Harry and the Fairy Flirt
August 2nd 1992
(& August 3rd 1992 at the end of the chapter)
Chapter 7: "The Secret's out"
Harry rounded the corner of the cobblestone street and gazed across the busy street 'I never would have guessed that there is this many people here on the island.' He watched Orria, Hermione and Luna at a distance. They had asked to be left alone for a moment and he was happy to oblige. 'Luna has reacted better than I thought she would to the outfit. I never dreamed that Hermione and Luna would be so sensitive.' He thought back to the fainting spell and how Luna had reacted when he put the hat on her.
Hermione had been her typical self till he found the book she had thought of making him read this morning. She was surprised till he bought it and started reading it as they walked through the rest of the village then she grew suspicious. There were several things she had thought of and when he found them she didn't get excited she just grew more suspicious. The final straw was when he found a set of dolls and bought them for her. 'Without saying anything she took them and smiled devilishly …. I should have known right then.' Harry sighed 'I might as well have said flat out that I read her thoughts this morning.'
Luna was having a blast all morning; darting to and fro finding the creepiest things for him to try on. He smiled happily and humored her till she put the pink boa on him and handed him some stilettos then he drew the line 'funny how she didn't get angry she just giggled and darted of to find something else to humiliate me with' He ran his hands through his hair nervously 'Hermione is going to kill me… either with anger or guilt but trust me she will.'
He glanced over at the girls 'I am certain that Hermione knows something…maybe Luna does too, she has been trying to distract Hermione since we left the house' He glanced over at the girls again this time Luna waved playfully and Hermione glared at him 'Damn she knows… and now I think I may learn firsthand some of those spells she has been studying… hopefully it is just that… I can handle that…' He looked up at the sky 'Please God no tears…I couldn't handle that…' He looked back down and looked straight at Hermione then Luna caught his attention and she gave him a smile, wave and blew a kiss. 'Okay… that's weird'
Hermione threw her arms into a pout and stomped over to him. Luna danced happily behind her. Orria kept her head down and walked slowly behind the two girls. Hermione stopped in front of him her scowled had added a bit of sadness to it. "How could you!" She brushed aside a tear "Did it entertain you? I thought I could trust you." She sobbed "looking inside my mind is one thing but using what you see to mock me!" She turned around and threw her head into her hands crying.
Harry glanced up with a sigh 'thanks' He took a deep breath and then looked at the other two, Orria looked terrified of loosing Harry and Luna was still dancing. Giving Orria wink and a gentle smile he put his hands on Hermione's shoulders. "I'm not mocking you, I have no idea what a woman wants or thinks or feels. You are so confusing Hermione a man needs to be a mind reader in order to make sure you are happy and don't need a thing."
Hermione turned around and looked at him and Harry wiped the tears from her eyes "I should have known you'd be the first to figure it out."
"Oh I knew before I came down for breakfast" Luna giggled then frowned "I kind of wanted to see how far I could get you to take it" she gave him a smile and a wink.
"I feel used."
"Not yet" Luna giggled then kissed his cheek and pranced off to look at one of the stalls that had just opened up.
Hermione giggled at Luna's comment and Harry pulled her into a hug whispering in her ear "Why do I get the feeling you interrogated Orria within an inch of her life?"
Hermione blushed and whispered back "she's not easy to break you know… I'm actually very impressed."
Harry rolled his eyes and kissed her cheek then whispered in her ear "let me talk to Orria now please"
Hermione smiled and turned to join Luna yelling over her shoulder at Harry "alright but we are not done talking about this."
"Orria come here" He held his arms open gesturing for a hug. Without a word Orria stepped forward and leaned her head against him sobbing Harry said the only thing he could think of "I love you."
Orria looked up at him shocked "Harry…"
"Orria, I can't think of anything to say but that… I love you and nothing you do will change that." He smiled "of course I can't say that I am never going to get angry or annoyed. And I certainly am not going to get angry at you for caving during one of Hermione's interrogations…I know what she is capable of." He kissed her on the nose "and don't ever expect me to stop the playful torture game that we seem to have started."
He kissed her deeply, parting her lips and adding the urgency that was expressed in the daydream. He pulled back when he heard her sigh "so tell me; what is my punishment for your wardrobe malfunction this morning?"
Orria grinned devilishly "you get to model one for us when we get home."
"And the game continues… round one goes to Orria with a knockout" he wrapped his arms around her, picking her up he tossed her over his shoulder "you are so light Orria I could carry you all day" he crossed the street to join the other two as Orria protested.
"Put me down" Orria giggled as she smacked him on the butt.
"Not yet" Harry smirked eyeing the fountain at the park not far from them.
Orria turned to look at what he had glanced at and shrieked "No, no you don't Harry,"
"Someone is going into the fountain today." Harry smiled.
They walked into the house a couple hours later; the three girls were prancing as they talked about their finds and the upcoming year at Hogwarts. Harry trod slowly through the door and stripped to his boxers, dropping his wet clothes on the floor he walked past three giggling girls to the stairs where he turned and bowed to them then went up to his room as Hermione laughed outright and Luna and Orria did catcalls.
"Round two" Orria called after him. "She turned to face the other two girls "what do we want for dinner?"
"Oh, I know the perfect thing, let me handle it you two go get dressed." Luna smiled
Hermione and Orria shrugged and trod up the stairs to their rooms. Orria stopped by Harry's room and swung open the door to hear the shower going. Slowly she crept to the bathroom door and pushed it open slightly 'I wonder how much I…' Orria shrieked as a pair of arms wrapped around her and quicker then she could react they carried her forward to the shower and tossed her in. It took her a few seconds to find her feet then she whirled around and saw Harry laughing.
"You are so adorable… Orria I didn't know you were the wet T-shirt type of … ugh" Harry didn't get to finish his thought because he got tackle by a wet, furious fairy.
It took him a few minutes to catch her but once he did he pinned her down and tickled her till she caved … He sat up, he only straddled her he was careful to not put pressure on her so as to not hurt her "ah see now that wasn't so hard now was it…"
Orria giggled then changed to a fairy flew out from under him changed back to human form and tackled him "You were saying" She giggled as she pinned him "I think I win."
"That is cheating" Harry chuckled
"You're just jealous because you are stuck in just one form you can't change like I can"
Harry smiled "What is so important about that plus why would I want to have several forms when this one does just fine?" Orria frowned and he chuckled at the cute little pouty lip she was getting "I like the way I look…" Orria's face then reminded him of the face she made Last night…Harry then frowned "this isn't going to be pretty, is it?"
Orria grinned slyly and shook her head no.
Luna had just put the last plate of food on the table when Hermione came into the dining room. "Luna how did you find this room?"
Luna just smiled "The house helped." She then pranced back toward the kitchen but stopped abruptly "She is good…" Luna laughed hard then darted for the kitchen. Just as she was returning a scream came from upstairs.
"What was that?" Hermione jumped up ready to run to the stairs when Luna stopped her.
"It's alright… he had it coming" She continued placing the cups and filling them one at a time "Just wait you'll see."
It took a few minutes for Orria to prance down the stairs and into the dining room with a big grin on her face. "I think you will love his choice of…" she giggled "oh you'll see"
"Oh Harry!" Luna giggled "come on down!"
Harry rounded the corner and stepped into the dining room, his hair a messy brown skin glistening like diamond and sporting a yellow polka-dot bikini.
The girls all started laughing so hard that Hermione nearly fell out of her chair. "Harry you look pathetic!" Hermione smiled at him trying to regain her composure but burst out laughing again "Plus you sparkle!"
It took them about an hour to calm down, once it looked like they would one of the girls would comment on his wimpy toothpick out of shape look or the pretty fairy sparkles and then they would burst out laughing again. Finally it ended with Luna and Hermione sporting big grins as they gave Orria a standing ovation for her handiwork. "Round three Harry" Orria giggled.
Finally relaxed the four sat down to eat. "Save some room for desert there are plenty of pies for everyone." Luna giggled
Harry listened hard trying to keep up with them as the conversation varied from the day's events to magic in general and it even touched on the upcoming school year all within the space of a few minutes.
"I'm sorry Harry," Orria caved "Maybe the sissy looks were a bit much" she quickly changed Harry back "but you're not going to remove the bikini" she smiled "Or I will let Luna at you with those stilettos."
It took only a few minutes after that for Harry to get frustrated enough to stand up "Alright fine, I don't care how you 'punish me' Orria I have had it" He took the bikini top off first then the bottoms. "There that is much better" He tossed the suit at Luna who giggled and stuffed in into her pocked. "Now I can eat more comfortably" He sat down and grinned at the slack jawed red-faced Orria and Hermione that couldn't take their eyes off of him. "I believe your faces say that round three is actually mine."
"I concur" Luna giggled
Harry & Luna continued to eat, the two finished before Hermione and Orria who sat there staring for a good ten minutes before they snapped out of it and quickly finished their food. Happy and giggling Luna smiled as she looked up to the ceiling.
'I think she's up to something… I know that look I've seen it way to often on Orria.' Harry cringed
"Okay house it's time for pie" Luna jumped up and ran for the corner of the room as pie's appeared on the table then flew at the three still seated at the table.
Jumping from his seat he ran to the edge of the room followed by a few dozen pies 'I knew it…' Harry ducked and dodged every pie that had been following him 'I have to admit though she is far more creative than Orria' He glanced towards the table and saw Hermione and Orria jump up and dart to the edge of the room in an attempt to escape the bombardment but to no avail.
Harry made his way over to Luna who stood in the corner bouncing up and down with a smile. "I am very impressed Luna…" Harry ducked as a pie flew to him then turned and headed for the table again.
Luna looked down towards the floor then back up at Harry "So am I Harry" She smiled at him seductively and leaned in to cuddle up to him.
Harry looked over his shoulder to see a pie flying at him "Hold that thought love" He kissed her on the forehead and bolted for the table where Orria and Hermione were getting pelted. "Oh bloody hell why not," He looked up at the house "Can you provide pies on the tables to please" With that two or three dozen pies were on the table. "If you can't stop it… You might as well have some fun with it." He scooped up a pie in each hand and flung them at Hermione who turned and scowled at him.
"Harry stop helping!" Hermione stomped her foot and nearly fell as she slipped from the mess on the floor.
Orria picked up a pie getting Harry's hint and flung it at Hermione too "Why not Hermione we're already a mess?"
Smiling she started scooping up pies and tossing them at Harry and Orria but Harry ducked and dodged so well that no pie could hit him. "Stand still so I can pie you Harry!"
"Like Hell Hermione" He laughed and darted back towards Luna pie in hand.
Luna smiled and called off the flying pies then turned towards Harry "Oh no you don't." She ran towards the other two girls but Harry hit her in the back as she ran away. Scooping another pie off the table he followed her then stopped after he hit her a few more times to duck shots from Orria.
Luna scooped up a pie and tossed it towards Orria but it missed however a pie thrown by Orria hit Hermione in the face and Harry double over laughing. Angry Hermione turned and threw one at him as he jumped over the table but the pie missed and hit Orria instead. Harry Laughed as he then darted to the other side of the room just as a pie was flung in Luna's direction hitting her in the face, tasting it she smiled "Yum, Cherry" Luna then danced around the room chanting "Throw more Cherry, Throw more Cherry!" The House Kept providing Pies for the fun seekers as each of the girls were getting creamed from all sides. Hermione threw a pie at Orria just as Luna danced by. Unsurprisingly the pie hit Luna instead, bringing up a finger she swiped some off and tasted it then frowned "Apple… I never mix my pies." Giggling she grabbed a pie in each hand "I want to play too!"
The pie fight last a good two hours before the group of girls cornered each other and instead of continuing the fight they collapsed on the floor amongst an ocean of pie remnants. Harry smiled and walked over to them "Round four goes to me I think." He then turned without a trace of pie on him and walked out of the room. Stopping just outside the door he turned and smiled up at the ceiling "House I think the dining room need a good soak and spin dry." He chuckled at the screams of protest "make sure you rinse off every speck of pie in the dining room please" with a smile of pride he headed for his bedroom.
Harry soaked in the tub for an hour enjoying a good warm bubble bath kept warm by the house before he curled up in his pajamas on the bed with the book he bought earlier that day. When he was about half way through the book his bedroom door flung open and what appeared to be three bubble people walked in. Wiping the bubbles from her face Orria scowled at him. He could tell which one was Hermione due to the folded arms and tapping foot. And as always Luna was happy, giggling and trying to form the bubbles into a bikini and funny wig.
"You did this" Orria scowled at him "Didn't you?"
Luna tapped her on the shoulder and shook her head no. With a sly tone she commented "I wanted in on the game too"
Harry burst out laughing "Orria I'm surprised you missed that one. It had to be her she was the only one that didn't get hit by the flying pies, she ran for the corner before the pies started flying and Luna is the one who prepared diner and desert."
Luna smiled "It's the pie and suds, they got into her ears and have clogged up the gears in her head…give her a while then she will be able to think clear again." Luna smiled at Harry and winked "Congratulations Harry you must tell me how you avoided all of the pies." She curtsied then headed towards her room to clean up.
Hermione let go of her annoyed anger and reluctantly apologized for her temper then headed for her room leaving Orria and Harry alone. "The house has a warm bath prepared for you." Harry smiled at her. "I asked the house to have it ready to go so when you got up here you could climb right in and maybe afterwards we can talk?"
Orria nodded her head yes then turned for the bathroom. Opening the door she saw candles everywhere giving the room a sultry glow, chocolates, a book and a glass of sparkling cider on a small table by the large two person tub and of course a nice warm bath smelling of bath salts and complete with flower pedals floating on the water. Orria wept softly and Harry came up behind her with a towel and started to wipe away the suds starting at her face so he could give her a deep kiss.
"I love you Orria, now just go and relax for a while."
She turned smiling at him "I would like to take this moment to say that you have officially won the game." She turned back around walked into the bathroom and stopped just inside the door. She turned around again to face Harry "I love you too Harry, and thank you." She shut the door stripped off all her clothes that quickly vanished taken to be cleaned by the house. Stepping into the tub she leaned back and relaxed "Damn now I can't play any pranks on him without feeling guilty" She slammed her fist on the top of the water making a big splash "Damn he's good."
They had both fallen asleep as soon as she climbed into bed so the following morning 'the talk' commenced. "Orria remember you promised to clue me in about what's going on." He kissed her deeply putting in as much passion into it as he could hoping that it would weaken her resolve and make her more open and honest. Pulling back he asked once again "please tell me what's going on here"
Orria sat up and sighed with frustration "okay…" She fidgeted "I'll do the best I can" For a few minutes she thought of where to start. "First off there is a mix up with the prophecy I'm not sure what yet but I have theories." She smiled hopefully "However most of them are wrong considering I assumed that Hermione was the only one that could remove the connection between you and Wart Boy but I've already done that…I think…I mean the scar is gone and the scare was a symbol of the connection so shouldn't that mean…"
"Orria sweetheart to what prophecy are you referring to?"
"Orria took a deep breath and recited:
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ...
Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…
And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...
And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ..."
"Interesting…I'm guessing that they think it's about me and Wart Boy" Harry raised an eyebrow at her "Is it?"
"Yes, but there is something about it that they have wrong I know it, the elders of the realms have said so…" She sighed in defeat "they won't help me because they say I shouldn't be interfering"
"Well it's a little late for that so why hold back?"
"True, True…So ok here goes" She took a deep breath and started "Everyone does assume that it means ol' Wart Boy but it doesn't the elders say 'like a book isn't the author the person that wrote it is' either that or they just smile and walk away whenever they are asked about it."
"Someone is behind him? I can't imagine him being a tool!" Harry gasped "If he is just the tool then how powerful is the one behind him?"
"That I can't say, and don't ask who it is too."
"Please I figured that out already, I just didn't know that he was the one behind the Wart Boy I thought there was two."
"There is"
"Make up your mind please" Harry groaned.
Orria giggled "I'm sorry, there are two Dark Lords one is just a blow hard and a tool for the other." She smiled at him then kissed him on the nose.
"How powerful do you have to be to control a dark lord such as Wart boy?" He thought back "You said Wart Boy is a two year old throwing a temper tantrum but about what."
Orria smiled "I thought you'd never ask" She repositioned herself and started her tale. "It started with a boy that became the lover of a man continued with the man finding another, someone more attractive to him. Then when the boy became a man he went after the one who the man was obsessing over from a distance and the woman that tried to protect him." She sighed "luckily the handsome son made it through the tantrum unscathed. Well almost, but that's gone now so no worries." She reached stroked his forehead running her hand over the fake scar.
"So basically I am unwillingly at the center of a lover's spat between two dark lords."
"That's a good way to put it yes." Orria smiled nervously "does this appease you for now or do you want more information"
"I think that is about as much as I can handle right now…" He grimaced "Somehow the thought of what Dumbledore was dreaming about doing to my father is…Crap that's why he is obsessively sweet to me?" He looked over at Orria who nodded.
"I was hoping you wouldn't catch that just yet" she smiled at him concerned "Harry you're turning green are you ok?"
"I think I'm going to be sick" Harry leapt off the bed and ran for the bathroom.
"Maybe I told him too much" She worried "I probably should have taken it easy on him, I mean this is a lot to take and considering how kinky Dumb-Dork is..." Orria winced.
