Chapter 17: Kissed by the Moon, Loved by the Fire

Tonks walked the grounds, ready to stand guard of the sleeping students, she fairly estimated they should awaken by dawn the latest. Her instincts were telling her that there was something very odd about the whole game Dumbledore was setting up, she knew the man would never do anything without sufficient reason and/or purpose but what really got beneath her skin was, why? Why is he doing it all? What will happen because of it?

Pondering the many insanities her mind was concocting she dosed in and out of consciousness till she put a Waking Spell on herself; her long chocolaty hair flowing in waves behind her as her emerald green eyes pierced through the creamy clouds and into the heart of the moon…how many more nights until it is all over? How many more nights till it all begins?

Suddenly she was broken out of her thoughts as Ron fell to the floor and broke out into a series of coughs. Tonks rushed over to his aid, suddenly several other students within the next fifteen minutes or so fell out of there sleep to the ground. Within a few minutes professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid and Snape were out by the students…all the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students had arisen…for Gryffindor Dean, Parvati and Ron were awake and for Slytherin all but Draco had arisen.

Dumbledore then walked over to the students, "Professors please escort your students to their common rooms and see that they be fed and given a good nights rest…" he began then with a fixing of his half-moon spectacles he said, "and for the students, you will not say anything about what you saw in your dreams to anyone outside of this tournament…or outside your own Houses, understood?"

The students looked tired, some looked wide wake, some looked slightly spooked while others looked confused and shaken. Dumbledore knew that his plan had worked, the effects of awakening such great power in a young witch or wizard can be a very overwhelming ordeal but he knew that he would never give the students anything they couldn't handle themselves. As the professors began to take the students away, Dumbledore called out to one student in particular, "Mr. Weasely?" Ron looked back, "A word if you please, I excuse you from your group."

Ron looked at his fellow classmates and then walked back over to Dumbledore, "Yes sir?"

Dumbledore conjured two chairs for them to sit on, and he sat himself down, "Mr. Weasely…how are you feeling my boy?

Ron looked at the chair and slowly sat down, he then looked up at his friends who were still sleeping, Harry, Hermione, Lavender…then there was Draco still asleep. Ron sighed and spoke still looking towards his friends, "I feel something I cant seem to explain. To be honest nothing made much sense in the beginning…nothing makes much sense now. I cant put into words so much what or how I feel except that I don't understand it either, but its definitely something I've never felt before sir."

Dumbledore conjured a pipe and nodded with a comforting grin, "All things come in time Mr. Weasely…all things come in time."

"Harry, Hermione, Lavender…even Malfoy…why are they still sleeping?" Ron asked curiously with a hint of worry lacing his voice.

"I half expected them to still be up there, even you…I'm rather amazed you came out of your dream so quickly…I wouldn't know what to make of it as of yet. As for them…there are bigger things going on inside of them that you and I could never imagine. Just like there were things going on within you that I nor anyone else could ever understand because it is part of you…conquering yourself and what makes you weak and strong is one of the hardest things in the world; not meant for the weak of heart," Dumbledore glanced over at Ron with a smile, "And a strong heart you have my boy…one of the strongest I know."

Hermione felt her eyes flutter and her body stir, she suddenly froze as she felt a soft and warm body beside her. She opened her eyes to find the naked form of Draco laying beside her…eyes closed sleeping like an angel. She then realized she herself was naked, she glanced at her surroundings…still in the forest…still in a dream land. She then blushed furiously as she remembered the events of earlier.

She and Draco engaged in a kiss that ignited a passion she had never felt before in all her life. The touch of his lips on hers, the gentle feel of his tongue playing with hers, the sudden urge she felt to have him deep inside her.

She smiled as she began to remember more…

Draco had ripped her dress off in one slash, as he pulled her by the waist and pressed his pounding manhood against her wet softness. Smelling her scent, tasting her skin, her lips, feeling her curves touching and tasting the tenderness of her breasts. Grinning in satisfaction as Hermione arched her back in pleasure allowing him to do more of the same to her, he then slowly laid her down on the ground…his eyes burning, his groin pounding, his hands learning every inch of her body. Hermione could only lay and enjoy everything he was doing to her, one of her fondest moments was when he got his fill of her womanhood, she came to realize Draco had a greedy tongue and hungry lips. It wasn't long before she felt ready to fly to the heavens, Draco then pulled away and slowly crawled on top of her…Hermione felt her body aching for him, she slid her hands slowly up his chiseled arms caressing his neck, sliding her hands down over his firm chest, she then locked her arms around his and pulled him closer to her. Their lips met and their kiss was deep, matching each others likeness, Hermione stroked Draco's hair softly as he moaned, for Hermione realized the tip of Draco's groin was against her delicate softness which was wet with an excruciating desire to have him enter her. Draco slowly slid himself inside of her and Hermione felt her body shiver, Draco felt ready to explode inside her but stopped himself, he wasn't going to be satisfied until he satisfied his woman first. The strides were slow at first, as they kissed and joined hands, Draco began quickening the pace as Hermione caught his rhythm almost immediately. The feel of her tight walls and warm wetness was becoming almost unbearable to refrain from spilling inside her, but he was determined to have her show how much she wanted him, enjoyed him, the pounding of her inner walls expressed the desire she had for him and it excited him and quickened him even more. They exchanged more soft kisses as there wet bodies moved as one under the light of the moon by the golden blaze of the fire beside them, making their bodies glow with an orange fade. After what seemed like an eternity Hermione felt herself go, a huge release of pleasure made her feel something she had never felt before and she loved it. Draco followed, releasing his seed inside her and gently laying on top of Hermione, with the satisfaction of getting what he wanted done with perfect restrain. Hermione put her arms around him and kissed his forehead gently as they laid there in silence, exhaustion and a new found….hmm…exactly what new feeling was there? Could it be? Draco moved himself behind Hermione and pulled her close to him.

"Your mine now woman," he growled softly in her ear.

Hermione shivered in delight at the sound of what he said, and turned to face him and without saying a word she placed her lips softly on his. Their hearts never felt so full as they did now.

As Ron was near falling asleep and Dumbledore as well…a loud thud brought them back to their senses. As they looked ahead they saw Harry, Lavender, Hermione and Draco on the floor slowly stirring as they were being brought back to their senses. Once they all stood up, Dumbeldore approached them and said… "Well, then…pleasant dreams?"
