Chap. 10- Play Along
Luna tried to find Harry and Hermione throughout the night but was unsuccessful, so she decided to tell Hermione when they get home later on. The night was uneventful since there wasn't much to do. Harry and Hermione didn't like the festivity since a certain someone was present. Harry then decided to leave early seeing that neither of them were enjoying themselves.
"Do you want to go now?" Harry whispered into Hermione's eye as they sat at the dinning table just watching people socialize. Hermione didn't respond, all she did was turn to face him give him an unsure smile and nodded. Harry returns the smile and took her hand in his as he stood up and announce him departure.
"Where are you going Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"I'm sorry but we must leave. We both have to be up pretty early tomorrow. Thanks for the invitation Arthur, and do continue to enjoy the night. I'll be seeing you around." Harry replied.
"Very well, I'll be seeing you later then." Arthur said softly. "Nice to meet you, Hermione." He told Hermione and she smiled.
"It was a pleasure to meet you as well." With that both Harry and Hermione made their way over the main character of the night, Draco and Ginny to say a respectable good-bye. However, during their whole encounter, they didn't notice one person's piercing glares. Grace wasn't too happy with the fact that Harry and Hermione were so comfortable within each other's embrace and she detests Hermione for being able to hold Harry. She saw the couple left happily and she gave them a smirk.
"You're not going to be happy for long…so enjoy it." She said to no one in particular. This whole time Luna has been keeping an eye on Grace to see if you were up to no good. She notices that Grace was smirking while eyeing the new couple as they leave.
"Dam, stupid bitch can't even smirk right. Jeez." Luna told herself making a mental note to slap that ugly smirk off Grace's face. With that she thought that she too should get going, so she turns to Neville.
"I think I'm gone to get going." Luna said picking up her stuff.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Neville replied.
"No, just stay and enjoy yourself. I'll be fine." Luna told him with a smile as she stood up.
"No, its fine, I'll take you. I don't want to stay any longer either." He said as he to stood up and lead her away, saying his goodbyes to certain people as they left.
(Harry and Hermione)
Harry has led Hermione to her front door hand in hand. The dinner didn't turn out to be the greatest date they would thought it would've been but they were still happy that they got time to spend together.
"I'm sorry your night is ruin…" Harry said as they stopped in front of 2A.
"What are you talking about Harry? It wasn't ruin. I had fun, honestly. Some great people you know. Like Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and your old school mates. Very amusing bunch if you ask me." Hermione assured him.
"But Grace was there, and I knew you weren't comfortable with that. I'm sorry I didn't know." Harry told her.
"Don't apologize for something you didn't know. Yes, truthfully I was a bit shock to meet your ex-girlfriend, but that was just one moment through the night, and I had many great moments with you. So that kind of balance things out." Hermione explained smiling sweetly.
"You're right. I promise to give you a romantic first date. So this one doesn't really count as a date, alright?" Harry asked, pulling her into him.
"Alright." She replied as she looked up into his sparkling eyes. Harry took this chance to kiss her. It started slow as Hermione slid her arms around his neck and his around her waste. Then things started to heat up as Harry's tongue beg for entrance. Hermione gave him access without question and they tasted each other for the first time. Harry gently pushed her against the wall as their tongues began a battle of their own. They then slowly pulled apart due to lack of oxygen.
"I-I think we should go in-inside." Hermione said panting heavily. Harry just nodded since he wasn't able to say much after that. Hermione smiled and took her keys to open up the door.
The minute she push the door open, she turned around and grabbed Harry by the collar and drag him in for another senseless kiss. They both stumble through the door, forgetting everyone and everything around them, as Harry kicked the door closed. All that matter was them and what they were doing. They were lost in each other's desires for more. Hermione then pushed him up against the wall and was rewarded with a soft groan. She smirked against his lips and her hands began to wander. She pulled away from his lips just to trail kisses down his neck while her hands started to take off his coat and unbutton his black shirt. Harry couldn't take it anymore, he was growing hard and he needed her. With one quick swing he flips their position and now it was Hermione up against the wall. Harry placed kissed down her neck stopping at her collar bone to nibble and lick making her moan. He grabbed one of her leg and hooked it around his waist while his hands roamed, searching and exploring her body. His shirt was now fully unbuttoned and Hermione was feeling him up. Their lips are now locked again as tongues clash, hands roam and hips grind. Hermione's dress was now bunched up at the bottom where her knickers were showing and the top was so low that her breasts were now visible and touchable. Harry saw that and immediately placed his hands on her right breast and squeezed gently. These made Hermione moan even louder and arc into Harry's touch, exposing her smooth neck. Harry once again went for her neck slowly moving down her chest and finally taking one of her breast within his mouth. As Harry lick and suck, giving attention to both breasts, Hermione was going to lose it. She was so overwhelmed by the pleasure Harry's giving her, and she didn't know what else to do but scream his name.
"Har-Harry…I need you, now!" Hermione let out breathlessly. At this, Harry's pant and boxer were down at his ankle as he slowly pulled down Hermione's soft cotton knickers, no wait thong. She then placed her little fingers around him to guide him in. He was now at the tip of the entrance, when…
BAM
The door swung open and came in an excited looking Luna. Harry and Hermione was surprise by the sudden outburst and pulled apart not realizing that they were not properly clothes.
"OH MY FRREEAAKKKINNGG GOD!" Luna shouted, taking a longer time then expected. "OMG, OMG, OMG!" Luna continues to look at the half naked couple up and down when she spotted Harry's… "Oh myyyy…." Luna finished. This made Harry turned scarlet and cover himself as quickly as possible.
"LUNA!" Hermione yelled, "Go back outside, give us a couple of minutes to tidy up." She demanded.
"Oh, right…take your time. Finish your business if you have too. No worries." Luna as gave Harry a wink before stepping back outside. Harry and Hermione then let out a relief fit of laughter. Getting caught by Luna would mean the end of their lives as they know it. They then hurried things up and gave each other a long sweet kiss.
"Better go get Luna, don't want to be caught again…" Hermione commented, giggling a bit at the memory. Harry nodded smiling and was off to let Luna in and Hermione went into the kitchen to make some tea, but the funny thing was that she had a stupid grin plastered on her face.
"Come in Luna, its safe now." Harry called out.
"About time too. I thought I would have to wait till tomorrow." Luna replied and Harry rolled his eyes and walk back towards. Luna thought it would be fun to mess with Harry so she went behind and grab a piece of his bottom making him jump and squeak. At the same time Hermione was walking out of the kitchen and laughed at Harry's expression.
"Hey, hey…Luna, that's my goods you're molesting." Hermione joked.
"Alright, alright. What a friend you are. You don't even share." Luna replied sticking her tongue out.
"Hey, you don't share the good stuff…" Harry butted in grinning as he walked over to Hermione and hugged her. Luna just rolled her eyes.
"Well enough of this. I'm here to tell you guy something that would freak the freaking freaks out of ya." Luna said as the three of them took a seat in the leaving.
"Oh is that so? What would that be?" Hermione asked simply. Luna was about to tell them about Grace, but looking at the two them made her think of the moment just a couple of minutes ago.
"I will never look at you two the same way again." Luna expressed shaking her head.
"Is that what you were going to tell us that would 'freak the freaking freaks' out of us…" Harry asked in a mimicking voice.
"Maybe, Luna…that's why you knock next time…" Hermione told her.
"Uh, hello! I do live here you know. Just because I don't sleep here 6 out of the 7 days of the week but hey I do live here. See, I got keys…" Luna replied holding up the bunch of keys she carried. "I have a better idea, maybe next time; you take it up in your room.
Oh how does that sound? Aren't I brilliant?" Luna finished smirking at the sight of the couple's bright red face.
"Uh, so what was it you were going to say?" Harry tired to change the subject.
"Right. Well while at the little party today I over heard something I'm glad I did." Luna started, and continues as she saw the confuse expression on their faces. "I believe it was your ex-girlfriend, Grace?"
"Yeah, what about her?" Harry replied.
"Oh nothing, she's just coming up with a plan to break you two so she can have you back." Luna said as a matter-of-fact. Harry and Hermione looked at each other, not knowing what to say just yet. "Oh, and your little bride friend, Ginny will be in on it also. Some friends you have." Luna finished as she drank her tea.
"I can't believe she would do something like that." Harry commented a bit angry.
"Ah, it's written all over her face. 'World's Biggest Bitch'…" Luna uttered. Everyone was silent for a couple minutes before Luna spoke. "So, what are you guys going to do?" Harry looked at Hermione as though she had the answer. In all honesty, he didn't know what to do.
"Play along…" Hermione muttered.
"What!" Both Harry and Luna asked at the same time.
"We will play along with this game she wants to play, and at the end, it's her who will be hurt and feeling all stupid inside." Hermione explained.
"Brilliant!" Harry complimented Hermione's ingenious idea.
"I thought so." Hermione replied proudly. The three of them then talked for a good 25 minutes about the plan they're conjuring to throw back in Grace's face. It was now half pass 10 and Luna decided to leave and go clubbing because the little party was just not good enough for her. She bid them good bye and remind them to be good…
"Be good, but if you tend to be bad, please, in your room Hermione…" Luna finished and waved goodbye.
Harry and Hermione were now just sitting on the sofa wrapped in each other. Harry knew there was one thing he needed to tell her, before Grace got the chance.
"Hermione?" Harry whispered
"Yes?" was her reply.
"There's something I need to tell you, because if Grace is indeed planning to break us up, I don't want her to have a hold on something. So, I don't want there to be any secrets." Harry uttered.
"That's very thoughtful of you Harry, but I'm fine with everything Grace throws at me. I understand that there are parts of one person that they are willing to share just yet and I will respect that." Hermione explained smiling up at him.
"I know, but this I want to tell you." Harry said and Hermione nodded letting him know to go ahead and tell her. "Hermione…I'm a wizard."
Hermione was just there still stroking his legs and Harry didn't know what to think. Was she shock? Scared? But what she said next was something he did not anticipate.
