Hermione ran away from the Room to Gryffindor Tower, and fell on the first couch on her way. She laid there, head on a soft pillow, crying her eyes out. She was shaking so badly that she almost fell of the couch. But just then Ron came by and caught her, and put her on his lap. He hold her while she was crying on his shoulder, stroking her hair and whispering sweet nothing in her ear. She calmed down a bit, and just staid there, taking comfort in Ron's heat.
They heard a commotion near the door, and Harry and Ginny entered the room, snogging each other senseless. When they saw Ron and Hermione, they wink at them mischievously. But Ginny noticed the trails of tears on Hermione's face, she kneeled by her and took her hand.
"Hey honey what's up? Why all the tears?"
"It's Draco again! He...he..."
She told them what happened, and she burst in tears once more.
"I don't understand, he seemed to change in a minute! I didn't recognize him, even his eyes had changed of colour!"
"And it was not the first time!" added Ginny. "I wonder, maybe he really is under some spell! But how could we check it?"
"Well, maybe we can tie him to a chair ad check spells or potions!" thought Ron. But Hermione disagreed.
"Just imagine that we are wrong! He is going to hate us all life long after that!"
Harry cut her.
"Honestly, Hermione, after what he did to you, you still have scruples! Even if he is under some spell, we have to free him! We can't risk him to destroyed our friendship! And have you thought about Luna? What if he hurt her? I like Draco, we all do, but we have to stop him before someone is harmed! Even him!"
Ginny caught his arm and tried to soothe him like she always did when he was unnerved, and pecked him on his cheek. He immediately replied kissing her lips, and seemed to calm down, judging his dazed look.
"Ok! Well! No need to panic! Hum... Let's see if that happens again, and if it does, we'll do what we just said, ok?"
"Alright darling. But I was thinking... what about Luna? After all, she is his girlfriend!"
None of them said anything. Instead, they looked at each other, in hope of one of them would find the right answer to that dilemma, afraid to lose Luna's friendship if their assuming was wrong. Finally Hermione gave the most logical answer.
"We have to tell her! She has already seen Draco cheat... Well, anyway, she has the right to know! Just imagine that Draco tries to kill her! We can't take that risk!"
"You're right! Let's find her, and see if she agrees to help us!"
"Ok! I'll take my map, and we'll go looking for her!"
Harry went up the stairs and quickly came back, unfolded the map, and all four looked for Luna.
Hermione spotted her in the library, and they ran off to catch her before she left. But as they were turning the corridor leading to the library, they heard the sound of an argument in a nearby room. And it sounded awfully like the voices of Draco and Luna!
"...don't understand! How could you do that to me! With her nonetheless! You know she hates me! Why Drake? Why?"
"First you stop to call me Drake! My father named me Draco, and that's my name! Second what were you thinking? That I would stay all life long with you loony? Fucking that whore was the only way to make you understand that us, well, it has ended! By the way, she's not the only one! I've fucked half the sixth and seventh years before you even saw it!"
"But why? I...I love you! I don't..."
"Well I don't love you! Never have! Besides you and your little mates are so boring! So kind, so happy! You are sickening me! It's not even fun to fuck you all! So now, if you excuse me, actually even if you don't, I have more interesting things to do, so farewell, Loony, I hope I'll never talk to you again!"
Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron who all had an ear against the door, barely had the time to run and hide before Draco left the room slamming the door. They heard him walking away, then left their hideout to see how was Luna. She was, well, let's just say she was not all right. At all.
She was on her knees on the cold floor, crying her eyes out. She didn't hear her four friends entering the room, but when Ginny knelt by her, she hugged the other girl, quickly soaking the shoulder of her shirt. Ginny held her like that for a while, until Luna's tears calmed down a bit, then she looked into her eyes.
"You want to talk about it?"
"You... you heard everything?"
"Hum... the last part at least! I'm sorry!"
"I..." She started to cry again. "I thought he loved me! And he just had to sleep with that bitch, you know, Miranda, and Merlin only knows how many others! With you I didn't care, but them! How could I be so stupid! All this time he mocked me! And you too!"
And she wasn't able to say something else, crying on Ginny's shoulder again. Her friends glanced at each other, to see which one of them would talk to her about their thought.
Finally Harry knelt by her too, and put an hand on Luna's shoulder.
"Look, Lu, we wanted to talk to you about that, actually. We caught him having sex with Padma, then her and Parvati, then he threatened Hermione, and honestly" He swallowed hard to force the words out "We think that he hasn't been himself for a while."
"What! What do you mean?"
"Well... did you not noticed that he hasn't been acting like he used to? He is distant, almost like he did until our fifth year, and... well I don't know if that's mean anything, but I haven't felt our bond for a while."
"Me neither!" said the other four.
"You see, something is definitely wrong! And we wanted to see you, because we were thinking of forced the truth out of him, if we have to! I know it's a bit rash, but..."
"No, you are right, we must do it. If there's something wrong and he loves me, he will understand, and if he doesn't... well, it won't matter."
"Ok! Do you think you'll be able to walk back to your Common Room?"
She looked up at Harry, and smiled sadly at him.
"You know, just because my heart is hurt, it doesn't mean that I can't walk. I'll be ok."
"You sure?"
"Yes I am. I don't know what will happen, but thank you for giving me some hope."
She stood up, and was about to leave, but Harry hugged her fiercely.
"I wish we'll bring you more than hope Lu!"
"Me too, but you know Harry, you are not responsible for all of us, however much I appreciate your kindness!" She said, hugging him back. The other three joined them, then they all left the room, and they walked with Luna the farthest they could. They said goodbye to each other, and Luna left for her Common Room, Ron and Hermione for Gryffindor Tower, and Harry and Ginny wanted a walk by the castle.
They walked side by side for a while, and Ginny felt Harry getting frustrated. She glance at his eyes, and she saw the sombre look in his eyes. She stood in front of him, and looked deeply in his eyes.
"Look, Harry, Luna is right! You are not responsible for all of us, it's not your fault if things turn bad, and you can't be the only one who always need to make them better! Not alone at least!"
"I know, but you know I can't help to worry! All the people I love always seem to die or almost because of me, I'm tired of things always getting bad around me!"
"It's wrong! Look at me! What was wrong in my life because of you?"
"You mean apart in your first year with the diary?"
"It wasn't your fault, besides you didn't love me then!'
"Maybe not love, but I cared for you, and the goal was to destroy me! Gin! I won't be able to stand it if something happen to you! I love you so much! You are all my future! How could I live without you?"
He hugged her, actually more crushed her into him, as he needed to feel she was there, alive, with him, the promise of a life better than his past. Ginny hugged him too, patting his back, and trying to comfort him, whispering in his ear.
"Harry, I promise you'll never have to live without me! I'll always be by you, besides you are the one who is meant to save all of us! And when that will be done, I'll marry you, and we'll have a dozen of children who'll know that the world is in peace because of their father, Harry! Harry?"
She heard him inhaled deeply in her neck, and , knowing how much he loved her sent, tighten her hold on him. That, and the promise of a family with Ginny, were enough to make Harry instantly go hard. Ginny felt the loved hardness on her lower belly, and she looked up once again at Harry. There, in his eyes, she saw how much he needed her, and that future, and only wanted to give him (and her actually!) a hint of their dreamt life. And to promise it to each other, their more fiercely and more lovingly that they ever had before. Harry crushed Ginny against the wall... who fell down. Surprised, they looked around them, and realised that they were in the Room of Requirement. However, the surprise didn't last long, and harry carried Ginny to a bed conveniently placed near the door, as they were kissing again.
They were in such a urge that they couldn't be bothered with clothes, and Harry just made them disappeared. Then he climbed on top of her, still kissing her. Both knew that it would be rough this night, because all the pain would prove the reality of their body on each other, as well as the assurance that they belonged to each other.
Ginny became tired of being on the bottom, and rolled over on top of Harry. She left his mouth for his neck, where she sucked at the skin so hard that he ended with three love marks there. She then trail a path down his chest, while Harry was clinging at her hair. As she reached his left nipple, she bit it, and Harry arched at the pain, pulling at her hair at the same time. Both whimpered at the pain, but Ginny licked at the abused nipple then blew on it to cool it, and Harry massaged her head. Then he guided her to the other nipple, and she bit once more, but this time the result was different. Harry put his leg around Ginny to show his urge, but she smiled mischievously and put the legs back in place while blowing on the nipple. Then she got off Harry, and he whimpered at the loss of heat. But soon she was again in him, this time just above his erect member. She gently bit the skin there, while scratching his hips and belly. The sensations were almost to much to stand, in particular due to the fact that she was near the place where he wanted her to be, but not on it. Just when he thought he was about to go crazy, she went down on his manhood, sucking him like there would be no tomorrow. He arched his back in response, trying to push him more deep into her. But she steadied him with one hand, while making a slow up and down movement. With a free hand, she took his balls and scratched them gently, not hard enough to hurt him, but just so that he know the power she had upon him. He was now sweating a lot, his mind definitely clouded, and when she had her teeth at her so talented tongue to please him, he couldn't stand it anymore, and sit up.
She looked up at him, surprised, and was about to ask if she had been wrong, but he flipped them over, saying "Mine!" with her deep voice and a hollow look. Then he attacked her with her tongue, making love marks on her neck too. He went down, licking every inch if skin available, and when he reached a breast, he stopped and looked at it like a sailor would at her land after a long travel. He then attacked it, with tongue, teeth and hand, not daring to bite, but applying his teeth hard enough for her to feel it. She was squirming under him, asking for more, but he didn't want to leave her upper body so soon. So, as he launched at the other breast, one of his hand reached down to massage the sensitive flesh between her legs. She cried out in pleasure, and he used that distraction to bite the nipple gently. Her hand pushed on his hand, and he saw that she liked that. So he took the nipple back between his teeth, while running his tongue on the top. Ginny was by then moaning continuously, and begging him to go on. He smirked, and couldn't help but comply, even if he wanted to make her wait a bit. But that girl just drove him crazy, and he left the breast for southern region. He licked the skin just below the breasts, where she was particularly sensitive, then applied kisses on all of the belly, while one of his hand was still stroking her clit, and the other scratching her hips and thigh. When his tongue reached her bellybutton, he took great care in plunging inside, then kissing all around, thinking 'children!' with a smile, then went down on pleasuring their future mother.
He was just above the tuft of red hair when he removed his hand. Ginny whimpered in loss, but the kisses he put on that tuft shut her up. He used both his hands to stoke the outer thighs, while he was kissing the inner, one thigh after the other. Then a smell from even reached his nostrils, as the juices of Ginny were calling him. He reached her hole and plunged his tongue inside, revealing in the wonderful taste, then slowly went up to reach the clitoris. He licked it once, then bit it, earning a screamed "oh Merlin!" from Ginny. He went on pleasuring her, a "oh yes!", "please", "and "again" making him go crazy. As she was about to come, he stopped. She started to protest, but he quickly shut her up by covering her mouth with his, then letting her taste herself on his tongue. He looked at her, and said "I want to look in your eyes when you come this time! I want to see love in it, and I want you to see my love for you!"
"I want to, Harry!"
So she steadied herself, her legs around his hips, and he pushed in her in one go. It probably twinged a bit, but she only felt relief as they became one once again. He tried to go slowly at first, but his own need and Ginny's screams of encouragement were enough to convince him that the time was not at duration. Both felt their orgasm quickly growing, and Harry moves became completely hectic, and soon they were coming, both at the same time, and never leaving each other's gaze. Then Harry fell upon Ginny, as they were trying to catch their breath. He staid in her for a while, then get out, and put the blanket upon them. Then he took her in his arms, and just before they fell asleep, he whispered.
"I love you, Ginny Weasley, and I'll marry you!"
"And I love you too, Harry Potter, and I'll give you a dozen of children!"
And the hope carried in those promises, as well as their bond, was enough to tell Luna that there was still love in the world, and Draco that all hopes were not lost.
