Chapter 2 - Spilling It
Harry, Neville, Ginny and Luna were all sitting at the library studying for the upcoming transfigurations test, both Harry and Neville helping the girls every once in a while. They had been at it since dinner finished. Harry looked over at the clock; it was just after nine.
"Hey guys," Harry said getting the attention of the others. "I think I', gonna head up. I'll finish cramming tomorrow,"
"All right, G'night," Luna said. Ginny waved her hand and Neville said a low good night.
"Night," Harry said, picked up his books and left. He would've headed towards Remus's rooms, but he had to pass the library again, and that would look to his friends. So instead he headed towards the dungeons, cloaking him self in the shadows like he did long ago.
"Don't you think it's a bit odd that Harry always leaves at just about this time, some nights a week?" Ginny said looking up from the book she had currently been immersed in.
"Yeah it is isn't it?" Neville agreed. He put down his book and continued. "And when I reach the dorm his curtains are always closed, like he wants to be alone,"
"Somehow I don't think he goes back to his dorms," Ginny said.
"But he's always there in the morning," Neville explained.
"Maybe he sneaks in?" Luna offered. She too had dropped her studying material.
"Yup, I think we should go check up on him. Something might be wrong," Ginny said.
They all nodded their agreement. They picked up all their things and headed for Gryffindor tower. Luna put her things in her usual corner, and put a spell on it so nothing would get taken. The others put their things along with hers.
"Neville, why don't you go check on Harry?" Ginny said. "If his curtains are closed, tell him you're going to open them, and then do it. Ok?" Neville nodded in understanding.
He slowly walked up the stairs, taking his time. He really didn't want to intrude on his friends' privacy, but Ginny was right. Maybe he was in trouble. He reached the Seventh Year Boy's Dormitory and slowly opened the door. He walked up to Harry's bed and called his name out. He got no response.
"Harry," he tried again. "Well, I'm opening up," he said and did just that. He reached out his arm and pulled back the curtain.
All of a sudden he felt foolish for talking to himself. He frowned and headed downstairs again. He caught Ginny and Luna about to start a game of Exploding Snap.
"Well, he's not in his bed," Neville announced.
"I knew it!" Ginny jumped up, too excited for her own good. "This means we're going to have to wait up for him."
Luna just shrugged and relaxed in her chair, while Neville took a seat next to them and slumped down. Hours later, most likely around two in the morning, Ginny was the only one left awake. The common room had long since been empty. She had also put up silencing charms, incase something got loud. And in the silence, she clearly heard the portrait being opened. She nudged Luna and Neville awake. She saw the dark figure make its way to the stairs, but Ginny wouldn't allow that. She jumped from behind the couch and almost got hexed to next Friday as Harry pulled out his wand.
Harry had been walking back from a very progressive meeting with Severus and Remus. He had been surprised, and very pleased, to find Remus and Severus snogging on the couch. His presence probably wouldn't have been noticed if he hadn't made himself known. Or rather tripped on his way to join them.
But either way it had been a good night. He reached the Fat Lay's portrait, gave her the password. She was already used to his late night entries. He walked in and headed straight for bed. He didn't even notice the three lumps on the couch. That is until one of them jumped at him. From reflexes he pulled out his wand, and was bout to hex the thing, until he realized that it was Ginny.
"Good Lord Gin, you scared me," he said. Then he realized that the two other lumps were Neville and Luna. He didn't find it odd anymore that Luna spent the night. After all, she had more friends in Gryffindor than she did in her own house.
"And where were you? Hmm?" Ginny said, stepping closer and closer to Harry. Neville and Luna were just sitting and watching all of this.
"Eh- umm . . ." Harry babbled on. Oh, Shit. He thought. That's it, I didn't want to tell them, but now I have to. Over the last few weeks he had been contemplating telling his friends about him
"Um what Harry?" Ginny said sternly. She grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him over to the couch. She sat him down and grabbed a pillow for herself. She set the pillow on Harry's legs and laid her head on the pillow. "You're going to tell me what's going on now, young man," Ginny laughed a bit, and so did Harry. Although the four were close nit group, Harry and Ginny shared a bond, a very close bond. They shared the same family, and both had lost their brothers, sister and father.
"Look, it's a bit hard to tell okay?" Harry said, nervously looking from face to face.
"Then just start from the beginning," Luna offered.
"Well, first off," Harry paused. Ginny took his hands in hers, and gave him a reassuring smile. "Well, you see . . . I'm gay."
"I know," Ginny said. Harry looked at her with his jaw dropped open. "Geez, it's a bit obvious Harry," she said. "Remember last year, when the Slytherin quidditch team took all of the Gryffindor's quidditch team's robes?" Harry nodded. I saw you checking Seamus out, and then Angelina passed right by you in only a towel, you didn't even give her a second glance,"
"Am I that obvious?" Harry asked, astonished.
"Yeah," Neville said. "I remember when Professor Snape dropped the beaker that he was holding, he bent over and wouldn't stop staring," Harry blushed profusely.
"And I think you have the best sense of fashion, out of all the guys I've ever met," Luna said smiling.
"So you guys are okay with this?" Harry looked at each of their smiling faces.
"Of course," they chorused.
"I'm glad," Harry joined the smiles. "But there's more," at the curious glances from his friends, he continued. "Well, I'm with someone, or rather two someones,"
"Huh?" Neville asked confused.
"Who?" Luna asked curiously.
"Umm . . . Well you're really going to hate me for this but . . . Professor Snape and Professor Lupin." Ginny, Neville and Luna's expressions we're all the same; completely surprised.
"You're two-timing your professors?" Ginny squeaked out.
"What?! No!" Harry almost yelled out, but remembered that all his other dorm mates were asleep. "I'd never do that. We're together, the three of us, I love them both very much," Harry smiled.
"Professor Snape?" Neville asked.
"He's really nice when you get close to him. He's a sweetheart," The four of them laughed together, at even the thought of that. "Okay maybe not so much, but I love him. And Remmy too."
"You know it's against the rules right? They'll both get fired," Ginny whispered.
"I know, that's why you can't anyone. Please?" he pleaded.
"Don't worry Harry," Luna said. "We won't say anything at all."
"Thanks," Harry said. "Now can we go to bed? I'm exhausted."
"I'd bet," Neville said laughing.
"You can take the extra bed again Luna," Ginny told her friend. For some reason, the Sixth Years Girl's Dorm had an extra bed, which happened to be next to Ginny's, so they just made use of it.
Both Neville and Luna headed off to bed. Ginny was about to head up too but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder.
"Gin, could you do me a favor?" Harry asked her.
"Sure thing,"
"Well, tomorrow's a Hogsmeade weekend and I need to buy something, but I kinda need your help in choosing this," Harry was nervous, very nervous.
"What is 'this' Harry?" Ginny asked the anxious boy.
"Bonding rings,"
Ginny gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. My Harry's really growing up. She thought. She hugged Harry tightly.
"Of course I'll help," she whispered.
"Thank you so much Gin," he hugged her back. After a few moments, they separated and headed off to bed.
The next morning Harry woke early. He showered and dressed, and then headed back down. He waited a few minutes and Ginny still hadn't shown up. He became restless and headed back upstairs, towards the girls dormitories. After he found the Sixth Years, he opened the door and carefully walked inside. He found Ginny's bed and walked over to her. He found her sleeping peacefully.
"Ginny," he whispered. He got no response. He tried poking her and jabbing her. No use. He finally gave up and roughly shook her. That did it. She woke up with a sudden jolt.
"Harry? What are you doing in the girls dormitory?" she asked sleepily.
"I wanna head out early so no one sees us," Harry explained.
"What about Luna?" Ginny stood up, and began rummaging through her clothes. She finally found the ones she needed and began getting dressed. "I can't just leave her there alone,"
"Can you leave her a note? I left Neville one, I really don't want anyone to find out," Harry gave her the puppy eyes, and she couldn't protest.
With a quick cleansing charm and a note hurriedly written, they headed down. They walked to the front of the castle in peace, not meeting a single soul on their way out. They reached Hogsmeade not long after they left because of their quick pace.
"So what are we looking for?" Ginny asked Harry as they walked into the small town.
"I'm not sure, I know I'll love it when I see it."
"Well then that means we have to get started right?" Ginny slipped her arm through his and led him to the only small jewelry store in Hogsmeade.
They walked into the store. It was small but very welcoming. At least at a first glance. Harry and Ginny walked through the store, browsing through the rings. After searching the whole store, and declining the help of the creepy clerk, they found nothing.
"Nothing at all," Harry said once they were outside.
"Don't worry, I know another shop that's really nice. Only thing is that it's not here," she looked down, "It's in Egypt, I saw when we went to visit Bill."
"That's no problem," Harry said grinning.
"Harry, if you didn't realize, we'd have to apparate. I can't apparate. And it's way too bloody far," she protested.
"But I can, and I can apparate two people. I'm a bit more powerful you know,"
"You've gone and buggered off a wall, haven't you?" Ginny looked up at him. "I'm not getting my self splinched."
"You won't I promise," Harry held her close. "Ok now concentrate really, really hard on the shop."
Ginny was terrified. Absolutely frightened. But she trusted Harry with her life. And so she did as told. She concentrated on the place. With it's small wind-chime blowing in the wind. It was between a small café and a dingy bookshop. She remembered the sand swiveling in front of the store. She felt a tug on her body, but kept concentrating.
"You can open your eyes now Gin," she head Harry say. "See? I didn't get you splinched,"
"Nope, you didn't," she said and looked around. And sure thing, they were standing in front of the store.
They walked in and saw a very friendly looking woman standing behind the counter. She was far less creepy than the previous clerk. She walked over to them. Harry saw that she was actually quite pretty; she looked in her early thirties. She also seemed English.
"May I help you two with anything?" the woman asked.
"We're looking for bonding rings," Harry said. Maybe he'd find the perfect rings here.
"Well you've come to the right place my boy, my name's Marie," Marie said smiling. "A happy young couple I see," she said.
"Oh us?" Ginny almost laughed out loud.
"I'm sorry Miss, but she's just helping me pick the rings," Harry smiled. He had a bit more sense than to laugh at the lady; it wouldn't do well to offense the woman who could sell him the rings.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just assumed," Marie smiled at the teens.
"It's okay." Ginny assured the lady.
"But see, we're looking for a triple set," Harry said.
"Ah! A wedding for three! That's going to be very beautiful." Marie said. "This way, its where I keep the triple sets, they're gorgeous," She said and led tem to a small closed off part of the store.
"Why is this so apart from the rest of the store?" Ginny asked her.
"Not many people marry in three's any more. People are becoming so narrow-minded. There's only been two before you," Marie said.
"Really? Who were they?" Ginny asked.
"One group was a young bunch, barely older than you. One boy and two girls. Hm, cute they were. The other group was my two guys and me," she smiled sadly. "They were killed trying to protect me," she seemed to realize that she had been rambling. "I'm sorry, please excuse a woman's rambling,"
"No problem," Harry had been smiling sadly, but his face brightened, trying to lighten the mood. "So where are the beautiful rings?" he asked.
"Right here," she said and pulled back a curtain. Behind it was an array of rings.
Harry looked through them; he had only just started when a light shining off a gem caught his eye. He walked over to the set and gasped. They were beautiful. They were more than he could have imagined. They were perfect.
"Gin," he whispered.
"What?"
"Look, they're perfect."
And he was right. The band was a swirl of silver and gold, almost like a war for dominance, each side trying to gain the better part. But in the end, they both had won, creating a wonderful sight. There were four stones. One was a lovely emerald that could have rivaled Harry's eyes. The other was amber, in which a color so deep could only be found in werewolves. The other stone was a very deep obsidian, the Potions Masters eyes flashed in Harry's mind. And the last gem was placed in the very middle of all three; it was a large and beautiful diamond. All three of them were exactly alike.
"Wow Harry, it really is perfect," Ginny said astonished.
"I'm guessing you like those?" Marie said, observing their behavior.
"Yes they're perfect, who made these?" Harry asked.
"I did," Marie told them. "It's one of my favorites,"
"I'll take them," Harry said happily.
"All right then," Marie took them out of the showing case and brought them with her. She walked back to the front of the store, with Harry and Ginny in tow. She charged them for the rings, a little less than it had said but Harry didn't notice. She placed the rings in a beautiful velvet box. She handed them to Harry, who took the rings gratefully.
"Thank you so much," Harry said smiling. He slipped the case into his pocket for safekeeping.
"It's no problem dear," Marie said. "I hope you life happily, you and your loves."
"Thank you," Harry walked to the exit of the store, he opened the door for Ginny and was about to follow her but turned back. "If there's a weeding, you're invited."
"Thank you, I'd love to be there," Marie said cheerily.
Harry walked out of the shop and met Ginny. Again he wrapped his arms around her and apparated them back to Hogsmeade. There they met Neville and Luna who were on their way to the Three Broomsticks. They spent their day at Hogsmeade, and both Harry and Ginny kept quiet about their trip to buy the rings.
Sunday morning met both Remus and Severus quite groggy and tired. Both got ready for the day and headed for the Great Hall. Remus going down, and Severus coming up, from their rooms. They nodded a silent greeting to each other as they reached their seats. The owls came, and two school owls headed for the two professors. Both said the same thing.
Meet me in the Room of Requirement before dinner.
HP
Both looked at each other and shrugged slightly.
And just as they were told to do, Remus and Severus met Harry before dinner at the Room of Requirement. They waited outside for him to show up. After a few minutes they saw a figure walking towards them, it was easily recognized as Harry.
"Hey luvs," Harry said and kissed them both. He walked passed by the door three times thinking very hard on what he needed. A door appeared and he walked in, followed by his loves. "Surprise," Harry said.
"What is this?" Remus asked.
They were in a beautiful room covered in flowers, and a table stood in the middle, seated for three people. The room was lit by candlelight and slow music was playing quietly in the background. There was also a very big and comfy looking couch in the far corner. The room had an extremely romantic look.
"It's a bit of celebration for the end of Voldemort, and the beginning of a new time," Harry said.
"It's beautiful," Remus said. "You sure like to plan things don't you Harry?"
"Yep, gives me something to do," Harry responded.
"Never thought you to be the romantic fool," Severus commented. He smirked at the youth.
"What? You don't like it?" Harry said worriedly. He had hoped that his idea would relax the three of them.
"I love it," Severus smiled at Harry, a true genuine smile.
"You really have to smile more Severus, it looks good on you," Remus pulled him into a long kiss.
Harry took the opportunity to add another touch to the room; he charmed all of the petals to float about the room, except the dinner table. After Severus and Remus broke apart, they sat down on the table. The food was absolutely gorgeous.
"I would've gotten wine, but they won't sell students alcohol," Harry said.
"I'd hope not. I'd hate to see all the students rushing to me for a hangover cure," Severus laughed along with Remus and Harry.
When dinner was over, Harry led them to comfy couch and sat down. He snuggled in between Severus and Remus, holding both of them close. The other two wrapped their arms around him, and snuggled close.
"Never really thought you to be the snuggling type," Harry said over his shoulder to Severus.
"Prat," Severus said.
"Git,"
"Idiot,"
"Meanie,"
"Fool,"
"A fool in love," Harry pecked Severus and quickly ended their banter.
"You two still bring a laugh, time after time," Remus said. And he was right. No matter how many times Harry and Severus teased each other, he always found it adorable. Even if the Potions Master didn't 'do' cute.
"G'night luvs," Harry said.
"Night," both Severus and Remus responded.

agge: Had to put you aside. What do you mean by substitute? And well I tried not to make the changes on Neville and Ginny that big. After all in the fifth book Ginny started becoming less shy, so I'd think two years later she wouldn't be that shy anymore, right? And Neville, well . . . he's still shy. I just like to of it as common sense, when you're with you're best friends you don't act shy. Thanks soo much for your review. Keep on reviewing!
