REALLY IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank y'all so much for being here and reading this. I have so much going on, as we all do, but a few really important time-consuming things have been happening this year. I started a second business, and then we have another major thing in life that I can't talk about, yet, but I will hopefully be able to let the cat out of the bag within the next few weeks! Now that we have accomplished everything on our side of things, I will have free time again and hope to start updating regularly, again. Feel free to keep me in check by asking about when updates will be but the best encouragement is honestly telling me what you think of the story! Without further ado, Chapter 28!
Hermione used the private entrance that lead her around to the back of the great hall, behind the professor's table. There weren't a lot of students, yet, but she knew she was going to be stared at and wanted to avoid it as much as possible. She grabbed a seat by Hagrid and Professor Flitwick, Hermione couldn't bring herself to call him by his first name, even just to herself. Soon, the great hall was packed with students and Headmistress McGonagall stood to address them. Hermione's heart lurched to her throat. She knew she would have to face almost all of the students in the school, in class, over the next couple of weeks, but did not realize the Headmistress was going to make her do it, now.
"I know we are all excited to get to supper but I wanted to make the announcement that Ms. Granger is now Professor Granger. She will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts for now and has kindly agreed to go wherever she is needed until things are completely stable. After, she will be in her permanent subject. If you need anything don't be afraid to send her an owl or speak with her to set up an appointment. Professor Granger is talented in many fields and I'm sure will be able to help you with anything you need. Now, then, let's tuck in." Headmistress McGonagall sat down. Hermione wasn't as nervous as she thought she would be, she felt confident and put together thanks to her makeup, which surprised her a bit. There were a lot of eyes on her throughout the announcement and when the announcement ended Hermione was surprised that a lot of the students were actually clapping. The first three years and the returning students the most but the 4th years to 7th years also looked happy to have the news. This boosted Hermione's confidence even more and she smiled brightly. Tomorrow she would have her 4th years and then she would sit in on the 5th year's classes. She was looking forward to it but she was looking forward to talking to Charlie, even more.
While Hermione filled her plate, she thought back on their conversation from the night before and Hermione was glad that no one could read her thoughts. Hermione had been having a hard time missing Charlie but he let her know it was nothing compared to the hard time he had been having. Hermione couldn't help the smile on her face and quickly took a bite.
Hermione had just gotten back to her dormitory and had a quick shower when Charlie appeared in her mirror calling her name. She dried herself off a bit before wrapping her towel around herself and racing into her room.
"Hey, love," Charlie growled when he saw her.
"Hey," Hermione blushed a bit while thinking it was crazy to still do so.
"Watcha wearing there?" Charlie winked at her.
"Not a lot." Hermione giggled self-consciously. "A few tattoos, a towel, and some water." Flirting with Charlie felt good. Everything with Charlie felt good.
"What's wrong, love?" Charlie asked her after she laid on her bed.
"It's just hard missing you. I knew it would be but it's setting in a bit more every day." Hermione admitted.
"It's hard missing you, too." Charlie rolled his eyes and smirked a bit.
"What?" Hermione was a bit confused.
"Look." Charlie tilted his mirror down his shirtless body and Hermione could see the bulge in his pajama bottoms, clear as day. "It's been hard missing you, as well," Charlie emphasized the word hard a bit more, this time, and Hermione caught on.
"Oh!" Hemione flushed pleased with what she did to him.
"You want to take care of it for me?" Charlie teased with a wink.
"I mean I would, but I'm here and you're there," Hermione said, wishing it weren't true.
"I can think of a million and one ways you can still help me out, and it will help you as well, love," Charlie told her confidently.
"How so?"
"Do you trust me?" Charlie asked, sitting up with excitement.
"Of course," Hermione answered automatically.
"I need you to go get in the package that George sent you," Charlie instructed her to find the Partners Playdate Potion.
"What is this for?" Hermione started to turn it around in her hands.
"Each potion comes with a partner potion and they work together. George took some of my ideas and really made some amazing products. I knew this year would be hard for us so I wanted to see what we could do to make this easier. I thought if we had a way to be together when we couldn't be together that we would be able to do this easier. You have one part and I have one part and if we both drink them then… well, just drink it." Charlie winked at her.
"Okay," Hermione trusted Charlie and she trusted George's skills with his products. She turned up the drink and sucked it down. It tasted sweet. Hermione looked back at Charlie to ask what was going to happen next but she didn't have to wait, he was right there on her bed. "How are you here?" Hermione asked stunned.
"I'm not, really, but this potion makes it seem like I am. I can reach up and touch you and you will feel it, even." Charlie reached out and put his hand on her face to show her.
"Oh my." Hermione was breathless with the possibilities. "This is going to be…"
"Fantastic," Charlie inserted. "amazing, perfect." He grinned at her seductively.
"Mind-blowing and maybe a bit explosive," Hermione smirked and reached out to touch Charlie. She was shocked, how the potion was working but was too excited to care about dissecting what was making it work. She ran her hand from his abs up to his shoulder and up to his jaw before leaning in to kiss him gently. His lips were warm and soft against hers and Hermione couldn't help the sigh that she breathed out. It hadn't even been a week and Hermione was going insane without him. Now, she felt relief that there was a possible way to solve that issue, partially. Charlie rolled her onto her back and ground their cores together. Hermione felt an instant jolt go through her and raked her fingertips down his back trying not to scratch him. Charlie nipped her neck before moving down lower, where the marks wouldn't be seen. Would he leave marks, if he wasn't really here? He licked one nipple before gently sucking on it and lightly squeezed her other breast while running his thumb over the tight bud. Charlie moved lower and nibbled on her belly button before licking down to her mound. Charlie looked up and smirked at her. Hermione was already wet and Charlie knew it, knew it was because of him and knew she was desperate for him to continue. He leaned down breathing hot air on her just before splitting her lips apart with a long swipe of his tongue. He flicked back down after passing her clit and chuckled when she jumped. Hermione squirmed when she felt the vibrations, she was already losing it. She ran her hands into Charlie's hair and gripped it tightly, she couldn't help herself as he sucked on her clit. Her legs and abs tensed up and she jerked against his mouth. Charlie inserted a finger deeply and Hermione exploded with a gasping moan. Charlie kept sucking and licking while Hermione shook through her orgasm.
"What was that, fifteen seconds?" Charlie asked when she came down from her high.
"I'm not sure," Hermione giggled "it definitely didn't take long at all."
"I guess you could say I'm good at my job, then." Charlie winked at her.
"I would use a few other words." Hermione grinned as she caught her breath.
Hermione rolled over and shoved Charlie down to slide his pants off. As soon as his penis was free it jumped straight up at attention. Hermione slid her hands up his thighs and gripped him in both of her hands before leaning forward to take his head in her mouth. He hissed out a breath as soon as she enclosed her lips around him. Hermione licked and sucked while slowly going up and down the best she could, if it wasn't for using both hands, she would never be able to please his whole length. It had only taken a few minutes and Charlie warned her he was going to cum. She could have grabbed her towel but instead, she let him cum in her mouth, she liked that his orgasm lasted longer when he did. It was weird, she knew he was cumming, she could feel it, but there was nothing to swallow. It didn't take Charlie long to be ready, again. Hermione was glad, she had missed being with him and she was going to take advantage of this opportunity as best she could. Charlie pulled her into his lap, facing him and wrapping her legs around him, and lowered her onto his penis. When Hermione was fully against his hips, he slowly rocked her back and forth, making sure she had stimulation everywhere. He used his thumb against her clit, massaged her breast, and kissed her deeply. He had missed her greatly and wanted to savor her and worship her. Soon, Hermione was completely delirious with her need to get off. She unwrapped her legs and got her knees under her. She grabbed Charlie's hair in both fists and pulled him tightly to her mouth. She bit his lip and kissed him frantically as she rode him, desperately. Charlie grabbed her hips to help her go faster, as she got closer her rhythm was messed up. Charlie threw her down on the bed, he flipped their positions and took all control. Charlie held Hermione's hands up above her head and pinned her hips down with his other hand. He was going to torture her a bit, to make the orgasm all the better.
She was frustrated, Charlie knew it, she was chasing her orgasm and wanted it so badly. Charlie wanted to give it to her almost more than anything. The one thing he wanted more was for the all-encompassing pleasure she would feel if she had to wait a bit longer for the buildup, before the climax. Charlie nipped her collar bone and Kissed her everywhere he could reach. He ground into her with as much contact to her clitoris as possible. Hermione went from moaning to throwing her head back and whimpering.
"Please!" Hermione wasn't really asking, she was demanding.
"What do you need, love?" Charlie tortured her.
"Make me cum!" Hermione was losing it and losing her patience, both.
Without warning, Charlie moved his hand from holding her hips down to pulling them up. With Hermione able to move again she rolled her hips into him. Charlie dropped her hands in exchange for finding her clit, again. Hermione pulled him down and Kissed him before biting his lip and then his shoulder as she orgasmed, it was the only thing that muffled her scream. Charlie was only moments behind her and made sure to ride out their orgasms as long as he could.
Hermione felt like rubber, scratch that, rubber had more sturdiness than she did. Charlie cuddled her into him and covered them both up. They didn't know how long it would last but they both wanted to enjoy all of the time they had. They lay in bed talking softly and just holding each other. Eventually, they drifted off, but the potion was still working.
Hermione couldn't help the smile that remained on her face for her whole meal, she knew they couldn't have a repeat every night. She knew they only had a few more doses of the potion and they needed to decide together when to use them. Hermione also knew George would probably make more for them but with no idea how long it would take, she didn't want to use them all and have to have a huge gap in seeing Charlie. Granted, after his job was done she may be able to meet up in Hogsmeade or even apparate elsewhere, but even then, she would have to come back to the castle, after, which she knew she wouldn't want to do.
After supper was finished Hermione headed up to her common room to relax a bit before she would get to talk to Charlie. Maybe she could think of a few more ideas on how to get Charlie off without being able to be there. It was time for Hermione to really go through the things that George had sent her and to send him an owl with a review and any questions she had.
