Chapter 8

Once When I Was On Beach

"So… this is the private beach you were talking about?" He asked, giving her an impressive unimpressed look.

Lily, meanwhile, was stupidly staring at the group of teenagers who were enjoying the sea and ocean, unaware that this was private property.

"It seems the wards around here collapsed along with the notice-me-not ward. Since nothing is keeping this island hidden from the general public anymore, people are free to discover it and enjoy it. Looks like several muggles think that this is their newly discovered island. At least no one claimed it as theirs and started a private resort here. That would have been embarrassing to take care of." She explained in a daze, her eyebrows twitching in annoyance at seeing the teenagers partying and hollering on her private property.

"Why did the wards collapse?" Harry questioned her.

"Most probably a Death Eater attack. This island had only moderately strong wards. That's why we stayed in the Potter Manor whose wards are the strongest." She nodded at her theory. The uninvited teenagers soon spotted them and approached them without a care.

"Hello, I'm the owner of this island. How long are you staying here without my permission?" Lily asked sternly to the group of six.

"We are sorry. We just arrived here two days ago. Though we did not know that this was a private island. Because you see, we live on the mainland which isn't far from here and there are numerous rumours about the beautiful island that appeared out of nowhere a few years ago. Since then, many people have come here to enjoy a nice peaceful vacation." The leader of the group stepped forward to explain. She was a beautiful and well-endowed woman in her early twenties, wearing a sexy two-piece red bikini. Her black hair was long enough to reach her waist and her brown eyes were full of youthful energy.

"How can you not know that this was a private island? There's a giant house just inside the forest." Lily asked incredulously.

"Yeah. We know that. But it is abandoned. So we thought that this island was abandoned too. And you can barely call it a house anymore. It's nothing but a ruin from what we saw." The girl shrugged apologetically.

'Fucking Death Eaters!' Lily internally growled.

"Well, now you know that this is private property. So when are you planning to leave?" She asked neutrally, not showing how irritated she was. And she also wasn't liking how Harry was ogling this chick. She felt a fiery jealousy sprouting in her heart at the thought of 'her' Harry with anyone else.

"Sorry, we can't go yet. A boat will come for us in the evening. Until then we are stuck here." The girl smiled bashfully. Lily resisted an urge to groan but just nodded after a second. She looked behind her to see the boys and the girls looking at them expectantly.

"Okay. But please stay in this one area only. And don't litter. It's private property." Lily laid out the rules sternly. The girl clapped her hands in triumph and offered her a bright smile.

"Thank you, Mrs. We won't trouble you anymore." The girl agreed and shot Harry an inviting smile.

"And you, boyo, are invited to spend some time with us when you get bored in the company of your mother." She joked, hoping that the redhead really was his mother or else this was going to be embarrassing. While the stern woman looked very young and only a couple of years older than her, the mannerism signalled her either being his mother or a nagging sister.

"Sure." He answered blandly, giving her a non-committal answer. She just shook her head in amusement and went away mumbling about young edgy teenagers. Harry sneaked a glance at the alluring movements of her arse cheeks as she walked back to her friends.

This didn't go unnoticed by Lily who fumed in jealousy.

"Let's go, Harry. It's time to see how much of our vacation house is still intact." She announced, grabbing his hand and leading him inside the forest.

The vacation house was actually just a few walls standing on the ground with different parts of the ceiling lying everywhere.

"I really do need to see in which condition our other properties are. Whatever. Today we are just going to enjoy ourselves. Let's go to the other side and away from those annoying teenagers." With that said, Lily dragged him to the other side of the island.

It was still only 10 in the morning and the weather in this part was pleasant. The sun wasn't high enough to make the sunlight hot and uncomfortable.

"Now, let's change and jump into the sea." Lily announced, quickly taking off her shirt and jeans. After that, she stood only in her black lacy underwear. Her long legs were naked in all their glory bar her privates which were covered by a small triangular thong. And her bra was straining, barely able to keep her bust inside the fabric. She smirked feeling Harry's gaze on her.

" Ooh~. Is my little baby admiring his mama?" She teased mischievously, leaning forward and showing him ample cleavage. Her lips were curved in an amused and delighted smile at receiving his attention.

"Nah! I'm just surprised that you are wearing any underwear. Since you usually don't while sleeping, I was taken aback by the new development." Harry responded calmly, too used to her antics. Lily just giggled, not blushing at his observation, as he had wanted.

It was really hard to make her embarrassed, Harry thought annoyedly.

"You are absolutely right. I don't like wearing anything while sleeping. Even the nightie sometimes feels like a hassle. But this time I thought I might impress you with my new underwear. Do I look good in it, sweetie?" Lily asked, striking a provocative pose.

She turned a little, giving him a glimpse of her delicious arse, and crossed her arms under her chest, making them pop out more. Harry tried, he really tried hard not to give any response, but couldn't stop staring at the redheaded goddess that was his mum.

Lily laughed in joy seeing him become speechless.

"I'll take that as a yes, love. Who needs a swimsuit when you have underwear? Now strip, we have to play in the water." She instructed, tapping her foot impatiently. Harry just nodded, blushing at his mishap, and started unbuttoning his shirt. A few seconds later, he too was just in his underwear.

Lily whistled appreciatively.

"The exercises are doing some good, Harry." She smiled, touching his stomach which was starting to show the beginning of his abs.

"Yup." He stated, resisting shivering as her finger traced his barely formed muscles.

"We are ready then. Let's finally start" She exclaimed, full of excitement and grabbing hold of his hand, making him run after her as they jogged toward the sea.
