NC-17 A First Time...Gauntlets and Ultimatums

Harry and Ginny returned to the suite at the estate they shared. After a shared shower they walked to the large bed completely naked.

Harry enjoyed watching her walk. He loved the way her backside moved as she raised one knee and bent over the edge of the bed. Harry grabbed her hips and pulled her against his hardness. She grinned at the feel of him.

"Ginny, do you trust me?"

"Of course I do..."

"Will you experiment with me?" He ground his cock against the cleft of her ass.

Her voice throaty as she said yes. The sound reverberated through the very pores of his skin. "What do you want to do with me Harry?"

He did not answer, instead, leaving her with one leg straight and one bent and on the side of the bed, he knelt behind her. With a single swipe of his tongue, he licked the one place that he had never touched. She shivered at the memory of her conversation with Hermione and her brother's preference.

She felt his hands pull her apart as his the tip of his tongue touched the puckered entrance so clean from the shower. Without thought she ground against him.

He slipped the tip of his tongue inside of her. Loving the way her body responded to his touch. He licked the area, gently biting the perfect globes before slipping a single finger inside of her. Her breath catching as the first invasion.

Harry muttered the cleaning charm and she moaned.

Harry said the lubrication charm as he added a second finger, she groaned and bucked against the sensation.

Harry muttered the relaxation charm as he added a third finger. Her hips moved involuntarily to bring his fingers in deeper.

Harry added the fourth finger. Her hips moved in exaggerated circles as she humped his fingers.

Harry spread his long fingers inside of her to spread her opening, readying it for his now dripping cock. He kissed and licked the alabaster orbs before him. "Please Harry... I want you..."

Harry held his breath as he pulled his lubrication covered fingers from her. wrapping his hand around his shaft, he muttered another lubrication charm and stroked his hardness. With the lowest voice he could find, he told her to hold herself open for him.

Ginny reached back and spread herself for him. He watched as the small fingers pulled apart the ass of the woman he loved. For a split second, he thought of the other red-head he loved. Dismissing the thought just as quick, he put the head of his cock to her opening.

With a gentle push, he slipped the head of his thick cock inside of her. She could not breath as the pain exploded around her. He did not move at first, just gave gentle touches and loving caresses to he low back. He waited until she began to move again.

When the pain passed, he simply moved in circles to stretch the muscles a bit. She pushed against him to make him enter her more. He watched as the thick purple veined shaft disappeared into the love of his life. The tight ring of muscles squeezing him in ways he had only dreamt of.

As he watched her hips buck against him, he heard her hiss. "Gin? Are you okay?"

"Merlin Harry, this feels incredible. Just give me a minute?" He silently nodded and resisted the urge to fuck her like he did Ron and like Ron did him as often as they could.

"Please Gin, I need to move..." His cock was throbbing and his balls were already tight as she squeezed her muscles around him.

She pulled the second leg up on the bed and put her head down, arching her back, clearly in charge of the moment. He stayed as still as he could, while watching the shaft inch out of her tightness. When she pushed back and took him all the way in, he gasped.

She moved her body forward pulling away from his cock until only the head was inside of her, counted to five, and pushed back, HARD, until he was balls deep inside of her. She heard him groan as he grabbed her hips.

"I want this hard Harry. Hard and fast... but I want to cum before you do..." She pulled away from him again, loving the sensation of the power, knowing that she would soon not have it when he lost control.

He leaned over her, his finger finding her clit and rubbing it in small circles. She swatted his hand away. He raised back up, leaving a trail of sweat down her back from his chest, and grabbed her hips.

He slammed into her over and over. Loving how she could take his thick cock up her ass and still make those amazing noises. He knew she was close by the sounds as he fucked her in long hard fast strokes. He could see the muscles in her back tense as he pounded her. His words of appreciation were lost in the grunts and moans of the feelings.

She left her clit alone when she felt the edge of her orgasm approach and reached through her legs to cup his tight ball sack. He groaned his appreciation and kept the thrusts going as long as possible.

When the explosion rocked her body, her back arched, her hand fell away from his balls, her muscles clamped, she screamed his name and felt him cum at the same time.

She feel forward, limply, as he followed her, still gently stroking his release inside of her. When he pulled her, so they could lay on their side, he stayed inside of her.

She felt his ragged breathing matching her own. It took a few minutes before either could talk. It was Harry that spoke first, "That was the single most incredible thing we have ever done."

She nodded mutely as her eyes closed. It had been a long day. The last thing she heard was "I love you..." from him as sleep claimed him too.

The next morning, Ginny would not let him heal her. Preferring to feel the sore passage that day instead. He did not admit that he understood perfectly and instead enjoyed the knowledge that she would be wearing a skirt without panties the entire day.

At the delayed regular breakfast of the Riddle House founders, they walked in to the room and sat at their usual seats. Ginny and Harry smirked at one another as she sat a bit slower than usual.

Eight faces looked up when Sirius came in; congratulating them all once again regarding the Centaur rescue. They still hadn't seen Rowan since the Halloween ball. When Sirius noticed Madison glaring at him, he took a deep breath, and asked her what her problem was. Remus was trying to act as though nothing was going on, and failing miserably.

"Where is mom? She and I have to have a discussion; she needs to answer for what she did."

"I didn't want her here for this. Besides, I assumed you had already finished any discussions you needed to have with her." He cut back at her.

"No one has seen her since you left."

"It's been over for several months now, when are you going to get over all of this?"

"I have no plans to get over anything."

"Why is that?"

"Because…" she stopped talking when he interrupted her, or maybe she interrupted him, no one was sure.

"Because, as far as your parentage, you are fortunate that Remus is your biological father. He is much more stable than your mother or I have ever been."

"That doesn't matter. Put the fact she betrayed you twenty years ago aside for a moment, what about what she did while you were in the veil? Doesn't that matter to you at all?" she was standing, her voice was raised.

"The result of that betrayal created all of your powers. The act or my reactions to the way you embarrassed her or how I handled it has nothing to do with you Madison. But if you are so determined to understand, let me try to explain it to you; Princess Madison."

He paused to let the name dig a bit, "Not that it is actually any of your business, but no matter what else was going on, she needed to feel something except pain; she didn't ignore her duties to you or them. She fought an internal meltdown that would have destroyed any other person. You didn't realize it, neither did the others apparently; Snape and Remus, much to my irritation, did. They saw in her what you lot missed or simply chose not to see. Hell, it's not as though she could talk to you about it. She had no choices. It was them or lose her mind, which meant she would lose you too, and if she lost you, she lost the battle."

"Your point would be?" Madison asked with sarcasm.

"My point is, you spoiled, judgmental brat, that if she lost the battle, she lost the chance to rescue me." He paused to make sure they all understood. Then turned back to Madison, "I took a lot of time to get it straight in my head; the thing you need to know is that everything she taught you, covenant she invoked, book she researched, and law she memorized was to elevate you to the next level. You had to be named Sorcerers and Sorceresses."

He paused to let the words sink in. "If you didn't… you could not save me. Even after all her fears and hurt, the main goal was to get you elevated. That's the only way the veil would respond to your command." He looked around the room to the shocked looks on their faces. Rolling his eyes, he realized that no one bothered to have figured it out, not even Hermione.

Harry glared at his Godfather again. "So that's it. You're here to defend Rowan's actions? That's like trying to defend Dumbledore not telling me the prophesy until AFTER the fight at the ministry. I won't listen to anymore defense of her. She should not have taken you. She should not have betrayed you and you should not be so forgiving." He was standing, his arms crossed on his chest. He was not breathing hard. He was convinced of the accuracy of his words. He said nothing else.

"It has NOTHING to do with you, any of you. Honestly, it's between her and me. If I can forgive her, if Remus can, who are you to not forgive her?" He looked to Remus, hoping he was right. Remus nodded at his old friend to show support for his words. "Then if that is the way you truly feel, you are going to force me to choose between you and her. Is that it?"

Harry nodded. He looked to his daughter and son. Mason's face was a classic poker face, unreadable. Madison's, however, showed perfect clarity, she agreed with Harry. "Then I choose her." His words were final. He stood, kissed Madison on the cheek, touched his son's shoulder and left the room. He stopped just outside the door, it was barely opened, but he wanted to hear the conversation. Remus fought the urge to follow him and check on Rowan.

Harry was devastated. The ultimatum was not supposed to have gone that way. He was supposed to have been more important than she was. She was wrong! She shouldn't have taken him away again. What was wrong with him? Why couldn't he see it? She was the one that was… he couldn't finish the thought. He looked around the room. No one was talking. No one was eating. Everyone was looking at him. "WHAT?" He demanded.

Ginny had listened to the words Sirius said. She thought for a moment about the questions he asked before she took a step toward him. "What if it was me? Would you allow our children, already angry with you, to tell me half-truths?" He watched at Madison stood and left the room. Draco took another sip of tea.

He stepped back from her words, his hands dropping from his chest. His mouth opened at what she said. "That's different. You and I are meant to be… together." He hissed the words at her. Realization as the word 'together' left his mouth. He fell into his seat; his face in his hands. Suddenly, without words, he rose and left the room, slamming the great doors behind him. He needed to get away. He needed air. He needed… to apologize. Sirius moved away from the doors as soon as Madison had left, but returned immediately to hear the rest of the conversation, then walked to the apparition point, and left the estate.

They watched Harry leave the room. No one made to follow him, but they did all eventually leave as well. Each going somewhere to review what had happened.

Sirius went to the room he shared with Rowan the night before. She was gone, as was her backpack and her makeup. He first thought to go to Grimmauld Place, but knew she wouldn't go there willingly. His only other idea was Hogwart's. He flooed directly to Albus Dumbledore's office; finding Rowan sitting with him, drinking a bottle of water. She showed no signs of tears; just resolve.

Sirius sat next to her, gauging her reaction, and related everything that had happened, "You were right, they are really angry with you. If it helps, they're as angry with me." He told her of Harry's ultimatum and eventual realization.

Rowan gave no hint of emotion before she spoke, "I'm sorry they are angry with you. But honestly, I don't care. They're adults, and can do as they please. They'll understand one day when Hermione has Harry's baby, because she can't quit sleeping in the same bed with him. Or when Harry gets pregnant with Ron's baby, which would be interesting as hell, I might add, because they are not nearly as quiet as they seem to think they are. But that's neither here nor there, I can't change what happened. My parents cut me out of all resources when I married you. I still chose you. I made the right decision then. I am making the right decision now."

"What decision is that?"

"I am leaving. If the kids or you need me, they can contact me. I have accepted in a teaching position at the high school I used to work at, when I had a normal life."

"When did you decide this?"

"This morning when you weren't there when I woke up. I knew that yesterday was just…"

"It wasn't, I swear it Rowan. I do love you. Is leaving really what you want?"

"No, I want you and... but I know that isn't possible…"

Albus, who had not spoken once since Sirius entered his office, looked across his desk. "I feel the sudden urge to interrupt before you say something you will regret, or worse, lose your temper… will you listen to me?" They both nodded, "Sirius, Rowan, I have known you two very well for a long time. I kept tabs on you when you were gone, as I am sure you realize," she nodded, "and Sirius, you were kept as safe as anyone could after your escape from Azkaban."

He nodded before continuing, "But before that, your relationship was never been easy: first your attempts at Hogwart's, then your decision to stay in England; your mother's reaction which effectively cut off your financial stability. The first time you were together, there was a war raging between and around you. But you have always loved one another.

"Rowan, dear, you made a mistake for which she should not be held responsible; Sirius, she did not intentionally betray you. I do not believe she knew about Madison's parentage or she would have stayed in England and fought your mother. Of course, your mother would have killed Madison to give Mason the powers, but that is not the issue."

They both nodded, "You have much to discuss. I can leave you to do that here, or you can go where you choose. But if you are ever to have a future, you must start it now, while you can still ask questions and get answers. I will be glad to mediate anything too difficult to discuss if you choose.

"As far as Remus goes, I will only say this: He loves you both very much. Not just as friends, but for all you have shared as couples, he loves you. When you start to heal, consider this."

"Thank you Albus," she said quietly, "I… told him...everything" Albus looked into her eyes and knew she hadn't spoken the truth, but she continued anyway, "after the Ball. I came here to you to let you know where I was in case anyone needed me. Originally, honestly, I came back here only to get Siri out of the veil and explain what had happened since he was there. Now that I have done that; I don't have any reason to stay. The kids hate me."

"Mason, Draco, Ron and Hermione seem to be in neutral corners. Ginny is on your side, as is Katie. Your only real problem is Harry and Madison."

"Does it matter? Madison and Harry are serious ring-leaders. She has something to prove and he… well, he's just the natural born leader. If Harry hadn't already fallen in love with Ginny, I think he and Madison would have ended up together. God helped us all when that didn't happen." Sirius did not have an answer for her.

"Maybe… I mean, if you are willing, we could leave for awhile… together. Let them sort it out, either they'll realize it all or they won't. But in the meantime, we can go to the island for a bit if you want. Talk and maybe sort this all out."

She looked at him as her jaw dropped. "Yea, so maybe we have more to talk about. I don't like you very much, but I do love you, regardless of what happened twenty years ago or two years ago. I would like the chance to get to know you. Really take time to get to know the adult you have become, and put aside the child I loved. Are you willing?" She nodded; Sirius noticed that she was not crying.

Standing, they both hugged Albus before leaving.
