Chapter 11: Dates, Lies, and Mistakes

Harry and Hermione walked along the bayou in comfortable silence, Hermione admiring and occasionally twirling her rose. Harry had it enchanted to never wither or die for an extra sickle.

"Harry, tonight has been so wonderful. Thank you so much." Hermione said earnestly.

"No need to say thanks. Mya, you're worth it." Harry paused slightly. "Come 'ere. Let me show you something," He said and gently led her off the bayou and into the woods. He walked behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Harry, where are we going?" Hermione giggled.

"It's a surprise," Harry breathed into her ear. Hermione got slightly flustered with his breath in her ear and on her neck.

" O-Oh, OK," she stammered.

"Be careful, we're going uphill now," Harry warned, and sure enough Hermione had to pick her feet up to climb the steep hill. Suddenly the ground was level. Hermione could tell there were no trees at this point in the forest.

"OK, you can look now," Harry said, slowly moving his hands away from her eyes. Hermione gasped loudly.

"OMG, Harry this is beautiful!" she said, enraptured at the sight before her. Harry led them to a large cliff, high enough so the moon seemed right in front of them, larger than Hermione had ever seen. Harry conjured up a blanket to sit on and sat down, guiding Hermione next to him.

"You never cease to surprise me," Hermione half-whispered, like if she spoke too loud, everything would vanish.

"Gins, c'mon, you can stay," Draco half-pleaded, playfully grabbing Ginny's wrist.

"Ah, ah, ah, you naughty boy. You know I have to be home before curfew." Ginny scolded, wagging a finger at him. Draco pouted pitifully at her, causing her to kiss him softly on the lips.

"I'll come back tomorrow, Dragon." Ginny whispered, before apparating away with a loud CRACK!

"Hello? Hi Mrs. Longbottom...! I'm fine how are you?... That's great. May I please speak to Neville?" 'Yes! Neville is going to love my new cellphone!' Ron thought. Ron had been looking for that past 15 minutes for someone to gloat about his phone to, but no one in 6th year has a phone at home but Dean Thomas and Neville.He tried Dean first, but apparently he caught him in the middle of watching one of his beloved muggle sports games, which spurred a heated argument about who was better: the Miami Heat of the NBA or the Chudley Cannons of Quiditch. This caused Ron to hang-up furiously before remembering why he called him in the first place. Which is why he is now calling Neville.

"Hey Neville, you won't believe this bitchin' cellphone Harry bought us! It has video, camera, flash, FREE internet,-"

"Ron!" Neville interrupted suddenly. "Your phone sounds awesome, I'd love to see it, but I'm kinda busy right now. I'm sorry." Neville explained sincerely.

"Oh yeah! I'm soooo stupid! I forgot Ginny was over there. She already showed you her phone, hasn't she?" Ron said knowingly.

"What? Ginny's not here. I haven't seen Ginny in 3 weeks," Neville responded sadly.

"What do you mean? She told eveeryone she was coming over to your place," Ron said. "She always says she going to your place. Just last week you guys went to Diagon Alley to go shopping," Ron said confused.

"Well, I don't know what's going on, butjust don't confront her. Keep an eye on her Ron, won't you? I trust Ginny, whatever she's doing must be for a good reason." Neville said, but not sounding too convincing.

"O.K, I'll keep watch over her, but somethingdoen't seemright." Ron said distastefully.

"Thank you Ron. You're a great friend."

I watched stealthily in the shadows as the Potter brat and his mudblood bitch huddled under the stars, wanting more than ever to wipe the Earth of their presence.

"No, no, Voldemort's orders. I will wait, my lord will dispose of them. I can have my fun later..." I reminded myself, remembering what masterpromised me as I surpressed the urge to vomit as they kissed "romantically" under the stars.

"Disgusting," I spat, waiting desperately for them to stop. I thanked the gods when they finally packed up to leave hand-in-hand, taking my cue to leave.

I arrived at the headquaters,dropping the old hammer I used as a portkey.

"So, anything new discovered?" my lord asked.

"Yes, Potter seems to have a new girlfriend," I said proudly bowing, happy with my find.

"Oh, this can be of use. Who is she?" Voldemort asked excitedly.

"It's the Mudblood, Granger," I said, slowly rising to full height.

"As if I didn't know," Master said sourly. "That is all. You are dismissed. I expect to see you this time on Friday for your next round."

"Yes, milord."

Time pased quickly for the resident in the Burrow, and soon it was Harry's Birthday.

"Mya, I really don't want to see a movie today," Harry whined pitifully.

"But it's your birthday, we have to do something. You wouldn't let me plan anything special for your birthday, so I figured we could at least see a movie," Hermione protested. "Please," Hermione begged, climbing into his lap and kissing him slowly.

"Your going to seduse me just to see a movie?" Harry said shocked.

"Well, I didn't expect it to go that far, but something like that, yeah," she said, smirking.

"Alright if it means that much..." he finally relented.

"Yay!" Hermione said, smiling slightly, but suddenly turning predatory. She kissed him passionately, smiling as she slowly ground her hips into his. He felt himself harden quickly at the sudden pressure, but broke the kiss nonetheless.

"Hermione, did you take the potion today?" Harry asked seriously.

"No. Harry, I've been a naughty, naughty girl. You should spank me," She said seductively, twirling a strand of hair in her finger and biting her lip.Harry quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out the vial for her, holding it out for her to take. Instead of her taking it from him, she lowered her lips on it and slowly drew the end of it into her mouth, sucking lightly.

"Gods, no!"Harry groaned, half in lust, half in frustration. He took it back and uncorked it and she opened her mouth and tilted back obediently. He poured the red potion in her mouth before carefully removing her from his lap and sitting her in the chair next to him. Hermione shook her head slightly before opening her eyes. A look of dawning realization graced her features before she blushed sheepishly after she glanced at his lap.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to take it today," she apologized dolefully.

"It's O.K. Do I have enough time to take a shower before we go?" She blushed harder before quickly nodding yes.
