Chapter 11: 5th of June 2004
The next day, William went out and bought a bouquet of lilies. Then he went home and placed them on Julia's tombstone. He knew Julia wasn't buried there, but he put the flowers there anyway.
Then, he spent the whole day making a shelter for his sister's tombstone, so that it could be sheltered from the rain and strong sunlight.
That night, William went out to buy a pack of Butterbeer and he brought his umbrella along, because it looked like it was going to rain.
Sure enough, when he got out of the Three Broomsticks, it started to drizzle, so William opened his umbrella.
He barely walked for a minute when he saw a familiar figure standing under the shelter of Honeydukes to get out of the rain. She looked miserable as she stared out at the rain.
"Mary!" he yelled.
Mary turned to see who was calling and she went pale. Immediately, she ran off. William cursed. He tossed his umbrella and Butterbeer aside and chased after her. Soon he caught her.
"William, let go!" cried Mary.
"No, I will not." said William stubbornly. Mary was going to listen to him, just this once. "Do you know how much I miss you?"
"Don't say that to me, William, I'm engaged." said Mary, looking away from William. "I'm marrying Aidoneus. I love Aidoneus."
"No you don't." insisted William. "If you do, you won't be sad and miserable."
"I'm not sad!" snapped Mary, looking back at William.
"You are, admit it!"
"Am not!"
"Yes you are!" said William and without thinking, he pulled Mary closer and kissed her, just to shut her up.
But when William realized what he was doing, he didn't push Mary back. He just took the chance to kiss her.
Mary was struggling against him as first, but then she relaxed and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him back eagerly.
The two of them kissed in the rain, ignoring everything around them.
William released Mary and leaning his forehead against Mary's forehead, he whispered, "I love you."
Mary didn't respond. She just closed her eyes.
William brought Mary home and in his father's bedroom, William sat down on the bed, unbuttoned Mary's blouse and placed it aside. Mary removed William's shirt. She then touched William's white clam shell necklace gently with her fingertips. They just gazed at each other before William reached up, put his hands on Mary's shoulders and lay back on the bed, taking Mary down with him.
William kissed Mary's neck as he undid her bra and Mary removed the rest of his clothing. Mary lowered herself, pressing her breasts against William's chest.
Placing his hands on Mary's back, William trembled. Something rather exciting but frightening was happening to him, he could feel it. He turned over and pushed Mary down flat on the bed. Then he hesitated, thinking whether he should continue. Mary made his decision by taking his hand and placing it on one of her breasts, directly over her hardened nipple.
That drove all thoughts out of William's mind and he lowered himself, kissing and sucking on her nipple while Mary threw her head back and moaned loudly in pleasure…
William was now sitting up, leaning against the headboard. Mary was sleeping beside him, her arm draped over his abdomen. William stroked her hair absentmindedly and his eyes travelled down her naked body. Half of it was covered by the blanket.
His eyes then stopped at the spot of blood near the end of the bed. Mary actually bled when William entered her and he didn't expect that. He must remind himself to clean that up later.
Mary said it was common for girls to bleed in their first time but what happened if Mary slept with Aidoneus in their wedding night and Aidoneus found out that Mary was not a virgin anymore? Then he and Mary would be in trouble.
William sighed. Mary opened her eyes at the sound and she looked up. "What's wrong?" she asked sleepily in concern.
William smiled and kissed Mary on the forehead. "Nothing. Go back to sleep."
Mary smiled back and closed her eyes.
William didn't think about the consequences just now when he made love with Mary. What if she got pregnant? Then Aidoneus would know everything and he would go to the papers.
Now he knew how his father felt when he had his affair with his mother.
Speaking of his father…
William wanted to get out of the bed but he found that Mary was holding on to him tightly. So he lifted his hand and concentrated.
Immediately, his father's diary appeared in his hand. William switched on the lamp beside the bed. Mary shifted but she didn't wake up.
Turning the pages to the part where he had left off, William started to read under the light.
5th of June 2004
Diary,
Hermione was so upset about Julia that she ended up being sick for 3 days. I couldn't even go and see her because there might be a chance that Ron may spot me and send me out of the house again. (I heard about the illness from Ginny, who sent me a letter about it and asked me whether I wanted to go back to see her)
But today, things are getting better. Hermione and I decide to put the sad past behind us and go for a vacation starting today, to keep our minds off things. It's easy, Hermione just had to lie to the Weasleys that she was going off to a business trip. Then we took on a boat to an island off Britain. We signed in at the hotel as a married couple, but with different names, of course.
Hermione wanted to take a walk at the beach, so I went with her. We were silent as we walked on the beach, holding hands, each of us lost in our own thoughts.
Suddenly, Hermione spotted 3 pure white empty clam shells. She giggled. And I smiled. That was the first time I ever saw her smiled since she aborted Julia.
Hermione took the 3 shells and went off. I was totally confused by her actions but I followed her anyway. She actually went to make necklaces out of the two bigger seashells and gave me one of them.
At first I thought it was stupid, but then I remembered that Hermione and I had nothing in our possessions to share. We needed something that identified the two of us as a couple. So I put my necklace on and helped Hermione with hers. As for the last shell, Hermione didn't do anything to it, but she kept it, because she didn't want to put it back to the beach and separate the three shells.
Hermione's mood improved when we got back to the hotel and she dragged me for a dance after dinner!
The violinist and the pianist at the corner started to play some fast music, instead of having normal formal dance steps like the rest of the guests, Hermione decided to dance in her own way, which required fast twirling and wild dancing. I clapped before I started to dance in the same way as well. We laughed and held hands as we danced. If there's a time when we were crazy, that was it. We didn't care about the other dancers, we just wanted to enjoy ourselves.
And so we did.
When we got back to our hotel room, the room was too quiet. With all the privacy we had, we couldn't resist ourselves and…
That's right, Diary, we did it again. We couldn't help ourselves. I even tried to hold myself back from entering Hermione but I couldn't.
And now it's over, Hermione was sleeping beside me, naked. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to tell you what Hermione and I did today.
What happen if Hermione gets pregnant again? Does that mean she has to go for abortion and get herself upset all over again? I can't take it if she goes for an abortion. All together, she, I mean, we will be killing two of our own children if she does, our own flesh and blood.
God.
I'm feeling tired, update you about me next time.
Harry
William closed the diary and looked at Mary, who was still sleeping. He sighed inwardly. Over two decades ago, Harry James Potter was in love with Hermione Jane Granger, a woman who was married.
Now his son William Potter was in love with Mary Lestrange, a girl who was engaged.
William looked down at his shell necklace.
"Malfoy was right." he thought. "Like father like son…"
Not only William looked like his father, his love life was as complicated as his as well.
But William was sure that he was not going to kill his girlfriend's partner like what his father did.
He didn't want to let history to repeat itself.
