Hi all! Welcome to Chapter Six of Water Worries. This is a story request from a lovely person called xxxRainLoverxxx, so credit to the idea goes to her. She is a very talented writer but unfortunately due to negative reviews she no longer likes to post her stories which is a true shame for everyone. This story is complete and is Thirteen Chapters long, updates should be weekly unless something drastic happens.
Summary: Harry has a fear of water, when his nightmares manage to get even Ron's attention Ron comes up with a plan for how to keep Harry's mind off the second task. What happens when they go too far? AU. Contains Spanking. No Slash.
Warning: Story contains parental spanking of a teenager, if this isn't your cup of tea, don't read it.
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor have I ever, owned Harry Potter – as much as I'd like to I sadly do not. I did not make any money from this story, and I don't intend too. All characters and recognisable things belong to JK Rowling not me – as sad as that is for me.
A huge thank you to my wonderful Beta Jules Ann, who is again herself a very talented writer on here. Though she doesn't know Harry Potter, I am slowly trying to convert her.

There was a beat of absolute silence as everyone took in the dare, wondering if George was actually going to do it.
George grinned, completely unashamed, "well if you really want to see this gorgeous body skipping around, then who am I to deny you," he grinned. He happily stripped off, posing for a moment, without a hint of embarrassment.
Fred got up too and joined his twin in the posing, "you know what Forge old boy, I think a skip around the school sounds grand, I'll join you," he declared.
There was certainly no more silence, almost everyone was in stitches and clutching their sides from laughter.
Ginny rolled her eyes and shook her head, "you just had to engage their exhibitionist side. They'd skip around Hogwarts naked! Being in their underwear is almost modest for them," she moaned.
Harry snorted with laughter, remembering the summer before his second year where, on multiple occasions, he had seen Fred or George brazenly walking out of the bathroom completely naked from their showers. They'd done the same again when he'd joined them for the Quidditch final this summer. They were never shy in the boys Gryffindor Quidditch changing room either, always happily standing around and chatting in the nude. He could very easily imagine them skipping naked through Hogwarts.
Ron groaned, "don't give them any ideas Ginny," he complained.
Alicia, Angelina, and Katie giggled as well, "they definitely aren't shy," they chimed together. They had heard Oliver and Harry complain frequently about getting eyefuls before and after practice.
Fred and George's eyes lit up, "that sounds like a grand idea don't you think Gred?" George asked waggling his eyebrows.
"Indeed, dear brother, I think it would be a crime if we denied these good people such an experience," Fred confirmed.
Without the slightest hesitation, both boys whipped off their boxers, gave a deep bow, linked arms, and skipped out of the portrait hole.
There was once again a beat of absolute silence as everyone stared in silent shock at the Weasley twins skipping down the corridor. The Gryffindors and one Ravenclaw were not shocked for long though, as they all jumped up and scrambled out of the portrait hole, following the twins.
Colin still had his camera, but there was not a single click or flash coming from him, he had no desire to have pictures of this! Plus, he thought it would be rather pointless as the Weasley twins seemed to be immune to embarrassment and would probably only be proud of photographic evidence of this.
Minerva was doing her final rounds before it would be time for her to go to bed. She rounded the corner and blinked rapidly as she saw something she honestly thought she must be imagining.
Fred and George gave a cheery wave to their Head of House when they saw her, tipping imaginary hats to her.
The crowd of her lions following the Weasley twins was enough to snap Minerva out of her shock. "Fred and George Weasley come here this instant!" She barked sharply. "What do you…" she shook her head and pulled out her wand. She quickly conjured two plain black robes to cover the twins up "Put these on!" She ordered sharply.
Disappointed, but not willing to directly defy their Head of House, the twins shrugged the robes on.
Once the twins were covered up Minerva was able to focus on what was actually going on, horrified to find so many of her students out of bed at 1 o'clock in the morning. She rounded on the crowd of students, her lips almost paper thin, her nostrils white. "Do you have any idea what the time is? It is one o'clock in the morning! You should all be in bed! Not skipping around the school completely naked! This is absolutely unacceptable, and I would never have expected it of my students!" She scolded them all.
Everyone was shocked, it was one o'clock? How? When? Surely not?
"Please Professor, we didn't…" Hermione started.
"I dare say you did not Miss Granger! I cannot even begin to tell you how disappointed in you all I am! It is all well and good to have a bit of fun, but that's no excuse to completely lose your heads and let it get this out of hand!" Minerva admonished severely. She looked at each one of her lions, meeting each of their eyes so they could see her severe disappointment and fury. To her shock her eyes landed, not on one of her Gryffindors, but on a certain third year Ravenclaw. "Miss Lovegood! What are you…? You should be in Ravenclaw tower! I dare say Professor Flitwick has no idea you are not asleep in your bed! I will be taking you straight to your Head of House!"
Luna ducked her head and walked over to Professor McGonagall, wincing when she put her hand on her shoulder.
Minerva took a moment to make sure there were no other members of other houses hiding amongst her Gryffindors. She was relieved to see the youngest pair were Miss Weasley and Mr Colin Creevey, both third years, if they'd had any first years with them, she'd have reached a new level of fury. "As for the rest of you, get back to Gryffindor and to your beds immediately! And be thankful I am not taking away every single point Gryffindor has ever had! You will all serve Sunday detention from nine o'clock tomorrow, I would advise you to wake up early so not to miss breakfast. Yes, you too Miss Lovegood. As for you two I shall be writing to your mother and father tonight, gallivanting around the school naked as the day you were born! I would have never believed it possible of students of mine!"
As soon as they were dismissed, everyone turned and hurried back to the Common Room, no one wanting to push McGonagall to make their punishment any worse! Sunday detention was bad enough, especially since it was still a Hogsmeade weekend, which meant none of them would get to go to the wizarding village tomorrow.
Minerva watched in fury as her lions all but apparated back to their tower before she marched Luna across to Professor Flitwick's quarters. She knocked sharply on the door, waiting for her fellow Head of House to answer.
It took Filius a minute or two to get to his door, not sure why anyone would be knocking at his quarters, he opened the door wearing his dressing gown and looked shocked seeing Minerva stood outside his door. His shock shifted to sadness when he saw Luna, "oh Miss Lovegood, tell me they didn't…" he started. Earlier this year his Ravenclaws had horrified him when they had locked Luna in a broom closet, he had been apoplectic with his claws, but could only take points away when Luna refused to name her tormentors.
"Miss Lovegood has been in my Common Room playing a game of dares with a group of my Gryffindors who I have just caught following a naked Fred and George Weasley skipping around the school," Minerva informed Filius shortly.
Filius would not have been more shocked if Minerva had slapped him across the face with a large flobberworm. "Miss Lovegood! Is this true?" He couldn't help but ask. It wasn't that he didn't believe his colleague, though what she had said was quite unbelievable. He just needed it confirmed from his student.
Minerva took no offence to Filius asking Luna if it was true, she would do the same if anyone brought one of her students to her and told her a similar story. She had been the one to catch them and could still barely believe it had actually happened.
"Yes Professor," Luna admitted in a small voice. She didn't like letting down her Head of House, he was very good to her.
Filius swelled up in a mixture of anger and disappointment. "Miss Lovegood, what were you thinking? This is completely unacceptable," he reprimanded her disappointedly.
"I have given her Sunday detention tomorrow, from nine o'clock, along with my lions," Minerva informed Filius.
Filius nodded, accepting this, "very well, Miss Lovegood you will serve this detention and I will not add to your punishment this once. If you ever do something like this again however, I will not be so lenient. Go to bed, right away, and make sure you get up early enough to have breakfast. I shall be most displeased if I have to send one of the Prefects to collect you," he ordered.
Luna nodded, keeping her head down, "yes Professor," she murmured again. She quickly used the knocker, answering the riddle before she slipped into the tower and went straight up to her bed.
"Thank you for bringing her to me Minerva, I am so sorry," Filius apologised shaking his head in disbelief.
"No need for thanks or apologies Filius, I am quite certain Miss Lovegood was not a leader in this debacle. I believe this was mainly the Weasley twins plan, along with Mr Potter and the youngest Mr Weasley. I don't know what has gotten into the pair of them, but Mr Potter seems to be channelling his father rather a lot these days," Minerva admitting shaking her head.
Filius let out a breath and nodded, "I don't doubt you are quite correct," he agreed shaking his head, "well, if there's nothing else, I should be getting back to bed."
Minerva nodded, "me too, goodnight Filius," she bid. With that she turned and headed back to her quarters. As she walked, she shook her head and, not for the first time, contemplated early retirement. Thank Merlin next year was the Weasley twins' final year, having them was like having James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter back. If pushed she would admit the four boys had been more of a handful than the Weasley twins, but Fred and George came a close second when it came to trouble making. Though at the rate Mr Potter and Mr Weasley were going it would appear they were doing their best to follow in James Potter and Sirius Black's footsteps, and she wasn't sure she could survive another three and a half years of that.
Dean changed out of Lavender's dress, handing it back to her so Hermione could change it back to the correct size. Seamus begged the girls for a way to change his nails back, but apparently, he just had to let the spells wear off… which could take up to six weeks. Harry, after having ripped off Ginny's panties and handed them back to her, jumped into shower and scrubbed at his face, trying, and failing to remove the make-up. Fortunately, Angelina took pity on Gryffindor's seeker and knocked on the door to the fourth-year dorm room, handing over a make-up removal potion, which thankfully worked.
It took a while for the group to all settle down and get to bed, each bursting into giggles and or sniggers when recalling a certain event from the evening. Despite the very disappointing way the game had been forcibly ended, none of them could deny it had been a lot of fun. The fourth-year boys dorm took the longest to calm down, but soon enough the sounds of sniggers and badly stifled chuckles shifted to the sounds of Neville and Ron competing for the loudest snore.
The next morning it was a very groggy group of Gryffindors who headed down to the Great Hall at eight o'clock. Yawning and leaning on each other to try and wake up as they tried to make sure they ate a good enough breakfast to keep them going through what was certain to be a very hard morning.
Luna made her way to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Neville, yawning tiredly, before snuggling into the shy fourth year, "hmm, you do make a wonderful teddy bear," she murmured sleepily.
Neville flushed a bright red but did not have the heart to try and turn away the peculiar little third year.
Fortunately for Neville, everyone was too tired to tease him about being Luna Lovegood's teddy bear, and most of them were in a similar state with one another.
They all felt slightly more awake after eating, though Luna didn't seem to want to let go of Neville and was still snuggled into him.
Minerva walked down to the Gryffindor table, pleased to see all her miscreants sat together along with Miss Lovegood, "to my classroom now if you please," she ordered.
A murmured chime of 'yes Professor,' came from the gathered students and they all got to their feet, assisting the still sleepy members of the group by dragging them up. Ginny took mercy on Neville and pulled Luna to her feet, pulling her off Neville at the same time and keeping hold of her long-time friend to prevent her reattaching herself to Neville.
Hermione led the march to Professor McGonagall's classroom, not speaking to Ron or Harry, she was still upset with them for getting her into trouble like this. She hated that she'd so disappointed her Head of House and wanted to do whatever she could to regain her approval.
Minerva was satisfied to see everyone seemed at least slightly subdued, even the twins, though she knew that had more to do with the fact she'd written to their mother last night. She quickly assigned everyone a task around the school, making sure to separate the twins and Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She tried to make sure no one was working within talking distance of their friends, telling them what time they could go to lunch and what time she expected them back in her classroom for their after-lunch assignments.
Harry found himself scrubbing the trophies in the trophy room along with Ginny.
"Sucks that we got caught and got, I wanted to go back to Hogsmeade today," Ginny muttered.
"Yeah, probably should have kept a better watch on the time," Harry admitted.
Ginny giggled and nodded, "right, we'll have to do that next time," she grinned.
Harry snorted in laughter shaking his head, "I think it'll be a while before there's a next time, I really thought McGonagall was going to kill us."
Ginny couldn't help but laugh, "would you rather face her that angry again or have to go against the dragon again?"
Harry didn't even have to think about it, "I'll take the dragon any day," he insisted.
Ginny burst into a fit of giggles, "I thought so," she sniggered. There was a pause in the conversation as they both tried to get on top of their laughter. "Still, it was a lot of fun, wasn't it?"
Again, Harry did not need to think about this, "yeah, it really was."
