Breaking Spells
Part Four: Breaking the Spell
Light spilled in through the window of room 069. Still exhausted, Hermione rolled away. Her eyes shot open as pain, coming from her abdomen and between her legs, surged through her body. Slowly, she rolled back to her original position, wincing as her body ached. She lay there, wondering if Luna and Ginny felt the same way. She looked over to Luna, who lay on her stomach; her hair sprawled out all around her head.
Slowly, Hermione propped herself up on her elbows. When she reached a sitting position, she twisted, allowing her feet to rest on the floor. She used her bedpost for support as she stood. Deciding that the hospital wing should have some sort of potion that could relieve the pain, she dressed herself and hobbled out of the room and down the corridor.
Walking warmed up her muscles, allowing her pain to subside. She passed the second-floor girls' lavatory and stopped. There was a sound coming from inside. She pressed her ear against the door in an attempt to understand what she was hearing, but all she could hear was a faint, shuffling sound. Hermione pushed the door open. She looked at her cauldron; it was still there, undisturbed with a flame burning under it. She scanned the room. As her eyes passed over the right-hand stalls, she saw a shadow pull back, causing her to gasp in fear.
"H-hello?" She called out, hearing her voice tremble. "Who's in here?"
The only reply was her own voice echoing back from the far end of the lavatory. She pushed the door the rest of the way open. As she took an unsure step into the lavatory, she realized just how afraid she was. She felt no pain as she walked what felt like miles through the room. When she reached the last stall on the right, where she saw the shadow, she hesitated, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath before swinging herself around to find- a wall and a small sink with an orange drain. I'm still tired. She thought. My mind is probably just playing tricks on me. She then turned and walked to her cauldron.
Hermione knelt down next to her cauldron and watched as flecks of leaping toadstool and devil's snare leaves rose to the surface, carried by bubbles, only to cool and sink back down. She stood and walked toward the lavatory door. Her imagination ran rampant as she walked. Having her back to whatever projected the shadow that she saw caused fear to surge through her. She tensed up and ran as best as she could manage. She heard a small shuffle as she grabbed the door and slammed it behind her.
Her heart raced as she backed away from the door, bumping against the opposite wall. She stared at the lavatory door for a while. No other sounds came from inside. Feeling her heart thump hard enough to leave her chest, Hermione sidestepped along the wall until she rounded the corner and walked as quickly as she could to the hospital wing.
Hermione entered the hospital wing and saw rows of empty beds. She remembered waking up in one of those beds after she had been petrified. She shivered as the image of the basilisk flashed in her mind. She saw an assortment of medicines on the shelves in the large room. Looking through the cabinets, she finally found a potion to relieve pain and help heal muscles. She drank a vial and grabbed two more vials, assuming the Ginny and Luna were probably as sore as she was. She left the hospital wing and walked in the opposite direction that she had come from, deciding to take the long route around the castle back to her room.
The potion began to take effect quickly as she walked through the corridors. She was able to tighten her abdomen without wincing in pain, though a dull ache remained, and the soreness between her legs began to subside. She rounded a corner and knocked a house elf on his back.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She said as she bent down, grabbing the house elf by his hand to lift him to his feet.
"It's okay, miss Granger. Polpy is alright." The house elf said.
Hermione looked the small house elf over and asked, "Polpy, are you sure there is no one else in the castle?"
"Polpy walks through the corridors all the time, miss Granger. The only people Polpy has seen is miss Granger, miss Weasley and miss Lovegood. If anyone else was in the castle, Polpy would have seen them." The elf said assuredly.
"It's just... I think I saw someone in the second-floor girls' lavatory." Hermione said.
"Polpy can go and see if someone else is in there if miss Granger would like."
"No, it's fine. I think it's just my mind playing tricks on me. I've been exhausted these past couple of days."
Hermione was surprised to see Luna sitting up in bed when she stepped into the room. Luna sat cross-legged, looking down at her lap. She looked utterly exhausted. Hermione smiled as she stepped forward and pulled out her wand. Muttering a spell under her breath, she pointed her wand at Luna's head and her hair stood straight up, untangled itself and fell flat. Luna looked up at her and offered a weak smile.
"Feeling sore?" Hermione asked.
Luna didn't even attempt to respond. She nodded her head slowly. Hermione chuckled as she pulled a vial from her pocket and said "Here, drink this."
Luna grabbed the vial, pulled the stopper and threw her head back, downing the thick liquid in one gulp.
"Ghhh... Oh, that's not very good at all." She said with a grimace as she shivered.
"No, it's not, but you'll start to feel better soon."
"Good, because honestly, I'm not entirely sure I can walk right now."
"Well, you rest up a bit longer. I'm going to go see if Ginny is awake. I'm sure she could use some as well."
Hermione left room 069 and walked down the corridor to Ginny's room. She knocked on the door and was surprised to hear an answer. She slowly pushed the door open and saw Ginny sitting on her bed, brushing her hair.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I tried to get up to come see you, but as soon as my feet hit the floor my body said 'no'."
Hermione chuckled. "Well, I brought something that might help with that. Here." She said as she pulled the vial from her pocket. "It will help you heal and relieve the pain."
Ginny snatched the vial from Hermione and downed the liquid in one gulp before Hermione could warn her of the taste. Ginny closed her eyes tight and sat still, looking like she was attempting to hold the potion down. After a few seconds, she gulped and violently shook her head.
"Oh, wow. I think I would have preferred to stay sore." She said as she wiped her mouth.
"Yeah," Hermione said, "almost as bad as Polyjuice."
"Speaking of potions. How's our potion coming along?" Ginny asked.
"It's going well. I checked on it a little while ago. Should be ready tonight."
"You said that we basically have to do what we did the first time the spell was cast, right?"
"Luna will have to cast the spell again and we'll have to be performing the same act. So, we'll have to be doing something sexual in the room of requirement."
"After yesterday, I hope I'll be ready for tonight." Ginny said.
"Give it about twenty minutes. The potion will kick in and you'll feel like you could run for miles. Come on, we could all use some breakfast."
Hermione and Ginny left Ginny's room for room 069. Hermione had to walk slowly as Ginny used the wall for support. They sat in the room for a while, waiting for the potion to take effect. After a few minutes, Ginny began feeling better and Luna was up getting dressed. The three of them left Hermione and Luna's room and slowly walked to the kitchens.
The house elves, still happy to see the three witches had returned safely, had an assortment of different breakfast foods. They each walked down the table, piling food onto their plates. The house elves had outdone themselves. It was the best breakfast Hermione had eaten in all her years at Hogwarts. By the look on Ginny and Luna's faces, they felt the same way.
They left the kitchens and decided to walk by the lake. Luna was right about the near-death experience. Everything seemed so much more beautiful to her. She noticed things she had never noticed before. Bees landed on flowers, birds chirped in the trees, fish fins broke the surface of the water. They sat down near the bank. Hermione closed her eyes and leaned her head back, basking in the sun as the wind flowed through her hair.
"Wanna go for a swim?" Ginny asked.
"I don't have a swimsuit." Said Hermione.
"Don't need one." Luna said.
"What are you suggesting?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I see two options." Luna said as she laid back on her elbows. "Either we can just take our shoes off and swim in our clothes, or we can just take everything off and hop in."
"Yeah, let's just take all of our clothes off out in the open for anyone to see." Hermione responded sarcastically.
"Oh, Hermione," Luna said while rolling her eyes, "how many times do we have to tell you that no one is here. They're not due back for another four days. We have the entire castle to ourselves. We can stroll through the corridors completely naked without having to worry about anything. We could invite all of the house elves to the Great Hall with us to have some more fun and not have to worry about a thing."
"That sounds fun." Ginny said smiling.
"No. before you start suggesting things, no." Hermione said.
"Well, I'm going for a dip." Luna said as she pulled her shoes off.
Luna walked down to the edge of the water and tested the temperature with her toe. She quickly jerked her foot back with a sharp inhale.
"On second thought, uh, we don't have any sunscreen. We'll get burned."
"Yeah, I'm sure that's what's stopping you." Hermione chuckled.
"Hmm. I'm sure the Room of Requirement could have a nice, warm pool for us to swim in." Ginny said.
"We all know how that would work out. So, no." Hermione said.
"Why? It's just a pool." Ginny said.
"Ginny, the Room of Requirement not only acts off of what you require, but also what you desire. With the way we've all been lately, we can't set foot in that room without seeing vines. We're going tonight after the potion is finished."
"Speaking of tonight." Luna said, "I was thinking, why don't we make it special? Spend the entire night in there, enjoying the room and each other one last time. Something tells me we won't want to risk going as a group again after tonight."
"You never know." Hermione said, drawing a smile from Luna. "I think that, even though this whole thing has been a mess, we've grown closer to each other. There's no denying that, spell or no spell, we've had a lot of fun together in there."
"Yeah, we sure did." Ginny said. "I definitely wouldn't mind going back after this is all over. Just, no Legeresentire, Luna. I'm sure we can find a way to have as much, if not more fun without it."
"Agreed." Hermione and Luna said together.
"So," Hermione said, "I don't know about you two, but I barely lasted a few hours with the house elves. I don't know how I'm going to last an entire night in the Room of Requirement."
"I have a spell for that." Luna said.
"Oh, no," Hermione said as her eyebrows shot up, "not another one."
"Don't worry! I've read all the notes. It's not even a sex spell. It's called omni-patientia. It's a fairly simple spell that was used to give oxen and horses more energy so they could work longer."
"Great, so we'll just use a spell that's meant for animals. What could go wrong?"
"It's been used plenty of times by witches and wizards to help them stay awake and energized so they could continue working as well." Luna said.
"Oh, well, okay, fine." Hermione said.
"Great! So, I assume I have your permission to use it, then?" Luna asked.
"Oh, please. Had I not brought it up, you would have used it anyway." Hermione said.
"Yeah, you're right." Luna shrugged.
The three witches laid back on the warm grass and basked in the sun as small clouds drifted lazily across the sky. After some time, Hermione heard soft breathing and an occasional snore that indicated that both Luna and Ginny had fallen asleep. A cloud blotted out the sun and she opened her eyes. The sky was a beautiful sight. One large cloud blocked the sun while the sky was dotted with small, puffy clouds. She shifted her gaze to the lake and saw ripples distorting the image of the sky as wind blew across the surface. Trees in the distance swayed in the breeze. She sat up, not wanting to fall asleep so she could enjoy the experience. She looked to Ginny and Luna as the cloud moved past the sun. Both of them had lifted one arm and covered their faces, blocking out the light.
Hermione quietly stood and walked to the edge of the lake. Crouching down, she dipped her hand in the water; it was freezing cold. She wondered how the lake could be so cold in the heat of summer. Looking back at Ginny and Luna, she decided to go for a walk along the lake's edge. Looking out into the water, she saw fish breaking the surface and birds diving for their prey. At one point, she saw a giant tentacle breach the surface as a massive silhouette glided just below the water. She stopped as she watched the massive tentacle twist and writhe as it sank back down into the water. After the tentacle was gone, Hermione realized she was biting her lip. She turned around and started walking towards the two dots in the distance that were Ginny and Luna, who appeared to still be laying down in the grass. As she approached them, they propped themselves up on their elbows.
"Where were you off to?" Luna asked.
"Just wanted to go for a walk. Didn't want to wake you two."
"We weren't sleeping." Ginny said.
"Do you normally snore while you're awake?" Hermione asked, smiling.
Ginny looked at her feet. "I don't snore." She said quietly, causing Luna to laugh.
"Sure you don't." Hermione said. "Come on. It's just about lunch time."
Ginny and Luna stood and joined Hermione as they walked back to the castle.
"How much longer until the potion is ready?" Ginny asked as she chewed a broccoli floret.
"It's supposed to brew for twenty-four hours. We started it at eight O'clock last night. So, it's going to be ready same time tonight. That'll give us time to eat dinner, relax a little longer and then we'll go to the Room of Requirement."
"So, what do you want to do until then? It's only noon, now." Ginny asked.
"Well, I plan on going to the library to find that spell you want to use. It's not that I don't trust you, Luna; it's just that I want to be as safe as possible. With the amount of trouble we had to go through to get this potion, I don't want to have to brew a different one to break another spell." Hermione said.
"I guess that's not a bad idea." Luna said.
After lunch, Hermione, Ginny and Luna left the kitchens for the library. Luna guided Ginny and Hermione to the aisle where she found the book. She pulled the book from the shelf and flipped through the pages until she found omni-patientia. She handed the book to Hermione, who intently read the passage. After a few moments, she stopped.
"Okay, seems safe to me." She said.
"Glad to know you approve." Luna said playfully.
"Great! Well, that killed all of fifteen minutes. What are we going to do with the rest of our time?" Ginny asked.
"Whatever you want, I guess." Hermione said.
"Can we go check on the potion? See if it's done?" Ginny asked.
"It's not going to be done until after dinner, but if you really want to, we can." Hermione responded.
They arrived at the second-floor girls' lavatory a few minutes later. Hermione stopped so Ginny and Luna would walk in first. After they crossed the threshold, Hermione walked in. Luna and Ginny walked to the potion while Hermione walked to the right-hand side stalls. Slowly, she peered around the corner of the last stall. Nothing. She turned around and began walking to the potion then stopped. Turning slowly, she began walking back to the stall again. She could have sworn there was a sink there when she checked that morning. She looked again. Still nothing.
"What are you doing, Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"Nothing. Just checking over here. I thought I heard something; thought it was a leaping toadstool that had gotten out."
"Have any jumped out?" Luna asked.
"Not to my knowledge." Hermione said.
"Guess we'll find out tonight, then." Ginny said.
Hermione walked over to the potion and knelt down next to Ginny and Luna. She looked into the cauldron and watched flecks of devil's snare leaves, leaping toadstool and fluxweed bob along the surface as the potion boiled.
"Is it ready yet?" Ginny asked.
"No, Ginny. Like I said earlier, it won't be ready until after dinner."
"Ugh," Ginny groaned, "that's so long to wait."
"I know, I know. Just be patient. We only have to wait a few more hours." Hermione said.
"How about we get broomsticks and go to the Quidditch field?" Luna suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea." Hermione said. "You can teach us some of your maneuvers. We can even fly around the castle grounds."
"Yeah, I guess that is a good idea. Let's go." Ginny said, sounding a little disappointed.
The three of them stopped at Ginny's room to pick up her broomstick and headed to the Quidditch field. Ginny led them into the ready room. She blushed as she remembered the last time Hermione and Luna met her in that room. Practice broomsticks hung on racks on the walls. Hermione and Luna each grabbed one and walked back to Ginny. She reminded them of how to properly mount the broom and had them each push off before flying out onto the pitch. It was amazing how much practice it took to keep oneself stable on the broom. It was second nature for Ginny but she could tell that neither Hermione nor Luna had touched a broomstick since their first year. Smiling, she had them run through a series of simple maneuvers. They strafed left and then right, climbed and then descended and finally they moved forward and then backward.
Ginny held her broom in hand and looked to Hermione and Luna.
"Follow me." She said as the walked out of the room and to the launchpad.
Running with her broom in one hand, Ginny dove off of the launch pad and straddled her broomstick mid-fall. Pulling up hard, she felt her knees barely scrape the ground as she leveled her broom. She climbed to the height of the launchpad and watched as Luna and Hermione stared in shock. Slowly, they cautiously floated off of the edge. She could see Hermione tighten her grip as her feet cleared the floor.
Knowing they were both terrified, Ginny lowered herself to the ground, signaling for Hermione and Luna to follow.
"Let's stay low for now." Ginny said. "Once you two are used to flying again, we'll go for a trip around the field and then across the grounds."
She had Luna and Hermione follow her across the field as she made increasingly sharp turns. Once they were confident, they began racing across the field, flying through the hoops and rounding the stands.
After exhausting themselves flying at high speeds, they decided to go for a leisurely flight across the castle grounds. Luna took the lead, flying toward the lake. The setting sun shimmered off of the water as they lowered their altitude to dip their hands in. Ginny raced ahead and banked hard toward the castle, followed by Hermione and Luna. Torches flickered in the windows as they flew around the great towers and spires.
They continued toward Hagrid's hut and flew just higher than the tree tops of the forbidden forest. Hermione saw the clearing where the star charts stood. Ginny raced ahead of her, flying at high speeds nearly a hundred feet above. As she crossed over the clearing, she fell. Hermione watched in horror as Ginny lost all control of her broomstick. As soon Ginny was clear of the circular area, she regained control of her broomstick and stabilized herself.
The three came to a hover just short of the clearing and stared at one another.
"What happened?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"I don't know. Once I crossed over the clearing, my broom just stopped working. Once I was clear of it, it started working again."
"That's the strangest thing." Hermione said.
"Sun's almost set. This isn't really a safe place at night. Want to head back to the castle?" Luna said.
The three witches flew back to the Quidditch field and returned the practice brooms. Together, they walked back to the castle. They attempted to figure out what would cause the broomsticks to stop working over the clearing. None of them could think of a good answer other than the magic that stopped the broomstick must be the same magic that kept the clearing free of debris and growth.
As they approached the castle, they marveled at how amazing it looked when fully lit. Welcoming lights flickered in the windows, inviting them in. The massive doors opened as they approached and they continued down the stairs to the kitchens. The house elves had a three-course meal prepared and plated for them at the table. Hermione ate her salad first while Luna pushed hers away in favor of dessert. Ginny ate a quarter of her salad before moving on to her entrée. After they finished eating, they thanked the house elves and left for the second-floor girls' lavatory; taking three goblets with them.
"Almost ready." Hermione said as she stirred the cauldron's contents.
"It's seven forty-five now." Luna said. "Think we should get some extra clothes from our rooms? By the time we make it back, it should be eight O'clock."
"Yeah, I guess that sounds like a good idea." Hermione said.
The three of them left the lavatory and gathered their extra clothes from their rooms. They met outside of room 069 to walk back to the lavatory.
"Has anyone thought about what we're going to do?" Ginny asked. "Because I haven't."
"Well, that's surprising." Hermione said. "No, I haven't thought of anything."
"Neither have I." Luna said. "I guess the room will just... read our desires?"
"I guess we'll find out."
Hermione turned off the burner under the cauldron and carefully divided the potion between the three goblets. Slowly, they walked to the Room of Requirement. The potion was very thin and sloshed like water as they walked. No matter how smoothly they tried to walk, they couldn't keep the liquid stable in their goblets and had to make frequent stops to let it stabilize. A walk that would normally take no more than five minutes took them twenty.
"Okay, wanna cast that spell now?" Ginny asked Luna when they reached the door to the Room of Requirement, which had manifested itself as a great, double-arched oak door.
"Uh, sure. We might want to put the goblets down first. I don't know if it'll make us twitch or something." Luna said.
The three of them set their goblets down and Luna pulled out her wand.
"Omni-Patientia!" Luna said as she pointed the wand at Ginny. She repeated the process with Hermione and then herself.
Hermione didn't even realize that she was tired until Luna cast the spell. She felt like weights were pulled from her body as energy pulsed through her. She felt alive.
The three of them picked up their goblets and Ginny pulled one of the doors. Hermione could tell it was heavy. Ginny looked as if she had put her full weight into it, causing it to slowly creak open.
Torches with blue flames lined the walls. In the center of the room, where Hermione expected to see a bed or a pool, was a massive, green stalk that slowly pulsed and swayed. Behind the stalk, on the far wall, was a small door.
"Well, let's get started, I guess." Luna said smiling.
"What's behind that door?" Hermione asked.
"I'm sure we'll find out soon enough." Ginny responded.
The three witches gathered in a circle and each held their goblets up by their faces.
"Is there any ritual we need to perform?" Ginny asked.
"No, the instructions didn't say anything about any rituals or spells; just that the potion had to be drank in the same area where the spell was originally cast and it has to be cast again afterward." Hermione said.
"Well then, here goes." Ginny said as she threw her head back and drank the potion. Hermione and Luna followed.
The flavors of each ingredient in the potion worked well together. Not really complimenting each other, but more balancing each other out. The beef broth and salt gave the potion a mostly salty taste while the marmalade and what Hermione imagined to be the fluxweed flowers provided a sweet undertone. The devil's snare leaves provided a savory kick that was absorbed by the leaping toadstools, which mostly neutralized the flavor of the leaves. Hermione was glad the potion only called for two leaves of devil's snare. She felt like any more leaves would overpower the mushrooms and the rest of the potion.
"That was surprisingly good." Hermione said.
"Much better than the potion we drank this morning." Luna and Ginny said together.
"Alright, now for the fun part." Luna said as they set their goblets and extra clothes down by the wall. She pulled out her wand, held it straight up in the air and shouted "Legeresentire!"
The room began to rumble. The giant stalk in the center began to twist and writhe until it exploded upward, spreading vines, tendrils and tentacles across the ceiling. Luna dropped her wand and stared at the ceiling that was quickly turning into a writhing mass of vines. Hermione watched as vines also snaked from the bottom of the stalk, slithering across the floor and climbing up the walls between the torches.
"This is... going to be... fun." Ginny said quietly.
The giant stalk started to open at its center, revealing thousands, if not millions, of tiny tendrils and small vines that stretched out from it, reaching for them.
Three vines shot out from the ceiling near the stalk and wrapped themselves around Ginny's arms and waist. She yelped in surprise as she was jerked off of the floor and pulled to the stalk. Four massive tentacles erupted from its center. They stretched out and rose up, revealing rows of suckers that lined their undersides. One of the tentacles shot forward and wrapped itself around Ginny's chest just below her breasts. Hermione felt the pressure as it squeezed and then pulled away, twisting and ripping Ginny's shirt. Another tentacle came from behind her and pushed itself between her legs, placing its suckers along her crotch to her tailbone. It, too, squeezed and then pulled, ripping a large segment of Ginny's pants away, revealing her panties and a most of her inner thighs.
Ginny hung suspended by vines as large octopus-like tentacles ripped her clothes away. She watched as another stretched out for her, stopping just short of reaching her panties. Tiny tendrils slithered along the length of the tentacle and reached out, caressing her legs. She felt herself begin to heat up. The tendrils slid up her legs and into her panties. She felt them slide over her entrance and then pull, ripping her panties at the crotch. Slowly, the massive tentacle inched forward. It flipped its tip upward, revealing a small sucker. Feeling her body heat up as if she had just stepped into an oven, Ginny lifted and spread her legs. Two vines, coming from either side of her, wrapped themselves around her legs, keeping them suspended. She began breathing hard as the tentacle approached her at a snail's pace. After what seemed like hours, it finally reached her. The tentacle placed the tiny sucker that was near its tip on her clit and began to suck.
Breathless, Hermione fell to her hands and knees. When she was finally able to inhale, it came in as a gasp and exited as a strained moan as she felt Ginny's projected pleasure. She looked down to see a massive wet spot in her pants. She laid on the floor and rolled over onto her back as she attempted to remove her pants. She didn't realize that, when she rolled over, she put herself in reach of the vines that had slithered across the floor.
Hermione squirmed on the floor, trying to unbutton her pants with her shaking hands. She heard a faint slithering sound next to her but was too focused. A vine wrapped around her wrist and pulled it from her pants. Another vine wrapped around her leg. They began to pull, sliding her across the floor toward a pulsing mass of tentacles and vines. Vines reached out as she drew closer, wrapping themselves around her waist and free arm and leg. She felt them slither over her body as she was pulled into the mass. Several vines slid up into her shirt and pulled, stretching and tearing it off of her. One vine slid across her hips toward the button of her pants. It slid across and broke the button free and then slid downward, forcing her zipper down. Two sucker-lined tentacles came from either side and grabbed her pants. They pulled, ripping her pants down the center. Finally! She thought as tendrils slithered into her panties, sliding across her entrance.
Luna watched as Ginny bucked and moaned as vines kept her suspended while large octopus-like tentacles pulled at her breasts and clit. Hermione had been dragged across the floor to a giant mass of vines and tentacles. She couldn't contain herself anymore. The projected pleasure wasn't enough. She needed to feel it for herself. She looked around her. In front of her was Ginny, suspended by vines and to her left was Hermione, who was barely visible as vines and tentacles surrounded her. She looked at the giant stalk in the center of the room. The four massive octopus tentacles that were wrapping around Ginny held the stalk open. Biting her lip, Luna made her decision and ran.
Vines stretched out and grabbed at her legs, trying to pull her into small piles on the floor but Luna Jumped over them. She swatted several tentacles out of the way that attempted to wrap around her arms and when she was less than five feet from the stalk, she jumped. Vines and tentacles shot out from the opening and wrapped around her arms, legs, waist and neck and pulled her in.
As Luna was being pulled into the stalk, tentacles with massive suckers ripped her clothing off. Inside the stalk was complete darkness until several vines and tendrils began to glow. With the interior illuminated, Luna saw that she may have bitten off more than she could chew as the stalk was filled with thousands of tentacles of various shapes, sizes and types. She felt a suckered tentacle snake over her shoulder. Its suckers pulled gently on her body and as they crossed her breasts, they would suck hard on her nipple, pulling her breast down until the seal was broken only to be replaced by the next sucker. She moaned as the tentacle inched closer to her entrance as its tip, with a tiny sucker, slithered across her stomach, pulling at her skin. She watched as it placed itself on her clit. As soon as the small sucker began to pull, Luna felt several somethings pulling on her insides. Knowing nothing was actually inside her, she wondered who was receiving the special treatment as the waves of pleasure coursing through her indicated that they enjoyed it very much. Her mouth fell open then she bit her lip as she moved her hips back and forth. A vine wrapped around her neck and pushed upward at her chin, forcing her to tilt her head back. A massive, penis-shaped tentacle inched its way to her face. Unable to escape the grasp of the vine, she opened her mouth.
The tendrils pulled upward on Hermione's panties. A massive tentacle shot forward with blinding speed and entered her. She winced in pain and gasped in pleasure as vines covered her body. The last thing she was able to see was Luna running full sprint toward the stalk. She jumped and vines reached out, catching her and pulled her in. The mass of vines and tendrils covered Hermione completely. She felt vines slither underneath her, pulling her to the center of the pile. They slithered across her, caressing every inch of her body as the massive tentacle thrust itself harder into her until it pushed deep, released a hot liquid and pulled itself free, spraying the remainder of its cum on the tendrils and vines that covered her. She felt it drip down onto her as the vines continued to caress her body, smearing it until a thin coat of semen covered her body. Feeling the combined projected pleasure of Ginny and Luna, she felt that it couldn't get better. She felt something different slither up her leg. She tilted her head down and, as needle-thin beams of light entered small gaps in the pile, a strange looking tentacle was illuminated. It wrapped around her leg and continued upward to her entrance. It slithered up her body, pushing vines and tendrils out of the way until it stopped between her breasts. Hermione's eyes went wide as she was finally able to clearly see the tentacle. It looked strange because it didn't just have suckers on its underside; instead, the entire tentacle was covered in suckers. She felt it tighten around her leg as the suckers began to work, pulling at her leg, stomach and chest. It slithered forward under her bra and pulled, ripping it off. It then slowly slid itself down. She could see red marks left behind by the suckers as their seals were broken. When the tentacle reached her entrance, it slowly pushed itself in. Hermione gasped and exhaled a shaky moan as the suckers began to pull at her insides, causing her to instantly reach climax. Her entire body began to shake and tingle.
Ginny moaned as Hermione's projected orgasm washed over her. She squeezed the tentacles in her hands hard, causing them to spray their cum across her chest. She reached down and grabbed the nearest tentacle and shoved it into her entrance, it obediently began to thrust and twist inside of her. Coherent thought was impossible with the amount of pleasure pulsing through her. The vines flipped her and spun her each time a tentacle would finish in or on her. Tentacles rubbed themselves against every part of her. At one point, a tentacle pushed itself against her foot. She brought her feet together, squeezing the tentacle tightly as it began to thrust. She worked her feet back and forth, watching eagerly, waiting for the tentacle to burst. When it did, it sprayed it's cum onto her thighs and stomach and was quickly replaced by another. On the seemingly rare occasion that she had a free hand, she'd grab the tentacle sucking her clit and push it harder against her. Sometimes a vine would pull her hand away, placing its head in her palm, other times she'd reach out and grab the nearest tentacle and stroke. The vines flipped her so she faced the floor twenty feet below her. Another tentacle placed itself between her feet. She squeezed tight as it thrust. Tendrils slithered up the backs of her thighs and into her crevasse, spreading her cheeks. She looked back as best she could just as the tentacle burst. It sprayed onto her bottom entrance, causing her to jump. Spraying again, its stream coated her back and splashed onto her face. Another tentacle slithered between her feet but continued forward. She felt the tendrils pull harder at her cheeks as it neared her rear entrance. It slowly pushed itself in an inch and then thrust hard, pushing her forward in her harness of vines. Ginny looked forward involuntarily as the tentacle thrust itself deep into her rear and for the first time since the first tentacle began sucking her clit, she had a coherent thought. What's behind that door?
A flash of light came from behind the stalk and for a brief moment, Ginny thought she saw a wand wave. Her attention was pulled from the stalk when she noticed the edges of the door begin to glow. Slowly, the door began to open, spilling light into the room.
Luna, who had been held in a mostly vertical position while inside the stalk, was spun around so she was facing the point where she entered the stalk. The vines that had covered the entrance now pulled away, revealing the gaping hole she jumped into. The walls slowly closed onto and around the massive tentacles holding the stalk open until only a small hole, no more than three inches in diameter, was left. Vines shot up from beneath her and wrapped around her ankles, pulling them down to the floor. Tendrils covered her feet, securing them in place. The vines wrapped around her neck and arms pulled, forcing her to bend over onto a table made entirely of tendrils. They wrapped around her breasts and squeezed, making her bite her lip hard. The two massive tentacles that had been twisting and writhing in her rear and front entrances removed themselves and, to Luna's dismay, didn't release their cum onto her. Most of her body was covered in sweat and a thin layer of the thick liquid. She felt the walls of the stalk press against her bottom and then she felt the coolness of the room outside. The stalk stopped advancing a few inches from her breasts. Looking forward, she saw that her head was nearly level with the hole in the wall. It, too, began advancing toward her, stopping inches from her face.
Luna jumped when she felt hands grab her bottom. Thumbs slid into her crevasse and pulled outward, spreading her cheeks. Something massive was rested between her cheeks and began to thrust back and forth. The hole in front of her darkened as a figure blocked the light. The thing's front side was partially illuminated by light that made its way around the figure, revealing grey skin and then a large penis that was slowly pushed through the hole. A penis that Luna recognized.
"Lorm-" Luna began but was cut off as the massive something behind her she now knew to be a house elf penis was thrust into her vagina.
The vines released her arms and Luna reached forward and began stroking Lormy's penis as she licked its head. The elf behind her was putting everything he had into each thrust. Even through the stalk's walls, Luna could hear his abdomen slap against her bottom as his balls slapped her clit. Stretching her neck, she pushed her head forward, taking in Lormy. She swallowed as she continued to push forward, stopping when her lips pressed against the living wall in front of her. Lormy began to thrust as Luna swirled her tongue around his head. She felt feet clamp down on her hips as another house elf climbed on top of her. The hands that were spreading her cheeks pulled harder as new hands rested on her waist and, likewise, a new penis entered her.
Ginny watched the massive flitterbloom stalk contract as house elves surrounded it. She noticed Lormy standing where the entrance used to be, hugging the stalk. Slowly, Ginny's harness of vines began to lower her. Several house elves walking through the newly opened door took notice and made their way toward her. Before her feet touched the ground, vines from behind her wrapped around her ankles and pulled, bending her knees as they continued to lower her. As soon as her knees hit the floor, her lower legs were covered in vines. Two vines slithered up the backs of her thighs and spread her cheeks. Two more vines wrapped around her wrists, pulling them behind her back and pulling up, causing her to wince and bend over slightly. When Ginny opened her eyes, she could see that she was surrounded by massive, throbbing cocks. She looked up at the elves and licked her lips.
The massive sucker-covered tentacle pulled itself from Hermione's entrance just as it began to pulse. As pinpricks of light grew larger, she could see the tentacle begin to ooze white liquid from its suckers. Most of the vines in the pile coalesced beneath Hermione, raising her up on a platform a couple of feet off the ground. As they migrated beneath her, vines securing her waist, chest, neck and upper arms tightened their grip. Finally able to see once more what was outside the mass of vines, she was shocked to see house elves. Several elves stood in front of Ginny, rubbing their penises on her face as she licked them. A line formed behind the young woman as house elves took turns mounting her. Hermione could feel each penis enter her rear. She jumped when she felt a hand grab her hair.
"Polpy?" She exclaimed.
"Hello miss Granger. Polpy hopes you don't mind. Polpy really wants miss Granger."
Hermione smiled and tilted her head back, opening her mouth. More house elves grabbed her wrists and guided her hands to their throbbing penises, which she began to obediently stroke. One house elf lifted her legs and rested his penis on her entrance while another climbed on top of her and squeezed her breasts together against his penis. As the elf at her legs pressed himself into her, she felt small tendrils push into her rear. She wrapped her legs around the elf and pulled, causing the house elf to lose his balance and fall into her. Hermione moaned as the elf's full length was forced into her. Placing his hands on her hips, the house elf began swaying his hips side to side. Hermione followed suit, swaying in the opposite direction as Polpy thrust himself into her mouth.
Ginny struggled to catch her breath between her moans and the ever-present elf penis in her mouth. Each time one house elf would finish in her, she was only afforded a couple of seconds to breathe before another house elf took his place. To her own surprise, she began to prefer they cum on her rather than in her mouth so that she could breathe for a couple more seconds. No longer able to see, she breathed until another penis was pressed against her mouth or a house elf grabbed her face to turn her head toward him.
Slowly, the vines holding her wrists behind her back began to loosen their grip. When she felt they were loose enough, she pulled hard, freeing herself from their grasp. She immediately wiped her eyes and reached out with both hands and grabbed the penises of two house elves and began stroking.
Every now and then, a house elf moving out of the way wouldn't be immediately replaced with another and Luna could see Ginny being mounted from behind in much the same way Luna felt she was being mounted. Looking past Ginny, she could see a crowd of house elves surrounding the spot where Hermione had been. She assumed the girl was still there. She felt another pulse inside her followed by warmth. The elf removed himself and sprayed the remainder of his semen on her back. Either Legeresentire was wearing off or the projected feelings had become numbed due to overexposure. Either way, Luna wanted more. Without the projected pleasure of Hermione and Ginny, the single-minded thrusts of the house elves in her rear and vagina were not enough. The house elves had one goal: to finish. Where they sprayed their cum, be it in her or on her, didn't matter to them. They weren't concerned with pleasuring her; she would have to take matters into her own hands. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, the giant flitterbloom stalk expanded, engulfing the rest of her body as well as the two house elves on top of her and the one in front of her.
The tendrils and vines securing Luna's feet, neck and arms released her. She stood straight, knocking the house elves off of her and turned to face them.
"You've had your fun. Now it's time to be considerate. My turn."
Vines rose up from the floor and twisted together to form a latticework platform for her to sit on. Two smaller platforms raised her feet up. Luna stretched out her arm and made a beckoning motion with her finger. One of the house elves stepped forward between her legs. He grabbed his penis and went to place it on her entrance. Luna shook her head, causing the house elf to stop. She placed her hand on top of his head and pushed down hard, forcing the elf to his knees. She then grabbed him by the ears and pulled him toward her entrance. The elf ran his hands along her glistening thighs and used his thumbs to spread her entrance as he began to lick. Luna leaned her head back, closed her eyes and smiled. The other house elf in front of her climbed onto her lap and began squeezing her breasts and nipples, leaning in to bite and lick. She felt his still throbbing penis press against her stomach. I'll make sure they're well rewarded for this. She thought. She felt the vines of the platform open up beneath her. Two tendrils slid into her crevasse and spread her cheeks. The third house elf, who she nearly forgot about slid himself under the platform and began to lick her bottom entrance. The three house elves worked together to pleasure Luna, who began to shake as she was brought to climax once more.
Hermione involuntarily squeezed as hard as she could with both hands causing the house elves to squeal as she was brought to what was either her eighth or nineth orgasm; she had lost count at four. Her head was foggy and the house elves didn't show any signs of stopping or even slowing down. They began to finish quicker when the tendrils joined in, wrapping around their penises and stroking while they thrust themselves into Hermione. Maybe she was on her twelfth orgasm. The Omni-Patientia spell Luna cast had clearly worked and was very possibly the only reason she was still awake. Instead of tendrils, vines now writhed in her rear. The house elf straddling her chest thrust forward and burst, spraying his cum on her neck and chin. Hermione looked down and saw his still throbbing penis slowly ooze cum onto her chest. He released her breasts and rubbed his penis on her nipples, coating her breasts with the remainder of his cum. Hermione released the two penises she was holding and grabbed the elf, pulling him toward her. He was very light and slid across her chest. She opened her mouth as he slid into her.
Ginny felt the vines restraining her legs begin to move off of her. As soon as she knew she would be able to break free, she lifted herself up and lunged forward. Her sudden outburst startled the house elf in front of her, causing him to step backward as the others surrounding her jumped back. She pushed the house elf in front of her and he fell onto his back. Ginny immediately lowered herself to her knees, grabbed the elf's penis and began to suck. She felt hands on her hips and rocked back, knowing that an eager penis awaited her. Though she expected the penis, she didn't expect the tendrils wrapped around it. The sudden shock caused her to bite, which caused the house elf to jump. He squealed, but grabbed her head and pulled her into him. She continued to suck, biting the elf's penis lightly. Not long after, the house elf jerked as his cock began to pulse, oozing cum that she collected with her tongue and swallowed. Ginny pulled back and looked behind her. The house elf squeezed her hips so hard that his already pale fingers were even more white as they dug into her skin. He was clearly feeling as much pleasure as she was and would soon finish. She tightened her core and began to rock back and forth. The elf's mouth fell open and he immediately finished. Ginny felt the warmth of his semen fill her as it dripped from her entrance. She looked to her right and saw Hermione lying on top of a mass of flitterbloom, bobbing her head, sucking an elf's penis as he sat on her chest.
Luna grabbed and pulled the house elf between her legs as she was brought to orgasm once more. Her body began to shake as she pushed herself against him. The inside of the stalk brightened as a hole behind Luna opened. She turned toward the opening and could see Ginny walking toward the large pile of flitterbloom that held Hermione. Luna stood and told the house elves to follow her. She stepped out of the flitterbloom stalk. Halfway into her walk to Ginny and Hermione, she heard a soft bell coming from the open door. All of the house elves in the Room of Requirement looked toward the door, hung their heads and slowly walked to the door.
"Come back any time." Luna said as she passed several elves on her way to Ginny and Hermione.
Ginny reached the pile, climbed on top of Hermione and began licking the cum off of her breasts. Luna could see that Hermione was still restrained by several vines. When she arrived at the pile, she walked around to Hermione's legs, knelt and began licking her clit.
Slowly, the vines began to move as they slithered across the floor around Luna. They wrapped around her legs and continued up her back until they had a tight grip on her. Suddenly, they pulled Luna into the pile beneath Hermione. The vines then began to slither across Hermione and Ginny, slowly engulfing the two of them as they did with Luna. Hermione was lowered until she felt herself bump against Luna. Luna, who was beneath Hermione wrapped her arms around her and slid them down to her legs, where she pulled, spreading them. Vines, tendrils and tentacles then entered the three witches. They moaned and shook as the flitterbloom writhed inside them. The flitterbloom pile grew as more vines, tentacles and tendrils added to its mass. The three witches, completely surrounded, were lifted to the center of the pile and flipped and spun this way and that as new vines entered them. When they came close to one another, they would take the opportunity to kiss, lick, bite, suck or finger one another. After some time, everything began to blur together as their heads grew foggy from repeated orgasms.
Hermione was unsure how much time had passed. Vines and tentacles had grown slow in replacing one another. She felt her eyes begin to droop.
Slowly, the vines of the flitterbloom mass lowered the witches to a soft mat that had materialized on the floor. Hermione checked her watch that had miraculously remained on her wrist. They had been in the Room of Requirement for sixteen hours. Her arm fell limp as she fell asleep.
With great effort, Ginny rolled her head to the side and saw Hermione's arm fall as she drifted off into a deep sleep. Luna was already snoring. Feeling sleep begin to overpower her will, her head rolled back toward the main entrance to the Room of Requirement. Her vision grew blurry as she drifted off into sleep. Just before her eyes closed completely, she could have sworn she saw a slender figure with short hair walk in front of the door. As the figure opened the door, Ginny fell asleep.
The three witches woke some time later. Hermione knew they had been asleep for several hours. The three of them were completely dry and very sticky. Luna pointed toward their extra clothes, indicating that showers had appeared. Unable to stand, they crawled to the showers and sat in the warm, running water for nearly an hour. The showers sputtered and soap began pouring from the showerheads, coating them. Ginny used her hands to bathe herself. After a few minutes, the showers sputtered and began spraying water again. They rinsed off. The warm water loosened their muscles. They all trembled as they clambered to their feet.
"I- I'm not." Hermione said as she waved dismissively at her extra clothes and walked to the door. Ginny and Luna followed.
Together, Ginny, Hermione and Luna walked naked through the castle, using the walls for support until they came to the dorms. Hermione and Luna groaned as they lazily lifted a hand to wave goodbye to Ginny, who slowly made her way to her room. With her hair still dripping, Hermione fell onto her bed and surrendered to exhaustion seconds later.
Author's Note:
Well, there you have it. It took a while to finish Breaking Spells, but this was the final part. You may be wondering what became of Hermione and Erthos. You might have some questions. Did the potion work? Who or what did Hermione see in the lavatory? Who or what did Ginny see leaving the Room of Requirement? Don't worry. Though this the final part of the series, I have three to four more shorts I'm in the process of writing now that should answer any questions you may have. Each short focuses on one of the three witches and we'll see what happens in the other(s).
I hope you enjoyed reading Breaking Spells as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please, let me know what you think. Fortunately for us, habits can be hard to break. Keep an eye out for Habits, a three to four-part series. Since they are short stories, they should come out quicker than Breaking Spells. Since I wrote parts one through three of Breaking Spells before releasing the first part, (I felt that it was taking too long to write, (which it was) so I released Part One when I was about halfway finished writing Part Four) Habits may very well be complete by the time I release this part.
Unfortunately, I think Habits may be my last erotic fanfiction (at least for a while). I've learned a lot about writing on this project and I want to thank my readers for taking this journey with me as I improved my writing abilities. I will be moving on to other, non-erotic projects, but I've been thinking... Secrets in the Room of Requirement was only going to be a single part. It wasn't meant to be a series at all. Toward the end of writing part one, I decided to add the possibility of Luna and Ginny joining Hermione. It was then that I decided that I would make it a multi-part series. Likewise, Breaking Spells wasn't even a thought until about halfway through part four of Secrets. That being said, at least the first part of Secrets and maybe even the second part felt rushed. I may go back eventually and re-write the series. I won't change major plot points, but I'll change the wording a little and add more story to it. Instead of replacing parts in the series with the re-writes, I'll add a "v202X" marker in the title. If you'd like to see this, let me know.
