Chapter 7: Touch Your Bum

After everything had settled and Ron was calmed down, Hermione took his hand and pulled him up the stairs to talk about his insecurities. They hadn't had much chance to really delve deep into talking about their feelings, hopefully this would help calm Ron's burning jealousy. Percy muttered a quick sentiment that he was going to be going home but would be back for breakfast in the morning.

"I think Fleur and I are going to say goodnight to Mom and Dad quick, then we are headed home." Bill stood and patted Harry on the back before giving his sister a hug. "Goodnight firefly, and for the record I think you and Harry are great for each other."

"Thanks Bill, that means a lot to us. And I am really glad you and Fleur found each other." Ginny returned the sentiment to her brother and gave her sister in law a hug after she finished hugging Bill.

"Goodnight Ginny and 'Arry." Fleur gave them both hugs and chaste kisses on the cheek. "Enjoy your night." Fleur gave Ginny a suggestive look which caused the young girl to blush furiously. Harry said his goodnights to the pair and moved to sit back down. Ginny was quick to grab his hand and pull him towards the stairs.

"Come on, Mr. Potter. I think we should go to my bedroom. It is bound to be more comfortable than these couches." Harry followed Ginny upstairs and into her bedroom. Ginny sat on the bed and noticed Harry looking rather nervous. "Oh I don't bite…unless you are into that of course." She winked as she motioned for him to sit next to her. He chuckled and sat down, leaving just a little breathing room between them.

"I think we should talk about last year a bit." Harry said timidly.

"I thought you already told me everything from last year." Ginny looked confused. Harry grabbed her hand and held it in his lap.

"No, I mean we need to talk about what went on at Hogwarts for you last year…" Her mouth formed an O shape in understanding. She visibly shuddered and gripped his hand tighter.

"You are right, we do need to talk about last year But I need you to promise me you will keep your temper." Harry nodded and urged her to go on. "Well the school year started out almost as normal except there were only pure bloods in attendance. Everyone else was likely not invited or the families had gone into hiding. The staff remained the same except the Carrows. They took over Defense classes." At the mention of the siblings Ginny grew anxious.

Harry reached up and brushed her hair behind her ear. She smiled at him gently before continuing. "They were also in charge of most discipline. And throughout the year we hardly ever saw Snape. We would be punished if we didn't actively partake in the defense lessons. Which most of the times we had to practice hexes and curses on first years. Slytherins were the only ones who really did it. Some of the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws finally caved after being sentenced to the cruciatus curse during detention. The Gryffindors, especially the members of the DA refused. And we often volunteered to take detention in place of the younger students."

Harry was visibly angry but remained silent. "If anyone mentioned your name they were given punishments. Sometimes they were simple normal detentions, but most often it was being physically tortured, by hand or wand. After winter break I was getting pissed and defiant. They had taken Luna from us on the train ride home. So I had taken your old quidditch jersey from Ron's room where you left it, and I wore it to class. Everyone told me I was bonkers and brave but I just wanted them all to have something to believe in. The Carrows held me in a room for the whole weekend chained up. Barely giving me food or water, they practiced cutting curses and stinging hexes on me constantly. They forced some third years to try and use the cruciatus on me. Alec got bold one day and forced me to kiss him. I threw up after that but that is when Professor McGonagall found me and told them it was wrong. From what I was told Professor Snape lit into them about the punishment because they left me alone for weeks. Then at Easter we had to go into hiding because they found out Ron was with you and not home sick with spattergroit. Otherwise you know about the sword and what happened when you came back to Hogwarts. Neville, Luna and I kept the DA alive but we couldn't do much. We mostly just used it to communicate and help each other with detentions and such." Ginny took a deep breath and looked at Harry nervously.

"You are one of the bravest witches I have ever known. " Harry whispered and he closed the distance between them. As his lips touched hers, her hand immediately went to the back of his head and she played with his messy black hair. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her onto his lap, his hand stopping to rest on her hips. They continued this way for awhile, Harry's hand traveled up Ginny's back under her shirt causing her to moan. She pushed them back so she was lying on top of Harry. She started to pull her lips away from his and trailed kisses down his jawline and down his neck. He breathlessly let out a moan, "Ginny, you are driving me mad."

She giggled slightly and made her way back to his lips. She moved to straddle his lap, feeling his excitement grow in his pants. She bent her head down and kissed him passionately. His hands moved to rest right above her bum. They both heard Hermione's footsteps bounding down the hall to her room, followed by Ron's loud booming footsteps. They quickly came to their senses and parted. "Oi! Harry isn't in his room and Ginny's door is shut. You don't think…" Ron's voice stopped, and Hermione's immediately picked up right outside Ginny's door.

"Now Ron, we just talked about this. And frankly we would be hypocrites if we judged them for whatever they are doing. Unless of course you didn't enjoy yourself." Hermione said nervously.

"What? Of course I did, I really enjoyed um touching your bum. You know that." And just like that their footsteps disappeared and they heard the door to Hermione's door shut, Hermione could be heard giggling the whole way.

Harry and Ginny looked at each other and burst into laughter. As their laughter slowed down, Harry spoke, "Ginny, I want you to know that I don't expect anything to happen until you are completely ready. And ideally not in your parents' house." Ginny cupped his cheek gently and smiled.

"I know. You have always been obnoxiously noble. I know that I want to take that step with you, and I also know that whenever the time presents itself I will be more than ready. The question is are you ready for me, Mr. Potter?" She launched herself on top of him and kissed him with passion. They spent the next 15 minutes letting their hands wander once again. Finally Harry gently pushed Ginny off of him.

"We need to stop now or I won't be able to stop." Harry said breathlessly. Ginny laughed.

"I don't see what's so bad about that." Harry chuckled at her words.

"I love you, but like I said not in your parents' home. I wouldn't feel right. I promise we will get there soon okay?" Ginny nodded in defeat and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Goodnight, Harry. I love you." She walked him to her door and gave him a passionate kiss goodnight.

"Goodnight, beautiful. I love you most." With that Harry crossed the hallway and entered his room. They both fell asleep that night dreaming of each other.
