18: After dinner Shenanigans
Seamus stared at the raven haired girl that lay next to him on the oversized bed. He felt weird about the whole situation. For starters he was in the Slytherin quarters. He had never dreamed nor wanted to step foot into the dungeons before, and now he was he understood why. The whole place gave off an aura of dampness and secrets. Even the homely room of Eliza's was marked by the dreary design of Slytherin. Unlike the rich warm colors he was accustomed to in Gryffindor; he was now surrounded by dark greens and harsh silvers. Even Eliza's friendly smile couldn't warm up the place.
But that was just half of what was troubling Mr. Finnegan. He was after all on the bed of Harry Potters Girlfriend. Sure nothing was going on, but what was that little display in the Great Hall about? If he didn't know better Eliza was trying to make Harry jealous.
"Did you hear me Seamus?" Eliza asked annoyed
"I'm sorry no. I was off in my own world for a bit." He stuttered
"This I can see. I was just saying that I think we are done for the night. The project is turning out great. Only a few kinks left to work out. Professor Binns will be pleased." She smiled
"I hope so my grade is riding on this." He added
"Mine too." She bit her lip "But I'm glad he paired us up, we make a great team!" she said as she playfully ruffed up his hair with her fingers.
At the unexpected touch Seamus hopped up off of the bed quickly
"Ok what are you playing at!" he said a little high pitched
"Huh?"
"Don't huh me you…you vixen!" he shouted
"Vixen am I?" Eliza said a little caught off guard and even more annoyed
"Yes, what's with the playing in me hair?" he shot with an all to heavy Irish accent
"I don't understand I do that to Ron all the time! Why are you so jumpy?" Eliza said coming to her feet.
"What was with that display in the Great Hall earlier Eliza? Are you trying to get me killed? Making Harry jealous like that. Is that what this whole thing is about?" He accused
"FIRST RON NOW YOU, WHY IS EVERYONE SO QUICK TO THINK THAT I WOULD HURT HARRY. WHY ON EARTH WOULD I WANT TO MAKE HIM JEALOUS!" she screamed now inches away from Seamus Adam's apple
"So you weren't using me then?" Seamus said now feeling a little guilty.
"Well I am using you, just not for the reasons you think." Eliza said finally calming down
For the next 16 minutes Eliza explained her plan to get Hermione and Ron together. After a few questions Seamus worries about her motives begin to disappear.
"Well it's a bit confusing isn't it? I mean going through all this trouble." He spoke up
"Well I didn't really see any other way. Hermione is becoming more depressed about the situation everyday. And Ron…well Ron is being oblivious and I'm hoping it's not by choice. Sorry I used you as the red herring but it was just too perfect and I knew once you knew what was going on you would understand. But you understand that's why I couldn't tell Harry about what we were really doing tonight or Ron would have caught on." She wrapped up
"Well if that bloody git can't see what a beautiful thing he has in front of him, then he deserves to be alone." Seamus said out of the blue.
"Come again?" Eliza asked
"I mean Hermione is everything a guy could want smart, beautiful and funny. Well not so much funny but that doesn't matter, she's really cool." He said red faced
"Seamus you don't fancy Hermione do you?" Eliza asked quietly
"What…me no. Besides everyone wants her with Ron." He trailed off
"Look nothing has been done yet Seamus; if you like Hermione just tell me and we can stop the plan now." Eliza continued
"No I don't like her! That's absurd to say. The plan is a good idea and anything I can do to help just ask. Now I gotta meet up with Dean. I'll talk to you soon. Remember if you need my help with anything give me and owl. Bye!" He said as he rushed out the room
"Bye." Eliza said to an empty room. She had a sinking feeling that Seamus wasn't telling her everything. She had to talk to Harry. For his advice and just to clear everything up.
Draco Malfoy had finished his book and he was greatly satisfied. Who knew Muggles could write so well. It was 9:00, too early to go to bed but to late to start on another American novel. He was bored. He had thought about visiting Eliza for a spell, but quickly thought better about that. After all she was the reason for all of this boredom. Normally Draco would be spending a Thursday night before a Hogsmede trip bulling first years with Crabbe and Goyle or shacking up with Pansy Parkinson or one of her best friends. But not these days. These days Draco had traded in his sleazy friends for those who wanted and could save the world. He had to admit when Harry and the gang got into trouble they did it big. Just the way Draco liked it. But the problem with that was that trouble and adventure came so rare. Draco was also frustrated. Sexually that is. With this noble thing, also came a consequence. This had all the setbacks and no rewards. No one petted him on the back for giving up being what some would call a "man whore" life style. Instead most people found it weird. He had to curse some poor second year for accusing him of "playing for a different team". But even with all that Draco couldn't bring him self to bed a girl no matter how much he wanted the quick fix.
With a heavy sigh he rolled off his bed and made his way over to his over sized mirror. He slow examined his self. His blue eyes were brighter these days and his hair had regained all its length. But this time his blonde tresses didn't remind him of his father. All he saw in the mirror these days was himself. And for that fact alone the change he had made or been force to make (he wasn't really sure) was more than worth it. Still it was a waste. Draco knew he was a specimen close to God and thought it sad that he denied women his company. Between his private dueling lessons and Quidditch his body was near perfect. And his stamina even better. He smiled a devilish smile at this thought. As quickly as the smile came it vanished, he knew it was all for not. The woman that he wanted and needed he could not have. At least not yet. Draco wasn't in to sabotoshing relationships. And he wasn't about to start now, he would let nature take its course. While he liked them both very much he knew he would be better for her. He also knew that the boy would screw up sooner or later, they always did. But when and if he ever got his chance with her he wouldn't mess it up. Draco gave himself one more look then made his way back over to bed. He couldn't sleep; he would start on that American novel after all.
Harry Potter sat in his favorite chair in the common room looking very grumpy. He had spent the past couple of hours tuning out Hermione and contemplating the earlier scene in the Great Hall. He was furious at Eliza. For the first time she was keeping something from him and it hurt more then he wanted to admit. He would get to the bottom of whatever she had going on tonite. And for Seamus's sake he hoped he was over reacting.
"So how about it Harry." Ron said smiling widely at him
"How about what?" He snapped
"Hogsmede. Let's got this weekend all of us. We haven't gone in ages." Ron spoke
"Yes Harry I do think it would be fun." Hermione added
"Ugh don't think I can, Eliza and I were supposed to spend sometime alone this weekend." He said distantly
"That's all you ever do." Ron joked
"Shut up Ron I think it's romantic." Hermione laughed
"Romantic. What do you know about romance?"
"Nothing I suppose." She trailed off
Ron instantly realized he had said the wrong thing.
"I didn't mean it like that Mione, I just meant…" he started
"Listen guys I'm off to bed." Harry butted in, as he started to get annoyed by his two friends.
"Bed, Harry its only 9." Hermione said
"I can tell time just fine Hermione. I'm just tired. See you guys tomorrow." He said as he exited
"What's his deal?" Hermione asked Ron
"Mad about Eliza spending time with Seamus I suppose." Ron said
"Jealousy. Now I think that's romantic. When a guy gets a little jealous, well I guess you know he cares." She spoke
"Well I get jealous over you sometimes." Ron said not realizing he had
"What?" Hermione smiled
"I mean your smart and all. I guess I just enjoy your company." He said red faced
"Thanks I think." Hermione smiled
"So what about you?" Ron asked
"What about me what?"
"Hogsmede do you want to go?"
"Ron, Harry and Eliza have plans and I'm sure Draco is going to be busy with a new conquest." Hermione stated
"So. Doesn't mean we can't go does it?" I mean we are still friends. Do we need a group to be around to do things?" He asked bravely
"Of course not Ronald. You know I love your company. But just the two of us, don't you worry people will get the wrong idea." Hermione laughed
"So what if they do Hermione. I don't care what people think. And why would that be the "wrong idea"?" Ron asked
"I just meant…wait what are you saying Ron?" Hermione asked hopeful
"What I'm trying to do is ask my friend to Hogsmede, and who cares what happens or doesn't happen." Ron smiled at her
"It would be fun Ron, of course I'm in."
With that Ron pulled a book out of his sack and then took a seat next to Hermione by the fire place. He didn't say a word as he handed her the book. Once she smiled and took it from him, Ron laid his head in her lap. He watched the crackling fire as Hermione gently read "Quidditch Strategy year: 12 to him.
Harry paced the floor of his bed room. He had come up to grab his invisible cloak so he could track down Eliza. Seamus wasn't back yet which made Harry even more on edge. He had decided to do a little pacing to get his mind right and calm himself down. If he didn't he was afraid he and Eliza would have a screaming match. And if that happened Harry was sure she would win. His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in." he grunted
"Harry." Eliza said innocently
"Don't Harry me." He grunted
"Oh not you too." She sighed realizing where this was going
"Sorry Seamus isn't here if that's who you were after." He snapped
"Quit being an Arse Harry. You know I'm not looking for Seamus."
"Well I'm on my way out so state your piece quickly." He coaxed."
"Fine." She blurted
And for the second time that night Eliza retold of her plan for Ron and Hermione.
"Oh." Is all Harry could say he was so relived
"Do you feel stupid now?" Eliza smiled
"Kinda, but not really. I don't like you keeping things from me." Harry whined
"Harry I already told you."
"Yeah yeah I know, you didn't want Ron to find out. I know, and I'm ok with everything now." He smiled as he took her into a warm hug
"Good cause I need your help."
"With what, it seems like you have everything pretty much worked out now. Its up to Ron now isn't it?" He said as he led her over to the bed for a seat
"Well something unexpected came up."
"Like?" Harry said with a raised brow
"Seamus. I think he likes Hermione."
"That's absurd Seamus has known Hermione for as long as we have and has never said anything about it."
"Of course not to you guys. You two are like her own personal body guards." Eliza said sternly
"Jealous?" Harry said poking her lightly in her side.
"As if, I'm just saying it would be hard for a guy to get close to her that's all."
"Well what if you are right? What can we do now, Seamus has no one to blame if he hasn't made a move on Hermione. Besides wouldn't it be great if Ron and Hermione would pair up. All we would have to do is find your little blonde haired lap dog a mate and we are all set." Harry grinned
"Harry shush!" Eliza slapped his face playfully
"Ha, Monty all I'm saying is that you have already done that annoying thing girls do called interfering. At this point you gotta let the best man win. Either Ron will make a move or Seamus will speak up. We owe it to Hermione to let the one who wants her the most have her." He said thoughtfully
"You actually make since." She winked at him. "Well I better get going; you said you were on your way out. I've kept you to long as it is." She said
"Shut up, you knew I was coming to see you."
"Oh what for?" she said slyly
"Well to get this whole thing straighten out, a well…hopefully a late night snog."
"Ha well I certainly have put you through a lot in these past few hours. I guess I can give you that much." She laughed "How about you use that cloak of yours and meet me in my room in oh about 15 minutes?"
"Sure thing." Harry started. "Hang on; it just occurred to me that vie never made out with my girlfriend in my own bed. Why is that?" Harry grinned
"Well maybe it has something to do with your four roommates Harry."
"There are ways to get around that you know. I can set a silence charm so they won't hear. And then I'll do a glamour spell to make it appear that I'm fast asleep." He said hopeful
"You are serious about this?" Eliza asked
"Yes. C'mon don't you think it would be kind of exciting?" He said with a raised eyebrow and an irresistible smile
"Exciting yes, but Harry also risky. What if the spell fails or goes wrong?"
"Ha, I'm the great Harry Potter haven't you heard. My magic never goes wrong." He teased
"Alright Potter you are on." Eliza said simply
"Really?" Harry said surprised she agreed to it
"Yes. But I have nothing to wear."
"That would be the point." Harry joked
"Oh hush."
"Kidding, just kidding. Grab something out of my trunk. I'm going to hop in the shower. Care to join?" He smiled
"Sorry lover but even your invisibility cloak won't hide us in there. Just hurry back." She winked
With out another word. An over excited Harry ran to the showers.
Minutes later Harry returned to his room. In all of his excitement he had forgotten to grab any pajamas as a result all he had to cover himself was his towel. Much to the happiness of many young Gryffindor girls who got to see a wet Harry make the long trek back to his room. Harry didn't care though, he had more important things on his mind. When he reached his room he was happy to see that it was still roommate less. He was greeted by the most beautiful site he had seen in ages. There he saw Eliza sprawled out over his bed in nothing, but an oversized bright yellow t-shirt with a single picture of a giant toad across it. She had pulled her long raven hair back into a tight sleek bow, which was just the way Harry liked it. That way he got to see hr whole face. He stood in the door framed just staring and drooling at his girlfriend. He couldn't believe she was his.
"Wow Potter, bet you gave all the girls got a good show with that ensemble." Eliza joked
"Yes well they can look but never touch its all for you." He winked
"Promise?" she said suddenly serious
"Promise."
"Do you like my outfit?" she said stretching out the t-shirt
"It's very sexy." He said making his way to the bed.
"Ha, I was going for hilarious. I didn't figure you to wear a shirt like this." Eliza said
"That's because I wouldn't. You went in the wrong trunk, that's Neville's shirt." Harry laughed loudly
"Oh my! I better take it off."
"Don't you dare it looks much better on you." Harry said before he leaned in a placed soft kisses on her neck.
"I think you better set those spells Harry before we don't care anymore who catches us." Eliza said breathlessly.
Harry did what he was told sloppily yet effectively. He wanted Eliza bad and he wanted her now. They continued to exchange passionate kisses with one another until they were rattled by Seamus and Dean emerging into the room.
"Are you sure they can't see us?" Eliza said separating from Harry.
"Nope, they can't hear us either…watch." Harry said before he burst out into a high pitch whale. In turn proving that the two boys were completely oblivious to the sound.
"Arrg…I get the point. You can shut up now." Eliza said covering her ears.
"Ha fine." He Chuckled. "But where were we…he said reaching inching closer to Eliza again.
"Let's just lay here for a bit." Eliza said turning her head away from Harry's advances.
With a grumble Harry obliged and lay next to her.
"Eliza if you are that worried about them catching us, then we can sneak down to your room." Harry said taking her in his arms for a snuggle.
"It's not that Harry…well not so much. Its just that, maybe I can get some incite on the way Seamus feels about Hermione." Eliza mumbled
"So you want to spy on my friends then? That's the only reason you agreed to this." Harry said amused yet somewhat offended
"No Harry! I just thought of it when they walked in."
"Eliza even if Seamus does like Hermione, I thought we agreed to let him and Ron to sought that out now…" Harry scowled
"I know, but …" Eliza started. She was interrupted by Seamus's shouts
"I DON'T WANT HERMIONE!" Seamus shouted only inches from Dean's face
"Yeah mate, I'm sure you get this heated over everything." Dean laughed
"I told you I'm helping Eliza pair Ron with Hermione. Why would I do that if I had a thing for her?" He pleaded
"I don't know mate, you just seem a little off whenever Hermione comes up in talk." Dean said
"Hmmpf…well I'm not!" Seamus muttered as he went through his trunk for his night wear.
There was a pause in the room. Dean had too made himself busy with his night preparations careful not to make too much noise, in fear of annoying his pale friend. Harry and Eliza just laid together quietly, debating amongst themselves whether to continue to listen or go back to snogging. Finally the silence was disrupted by a smiling Neville entering the room.
"Oy Neville, what are you all smiles about?" Dean spoke
"Homework…with Cho." He winked
"Enough said." Dean smiled and patted Neville on the back as he passed
"Yeah, her snogging completely makes up for her lack of emotional stabiltliy. Harry was right she does cry a lot." Neville said as he began searching wildly trough his trunk for something.
"Ha." Smirked Dean
"I can't believe you have snagged Cho, even if she is Potters leftovers." Dean muttered
"Gee thanks." Neville said still searching his trunk
"Don't mind him Neville." Dean shot Seamus a look
"Yeah, sorry Neville," Seamus said suddenly ashamed
"Its ok, I would be jealous of me too." Neville joked.
"Hell I'm jealous and I got Ginny." Dean smiled
"Ginny is hot." Neville said getting annoyed with his search.
"Don't talk about my sister like that." Ron said as he entered the room and glared at Dean
"It wasn't me mate. I respect Ginny." Dean blurted out
"You better." Ron muttered as he threw back the sheets on his bed.
And with that everyone begin to make their final preparations for bed. The silence was only interrupted by Neville's final comment.
"Has anyone seen my yellow shirt?"
Eliza gave a startled cry and Harry for his part tried to stifle a laugh.
"I guess you will have to give the shirt back after all." Harry said winking down at Eliza as he made his embrace on her tighter
"I guess so. I wonder if your friends talk about me like that."
"Like what?"
"Like a piece of meat."
"Ha, come off of it. You know you girls talk just the same, probably worse."
"Doubtful Harry."
"Maybe so, but I don't mind. The guys are never disrespectful to you. Maybe they don't say it so politically correct, but they do know a pretty girl when they see one.
"How about you Mister Potter? Do you know a pretty girl when you see one?" Eliza said slyly
"Hmmm, I think I can show you better than I can tell you." Harry replied with a wink.
With no more words the two young lovers embraced in passion.
It started out with slow kisses from Harry on Eliza's collar bone. She let out soft little moans of pleasure that got more intense when the kisses turned into gentle sucks. Soon Eliza's moans became grunts. This made Harry almost lose his mind…and something else. With out asking her permission, Harry grabbed at the yellow shirt that was the only thing separating his bare chest from Eliza's. When it didn't come off quick enough, Harry muttered a shredding spell, which tore it quickly from Eliza's flesh. So much for Neville's shirt he thought. When the cool air hit Eliza's skin, she gasped in pleasure. Harry for his part let out a gasp too, his though for very different reasons. Harry was reunited with a sight that he hadn't seen since his time at Snape Compound. Eliza's D breast capped off by her perky nipples. Harry didn't know what to do first, gaze out of admiration or attack them with his wanting tongue.
"Harry…" Eliza said pleadingly
Not wanting to make his girl wait any longer, Harry took one of the breasts in his mouth, and began rolling the nipple over his tongue. This made Eliza's once soft moans turn into random screams. Harry was surprised. He had never done this before, but some how he knew exactly what Eliza would like...what he would like.
Harry decided to come up for air to give his girlfriend a kiss.
"It's a good thing; we have this silence Charm, because you could wake up the whole school." He teased
"Well, you're just that good." Eliza said out of breath.
"Well it's going to get better."
"I don't see how." She smiled
Without another word Harry gave Eliza A devilish grin. He climbed on top of her, and with out warning threw her legs around his broad shoulders.
"Har…Harry what are you doing?" She laughed
Still not saying a word, Harry lifted her slightly off the bed. Before she knew what was going on, Harry's Head disappeared between her thick thighs.
"Ha…Har…Harr…" His all Eliza could get out before she lost all control over her thoughts.
Harry took this as a sign that he was doing this right. He was surprised to see that he actually enjoyed tasting Eliza. From what he had heard from friends, this was just something guys did once a year to shut their girlfriends up. But he liked the feel of Eliza grinding uncontrollably against his mouth. He loved the way she tasted salty but sweet. After about twenty minutes of loud moaning, Eliza went silent. Her grinding movements turned into sparatic jerking movements. Harry could feel her Pulsating in his mouth. And all at once it happened. She let out the loudest whale Harry had ever heard; he was worried that she had broken his silence charm. Then she collapsed, letting out little trembles as her body calmed down. She grabbed for Harry frantically and wrapped her arms around him tightly. Harry for his part just lay their and stroked her hair. After several minutes Eliza calmed down.
"Harry…that was…that was…Amazing." She said a little embarrassed
"I thought so too." He smiled
"But you didn't have to."
"I know, but I wanted to. And I liked it very much." Harry said honestly
Eliza looked into his eyes, and smiled. She then began to get out of Harry's hug, and made her way down to Harry's stomach. She was surprised when Harry stopped her and pulled her back up.
"What is it?" she asked
"I don't want you to Monty." Harry said gently
"Why not? You don't want to know how it feels?" she said
"Sure I do, and you will have plenty of time to show me. But right now all I want to do is hold my girl." He said truthfully
"I love you Harry." Eliza said
"I know."
With that they each disappeared into their own thoughts.
