Chapter 18- Curses and Dueling tournaments

Harry woke up with a weird feeling in his stomach. He looked around on his bed and saw a naked Hermione sleeping next to him. Harry tried to think about what had happened last night and all he could remember was having sex with Hermione. Harry glanced at an alarm clock near his bed. It was seven in the morning. He decided to wake up Hermione before any of the boys saw her.

"Hermione, wake up," Harry whispered, shaking her gently. Hermione simply muttered something and continued to sleep. "Hermione, its me," Harry whispered shaking her again. This time, Hermione woke up.

"What is it Harry?" Hermione asked, looking around scared.

"I just thought it would be better if you went back to your dorm room so you could change or something like that and you can do it before the rest of the boys get up," Harry said.

"You're right Harry," Hermione said as she quickly put on some clothes then went back to the girl's dorm rooms.

Harry waited until Hermione had left the boys dormitories before he went to take a shower.

Hermione went back to the girl's dormitories in a hurry. She had wanted to get in then get out so that Lavender and Parvati would still be sleeping and not miss her. Hermione went up to the girl's rooms and finally let out a sigh of relief. 'Good, Lavender and Parvati weren't up yet,' Hermione thought as she went to get some clothes from her trunk to shower.

"So how did it go Hermione?" Lavender asked sleepily.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.

"You know what we're talking about girl. We know you did something with Harry last night and we just want to know what was it," Parvati said yawning.

"Oh all right, if you insist," Hermione said.

"So what did you do?" Lavender asked.

"I had sex with Harry," Hermione said.

"Ooh, how was he?" Parvati asked eagerly as Lavender giggled.

"Harry was real good in bed. He kept making me happy and I would like to do it again with him," Hermione said.

"How big was his... you know?" Lavender asked.

"I would prefer not to tell you. That is information only his girlfriend should now," Hermione said walking down to take a shower.

When Harry reached the Great Hall for breakfast that morning, he saw Lavender and Parvati eagerly waiting for his arrival. Harry sat down next to Hermione who smiled and kissed him when he arrived.

"Hey Harry, we heard what you did with Hermione last night," Parvati said as she and Lavender started to giggle.

"Right," Harry said as he started to eat some toast.

"We just want you to answer a question for us Harry. How big is your..well you know?" Lavender asked causing the rest of the Gryffindor table to look up and listen in along with some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.

"Just put it this way, Harry is big enough to make any girl happy and excited," Hermione said.

Harry looked embarrassed when Hermione said that while the reactions of everyone else was mixed. All the females nearby looked excited while the males started to laugh uncontrollably. Harry and Hermione continued to eat the rest of breakfast in peace while everyone around them started to talk about them.

"Crucio," Voldemort said, pointing his wand at a cowering Lucius Malfoy.

The curse hit Malfoy and caused him to scream in pain. The only reason Voldemort had to torture Lucius Malfoy was because Lucius Malfoy had gotten all soft when he heard that his son had died. Ever since, Lucius Malfoy was a shell of the cruel and sadistic man that he had used to be and now Voldemort had decided that he was no longer useful. Voldemort had also ordered another Death Eater to kill off Narcissa Malfoy and now he figured he would kill all the Malfoys.

"You are useless to me now Lucius," Voldemort said, removing the cruciatus curse. "You can now rest with your whore of a wife and son in hell," Voldemort said, before pointing his wand at Lucius Malfoy. "AVADA KEDAVRA," Voldemort said, killing Lucius Malfoy.

Harry and Hermione were walking up to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom when Harry felt a burning sensation through his scar. Harry cried out, stopping on the stairs and held a hand up to his scar.

"Harry, what is it?" Hermione asked with concern on her face.

"Voldemort just killed someone," Harry said as the pain stopped. "It's nothing really," Harry said as he grabbed her hand and continued walking to the classroom. They entered and saw that most of the class was already in there. Harry and Hermione sat down as they heard Moody arrive.

"Okay class we are going to be doing things a little differently today," Moody said, pacing around the front of the classroom. "First of all I have split you up into pairs and you are all to research a curse, write about its origin and history along with how to use it. I expect two rolls of parchment," Moody said, pausing to take out a list. "Okay here's the pairings- Abbott and Brown, Weasley and Zabini, Granger and Bones, Patil and Finnigan, Macmillan and Thomas, Longbottom and Greengrass, Nott and Patil, and finally Potter and Elhtkin," Moody said.

Moody then ordered everyone to sit next to their partner. Moody then went around the room telling everyone what curse they would be doing. Harry was partners with a blonde haired, blue eyed sixth year Hufflepuff named Julia Elthkin.

"Hi I'm Julia Elthkin," Julia said to Harry, offering a hand.

"I'm Harry Potter," Harry said, shaking her hand.

"I know," Julia said giggling. "You're so cute and handsome," she said with a blush.

Harry just sat there unsure of what to say as Moody told them that they would be working on the Avada Kedavra curse. "Should we meet in the library to start this today?" Harry asked Julia.

"Sure, want to meet at seven?" Julia asked Harry.

Harry nodded as Moody went back up to the front of the classroom to make another announcement.

"Another thing is that I have seeded everyone in the room on a scale of one to sixteen based on how good of a dueler you are. Everyone here will duel each other and there will be a five minute time restriction because I am starting a dueling tournament. Whoever wins this tournament will receive a special gift," Moody said his eyes narrowing. "First up is the top seed Potter against the sixteenth seed Nott," Moody growled.

Harry got up and saw a scrawny Slytherin named Theodore Nott get up. Both of them stood up in the front of the classroom and bowed. Moody gave a signal to start and Harry wasted no time.

"Impedimenta!" Harry shouted.

Theodore Nott easily ducked the impedimenta jinx and sent back another impedimenta jinx that Harry easily ducked.

"Stupefy!" Harry shouted after a minute of dueling. Theodore Nott's eyes widened in surprise and he tried to duck but the curse hit his shoulder, knocking him out.

"Well done Potter," Moody said before looking at a sheet of parchment. "Next is Granger and Elthkin," Moody said.

Harry sat down at his desk and watched the various duels. Hermione had easily beaten Julia Elthkin with a stunner while Ron fought Padma Patil to a close duel before he hit her with an impedimenta jinx causing Padma to fall. Neville had lost a battle against Justin Finch-Finley, Dean, Seamus, Susan Bones and Parvati had all lost their duels. Moody announced that in the next class, Lavender would face Harry, Daphne Greengrass would face Justin Finch-Finley, Ron would face Ernie Macmillan and Hermione would face Hannah Abbott. Suddenly the bell rang and everyone went to their respective class.

"What curse are you doing?" Harry asked Hermione as they headed toward the library.

"I'm doing the reductor curse," Hermione said.

"Well I don't know about you Hermione but I don't want to study just yet," Harry said, pulling her aside near the library entrance and kissing Hermione. Hermione did not object to Harry's kissing and they kept kissing each other until they heard two embarrassed coughs.

"It's nice to know that both of you love each other so much," Susan Bones said as she and Julia Elthkin came near the library, giggling.

"You're such a lucky witch Hermione," Julia said as Harry and Hermione blush furiously red.

"Well, shall we start our work?" Hermione said, ending the unpleasant conversation for Harry and Hermione.

Harry, Hermione, Susan Bones and Julia all entered the library and sat down in a table close to the entrance. After taking out their stuff, Harry and Julia were ready to start. Harry went to get a bunch of books on the killing curse then came back with over a dozen different books.

"Um, I will do the history and origins while you do how to use it?" Julia asked Harry.

"Sure," Harry said, starting to read and take notes on information relevant to his topic. After an hour working, Harry and Julia decided that they did enough for that day and agreed to meet again tomorrow night at the library. Harry saw Hermione was still working with Susan Bones and he decided to wait for her but he heard someone call him.

"Psst Harry, can you help me?" Parvati asked.

"Sure, Parvati, what do you need?" Harry asked.

"Well my partner is an idiot who knows absolutely nothing and won't do any research on the Imperius curse," Parvati said, looking around nervously. "I was just wondering if you could help me on how it feels," Parvati said.

"Sure Parvati," Harry said.

"Thank you so much Harry," Parvati said, giving him a hug and kiss on the cheek before leaving.

"Ooh all the ladies can't seem to keep their hands off you right?" Hermione asked, grinning at him and putting her arms around his waist.

"Like you can?" Harry asked, kissing her and taking her out of the library and into a nearby broom closet.

"No, but I can do other things like this," Hermione said, reaching up to take off Harry's shirt and kissing him passionately.

Harry kissed her back and unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her bra. Both of them were now kissing and shirtless but the door to the broom closet then opened to reveal Filch who saw them kissing. Harry and Hermione immediately separated and then Filch started to run in the opposite direction screaming.

"Oh shit, we better get out of here," Harry said, taking Hermione's hand and leading her back to Gryffindor tower, both of them holding their shirt in their hand. They ran back up to Gryffindor tower and didn't breathe until they were back in the common room.

"Well that was close," Hermione said, as she and Harry took seats by the fireplace. Suddenly they heard giggles and looked up to see that most of the common room was staring at them. Harry and Hermione then realized they had not put their shirts back on and quickly ran up to their dormitories to put their shirts back on.

Harry and Hermione were lying naked in Harry's bed for the second straight night. Hermione had placed her hand near a certain point under Harry's waist and her head on his chest. They had just finished a session of passionate kissing and were now taking a break.

Meanwhile, Harry had placed his hands around Hermione's waist and was staring at her body illuminated by the moonlight. Her light brown hair, which had gone past her shoulders was now lying across his chiseled and muscular chest like a blanket. Harry stared at her breasts and her firm ass for a few minutes before sighing. 'Hermione is so beautiful. Why didn't I realize it before?' Harry thought as he started to rub Hermione's body.

Hermione moaned in delight as Harry started to rub her back gently. "Oh Harry, that feels good," Hermione moaned, moving closer to Harry.

"I know. It's for the woman I love with all my heart," Harry said as he kissed Hermione gently on her forehead.

Hermione responded by going on top of Harry and rubbing her hands all over his chest. Harry was no longer the same person he was when they had first met. He had developed greatly and became muscular while growing taller and becoming a man. Hermione moved closer and kissed Harry's lips while he kissed her back passionately.

"How will your family react when they find out that I made love with you honey?" Harry asked during a break between kissing.

"What I don't tell them, they don't know," Hermione said, leaning her head on Harry's chest.

"Well, okay shall we do it again?" Harry asked Hermione with a grin.

"Sure sweetheart," Hermione said grinning back at him.

Harry didn't need any more urging. He started to kiss Hermione, who kissed him back then started to make love to her.
