Author's Note:
I had so much fun writing this chapter! It's a little over the top, but you know what, it makes me smile and as someone who has guy friends who are exactly like this — it's even more fun!
Reviews and Comments: To the Mandalorian terminator: Thanks. Yes, they now know that Snape is dead and was tortured for months. It was fun to catch up with some of the other couples. The endgame is approaching! Thank you! To Cassiopeia Anastasia Black: Yes, they are discussing their futures but there is a lot of uncertainty as well on who will survive and who will have a future. Thank you very much! To Katie2001: Yes, Harry and Ron are going to be Aurors! As to the plan, well it all depends on too many factors to see lol. Thank you! To A Huge Fan: Yes, Harry can do wandless magic, so we'll have to see how Voldemort's trap works. I love Ginny being so bold and them doing it under the cloak. Neville and Hannah are cute, thank you! To darkhk: We'll see. No promises on who lives and who dies. Thank you! To EnigmaticEmperor: Yes, I thought going down into the Chamber of Secrets did seem a like safer option. I love showing Remus being so proud of Harry (you know Sirius would be as well). Remus is definitely the hottest professor and carrying little Teddy around — he has everyone swooning. I wanted Hannah to really see how much her mother has negatively influenced her life. Neville and Hannah want to have a shop together! I love showing Dean and Seamus forgetting to use charms. Greg isn't dumb, but having Pansy on his side means a lot to him. As to Voldemort's plan about a sacrificial lamb, we will have to see. Thank you!
To alix33: Yes, congratulations all around. Thank you! To scrappy8: Thank you! To Sets: It was fun to check in with Nevannah, Deamus, and Lavenmae again. You think Dean's dad might turn traitor? Interesting. Voldemort believes himself to be above and it will bite him in the ass. Thank you! To Nuno Neves: Thank you for loving Lavender and Padma and appreciating Lavender's friendship with Parvati. Seamus imitating Ginny moaning made me laugh when I wrote it, so I'm glad you appreciated it. I love Harry and Ginny just wanting each other all of the time. I'm really happy with how the battle turned out so I hope everyone likes it as well. We're almost there! Thank you! To Guest: Thanks for liking the Hinny smut in the courtyard under the cloak. Remus teaching while holding Teddy is definitely so adorable! Thank you! To Slaidback: I'm getting really excited about the sequel! I officially finished the first chapter on Monday and celtics534 gave me great feedback! Thank you! To Wolf's scream: McGonagall was ganged up on a little bit, but she trusts Harry and Ron and Hermione. I think Pansy can be selfless on occasion, just don't expect it to last long lol. Tom did have a little meltdown lol. Thank you! To ellyann13: I rather think Bart putting his body next to the trash said a lot myself. Harry and Ron are being careful to keep sensitive information on a need to know basis and that includes McGonagall. The Auror Academy is run out of the MIA building, but not necessarily part of the intelligence agency. As to Luna and Rolf meeting, wait and see. Thank you!
To Imar Nonce: The Third Time's the Charm will be after Voldemort is defeated. Thank you. To pix25: Thank you! To Sloopyqueen4: I hope you had a good flight and thank you! To CrazyWithABook: Thank you! To the frozen flame: Thank you! It was fun to check in on everyone and see what their future plans are. As to how Bellarosa will handle the snake, it depends on what happens. Thank you! To Nightwing2013: I'm glad you found the Lavenmae scene hot and the Seamus scene hilarious, pretty much what I was going for! As to what will happen, you think Ginny will destroy the runes when Voldemort is distracted by Nagini's death? Interesting. Thank you. To Heinz-Lee: Thank you! To ascfan: Dun dun dun indeed! Thank you! To puttyman24: Greg is a lot braver than we've given him credit for. Voldemort is definitely overreaching himself, but he's too full of himself to see it. Thank you! To Undead Gothic Princess: Thank you for re-reading! I'm glad the suspense is killing you, we are so close to the battle! Thank you! To saucyswimmer: Welcome back! You're almost caught up! To tim2604: A few chapters behind, but I agree, Harry is going to be a great godfather to teddy! I loved having Bas take no shit and everyone just teaching Hinny. It was fun. Thank you!
To AQuickRead91: I love those faces! You think this plan will get the spy killed? Interesting. Yes, the Slytherins do need some manners lol. Thank you! To shuweet: Everyone is getting their acceptance letters! Thanks for loving Neville and Hannah. Harry and Bas are friendly but not exactly friends at the moment. I love showing Pansy supporting Greg. Thank you! To Khanate: Thank you! To 19HuffleClaws: I love your theoretical her guesses! But yes, I'm not going to tell you lol. Thank you, Lucy! To PotterFran17: Thank you for commenting for the first time! Being told my work is "frightening amazing" is definitely high praise. I have grown fond of my characters as well which is why I'm excited to start The Third Time's the Charm and bring about some of them (the ones who survive anyway). Thank you very much for your kind words and lovely review! To pottermum: Thank you! To wildstyle_101: I love when my titles throw people off. It was fun to check in with the other couples. Thank you! To Potterm1997: Thank you! I'm glad you were happy to check in with Neville and Hannah!
To Bellmel: Yes, Snape was tossed next to the dumpster, but to be fair, he was already dead at this point. I love showing Remus as a proud dad and just being so bloody happy and wanting to share in his son's joy and share it with others. Remus and Harry do have a genuine respect for each other and being open about sex and well anything is important. I love showing that trust between them. Thanks for saying Neville and Hannah are the sweetest couple! I really like them. I love showing Neville being such a standup guy and being so sincere and adoring to her. He just wants to make her happy. How can you not love him for that? I love that you're rooting for Harry and Sebastian to be friends lol. Yes, I loved having them tease Dean and Seamus and you're right, it has nothing to do with who is making the noises, they just don't want to hear them lol. Yes, the battle is very imminent! We are almost there! Thank you! To AnaGPotter: Thank you! I'm excited for you to read it! To Mackie919: I really hope the final battle lives up to people's expectations as I am very happy with how it turned out. Thank you! To lovemelikeyoudo: Thank you! To TatiRena: I understand the excitement for the battle and the not wanting it to happen — that's how I felt about writing it lol. No, I don't think Voldemort will pack up and leave if you ask nicely lol. Thank you!
To ravenclaw_rockchick: Thanks! I grew up using the twenty-four clock so it's second nature to me. All of my clocks are set to military time lol. I love Harry and Ron's bromance and I'm so glad other people love it too. Ron is definitely not a test fan lol. They care about each other a lot and want to share in their joy with each other. They are definitely going to make awesome Aurors! Harry does doubt himself, it's part of his charm. I love Remus just turning on dad mode. Neville is definitely a gentleman and the support he shows Hannah while she's trying to figure things out about her family is so sweet. Hannah is definitely not with him for his money and he knows it. Yes, Lavender and Padma are cute and yes, it is hard to get into the healing academy so Padma has a lot of work to do. Ha, more about how Harry knocked his curtains down while having sex with Ginny? They just got a little excited in the small bed lol. Harry and Ginny definitely are brave around each other and definitely very randy towards each other. They definitely want to have sex in every place they can lol. I think Pansy just hates Harry, but in general, also Gryffindors. She's that kind of person. I think Blaise is good at figuring things out. He's very intelligent, but he doesn't know more. I'm glad you're enjoying Pansy and Greg as parents. Thank you very much for such a great review! To BadWolfKris: Thank you! To reginaphalange: No sudden heart attacks… yet 😉 Thank you! To katelyn453: Thank you! To majosaulo00: Thank you!
My posting schedule: Weekly.
Thanks to Dusk for her amazing editing skills.
As always, thank you very much for reading and please, please review!
Your reviews give me life! They give me inspiration! And they make me want to keep writing for more than just myself! Thank you for all of your continued support!
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR:
The One With the Last Hurrah
When Ginny appeared for her final tryout with the PQTC, she was as ready as ever. She knew that no matter what happened today, she had made it this far, and it was something to be proud of. Two of them weren't going to make it today, and as nerve wracking as that was, Ginny also knew with absolute certainty that she wasn't part of the two.
Positivity had nothing to do with it. She just knew that she was going to make it. She'd woken up feeling that power and confidence and was ready to kill it today.
When Amy Hunt called her name as part of the three chosen, she jumped up and down in excitement. Then, when Gwenog Jones approached her with a wide smile, she was trembling with elation.
"That was some damn impressive flying out there," Gwenog said. "But you already knew that. The PQTC is more than just a training camp, Weasley, it's the place that will break you down and make you cry before it builds you back up. Are you ready for that?"
"Yes," Ginny said. "I was born ready."
Gwenog's lips twitched. "I think you were. The camp is three weeks this summer. You'll be living at the camp and rooming with the other trainees. We'll send more information your way in June about start dates and what you'll need to bring with you. The camp isn't just for whipping you into shape, Weasley, but it's to prepare you for the reserves and hopefully to find you a spot on a professional team."
Ginny nodded, hoping that Jones couldn't see her heart beating out of her chest in excitement. "I'll be ready."
"Good," Gwenog said. "Because I have my eye on you, Weasley. I think that you're exactly the kind of new blood we need and between you and me, Miller and I are looking for a reserve Chaser come the new season. Don't let me down."
Ginny watched her walk away and she fist bumped the air, unable to keep the huge grin off of her face.
She found Harry waiting for her in the Gryffindor common room and she ran into his arms, kissing him deeply.
"You did it!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide. "I knew it! You're amazing, Gin!"
"I did it," she said, laughing when he swept her up into his arms again. "Oh, gods, Harry! I just knew it! When I got there and I saw everyone, I just knew that I would make the top three!"
Harry pressed his lips to her forehead. "I never had a doubt."
Ginny hugged him tight, locking her legs around his waist as he held her in his arms. "You are the absolute best and most supportive boyfriend in the history of the world and I adore you!"
Harry's hands sat on her hips as he leaned in to rub his nose with hers. "I adore you more."
Ron, who had just walked into the common room, gave them a disgusted look. "Excuse me while I go vomit over that ridiculous amount of cuteness. Can you two stop making googley-eyes at each other for two bloody seconds?"
"No," Harry said before he pressed his lips to Ginny's.
Ron groaned. "Seriously! I'd like to see my best mate sometimes!" When they kept on kissing, he groaned again. "Oh, get a bloody room already!"
Harry tore his lips away from Ginny's to grin widely at her. "Now, there's an idea."
He turned to carry her up the stairs to the boys' dormitory and she laughed.
"Oi!" Ron exclaimed. "I was talking to you two!"
"Sorry, Ron," Ginny called out. "Harry and I need to have a private chat."
Ron scowled.
Harry ran up the stairs, pushing open the door to his dorm, pleased to find it empty as he carted her over to his bed. He dropped her down onto the four poster and she scrambled up to her knees, tugging him by his shirt down onto the bed with her. Harry pulled the curtains closed around them, his hands sliding up her sides, brushing her breasts.
"I'm so bloody proud of you, Gin. I can't wait to see you in this training camp. You're going to kick arse. I know it," he said, kissing his way down her neck.
When he pinned her to the bed, his hands pulled her shirt over her head. He did a quick privacy and silencing charm before they attacked each other, clothes flying off. When Harry rolled her over, pulling her up to her knees and rubbed himself against her arse, she groaned.
He slid his hand up her naked back, pushing her down into the bed a little while his other hand cupped her arse. He slid his hand lower, his fingers finding her and she moaned his name.
"Gods, I love that you're always so wet for me," he growled.
Then he was inside of her and Ginny's hands fisted into the duvet, her hips rocking back to meet him. When his hand came around, sliding low to tease her, her breath hitched. Then he was pulling her up, her back resting against his chest while he cupped a breast with one hand, teasing her nipple, while the other rubbed her clit, his thrusts getting faster. Ginny's head fell back against his shoulder and when she came, he groaned in her ear and followed her over the edge.
They collapsed on the bed, both breathless, their fingers twining together. Ginny snuggled into his side, smiling when he kissed her forehead and thought, she was going to be attending the Premier Quidditch Training Camp this summer. It was her dream and she was doing it and she had the most incredible and supportive man by her side.
"I love you, Harry," she whispered, pressing her lips to his sweaty chest.
Harry kissed her forehead again. "Gin? When you're famous, I want the first autograph."
She chuckled, her hand sliding over his firm abs to play with the little hairs above his groin. "Promise."
His fingers teased her right nipple, those green eyes locked on hers. "I need another few minutes, max, and then I'm going to take you again."
"Oh, you are, are you?" she teased, arching under his hand when he slid it down her abs and between her legs to touch her.
"Oh, I am," he replied. "But this time you're going to be on top."
Ginny's eyes darkened as desire shot through her. She straddled him as her brown eyes locked on his. "You are mine, Potter."
Harry slid his hands up her thighs. "Completely."
Then he sat up and crushed his lips to hers. Ginny knew in that moment that there was nowhere else on earth she'd rather be than here, with this man, for now, and for always.
~ ASC ~
Ginny was looking forward to her evening. It had been much too long since any of the witches had taken the time to have a girls night and to just relax and enjoy themselves. After the afternoon that she had and the excitement of earning a top three spot in the PQTC, she needed a night with her girls to unwind. Especially because she and Harry had spent the rest of the afternoon in his bed. Multiple orgasms always helped a girl feel much more relaxed, but now she wanted to spend time with her girlfriends.
Between the stress of the PQTC, trying to stay caught up on her Compass articles, catching up on schoolwork, and spending as much time as humanly possible shagging her boyfriend, Ginny needed some quality girl time. It was why she had told Harry that she wanted to spend the evening with Hermione and Luna.
"That sounds good," Harry said. "Plus Seamus and Dean have decided that we're having a last hurrah tonight. Seamus figures that if we don't do it tonight, before the professors start drilling us with NEWTs prep, we'll never have one and according to Seamus, we need a gents night to be truly ready for our NEWTs in two weeks."
"Seamus would insist on that. So, a game of 'Would You Rather,' then?" Ginny teased.
"Most likely," Harry said with a grimace as they finished getting dressed. "With lots of whiskey. But, it will be nice to have a blokes night. It's been a while."
"Exactly why I need to have a witches night," Ginny said. "Definitely need some girl talk."
She kissed him quickly before heading down to her dorm to shower and change for dinner. While she washed her hair, she realized with a jolt that she couldn't really remember the last time she'd showered in her own dorm. If she wasn't using the showers in the Gryffindor change rooms, it seemed that she and Harry were together in the prefect's bathroom or in the seventh year boys' dorm. It almost felt odd to be in her own dormitory. She braided her hair in a thick French braid down her back before changing into comfortable dark green leggings and one of Harry's old jumpers. She added a touch of mascara before she headed down to the Great Hall for dinner.
The last person she expected to see sitting at the Gryffindor table next to her boyfriend was Theo. She sat on Harry's other side, reaching around her boyfriend to poke Theo in the hip.
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
"Well, I know this may come as a shock to you, chick, but I go to school here."
"Haha," Ginny said, rolling her eyes. "It's Saturday night! Where's Sebastian?"
"He had to go to Paris for this work conference thing with the French Ministry this morning and then since he was in France, he was heading to his sister's to talk about their parents' anniversary," Theo said.
"You didn't want to go meet his sister?" Ginny asked.
Theo bit his lip. "He invited me to come, but it was last minute and well, his sister didn't know and… Selene seems intimidating so, I voted to wait. Her thirtieth birthday is in two weeks and she and her family are supposed to be coming to Ireland. Bas already mentioned that I'm invited to go over there and meet his parents and… no, I'm not ready yet. So, I came back to school."
Harry frowned. "What's wrong with meeting Bas' parents? He came to Easter and met everyone and Ginny's brothers basically threatened him."
"They what?" Ginny exclaimed.
"Not like that," Harry said. "They were just, you know, making sure he's good enough for Theo."
Theo's eyes lit up. "They did? Really?"
"I told them that Sebastian seems like a nice bloke and that he makes you happy," Harry said.
Theo threw his arms around Harry, hugging him tightly. "Aww!"
Ginny's lips curved. "So, why are you nervous about meeting Bas' family?"
Theo let out a slow breath. "Well, I met Soraya, right? But it was an accident and she kind of rocks. Like, we were totally kindred spirits. You'd love her, chick! But Selene is older and seems way more intense. Plus, Bas speaks so highly of his parents."
"But, didn't you meet Finn's whole family?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Theo said. "But… I don't know… this feels different. I mean, Finn's family is great and I like Tiernan and Fiadh and the others were nice. His parents were very kind, but they were more… I don't want to say aloof, because they were really nice, but Finn didn't talk about them a whole lot. Bas talks about his parents and he has all of these great memories and he's really close with them and… oh, Salazar, I'm terrified they won't like me!"
Ginny reached over to squeeze his hand. "Everyone loves you and if they don't, you'll win them over in minutes."
"That's true," Theo replied, worrying his bottom lip. "Well, when Selene is down for her birthday, I'll meet them all then. Unless I panic and come down with some illness."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "You're going or I'll snitch and tell Sebastian."
Theo's mouth dropped open. "You wouldn't!"
"I would," she declared.
Harry chuckled. "Go meet his family in a few weeks. The more you put it off, the more you'll overthink it."
"Easy for you two to say, you've been in love since you were five and therefore already knew each other's families," Theo protested. "You had an unfair advantage!"
Ginny shrugged. "Too bad."
Theo scowled and reached for the pumpkin juice on the table. "So, what are you two doing tonight? Other than each other."
"Haha," Harry said.
"We already celebrated this afternoon," Ginny said, winking at Harry. "I made it into the top three."
"No way!" Theo exclaimed, his eyes widening. "When you didn't immediately say anything, I didn't want to ask and impose, but oh my gods, I'm so excited! I knew you would do it! You've been practicing so hard!"
Ginny's smile widened. "Thank you. I'm really excited and so happy!"
"She's amazing," Harry said. "I had no doubts."
"And he's the absolute best and most supportive boyfriend ever," Ginny said, kissing her boyfriend's cheek.
"Aren't you two done snogging yet?" Ron demanded, taking the seat across from Harry. "Every time I turn around, there you are, locking lips again."
"I like his lips," Ginny said.
Ron rolled his eyes. "No one wants to see you two snog all the time."
"We can leave," Ginny said. "I'm sure there's somewhere private we can go."
"No," Ron exclaimed. "It's gent's night. You had Harry all afternoon, now it's my turn."
"She really did," Harry said, biting his bottom lip. "She had me a lot."
"Harry!" Theo exclaimed. "You naughty boy! Tell me more."
Harry blushed and turned to the jacket potatoes on his plate instead.
"Besides, Hermione said that you and Luna were having girls tonight," Ron said. "Whatever that is!"
"Oooh, girl talk!" Theo exclaimed, turning to look over at Ginny. "Can we talk about our men?"
"How come Theo gets to stay for girls' night?" Ron protested as he scooped up a huge chunk of his jacket potatoes onto his fork. "Hermione tells me that I have to leave tonight because Ginny and Luna are coming over to drink wine, but Theo gets to stay?"
"He likes girl talk," Ginny said.
"I could like girl talk," Ron grumbled.
"Go hang out with your boyfriend at gent's night and leave the girl talk to us," Ginny teased.
"Hey!" Theo said, linking his arm with Harry's and resting his head on his shoulder. "He's my boyfriend, not Ron's."
"You have a boyfriend," Harry protested, looking over at Theo in amusement.
"So? If anyone is going to be your boyfriend, I claim dibs," Theo said, fluttering his lashes at him until he laughed.
"But you have a boyfriend," Ron whined. "I don't have a boyfriend. Harry's mine."
"I'm Ginny's boyfriend. Why are you two being weird?" Harry complained, looking at his girlfriend in bewilderment.
Theo kissed his cheek nosily. "Because you're so damn cute and we all want a piece."
Harry reached for Ginny and tugged her into his arms. "Save me!"
Ginny laughed and hugged him. "Aww, poor baby." She kissed his cheek. "You and Ron should take Theo with you anyway."
Theo pouted. "But I like girl talk! I want to know more about all of the naughty stuff you and Harry have been doing! We can talk places, positions, more about his big, beautiful cock… I'm great at girl talk!"
"Er, I don't want to know any of that," Ron admitted.
Harry draped an arm over Theo's shoulders. "Yeah, no. You can come with us so I can keep an eye on you instead. With NEWTS starting in two weeks, Seamus decided to make tonight the last hurrah for the Gryffindor boys and since you're the only Slytherin left in your dorm, you're unofficially a Gryffindor tonight."
Theo's smile widened. "Really? What's guy talk? Will there be drinks and talking about sex?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "Trust me, there will be drinks. As to the rest, we'll see how the night progresses and no, I'm not telling you anything about me and Ginny."
Theo pouted. "Where's the fun in that? Can you at least be naked again? I liked drunk naked Harry from the summer who showed us his cock."
Harry blanched. "That was… I'm not going to drink that much again."
Ron snorted. "Yes, you will. It's our last hurrah, as you said. Then we'll be studying and doing finals and getting ready for the end of our Hogwarts era days. We need this."
Theo grinned. "Okay, I'm in. But, chick, can we talk about your sex life later?"
"No," Harry growled. "Merlin, talk about your own sex life!"
Theo wiggled his eyebrows. "Don't worry, I do. Bas does this thing with his tongue that's just mind blowing! I'm telling you, being rimmed by Sebastian Kane is a bloody experience! Did I tell you how he —"
"—Stop, please," Harry grimaced. "I don't want to know!"
Theo pouted, his eyes twinkling. "Plonker."
By the time they finished dinner, Ginny was anxious to meet Hermione and Luna. Hermione had arrived to dinner late because two of the fifth year Hufflepuff prefects had gotten into a shouting match with each other and refused to round together. Apparently it had taken her almost thirty minutes to calm them down and get them to realize that they needed to work together. They had grudgingly agreed and Hermione promised to try to keep their shifts together to a minimum as much as she could. But it had taken much longer than she'd anticipated.
Ginny snuck into the kitchens to get some sweets from the house elves before making her way up to the Head dormitory and letting herself into the portrait hole. She watched her brother kiss Hermione quickly before he tucked a bottle of Firewhiskey under his arm and ducked out of the portrait hole.
"I have a feeling that there's going to be more alcohol than is wise in the boys' dorm tonight," Ginny said. "Theo mentioned something about bringing tequila and scotch."
"Ron's Head Boy, I'm sure that he'll be responsible," Hermione said.
Ginny bit back a laugh. She had a feeling that Ron being responsible was definitely not going to be the course of action for the evening, but she'd let Hermione believe that if it made her feel better. She smiled warmly at Luna when she came through the portrait hole with two bottles of white wine.
"Luna!"
She hugged her friend tight and accepted the wine.
"Ginny, I am so happy to hear your news!" Luna exclaimed. "It's so nice to see things working out for those who deserve it!"
"It is kind of brilliant," Hermione agreed. "Ginny will be spending her summer at the Quidditch camp and I'll be starting work in the DRCMC."
Luna smiled. "I think that's wonderful news for the both of you. I've decided to take a trip this summer."
"With your dad?" Ginny asked, making herself comfortable on the sofa and pouring them each a glass of white wine with the glasses that Hermione passed her from the little kitchen nook.
Luna shook her head, sitting down next to Ginny. "No. I think that I might go alone. Daddy and I are still working out the details."
"Alone?" Hermione said in surprise. "Aren't you worried to travel by yourself? Where are you thinking of going?"
"To Canada," Luna said. "Daddy's been interviewing the Canadian magizoologists who have come to England to assist the Ministry and they've had terribly fascinating stories about the North American schools of magic and some of the magical creatures there. I think that I'd like to go out and explore a bit and of course I'll write articles for Daddy's magazine. It's just a thought for now and I don't know which provinces or territories I would start in. It's a very big country."
"Wow," Ginny said. "That sounds amazing and scary and awesome all rolled into one."
Luna ran her finger over the rim of her wine glass. "It does, doesn't it? I think it will be lovely."
Hermione stretched out on the floor, putting a throw pillow under her head. "Ron and I are going to find a flat together."
"Oh, that's wonderful," Luna said. "I always thought that you two were well suited."
Hermione nodded. "I'm excited, but a little scared as well. Moving in with one's boyfriend is another thing, isn't it?"
"You live together now," Luna pointed out.
"Yes," Hermione replied. "But it's still different, don't you think? Here, we still go down to meals with the school and I don't know, it's just different. Having our own place would be something else entirely."
Ginny shrugged. "I don't know. I can't wait to move in with Harry. I mean, we decided to wait until next year, when I'm done school, but… I can't wait. I love that house and it already feels like home. I want to make it a real home for the both of us."
"How was your weekend away with him?" Luna asked. "I never asked."
"Perfect," Ginny said, a big smile forming on her face. "We spent the whole weekend in bed or making love. I never want to stop touching him, is that weird? Like by now, shouldn't we stop wanting each other at every turn?"
"I hope not," Hermione said. "I mean, of course it weans a little after the first few months of discovery, but I love finding new ways to drive Ron mad with lust for me."
"Other than just wearing a skirt then," Luna said, making Hermione's cheeks flush.
"Haha. How's Channing?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, we broke up a few weeks ago," Luna said, taking a sip of her wine. "He was lovely and the sex was very nice, but we really didn't suit. I mostly kept him around because I liked the orgasms."
"Luna!" Ginny said, laughing.
Luna shrugged. "I have nothing to hide. He was good with his fingers, but eventually that's not enough, is it? After all, I'm good with my fingers too, so I don't really need him."
Ginny and Hermione exchanged a look of amusement before Ginny dug out the facial masks she'd brought for them to use. Soon the three of them had their hair pinned away from their faces, and blue masks rubbed into their skin.
Hermione poured herself a second glass of wine. "So, Ginny, are you going to share more about your sex life now that you and Harry are finally having sex?"
"Listen to you with your finally!" Ginny said with a laugh. "We waited until the right moment, it wasn't like we were just putting it off."
"I didn't say you were," Hermione said. "I'm just interested in how it's going. We all know that you two could barely keep your hands off of each other before and according to Ron, you were acting disgustingly in love earlier today."
Ginny blushed. "Harry was excited for me and well… what can I say? We like to show our affections through actions."
"So, pretty spectacular I'd say," Luna teased. "Have you not noticed, Hermione, that Ginny always has an air of pure satisfaction around her? Multiple orgasms a day would certainly make me very happy."
"Multiple a day!" Hermione exclaimed.
Ginny bit her lip. "Is that a bad thing?"
"No," Hermione said. "It's a very good thing! Don't get me wrong, Ron is very, very good at making sure that I'm well satisfied, but multiple every day? I think he might have a point about you two being rabbits."
Ginny only smirked and took a drink.
"Is it true that you two had sex in the Owlery?" Luna asked
"What?" Ginny exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Where did you hear that?"
"Su Li mentioned it. According to her, Susan Bones and Kevin Entwhistle caught you two going at it in the Owlery last week."
"That's a lie," Ginny said. "We went up to see Hedwig and to bring her a treat. We were snogging by the door when they came up."
"With your clothes on?" Luna asked.
"Yes!" Ginny exclaimed, blushing. "Harry's hands might have been under my shirt, but we were fully clothed!"
Hermione chuckled. "It's funny how fast a rumour starts around this place. So, you two haven't done it in the Owlery then?"
"No," Ginny insisted, her eyes twinkling. "But we might have done it in the alcove outside of the Owlery, you know the one on the other side of the stairs…"
Luna tucked her tongue in cheek, her eyes twinkling. "On that wide ledge by the window? Oh, yes, Channing got me off there once. Excellent spot."
Ginny nodded, her cheeks flushing. "We originally stopped there to avoid having to deal with Bones and Entwhistle, who were snogging quite obnoxiously by the door to the Owlry, but one thing led to another and… let's just say that the butt imprint on the glass belongs to Harry."
Luna laughed as she sipped her wine. "Well worth checking out I'm sure. Your turn, Hermione."
"My turn for what?"
"Where have you and Ron shagged?"
"I'm Head Girl and he's the Head Boy! We wouldn't be caught sneaking around the castle when we have this little dormitory to ourselves," Hermione protested.
Ginny raised an eyebrow. "I think she doth protest too much."
Luna chuckled. "I caught that myself."
Hermione sat up, reaching for the bowl of chocolate covered blueberries. "I don't know what you mean."
"They do have their own office," Luna said. "Admit it, Hermione, you and Ron have done it in the Heads' office, haven't you?"
Hermione bit her bottom lip. "Just once. Okay, twice, but once was on the desk and the other was against the door. The oral didn't count."
Luna snickered. "It definitely counts."
Ginny grinned and leaned back on her elbows. "I guess I just never realized how incredible it is. I mean, how do we go about our whole lives never knowing about this incredible thing and then one day we're experiencing the greatest pleasure of our lives? Like I thought it was amazing before. The way he touched me and… his hands and Merlin, his tongue is just… just thinking about it makes me want him. Like I cannot keep my hands off of Harry and I am not exaggerating. Sometimes I sit in class and just think of places where we can sneak off to and have sex. I want him all the bloody time!"
Luna brought her wine to her lips. "Have you made a list?"
"A list?"
"Yes," Luna said. "You know, a list of all of the places that you want to do it. The castle has all sorts of places to try out."
Ginny blushed. "I might have a list of the places that we've tried out so far."
"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed. "I cannot believe that the two of you haven't been caught!"
Ginny shrugged. "We're careful. Plus, Harry has the map, which helps, and we've used his Invisibility Cloak a few times."
Luna's eyes widened. "Well, that does make things more interesting."
Ginny reached for her wine. "It really, really does."
"Okay," Luna said, reaching for some of the sweets in the bowl. "Tell us the truth, how many orgasms do you have in a day?"
Ginny smirked, licking her bottom lip. "There's not a set number! It's not like every day Harry gives me a set number of orgasms. We just… things happen!"
Hermione chuckled. "Things happen? Ron and I make love almost every day. I'm a fan of the lazy morning sex variety."
"Yes," Ginny agreed. "Harry likes to wake me with his tongue."
Luna's eyebrows rose. "Well, well, well, Harry certainly knows how to be a good boyfriend. So that's one…"
Ginny shrugged, sipping her wine. "Sometimes two before we go out for our run and then we usually shower together."
"Just shower?"
Ginny blushed. "I told you, we can't keep our hands off of each other."
Luna popped a chocolate covered blueberry in her mouth. "Okay, answer me this. Today, how many orgasms have you had?"
Ginny pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. She was starting to feel like they were judging her a little. So what if Harry had woken her with his tongue that morning? Then they'd gone for a run and to warmup before her final tryout for the PQTC. And sure, he'd gone down on her again in the shower and she'd definitely come again when he took her against the wall, but how could she not when he filled her like that? When he looked at her with such desire and love and need in his eyes… Then of course after her tryout they'd gone up to his dorm and he'd attacked her like a starving man and she'd bloody loved it.
"Ginny?"
Ginny reached for a sweet from the bowl. "Five."
Hermione's mouth dropped open as Luna laughed. "You lucky bitch!"
"Hermione Granger!" Ginny exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Ron's had a terrible influence on you!"
"No, I think he's had a great influence on her," Luna said. "But she does have it right, you are a lucky bitch."
Ginny took big gulp of wine, a satisfied grin on her face and thought this was definitely the kind of night she needed.
~ ASC ~
Theo woke slowly, his head pounding. He started to open one eye, but it made his head pound even more. He shifted in the comfortable bed and finally let his eyes open as sunlight washed over him.
Merlin, why was it so fucking bright?
He squinted, staring at the red and gold blankets that he was wrapped in. Right… he was in the Gryffindor dorm.
Suddenly the night started coming back to him.
Seamus had wanted to have a gent's night for a last hurrah. He'd claimed that it had been too long and that it needed to be done before they became too busy with NEWTs and preparation for the future. Harry had invited Theo to join them. He rolled over in the bed, eyes looking up at the wooden ceiling of the four poster and thought that he was definitely in Harry's bed.
A soft moan echoed across the room before it turned into a rather loud and obnoxious slurping sound. Theo pushed the curtains open and was about to make a comment when he heard Neville's voice.
"Fucking silencing charm, Finnigan! No one wants to hear you sucking off Dean!"
He heard laughter before Dean's deep voice chuckled. "Sorry, Neville. It's actually me this time and I'll try to suck off Seamus a bit quieter."
Neville swore and Dean chuckled again before Seamus said the silencing charm. Theo snuggled into the pillow under his head, his eyes meeting Neville's from across the room in amusement.
"That happen a lot?"
"Considering that they've been basically doing each other for five years, way more than it should," Neville said, pulling the blankets back up to his chin.
Theo sat up, stretching his arms up over his head. He felt like he could sleep more, but he also wasn't in his own bed and felt a bit disoriented. He started to pull the blankets off before he realized that he was naked. Completely. He frowned for a moment.
Why was he naked?
He had a vague memory of Seamus offering him a pair of pyjama pants since the other Gryffindors were all too tall, but had he ever actually put them on?
"Strip poker," Neville said, seeing Theo's confusion. "Your idea."
"Right," he said as the night before continued to come back to him in flashes.
"It's your fault," Neville told him, sitting up. "You told Seamus that Jameson was for amateurs and you opened a bottle of eighteen-year-old-Glenfiddich."
Theo licked his dry lips. "Well, I brought it and no one was drinking it."
"Well, the scotch is gone now," Neville told him. "And so is the Jameson… and the bloody tequila. Not to mention the Firewhiskey. Gah, my head hurts."
Theo thought his mouth rather tasted like it was full of giant cotton balls himself. The night was returning in full focus now. They had all toasted to a gent's night with a glass of Jameson whisky before Seamus had voted that the night had to begin with a round of 'Would You Rather?' as apparently it was a Gryffindor tradition. Seamus only had a third of the bottle of whisky left when he opened it for the night so Theo had shown up with two bottles of scotch and a bottle of tequila to make up for it. Ron had brought half a bottle of Firewhiskey that he'd apparently confiscated from some fifth years. Talk had turned to the girls having a witch's night that involved wine and mud masks and Ron raised his eyebrows.
"What are mud masks for anyway?" Ron exclaimed. "Why are girls always rubbing mud on their faces? Sounds stupid to me."
"It helps cleanse your skin and refine your pores," Theo said. "It's quite lovely."
Harry smacked his lips together as he reached for the crisps on Ron's lap. "It's lovely? Putting mud on your face? Sounds weird."
Theo nodded. "It is. I have some. Want to try it?"
Harry wrinkled his nose. "It's for witches."
"Not true," Theo interjected. "It's to make your skin soft. You'll love it!"
"I'm in!" Seamus exclaimed. "Let's beautify, bitches!"
Ten minutes later, Theo had given everyone their own tub of the seaweed, almond, and aloe vera mask that Ginny had given him as part of his Christmas gift. He'd summoned it from his trunk in the Slytherin common room, wondering if anyone had been curious about this bag of face masks flying through the castle. He showed everyone how to take a glob and rub it into their skin. Harry was squinting without his glasses, looking at the mud on his fingers in bewilderment. Theo started to go help him, but Ron beat him to it. He leaned down to paint Harry's face and when Harry winced, Ron grabbed his chin and straddled him.
"Stay still. Let me even it out."
Harry grimaced but held still as Ron began to paint Harry's face; gently, spreading it over his stubble beard and covering his forehead and cheeks in a nice, even spread.
"There," Ron said. "Now you will be beautified! It's all even. Is it even on me?"
Harry squinted and leaned his face closer to Ron's, carefully spreading the mask across his face. "Looks okay to me."
"You two are adorable," Theo teased.
Ron held up his muddy fingers. "Now what?"
Theo went over to clean off Ron's hands and then Harry's. "Now, we leave it on for ten minutes and let it detox us, cleanse our pores, and soften our skin."
Ron climbed off of Harry's lap and grabbed a bag of salt and vinegar crisps, passing them to Harry who took a handful. "Wicked! It feels funny."
"Stop wrinkling your nose! You need to let it settle!" Theo exclaimed.
Harry leaned back on his hands. "Can I put my glasses on? I can't see."
"No," Theo said. "After."
Seamus shrugged. "I like being pretty. Pour me some more whisky while my mask beautifies me!"
Dean shook his head. "This might have been a bad idea, Theo. We've created a monster."
They veered off into 'two truths and a lie' before Theo had suggested a little strip poker as they polished off the bottle of Jameson. They scrubbed the masks off and Seamus stroked Dean's cheeks in amazement.
"Wow, it's like super soft! Babe, your cheeks feel like I'm stroking silk. Feel mine!"
Dean ran his fingers down Seamus' cheeks. "Seriously soft. Okay, I take it back. That stuff's awesome! Witches are bloody brilliant."
"I wanna feel!" Ron bellowed, cupping Harry's surprised cheeks in his hands. "Oooh, nice. You feel!" He straddled Harry again before he grabbed Harry's hands and placed them on either side of his face.
"Soft," Harry agreed. "It does feel like silk."
Ron leaned forward and rubbed his cheek against Harry's. "So soft. Even your whiskers are soft."
"It's definitely as soft as Dean's cock, like warm velvet," Seamus said.
Harry made a face at that as Ron's hands returned to Harry's cheeks in amazement.
Theo chuckled. "Good to know. I take care of my skin so I can guarantee you that my whole body is that soft — especially my cock."
"I need to get me some of that stuff," Seamus said, making Dean laugh.
When Ron made no move to stop touching Harry's cheeks, Harry shoved him off. He bent to grab his glasses from the floor and pushed them on his face. Ron laughed as he sat next to Harry and they clinked their glasses together as they took another drink. Then Ron opened another bag of sour cream and onion crisps (Theo had no idea where he'd gotten so many of them from) and Harry immediately grabbed a handful to munch on.
Neville and Dean exchanged an amused look before they set up the cards for poker. Neville won, a hundred Galleons if Theo remembered correctly.
They had all been down to just their boxers at the end, except for Dean who'd been completely starkers, when Neville had cleaned house.
"Fuck, Neville, who knew that you could bluff so well?" Seamus demanded.
"It's his innocent face," Ron said, grabbing more crisps. "No one expects it."
"Here, here!" Harry cheered, holding up his drink.
"New game!" Theo declared. "And we're opening the second bottle of Glennfiddich!"
Seamus eagerly poured them all glasses of the scotch as Theo spoke.
"Let's do a quick ten question game in teams to see how much we really know about each other. We can do… Seamus and Dean on one team and —"
Harry put his arm around Ron's shoulders. "I want Ron!"
Ron's arm wrapped around Harry as they drunkenly clung together, clinking their glasses and taking another drink.
Theo chuckled. "Sure. Harry and Ron on the other. Neville and I will judge."
"Thank Merlin," Neville said. "Judging is way more fun."
"Ten questions!" Seamus bellowed. "You have five seconds to answer or we move onto the next one. Whatever team gets the most out of twenty, that's ten each — wins."
"What do we win?" Ron asked, scratching his chest.
"Er… I'll open the tequila!" Theo suggested, pointing to the bottle of Patrón he'd brought along.
Everyone agreed.
Theo and Neville came up with questions for all of them and they wrote down answers without showing their partner before Theo and Neville collected them. Theo settled himself cross legged on Harry's bed in just his green silk boxers, his glass of scotch in one hand.
"All right, Ron and Harry versus Seamus and Dean. Who knows who better?" Theo said, grinning. "This is going to be so fun!"
"Please, I shag this bloke. We know everything about each other," Seamus insisted, kissing his boyfriend's cheek noisily.
Harry snorted. "I've known Ron for twelve bloody years!"
"Not intimately!" Seamus exclaimed, reaching out to squeeze Dean's hand. "Bring it on, Neville!"
Ron stuck his tongue out at Seamus. "Harry and I know everything!"
"Not everything," Dean insisted. "Seam and I are going to win." He leaned in and kissed his boyfriend's lips. "Don't blow this or I won't blow you later."
Seamus grinned widely. "I won't and yeah, you will."
Ron made a gagging noise. Seamus and Dean simultaneously made a rude hand gesture in his direction.
"All right, all right," Theo said, clearing his throat as Dean and Seamus kissed again. "Seamus, you're up first. Let's see if you get the answers the same as what Dean wrote down. Neville will tell you if it's wrong."
Seamus stood up. "I'm ready."
"Okay, Dean's favourite art medium?" Theo asked.
"Charcoal."
"His first experience?"
"My hand."
"Eh-oh!" Dean said, twining his fingers with Seamus'.
Theo snorted. "Nice. Favourite Quidditch team?"
"None. He loves football, West Ham."
"Like a wanker!" Ron bellowed.
"Shh," Harry hissed. "Let them try to do better than us."
Ron huffed, but stayed silent.
"Favourite colour?" Theo asked, ignoring Harry and Ron.
"Blue."
"First kiss?"
"Parvati Patil."
"Lost his virginity to?"
"Parvati Patil," Seamus said, grudgingly. "At least I gave you your first hand job and blow job or I might start to feel jealous!"
Dean rolled his eyes. "Just answer the questions, babe."
"Greatest fear?"
"A severed mummy hand because he's a big baby," Seamus answered, rolling his eyes at his boyfriend.
"Dude! They're bloody scary! It can move on it's own and strangle you and shit!" Dean shuddered. "Don't mock it!"
Seamus ignored him as Theo moved to the next question.
"Biggest ambition?"
"To paint a mural somewhere."
"And last one, if Dean was a vegetable, what would he be?"
Seamus' eyes widened. "What the fuck? I don't know? A zucchini?"
"Fuck no! I'd be a potato!" Dean exclaimed. "A potato! Because I'd want to lie around and shit, like a couch potato, get it?"
"What kind of stupid bloody question is that?" Seamus demanded, glaring at his boyfriend. "How am I supposed to know what bloody vegetable you want to be?"
"Obviously a good one because your boyfriend had an answer ready," Theo said, laughing as Seamus and Dean started bickering. "So, that's nine out of ten for Seamus. You're turn, Thomas."
Dean nodded and licked his lips. shooting his boyfriend a dirty look. "I got this. Go!"
"You better," Seamus muttered. "You owe me a blowie."
"What is Seamus' biggest fear?" Theo asked, trying not to laugh at their antics. He had no idea that Seamus and Dean were so entertaining.
"Banshee."
"Middle name?"
"Patrick."
"First kiss?"
"Lavender Brown."
"First sexual experience?"
"Giving me a hand job," Dean said as Seamus licked his lips and squeezed his boyfriend's knee.
"Thinks is his best feature?"
"His jokes."
"His actual best feature?"
"His laugh."
"Father's profession?"
"Pub owner."
"Name his immediate family."
"Fuck! Um… Mum's Maureen, dad's Paddy, two sisters Kathleen and Darcy with a niece named Saoirse, and Katie's husband is Jason."
"Favourite food?"
"Steak and kidney pie? No! Carrot cake! No… fuck…"
"Damn it, Dean! My favourite food is glazed ham!" Seamus shouted, slapping his boyfriend's arm.
"Favourite colour?"
"Green."
"I like fecking yellow!" Seamus shouted. "Come on, Dean!"
Dean shrugged and when Seamus went to complain some more, Dean grabbed his boyfriend's face and pulled him close for a long kiss. "Relax. There's no way that they will do better than us."
Seamus pouted and climbed into Dean's lap, his back resting against Dean's chest as he pulled his boyfriend's arms around him. "You better be right."
Dean kissed Seamus' cheek as he held him. "I am."
Neville snickered. "All right, that makes eight, so Harry and Ron have to beat seventeen out of twenty."
Ron crackled his knuckles. "Bring it."
Seamus shook his head, his hands covering Dean's where they rested over his stomach. "All right, Potter. Let's see how much you really know about our Head Boy. There's no way that you get ten out of ten!"
"Try me," Harry said, high-fiving Ron. "I know everything about this man."
Ron grinned and put his arm over Harry's shoulders. "Abso-fucking-lutely!"
Theo cleared his throat. "All right, who was Ron's first celebrity crush."
"He tells people its Chelsea Saddle from the witch band Charmed, but he really loves Celestina Warbeck."
"Piss off!" Ron exclaimed. "That's fucking true! She has great tits."
Seamus snorted.
Theo bit his lip. "Ron's worst fear."
"Spiders."
"Fucking-A, scary little bastards!" Ron agreed, shuddering before he took another drink.
"Colour of his eyes."
"Blue," Harry said.
"Favourite colour?" Theo asked.
"Orange."
Ron fist bumped the air.
"How many scars does he have?"
Harry grinned, turning to meet Ron's gaze. "Five, but if you count all of the intertwining lines from the brain, twenty-four."
Ron high-fived him.
"Innie or outie?" Theo asked.
"Innie."
"First sexual experience?"
"He received a poor hand job from Lavender Brown."
"Poor indeed," Ron bellowed. "I think I came out of sheer pity."
Harry snickered.
"Favourite food?" Theo asked, biting his bottom lip to stop himself from laughing.
"Trick question. He loves all food."
"Damn straight!" Ron bellowed.
"Most underrated physical feature?"
"His nose."
"Going for number ten, Harry," Theo said as Seamus' eyes narrowed, "how many freckles does it take to make Merlin?"
"Thirty-seven," Harry replied confidently.
"Fuck, yeah!" Ron exclaimed, high-fiving Harry before pulling him in for a one-armed hug.
"No way!" Theo shouted over their yelling. "There's no way that Harry knows the exact amount of freckles on Ron's arse! I call balderdash!"
Ron stood up, jumping onto the bed, turning around and dropping his boxers to his ankles. "Count them, Nott. I dare you."
Harry smirked. "He has thirty-seven to make up Merlin, but there's fifty-two over all."
Theo moved over to the bed to do just that and swore when he counted correctly. "Your friendship scares me."
"Ron's turn!" Neville declared. "Harry got ten out of ten."
"This is bollocks," Seamus muttered. "Dean, we can't let them beat us!"
"They won't," Dean murmured, kissing his boyfriend's cheek. "Ron still has to go."
Theo grinned. "You ready, Ron?"
"I was born ready!" Ron said, yanking his boxers back up and sitting next to Harry again. "Prepare to be crushed, Finnigan!"
"Okay, Ron… how many scars does Harry have?" Theo asked.
"Thirteen," Ron declared. "But mine are sexier than his."
Harry rolled his eyes. "It's not a competition."
"I still win," Ron shot back.
Theo bit his lip. "Focus, Ron. Who was the first person to touch Harry's cock?"
"Sophie Roper."
"What?" Theo squealed. "How come I didn't know this?"
"Technically, she gave me a hand job over my jeans," Harry said.
"Still touched you," Ron insisted. "If you got a happy ending, it counts."
"True," Theo agreed. "Roper though? Really, Harry?"
"I was drunk," Harry said, his cheeks flushing.
Theo shook his head. "I can't believe that you kept this from me. My innocence is shattered. Does Ginny know?"
Ron snorted. "Please, those two know what the other had for breakfast six days ago. Trust me, she knows."
"True," Harry said, giving Ron a one armed hug again. "Get the rest right, okay, mate?"
"I will," Ron promised. "We're going to kill it. Perfect score! Next question, Theo!"
"First celebrity crush," Theo said.
"Lexie Longhorn."
"Exact number of colours in his tattoo?"
"Eight!" Ron shouted. "Nine if you count the green of his new one." He grabbed Harry's wrist and held it up. "This wanker actually tattooed my sister's name onto his body!"
Harry blushed, pulling his arm away. "Hey! I love her."
Ron shook his head. "Soppy wanker."
Theo snorted. "First kiss."
Ron rolled his eyes. "Ginny when he was five, then he had sloppy seconds with Cho Chang at thirteen."
Harry shot up two fingers and Ron grinned.
"When did he lose his virginity?" Theo asked.
"Valentine's day. Our boy's a late bloomer," Ron said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Harry elbowed him in response.
"Greatest ambition?"
"To not be famous."
Theo grinned, biting his bottom lip. "This is a good one. Tell us, Ron, is Harry's cock really bigger than Voldemort's?"
"Fuck yeah it is!" Ron said, high-fiving Harry again who fist bumped the air and finished off his drink.
"Okay, you two are now tie with Seamus and Dean," Neville said. "Three more questions to go."
"Bloody hell!" Seamus exclaimed.
Theo grinned, turning back to the questions in his hand. "If Harry had to choose between snogging Ron or Theo, who would he pick?"
"Me. I'm a fucking catch!" Ron exclaimed.
"Um, rude," Theo said.
Harry shrugged. "Sorry, mate. I have a thing for redheads."
Theo laughed. "Fair. All right, stupidest thing Harry's ever done?"
"Waited a whole year before snogging my sister," Ron declared, rolling his eyes.
"Which is also one of my biggest regrets," Harry replied. "In case you were wondering."
"Thanks," Theo said as Seamus groaned. "Okay, last question. Just how big is Harry's cock?"
Ron grinned. "Twen— there are some things that we can leave in private."
Harry high-fived him again. "Fucking-A!"
"Wait," Theo said, his gaze altering between Harry and Ron. "You actually know his exact measurements?"
Ron winked at Theo in response and stood up to pour himself drink, topping up Harry's as he went.
"How big?" Theo demanded. "Come on, Nev! Show me what Harry wrote!"
Neville shrugged. "Actually, Harry wrote 'there are some things that we can leave in private.'" He looked up at Harry and Ron and shook his head. "You two are scary."
Ron shrugged. "We're best mates. We take the time to know each other. Right, Harry?"
"Right," Harry agreed.
"And Seamus is just a sore loser! Who wants tequila!" Ron exclaimed.
Everyone cheered at that as Ron opened the bottle.
"No! No! No!" Seamus shouted. "That was bollocks! Bonus question! I demand a bonus question to prove these two idiots wrong!"
Ron held up his shot of tequila. "Bring it."
Seamus slapped his hands together. "All right… vegetables! I had a stupid bloody vegetable question so this one is for you. And you have to answer it at the exact same time. Right, Theo?"
"Right," Theo agreed. "All right… so, if Harry was a vegetable, what would he be? Ready? Three, two, go!"
"Cabbage!" Harry and Ron both shouted simultaneously before turning to hug each other in triumph.
"No!" Seamus bellowed. "Are you fucking kidding me? Why is Harry a bloody cabbage?"
Theo gave Seamus a guilty look. "That one might be my fault. I do say that Harry is a cabbage quite often."
"What the… why? What does that even bloody mean?" Seamus demanded, looking at Dean desperately for help.
Ron cupped Harry's face in his hands so tightly that his lips puckered. "Just look at him, Seamus! He's all cabbag-ey."
"That's not a real word," Dean protested.
Seamus grumbled. "And it makes no bloody sense." He exchanged a look with his boyfriend. "But it makes total bloody sense. Damn it! He is a bloody cabbage!"
"We win!" Ron exclaimed.
Harry attempted to move away from Ron's hands, but Ron only pulled him closer for another hug.
"Let's do something fun," Harry said, moving away from Ron to get his tequila shot.
"Hug more first," Ron insisted, tugging Harry back into his arms. "We're the best!"
Harry grinned and wrapped his arms around Ron.
"Aren't you two adorable?" Theo teased. "I'm starving. Is anyone else starving?"
"I could eat a hippogriff," Ron said, jumping out of Harry's arms. "Can we get food?"
Seamus snorted. "We can't go downstairs like this. We'll get in trouble."
"I'm the Head Boy," Ron said, puffing his chest out. "I can do what I want!" He tripped over a pile of clothes on the floor and spilt his tequila. "Whoops!"
"Dobby!" Harry said, jumping when the elf suddenly appeared in front of him. "Oh! Hi, Dobby."
The elf's large eyes carefully took in the intoxicated and half dressed young men around him before he turned to look at Harry.
"Hello, Harry Potter, Sir."
"We need food, Dobby," Harry said.
"Lots of food," Ron corrected. "Pizza. Pasta. Oooh, chicken!"
"Food to soak up the booze kind of food," Neville insisted.
Dobby nodded. "I will bring lots of food for Harry Potter and his Wheezy, Sir."
Dobby disappeared and Ron slung an arm around Harry's shoulders.
"Aww, I'm your Wheezy." He kissed Harry's cheek and Harry shoved him off.
"No, Ginny's my Wheezy, you're my other Wheezy. I mean, Weasley, I mean… fuck, I love you, man."
"I love you, too!"
They hugged again and Theo shook his head. "I think letting them drink together is not a good choice."
Neville stretched out on his bed. "I've said that before. If they both weren't head over heels in love with their witches, there might be cause for concern."
Theo raised an eyebrow. "Hey, Weasley? Since you know how big Harry is, any chance you've put it in your mouth?"
Ron made a rude hand gesture. "Fuck off, Nott! I don't like cock!"
"Your sister does," Harry said, making Seamus spit out his drink.
Ron glared at Harry before moving to lie down next to Neville. "Neville, Harry's being mean to me."
Neville sighed and pat Ron's back. "There, there."
Ten minutes later they were eating pizza, pasta, chicken, and for some reason mashed potatoes like they'd been starving for years. Dobby had provided them with six large pizzas and multiple platters of food and they were devouring it with more crisps.
"I'm tired of sitting around," Harry complained. "How come we're still in our drawers? I need clothes."
"I'm still naked," Dean said, shrugging, completely comfortable in his nakedness.
Seamus placed his hand over his boyfriend's cock. "You're so sexy. We should shag."
"Oi! You two step away from each other," Ron exclaimed, pointing at their friends. "There will no sexy times during gent's night!"
"I can think of lots of fun things to do while we're all naked," Theo supplied, wiggling his eyebrows.
"I'm not starkers!" Ron exclaimed.
Harry snorted. "Me neither. Got underwear on. I think." He looked down and grinned stupidly. "I do!"
"That can be easily removed," Theo teased.
Ron shoved his boxers down, using them like a slingshot to send them across the room. "I'm starkers now."
Harry laughed. "He just wants to show-off his arse."
Ron turned around and began to wiggle his hips, doing a booty shake. "We need music!"
Seamus turned on the wireless and Ron began to dance, shaking his arse proudly. Seamus moved to dance with him, wiggling around and jutting his hips.
Dean rolled his eyes. "I don't know who's more of a menace when drunk."
Theo chuckled. "Ron definitely has the better dance moves. Seamus looks like a drunken sailor."
Dean snorted. "Hate to break it to you, Theo, but Seamus dances like that sober."
"Harry, dance!" Ron insisted.
Harry stood up and grabbed Theo. "Whoa, the floor's moving!"
Theo chuckled. "I think that you're just a bit drunk, lover."
Harry moved towards Ron and almost tripped over Neville's trunk at the end of his bed. His hands grabbed at the rubber rings that were sitting there. They were slightly smaller than his hand.
"What are these for?" Harry asked.
"I use'em for planting trees," Neville said. "Like a guide."
"Oooh! Ring toss!" Ron exclaimed, abandoning Seamus and running towards Harry. He grabbed one in his hand and giggled. "We all got poles!"
Harry snickered.
"Drop your drawers, Harry!" Ron exclaimed. "I'll see if I can land the ring!"
Instead of answering, Harry chugged back the rest of his drink. Ron took matters into his own hands and pulled Harry's underwear down.
"Oi!" Harry said, holding his drink over his bits. "I only let one redhead take off my drawers!"
Ron wiggled his eyebrows. "Yeah, me."
Harry scowled and tried to pull his boxer briefs back up with one hand. "I don't wanna be naked."
"No, I need your pole for the ring toss!" Ron whined. "You can be not naked after."
Harry pouted and brought his drink to his forehead. "Am I naked? S'hot in here." He looked down and grinned stupidly. "Look, Ron, I got a big pole!"
"I feel like we should stop this train wreck," Neville said, leaning over to Theo. "But I also really want to see what happens next."
"Me too," Theo admitted. "Plus, they're both naked and this is really peng!"
Ron snickered and moved Harry's hand out of the way before he jumped back two steps and tossed a ring at his friend. Harry blinked when the ring bounced off of his cock before falling to the floor.
"Oops," Ron said, laughing. "Guess we gotta have stiffies first."
"I can help by rubbing out Harry!" Theo volunteered.
Harry shook his head. "Nuh-uh. Only Ginny gets to do that." He placed his hands on his body. "Where's my mirror? How come I got no pockets? I gotta call Ginny. GINNY!"
Ron lunged towards Harry and shoved his hand over his mouth. "No! No calling her! Gent's night, no witches allowed!"
"I thought you wanted a stiffy," Harry pouted. "You know I need your sister for that."
"TOO MUCH INFORMATION," Ron yelled.
Harry shrugged and sat down. "Facts are facts."
Ron crossed his arms in front of his chest. "The last thing I want to think of is what Ginny gets up to with Little Harry there."
Theo snorted. "Little Harry? Ron, clearly you jest! That thing is not little by any means! That anaconda needs it's own home! No, it's own mansion!"
Harry frowned. "S'not that big." He pulled his boxer briefs back into place and still placed a hand over his bits.
"It's massive," Theo insisted. "No — titanic! Bas, took me to see that Muggle film and titanic, like the Greek Titans, known for its enormous size, strength, and power. Or in your case, lover, known for its size, beauty, and power."
"Did you just name Harry's cock after a Muggle cruise ship?" Seamus asked, raising his eyebrow.
Theo grinned. "Well, according to Ginny, he certainly sinks it into place."
Dean choked on his tequila, his eyes watering. "Oh gods! I'm going to die."
Seamus smacked his boyfriend on the back. "That true, Harry? Are you a better captain of your ship?"
Theo laughed so hard that he almost fell off the bed. "Captain! Oh, Merlin, Seamus! He is the captain! He has the power to navigate and steer it away from icebergs!"
"People would die just to ride it once," Seamus added as Dean and Theo howled in laughter.
Harry scowled. "I hate all of you. S'not funny."
"Didn't that ship hit an iceberg and sink?" Dean asked.
Theo nodded. "It did."
Seamus slapped his leg. "Which makes Ginny the iceberg!"
"Because she totally wants to hit that!" Dean exclaimed, high-fiving his boyfriend.
"Did we not just say too much information?" Ron demanded. "I am in the room, you know!"
Theo was laughing so hard he was crying as Harry only stared at them, a frown on his face. "Aw, come on, lover! It's a compliment. None of us have such a cool name for our cocks."
"It's true," Seamus said. "I call mine Chubbs."
Dean grinned. "You're such a pillock."
Seamus kissed Dean. "You know I love my Fudge Lollipop."
"Seam!"
Theo wiped tears out from under his eyes. "Please tell me you didn't just come up with those names right now."
"No way, been using them for years," Seamus said as Dean shook his head.
Ron stared at Seamus, wide-eyed. "Wait, wait, wait! So every time I asked you what you wanted from the sweets stash and you told me that you wanted a Fudge Lollipop, you really meant Dean's cock?"
"Every. Single. Time," Seamus said, winking at Ron. "Plus it always has a creamy filling."
Ron made a rude hand gesture as Theo laughed so hard, no sound came out.
"Ron's needs a name!" Dean declared. "We have to make it official! Theo, what do you call yours?"
Theo took a second to catch his breath, taking a shot of tequila before he answered. "The Nobledore."
Seamus laughed. "Seriously? Is that a play on Theodore?"
Theo shrugged. "Yup, because it's always taking one for the team while I give amazing head. It seems fitting."
Seamus' laughter grew louder. "Oh, Merlin! This is the best conversation we've ever had! What about Weasley? What are we calling his willy?"
"Excuse me, my willy has a name already," Ron declared. "I like to call it the Keeper's Wand because it's strong, magical, and always finds its goal."
"Shouldn't it be the Chaser's Wand then?" Dean asked. "Because as a goalkeeper, you're really stopping people from scoring…"
Ron made a rude hand gesture. "Piss off, Thomas! You're just jealous because my name is cooler than yours!"
Dean grinned and pointed at Neville. "Whatever, Ron. You're up, Nev! You've been too quiet for this conversation!"
"Yeah, Nev, what's your name for Little Longbottom?" Seamus demanded.
Neville blushed. "I don't… erm… no one really names their knob, do they?"
"Clearly, we do!" Seamus exclaimed. "Its fun!"
"Longballs," Harry said, making everyone turn to him in surprise.
Neville turned even redder. "Well, I do have rather big… balls."
Theo pointed at Harry, a huge grin on his face. "See, Harry, it's fun! Much better than stupid names like the Chosen Cock which is a rumour I heard around school about the Titanic, for your information."
Harry flushed scarlet.
Ron wrinkled his nose. "Fine, calling it the Titanic is better than that. But I still don't want to imagine my best mate shagging my sister!"
"He does though," Seamus said, his eyes twinkling in laughter. "A lot. I thought Dean and I shagged a lot, but damn, Harry and Ginny need to take cold showers like five times a day. That iceberg certainly sinks his ship, but the damn Titanic keeps resurfacing for more."
Laughter followed that as more drinks were poured and Dean suggested they do another drinking game that involved who could make their cock spin like a hula hoop for the longest time. When Harry kept winning, they kept upping the stakes until Harry was standing on his bed, one foot on the end of the bed, and arms hanging from the top of the four poster. His attempt at balance was precarious at best, and when he toppled off of the bed onto the floor, everyone cheered.
Harry kept trying to find his boxers again and at one point had the sheet from his bed tied around his waist like a towel. Theo was positive that other stupid things had happened. He thought that he might have even taken a shot of tequila off of someone's body, but he wasn't entire sure as by this point, he was definitely too drunk to remember it (he had a sneaking suspicion it had been off of Ron's abs).
The sound of a camera flashing had Theo looking over at Neville again who merely pointed to the floor between the two beds bringing Theo back to the throbbing pain his skull.
Seamus and Dean had made it into Dean's bed at some point. Theo slept in Harry's bed and Neville in his own, but instead of someone sleeping in Seamus' empty four poster, Harry and Ron had passed out on the floor between Neville and Harry's beds.
Ron was lying facedown on a pile of blankets, completely naked. He was lightly snoring, his mouth half open and his red hair a tousled mess. Theo let his eyes travel down his toned freckled back and lovely freckled biceps before falling on his impressive freckled arse. Sunlight flickered through the window making the light red and gold hairs glow on his arse and legs. But it was the fact that Harry's cheek was pressed against Ron's naked arse that was picture worthy.
Harry was naked too, but sadly had a sheet tangled over his legs. The sheet did nothing to hide his obvious morning erection that was tenting the red sheet. He was half on his side, stretched out across the floor, his right cheek resting on Ron's naked arse as he slept with his crooked glasses half on his forehead.
Neville snapped another picture and Ron let out a loud snore. Harry groaned and stretched his arms up over his head, causing the sheet to shift lower, exposing his v lines and his happy trail. Harry let out a soft yawn, his bright green eyes blinking in the morning sun.
"Morning, Sunshine," Theo said in a sing-song voice.
Harry let out a soft moan and snuggled closer to Ron, his hand came up to slip under his makeshift pillow and brushed Ron's balls, making him jolt. He sat up quickly, his face heating.
"Er… Ron, why the fuck are you starkers?"
"Why the fuck are you grabbing my bollocks?" Ron demanded, blinking awake.
Harry's cheeks heated. "I didn't… I mean, I didn't…"
"Can I come down and snuggle?" Theo interrupted.
Harry scrambled to his feet, holding the sheet up around his waist, his face burning red. "We weren't snuggling."
"Sure looked like it to me," Theo said. "And I know that you two love to nap together already so it makes sense. Is Ron's arse a nice pillow, Harry? It certainly looked like you thought so."
"Damn straight it is," Ron answered, rolling over as he yawned and flashed the room.
Neville whipped a pillow at him and Ron carefully held it up over his bits.
"I slept aces. Anyone have any water?" Ron asked. "I'm parched."
Harry scowled and fixed his glasses, shoving them onto his face properly. "I need a shower."
Theo chuckled as Harry stormed off to the bathroom, still clutching the bedsheet. Ron followed with the pillow still over his bits.
"Neville, I think that we need to frame that photo and give it to Ginny and Hermione as Christmas gifts."
Neville laughed. "You read my mind."
Theo grinned and let the sheet drop as he stood up. "So, any idea where my clothes are?"
Neville yawned and pointed to the clothes in a pile by the playing cards and Theo wandered over to find his clothes. Overall, he thought that he'd had a pretty great night.
~ ASC ~
Harry looked up when the bathroom door opened behind him and his eyes met Ron's in the mirror. His cheeks heated in embarrassment again. Merlin, the last thing that he had expected was to wake up like that. He cleared his throat as he tried to get the words out to apologize.
"Ron… I'm sorry about… I didn't mean to touch… bloody hell…"
Ron turned the shower on and tossed the pillow onto the bathroom floor. "Nah, no worries, mate. We both know that it was an accident. You were admiring my cushy and sexy arse and slipped."
"It was," Harry said quickly. "A slip, I mean. I didn't even know that I was… bloody hell, my face was stuck to your arse cheek!"
Ron snorted. "Bet we looked a pretty sight!"
He reached in to turn the shower on just as the door to the bathroom opened and Ginny poked her head in.
"Bloody hell, Ginny! This is a boys' bathroom! We're starkers in here!" Ron exclaimed, grabbing the towel to cover himself.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "So? I've seen Harry naked loads of times and trust me, I'm not looking at you."
"You can't just barge into the boys' bathroom!" Ron bellowed. "Out!"
Ginny ignored him and winked at Harry. "I'll be down in the common room when you're dressed. Unless you want me to wash you back?"
"Out!" Ron exclaimed again, making her laugh.
Harry chuckled as Ginny disappeared. "Maybe I did want her help in washing my back."
Ron tossed his towel on the side and stepped into the shower. "Haha. If you can't reach your own back, holler, but I think you'll be fine."
Then he pulled the curtain closed as quickly as he could, making Harry grin. It was nice to know that some things hadn't changed.
Harry quickly washed his face and teeth before hopping into the shower. Once he was dressed in jeans and a jumper, he tried not to rub at the ache in his head. Merlin, he felt like he'd run been over by a train and back again.
He'd just made it down the stairs when he caught sight of Ginny chatting to Colin. He moved over, leaning over the chair to press a kiss to her cheek.
"Good morning."
"Hi, Harry," Colin said.
Harry moved to sit on the arm of the chair, a laugh escaping him when Ginny pulled him down into the seat. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his lap as she snuggled into his embrace.
"Colin, how are things?"
"Things are good," Colin said, his lips curving. "I have some work to do down in the Herald office, but we'll chat later, Ginny?"
"Yes," Ginny said. "Bye."
When he left, Harry turned her face towards his for a soft kiss. "Good morning."
"Mmm, good morning," Ginny said.
"How was your witch's night?"
"Lovely," Ginny replied. "It was nice and relaxing. We just lazed around and chatted, did face masks, had wine… it was exactly what I needed. How was yours? You and Ron looked a little worse for wear when I poked my head into the bathroom."
Harry grimaced. "It was good. But, Godric, I need a hangover potion! My head is bloody killing me."
"Aww, did you drink too much?" she teased.
"I don't even know how much I drank. Most of the night is blur," he admitted, seeing Theo come down the stairs.
"Did you sleep at all?" Ginny asked, waving Theo over. "Luna, Hermione, and I all slept in the bed, but they aren't as fun to sleep with as you."
His lips curved. "I would have rather slept with you, too."
Theo snorted. "I don't know, lover, you looked pretty comfortable this morning from what I could see!"
Ginny looked between Theo and Harry as Harry's neck flushed. "What did I miss?"
"Nothing," Harry said, quickly.
"I'm just saying, it's not fair," Theo whined. "Chick, why do you always let Harry snuggle with Ron, but not with me? I want some Harry snuggles!"
Ginny's eyes twinkled in mirth. "You snuggled with Ron?"
"No!" Harry exclaimed. "Of course I didn't snuggle with Ron!"
Theo grinned. "Well, snuggle might be the wrong word. I think a better choice would be he got handsy with Ron."
Ginny's eyes widened. "What do you — mmph!"
Harry's mouth covered hers, his hands cupping her cheeks, and stopping her question mid sentence. When he only deepened the kiss, neither of them heard Theo mutter, "Spoilsport" under his breath. Harry kept kissing her again and again, ignoring Theo who claimed that he was going to Slytherin to shower. Her hands slid into his hair and she straddled him in the chair so he pulled her closer.
He wasn't going to lie, he'd kissed her as a distraction, but now that his mouth was on hers, he had no desire to stop. Godric, she tasted so good and she smelt amazing. All fresh and flowery and Ginny. He wanted to hold her closer and never let her go. His lips brushed across hers again and again and when her tongue touched his, the immediate reaction it stirred in him was like an electrical current.
Harry let his hands travel up her back, brushing over her arms, touching the sides of her breasts and when she pressed her mouth against the pulse in his neck, he tilted his head back to give her more access.
"Mmm," Ginny murmured. "I missed you last night."
"Me too," he murmured, kissing her again.
Ginny smiled against his lips before she kissed her way to his ear, sucking the lobe into her mouth. "What were we talking about?"
"Nothing," he said, kissing her cheek. "But I think we should talk about going upstairs to my bed. Right now."
"Don't you want breakfast, Mr Hungover?"
"Absolutely," he said, his voice dropping to a low whisper near her ear. "And I can't wait to eat you out."
The hot look he sent her made her cheeks flush and she hopped off of his lap, holding her hand out to him. He grinned triumphantly and led her upstairs to his dorm. Neville was still getting dressed and he rolled his eyes at them, but then Harry was pulling her into his bed and closing the bed curtains in a flash. A quick privacy and silencing charm was all it took before he covered her with his body and captured her lips in his.
This was exactly what he needed to make him forget about his hangover. He just needed Ginny's lips on his, her body under his, and if he got his way, his tongue and cock deep inside of her.
And if this happened to also be a distraction that kept Ginny from hearing about his and Ron's sleeping arrangements, that was just a lucky coincidence. After all, if Theo told her how he'd woken up that morning his beautiful girlfriend would never let him live that down.
He would have to swear Theo to secrecy and Harry had a feeling that wasn't going to be easy to do. He would just have to keep his girlfriend distracted with his lips and his hands and his tongue. He smiled against her mouth and thought, that certainly wasn't going to be a hardship.
Not at all.
End Author's Notes:
I came up with the gent's night idea after seeing a funny meme that I shared on Tumblr about Seamus saying they were going to make a game out of lines Harry had said and whether he said it about Ron or Ginny. So, I thought it would be fun to have Harry and Ron win a game of who knows who best and have them just kill it! As to the rest… well, drunken shenanigans of teenage boys. There's always that one friend who's named his cock… personally, I like Princess Sophia or Krull, The Warrior King (one of my fave movie references).
As to "The Titanic," I was heavily inspired by a few people. So, thanks Ellie, Stella, May, and Josh — hope you enjoyed this chapter! It's for you!
Thanks to Sam for help with my Ron and Harry bromance! You always have the best advice!
Thanks to celtics534 for help making the final scene so much better! I needed that push to get me on the right track!
The next chapter begins the final battle!
Thanks for reading and please review!
