sorry this chapter took so long... I kept writing it in little pieces at a time and I had to find a way to put them together smoothly. I do hope you enjoy this chapter. I loved writing about the four's friend ship. In case you didn't notice, in this story, Ron and Fleur are together, and Harry and Cho... but stay tuned there's a surprise there
"Griffindor wins the House Cup!" Dumbledore announced excitedly. The entire Griffindor house gave a standing ovation to themselves along with their beloved Head of House. Dumbledore's words were drowned out as Pavarti and Lavender listened to Hermione and her explanation of the Order and how they had finally defeated You-Know-Who.
"Well we figured out why..." Hermione brought her voice down to a whisper. "Lord Voldemort went after the Potters and the Longbottoms. The four of them destroyed three of his horcruxes, therefore defying him three times. He planned on killing off the Potters, but he didn't know that the Longbottoms helped. It's wasn't until after his supposed death that the Lestrange family found Aurthor Weasley, forced out the truth, and went after the Longbottoms. When we started up The Order again we had a lot of the original members, but Harry thought that it would be safer for the other Order members if he just went in search for the last horcrux on his own. Naturally, Ginny, Ron and I, went with him. The Order members refused to let Harry battle against Voldemort alone. Dumbledore and McGonagall managed to locate and arrest all of the Death Eaters except for Snape. Sirius did manage to find him though, and with proper use of the Veritaserum, found Voldemort's location. Sirius did also manage to find out that Snape was the keeper of the locket, the seventh horcrux. Sirius and Snape went head to head in a duel and, just before Snape was able to finish Sirius off, Mcgonagall bursted in and disarmed Snape and had him arrested. Harry and Ron went in search for the locket and I stood at St. Mungo's assisting Madam Pomfrey. When Harry found the locket, Voldemort was there. He used a binding charm on Voldemort and distroyed the locket. He, then, waited for Voldemort's arrest. All the Death Eaters were sentenced to death by the Dementor's kiss." Parvati and Lavendar stood with their mouth's agape.
"Blimey! All that happened within seven months?" Pavarti said, trying to be as quiet as possible. The girls got distracted when they heard Hermione's name being called out by Minerva. Hermione's eyes traveled up to where Minerva was standing. A long red and gold medal dangled from her hands. Hermione stood up and walked over to the woman she loved more than words can say. Minerva's breath caught in her throat when Hermione came in to view. The champagne dress the younger woman wore, clung to her every curve. Even though it was quite simple, there were no patterns or designs besides the short train and the mid cut sleeves, Minerva couldn't help but stare. When Hermione was at Minerva's side, she turned around to allow the older woman to place the medal around her neck. When Minerva finished an applause roared from the other students. Minerva smiled and pulled Hermione towards her for a brief hug.
"You look lovely." Minerva whispered against the younger woman's curls. Hermione blushed and returned to her seat. The ceremony and feast were a blur to Hermione. She couldn't keep her mind nor eyes off of Minerva. She thought back to the feel of Minerva's arms wrapped around her and the sound of her whisper.
"Where had she gone to?" Harry waved his hand in front of Hermione's face.
"She's thinking of Minerva." Ron dragged the professor's name longer than he needed to Fleur rolled her eyes. Ginny nudged Harry and smirked.
"Here comes Professor McGonagall!" Ginny almost shouted and Hermione jumped back to reality. Ron chuckled lightly when Hermione play pouted. Fleur turned to Ron and began whispering with an annoyed look on her face.
"That's not funny." Hermione whined while Ginny's shoulders shook with laughter.
"On the contrary, my dear. It's hilarious." Hermione threw a glare Ginny's way.
"I knew you were going to be a bloody pain. Why don't you go home then?" Ron practically shouted toward Fleur.
"I will if you keep acting stupid!" Fleur walked away and headed to the girls lavatory. With her eyebrows raised, Hermione turned to Harry.
"Aren't you glad that, Cho decided to act like a troll before she came?" Harry nodded and turned his attention to Hermione.
"So, you really like her?" Hermione blushed and straightened her posture then slouched again.
"You can't really blame me, right Harry?" Hermione looked at the young man questioningly. Harry nodded, trying to be convincing.
"Oh, yeah. She's hot!" Hermione glared at him. Ron chuckled and looked over at Minerva and noted Nevile standing aside her. The older woman stood up as her fingers worked the cat shaped, black diamond, button off and slipped her robe off her shoulders.
"Oy Look" Ron tapped Hermione lightly. "She's taking off her robe, she never takes off her robe." Ron pointed out and Hermione turned instantly. Minerva turned and rested her robe on the back of the seat she was just occupying. Ginny raised her eyebrow and smirked.
"Where in the bloody hell has she been hiding that?" Ron practically yelled.
At first glance, Minerva's dress looked simple. It was just a long, well fitted, black, turtle neck gown with a black diamond belt. That was Hermione's mistake, she assumed and boy did it make an ass out of her. Once Minerva had turned around, Hermione's jaw hit the floor. There was a slight oval opening at the back Minerva's gown, following her spine from the base of her neck to the small of her back. Just below stood a black diamond cat, with emerald eyes, whose tail made its way around Minerva's hips. Oh, how Hermione wanted to trail the exposed flesh with her lips and trace the feline's tail with her fingers. Minerva's hips slightly swayed as she walked, drawing attention to the split that was about the length of her legs. It was just a foot below the shimmering tabby, and from there to the floor there was a sufficient amount of bare legs to leave the young woman wanting more. Hermione bit her bottom lip; she felt hot suddenly. Ginny nudged Hermione as she chuckled. No one noticed Fleur's return from the ladies room.
"Ye look like she just gave you an aussie!" Harry nearly spit out his drink.
"Gin, don't tease." Ron tried to be serious, but ended up laughing anyway. Fleur stuck her nose in the air and rolled her eyes.
"little boys" She mumbled as tried her best to separate herself from them, which only made them laugh harder. Furious, she finally left without a word to Ron.
'I wish..." Hermione's response was a bit delayed and not meant to be heard. Ginny looked over at the brunette with wide eyes and began shaking with laughter.
"She's got it bad." Harry mumbled and Hermione turned to him.
"Oh, what are you on about?" She glanced over at Minerva once more then turned back to Harry. "It's not everyday you see your professor out of her element." Ron smirked.
"I think it's more like 'It's not every day you see you're professor wearing her element'." Ron snickered slightly.
"I think the elements wearing her..." Harry mumbled and Hermione had to suppress the urge to roll her eyes.
"Showing her element..." Ginny looked over at Minerva and tilted her head slightly. "sss" she added. Hermione backhanded Ginny's arm.
"Ginerva Weasley!" Ginny pointed in Minerva's direction and Hermione followed with her eyes. There she was, sporting a rare smile and being twirled dizzy. Her dress, caught up by wind and pulling at the split, exposed the curves of the back of her thighs. Hermione's heart jumped to her throat. Nevile had the pleasure of guiding Minerva's step; the young woman felt a pang of jealousy hit her like lightening.
"This is just to much; I can't bare it." Hermione began walking off in the direction of the entrance. Harry and Ron took off after her and Ginny slipped off in the direction of the cause of Hermione's pain.
I'll let y'all to figure out what an "aussie" is. I'll just give you one clue: Aussie is short for Aussie Kiss
