Chapter 9 – Confessions

The following week the two couples ramped up their house search. Dinner at the Burrow had been difficult, but had actually helped to pull them closer as they all leanad on each other while they hid their secrets from everyone else. They were growing together as a family daily and were ready to move to a permanent home for all of them. Viktor was between seasons and Charlie, Ginny and Luna all took time off for several afternoons to allow time to house hunt. Finally, on a Thursday afternoon, they found a place that excited all of them. The house was a classic English country manor originally built 110 years previous with several additions and numerous renovations since. It was a sprawling affair with three floors. The lower floor included a country kitchen, parlor, living room, dining room, library and a small maid's room and bath. The second floor offered three large bedrooms and two baths with an open space between all the rooms. A central stairway made from black poplar connected all three floors. The third level was tucked under the eaves and divided into two sides, each of which housed a modest bedroom with en-suite bathroom. It was located on an acre of land in Chippenstead Downs, south of London. The property was level and lightly wooded in an area where a number of magical families were mixed sparsely through the wooded countryside with a Muggle village nearby as well. The price was well within their budget and they quickly put an offer on the house. On Friday afternoon, Viktor was home when their broker called on floo and advised that the house was theirs as soon as the paperwork was finalized. Viktor quickly sent a patronus to his three partners and they all left work early and joined him at the flat before leaving together for the broker's office. Shortly before four, they officially became property owners and left the office to celebrate.

Viktor directed them to an eastern European restaurant on the west side of the city that served a mix of Bulgarian, Russian, Romanian and Czech cuisine. He and Charlie ordered in Bulgarian and the restaurant proprietor was beside himself when he found out that Viktor Krum was in his restaurant. They spent a pleasant evening eating, drinking and celebrating their new house. By the end of the night, Luna was the only one sober due to her pregnancy and she helped her three partners back to the flat. As Charlie and Viktor made their way to their bedroom, Luna dragged Ginny into their room and began snogging her immediately. Ginny was comfortably intoxicated, but Luna's urgency sobered her a bit as she immediately responded to her partner.

"Wow Luna, you are on fire tonight. Talk about hot."

"Gods Ginny, you have no idea. It must be my hormones. I need to you so badly."

Ginny began undressing her lover, planting kisses as she went. When she reached Luna's breasts, Luna whined at Ginny's touch.

"Wow, you really are sensitive. I didn't think that happened until later in the pregnancy."

"Don't know, don't care. Please Ginny, no more foreplay, just make love to me."

Ginny smiled and quickly finished undressing Luna and herself. Then she lay Luna on the bed and positioned herself under Luna in a 69. Ginny began to lick Luna and felt Luna start teasing her as well. Knowing Luna's need, Ginny didn't waste time and began working Luna's clit while also taking several fingers and stroking Luna inside. Luna came quickly and continued to suck on Ginny as she buckled underneath her lover. Ginny was close to cumming when sounds from across the hall invaded.

"Oh fuck Vik, harder! Ream me! Merlin yes!"

"Oh hell yes, open your ass for me! Ahhh, cum..cumming. Oh my Charliiiieee!"

The sound of her brother and Viktor sent Ginny over the edge as she came on Luna's face. She lay panting for a few minutes before turning around to snog Luna. Luna broke away for a minute as groans started again from across the hall.

"Wow, I knew the guys were pissed. They forgot the privacy charm. I don't mind though, it's turning me on. What about you Ginny?"

"Gods Luna, I hate to admit it since I just listened to my brother get shagged, but yes, it's quite arousing. And from the look of your nipples you are ready to go again."

"Oh yes Ginny, but I need to confess something."

"Yes?"

"Right now I want to switch. I want to try both ways in one night. I've never done that before. But, I don't want to do anything you don't want."

"Ooh, that does sound interesting. Why don't we see if the guys are at a good point for us to intrude."

Luna grinned and jumped out of the bed. "I'll go and see if they want to. If I don't come back, then Viktor will be coming over instead."

Ginny groaned at the idea and began to finger herself as she watched Luna's perfect bum walk out of the room.

Luna reached the guys door and heard nothing from inside, so she knocked. "Viktor! Charlie! Can I come in?"

A mumbled assent answered Luna and she opened the door. The two men were twisted around each other on the bed, with Charlie's muscled back visible on top. Luna groaned. She needed him so bad. "Viktor, Charlie, we were wondering if you want to switch now. I know we've never done a middle of the night switch, but Ginny and I want to try. My hormones are going crazy right now and I can't drink anything to dull myself."

Viktor looked up at Luna and saw the hunger in her eyes. He gave Charlie a look and Charlie smiled back at him. With Charlie in agreement, Viktor gave him a deep kiss and climbed out of the bed. He crossed the room and couldn't help himself as he passed the gorgeous, naked blonde. He took Luna in his arms and snogged her deeply, while running his hands across her ass. His partial erection immediately came to full attention and he groaned. Luna pulled away and smiled at him. "Go Viktor! Ginny will take care of that for you." Then Luna crossed the room and let Charlie pull her down on the bed. Charlie began to massage her breasts, but stopped when he saw a hint of pain in Luna's eyes.

"It's okay Charlie, you just have to be a bit more tender. I told you my hormones are doing crazy things to me. I never knew just how much pregnancy changes woman. I need you desperately, but Ginny gave me my first release, so can we go a bit slower?"

Charlie smiled and put his hand on her belly. She wasn't showing yet, but the thought that she carried his child and the changes it was making in her was highly erotic. He slowed himself down and began to lavish gentle kisses all over Luna while she took him in hand and worked him up to full hardness. He then entered her slowly and marveled at how wet she was from her first go with Ginny. Then he began to set a gentle, but insistent rhythm that lasted much longer than they had ever gone before. When Luna finally came, it was sudden and powerful. She clamped down tight on him and sent Charlie shooting off inside her.

Across the hall, Viktor had reached Ginny and found her with eyes closed and bucking against her hand. He tiptoed over silently and crawled up on top of her. Ginny opened her eyes briefly, until Viktor told her to close them again. He hovered over her for a few minutes, suckling her breasts while she pumped his cock. Ginny was oddly turned on by the fact that his cock was already coated in fluids from his earlier rounds with Charlie. Then Viktor pulled her hand back as he moved up to her mouth and drove his tongue into her. As they snogged, he plunged his aching erection deep into her in one unexpected movement. Ginny's eyes were still closed and the shock of his sudden entrance sent her into an immediate orgasm. She tried screaming, but Viktor kept sucking on her mouth and the scream died before it started. She was writhing underneath Viktor as he kept pumping into her without ceasing to allow her to come down from her climax. The feeling was painful, but incredible as his pounding kept extending her climax much longer than usual. As Viktor felt himself about to go, he reached between them and tweaked her clit. Then he shot his load and Ginny yanked her mouth off his as she threw her head back with a glass shattering howl. It took many minutes before she finally came down from her high and her muscles finally released to allow Viktor to slip out. Viktor was completely spent and didn't even bother to move as they fell asleep immediately.

Viktor awoke the next morning, a bit bleary from the alcohol, but also wonderfully satisfied from an amazing night of lovemaking. He ran his hands down Ginny and she awoke with a smile. Feeling his morning wood stiffen against her, Ginny pushed him away. "Last night was amazing Viktor. Now you go find Charlie and get him to take care of that in your shower and send Luna to me."

Viktor smiled, kissed her once more with a groan and left the room. A few minutes later, Luna appeared and dragged Ginny to the shower. They spent a good while satisfying Luna's continued hunger before finally washing and getting dressed. They had taken so long that Ginny was late on arriving at the shop. Thankfully, Leana was already there and had the place ready to open. On seeing her boss walk in the door, Leana smiled. "Good morning Ginny. Looks like you had a good night."

Ginny looked at Leana and saw her knowing look. The two women had become friends and Ginny appreciated the older woman's knowledge and assistance around the shop. "Um, yes, it was a good night Leana, but am I that obvious?"

Leana laughed. "I've got a couple decades experience on you. I just know the look of a woman who has been well shagged."

Ginny groaned. "Maybe I'll go in the back for a while and try to calm down and appear more professional."

"Whatever. I don't mind. You're a lucky woman and whoever your man is is lucky as well."

Ginny decided not to comment as she thought to herself 'If only Leana knew.'

The following weekend the foursome began packing the flat in preparation for their move the following week. They didn't have near enough furniture for the new house, but had decided to move in with what they had and gradually furnish the house over time. On Saturday afternoon, as Ginny stood in the hall using her wand to move boxes, someone knocked on the door. Temporarily shocked, Ginny faltered and allowed the box to fall. Charlie and Viktor came out of the living room and Luna poked her head out of the bedroom. They all looked puzzled and a bit concerned. Due to their secrecy, the couples never had outside visitors and wondered who was calling. Ginny was the closest, and made her way to the door. She cast a quick transparency spell and saw Hermione waiting, tapping her foot.

"Um, it's Hermione. What do I do?"

Charlie arrived behind her. "Better let her in. Pissing off Hermione is not wise."

Ginny nodded and opened the door. "Oh, hello Hermione. This is a bit of a surprise. Um, please come in and um, excuse the mess."

Hermione entered and looked around at the boxes strewn in the hallway. "Hello Ginny, hi Charlie. I decided I needed to come talk to you, but obviously you are busy. It looks like you're moving?"

Then a small crash and a muttered curse echoed down the hall from the living room.

Hermione's eyes widened. "Viktor! Is that you?"

Viktor stepped out of the living room and gave Hermione a brief smile. Ginny realized that they were about to be found out and decided they should at least do things on their terms. She glanced at Charlie and motioned to Hermione with a tip of her head while also raising an eyebrow. Charlie understood her question and nodded with a small sigh.

Ginny steeled herself and decided to take control of the situation. "Okay Hermione, I guess we need to talk. Let's go in the living room." "Luna! You might as well come out."

They entered the living room and Viktor waved his wand to clear the seats. Luna stepped in just behind Charlie and they all sat down. Hermione looked around at the four of them and was momentarily speechless, allowing Ginny a chance to begin explaining.

"Alright Hermione, you were right when we talked at the Burrow. We haven't been completely honest. I'm going to explain, but I ask that you let each of us talk before you question us. Also, I have to ask for your promise to keep this between us for now. Agreed?"

"Ginny! That's a lot to ask. Do you want me to lie to my husband, your brother?"

"Well, not lie. Just withhold. For a while. I guess we'll need to work on a long term solution, but can you please agree for now?"

"Okay fine. I agree. And I'll keep quiet while you all explain. I don't know what exactly is going on, but I am fairly certain that I'm probably not prepared. Anyway, go ahead."

Ginny turned to her partners. "How do we want to do this? Who wants to go first?"

"You start Ginny, then we'll each add our parts as needed."

Ginny turned back to Hermione. "Well, as you see, the four of us are all sharing the flat. You knew of course that Charlie and I were both here and you probably assumed Luna was here, or at least a frequent visitor, but I don't think you knew Viktor was here." Ginny paused and looked at her brother.

"Yes, the flat was actually mine and Viktor's first Hermione. We moved in about eight months before Ginny's accident. Viktor and I have been together for almost three years now. I can see you are shocked. The answer is yes, we are gay, or mostly gay. Some would call us bisexual, but I'm not fond of labels. I just know who I love. Like I explained to Ginny when she first moved in, I am about 80/20. Viktor is somewhere around there as well. We both enjoy women on occasion, but we are in love with each other. I kept my secret hidden until Ginny unexpectedly found Viktor and I together when she came to visit about a year ago. Now I'll let her continue."

Ginny looked at Hermione and saw she was stunned and a bit pale. "Luna love, can you get Hermione some wine please. I think she needs it. Now, for the next part of our story. So, I found out about Viktor and Charlie, but accepted it and moved in. They had plenty of space here and I was being smothered at home. The three of us settled in amazingly well together and I got to know Viktor and developed a friendship with him. About two weeks after I moved in, his new season started, leaving Charlie and I here together, although Charlie traveled for work quite a bit. During that time, I bought my shop and began rebuilding my life. Around the same time, I reunited with Luna and our relationship blossomed again. Although I hadn't told Charlie, the reason I was able to accept him and Viktor, is that I am also bisexual, if you want to call it that. I mainly prefer women, but also like some occasional variety. Luna and I had been in an on and off relationship due to my traveling with Quidditch, but once I settled we were able to focus on our relationship. Luna became a regular guest at the flat and she fit in well. When Charlie realized that Luna's house had been turned into a giant printing operation, he and Viktor offered for her to move in permanent, which she did about ten months ago. I'll let her and Viktor talk now."

Viktor spoke up first. "When Luna first moved in, we decided it was going to be on a trial basis, just to see how it worked. It became quite obvious within a month that we are all compatible and living together was quite comfortable. The only issue we had was the fact that all four of us have some attraction to the opposite sex. For me, I had been attracted to Ginny from the time she moved in, but thought she was off limits as Charlie's sister. Once Luna moved in, I saw that Charlie was attracted to her. We had a number of incidents during those first months that caused a bit tension in our household. Finally, we all sat down and confessed our feelings. As we did, we came to a mutual agreement that we'd all like to try an occasional switch up. So I spent a night with Ginny and Luna spent a night with Charlie and then the next morning we returned to our own rooms, cleaned up and showered with our own partners. The first night was wonderful, but a bit awkward. We talked a lot afterward and worked through our feelings. Since then we have switched up a number of times and it's now an accepted fact of our partnership. Besides the sex, we've been through a lot together and we are genuinely all in love. The love that Charlie and I have is different from what I feel for Ginny and Luna, but I do love them as well." As Viktor finished, Charlie moved over next to him and kissed him deeply.

Luna spoke up next. "So, now my turn. You need to know Hermione that I have loved Ginny for years, but the past year has been amazing as we have finally been able to pursue our relationship. The added aspect of growing to love Charlie and Viktor was a surprise. I fought it for a while, but once we all voiced our feelings and started switching, it suddenly felt like everything fell into place. I spend most my nights with Ginny, but three of four times a month I will spend time with Charlie. Which is how I ended up pregnant. I won't give you all the details, but Viktor was on the road and Ginny was busy. Charlie was missing Viktor badly and neither of us took the time to even cast a silence charm. We slipped up one time and that was all it took. I was quite upset when I found out, but all my partners were amazingly supportive and we are all going to raise this child together. He or she will have four loving parents. That is also why we are packing. Earlier this week we finalized the paperwork and bought a house south of the city where we can all live as a family. And we have discussed the potential of future children. We're going to wait a while, but we are all open to having more."

With the four partners having all spoken, they turned and smiled at Hermione, waiting for her response. Hermione refilled her wine glass before taking a deep breath. "WOW. I said I probably wasn't prepared and I definitely wasn't. I guess this explains a few things. I knew when I saw Viktor at the Burrow that something didn't seem right between him and Ginny, Viktor just seemed way too tense. You all did well with the act, but I know both of you too well. Now this puts me in a predicament. I can understand why you have kept this a secret, but now that I know, what do I do? Plus, you are bringing a child into this. As upset as mum and dad Weasley are, they are going to want to be part of their grandchild's life and you won't be able to keep them away. I do have a question, curiosity mostly."

"Sure, go ahead."

"Um, well, okay, I was just wondering, um, no, never mind."

"I bet I can guess. You're wondering if we ever go at it all four of us? The answer most definitely is no! We may like variety, but we have boundaries. We all have some attraction to the opposite sex, but we would never go out and meet somebody random and bring them in and we aren't doing any weird multiples shite. Sex is one on one only. We're committed, even if the arrangement is a bit unusual."

Hermione seemed to be finished, so Ginny spoke again. "Can you give us a couple of weeks Hermione? Let us finish the move, discuss this among ourselves and decide how to move forward."

"Alright, I can do that. Two weeks. It won't be easy, but I care about you and I understand. You all, all four of you are in love? I mean, I guess I understand that Charlie and Viktor are more in love with each other than with Ginny and Luna and vice versa, but I guess it's just hard to comprehend."

"Yes, Hermione we are all in love. Love just isn't black and white. There's a lot more complexity to it."

Hermione finished her second glass of wine and stood up. "Well, thank you all for being honest. I'll keep quiet for a couple of weeks." Then she reached out to Ginny and hugged her. Unable to hold back, a few tears slid down Hermione's cheeks. Charlie handed her a tissue and then everyone else gave her a hug before she left the flat.
