Author: Joy
PLEASE READ: Sorry for the slowness guys. Family stuff has popped up and life has not been good. I was pretty disappointed with the lack of reviews...but next chapter you get your sex scene. Depending on how graphic I make it some of it may get posted on my livejournal.
19. Giving a good story
Harry knew his proposal left a lot to be desired. Girls like big romantic gestures or at least a good story to tell. All Ginny could really say was Harry proposed while she lay in the hospital wing and it saved her from Tom...again. He didn't even get on one knee.
Ginny got out of the hospital wing rather weak at first. There was much buzz over the diamond ring she now sported but she was too tired to care. It took a little over a week for Gin to regain her strength but once she did she too felt Harry's proposal as lacking. Hermione and Hope ironically enough worked together to put a positive spin on the whole thing, while Ron didn't understand what the big deal was. Everyone knew Harry and Ginny would marry, so now she was just wearing the ring. Draco however took a proactive approach to the whole thing.
"Here," the blond Slytherin said and pushed an antique key into Harry's hand.
Harry felt some sort of magic in the key its self. "What is this?" he asked.
"That is the key of Fable."
"Okay...What is the key of Fable?"
Draco stared a minute, "I swear sometimes you and I go to two different schools."
"D...help me out here, 'cause I feel like I am missing some vowels," Harry complained with a sigh.
Draco took back the key and stuck it in the broom closet's lock that stood next to them. He opened the door and it wasn't a closet on the other side but a fancy bedroom with a king size canopy bed with gauze curtains framing it. Draco shut the door and walked a few doors down to a classroom. Once again he put the key in that door's lock and opened it. The same room appeared on the other side. He turned to Harry, "This is the floating room of Sanctuary. The only way in is by the key of Fable. I am giving this to you on loan so you can make it up to Ginny that your proposal was a bit...flimsy. Besides I know from discussions with Hope and Gin had thought that she would give you her virginity when you gave her an engagement ring."
Harry's eyes went big, "She did."
"Oh Merlin...its true? You and Ginny are all over each other all the time...How the hell have you not taken her virginity yet?" Draco chastised.
Harry looked put out, "Not that it is any of your concern but I wanted there to be a true commitment between us before we added sex to the mix. I would have been fine waiting until marriage if that's what she wanted."
"Well she wants you to pop her cherry."
"Thank you for the visual."
"Look...just set up the room the way you want it on Friday afternoon. I'll swing it that it appears that you and Gin have left for the weekend. You two will spend your time here and then return Sunday night," Draco stated.
"How can we stay? We need access to food, drink, and facilities," Harry snipped.
Draco motioned Harry over to a table along the back wall of the Room of Sanctuary. "Food and Drink," he said in a commanding voice and soon food and drink appeared. He then nudged Harry to a wall on the opposite side of the room. There was a box shape on the door at eye level. Draco raised his hand and placed it on the box...and the door melted away to reveal a bathroom only slightly less grand then the prefect's bathroom. It was smaller...more romantic.
"Why is this place here?" Harry asked suddenly.
Draco shrugged, "I had always heard it was for guests or secret get-aways...the last is partially true."
"How so?"
"If you haven't noticed the castle is...well...sort of alive... It seems early in the founding of the school there was a very young professor that fell in love with one of his students. He knew the relationship would be frowned upon so he married the girl quietly. One day he and his bride were about to fool around in his room when the key appeared magically. Apparently Ravenclaw had bewitched all of the Professor's rooms to sense...relations shall we say. Anyway, they used the key and the room appeared. I bet it's not even on your map," Draco said with a smirk.
"How?"
"The Marauder's Map is legendary. I was quite jealous to discover your father was one of them... But back to the matter at hand. You need to think of something romantic, something sexy, and something showing your commitment to make this work."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Harry sighed and flopped back on his bed. It was moments like these that he wished his dad were alive. He then sat up and shook his head. "I have the next best thing. What am I grumbling about?" Harry mused to himself.
"Dad...Dad..." Harry said to one of his photos.
James' face turned to him with a small smirk, "Yes my boy."
"Ginny and I have gotten engaged."
"So I have heard rumblings...Not the most romantic of methods...You need to make that up to her."
Harry ran his hand through his hair just as his father always did. "I know. Draco is helping me out believe it or not. I have a magical room at the school lined up for the weekend."
"The Room of Requirements?"
"The Room of Sanctuary."
James smirked, "I thought that place was a myth the Slytherins made up."
"Nope...anyway, this is going to the be...well we're planning to..."
"Out with it Harry."
"I'm gonna lose my virginity this weekend."
James nodded his head, "Okay...that seems rational. You managed to say it out loud which is progress. Now I know your mother has gone over a lot of this stuff with you but..." He sighed, "Harry when I lost my virginity it was just some girl and I wanted the experience. This is different. With Lil I knew what I was doing...which was good and bad at once."
"How so?" Harry asked.
James shrugged, "Well I knew that I needed to be gentle and not overexcited. I knew that I really needed to be sure that Lil's body was ready to accept me before I took her virginity so she wasn't in so much pain and she could enjoy some of it. The bad side was Lily was insecure about all the girls that came before her...if I would compare, would I think someone else was prettier or better. You are really fortunate to be with the person you are going to be with always. There won't be any of those fears... But son you have to put her first or you will kick yourself later."
Harry smirked, "You and Sirius compared who got the most girls off, didn't you?"
"That is beside the point."
Harry laughed and continued to listen to his father as he thought how thankful he was for these moments he was allowed.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Friday after noon rolled around and Gin was done with classes when Professor McGonagall came up to her in the hall. "Miss Weasley...I realize with the responsibility facing you and Potter it is natural for you to form such a commitment to one another even at this young age. While I understand the reasoning I am very hesitant to allow you and Mr. Potter off campus this weekend."
Ginny listened carefully and decided not to contradict her.
"Therefore I am giving you this for the trip," McGonagall announced handing her a potion bottle.
"What is this Professor?" the redhead asked quietly.
"Insurance that I will not be interrupted in class next year by a screaming infant."
"Professor?"
"That, Ginevra, is the strongest protection potion there is. I suggest you duplicate it multiple times...and save the original for future multiplications. While I know you are both responsible individuals I am not naïve enough to believe that you will refrain from carnal delights given the opportunity. Take the potion as soon as you have made enough copies for the weekend and then meet Mr. Potter... And for Merlin sake make him take care of you. I don't want you walking funny when you return." With that Professor McGonagall walked briskly away only to reveal a laughing Hope behind her.
"What was that all about?" Ginny asked her friend.
Hope had a huge smile on her face, "You, my dear, are getting a weekend alone with your fiancé and I have been assured that this weekend will make up for the lameness of your engagement."
"Really?"
"Yes...now Hermione and I have already packed a bag for you. I'll help you make copies of the potion and get you ready...I would wear something naughty under that uniform."
Ginny grinned, "That I can do."
