Chapter Ten:
Having his hands on the lovely Chaser, brought a smile to Harry's face. Harry's hands ran down every inch of Katie's body. He slowly grounded against Katie and made her moan. The feeling of Harry's prominent cock pushed up against Katie's backside, even when clothed, caused her to quiver.
"Harry, don't tease, please," Katie begged.
"Why?" Harry asked. "I'm having fun."
"Oh, you deserve to…but it will be even more fun when you stop the teasing," Katie said. "Now get my panties off and your cock out. I swear if my skirt is any shorter, it would be a belt. Isn't that enough of an engraved invitation for you? I need you now."
Harry reached underneath Katie's skirt and slapped her thong clad ass. Her cheeks jiggled. The brunette's gaze came towards him.
"I think we should take this to some place a bit more private, so we don't disrupt people's games," Harry said.
There had been a slight cry of disappointment from the onlookers. Harry slapped Katie on the ass and made her moan. Katie walked forward, being guided by Harry's helping hand as she moved forward. Astra, Spooner, and Nora followed behind them. Astra turned towards disappointed crowd and gave them a sarcastic little wave.
"Sorry, VIPs only," Astra said. "Shayera?"
"I'll make sure they don't follow," Shayera said.
The fact the bouncer happened to have a large honking metal mace in her hand ensured people would be not disappointed any time soon.
"Let's go so we don't miss the action," Spooner said.
In the more private area, Harry hiked up Katie's skirt, pulled off her panties, and started to finger her. Katie's nipples stuck out from the pleasure. Harry performed a few strokes with his fingers and edged Katie to the edge.
"We've been waiting for you…to mature up for a long time," Katie gasped in between orgasms. "Angelina, Alicia, and…oooh God Harry, me too, especially me. I've been waiting for this for a long fucking time, just thinking about a wizard of your power when he matured. You slayed a bloody Basilisk when you were twelve years old for Morgana's sake."
"Interesting."
Katie tightened around Harry's fingers when he slid inside of her body.
"Oooh, we were so disappointed that you were a late bloomer, like that, right here!" Katie screamed out. "But, bugger me, if you haven't made up for lost time. So very much. It's a shame that Angelina and Alicia are going to be away for the next few weeks."
"Oh?" Harry asked.
"At Harpies Camp!" Katie yelled. "Such a pity…but they were invited personally by Gwenog Jones, and you don't turn something like that down. It's for seventeen and over only."
"Likely because it's a month of Quidditch and debauchery," Harry said. "Or so I've heard."
"Well, you've heard from Fred and George, so consider the source!" Katie moaned when Harry pumped her vigorously. "Although, yeah, it's likely it's a glorified orgy with some Quidditch involved. Fucking hell Harry!"
Harry's cock finally sprang out of hiding and Katie dropped to her knees to bask in its glory. And it was quite glorious. Katie leaned in and greeted Harry's manhood with a long kiss. Oh, fuck, it tasted so good. Katie leaned in.
"Take your time, luv," Harry said. "We've got plenty of time."
And Katie wanted to spend all the time she could with this glorious phallus. She licked it, sucked it, and kissed it. Wanton obsession just blasted through her eyes. She leaned in and took Harry's cock into her mouth, thanking Angelina and Alicia for all the practice they got in with the toys.
Although no toy, not even from the seediest shop in the darkest corner of Knockturn Alley, could prepare Katie for this. Katie gobbled up Harry's throbbing cock and reached over to grab his balls. They held quite a load for them.
Katie hummed around his cock. Harry wondered what this would be like, to have at least one of the sexy Chasers on their knees before Harry. Harry reached back and rammed down into her throat. His balls churned.
"Get ready, Katie."
Katie slurped Harry's manhood and milked his balls. Harry made her jaw a bit sore, but it was more than worth it. To get the first blast of Harry's cum down her throat. Why Harry's cum tasted like a chocolate ecclair, Katie would never be able to coherently ask right now. Given that it was her favorite dessert, Katie used her lips to milk Harry until she finished him off.
"Oooh, I swear I can switch to an all cum diet," Katie said. "Especially if your cum tastes like that."
With a sloppy lick, Katie licked every last drop of cum from Harry's dripping phallus. Harry helped Katie to her feet, and removed her top, to reveal her C-Cup tits. Angelina's was the largest, and Alicia sported the smallest chest of the three, although she more than made up with it, with her arse and legs. Harry groped Katie's chest and kissed her neck while sliding his hardening cok between her thighs.
"Were you three wicked girls plotting to deflower your poor innocent Seeker?" Harry teased Katie.
"Angelina had this grand plan to drag you into the showers at the first possible opportunity and teach you everything debauched that we know," Katie admitted as Harry ground up against her pussy. "However, that plan did not go according to plan."
Katie managed to pry herself away from Harry and lay back on the couch, legs spread. And she spread wide, showing just how flexible she was. Harry looked down at her beautiful pussy and had to sample it. He leaned in and drove his tongue down into her.
Harry's vibrating tongue sent a jolt of pleasure through Katie's fine body. Each tongue slipped into her and made her cry out in pleasure. Harry ate her to an orgasm.
"And I thought Alicia and Angie had wicked tongues," Katie said breathlessly. "Harry, my pussy is aching for you. I need you. Now!"
"Well, since you asked so nicely."
Harry lowered his manhood into Katie's hot, wet pussy. Katie stretched for him, her tightness gobbling up his length when he pushed inside of her. The warm smoldering pussy of Katie Bell swallowed as much of his cock as humanly possible.
"Tell me when," Harry said.
"This is good," Katie said. "Just…ease me into it! Like that! Like that!"
Harry savored out how tight Katie was. And how she stretched for him. Harry's manhood slipped deep into Katie's warm and hungry pussy. She wrapped around him so tightly. Harry brought his manhood down inside of her and made her cum hard for him. Harry leaned in and worked his magic all over Katie's flexible body.
With another glorious push, Harry edged into her. Katie showed Harry how flexible she was, by locking her ankles around the back of her head. Harry slipped deep inside of her and plunged down inside of her. Harry touched her nipples and she moaned.
"Again," Katie yelled. "Again!"
Harry slammed deep inside of her and stretched Katie's wet pussy rapidly until he rode her to a hot finish. She came all over him. Harry slipped his tongue against her nipple and vibrated very lightly against it, making her just ooze for him. Harry hissed and sucked her nipples.
Katie decided to wrap her legs around Harry, and push him down inside of her.
"I now understand why wizards see Parselmouths as evil," Katie said. "They don't like the competition."
Harry vibrated his tongue against Katie and made her moan. Her pussy tightened around him and got used to more of his cock. Harry leaned deep inside of her, and shoved deep inside of her. Harry sucked her nipples and made Katie cream herself for him.
Katie Bell had been taken through a long ride. Harry was different from the one she saw not even a month ago. She would have liked to ask him how he was doing after the events of the third task, but Katie did not want to ruin the mood. And ruin the vibe of her orgasms.
Harry enjoyed the feeling of Katie's tight, hungry pussy.
"We should do this more often," Katie said. "More often. YES! Finish with me this time!"
Harry edged inside of her and made her climax hard. Oh, Harry was not going to finish just yet. Harry ran a hand down Katie's leg and made her cry. No matter how tight she got, Harry stayed the line.
"Oooh, Morgana, I see a lot of shower celebrates in your future!" Katie moaned. "Oooh, fuck…it's so fucking good! You're filling me up so much. I think I'm going to explode."
Harry rode Katie and gave her the motherload of orgasms.
"Good girl," Harry said as Katie tightened around him. "You've earned this one, haven't you?"
"YES!"
One more bottoming thrust brought Harry inside of her. Katie doubted she could stand steadily after this, but it was worth it. The first burst of seed fired inside of her, with Katie tightening around him and milking him.
Harry bursted inside of Katie and kept firing inside of her. His seed spilled into Katie and she milked him. And he kept riding her, until Katie finished him, hungering for his cock as she drained his cock inside of her. Her tight pussy gripped him down to the very last drop.
The moment Katie finished, Harry pulled her into a kiss, which the Chaser returned eagerly. This had been like a dream come true.
"Write down your address," Katie said. "So, I can swing by for a booty call, sometime."
Harry grinned and did as Katie asked.
"Really hope you return sometime soon," Katie said. "I'm at this club a few times a week. So, hopefully we run into each other. Or, I'll swing by when I feel the urge to get my pussy destroyed again."
Katie straddled Harry and rubbed herself up against him. Harry toyed with her nipples.
"One more for the road?" Katie asked. "Please."
"You won't be walking out of this club if we do this," Harry warned her.
"I don't care," Katie said. "Just fuck me."
And Harry teased Katie for a long minute before obliging her for another round.
After Harry finished fucking Katie senseless and got dressed, he stepped back out of the back room, and only got about two feet out of the door, before a pair of hands grabbed him.
Spooner aggressively pounced Harry and shoved her tongue down his throat, kissing him like a thirsty woman. Her warm moist lips were soft, and felt like they had been kissed. Harry's hands moved down to toy with her body.
"Nice to see you too, Esperanza," Harry said.
"I swear I'm normally not like this," Spooner said. "Intimacy is a new thing for me. In fact, I'm scared about it, but excited about it as well. I guess when you lived the life I lived for so long, thinking that your mother was abducted by aliens, and living out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, wearing tinfoil and listening to Art Bell reruns, that can mess you up. In fact, my younger self…well we can deal with her later, can't we?"
The hands of Spooner moved and tentatively experimented with stroking his cock through his pants.
"I never had the urge to do something like this," she continued. "But, your cum smells so good, something about it just makes a gal's brain go haywire. Makes her feel new things about herself. And it's so good,
Spooner pulled off Harry's pants which made Harry briefly wonder why he bothered with clothes. The lovely Latina let in a deep breath, when she danced her hands down Harry's cock.
"That's a beautiful cock," she said excitedly. "I guess, the right person never came along, to give me that kick in the ass that I needed. Never really felt this spark before. Granted, I knew people were attractive. Astra's hot, and Sara…it's not hard to notice she has a forceful presence which you have to like, and Zari is a bombshell and…well, I've said too much, haven't I?"
"No, keep going," Harry said.
"Guess I've just been focused on trying to figure shit out, and now that I have, I can move forward," Spooner said. "You've broken a barrier in my mind. I guess before I didn't have the right motivation. And I should just stop babbling and start enjoying this big, beautiful cock."
The beautiful hand of Esperanza Cruz moved up and down Harry's hard cock. She eagerly jerked him off.
"And I guess with the right stimuli, we can learn something new about ourselves. Can't we?"
From the side, Harry saw Astra and Nora watching and grinning when Spooner surveyed every inch of his cock. Astra locked eyes on Harry's and made the throat-fuccking motion with her hand.
Harry understood and drove Esperanza to her knees, and opened her mouth to shove his cock into her surprised, but not unwilling mouth. Oh, damn she had a mouth made for cock-sucking. Harry grabbed ahold of the back of Spooner's head and fucked her beautiful face.
"Well, you're a good little cock-sucker, aren't you, Esperanza?"
Harry shoved his cock down her throat. Every time Harry used Spooner's given name, she just shuddered and shived.
A naked Nora and Astra moved over to either side of Harry and stroked his body and kissed him. Nora leaned in.
"I thought she would be tougher," Nora said.
"Oooh, I don't think she's so tough with that cock in her mouth," Harry groaned. "Aren't you, Esperanza?"
Harry pushed his fingers into Astra. His godsister moaned when Harry pushed his fingers deep into her wet slit and pumped into her.
"Fuck, I've fingered myself raw thinking about this moment," Astra said. "I knew you couldn't resist him. That cock is just too irresisble. And the fact he's getting even more powerful. Are you enjoying yourself?"
Spooner made a glorious racket on his cock when going down onto him.
"Remember to breathe through your nose," Astra advised her. "Because, you could choke on his cock. What a way to go, mmmm!"
Sounds of agreement came to Spooner. Nora reached in and cupped his balls.
"Oooh, these loads are getting bigger, the more tantric energy he absorbs," Nora said. "Useful for when he visits France."
"Yes, got to train for that," Harry agreed.
Harry bottomed deep inside of her throat and made Spooner swallow him. Nora helpfully milked his balls before Harry shot down the waiting through of Esperanza Cruz. She swallowed blast after blast of his cum as it fired down her throat.
She let go and Harry unleashed a one man bukkake all over Spooner's face. The horny Latina woman let out another moan as Harry splattered her all over.
"Let me help you."
Astra and Esperanza exchanged a long kiss, swapping Harry's cum. This looked like something both anticipated for a very long time. Harry's cock throbbed at the erotic sight of Astra dragging her tongue down Spooner's face.
"Here, sweetie."
Nora dropped to her knees and wrapped her tits around Harry's cock.
"Not like Lavender, but they'll do, right?" Nora asked.
"Yeah, they're do quite nicely," Harry said.
Nora supposed it would be unfair to compare herself to a gifted woman like Lavender Brown. And her tits were more than able to work their magic over Harry's cock. They pulsed with magic when working him over.
Harry leaned deep inside of Nora's chest and enjoyed the tit-fuck while Astra and Spooner made out with each other, and shared Harry's seed between the two of them. Harry groaned a little bit more and worked his cock between them.
"Let it go," Nora said. "Just let it all out. Let me make all of your wishes come true."
Harry leaned in and finished spilling every last inch of cum spilled onto Nora. More cum than Harry ever thought he would produce even less than a week ago splattered onto Nora. She took a huge dose of cum all over her tits and made her cry out in pleasure when Harry finished emptying his nut all over her body.
"After you, my dear Spooner."
Then Spooner and Astra jumped onto Nora and dove onto her like two hungry animals. They sucked Harry's essence off of her tits and made her cry with pleasure. Harry moved his fingers between Astra and Spooner and fondled their sexy, fuckable bodies. One gorgeous black woman and one luscius Latina sucked Harry's thick seed off of Nora's tits.
"It's time," Astra said. "Time to watch you take Spooner's cherry."
Harry pulled Spooner in and spread her legs before licking her wet pussy to drive her completely wild. Spooner let out another cry as Harry ate her out. She let out a cry.
"Jesus," she moaned loudly.
"Show her that she lives for your cock now," Astra encouraged Harry.
Harry got on top of Spooner and kissed her. The two exchanged a hot level of kisses and caresses. Harry's throbbing erection pressed against Spooner's hot and hungry moaning. Harry ran his hand down her leg and kissed down onto it.
"Show me what I've been missing," she begged him. "Show me everything."
"Oooh, Esperanza, you're so fucking tight."
Harry submerged and claimed her body for his own. Harry felt up her lovely legs and stroked the bottom of her feet. Harry leaned deep inside of Spooner and pushed into her. Her tight pussy clamped down onto him. Harry leaned deep inside of her with each thrust filling her up. Esperanza released and gripped him hard, slipping his hard cock inside of her tight body.
'Ooooh, sweet Jesus, you're so fucking big!" Spooner yelled. "And I swear, you're making me lose my fucking mind. Ooh, pound me into jelly!"
Astra rose up and sat on her friend's face. The content moan from Spooner indicated this was all she ever wanted. Harry leaned in and toyed with Astra a little bit. He sent a jolt of magic through her pussy and made her ooze from him.
The sexy body of the woman beneath Harry just came hard. Esperanza's tight pussy clamped down onto him. No longer a virgin, she had been claimed totally by Harry. Harry pushed deeper and rocked her body, making her moan even more loudly than ever.
"Oooh, that's it."
Nora shoved a dildo which resembled Harry's cock into her pussy. It allowed her to feel the same strokes Harry did.
"I swear we should sell those," Astra cried. "Then again, I'm sure other men will have enough reasons to try and kill you. And as amusing their failures might be, hiding the bodies can be a bother."
"Are you speaking from experience?" Harry grunted when Spooner tightened around him.
Astra just flashed a smile and threw her head back. Esperanza's tongue roamed her insides. The orgasms of all three women filled the room, with Harry plunging deep inside of her. Harry slipped deep inside of her and made her cry out in pleasure when he pumped inside of her. Harry leaned down and rode Esperanza to a finish.
The barest hints of Spooner and Astra sixty-nining each other followed. Harry removed the dildo from Nora.
"But nothing beats the real thing."
"YES!"
Harry drove himself deeper inside of Nora. The tightness of his Fairy Godmother wrapped around him.
"Oooh, Harry, you're making Mommy feel so good," Nora breathed. "Although we should punish your sisters for being so naughty."
Harry leaned deep inside of her.
"I'm more of the cool cousin type actually," Spooner said after detaching herself from Astra's body.
Right before Astra forced Spooner back between her legs and the two continued to eat each other. The two edged each other while Harry pushed into Nora. Nora slipped the dildo into her ass.
"Think Sara's teaching you anal for your birthday," Nora said. "Sorry for spoiling the surprise."
"Don't worry, I'll act surprised," Harry said.
The thought of tapping Sara's ass made Harry throb and push into Nora. Nora's tightening pussy worked its magic around Harry's cock Harry plunged deeper inside of Nora and rode her. Nora demanded a dose of his cum and it had been too long, so Harry obliged. Harry leaned down and rode her until his seed splattered inside of her.
Nora milked Harry's cock and gripped his hard cock, slamming deep inside of her. She milked every last drop out of Harry.
The second Harry pulled out, Astra and Spooner dove towards him and kissed him. The two licked Harry's neck and took turns kissing him. Harry could feel their lovely bodies. Their beautiful skin glistened with pleasure.
Astra and Spooner slid their pussies on either side of Harry's cock and scissored them. Harry edged down their bodies. Spooner reacted quite vigorously to Harry twisting her nipple. And then Harry turned around and sucked Astra's beautiful brown nipples. Astra slid her hand down onto the back of his head and kept sucking it hard. Astra moaned deeply and gushed hard for him. Harry induced orgasms.
"Time to fuck her again," Astra said. "Show no mercy on this Slutina."
Any protest had been lost by Harry shoving Esperanza down and mounting her like an animal. Harry pushed down into her body and piledrove his cock into Spooner's tight pussy. Spooner tightened around his big cock and slipped his hard cock inside of her. Harry leaned deep inside of her and fucked her balls deep.
Nora and Astra came in and Harry finger-banged the hell out of them. Harry's fingers slipped down into them. Three women cumming at once.
"I'm such a slut for your cock," Spooner moaned. "How could I go from zero to six hundred like that?"
"Repess, Repress," Astra sang when Harry fingered her. "There's no need to…repress!"
Harry finished fingering Astra and Nora and made them spurt with pleasure. Harry pulled out and fed Spooner their juices. And drilled her even harder. Harry was all over her and folded up Spooner like an accordion when slamming into her. Harry slapped his balls against her and left marks on her thighs.
Astra ground up against Harry.
"Oooh, mark her for yours," Astra said. "Your sister would like you to cum inside of her best friend and make her your latest cum dump. Go ahead, Harry. Spoil her. She waited for the best, so fuck all of the rest."
Astra pushed Harry a little bit deeper into Spooner. Damn, she would be sore in the morning.
"Empty those big balls into her, honey," Astra said while grinding herself onto him. "Every last drop of cum inside of her, please. Make her look like she's about ready to pop!"
Harry bottomed out into Spooner at Astra's encouragement. She worked that magic to coax his cum out and into her. Harry Potter nutted deeper inside Esperanza Cruz. The tightness of her pussy worked around him as Harry finished dumping inside of her.
Astra did not hold up on milking Harry's thick balls until he painted Spooner completely white. Her tight hungry body took everything Harry had to offer.
"Mmm!"
Astra lowered her mouth down onto Harry's cock and sucked the sweet combination of juices off of him.
Spooner had that fucked brain-dead look on her face. But, she would be fine, in a minute. And someone was here to pick up her slack.
A naked Charlie slipped into the club. The fate leaned in and kissed Harry senseless.
"Well, you finally woke up," Astra said.
"Of course," Charlie said. "What kind of owner would I be if I didn't check up on my VIP guests? Oh, Spooner? Ace my arse."
Charlie turned to Harry while casually giving him a handjob. This was not officially part of a VIP package, far from it.
"Really wish you could ace my arse," Charlie said with a saucy smile and wink. "But unfortunately, Sara will kill me in my sleep about eight different ways if I take that from her. Don't worry, there's other things to do.
Nora, Charlie, and Astra took turns sucking Harry's cock while Spooner recovered, still giving the indicates she was alive by her shallow breaths.
Charlie moved back and spread her legs.
"Well, give me some of what these girls got," Charlie said while spreading her legs. "Come here, and shag me, luv."
Harry returned to plunging into Charlie. The wet pussy of the Fate took Harry inside of her. Oh,yes the gift that would keep on giving.
Charlie closed her eyes. Things would turn out for the better this time. And how. Charlie focused on the present and not what glimpses she could see of the future upon the Dragon's glorious ascension. Harry filled her up far and hard.
Harry slipped out of the back room, with his arm wrapped around Charlie and his hand firmly on her ass. Charlie leaned her head against Harry's shoulder with a small smile. From the back, Astra and Nora helped a limping Spooner out.
"I'll be fine," Spooner said. "Overindulged by a bit."
"Well, you'll be coming home with us tonight," Astra said.
"Oh yes," Astra agreed.
"And I'm telling you, Moon, there's no way that can be Potter. There's no way Granger would ever let him come to a club like this, never mind Dumbledore."
Harry's attention turned to a very familiar face, who was heading out, with a group of girls. There was no mistaking that haughty, bitchy look on her face.
"Who is the Wish Regina George?" Spooner asked.
"Pansy Parkinson," Harry summarized. "She's a Slytherin in my year."
"Oh, she's attractive, but she's got a case of the entitled bitch," Charlie said.
"That can be fucked out of her, though," Astra murmured.
"And the others?" Nora asked.
"Lily Moon, Autumn Runcorn, Carmen Zabini, Flora Carrow, Hestia Carrow, and Jenna Nott," Harry said. "The Carrows, Zabini, and Nott are a year beneath me, Runcorn and Moon are in my year."
All of them were hot, although forbidden fruit. All had connections to Death Eaters, Death Eater sympathsizers, or in Zabini's case, a woman who had seven dead ex-husbands. All dead under mysterious circumstances.
Although, Lady Zabini was the ultimate forbidden fruit, if the Hogwarts rumor mill was anything to go by.
"All Slytherin?" Astra asked.
"All Slytherin," Harry said.
"Not that's a bad thing," Astra said. "Mum was one."
"I know," Harry said. "And your mother was amazing. Things would have been a lot better if she lived."
Astra took Harry's arm into hers and leaned up against her. They watched Pansy and her posse leave.
"Harry, take a look at her?'
Charlie pointed out a stunning brunette woman, dressed in a very nice black dress which fit to her buxom body. Her lips curled into a look of being frustrated.
And something about her was familiar, although Harry was at a loss to figure out what.
"She's beautiful," Harry said.
"Yes, and you should buy her a drink," Charlie said. "Trust me on this one, luv."
Something familiar about her, but Harry shook up the thought. Astra locked her eyes onto Charlie as he walked out of earshot. Astra realized who she was.
"You love chaos, don't you?" Astra asked in undertone.
"Oh, that's the pot calling the kettle black," Charlie said with a slight nudge.
Harry slipped next to the woman.
"Is this seat taken?" Harry asked.
"No," she said. "Not tonight."
Harry sensed the frustration coming out of her tone. The sound of someone who had a rough time recently. Oh, Harry had been there.
"How are you?" Harry asked.
"Oooh, I've had better days," she groaned.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"You wouldn't…you wouldn't understand," she said.
"Try me," Harry said. "Even if I don't, it might feel good to just get it all out. And it's not like I'll judge you for it."
"Okay, fine, I'll try you," she said. "Let's start with my deadbeat husband and his stupid investments. I spent the past fifteen years building up our practice from the ground up, and he almost destroys it with one stupid investment. I swear, I'm going to spend the next fifteen fucking years trying to atone for his stupid mistakes! And then, don't get me started on our daughter."
Harry bought them both a drink. She took it and downed it, with Harry sipping on his.
"My daughter went off, again, this summer, with her friends," she ranted. "Just left, when I was at work one day. I told my husband, I told my daughter, she's not allowed to go off this summer. She's away at school most of the year, even staying for Christmas, and we barely see her during the Summer holidays. Even when we took a vacation to France, we barely saw her."
Huh, that was interesting. Harry just let her go off. It obviously made her feel better.
"I just feel like we've grown apart," the woman said. "I don't know why, I've been supportive of her. More than her father. Definitely more than my in-laws. Her grandparents. She'll work herself into a fit trying to please them. I wanted her not to leave, I wanted to spend some time with her. I had a trip planned, just the two of us. Although, I fully expect to come back to see our practice to be in flames, and it's somehow my bloody fault despite all of the time I put into it. But, don't even get a chance. My husband tells me they picked up my daughter and he just stood there with a thumb up his arse, and let it bloody happen!"
She spoke without taking a breath. Harry sipped his drink.
"But, these people show up and say that Hermione is to go with them."
Harry almost choked on his drink. Surely it has to be a coincidence?
"And David complied, because our daughter insisted she should go, and he doesn't have any agency for himself," she ranted. "Our entire marriage is a sham. It's in shambles. And the only reason why I haven't dropped him is because of our daughter. Our daughter, I haven't seen in the past two years. Barley."
Harry did not like where this conversation was going, at all.
"Sorry, thanks for letting me vent," she said. "My regular drinking partner isn't here tonight, because she has to pick up the slack for her idiot husband. Because his boss is demanding more of his time."
The woman took a long drink for a second.
"Where did I go wrong?" she asked.
"It's nothing you've done," Harry assured her.
"Thank you," she agreed. "But, my daughter, she doesn't respect me at all. And my in-laws are even worse. Oh, Michael and Joyce, paragons of virtue. Talking about all of the things their grandchildren have done, while Hermione stews in her insecurities, and treating me like the harpy that stole their dear son away from him. Hermione's wound tight because of them. She wants to please Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone in that family is a kiss-arse to Granny Granger. David has no spine. About the only ones in that family I can stand is Holly and Dawn, because they had the sense to tell Joyce to fuck off. They're the black sheep."
This woman looked like she had been wanting to get this off of her chest for a long time. And Harry figured this was not a coincidence.
Oh, he had no idea. At all. Was he just so blinded that he missed these signs? Or was Hermione's mask to hide herself that good.
"Sorry, again," she said. "I'm just dumping all of my problems on a random stranger. And I haven't even…what's your name anyway?"
"Harry. Harry Potter."
Hermione's mother almost spilled her drink in surprise. Harry caught it before she made a mess.
"Oh my God," she said. "I'm sorry that you had to hear about me vent about my daughter, your friend, like that."
"It's fine," Harry said. "You didn't know."
"Obviously not, you've changed since the last time I've seen you," she said. "You've really grown up."
"And I didn't really recognize you," Harry said. "You were dressed well…."
"More conservatively is the best word to describe that," Hermione's mother said. "So, did my daughter ever say anything to you?"
"Hermione really hasn't talked about what's been going on at home," Harry said. "About the only thing I know about you and your husband is that you're dentists."
"Well, I have a doctorate in Dentistry, although I haven't done any dental work in years," Hermione's mother said. "And David hasn't either."
Harry could tell Hermione's mother had been biting back a biting comment abou ther husband.
"I didn't even know Hermione's father was named David," Harry said. "And I don't know your name."
"Charlotte," she said.
"Charlotte," Harry said. "Sorry, Hermione never talked about you too much."
"I can tell," Charlotte said coolly. "And to be honest, all I know about you and about the other boy, Ron, is you are friends with my daughter. My daughter's not a people person. She ends up doing the things she thinks will impress her grandparents, and it ends up driving people away from her."
"I see," Harry said with a sip of his drink.
"Hermione tells me very little," Charlotte said.
Oh, Harry frowned. He was not liking where this conversation was going.
"The longer she's away, the more I feel like she's disconnected from me," Charlotte said. "I want to learn more about her, but she acts like it's a burden to tell me anything. I love my daughter, but it feels like we're from from two different words sometimes."
"Mmm, hmm," Harry murmured.
"Can you tell me what she's been doing at Hogwarts?" Charlotte asked. "I just want to know what going to a magical school is like."
Oh bloody hell, that was going to be a tricky one to explain, if Charlotte did not know anythin about Hermione's time at Hogwarts. And Harry mentally cured Hermione for keeping her mother in the dark. Oh, they were going to have to be having a talk about this when they met up again.
"I don't know if I should," Harry said.
"Well, can you tell me how you three became friends?" Charlotte asked. "I just want to understand my daughter a bit better. And you must have done something special if you actually became friends with her…that sounds bad, doesn't it?"
