Chapter 11

In the Cabin
Ginny won the next hand, getting Seamus in a shirtless state. She couldn't hide how her eyes followed his toned arms all the way to his chisled chest. The alcohol was still affecting her, and Seamus won another hand easily. This left Ginny wearing only her bra and panties. Seamus won again, and of course Ginny was chosen to remove another article of clothing.

"Toss me theat bra of yours, sweetheart." Ginny obliged, giggling, and tried to cover herself.

"Don't hide that beauty, Gin. Come here." She got up and shuffled toward him.

"Sit on my lap and face me, love." As she did so, he took her arms and held them down at her sides so he could look at her more fully; She giggled again. Harry sat across the table silently steaming. Then Seamus put Ginny's arms around his neck and kissed her. She responded by pulling him closer and letting him slip his tongue in her mouth. She began to grind into him, getting carried away.

Suddenly, something snapped, and Ginny pulled away.

"We shouldn't do this in front of Harry," Ginny said uncomfortably.

"You're right...let's go find a room."

"No I-I...I want to stop." Now that the booze was beginning to wear off, she didn't like the position she was in with Seamus. She felt powerless.

"Aww, come on. How could you tease me like this?" he grabbed hold of her arms.

"You can't change your mind now." His fingers dug in and Ginny started crying.

"Stop, please," she begged.

"Leave her alone, Seamus," Harry said in a dangerous and threatening voice. Seamus looked up to see a wand pointed directly at his head and Harry towering over him. Fury and rage were etched in every line of Harry's face.

"Alright. Calm down, man. I wasn't serious."

"Get out of here and take Dean with you," Harry commanded. He helped Ginny up off Seamus and conjured a blanket to wrap around Ginny. Seamus apparated himself away with Dean, glaring at Harry.

"Ginny, are you alright?" asked Harry. She nodded, but was still in tears. He put his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"Let it all out. I'm here for you."

"Can you ever forgive me for how I've treated you?" she sobbed.

"Of course, Ginny. I love you."

"Really, Harry?"

"Of course." Ginny smiled and hugged him tighter.

"I love you, too."

In the Bedroom
"So you and Ginny are together now?" Ron asked awkwardly.

"Yeah," Harry responded.

"Hermione hasn't woken up yet," Ron said, concerned.

"Well, she had a lot to drink. She is going to feel miserable when she wakes up," said Harry. Ron sat on the bed where Hermione lay and stroked her hair.

"She'll be fine, really. I promise."

"Yeah," Ron said blandly.

Harry walked out of the room and joined Ginny on the couch. Ron sighed to himself.

"Please wake up, Hermione. Please. I love you." Hermione began to stir.

"Ugh, my head...I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you," Hermione mumbled. "What had you said, Ron?"

"Nothing...it doesn't matter. I was just worried, that's all. How are you feeling?"

"Well, except for the nausea, pretty decent. What happened last night?"

"Not a lot, you just drank a bit too much."

Hermione giggled. "I just hope I didn't embarrass myself. I'm sure I look awful."

"No, Hermione. You look beautiful."

The Burrow
"It was nice you got to spend some time with us and attend our wedding before you had to leave," said Bill.

"Be as safe as you can, "said Mrs. Weasley through her tears. "Don't take any unnecessary risks!"

"I'll come back for you, Ginny. I promise," whispered Harry into Ginny's ear.

"Good-bye. Take care!"

"Good-bye, everyone," the Golden trio called back, as they left for their next destination.

"On to Godric's Hollow..."

Thanks to everyone for reviewing. Thanks especially to secretspy9360, carolquin, dancin1in3my1undiez6, and pettybureaucrat for reviewing right from the start!!! I really coudn't have done this without any one of you, because if I had to do this just for myself, I would never have completed it (blame the ADHD or my extreme laziness). Thanks again to you all!
