make this virgin witch Magi). A white glow came from Harry's hands and engulfed Hermione who floated off the floor and into a horizontal attitude, her gown remained in place, she drifted over to the centre of the bed where she settled gently. The bow of her gown undid and the front opened, now she was completely revealed to him. All his clothes had joined hers folded on the chair and although he had seen her body many times before his pleasure in the sight of her before him was very obvious.
She was still encompassed by a silver glow and his body was now emitting a golden glow, he opened her legs and climbed between them and as he thrust himself into her he said, "Hermione cydio y annedd am 'Eithafol Dewins'." (Hermione join the house of extreme magic).
She squealed as he entered her but as he started moving in and out of her gently, her pain seemed to ease somewhat and they started to move in unison, she reached her climax first and his followed shortly afterwards.
After a couple of minutes of them just kissing he knelt up and removed her gown which was now stained with her blood, he folded it then stood at the foot of the bed and held it up and said, "Hwn nyni cyflwno erfyn 'Eithafol Dewiniaeth'." (This we commit to ultimate witchcraft). The blood stained robe disappeared in a golden flash and the silver glow emanating from Hermione became golden and he said "Asio myfi Hermione". (Join me Hermione).
She stood and came to him and she did so because she now understood what he had said to her, then he took her in his arms and kissed her. Their golden glows became one and shone brilliantly for a few moments then disappeared, except for her eyes which had now become golden with emerald flecks.
"The ritual is complete." Harry said happily, "You are now Magi, so what is your wish now darling?"
She had an astounded expression on her face, "I suddenly understand such a lot," she said smiling lovingly at him, "and I thank you for all of it, also I know that I love you more than life itself so my wish now is that we make love. I completely understand the first time but this time let's be romantic."
So they did and they were, for an hour and a half then they talked, showered, dressed before going downstairs in time for lunch.
Her mother, father and all the others asked Hermione about the change in her eye colour as soon as they saw her. She told them that it was because Harry had made her into a Magi and she did not know what the colour of her eyes meant but she was going to try to find out and if she did she would tell them, if she were permitted.
Ginny was almost boiling over with excitement, all through lunch she was so bubbly it was almost funny and she demanded that immediately after lunch Hermione should tell her all about it.
"I have a couple more questions." Hermione said quietly to Harry, "Why were all the words to the incantation in Welsh? And how much can I tell Ginny?"
"I am surprised that you only have two questions but the words are in Welsh because Merlin devised the spells and they are not generally known among the Magi so be careful." Harry answered, "And you should certainly tell Ginny all about the Induction, also as much of the rest as you want to, although I don't think that she is really very interested in knowing about the rest."
"The rest is the romantic part and I want to know about it," said Ginny with a huge grin, "and everything about the Induction of course."
As soon as their meal was finished Hermione and Ginny went up to Hermione's room for half an hour and she told her almost all of what had happened earlier. Ginny became very impatiently excited she didn't want to wait until her birthday for her induction, although she knew that the time had to be right and that this would be the right time.
Hermione thought that they could do with a couple of Butter beer's and two were on her desk, that was the second tine she had just thought of something happening and it did. She suddenly realised what Harry had meant a few days ago when he warned her of killing with a thought and she carefully explained her feelings to Ginny. With the new power she had now she was beginning to see the reason for Harry's almost constant restraint, it was fear of his doing ill-considered things, she did her best to explain it all to her best friend.
Hermione collected the book she had finished reading then she and Ginny went back downstairs, they soon found Harry, he was in Merlin's study and he said, "We must go to the library."
Ginny kissed him then said with a big smile, "I think that I will go and watch another film then."
"No." Harry and Hermione said together, the three of them giggled, Hermione continued, "You should stay with us, at least for a little while."
When they entered the library Merlin was in the frame with Godric who said, "Hermione, you should give that book to Ginevra to read, ooh you have golden eyes like mine."
"Yes," she answered, "why? What do golden eyes mean, do they signify something special?"
"They generally indicate leadership," Merlin said, "the quality which convinces others to follow your lead, normally without you even having to try to persuade them, the green flecks denote goodness."
Immediately Ginny asked, "So what do Harry's and your green eyes indicate?"
"Completely green eyes indicate great power and a devotion to Good." Merlin told them, "Red eyes indicate dedication to evil and black eyes, such as Artimus Smith had, show a lust for power by any available means, several of the Magisterium members have these. You can judge for yourselves what blue eyes, such as those of your Headmaster, denote, a very complex character. Remember that this information is not known to the Magisterium so it will be as well to keep it to yourselves, what they don't know will not hurt them and of course it only applies to Magi, don't go judging everybody by their eye colour.
Now we must assess Hermione's magical power, you know that first you must read 'Principles and Practices of the Magi' the copy we have here has a lot of additions and embellishments; these have been added over the years by the various masters who have been Magi. Unlike the original, the copy here is now extremely informative so go and bring that here for you to read also find me a book called 'Illusions and Shape-changing'."
Hermione went down the far end of the room and her voice came to them, "I have found 'The Ultimate Art of Illusion' hang on I have found 'Illusions and Shape-changing' the one that you asked for."
"No," said Merlin, "we don't need 'Illusions and Shape-changing' can you find me 'The Magic of Merlin' instead please?"
She looked for about five minutes then Harry went to her and pointed at a book and said, "What is this book called?"
With a slightly sad smirk she answered, "I can't read the title of that one, but I would guess that it is 'The Magic of Merlin'."
As they walked back up to the portrait, Gryffindor said, "She is level nine then, very powerful, be extremely careful my dear. The only people you can not accidentally hurt seriously are young Harry here and a couple of other members of the Magisterium, oh and your Headmaster."
"Now," Merlin said, "you should all go to my study and read for a while."
They all went to Merlin's study where Harry converted the sofa into a filled in semi-circle, then he put it back the way it was and told Hermione to do what he had just done, she succeeded at her second attempt. Harry sat in the centre and the two girls sat one either side, they were all reading and this time all of their legs were intertwined and the girls had each rested their head on one of his shoulders.
Emma thought that this tableau looked even cuter than when it had just been Hermione and Harry on the sofa.
After about three quarters of an hour, with a wistful voice Luna said, "I do wish that Ron would sit here reading with me, like you all are, it would be so nice."
Harry said, "Merlin, can you think of any books that Ron might read voluntarily?"
"I can think of some," he answered, "about strategy, warfare, his heritage and some of his family history is rather spicy especially some of the early shenanigans, I will get Jiffs to sort them out. However it will be up to you to get him started and if it will help you can assure him that these are true historical records of his ancestors."
"Wait until he pokes his head in after the film he is watching has finished." Hermione advised. "If you try to drag him out in the middle of a film he won't be too happy."
It was only another twenty minutes before Ron, his film having finished, did indeed poke his head in and gave Luna a kiss then she said, "We have found some books that you might like. They're about your ancestors, come see."
Luna stood up and took Ron into the library where Jiffs gave Ron quite a small book to read, it was called 'The truth About the Queen Ygerne'.
Ron brought the book back into the study and Luna said, "Can someone do something with my chair please?"
Without thinking Hermione waved her hand and Luna's chair was the same as the sofa they were sat on. "Thank you," said Ron as he and Luna settled down to read.
"If I had known that it was that easy," said Emma, "I would have asked for one for us."
Hermione looked up from her book to see what her mother was talking about, her hand shot up to her mouth and then in a stunned voice she said, "Did I just do that?"
"Yes!" said Harry and Ginny at the same time, they both had big smiles and Harry continued, "You must think just a little bit more before doing things darling, someone might say something like, 'Can you get rid of these pests!' and when you wave your hand without thinking all their kids fly up on to the roof. I must admit that I can think of quite a lot of kids who I would like to send up on the roof but probably their mothers like them although, in a lot of cases, it beats my as to why."
Everyone was laughing and Hermione had a big grin as well but she realised that although Harry was also smiling there was a very serious message in what he had said. Then she waved her hand again and her mother's chair became a circular sofa and her father joined her mother on it.
Ron said, "I have never heard of Queen Ygerne, who was she?"
"She was King Arthur's mother," Merlin said, "and I am not telling you anything else, read about her you are certain to enjoy the tale."
They all settled down to resume their reading and much to Luna's pleasure Ron had sat with his legs entwined with hers, she was very happy because he very quickly became completely engrossed in his book.
A couple of hours later Jemma came in and told them that dinner would be ready in about ten minutes.
"That's good," said Emma stretching, "I'm hungry and I have just finished my book." So she stood up and went into the library where she collected another book from Jiffs, she returned to the study with it and left it there then they all went into dinner.
It had taken over seventeen years, but for the first time in his life Ron was talking, passionately, about something that wasn't either food or Quidditch. All through dinner he was talking about the book he had been reading, it appeared, much to Hermione's surprise, that Queen Ygerne was not so sweet and innocent as she was usually described.
She had listened to a fortune-teller, possibly the mother of Morgana y Cyfriniol, who had predicted that if she were to have Udder Pen-Dragon's child she was to name him Arthur and he would become king. So she persuaded Myrddin Emrys to befuddle Udder into murdering her husband and giving her a child, she was exceedingly beautiful and Udder eventually did what she wanted and married her. That was as far as he had read but he declared that if all history were like that he would keep reading it, how was it that Professor Binns had always managed to make it all so dull and boring.
They had finished dinner so the seven of them had gone back to Merlin's study and Harry said, "I think that it might be a good idea to do some training let me make a room."
"I didn't know that you had a room of requirements here." Ron said sounding a bit put out.
"I only created it yesterday and there has been no real opportunity to tell you about it." He said this as he was walking back and forth in front of the fire three times and then continued, "Will you come with us please Ginny?"
"Of course I will." She replied smiling at him.
"Can I come and watch?" Emma, Dan and Luna said all at the same time.
But Ron cut in, in an unpleasant tone, "So when were you going to tell me then?"
Not wanting to be provoked Harry had totally ignored what Ron said and answered the question from the others, "Of course you can all come, do you magic ones have your wands with you?"
Ginny said that she did but Luna told him that hers was in her room, so he held out his hand and offered her wand to her; she examined it closely and a big grin came across her face.
"IGNORING ME..." Ron had started shouting but his mouth had completely disappeared so he never managed anything else.
After a slight pause Luna said very placidly, "Ronald darling, you will have to learn to control your jealousy and your temper. Harry or Hermione and in a few days I believe that Ginny will join them can kill you with an accidental thought generated by your spite and temper. You of course are perfectly well aware that death is just as permanent if it is caused deliberately or accidentally and I happen to want you to keep breathing. So now I am going to ask Harry to give you your mouth back because I quite enjoy kissing it occasionally, so try to be a good boy and accept what you are given."
"Harry didn't do it I did," Hermione interposed, "and just so that you know Ron I will tell you that all I did was think 'oh shut your mouth Ron' and how you are, is the result." She waved her hand giving Ron his mouth back but she didn't stop lecturing him.
"If you think that you have problems not knowing things, think of how much worse it is for me. You never usually want to know anything anyway, but I'm Hermione 'in the library' Granger the information freak, she who must know everything. There are whole shelves of lovely books in the library here, there's even one called the Magic of Merlin, Harry can read them and I cannot even read their titles, try thinking about what that does to me, I know that it is a product of what I have become. I am going to have to learn to live with it but it doesn't help to know that even if Harry read all of them to me it would do me no good whatsoever because I simply am not powerful enough to do anything with the information they contain.
Being hard done by isn't your sole prerogative and it means different thing to different people, so whatever you had best be careful.
Now are you coming into the room of requirements with us and do you have your wand with you? I believe that Harry is going to have you all throw spells at me, you never know, if you're good, you might get to enjoy it."
"Yes I will come with you," Ron said contritely, "and no I don't have my wand with me and I am sorry, everyone." Luna came and kissed him then Hermione handed him his wand. "Thanks," he said.
They all moved into the Room of Requirements Harry had created, it was plain, bare and about fifty foot square. For Emma and Dan Harry conjured two comfortable chairs by the door then cast a completely invisible shield to protect them from any stray magic.
Harry cast a charm on the whole room to stop ricochets then he glowed white for a second and he told them that any spell that hit him would be doubled and sent straight back at whoever had cast it.
Then he told Hermione to do something similar, she had a grin on her face and she too glowed white and she said, "I'm ready."
Ginny cast a very gentle tickling charm at her then dodged its reflection that appeared to be travelling very quickly, Luna had been watching and cast a gentle jelly legs and dodged its reflection. Ron obviously hadn't been paying enough attention and he cast a powerful banishing spell at Hermione but it seemed to hit him as soon as it reached her and hit was the operative word, Harry instantly cast a full body bind on Ron, but being ridged didn't stop him hitting the wall, thirty feet away, very hard.
Harry pointed at the wall behind Ron and said, "I want a door to the hall outside the medical wing." A doorway appeared in the wall, "Ginny find the Headmaster and bring him to the medical wing and Hermione look after your parents." He waved his hand again and Hermione's parents were free of their protective shield, Ginny had disappeared up the hall as soon as he had told her to find the Headmaster. Harry levitated Ron then Luna helped Harry to gently manoeuvre Ron through the portal and into the Hospital wing, he was still explaining what had caused Ron's injuries to Poppy Pomfrey the nurse when the Headmaster, Deputy Headmistress, Emma, Dan, Ginny and Hermione arrived.
Poppy Pomfrey asked, "Can you reduce the strength of this body bind please Albus, I can't do a thing with it, but be careful not to remove it completely it could well be all that is holding him together."
Harry nodded slightly to the headmaster who waved his wand towards Ron and the relaxation in the strength of the bind was noticeable and Mme Pomfrey started carrying out her medical checks.
"Should I bring our parents?" asked a worried sounding Ginny.
"No, no Miss Weasley," Poppy said after a minute, "he seems to have about thirty five broken bones but they are all in perfect position, thanks to the body bind and nothing else seems to be amiss, so he will right as rain in a couple of hours at the most."
"I think that we should go to my office and you can explain what happened." The Headmaster said.
Luna said quickly, "I will stay with Ronald." The tone in her voice was unlike anything any of them had heard from Luna, it brooked no discussion.
"Certainly Miss Lovegood," the Headmaster said looking impressed.
When the group were settled in the Headmasters office Professor McGonagall said, "First we must decide what are we going to do about two Muggles being inside Hogwarts?"
"Please forgive me," Harry said to Dan and Emma, "you will be able to remember everything you have seen and heard but you will not be capable of discussing it with or in the company of anyone who should not know about it."
"Darling!" Hermione was beaming at him, "That was the kindest thing ever, so much better than a memory charm. I know why I love you so much." Ginny was smiling and nodding but if Hermione had been wearing Luna's radish earrings they would have been lost in the colour of her blush.
"I accept that from you Harry," said the Deputy Headmistress. "Now what was with the doorway outside the Hospital wing?"
"It was a doorway to the Room of Requirements, I created it because I was in a hurry with Ron, I have removed it now."
"You cannot just go creating doors to the Room of Requirements, it isn't possible."
"Excuse me Minerva," said the Headmaster, "but for Harry it is quite an easy thing to do and if my information is correct Miss Granger will be capable of performing the same trick soon as well."
"Is there anything you can't do Mr Potter? I suppose that if we wanted to go to the Leaky Cauldron you could Apparate from inside Hogwarts?"
"I have never ever attempted to Apparate but I daresay I could if it wasn't so inefficient." He waved his hand and a doorway appeared in the corner of the room, it looked like one of the Leaky Cauldron's bedroom doors, he smiled at the Deputy Headmistress and said, "So who wants a drink?"
"Is that what I think it is?" Harry nodded, "I don't think that we should have a drink," said Minerva looking ashen, "after an evening like this I would need more than one. So Mr Potter what happened to Mr Weasley?"
"Oh that was me professor," Hermione admitted, "we were in the room of requirements Luna, Ginny and Ron were supposed to be casting spells at what I will call my 'personalised x5 reflective shield'. It not only reflects whatever is fired at it back directly at whoever sent it, it multiplies it by five, that's both the speed and the power of the spell. Well being sensible the girls fired deliberately mild innocuous charms that they were able to dodge the reflection of, but..."
Ginny interrupted her, "But my prat of a brother decided to cast a full blown banishing charm at her, the damage came when his banishing charm x5 hit him and he hit the wall. Where the full body bind came from I don't know."
"That was my doing," said Harry, "I didn't have much time to think about it, even if I did I do not know what else to do and really even now I don't know what I could have done that would have been any better. I could see him splattered all over the wall so I did it to hold him together."
There was a light tap on the door and the Headmaster opened it and admitted Luna and too everyone's relief Ron who looked fine and he said, "Am I the worlds biggest idiot or what, that was an absolutely stupid thing to do and I believe that I have to thank somebody for keeping me alive?"
Harry looked at Hermione who said, "You don't have to thank anybody for keeping you alive, we only did it for Luna she would have been a real mope until she found someone else." Luna slapped Hermione playfully and everyone was smiling.
Harry said, "We had better all get back home." And before Professor McGonagall could ask he created an arch with Merlin's study the other side of it. "Do you want to come and say hello to Merlin?" He asked a stunned looking Deputy Headmistress.
She followed them all through and the Headmaster introduced her to Merlin and Godric Gryffindor who had come to join them.
As they were leaving Harry said to the Headmaster, "With all the funny student timetables and things you had better explain what's going on, we don't want the Deputy Head' to feel left out, do we." The Headmaster was chuckling as he and Minerva left then with the faintest pop the archway disappeared.
They had all just settled down with their books on their sofa/chairs when Arthur and Molly came in and told them that the video film they had been watching had just finished and they were going to bed. Then they added that the younger ones should not sit around all the time reading, every now and then they should all try to do something a little more active. It was not surprising that they were a little bemused when all seven of them burst out laughing, led by Dan and Emma.
Not long afterwards they all followed up to bed.
Authors Note: All the spells in this chapter are in Pig Welsh and are not intended to be grammatically correct.
One of my reviewers brought up the subject of Hogwarts letters, my take on the subject is that they are sent out when all the staff (i.e. the DADA Professor) are known and the correct book list can be issued. Certainly in book one the letters came before Harry's birthday and in book five it was at the very last minute, after she I refuse to name, was appointed by Fudge.
Also please remember everybody, reviews are the fertilizer of the Fan Fiction author so PLEASE REVIEW.
