Chapter Eight: Trouble In Paradise

After the events on Christmas eve and Harry finding out, the rest of the vacation was rather uneventful for the girls. They couldn't keep their hands off of each other of course but nothing major or exciting happened. On the Saturday before school started up again, they said goodbye to Molly, Arthur and the older Weasleys and boarded the train. After a very long train ride they arrived at Hogwarts. A short while later, the gang was sitting in the common room enjoying the nice warm fire. Hermione was talking to Harry about muggle traditions, when she felt Ginny's piercing gaze on her.

When Harry said something to Ron, she looked over toward the younger Weasley, who had an evil smirk on her face. Ginny slowly looked over Hermione's body and licked her lips seductively. Hermione bit her lip and looked to make sure that Ron and Harry were still occupied. When she looked back over at Ginny, the redhead was undoing some of the buttons on her shirt, revealing a nice amount of cleavage. Hermione let out a small whimper as Ginny slid her skirt up a few inches. Ginny ran her hand up her thigh causing Hermione to swallow hard. Ginny stood up and turned toward Harry and Ron.

"Well it's getting late, so I'm going to go lay down," she said even though neither boy payed any attention. She looked around the room and noticed that they were the only ones still there. As she walked past Hermione she leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"If you want me, come and get me," she purred. She ran her fingers along Hermione's arm gently, leaving goosebumps behind her. Hermione couldn't help staring at the redhead's ass as she walked and even after she was gone.

"You alright there Hermione?" Harry asked interrupting her gaze. She blushed as she looked back at Harry, knowing that he had caught her staring. He knew it too, as he was smirking at her.

"I'm fine. I just think I'm tired. I'm going to head up to bed now. Goodnight." Harry raised his eyebrows at her.

"Have a good night then," he said sarcastically. Hermione smiled.

"Oh I will."

"What was that about?" Ron asked confusedly.

"Nothing," Harry said, trying to hide his smile.

Hermione's heart was racing by the time she reached her room. She knew Ginny would have gone there instead of her own room. Her body was practically aching for Ginny's touch. She slipped in and shut the door behind her. She groaned as she felt Ginny push her back against the door, kissing her forcefully. In less than a minute, both girls had lost their shirts. Hermione spun them around, capturing Ginny's hands with her own and pinned them on either side of Ginny's head. She attacked Ginny's neck as she slipped her leg between the redhead's legs.

"What took you so long?" Ginny moaned.

"I wasn't that long. I left right after you did. Harry knew why of course and took the liberty to pick on me about it," Hermione said, looking into Ginny's eyes. "And you are an evil evil girl for torturing me like that." Ginny smirked.

"Like what?" the redhead asked innocently as she pressed her thigh against Hermione's throbbing core. Hermione arched her back into Ginny who, having her arms pinned to the wall, leaned closer and sucked on the skin just above Hermione's bra. Hermione released Ginny's hands and tangled her own in Ginny's hair. Ginny took the opportunity to grasp Hermione's waist and push her back toward the bed. Ginny kissed along Hermione's neck and slid her hands underneath Hermione's bra.

"I want your fingers inside of me, making me come," Hermione purred in Ginny's ear. Ginny, slightly shocked that those words had come out of Hermione's mouth, looked at the older girl. Hermione just smirked slyly and moved one Ginny's hands into her jeans and into her panties. Ginny had become even more aroused at hearing Hermione talk dirty and didn't hesitate to give the girl what she wanted. It didn't take long before they were both completely naked and Hermione was writhing under Ginny's touch. Ginny grinned as the older girl moaned loudly and thrusted against her hand. Feeling the Hermione was close, Ginny lowered her head and took Hermione's clit in her mouth. She nipped and sucked, while still thrusting her fingers into Hermione. Before Hermione knew it, she exploded forcefully and rode out the wave of euphoria caused by her lover. As she came down from her high she could feel Ginny planting small kisses up her stomach, chest and neck, finally settling on her lips. After a few minutes of gentle kissing Hermione rolled them over and roamed her hands all over Ginny's body. It was her turn to make Ginny squirm.

Monday morning, Hermione, Ron and Harry were in Transfiguration. Just as they were about to leave, McGonagall spoke up.

"Mr. Weasley, can I speak to you for a moment?" They all exchanged confused looks but Ron just shrugged.

"I'll catch up with you guys later."

...a few minutes later...

"You see Ron? It's meant to be. All you need to do is show her," McGonagall said. Ron took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yeah. It's about time I guess. I'll do it. Thanks for the help professor."

Harry couldn't help but notice that after Ron's meeting with McGonagall, he was acting differently. He was much more quiet than normal and he kept watching Hermione. Harry had no idea what had gone on in that meeting but he figured he should ask, just in case. After dinner they were sitting in the library waiting for the girls, so Harry took his chance.

"Hey Ron, can I ask you something?"

"Sure mate. What is it?"

"You've been acting kind of strange this morning. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"I'm finally going to do it Harry."

"Do what?" Harry asked slightly nervous.

"I'm going to tell Hermione how I fell about her. You know that I've liked her for ages." Harry's eyes went wide.

"I'm not so sure that's a good idea mate."

"Why not?"

"Well, I'm just not sure its the right time. Hermione seems a bit...preoccupied with other things."

"I've got to Harry. If I don't do it soon, then I'll lose my courage and she'll never know. I've got to take a chance." Just then the girls arrived. Harry watched nervously, waiting for Ron to pull Hermione aside, but thankfully he didn't. Harry sighed and figured that he had chickened out for good. Unfortunately Harry was wrong.

Hermione was laying on her bed reading when she heard a knock on the door. I wonder who that could be, she thought. It couldn't be Ginny since she didn't knock. She just came right in whenever she wanted. Hermione got up and opened the door to find Ron looking nervous.

"Ron, are you ok?" Hermione asked.

"I'm fine. Can I talk to you?"

"Um, sure. Come on in." Hermione let him in and shut the door. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, I've been thinking about this for a while now and..." he froze, unsure of whether he should continue or not.

"And what? Ron are you sure you're ok?" Before Hermione could say anything, Ron had moved forward and was kissing her. She was shocked and her body was frozen. She couldn't move. She knew this was wrong and had to stop it before...

"What the hell is going on?" Ginny said loudly. Ron finally released Hermione and looked confusedly at his little sister. Hermione's eyes went wide as she realized the severity of the situation. She tried to speak but nothing was coming out.

"Hermione, are you going to say anything?" Ginny asked forcefully. Hermione started to speak but Ron cut her off.

"What is your problem Ginny?" Ginny looked at him as though she wanted to kill him.

"My problem? Maybe its the fact that I just found my girlfriend snogging my brother. Wouldn't you say that qualifies as a problem?"

"Your girlfriend?" Ron asked as he looked over at Hermione.

"Ron I was going to tell you..." Hermione said before being cut off again, this time by Ginny.

"Yeah she's my girlfriend. Maybe she forgot to mention that in the middle of your make out session."

"You're dating my sister?" Ron asked Hermione.

"Yes Ron, I was about to tell you..." Hermione started but was once again interrupted.

"Well she was dating your sister," Ginny said angrily. Hermione looked over at her horrified at what she had just heard.

"Ginny, wait. No, don't do this. Ginny wait!" Hermione called after her as the younger girl stormed out of the room.

"Hermione what..." Ron started.

"I can't talk to you right now," Hermione said as she ran out into the hallway. "Ginny stop. Can we please talk?" Hermione yelled after the girl, but Ginny didn't even slow down. Feeling defeated Hermione turned around and went back to her room to find Ron gone. She couldn't really blame him. He had just found out that the girl he liked was dating his sister. Hermione collapsed on her bed and groaned. She really needed to talk to Ginny, but she knew that she couldn't just yet. She would give her a little while to cool off before explaining things. Hermione only hoped that Ginny would listen to her. She hoped that this wasn't the end of their relationship already.
