The Two

Chapter 3

Depression Loves Love's Company

First came the letter. Ginny opened it and read it silently, the entire table watching. She handed the letter to Hermione who had sat down next to her. Hermione read it and widened her eyes who gave it to Harry and Ron. It read:

"Dear Ginny, Congratulations on being moved to your 7th year! I am very proud of you. As you know, a Green Howler and a Red Howler cannot be sent from the same house. I mostly sent you this to congratulate and warn you that your mother is not very happy with this. The Howler is from her. I hope you opened this first. I want you to know that the rest of us are quite pleased with you. Snuffles and Remus send their congrats, unfortunately they are away right now on certain business. Yes, Sirius, too, and I don't know anything about it, not that I'd tell you in a letter. Anyway, I hope you are well. Send the family, Harry, and Hermione my greetings. Love, Dad.

Ron read the letter 3 times before he said anything. He finally said, "Bloody hell! Mum's mad that you were bumped up? I wonder why?" Ginny replied, "Well, we'll find out." She opened the letter and it exploded. The letter turned into a mouth and the voice of Mrs. Weasly erupted through the silent Great Hall, "Ginny Weasly! You should NOT be bumped up a year! You are NOT ready and you will NOT be in your 7th year at 16! I cannot BEILEVE you accepted this- this- this whole ordeal! I hope you know that I am sending a letter to Albus Dumbledore and this will NOT happen! Do NOT get used to being a 7th year because that will NOT happen!" the voice then turned sweet and nice and said, "Have a nice day dear!" The whole Great Hall was silent for about 10 more seconds and then the whole room was filled with the sounds of whispers.

Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall walked from the Head table and came up behind Ginny and said, "Miss Weasly? Please follow us. We have certain things to discuss." Harry said, "Well, were confused and we want to know what's going on as well. May we…er…come, professors?" Professor McGonagall said instantly, "No! Absolutely not! We will not allow this-" she stopped when Professor put up a hand. He said, "It seems only fair that the 2 Weasly children come, and since Harry is now apart of their family, sort of, he may come as well. And because they will go and tell Miss Granger everything that we say anyway, she might as well come too." Professor McGonagall looked somewhat disappointed but hid it instantly. The whole group followed the two professors out of the Great Hall and up a few staircases.

They reached Dumbledore's office and he said, "Hershey," he turned to the rest of the stunned group and said, "it's my favorite Muggle candy. It's a quite delicious brand of chocolate, very good." The gargoyle turned and opened up a staircase. They all trudged forward up the spiral staircase and into a circular room with pictures of previous headmasters all chatting wildly until they spotted the group assembled inside. Once they noticed them, they all started whispering loudly about what they thought they were doing there. Professor Dumbledore sat down behind his desk and Professor McGonagall sat down on a chair next to the desk. The teenagers all found chairs spread randomly around the room. Professor Dumbledore was the first to speak, "Well, Miss Weasly, your mother did send me an owl last night and she feels it is inappropriate for you and your brother to be in the same year. She also feels that you are too young to be sent to your 7th year so quickly. I, however, have sent an owl to her explaining that if I did not feel it was best I would never had moved you." Ginny just nodded, and you could tell she was in wonderment and complete awe. Professor Dumbledore went on, "I feel you would do very well in 7th year and I also feel you need to be challenged. I expect a new letter coming soon with her answer to a proposal I have sent. I have asked to put you in this year and see how well you do. If you seem to be doing poorly then I will move you back. I'm still quite confused as to why she didn't want you and Mr. Weasley to be in the same year. Don't ask me questions about it."

As soon as he finished an owl flew through the open window and rested on the perch on Dumbledore's desk. Dumbledore took the letter it had brought and opened it. He said after a few minutes, "Oh my." Professor McGonagall got up and walked to the letter. When she finished she said, "Oh my!" Professor Dumbledore said to Ginny, "It seems something has happened." Ginny and Ron both widened their eyes and said, "What?" Ron kept saying, "Is it about our family?" Professor McGonagall just looked at them with sad eyes and Ginny understood. It was about their family.

Harry looked from Ginny to Ron and it was hard to distinguish who looked sadder or horrorstruck. Once Ginny started crying, Hermione gave her a hug. Harry got up and walked over to Ron and whispered, "You okay, mate?" Ron just turned and looked at Harry and then turned around again to stare into blank space. Harry took that as a, "What do you think?" So he went back over to his seat and just looked around. Nobody had even told them what had happened and yet they were all crying. Ginny calmed down a little and said between sobs, "What happened?" McGonagall looked at Dumbledore and he said, "Well, your mother has agreed to the idea I had, but that's not the bad news." Ginny's face went from relieved back to upset. Ron wasn't crying, he was choking them back and it was easy to tell. Hermione asked, "Well, what is the bad news?" Dumbledore answered simply, "There's been an accident." Ginny started crying loudly. Ron said, "Who? Who was in an accident?" Dumbledore looked from Ginny to Ron then to McGonagall and he finally said, "Your brother. Percy." Ginny still had tears coming down her face but she wasn't as upset. Percy had been mean to their family, she should only be a little sad for him. She knew it was selfish, but she didn't care. He said some terrible things to her dad. Harry was still confused so he asked, "Well, what happened to Percy?" Professor Dumbledore said, "He was at the Ministry late working for Minister Fudge. A guard was on his first night shift and thought that Percy was an intruder, not an employee. Panicking, he performed the "Avada Kedrava" spell and it hit Percy right in the chest. He was killed instantly. The guard is being sent to Azkaban for life. I am so sorry."

Ginny looked so sad. A tear slid down Ron's cheek. He wiped it away quickly, but Hermione saw it. She said to Harry, "Comfort Ginny, I'll go to Ron." He said in reply, "Ok." He got up and walked over to Ginny and pat her back gently saying, "It's okay, Ginny." Over and over he said it. Finally Ginny said, "I know he was awful to our family, but I still loved him. He is my brother, you know!" Harry replied quickly, "I know, Ginny. I know." Ginny got up and said to Harry, "I'm going to take a walk. I need some air." Harry looked over at Hermione patting Ron's shoulder. She looked at Harry and mouthed the words, "Follow her, she doesn't need to be alone!" Harry understood and said to Ginny, "I'll come with you Ginny. I need some air, too." They walked towards the door but Dumbledore stopped them by saying, "We won't tell the other students. Keep this between you all. I don't want this spread." All the children nodded and Ginny and Harry walked out.

Ginny and Harry walked along the skirts of the forest. They walked past the place Harry and Hermione shared that kiss. They walked past where Fred and George were caught trying to cut off some of the Giant Squid's arms. They finally got to a beautiful weeping willow. It wasn't the Womping Willow. That was taken off the grounds last year when it nearly killed a student. The two sat down and just looked at the lake for about 5 minutes when Ginny suddenly said, "Harry?"

"Hmmm?"

"Have you ever had your first kiss?"

Harry was stunned. This was an unusual question. He thought a minute and said, "Yes, have you?"

"No."

Harry looked at her disbelieving. She just stared at the lake and then looked over at Harry. She said, "What are you looking at?"

"You!"

"Why?"

"You've never had your first kiss?"

"No."

Harry moved closer to her and leaned in. She closed her eyes and leaned closer. Their lips sparked when they touched and they jumped back. Harry said, "What was that?" Ginny said, "I don't know. But I liked it." Harry said, "Me too." They leaned in and this time it didn't spark but it felt so good. Ginny though, "God, he's hot. He tastes so good. This is so magical!" Harry thought, "Damn, she is so hot. This is even better than Hermione, and that's saying something, as Hermione is an awesome kisser. She tastes so sweet."

They kept kissing and it got more passionate as Harry's tongue licked Ginny's lips, begging for entry. She allowed and parted her lips. Harry slid in his tongue and the kiss got even more passionate. Harry started kissing Ginny's neck when Ginny said, "Um, Harry?" Harry looked up and saw where Ginny was pointing. The branches of the Willow were closing in around them, making a canopy. They kept moving and soon they were in a room with walls of Willow branches, totally surrounded.

Ginny said, "Wow. Do you think this is a magic tree?"

Harry said, "I don't have a clue. We can ask Hermione if there's anything in Hogwarts: A History about any magical trees on the grounds. Would you like to keep going?"

Ginny nodded and they kept going where they left off, Harry kissing Ginny's neck. Harry had never had sex before. He didn't know if he wanted to go that far right now. Harry suddenly found his hand up Ginny's shirt and on her breast, and she wasn't pulling back. They started kissing passionately again and Harry was squeezing Ginny's right breast. With each squeeze she moaned slightly and Harry pushed her down to the ground and straddled her. They kept kissing like this. When they finally broke apart, they sat up, laughing. Ginny said between laughs, "Don't tell Ron we snogged each other. He'd kill you!" Harry laughed and said, "I know, I'm not stupid!" They got up and decided to go back to the common room.

"Oh my GOD!" Harry and Ginny both yelled. They had just walked into the common room and seen that Hermione and Ron were on the couch. Hermione's top and pants were off and Ron was sucking on her breasts and yanking on Hermione's underwear, trying to pull them off, while Hermione was pulling at Ron's boxers. Hermione and Ron looked at Harry and Ginny and like wise. Ron said, "Um, we were…umm…" Harry answered for him, "You were about to fuck each other senseless!" Ginny laughed and Ron said, "Yeah…umm…Hermione?" Hermione pulled her shirt towards her and said, "Come on, Ron. We can finish this in my dormitory, I have my own for now!" Ron looked at Harry excitedly and said, "Hell yeah!"

Harry and Ginny laughed as they watched Hermione and Ron race up the Head Girl Dormitory steps. Harry said to Ginny, "So. Today we were kissing. What next?" Ginny said, "I just had my first kiss. I don't know if I want to lose my virginity on the same day." Harry laughed and said, "That's fine with me. But I have one question. May I keep kissing you?" Ginny answered by grabbing his hand and pulling him over to the couch. She practically leaped on him and he caught her with his lips. So there they were, lying on the couch, kissing like mad. Harry had finally figured out who he was madly in love with. And he didn't use Sirius's dumb questions to figure it out.

Earlier that day, in the common room

Ron and Hermione were sitting on the burgundy couch in the common room. Ron was still upset and Hermione was comforting him. Hermione got up and looked out the window. Ron followed her over. Hermione looked at a Willow tree below and saw that it was moving, but there was no wind. She said to Ron, "There are some students under that willow. And they're probably snogging." Ron said, "How do you know that?" Hermione answered, "That's the Privacy Tree. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." Ron was thinking, "What HAVEN'T you read in that book. Geez, it must be like 7000 pages!"

Ron looked at Hermione and saw that she was looking at him. He walked to her and said, "Hermione. I have something I have to tell you. I have been in love with you since our 1st year. I have been keeping this in for 6 years. I can't hold it in any longer." Hermione looked stunned. Ron then leaped at Hermione and they fell on the couch behind them. Ron started kissing Hermione like crazy and to his surprise, she kissed him back. They kept kissing and finally Ron pulled Hermione's shirt off. He looked down at her bare stomach and covered breasts. Ron was staring at her breasts thinking, "whoa." Ron said, "I am so sorry Hermione. You don't want to do this with me. I let my emotions come in the way, I'm sorry." But to Ron's surprise, Hermione reached behind her and unsnapped her bra, which fell to her lap. She picked it up and threw it across the room. Ron was still staring at her breasts. Hermione slowly, pulled off Ron's shirt and kissed his lips, then his neck and was kissing her way down. She got to his pants and unbuttoned them and pulled them off. Ron said to Hermione, "May I? I am dying to!" Hermione nodded and Ron lunged at her chest. He started licking them and then sucking on them. Hermione started moaning in pleasure and pulled off her pants. They just lay there on the couch, Ron licking and Hermione moaning.

Then Hermione looked at Ron's boxers and decided she wanted them off. She sat up and Ron followed. She started pulling at his boxers and he pulled at her underwear. Then they heard, "Oh my GOD!" They turned around and saw Harry and Ginny staring at them by the portrait hole. After some laughing and some embarrassment Hermione said, "Come on, Ron. We can finish this in my dormitory, I have my own, remember?" Ron looked at Harry excitedly and said, "Hell yeah!" she pulled his arm and they ran up the stairs and heard Harry laughing downstairs. They opened the door to Hermione's room and fell on to her bed, kissing wildly. Hermione stopped him and went to the door and locked it, and then she went to her bedside table and pulled out a bottle of potion. She drank it quickly and said, "Birth Control Potion. Don't want to get pregnant!" She ran back to Ron and jumped on him, yanking at his boxers till they were all the way off. They dashed under the covers and Hermione pulled off her underwear and threw it out of the bed. Ron took up his new favorite hobby of licking her breasts and Hermione grabbed his face and said, "Ron, suck on them later. I can't wait any longer. I want you. Do it. NOW!" Ron just looked at her and then jumped on her. He kissed her once more, and did as he was asked.

Several hours passed and finally, they were both too tired to continue. Hermione kissed Ron and he did a quick spell to gather his clothes. While he was putting them on he said to Hermione, "Hermione. I realize I love you more than anything. That was the best. Thank you so much for doing this for me. I'm going to go now. I love you." He gave her one more kiss and left the room. He walked down the stairs, two at a time. He had the best feeling inside of him. He got to the bottom of the steps and stopped instantly, the good feeling completely gone at the sight that met him. His baby sister was asleep on the couch, in the arms of his best friend.
