Chapter 2-Joy and Sorrow
They reached the castle with a crowd of dripping wet students. Harry was between them, holding each by a hand. As the wet crowd began to dissipate, Harry looked over and saw Hermione in a side corridor. She had a questioning look on her face, but then Ron stuck his head out of a classroom and yanked her back in with him. As Harry was contemplating where to go next, Luna removed her hand and looked at Harry and Ginny.
"Thank you both very much, that was quite delightful. Now Ginny I think Harry wants you to himself."
Then Luna turned and made her way toward the Ravenclaw tower. Harry watched her go, marveling at the recent events and becoming inflamed all over again. Seeing the look in his eyes, Ginny pulled him down a back hallway. She checked several rooms along the way, but none were empty. Finally, she turned the corner and found a small dead end alcove. Ginny pulled Harry's head down and began to snog him again. Harry needed no convincing and soon they were entwined once again. As Harry groped Ginny through her robes, she made her decision and pulled away from him briefly.
"Harry, I need you desperately. I don't think I'm quite ready to let you all the way in, but I think we can find other ways to pleasure each other."
As she finished speaking, Ginny reached down and grabbed Harry's erect cock through his robes. He was so shocked, he almost came right then. Instead, he yanked Ginny's robe over her head, followed immediately by her jumper, and then plunged his face into her breasts. Ginny moaned in delight and let him suckle her for a few minutes, then she pushed him back and pulled his robes off. Harry was momentarily alarmed.
"Ginny I want you more than anything, but we aren't in a locked room. This hallway isn't used often, but someone may still find us."
Ginny replied by nibbling Harry's neck and then whispered in his ear.
"I bloody well don't care."
Unable to resist further, Harry reached down and began to remove Ginny's skirt and knickers. As he pulled them off, he found himself at level with her crotch and forgot about anything else around them as he slipped his tongue into her folds. Ginny shoved her fist in her mouth to keep from screaming in delight. She let Harry devour her for a minute longer, then pulled him up and began snogging him again. The taste on his lips was tangy and she realized it was her own flavor. They broke apart briefly and Ginny muttered.
"Time for your turn Mr. Potter."
Then she yanked off his pants and boxers in one swift move. Ginny looked down to admire what Harry was wielding. He was bigger than any of her brothers. Truthfully, she had only ever seen Charlie and George erect when she caught them wanking off, but Harry was bigger than either of them. She knelt down and began to envelop his glorious cock as Harry started to groan and growl her name. She was new to this, but what she was doing seemed to be having the effect she wanted as she alternated between licking the plump head to sucking him deeply into her throat. Just as she was getting a rhythm, Harry pulled her back up.
"I'm almost there Gin, but I want this for you too so let's do this together."
With that said, Harry lowered Ginny to the floor and then positioned himself on top, with his face in her crotch and his balls slapping her chin. He began eating her out with a fearsome intensity and Ginny responded by swallowing his cock whole while simultaneously playing with his balls. Minutes later, Harry grunted as he shot a huge load into Ginny's mouth. At the same time, he dipped a finger into her and grabbed her clit between his teeth and Ginny forgot anything about being quiet as she yelled.
"Oh Gods, YESSSSSSSS."
As Ginny's cry echoed through the halls, a flood of moisture reached Harry's chin and he began lapping her up. Finally spent, they turned around and lay in each other's arms for a few minutes. Ginny thoroughly thanked Harry and they began to get dressed, but in the back of her mind she quietly wondered what Luna would have thought about the recent performance.
That evening as everyone sat around the fire in the common room, Hermione leaned over and whispered in Ginny's ear.
"Let's talk. Join me in my dorm in ten minutes."
Hermione then left to go upstairs. Ten minutes later, Ginny followed, but passed her own dorm to go one level higher to see Hermione. When she entered, only Hermione was there and she quickly locked the door.
Hermione grinned at Ginny.
"Ok, talk."
Ginny tried to be nonchalant, but Hermione was not to be put off.
"Gin I saw you and Harry AND Luna come running back in TOGETHER. Then you and Harry disappeared somewhere and we didn't see you again until dinner. So, stop playing innocent, I want some details."
Ginny finally gave in and laughed. Hermione was one of her best friends and she really was dying to talk to someone about her wonderful day and her somewhat conflicted emotions.
"Ok, I'll tell you, but it goes no further than here."
Hermione agreed, cast muffliato and locked the door. That done, Ginny then proceeded with the general details of the day. When she reached the part where she started snogging Luna with Harry, Hermione's jaw dropped and she couldn't help but interrupt.
"But I didn't know you fancied girls! Wait, do you fancy all girls?"
Ginny laughed and shrugged.
"I didn't know I did either, and I guess I usually don't, but if it's the right girl then maybe? Anyway, don't get your knickers in a bunch Hermione, I have no plans on snogging you anytime soon. From the looks of things my brother is doing plenty of that."
Hermione blushed a deep crimson and Ginny took the opportunity to turn the tables.
"So…I've been honest, now your turn. How far have you and my dear brother Ronald gone?"
Hermione's blush returned and she hesitated.
"Okay, I guess it is my turn. Well you know of course that Ron and I have fancied each other for a while, despite going out with other people?"
"Duh."
"Well, since we already know each other so well it just seems to be natural that we are moving fairly quick."
Ginny grinned.
"And…"
"…And, well, um, I gave my first blow job today. I don't think I was that great, but Ron seemed very happy."
"And…"
"…And, well then Ron returned the favor and let's just say he has a most spectacular tongue."
Hermione finished with a final blush. Ginny couldn't believe it, her shyest brother had finally gotten into a girl's knickers. She was impressed. As Ginny smiled, Hermione refocused her attention.
"Ok Gin, so you told me what happened outside, but I have yet to hear where you and Harry disappeared to after Luna left?"
"Well we were basically doing the same as you and Ron, but together."
"Together?"
"Yes, together. You just have to lay yourselves just right so your mouths reach where they need to on each other and then you can both get pleasured at the same time."
Hermione stared, then a slow grin crept across her face. Seeing this, Ginny snorted.
"So you like the idea, ready to try it now are you?"
Hermione laughed.
"No, I think we can wait until tomorrow."
Ginny then joined in the laugh and gave Hermione a hug.
"See, no weirdness Hermione, I am 100% not attracted to you...Luna though is another matter."
With that, Hermione rolled her eyes and unlocked the door to reveal an angry Lavender wondering why she had been locked out.
One week later…
Ginny was frustrated. She had planned on meeting Harry after dinner tonight, but he had sent a message via Colin that Dumbledore had an assignment and he wasn't going to be able to make it. Ginny understood, but she still ached for Harry. In the week since their spectacular Saturday, they had been so busy with classes that all she had gotten was some snogging and a bit of a grope. She was ready to repeat their indoor performance of the previous Saturday and even entertained the thought that maybe Harry would invite Luna to join. Now, her plans were foiled. Since she had nothing else to do, she figured she might as well study, but that definitely was not as much fun. When she went to bed that night, she fell asleep rubbing herself and thinking of a dark and handsome wizard.
Ginny was awakened a couple of hours later by the sounds of crashing coming from the main part of the castle. She pulled on her robes and rushed down to the common room. Professor McGonagall was waiting there and delivered the incredible news that a small group of Death Eaters were in the castle. She then ordered everyone back to their dormitories and exited through the portrait of the fat lady while incanting a spell as she closed the portrait hole. Several students grabbed their wands and rushed to try to exit and go attack the Death Eaters, but the professor had sealed them in well. Despite McGonagall's instructions, no one returned to their dorms, but instead waited in the common room, wands at the ready in case any Death Eaters decided to blast their way in. Ron and Hermione held their wands, but their free hands were entwined as they provided some small comfort to each other. Ginny was beside herself. Harry was still out with Dumbledore on some fool quest and she had no idea if he was okay. She had just barely gotten a relationship going with him after years of waiting and now he might be gone.
The wait seemed interminable, but it was actually less than two hours later when Professor McGonagall returned. She had wisely cast a shield bubble around herself before entering, as a couple of students were a bit too quick on the draw and tried blasting her as she opened the portrait hole. Seeing who it was, everyone lowered their wands. The professor lowered her shield, walked over to where a group of seventh years were drinking an illegal bottle of firewhiskey, took the bottle and downed a large gulp. Everyone was a bit shocked, but nothing like they were about to be.
Professor McGonagall briefly detailed the now finished battle. Draco Malfoy it seemed had somehow opened a portal to allow the Death Eaters in. Dumbledore had confronted Draco on the top of the astronomy tower, but several Death Eaters soon joined, including Professor Snape. Snape had then blasted Dumbledore off the tower. She was sorry, but it was confirmed, Headmaster Dumbledore was dead. The rest of the professors had battled the rest of the Death Eaters and several had been captured, but most had escaped. School was officially finished for the year. Everyone who wished to could remain for the funeral tomorrow afternoon. Then she turned to go. The common room had never been so silent. Ginny was numb. The professor hadn't said anything about Harry. She hurried to Professor McGonagall before she could leave the portrait hole. Seeing Ginny, the professor turned and whispered to her.
"Harry is alive and doing as well as can be expected, but I can tell you no more."
Ginny's knees gave way as she let out a single sob. Hermione and Ron rushed to her side and soon the whole common room was in tears. Eventually everyone began to retreat to their dorms. A few hours sleep would be their only solace. Ginny remained, waiting for Harry. Hermione and Ron stayed as well. Harry arrived a couple of hours before sunrise. He looked awful. His eyes were dark shadows that seemed to have aged years since Ginny last saw him. She rushed to him and he took her in his arms briefly. She wanted him to kiss her, but he held back.
"I love you Ginny, but I need to sleep."
With that, he started up the stairs. Ron followed him and Hermione led Ginny to the girls' dorms.
The next day dawned with a brilliant blue sky. It seemed wrong in a way, but it also seemed right that Dumbledore would have this day to be laid to rest. Harry did not show up for breakfast, but he did sit with Ginny, Ron and Hermione for lunch. He did not say or eat much. He seemed lost in thought. As the meal ended, everyone began a sad procession down to the lake to say goodbye to their beloved headmaster. Harry sat with his arm around Ginny and she reveled in the closeness. The ceremony was beautiful and poignant. At the end, Harry took Ginny by the hand. He was about to do the most difficult thing he had ever done.
"Ginny we need to talk."
As he led her away, Ron started to follow, but Hermione held him back.
They reached the far side of the lake in silence that lasted for a few minutes. Harry didn't know how to begin, so he just dove in.
"Ginny, you know that Dumbledore and I had been working on some special tasks this year. Well, last night was part of that. Now that he's gone, it's up to me. If I'm successful, Voldemort will be dead. If not, well…"
Ginny looked at him and began crying. Harry had to turn away, he couldn't stand her tears right now.
"Ginny, I will not be returning to Hogwarts next year. I will go back to the Dursleys briefly and then I will attend Bill and Fleur's wedding. After that, I will be working toward ending Voldemort. I cannot tell you more, so please do not ask. My first worry in beginning this journey is the safety of those I love. Anyone attached to me will be in danger. So, Ginny, I have to leave you. We cannot continue together."
With tears in his eyes, Harry turned and left Ginny standing there, feeling as if her heart had been ripped out.
