Angel on Campus Keeperoliver Chapter 16

Luna's fascination and love of her new job, hadn't diminished. She still floated around the kitchen, as if she were dancing. Harry decided he was going to get her a radio to listen to, while she worked, so, she asked her if she would be alright for about an hour, by her self. She just waved by to him. Harry snickered as he felt, and went to the thrift store on campus, where students brought their used items to be sold for the school's supplies. Harry went to the electronics section, and found a used combination radio and cassette player, with several cassettes. It went for ten pounds, with the cassettes, so, he bought it. He brought it back to the kitchen, and Luna was thrilled that she could listen to music, while she danced her way through the kitchen. She hugged and thanked Harry for thinking about her.

Harry plugged the radio in, found the selector switch and put it on cassette, to play on of the tapes. It was one one by the Beatles. The best of, volume one.

As the music played, Luna's dancing became more lively, often grabbing Harry's hand, and getting him to dance with her. As time wore on, Harry could see the students get up and dance to the music, in the cafeteria. Just a few at first, but the numbers began to grow. They now had two reasons to come eat in the cafeteria, dinner and a dance. Harry would some times send Luna out, to dance with the students, which she happily complied. She was fast becoming as popular as Harry.

After work, the day he got the radio, he asked Luna of she minded if he left the kids with her, while he made a little trip. She didn't mind, and Harry flooed to the Leaky Cauldron. He waved to Tom, and continued to the back, where the entrance to Diagon Alley was. He tapped the stones he needed to gain access to the alley, and made his way to WWW. He found Verity hard at work, surrounded by adults and children alike. He laughed at her exasperated appearance. He waved to her, and she somehow saw it, and managed to wave back. He went to the back, and found George, Percy and Ron sitting there talking. "Hey guys, one of you needs to go give Verity a hand. She's swamped out there."

George asked Ron to go help, and he jumped up, and ran out there to give his assistance. "WOW, I never saw Ron move so fast to go to work. What's got over him?" Harry laughed.

George laughed as well, and Percy answered Harry's question, "George just made Ron a full partner, and he got excited. He really is a good worker, and since Pansy entered his life, he is full of energy. Of course, since Hermione entered George's life, he is the same way. I felt like that, when Penelope agreed to come back into my life, after my so called hiatus from my family. Life is great, isn't it Harry?"

"I couldn't agree more Perce. Listen, would you mind if I talked to George alone for a bit. It shouldn't take long?"

Percy got up and went to help Ron and Verity with the customers.

"Hey George, I have a question for you, and it's kind of personal. If you don't want to answer it, I will understand."

"Ask away, oh, almost brother of mine. I'm all ear."

Harry laughed at George's humor, concerning his missing ear. "You never stop do you? On a more serious note though, I wanted to ask you how you took the finding out about Hermione and Ginny's little love interest, while they were staying at Grimmauld Place?"

"Whoa, I was wondering when you would get around to asking that? To tell the truth Harry, it kind of turned me on, what with Fred and I being a bit kinky. Not in the sense that we got it on, but, we did share a few girls between us, taking turns with them. Hermione's confession took me by surprise, but., I warmed up to it, right away. I was kind of disappointed when she told me it was now over between them, since you and Ginny are together, and her and I are an item. Well more than an item. I'm going to ask her to marry me Harry."

Harry took George's hand and they shook them. Congratulations George. You got your self a real find in Hermione. She is one special witch. But, you sound like you wouldn't mind if they continued their relationship, if they wanted to?"

"I wouldn't mind it. Harry, for four years they only had each other for companionship. I don't know about you, but, I would never stop them if they wished to continue it, on a infrequent basis. You know, not too often. But, that's me. Like I said, I'm kinky."

"I know what you mean about the infrequent meetings, but, what if they discovered they liked their relationship more than they like the ones they have with us?"

"Good point Brother. I suppose it would hurt me for a while, but, I was alone when I found Hermione."

"I just don't want to lose Ginny again, now that she is back in my life. I fear that her and Hermione just may discover their feelings are stronger than they think. Ginny assured me that though she wouldn't mind continuing with their relationship, she would never do anything to separate us. I was thinking of letting them have their fun once a month. Sort of like an all girls night. What do you think?"

"I like that Harry, but, is it want the girls want? How do we ask if this is what they want?"

"I told Ginny that we all need to sit and talk. I think Friday night would be the best time. We have the party with Draco Saturday. I just want her to be happy. I am so confused right now. I feel like I have to let her do this, to be sure that I am the one she wants to be with."

"Harry, I think you are looking far too deep into this. They only did it to satisfy a need. I really don't think they love each other like that. Who knows, maybe they are through with it, and wish to settle down with us?"

"So, what do you think, have a sit down with them Friday evening, and discuss it with them?"

"I think we should Harry, and let them decide for them selves what they want to do."

"Alright then, I'll tell Ginny about dinner Friday, and you tell Hermione."

"See you Friday then, but, Harry, don't worry your self about it. The more you think on it, the worse it gets. Things will work out for the best."

Harry got up to leave, and tried to fight his way through the crowd of customers. He felt someone grab his arm, and turned around to see Ron, looking at him. "Harry, mate, when you get a chance, we need to talk. I owe you a whole heap of apologies. You may think I'm lying, but, I missed you over the years. I did a lot of soul searching, and realized that because of my stupidity, I lost my two best friends."

"Ya, Ron, I agree, we do need to talk. How about tomorrow evening, you and Pansy come to our house for dinner. Here's the address, and I will open the floo up for you. Is that alright?"

"You sure you want Pansy there?"

"Why wouldn't I, she is your girl friend isn't she?"

"No Harry, she is my wife. She found out she was pregnant, so we eloped. Even mom doesn't know, so kind of keep it to your self for the time being, I'll talk to Pansy, to see if she wants Ginny to know. George and Percy are the on;ly other people to know. I don't think they told Hermione or Penny yet."

"Mums the word mate. See you tomorrow."

Ron and Pansy walked through the floo, Pansy looking a little afraid of how she would be accepted byt the people she was about to meet. She had gone out of her way to make their life miserable, while they were in school. She has not seen them in over four years, and she wondered if they still held a grudge. She loved Ron, and for the life of her, she could not understand how he felt the same. It's like her mother said, Love blinds those involved to only see what they are now, and not what they were back then.

Pansy was surprised first by the beauty of the home they were in, and then by the hugs she received by both Ginny, and Harry. Even Luna gave her a hug. Their was not a look of disgust among them, only respect. "I want to thank you for inviting me Harry. I was surprised when Ron said you wanted me to come as well as him. And your home is magnificent. It's comfortable and cheery. I suppose that's the residents that provide that, but, it's still amazing."

"Thank you Pansy. It's like you said though, it's the company I keep that makes it a home. A house is not a home, unless there is loved to be shared by it's inhabitants."

Ron laughed, "Damn Harry, when did you get so deep, and profound. You almost sounded like Hermione there."

"Four years of growing up Ron. I had a lot of time to think about it. And while I have your attention, Pansy, I would like to meet James and Lillian, my cousins, Kids, this is Pansy, a friend of mine from school."

Pansy looked up sharply at this. Had he actually called her his friend. "Hello James, Lillian. It's Nice to meet you both." She still had the confused look on her face as she said this.

"It's nice to meet you Pansy." James said."

"Hello Pansy, Might I say you look beautiful, especially with that glow you have, almost like Luna's. Hers is purple, where yours is pink. Are you having a girl?"

Harry stuttered, "Lillian, apologize to Pansy. You don't talk like that to a person you just met."

Lillian started to cry, "I'm sorry Pansy. But you do look beautiful."

Pansy couldn't help it. he was crying and laughing at the same time. "Harry, she is fine. It's a little earlier than I expected to say it, but, yes, I am having a girl. Don't cry sweetheart, you only said what you saw, it's alright. Your mean old cousin shouldn't talk to you like that." She almost fell over backwards when Lillian said quite loudly.

"Harry is not mean. He loves James and I very much. Please don't talk like that about him."

Pansy laughed again, "I'm sorry Lillian and you too Harry. I was just trying to be funny Lillian, I meant no disrespect."

"Oh, well then I'm sorry for shouting at you, but, Harry is the greatest cousin we could have ever hoped for, and he would never say anything that would be mean."

"I understand. Perhaps now would be the time to explain some thing to you all. Ginny, Luna, Harry already knows, but, Ron and I are married. We eloped when we found out I was pregnant with his child. I love Ron very much, and when he found out, the first thing he did, was propose. We felt it would be better if we eloped, so that we wouldn't have to wait for preparations for a full wedding. Later on, we figured we could have a full blown wedding, for Mom to fuss over. At first, Molly wasn't too happy about us eloping, but, she understood, when we explained why we did it."

Luna and Ginny had her in another hug, and it lasted for a few minutes. Pansy was quickly starting to like this family relations stuff. What she expected, and what she got was so different, that she was crying. Of course being pregnant sort of does that to a woman. Emotional outbursts were common.

Dobby peeked through the door, and announced that dinner was ready, so they went to the dinning room. Pansy was getting use to surprises, so it was no surprise when she saw Dobby sit with the family when every one else was seated. The food was piled high, just the way Ron liked it. The meal was pleasant, and the talk was cheerful. After Dinner, they settled back in to the living room for Ron and Harry's talk.

"Harry, I have already apologised to Hermione, but, now, I have to do it to you and Ginny. Ginny, My actions are what got you and Hermione in hot water with mom, and for that I want to say I'm sorry. I know that we all had a hand in causing Harry to leave us for those four years. Harry, You were my best mate, and I knew you were hurting. Instead of being there for you, I was busy being a bit of an arse, excuse my language kids, but, the truth is, I was. And then after you left, and Draco made his speech, all I could think of was, Why had Draco sad anything, when Harry was alright with it. I didn't accept what I did for a few weeks after wards. Then it hit me. After all the funerals, I didn't think about it. It was after a visit from Andromeda that it hit me. Little Teddy was with out parents, you were without family, and now friends. and you were not shown any sympathy when you needed it the most. None of us were there when you needed a shoulder to cry on. It was strange when it took Draco Malfoy to point this out to us."

"Ron, I knew everyone had their own agendas for what we had lost. I just wanted to sit and talk to someone to get it off my chest. I'm over it now, and I don't want to relive that night ever again. It is in the past. I do want you to know, If it wasn't for that night, I would not have the family you see before you. For that, I will be forever grateful."

The rest of the evening passed and Ron and Pansy left. About an hour later, Rolf came in, wore out, but, grinning like he found a new species of magical creature. He sat and ate, while he explained why he was so late. He wanted his classroom set up, so that he would be able to start teaching on Monday. He said he had about a dozen students helping him, but, for the most part, they wanted him to talk about the creatures he and his father searched for. There were plans for a trip in early October that would last about two weeks. He found out that there would be about four trips a year lasting anywhere from two days, to two weeks. He apologised to Luna, but, she was pleased that Rolf was so happy. When he heard that Friday Hermione and George were coming over, he felt ashamed, as he had briefings that evening, and was still trying to get his class in order.

So when Friday came, it was just the five adults and two kids dining. After dinner, he sent James and Lillian up for a bath, and to get ready for bed.

George and Harry took a deep breath, and Harry started up. "Luna, you don't have to stay for this, but, I would appreciate you staying, as you are a very calming influence over people. Hermione, Ginny, George and I had a very interesting conversation on Wednesday, and we wanted to run it by you. It was me that brought it up. I love you both, but, Ginny is my main concern. I don't want to do anything that will drive a wedge between us, driving her away. After a talk we had the other night, I felt I needed to talk to George to get his take on the matter. We both agree, that if you, Hermione and Ginny wish to continue you relationship, we would like to come to terms with it."

George took over then, "Harry and I would like to offer you the chance to have Ladies Night once a month, where there are no men involved. Would you both agree to this?"

Hermione was biting her lip, but Ginny shouted, "NO, I DO NOT AGREE TO THIS. I told you Harry, Hermione and I both agreed that we would end it, and yesterday, we did just that. I would not want you to have any doubts about how I feel about you."

Harry wanted to reach out and hug Ginny for this. He was hoping she wouldn't agree. "Hermione, how about you? How do you feel about this?"

"Please don't ask me that Harry."

"Why not? You still have feelings for Ginny, don't you?"

"Yes,"

"And you didn't want it to end did you, Hermione?"

"Not completely. Eventually yes, but not for a while. Don't get me wrong, I love George, and want to be with him, but, what Ginny and I shared was special. I told her that we didn't really love each other like that, once, but, I lied. I saw her get her chance to be with you, and didn't want to get in the way with that. When she told me yesterday she wanted to end it, I inwardly cried, but, Sadly, I agreed with her. I think I have known all along, that I am a bisexual. The funny thing is though, I have only had sex with Ginny. George and I have fooled around, and came close a couple of times, but, we both stopped before it got out of hand, or beyond our hands. So, yes, I agreed, but it was with a broken heart that I did so."

Ginny and Luna were crying with Hermione, after this comment. "Ginny, after that, do you still want to disagree with our proposal?"

"Yes, Harry, I do. Hermione is hurting right now, but, she still has George to get her over it. I want to give us a fair go, Harry, and I feel that if Hermione and I are having sex, and we are not, that is not a fair chance. However, Harry, I will not wait forever for you, so we better get married very soon."

Luna wanted to share something with them, "Guys, I would like to make a confession to you all, if I may. Harry bought me a radio cassette player for work, and we have been dancing while we are at work."

George, Hermione and Ginny looked at her, then burst out laughing. Leave it to Luna, to get them out of their sour mood. Harry just hugged and kissed her.

Hermione then told Harry, "Ginny is right you know. I will get over it. And George will be the one to get me through it. I'm sure he told you he was kinky, Harry. You would not believe how true it is. His collection of toys would cause a hooker to blush. Can't Wait till were further along in our relationship to try them out."

"Oh, how far along would that be?" George asked with a very sneaky grin on his face.

"We'll just have to wait and see?"

"I'm sorry, I can't wait that long. Harry, this is it brother. Hermione Jean Granger, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Hermione sat there in shock, and Ginny and Luna were giggling at the look on her face.

Finally Hermione managed to eap out a tepid yes for an answer.

George simply said, "Say what, I didn't hear that."

"YES ARSE HOLE, I will marry you. Did you hear me that time?"

"Yes my love, loud and clear."
