A/N: Sorry about the grammar.

Discharged

"Oh, Hermione." Harry moaned into the skin of her neck. He had her pinned against the door of his bedroom. He knew he shouldn't have. He knew that they were going to come looking for him, but he couldn't help himself.

Ginny had come home the day before they were set to leave for Hogwarts. She was glad to go, she had been so tired of the hospital bed that summer. Her parents had gone to get her things at the Burrow. She was all packed and ready to go.

Grimmauld place was laden with people. The Order had had a final meeting before the headmistress and her two new teachers headed back to school. Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood came later to visit with Ginny, celebrating her release form hospital. They would be staying the night and heading to Kings Cross the next day with the others.

There was a veritable party going late into the night. At around ten o'clock Harry had just left the kitchen having gone to get a drink. He nearly stumbled upon Ginny and Neville, whom were whispering to each other softly. Occasionally Ginny would giggle at something Neville said and she'd turn and either kiss him, or caress him.

Harry felt a pang of jealousy, then remorse knowing that he had done much worse in her absence.

Hermione, however was in Ron's room with him. They were on his bed, his lips pressed on hers. She was not really interested. Oh she was aroused, and Ron recognised her arousal she responded to him, but not wholeheartedly. They snogged for hours.

Ron figured that this was his chance to make love to her, tomorrow it would be too late, she would be his teacher and therefore unattainable for him until summer. He didn't know that he could wait that long. He made a bold move and began to lift her shirt up to kiss at her abdomen. "Ronald please." Hermione said stopping the progress.

"Why Hermione?" He asked sitting up in frustration.

"I don't want it to go too far."

"'Mione I'm dying here," Ron pleaded, "Just let me touch it, or something."

"Ron, it's not some cat for you to pet. Besides I don't want to be a tease." Hermione said, "It's enough that we snog like some hormone crazed teenagers." She felt so hypocritical saying it, but she really didn't want him at all.

"But we are hormone crazed teenagers." Ron said running a hand up her thigh.

"I'm going back to the party." She said standing up and heading towards the door.

"Hermione, come on..." that was the last thing she heard as she closed the door behind her.

Just as she walked into the hallway, Harry was headed up the stairs. They looked at each other for only an instant, and Harry pulled her with him into his room. There they were pressed against the door of his room. Their sounds muffled as they sought comfort in each other.

"Oh, Hermione," Harry whispered again.

"mmm...yeah," she mumbled heading for a rapid climax. She knew she would just get caught now. She just knew that in this crowded house, someone would just walk in on them.

"I l- Never want to let you go." Harry whispered as an orgasm started to hit him in waves.

"Ahh... Oh god I feel it coming." She stated and the burst form within him sent her to her pleasure.

They stood there for a minute, locked in their embrace, then slowly they separated with silly grins on their faces. "You drive me insane with need." Harry said pulling himself together.

Hermione blushed as she straightened her skirt and pulled on her underwear. "I feel like such a hypocrite when I tell Ron that I'm not ready to... you know... when I've come this far with you six times."

Harry comes to her and holds her just to hold her. "We will tell him together soon, I promise."

"I think I need to tell him. But the longer it is, the harder it gets." She turns to face him and smiles wanly. She gives him a chaste peck on the cheek just as Ron bursts through the door.

"Harry, Remus is looking for you," Ron said pausing for a second to look closely at his best friends, " It's about the Vanishing Cabinet." It's just a friendly hug, that's all. Just a hug and a peck on the cheek. I mean Ginny's down there kissing some other guy, he must be completely distraught. Ron reasoned the position they were in, trying to erase the doubt growing inside.

Harry and Hermione looked at Ron, watching how he would react. "He's found it?" Harry stated carefully, hoping that Ron would let it go.

"I dunno." Ron answered still a bit distracted as he watched his girlfriend take her hands from around his best friend so casually. She had to be comforting him. "You all right mate?" Ron asked Harry.

"Fine." Harry said starting to move past him and out the door.

Ron then turned to Hermione, who started to walk past him. She looked guilty, but did he really want to know what they had been doing? No. I don't want to know. So he just let it go.

"Remus!" Harry said coming up behind the weary man. He looked haggard and tiered. "Did you find it?"

"Yes I have," Remus said moving them into a more private location. "I may need some help to get it out . It is in a werewolf town being guarded."

"What do you have in mind?" Harry asked leaning against the wall, just as Ron and Hermione joined them.

"Well, I'm thinking maybe some Polyjuice potion should do the trick," Remus said.

"That would take too long wouldn't it?" Ron asked running his fingers through his red hair.

"Ron's right," Hermione said, "Polyjuice potion, takes three months of careful preparation."

"I don't know maybe a cloak of some sort," Remus Countered.

"I've got it," Harry said heading up the stairs, skipping steps along the way. Minutes later he comes down with a brand new wizards hat.

"Of course," Hermione says watching him descend the stairs.

"I had forgotten about that." Remus stated with a grin.

"What's that supposed to do?" Ron asked, "No offense Harry, but a hat isn't going to do much for him.

"It's not just a hat, Ronald." Hermione said as Harry placed the hat on his head.

As soon as the hat was on, Harry took on the look of Lucius Malfoy. "That's bloody brilliant." Ron said in amazement.

"That just might work," Remus stated taking the hat that Harry was handing to him. "Now I just need to figure out how to take it out from there."

"What about a carry all," Harry said thoughtfully leaning back against the wall, "I mean Hermione practically carries her entire life in hers, and it's light weight and easy to carry even when it is full."

"I don't think a Carry all will carry the cabinet," Hermione stated, "It won't open wide enough to fit it in."

"A trunk, However, would be open enough to put it in there," Harry continued.

"And we would need a decoy cabinet wouldn't we?" Ron suggested. "So that it wont be obvious that it is missing at least for a few hours."

"You three are fantastic strategists." Remus said.

"We learn from the best," Harry said looking at Hermione.

"Yeh, we've been doing this since we were eleven," Ron agreed.

"And it shows," Remus said, "I will see if I could set things up then, I will be in touch... Professors. Mr. Weasley." Remus smirked as he headed out of the house.

"I still can't get used to that," Hermione said, walking back towards the stairs.

"Neither can I," Harry responded looking down at his feet.

"I won't have to call you that when we get to Hogwarts would I?" Ron asked moving towards his girlfriend.

"Oh please don't" Harry said as Neville walked up to them.

"I'm going to bed," Hermione said and kissed Ron on the cheek, then headed up to her room.

"Good night." all three of them said.

"Harry," Neville said, "may I speak with you for a moment."

Harry looked at his friend and conceded walking off to a den. "What is it Neville?"

"Harry, I wanted to apologize." Neville started. He kept on talking about him and Ginny, and apologizing for stealing her away from him. He is being such a man about this, why can't I do that for Ron? Harry thought as he listened half way.

"Stop Neville," Harry says, "It's all right. She deserves better than what I am ready to give her. If you can do it, just do it."

"We're still friends then?" Neville asked.

"Of course not," Harry said seriously, then smiled showing him that he was kidding. "Neville thank you for showing me the kind of man that you are. I hope that someday I am half that man." Then he walked off to his room, determined that he would tell Ron soon if Hermione doesn't.
