Chapter 21 Quidditch and Sex
December came and with it a sense of calm. The Goblin had been interrogated with Veritaserum; though it did little good since the Goblin only knew that Voldemort was going to march on Hogwarts. The snow came early and the few who knew thanked Blaise for it since it was one of the few joys they had left. Trips to Hogsmeade had not been cancelled but no one was allowed to travel alone anymore- and no one wished to break that rule knowing that it would bring them torture and death at the hands of Voldemort or one of his Death Eaters. So training continued with stronger hope and those in charge continued to prepare for the worst.
"This is your last chance." Ginevra said standing before everyone ion the Great Hall. "Tomorrow the train will leave Hogsmeade station and anyone who is not on board will be stuck here. Think long and hard about what you want to do, your life is in your own hands, not mine or anyone else's. Not everyone will make it out of this alive, so be very sure you want to take the risk. The fear of war and death has lessened of late and although that makes training easier I want to make sure you understand what war is. This isn't a duel or a fight between siblings or friends; it is a fight to the death between enemies. War is cold, cruel death, but it is not pointless. Anyone who dies in battle, be they on our side or not, will have died fighting for what they believed in and that is a good death. There is honor in a death like that, but make no mistake it will most likely be a very painful death. We will all be injured in this fight, myself included, and some will die. So ask yourself if you are willing to die for this cause, but more importantly ask yourself if you can kill for this cause. The train leaves tomorrow after lunch, if you aren't on it, be prepared to kill or be killed because we fight for loved ones lost, for the ones we still have, for ourselves, for Hogwarts, and for the world- wizard and muggle alike. If we fall, the world falls." She looked out at them and turned to leave when a shout made her turn back.
"Can we win this war?" the voice sounded familiar but she couldn't place it.
"We can."
"How many will die?" another voice she couldn't place.
"Many, too many."
"And would you die to win this war?" the crowd parted to show a group of cloaked figures.
"I would, and I might."
"Oh alright."
"We were only checking." The twins said as the entire group through their hoods back.
"It's a Gryffindor invasion." Draco mumbled causing Blaise to snort. Fred, George, Angelina, Katie, Lee Jordan, and Oliver strode forward.
"At your service My Lady." Fred and George said in unison as they curtsied. Gin laughed and the twins wrapped her in a tight hug. They pulled back,
"So what's up?"
"Yea, how's war?"
"Exhausting." They joined the others and left the Great Hall. "I don't wanna go to the Dungeons just yet, how 'bout a game of Quidditch?" she asked. Everyone shouted some form of agreement and Hermione sighed. "If Lee doesn't want to play you can sit with him, alright?" she said to the older girl and Hermione nodded then looked around.
"Where'd they all go?"
"Off to get their brooms. We might as well head to the Pitch; they'll be right behind us. The girls arrived at the Pitch just as everyone else was jumping off their brooms.
"Here, Love." Draco said handing Gin her broom.
"Thanks. Lee, are you gonna play?"
"Nah, I gotta see this."
"Ok so 'Mione you can sit with him." She looked around and frowned. "That makes it eleven, my team will go lighter than yours." She said turning to Potter. "I want Draco, Blaise, Charlie, and Oliver everyone else is yours. Sound fair?"
"Yea, sure." Gin turned back to her team and they huddled.
"Alright so Draco's seeker, Oliver you're keeper obviously, Charlie you'll be the only beater and Blaise and I will be chasers. That work for everyone?" They all nodded. "Now let's play some Quidditch." She smirked and turned to face the other team.
They all rose into the air and she shook hands with Potter and nodded to Lee who unleashed the balls.
Blaise had the quaffle and was streaking off down the field before anyone had realized what happened. He dropped it to Gin who caught her brother off guard and scored. Angelina recovered it and took off but lost it almost as quick. Gin passed to Blaise who passed it back over Katie's head. Gin caught it and flew around Ron a few times and dropped the ball to Blaise who scored without Ron even noticing.
Fred and George couldn't follow Blaise or Gin so they took to aiming at Charlie and Draco instead. Resulting in the former hitting it towards Angelina causing George to fly over to protect her and the latter who just used Potter for a shield.
Oliver just sat watching the game occasionally dodging a bludger.
Hermione tried to follow the entire game for once, especially since Lee wouldn't shut up about it.
"Damn did you see that?! They're like one and they're fast! I mean score already ninety to zero and Angie's the best chaser I've ever seen, well 'til now of course." Draco laughed as Potter scanned the Pitch.
'You guys ready to win yet?' Draco called out to everyone causing Charlie to nearly miss a bludger and Oliver to drop ten feet but both nodded. Ginevra and Blaise each gave him a 'yea' and he dove. Potter followed blindly after him but failing to keep up for the first time.
Draco was seeing in shades of blue but was starting to get woozy so he let his eyes go back to normal. Potter was starting to catch up, having finally caught sight of the golden ball himself. They swerved and rose and fell and twisted and even did a zigzag through all the players before dropping again. Potter pushed past Draco who stopped to watch the snitch and then took off in a different direction. The snitch tried to out maneuver Potter who was still trailing it but settled for an abrupt change of direction, which slowed him down a little. It was half way across the Pitch when Draco came out of no where and cut it off. He curled his fingers around the tiny ball and looked up in time to see Potter heading at him full speed.
Harry was too close to change directions or stop so he hoped Draco would move he braced for impact but it never came. Instead there was just a very cold feeling covering him from head to feet. He tried to open his eyes but he couldn't, tried to move but his body didn't seem to work. He felt himself falling through the air and then a warm feeling cancelling out cold. He opened his eyes to see his hands were still frozen, literally, and he had water dripping from his hair. Everyone was shouting about how amazing the Slytherins were when Harry finally came out of his daze.
"That was incredible, absolutely amazing!" Lee was saying.
"Did you know we were amazing?" Blaise asked Draco.
"Not a clue. Gin?"
"That depends, what're we talking about?" she slapped their asses and took off running to the Castle, Draco and Blaise right behind her.
"Oi! My sister had better still be innocent!!" Ron shouted after them.
"Why? You aren't." Hermione said louder than she meant to and everyone turned to face a very red Ron.
"Ha ha, little brother,"
"Took you long enough." The twins said. Gin turned around, almost to the Castle and shouted,
"Hey Charlie, room with Ron tonight!" she squealed as Blaise swept her off her feet and threw her over his shoulder, still running.
"She's fifteen, right?" Charlie asked his brothers.
"Yepp" Fred and George said.
"It doesn't matter. She…She…with them…. Oh Gods mum's gonna kill me for lettin' this happen." Ron went pale and looked at them.
"Little brother,"
"Mum's been giving her contraceptive potions since she came back second year…."
"She's been expecting it…."
"She'll be relieved."
"And proud that she lasted this long." The twins stopped speaking as one and Charlie chuckled.
"I'm surprised either of you made it this far without sex." He started laughing.
"Yea, Hermione…there's a shocker."
"Yea…been waitin' on that one for years!"
"Never thought she'd give it 'til she was married…"
"Ya did good little brother."
Ron was blushing, "Alright, can we talk about something else now?..."
"Aww…that's sweet,"
"Shut it you two. If he's uncomfortable that's fine leave him alone or I'll tell Angelina and Katie you were givin' him hell and then neither of you will be gettin' any."
"Damn Charlie- you're not getting' any either are ya?"
"What about Tonks- thought you had the hots for her?"
"Shut up." Charlie said stiffly.
"Guess he still does." Fred whispered.
"She's here somewhere... with the Order…."
"Ya know there's a war comin'…you might wanna get some now while you still can."
"Regrets regrets…." The twins watched as the wheels turned in Charlie's head and he turned towards the door.
"Not a word." He said and opened the door.
"Go Charlie!"
"My Hero." The twins called after him.
The eldest Weasley flipped off his younger brothers as he shut the door behind him and made his way downstairs to the Gryffindor common room.
"Hey Harry, do you know where the Order is staying? I'm lookin' for Tonks."
"As far as I know everyone's staying in the Dungeons- sorry mate you might try Dumbledore."
"Alright, thanks man." He left and made his way through the corridors and down the staircases remembering easily where the Headmaster's office was. "Ok… now what's the password? It's always some kind of candy…" the gargoyle hopped aside. "Huh…good thing I talk to myself…" he mumbled and climbed the stairs. He knocked on the door and was told to enter. "Sorry Sir, I was just wondering where the members of the Order are staying."
"Looking for someone in particular? I'm surprised Harry didn't let you use his map… wonder if he's forgotten about it… anyways… who did you say you were looking for?"
"I didn't… but since you'll find out anyways I was looking for Tonks."
"Ah, I believe she is staying with Narcissa and Selena. They're in the Dungeons behind a portrait of Salazar Slytherin."
"Thank you."
"Charlie, there is a room ready for you a few doors down from them behind a suit of armor- the password is love." The old man said, his eyes twinkling with renewed fervor and Charlie turned a light pink. He cleared his throat,
"Thank you, good night- oh and Happy Christmas."
Charlie made it to the Dungeons and knocked on the portrait and Selena opened it. She grinned and stuck her head back inside,
"Tonks, there's an attractive Weasley here for you- goes by the Charlie." She smiled at him and went back inside as Tonks stepped out.
"Hey, Charlie what's up?" she said blushing.
"You're blushing." He grinned.
"Yea…what's your point?"
"You're blushing over me." He looked at her and she rolled her eyes.
"You're awfully sure of…." She was cut off by his lips on hers.
"Come to my room?" he whispered in her ear and pulled back to look her in the eyes.
"Be a one night stand, fuck you." She said her voice cracking. He cupped her cheek,
"No, be mine." He gave her a soft kiss, "Be with me." He whispered, his forehead on hers, their eyes locked.
"God damn Weasleys." She smiled and a tear rolled down her cheek. She shut the door on the giggling women in the room and following Charlie down the hall.
After breaking the bed back in they moved to the bathroom to shower but got side tracked somewhere between getting in and the getting washed part. "Ok, as much fun as this is, I really need to get clean. I've got things to do- not like that, morons, that's why I have you two."
Another ten minutes and she was out the door heading for the Hospital Wing. "Hi Madam Pompfrey, umm yea…. I need more contraceptive potions and I need to see if I'm pregnant. I'm guessing I forgot or something and I threw up the other morning so could you check?"
"Have a seat Miss Weasley." The woman took out her wand and muttered a spell and a yellow light formed, it was hovering in front of Ginevra's abdomen.
"What does that mean?" Gin asked hesitantly.
"Hold on." Madam Pompfrey got closer and looked hard at the light and she smiled. "Yes, you're pregnant- twins it looks like. Quite a few weeks along."
"Can you tell what sex?"
"Both it seems, a girl and a boy."
"I want to know who the father is without him knowing, is that possible?"
"You don't know who the father is?" she said in a condescending tone.
"It's one of two people but that isn't the point. Can it be done?" Ginevra glared at the woman.
"Yes, yes, I'll need some blood from one of the babies."
"Ok… how are you gonna do that?" she asked and the woman held up a long needle. "Oh fuck that!"
"Dear, we're witches. You won't feel a thing." Ginevra grabbed the front of the nurse's robes and pulled her close.
"If I do, you'll feel it too." She whispered in her ear and let her go. Madam Pompfrey looked at her with wide eyes and nodded.
"Ok, now take off your clothes and we'll get this over with." Twenty minutes later Gin was headed back to the Dungeons with a bag full of vials.
I know you don't want to hear it, but I did it for you my love, our Dragon, and, if I'm right, my mum as well. Please forgive me, I will love you always.
Blaise
He finished writing, sealed the envelope, and began the next one, a tear rolling down his cheek.
Hello My Dragon,
Draco sat on the couch with his and Blaise's mother. "You three are so cute." Selena said.
"Yes, so you've said for the last ten minutes. I came here for a reason- so here we go…. Mum, I want you t be happy again- so I'll kill him and set us free. With him gone, we can have our own lives, we can be with the ones we love." Draco said and Selena laughed,
"He knows!"
"I'll find a way to be with Gin and Blaise, and you can finally be with Severus."
"Wow, I think my son just gave me his approval." The women laughed and Draco stood,
"Incase I'm busy all day tomorrow, Happy Christmas." He walked back to his room and entered in time to see Blaise close his chest. "Hey, Gin back yet?"
"Nope, what'd she need anyways?"
"Prolly more contraceptive potions at the rate we go…." Gin walked in to hear Draco's last comment and smirked.
"Talking about how much sex we have again? Didn't I tell you it's just called having a healthy sex life- there's nothing wrong about it- no matter how much we have."
"Never said any of it was wrong- sex with either of you could never be wrong." Blaise laughed out.
The alarms sounded for the wards- they'd had Dumbledore add them to the list of people alerted- they looked at each other scared and ran from the room, Gin leaving her bag behind. They ran to Dumbledore's office, Severus and the others behind them. When they burst through the door Dumbledore was not behind his desk but the door to the balcony was open. They walked cautiously outside and found Dumbledore looking out at the army behind the protective wards.
"They are here." He whispered.
"Of all the nights to start a war, Christmas Eve?" Blaise said softly.
"Doesn't matter- we have to get moving before those wards give in. We need to get the house-elves and anyone that's going to be healing into the edge of the forest, now." Narcissa nodded and her and Selena left. "I don't want this war to go on forever, I want it over within a month or we'll never last." Ginevra whispered staring out at the army.
