Number 4, Privet Drive
Earlier That Morning

Dudley cursed when the alarm went off at 5:30 am, but rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Finishing up a few minutes later, he washed his hands and splashed a bit of water on his face before going back to his room and pulling on a pair of track shorts and a headband to keep his long blonde hair out of his face while he was running. Putting on his socks and trainers, he walked bare chested down the steps, being quiet enough not to wake up Vernon and Petunia. Grabbing his house key, he hung it around his neck and walked out of the house.

The sun was just barely over the horizon as he started his stretches. He had hated the exercises when he first started, but like many other things that Harry had insisted on, realized that they had benefits that outweighed the original discomfort. He never would have been able to make the Smeltings Football team if he was still the flabby berk he was as a little kid, and he enjoyed the game enough, not to mention the attention the girls gave him as a star athlete, that the minor inconvenience of getting up earlier to exercise didn't bother him anymore.

Judging he was loose enough, he walked over to the driveway, sneering as always at the expensive car his father drove back and forth to work. He wondered what the men in the neighborhood who were always admiring the vehicle would say if they knew the only way Vernon could afford it was by performing in pornographic films where he got buggered by a bunch of rough looking men? He doubted they would be quite as impressed. He knew he would never say anything, and Harry had made arrangements that the word wouldn't get out, because it was important that his and Dudley's background appear as normal as possible for when they graduated and put their plans in motion. It wouldn't do for word to get out when he was making a run for the local council after all.

Starting out at a jog, he grinned as he passed several houses that would vote for him, considering he'd slept with at least one of the women in most of the houses on the block, and in a couple of them, more than one of the women that lived there. That was something else that he owed Harry for. If Harry hadn't insisted he learn to pay attention to his partners' pleasure, he would probably have had a problem keeping even one girlfriend, instead of having the reputation he did. As it was, there was barely a day that went by that he wasn't getting a call from one of the women on the block to come over and help her with something around the house. Vernon had no idea what he was actually doing, just like he had no idea of what he had Petunia doing after he left for work. Petunia was well aware, of course, considering the times that he brought the women back to the house to let them play with her. He knew that Petunia hated it, but he really didn't care, she and Vernon deserved everything they got for their behavior. He occasionally wondered how Harry was going to kill them when he'd decided they had suffered enough, but couldn't really bring himself to care. As far as he was concerned, the two of them were just tools to be used, and discarded when they had served their purpose.

Picking up the pace of his run, he headed onto High Street, taking him through the heart of Little Whinging's business district, such as it was. He waved at the Bobby who was cruising through the area, and the man waved back with a friendly smile. It was a routine with the two of them, since they were in the same area at around the same time each day. Dudley made it a point to let the officer know if he happened to hear about Piers and the others planning any mischief, which gave him a friend in the local police, which was always a good thing. He hadn't needed any help so far, but, like Harry said, “It's always better to have allies you don't need to draw on, than to need them and not have them because you didn't lay the groundwork.”

Reaching the halfway point, he glanced up at the clock on the local Barclay's Bank, and saw it was just 6:30 and he nodded, he'd shaved a couple of minutes off his time. Crossing the street at the light, Dudley started back toward Privet Drive, knowing that Vernon should be leaving as he got back, which was good, because he had plans for Petunia when he got back to the house. He knew she hated sweat and the smell of him after he'd been running, so he was going to have her give him a suck before he took a shower. She certainly wouldn't be surprised, she had his cock in her mouth and arse several times a week now, and didn't even bother trying to argue. He knew that Harry had done something to her to make her so pliable, but he didn't care, he just appreciated the fact that his cousin had ensured he had ready access to some stress relief.

By the time he got back to Privet Drive, most of the men had already left for work, and several of their wives, and not a few of their daughters were sitting on their front porches as he jogged past. He smiled and waved in response to their greetings, slowing down to a walk as he passed Number 4. He continued on for half a block, cooling down from the run, before he turned around and started back toward his house. As he approached the drive, he heard Mrs Number 3, or as he called her when they were in bed together, Peggy, calling his name. Walking across the road, she met him at the edge of her property and asked him to come over around lunch time, she needed some help with a leak in the basement. He nodded, straight faced, and told her he would be there. As he turned away, he nodded to Peggy's daughter, Janet, who was sitting on the porch watching him. He made a mental note to stop at the chemist's and get some more condoms that morning, because he was going to need them!

Nodding at Vernon as the older man got into his car and drove off, he walked up the steps to the house and gave Petunia a look as he headed toward his bedroom, already fully hard in anticipation. He didn't even bother to turn back, he knew that she was following him up the stairs. Opening the door to his room, he walked over to the bed and turned around. She had followed him in and shut the door behind her.

He stood there silently as she stripped out of her robe and folded it, setting it on the chair by the door, before pulling her nightgown over her head and standing there, nude before him. He gestured with his hand, and she turned around, showing the plug in her arse. Dudley had made it clear earlier in the year that he expected her to be wearing the plug at all times when Vernon wasn't in the house, and the one time she had forgotten, he had beaten her arse with a belt before taking her without stretching her first. The memory was enough to ensure she never forgot again.

Dudley was frowning when she turned around, and he said, “You're getting kind of flabby. I won't have that, when you get done with what you have to do this morning, go get yourself a health club membership, I want you to start toning up. Now, you know what you are here for, get to it!”

He smirked at the pain in her eyes as she lowered herself to her hands and knees and crawled over to where he was waiting. When she was in front of him, she sat up and reached for his shorts. Tugging them down to his ankles, she lifted each leg and removed the shorts, setting them aside. Lifting up his left foot, she slipped the shoe off, and pulled off the sock, grimacing at how damp with sweat it was. Lowering his foot so it rested on her thigh, she repeated the process with his right foot. When both feet were on her thighs, Dudley sat down and raised his left foot. She lifted his foot to her face and opened her mouth, running her tongue between the toes and then sucking them.

Dudley watched with a sneer as she worshiped his feet. He didn't really get any pleasure out of it, but enjoyed forcing her to take something so dirty and smelly into her mouth. After she finished, he reached down and tugged her hair, directing her mouth to his cock. He was in a good mood, thinking about what he was going to be doing with Peggy and Janet that afternoon, so he let her set the pace and just enjoyed the look on her face. Peggy and Janet had actually been his first mother/daughter threesome, and when Peggy had kissed Janet, licking up the cum that had spilled from her mouth after she sucked him, he'd almost fainted! That was something that usually only happened to Harry, but he could certainly understand why Harry enjoyed it so much. There was just something delightfully filthy about watching a mother and daughter in a 69, and knowing that he was going to be shagging both of them. He decided he was going to have Petunia trim his pubes before going over to Number 3 that afternoon. Peggy was such an amazing cock sucker he wanted to give her a treat, since she didn't like the way his hair got into her mouth. Petunia wasn't bad, but Peggy was so much better. He only kept it going with her because he knew she hated it, and he wanted to continue punishing her for Harry.

It didn't take long for the thoughts of buggering Janet while she licked Peggy to make him cum. He grunted and started shooting into her mouth. She didn't even try to pull away, she just started swallowing, not letting any of it slip out of her mouth. She had learned the hard way that Dudley didn't like that.

When he finished, he pulled out her mouth and stood, leaving her kneeling there with tears running down her face as he left the room.


Later

Petunia soaked in the bathtub, letting the hot water and the oils sooth her muscles. She knew that Dudley wouldn't be bothering her again, he was busy shagging the woman across the street, and would probably only be back for dinner before leaving again. She couldn't understand why he still used her the way he did when he had so many willing partners, especially since the boy was gone, back to his own world, but he told her why today.

Tears welled up again when she remembered the hateful sneer on his face when he said, “I just wanted to tell you, Petunia, this never would have happened if you and Vernon had only treated Harry properly. You know, like an actual member of the family should be treated? It's too late now, of course, but imagine, if you had taken Harry in, and given him love and affection, instead of beating and starving him, treating him like a freak, you never would have had to learn the lessons Harry taught the two of you!”

She had wanted to protest, but she couldn't speak around the gag that Dudley had forced in her mouth. He just didn't understand that it wasn't their fault, that magic wasn't natural, and normal people shouldn't have to be around it. She was afraid that her precious son had been far too corrupted by that freakishness to ever see that she and Vernon had been right, trying to force the unnaturalness out of the boy. She cried at the unfairness of it all, they had such a wonderful life before they had been burdened by the brat, but that all changed.

Her blood ran cold when he continued, “You know that Harry is going to kill you when he thinks you've suffered enough, don't you? I don't know when that will be, but I hope it's not too soon. It's just too convenient having you available, you see? That's why Harry put those compulsions on you and Vernon stopping you from killing yourselves. He did it because I asked him to, and Harry would do almost anything if I asked him to, he's my cousin, and my friend!”

Finding out it was her own flesh and blood that was responsible for her suffering continuing made her feel sick! She had tried to slice her wrists the night after the first time that Harry had forced her to touch that neighbor woman, but when she picked up the razor, it got hot in her hand and she couldn't hold it. When she looked up, she saw Harry standing in the doorway, shaking his head with a smirk on his face. He didn't say anything, just looked at her and then turned away.

She wondered if being degraded this way was Harry's punishment for trying to kill herself? It wasn't so horrible at first, just being made to display herself in front of them, but then she was forced to kneel down in front of Dudley and tried to kill herself again. The next day Dudley sodomized her for the first time, and she understood, knowing that it would get worse if she tried again, so she just learned to endure, nursing the hatred in her heart for the freak who had ruined her perfect family.

After he finished taking her arse, he had wiped himself off in her hair and got dressed before unlocking the cuffs that had been holding her to the bed. He walked out the door, whistling a cheerful tune, not looking back at her. She pulled the gag out of her mouth and just barely made it to the bathroom before she was sick. Washing out her mouth, she started the tub, and wondered how much longer her torment would continue?




Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office
1pm

Albus sat back, puffing on his pipe as he felt his lunch settle in, enjoying the peace and quiet of the summer day with no students in the castle, and most of the staff still on their holidays. He occasionally envied the teachers their ability to take such long holidays, but he had far too much work to do to take more than a couple of weeks off at a time. Of course, this year was going to be different, because Harry Potter was going to be joining the school. He hoped that Minerva wouldn't be too disappointed, but the young man he met this morning was either a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin. There was certainly a great deal of courage there, he could tell by the way Harry wasn't even slightly nervous in his presence, and the article in this morning's paper certainly showed a Slytherins' cunning, but the curiosity he saw in Harry's eyes showed him a thirst for knowledge that could only find it's home among the Ravens. He grinned, besides, being in Ravenclaw would keep him close to his girlfriend, which at 16 years old is a very strong motivation.

He was giving the proposed book lists a quick once over, scanning them to see if there were any changes, since they tended to use the same texts every year. Not seeing any books that would be beyond the grade level of the students, he initialed the bottom of the sheet and sent it off to Minerva to let the staff know. He was reaching for the next sheet on the pile when he was interrupted by a voice calling his name from the floo.

Turning his chair around, he smiled at the sight of his old friend Hugo Savage in the flames. “Good Afternoon Hugo, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I had an interesting visit from one of your incoming students, and I wanted to talk to you about him, do you mind if I come through?”

“Certainly, come on ahead.”

A few seconds later, the burly Auror was brushing off his robes and limping over to the seat in front of Albus's desk. Albus waited politely until his guest was seated before asking “So, which of my students did you have a reason to encounter, Hugo? Hopefully none of them had done anything to need an official visit?”

Hugo chuckled, “No, nothing like that. Harry Potter and his girlfriend, or one of them anyway, I'm not sure, stopped by the DMLE today to give a statement about the article in this morning's paper. He didn't mention your name, but it was obvious to those of us who remember those times just who put the mail wards on the lad. He said that it was just an oversight, and wanted to make sure that the records were updated, which I did, one of the rookies saw the article and got all excited, wanting to open a case, but I put the statement in there, so it's closed out. But that's not really what I wanted to talk to you about.” He paused, drawing out the suspense while he popped one of Albus' lemon drops in his mouth and savoring the flavor. “The reason I wanted to talk to you was just to give you a bit of advanced warning, young Mister Potter asked me to scan him, to make sure there were no other spells on him that he didn't authorize, there weren't any, by the way. But, while I was scanning him, I did a quick check on his magical core.” Not getting any reaction, he glanced up sharply, “But you already knew about it, didn't you?”

Albus nodded, grabbing a lemon drop of his own. “I've been aware of Mister Potter's score since right after that night. I did a quick scan to make sure his core wasn't damaged by the attack, and I was amazed at what I found. I realized right away that arrangements would have to made to accommodate him when the time came for him to attend Hogwarts. I quietly arranged for an increase of scholarships for incoming students, increasing the number of girls in each class for the past several years, simply because I knew, and you do as well, that expecting him to only be with one girl is as unrealistic as expecting the Sun to rise in the west. By increasing the number of female students, I was hoping to alleviate the ill feelings that he would create if there was a reduced dating pool. I'd been planning on increasing the size of the classes and bringing in more teachers for a while now, but I couldn't get the Board to agree until I could tell them of a potential Jeremy's Law situation. Several of them have sons and grandsons in the school, so they were willing to finally agree. After Harry graduates, I'll work on bringing more male students in to adjust the ratio's again.”

Hugo nodded, “Makes sense, there is going to be enough tension even with the increased numbers but if they were kept at the same levels as before, you'd have duels in the hallways over a girl, and none of us wants to see those days come back again.”

“Heavens no! It was bad enough when we were students, and neither of us had anywhere near the number of women that Mister Potter is going to need. In a way, I'm not sure if I envy him, or pity him. I had a hard enough time dealing with my five, and I know that your seven gave you several headaches the first few years.”

“I'm going to be loaning Harry the books you gave me, to see if he can avoid the problems we ran into. I will say one thing did impress me today, he seems to actually take his girlfriend's opinion into account when making a decision. I'll admit, I was testing him a bit when I invited them to lunch with me tomorrow, to see if he made the same mistake I did at his age, but he actually checked with her before agreeing to join me. I was glad to see it, because you know as well as I do that a larger core doesn't mean you're a decent person.”

Albus nodded, “Tobias Snape! I wish we had castrated the bastard when he started causing problems instead of just binding his magic and obliviating him. He ended up marrying a witch, and making her life, as well as their son's life miserable. I was too late to help Eileen, and Severus was severely damaged by the time he arrived here. I've done what I can to help him, including protecting him from the worst of the Marauders pranks. He was the one that Sirius Black set up to encounter the werewolf student if you recall? I shudder to think what would have happened if James hadn't warned me what Black had done. As it was, Severus never figured out what the student's problem was, and I ended up suspending Black for several weeks.”

“Was that what made you resign from the ICW? It seemed to happen about the same time if I recall.”

“It was part of the reason, but only a part. I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I was pressured into resigning the post by the Black Family in exchange for them keeping quiet about the identity of the werewolf student. I knew that if they had raised a fuss, the student would have been expelled, and probably executed, and I would have lost my position as Headmaster over it. The family was furious with him over the situation from what I recall.”

“Well, that's not surprising,” the Auror grunted, “considering how jealously that family guarded their reputation. As if anybody with half a brain didn't realize that they were even darker than the Malfoys!”

“True, I do wonder, looking back, if Black was already planning to join Voldemort, or if that happened after they graduated?”

“Hard to tell, he was out of his mind when they arrested him, and I doubt the last several years with the Dementors would have improved his conversation skills.”

“True, very true. I talked to him after his arrest, trying to get some answers, but he was babbling nonsense and laughing hysterically and I couldn't make any sense at all of what he was saying. But that's enough of ancient history. My ladies have asked me to find out when you and your ladies are free to come over for dinner? It's been a few months, and I know they would love to see you and the others again.”

Hugo gave his usual belly laugh, “You mean Minnie is getting an itch to see Abby again, don't you? Those two never seem able to get enough of each other, not that I object to watching them, and I know you enjoy it too, you randy old bugger!”

Albus's laugh was the only response Hugo got.

Cho's Bedroom
The Same Time

Cho and Harry were kneeling in the ritual circle, which had been expanded to include her bed, and Cho was frowning in concentration as she drew the runes across Harry's chest and stomach. Harry had already placed the runes on her body, and she was having a hard time focusing on her work. His cock was standing erect and her mouth watered to taste him, but she knew she would be taking him in her mouth soon enough. She was nervous about other aspects of the ritual though, considering it required he take all of her virginities, including her arse, and she hadn't really considered doing that before! She was willing, especially when Harry assured her that he was experienced enough to make sure she enjoyed it, but it was still something she was worried about, especially considering how large he was!

Finally, she finished the runes, and, after examining them against the book one last time, she climbed to her feet, and Harry joined her as the climbed onto the bed. Harry could feel her nervousness and said, “I know this isn't the most romantic situation, but I'll make it up to you next time, and I promise, if you don't enjoy anal, I won't ask you to do it again. I already know Lin enjoys it, so I won't be deprived.”

She gave him a mock glare, “Harry, talking about buggering my mum isn't exactly helping to set the mood, you know!”

He grinned at her, “I know, but it made you less nervous, didn't it?”

She smiled, “Yeah, it did, a bit anyway.”

“Don't worry, I promised you I'd make sure you enjoy yourself, so, lie back, and I'll show you just how good it can be!”

Cho stretched out on the bed, her arms over her head, which was propped up on her pillows as she watched him. He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the lips before moving down her body, until his face was between her legs and his feet were dangling over the edge. Cho spread her legs, knowing what he was going to do, and hoping it felt as good as she'd heard. She shivered as his warm breath blew across her folds, before she felt his tongue slide between her lips and start to move around. She almost lost her mind when his tongue touched her nub and started circling it. She heard a distant moaning, but had no idea where it was coming from, until she realized it was her own voice moaning in pleasure. Her last conscious thought was 'Harry was right!' before the pleasure washed over her.

Harry grinned as he recognized the sure signs that Cho was cumming her brains out. He hadn't even had to use his parseltongue abilities to get her off. He paused, allowing her to recover a bit before he started again, he was determined to get her off at least twice before he slid into her, that way she would be relaxed enough to ignore the brief pain. Cho wasn't the first virgin he'd slept with, and he knew she wouldn't be the last, and he prided himself on always making sure they enjoyed the experience and were eager for more. Hell, even that bushy haired swot from the Debate Competition, Granger, was eager for more the next year. He'd had his eyes on a different girl from Granger's school that year, so he steered her toward Dudley, who was appropriately grateful. Of course, after Smeltings won the competition, he and his cousin greatly enjoyed extracting the winners reward from the two of them, watching the two girls have sex with each other for the first time was quite an experience! And then he and Dud had made sandwiches out of both the girls. They must have really liked that, because last year both girls had brought friends along. That was one hell of a weekend!

When Cho's breathing had slowed down to normal, Harry slid one of his fingertips inside her pussy and started gently rubbing the inner walls, causing her to wriggle in pleasure. Sticking his tongue out, he shaped it into a point and started teasing the little nub of flesh at the top of her opening before gently wrapping his lips around it and sucking. He kept up the rubbing and the gentle sucking and teasing and soon enough heard her moaning his name. Wanting to give her the last bit of sensation to push her over the edge, he withdrew his fingers, still slick with her juices, and slipped it between her arse cheeks. He was pleased that she was so relaxed she didn't even seem to notice what he was doing. Rubbing the the ball of his index finger around her rosebud, he used his tongue to press down on the nub at the same time he slipped the tip of his finger inside her, and was rewarded by her shrieking his name as his mouth was flooded with her juices. He felt her moving and looked up to see Cho writhing on the bed, her face soaked in sweat as she babbled incoherently. 'Hmm, she's a squirter! That's different!' Pulling back to wipe off his face, he moved so he was leaning over her, and lined up at her entrance. Leaning down to kiss her, her eyes opened and she smiled at him, before eagerly opening her mouth for his kiss.

Seeing that she was focusing again, he said, “Are you ready, Cho?”

She nodded happily, “Yes, Harry, love me? Please?”

He grinned, and, as he moved forward to bury himself inside her, started chanting the words of the ritual, forcing himself to concentrate on the words, and not on the wonderful tightness as she clenched around him. He had been watching her eyes, and, other than a brief flicker of pain when he'd pushed through her barrier, there was nothing but love and pleasure shining in them. Shouting the final word of the ritual, he leaned down and captured her mouth with his, kissing her strongly, possessively as he sped up his thrusts. Harry barely noticed the brief flare of magic when the ritual was completed, he was focused too intently on Cho. He was pleased when she started moving against him, lifting her hips off the bed to bury him deeper as she moaned into his mouth.

Cho was swimming in a sea of pleasure, she could feel her magic building within her, taking away the slight pain she felt at being opened up, and turning it into nothing but pleasure. She felt Harry's magic joining with hers, and it focused the sensations, making her want to sing out in happiness. She knew at that moment that she was his forever! There was nothing in her experience she could even compare the feeling to, not even the first time she flew and felt the absolute freedom of the skies could equal the joy she was feeling right then. And then, it got even better! She didn't know what happened, and she really didn't care, all she knew was that she had left her body behind and was soaring in the clouds, the wind in her hair as she flew above the clouds. She felt pressure on her hand, and looked over, and Harry was flying beside her, a smile as wide as hers on her face. After flying for what seemed like forever, she found herself floating back above her body, and she melted back into herself, panting from exertion. She opened her eyes and saw Harry smiling down at her, saying, “Welcome Back, Cho. Enjoy the trip?”

She giggled, and froze, feeling him still hard inside her, “You didn't...?”

He shook his head, “Not yet, I wanted to let you enjoy yourself, but now that you are back to yourself...” Harry trailed off as he reached down and grabbed her ankles, putting them over his shoulders as he put his weight on his arms and started pumping. He knew he wouldn't last long, it had taken most of his concentration to hold still and let her come down from what looked like an amazing orgasm, so he pumped quickly, and soon felt the pressure building as he exploded within her, groaning with his release.

Feeling him let loose inside her sent Cho into another wave of pleasure, and she moved her legs, reaching up to pull him into her arms as she shuddered through her climax. Far too soon, she felt him slip out of her, and he rolled over onto the bed next to her, panting with his effort. She could never say exactly what got into her then, but she slipped out of his arms and rolled over on top of him, moving down until her face was at his crotch. She was surprised that he was still mostly hard, and she gripped him with her hand, stroking him as she reached out her tongue and tentatively licked the head. She didn't even think about the fact that she was tasting her own juices mixed with his seed, she just knew that she needed to have him in her mouth, and she opened as wide as she could and took him inside her.

Harry lifted his head and blinked to focus his eyes, and smiled at the glazed look in Cho's eyes. He'd been expecting something like that from the notes on the ritual, she was literally drunk with lust, and would stay that way until the ritual concluded. He was glad he didn't have any more chanting to do, because he honestly didn't have the energy right then to do more than lay back and enjoy the feeling of her mouth on his cock. She was certainly enthusiastic, and he knew that as she got more practice she would be amazing! He felt his strength returning to his body as the magic of the ritual did its' work, but he still lay back, letting Cho worship his cock.

As he enjoyed the feelings, Harry allowed his attention to wander, looking around the room, since he'd been too focused on Cho and the ritual to pay much attention earlier. There were bookshelves along three of the four walls, which didn't surprise him, she was a Raven after all. But the Quidditch posters covering almost every bit of free space between the bookshelves was a bit of a surprise, he knew she enjoyed the game, but this was more than he expected. He 'heard' Tom make a comment that he should try and find out if he has any talent at the game, because the popularity of being good at it would help his name recognition in the future, even beyond what he got from surviving that night. Besides, it would be good to start building a record of accomplishments, especially if he could work himself into a position of leadership on the team. Harry sent back his agreement, but Cho started moving again and he wanted to concentrate on what she was doing.

Cho was surprised to find how much she was enjoying what she was doing, she knew that it was something that was expected, but always thought that a girl taking the guy's cock in her mouth was kind of demeaning to the girl, but she had to admit to herself that she was wrong. She had loved what Harry did to her with his mouth earlier, and it was only right that she do everything she could to make him feel just as good. She also liked the feeling of him in her mouth, the warmth of his flesh, and the sounds of pleasure he was making as she ran her tongue along his length. She closed her lips around him and started sucking again, using her free hand to fondle his eggs gently, drawing another moan from Harry. She was so into what she was doing, she didn't understand what it meant when she felt his balls tighten under her hand, and the way that Harry's hips jerked up, until she felt him swell in her mouth, and he let loose! She didn't even have time to blink, she just started swallowing as fast as she could, pulling her face away so she wasn't overwhelmed. She felt a frisson of pride that she was able to swallow almost everything, and licked her lips to get the rest, before looking up at Harry and seeing him smiling happily at her.

She grinned in response and climbed back up the bed, reaching for the mouthwash and tissues that Lin had set on the night table. She didn't know why they were there when she first came into the room, but now she understood. She remembered reading that most guys didn't like the taste of themselves on a girls' mouth, which was weird, because she didn't mind at all when she tasted herself after he shagged her. She shrugged mentally, it was just one of those differences between guys are girls, and accepted it. She wiped her mouth and used the mouthwash to rinse out before spitting into the rubbish can by the bed. That done, she laid down next to him, snuggling in as he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her firmly.

Harry had watched her with approval as she cleaned her mouth, because he'd been a bit concerned she would get upset if he didn't kiss her. The fact that Lin had anticipated the situation pleased him a great deal, and he was going to make sure that the older woman knew just how much. But for now, he had Cho in his arms, and she deserved his full attention, so he said, “That was amazing Cho! Thank you.”

“I enjoyed myself too, Harry.” She giggled, “I guess it's a good thing I enjoyed it, since I can already feel myself wanting to do it again! Now I understand what mum was saying about our drive increasing to meet yours, I never felt anything as amazing as what I felt earlier, and I'm still randy as hell!”

Harry chuckled, “You'll need to give me a few minutes Cho, as the saying goes, 'the spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and weak!' She giggled in response, and cuddled in closer, enjoying the warmth of his arms around her, and the satisfaction of making him feel as good as he made her feel.

They lay there for a few minutes, lost in their own thoughts, until Harry felt himself stirring again. Once again he was happy he had magic, it made his recovery time so much less than it would be ordinarily. He smothered a laugh as he remembered the way Dudley would stare at him in awe when he would be ready to go again while his cousin was still panting after they had shared their latest girl.

Rolling onto his side, he kissed Cho again, and slid his hand between her legs, pleased to see she was still extremely wet. He reached over to the table on his side of the bed and grabbed one of the condoms he had left there, as well as the lubricant. He was tempted to use the cleaning and lubricating charm Tom knew, but the ritual required that no active magic be done while in the circle, and he was a bit leery of trying any spell on such a sensitive area until he had a chance to check his control. He gently rolled Cho onto her belly and she was so relaxed she didn't tense up at all, just grabbing the pillow he had used and squeezing it to her. Moving behind her, he grabbed another pillow and slipped it under her hips, raising them off the bed slightly. He made sure to take his time with her, knowing that, until he slipped his fingertip into her earlier, she'd never had anything in her arse at all. He opened the foil package and opened it, rolling the condom over his erection before tossing the wrapper in the trash. Picking up the lubricant, he squirted some right on her rosebud, and then coated his fingers, working one inside her, wriggling it around as he loosened her up.

Cho gasped at the first penetration, but was soon purring in contentment as the new sensations spread through her. She had been extremely nervous about this, especially when she saw Harry's size, but knew it was part of the ritual and was determined to go through with it, knowing that she only had to do it one time. Even though she had teased him about it, she had actually been relieved when he mentioned that Lin enjoyed it, knowing that if she didn't like the experience, Harry wouldn't try to force her to do it anyway. She did wonder how Harry had discovered that bit of information about her mum, but set it aside for later, he had just worked another finger inside of her, and she was reveling in feelings she'd never felt before. She closed her eyes and relaxed, barely even noticing when a third finger joined the others, only opening her eyes when all the fingers were removed and she felt his hands on her cheeks, holding them apart. She winced slightly when she felt him press into her, but the pressure quickly eased, and she felt him slowly moving forward until he was all the way in. Cho noted gratefully that he stopped moving and let her adjust to the feelings before he started moving again.

Harry looked down on the girl under him, and was very glad that Tom had taught him how to use this version of Legilimency silently. He didn't even need to be looking directly into her eyes to know what she was thinking, her shields were completely down, and her mind was as open to him as her body was. He hadn't been lying when he told Cho he would do everything he could to make sure she enjoyed the experience, because, while he was quite willing to admit he wasn't the nicest guy in the world in how he treated girls he was involved with, he did want them to enjoy themselves, because that increased the likelihood of them being willing to do the same things again. Whores were a different story, he really didn't feel any need to go out of his way to give them pleasure. They were being paid after all, and they could always get themselves off after he got his. While he was in her mind, he planted the first of his 'suggestions' in her brain. It wasn't anything drastic, that would wait for later, it was just the impulse to trust him, and believe what he tells her. Since she already had those feelings, she wouldn't notice that they were reinforced.

Seeing that Cho was completely relaxed and ready for more, he pulled back and slid forward, stroking slowly until she started moving under him. He took his cues from her, and sped up his thrusts as she moved back against him, working up to a good rhythm. Harry grinned at the language that started pouring out of Cho's mouth, as she begged him in no uncertain terms to shag her arse! Not wanting to disappoint, he leaned down and grabbed her wrists, holding them to the bed as he started slamming into her, the sound of their flesh slapping echoing around the room. It only took a few minutes before Harry felt the familiar tightening in his balls and knew he was about to cum, so he released one of her hands and reached down to finger her pussy, rubbing her so she would peak at close to the same time as he did. He was rewarded as she howled out her climax just as he unloaded inside her, moaning out her name.

Pulling out, he slipped the condom off and tied it closed before throwing it away, and lay down beside her, putting his arm around her as she basked in the afterglow. She looked over at him and smiled tiredly, before putting her head down on the pillow and fell asleep. Harry smiled at her fondly, and shut his eyes, falling asleep a few minutes later.

They were still asleep several hours later when Lin took down the silencing charms and opened the door.





The Ministry Of Magic
2:30pm

Rita smiled at the guard as he weighed her wand and handed it back to her. Leaning over the counter, she gave him a brief flash of cleavage as he gave her directions to the archives. She already knew the way, of course, but felt her day wasn't complete if she couldn't tease him. Fortunately, Eric seemed to take her behavior in stride forcing her to up the ante every time she came in. Eric had shared a laugh with his wife once they caught onto her game, and his wife had wondered how long it would take before she flashed her tits at him? He shrugged, not really caring that much, especially as his wife was much more attractive and currently doing just that.

Pocketing her wand, Rita put a bit of wriggle into her walk as she headed for the lifts. She pushed the down button, and the car arrived a moment or two later. When she got on, she saw she wasn't alone, Amelia Bones was already there, reading through a file in her hands. Amelia looked up and nodded when Rita got in, before turning back to her reading.

The car started again, and soon was at level 10, and the doors opened. The both started for the opening at the same time, and Rita paused, letting the older woman go first. After she got out, she headed down the hall to the archives and pulled her notepad out of her purse. Quickly getting directions to the area she wanted, Rita set her pad down on the table and went to the file cabinet. She easily found the folders she was looking for, but was surprised at how thin they were.

Sitting down, she grabbed her dictating quill and started reading. The first folder was fairly straightforward, it was an examination of the crime scene in Godric's Hollow, and showed that both James and Lily were killed by the Killing Curse. It appeared that James had dueled with You Know Who, based on the signs of blasting and other curses in the entrance-way to the house. Lily was found in the nursery, her wand still in her hand, with an unknown spell (possibly the reason Harry survived? Rita murmured) as the last spell she cast. They also found You Know Who's robes on the floor, and some ash that it was speculated were the remains of his body. The examination of his wand showed that he had cast the Cruciatus Curse on someone between killing James and killing Lily. Rita wondered who the unlucky bastard had been to be tortured, making a note to see if Sirius Black had shown signs of torture when he was captured.

“Was there another person there that night? If so, who?” she said quietly, suddenly realizing it might not be a good thing to attract much attention to what she was doing. She paged through the rest of the folder and noted that there was no follow up to the questions of what spell Lily had cast, or who the recipient of the torture curse was. She wondered if it was just bureaucratic ineptitude, or if something else was going on?

Moving to the next file, she saw it was a record of interrogation of Sirius Black, as well as a description of the scene on the street and a time-line of the events that they got from some of the surviving muggles before they were obliviated. Rita's sense of unease grew as she read, too many things didn't make a lick of sense! The explanation of Pettigrew's' death for one thing. She wasn't a Ravenclaw, but she knew the curses that could cause that kind of an explosion, and they would leave behind far more than a single finger, and it would have shown in the muggles bodies as well. She took a look at who the Investigating Officers were and frowned, Dawlish was a disgrace, always sucking up to Crouch from what she remembered, and Gilderoy Lockhart? Sweet Merlin's Hairy Sac! He probably spent more time eying the women instead of actually investigating what happened.

Setting aside the crime scene report, she moved to the record of interrogation, and frowned again as she read over it. The only people doing the questioning were Crouch and Zeke Proudfoot, another Crouch sycophant. The questioning was brief, with Black crying and laughing and repeating it was all his fault over and over again. Paging through the folder, she didn't see any report on the examination of Black's wand to see what spells were cast, just a notation that it was snapped on the scene by Dawlish. That was minor compared to what else was missing, there was no record at all of any trial, just a form stating that Black was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, signed by Barty Crouch and approved by Silas Walker the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot. Her mind boggled at the implications, this was a lot more than a simple story now, it could make her career! Hell, if this panned out the way she expected it to, she'd be willing to be Andrew's playmate for the rest of her life. Realizing that she was currently in the belly of the beast, she stopped writing and put her pad and quill away. Looking around to see if anybody was watching her, she quickly made copies of the files and shrunk them down, putting them inside a hidden pocket in her bag, and returned the originals to their drawer.

She smiled at the clerk as she left, doing her best to keep from displaying her nervousness. Waiting for the lift, she palmed her wand, hiding most of it up her sleeve as she kept her arm at her side. She was relieved when the lift arrived and the car was empty. Pressing the button, she held her breath until it reached the lobby, and she rushed through the floo, not relaxing until she was back at the Daily Prophet, and hurried up to Andrew's office.

Seeing he was alone, she walked in and shut the door behind her, casting silencing charms all around the room before sitting down and pulling out her notes and the copies. Andrew was looking at her curiously until she started speaking. “I don't know how you got put onto this story, but take a look at what I found!” Handing over her notes and the files she sat down and finally let herself relax again.

She waited as Andrew read, his normally florid face growing paler and paler, before he looked up, “Shite! This is obscene! I knew that there was something funny going on the way it was all kept so quiet, but this... this is beyond belief.” He sat back in his chair, looking at the ceiling, “How the bloody hell did he think he could keep this quiet? And old Silas died not long after sending Black to Azkaban, what happened there? Bagnold was already planning to retire, and Crouch was primed to move up, wasn't he? That must have how he thought he could keep things quiet, he'd just try and hide the files for a few months and when he became Minister, he'd just order the files sealed.”

Sitting up again, Andrew said, “This is a hell of a lot bigger than any story, we need to go Cuffe about this! Don't worry, I'll give you the credit for what you've found out, a deal is a deal after all, but we need some protection. Crouch isn't the DMLE Head any more, but he's still got a lot of clout, and I don't want to alert him before it's time. Plus, we have the what, and I think we have the how, but we don't have the why, and we need that before we go forward.”

Rita was nodding, but said, “You know, this could really embarrass the Ministry, even if Fudge wasn't in charge at the time, he might decide that it's time for Black to be kissed by a Dementor trying to escape if we aren't careful.”

Andrew nodded, “I was thinking about that, and I think I'm going to need to talk to Harry about this, the kid is planning a career in politics, and that's top secret by the way, this could be a way to see if he has what it takes.”

Standing, he said, “Grab your notes and the files, let's go see the old man and let him know that we are working on something major and to be prepared to cover us if needed.”

Rita nodded and picked up the papers, following him out of his office and up to the Editor in Chief's domain.

The Granger Residence
Crawley
3:30pm

Hermione looked up from her desk as the owl flew through the window and dropped that days' Daily Prophet. Gesturing absently at the bowl of water and owl treats, she glanced at the headline and swore in shock. “The Boy Who Lives Speaks” it read, with the subheading “An Exclusive Interview with Harry James Potter”

“It can't be the same boy,” she muttered, until her eyes went to the picture taking up the rest of the front page. It was, it was him! She had wondered if he was a wizard when Professor McGonagall had visited her and her parents earlier that summer and explained about magic. She had never told her parents about what she had done with Harry after that first Debate Competition. She had been so angry at the way he and his team had beaten her that she confronted him, she still didn't know what she was going to say to him, but before she got a word out, she found herself leaping at him and snogging the life out of him!

Professor McGonagall had explained, when Hermione had spoken privately to her, that when a witch's magic first awakens, it can make them behave very impulsively, doing things they wouldn't ordinarily even think about. Hermione had nodded, she certainly hadn't been thinking about doing what she did when she confronted Harry, but somehow, there was nothing more important to her at that moment than getting him naked. Fortunately, he had managed to lock the door when they stopped snogging, and he had several rubbers, so she didn't have to worry about that.

He hadn't even said a word, and she still shook her head at her behavior, but it made sense that he was magical too, because, as the Professor said, 'magic wants what magic wants' and her magic must have been reacting to his. She had to admit, even as unplanned as it was, he still made losing her virginity, well, all three of them really, an extremely enjoyable experience! She hadn't expected anything more from him, and didn't even attempt to contact him afterward, she just savored the memory of their time together and went on with her life, keeping her grades up and practicing with the debate team. If more than a few people mentioned that she seemed more relaxed now, she just shrugged it off, and smiled to herself.

The only person she told was Beth, her closest friend on the team, and that was only because Beth had noticed her sitting rather gingerly on the bus back to Crawley after the competition. She had pulled Hermione into the girls bathroom the first day back at school and confronted her. Hermione had actually wanted to let Beth know, they had shared everything, and told her all. Beth had been concerned at first, but once Hermione assured her that she hadn't been forced, or pressured into anything, her friend was very interested in finding out what it was like. They didn't have time to really discuss it during the day, so with a couple of phone calls, they had a hastily arranged sleepover at Hermione's that night. It was easier than expected, because Hermione's parents were spending the night at a Hotel in London after some function they were attending, and didn't want Hermione to be sitting home alone and bored.

Hermione had snuck a bottle of wine out of the cellar, and the two of them got quite tipsy and giggly as she described everything that she had done with Harry. Beth had gasped when she told her about how she had cum when he used his mouth on her. To this day, Hermione wasn't certain whether she had kissed Beth, or Beth had kissed her, but they were both so worked up from the stories, and they were just drunk enough not to worry about it, but it led to Hermione demonstrating to Beth exactly what it had felt like when Harry licked her.

It had been a little awkward the next morning, but that was mainly because both of them had really enjoyed the experience and were afraid the other had regrets. When they talked about it, and found that both of them felt the same way, the awkwardness disappeared and they were as close as ever. They did agree that nobody else needed to know about what they'd done, because they didn't want to get a reputation at school, because it would make it harder to get into university.

Hermione smiled as she glanced over at the picture on her desk, it was her and Beth at the beach from last Summer's trip to France. She had gotten Beth to take off her bikini top, and, while she was blushing, she said that she did enjoy the glances from the others on the beach. Hermione didn't blame her, her friend did have a very nice set of tits. The two of them were almost opposites in appearance, with Beth standing a good four inches taller than Hermione's five foot even, and she was as dark as Hermione was fair skinned, Beth claimed it was from her father's side of the family who had moved to Britain after World War Two from Spain. Beth kept her black hair cut at the shoulders, which Hermione thought was a shame, she'd look even better with longer hair, but Beth insisted she didn't want the headaches of taking care of it.

Both girls were still on the Debate Team, and Beth had mentioned she was interested in seeing if Harry could make her feel just as good. They hatched a plan so she could find out. Hermione knew that Harry would probably be suspicious if she didn't show any interest in him, so she pretended to be interested, while subtly nudging him toward Beth. She didn't mind being pointed at Dudley, he was just as good looking as his cousin, in a different way, and he was an even more considerate lover than Harry had been. All in all, it worked out better than they had expected, especially when Harry got the two of them to agree to a bet on which team would win the competition. Of course, Harry thought he was the one orchestrating things, but she and Beth had already agreed ahead of time on what they would be willing to do, and Harry's bet didn't even come close to their self assigned limits.

It was amusing to let Harry think he was persuading her and Beth to make out, and she had to admit, Beth did a great job of acting the part of the reluctant virgin. If they only knew! It was a bit surprising when the two boys took her at the same time, but she quickly started enjoying the sensation, especially when Beth knelt over Dudley and put her pussy right in reach of her tongue.

The next year was even wilder, because Jen and Barbara, who were a year younger than she and Beth, and also on the Debate Team had approached the two of them one Monday night after a practice and everyone else had left. They were surprised to see that Jen had seen them kissing after a practice the week before, and they wanted to know if she and Beth were a couple. They shrugged, Hermione had never really thought about it, they just were. The two of them had dated a few different guys, and even snogged a couple of them, but none of them had gotten her turned on enough to go any further.

It turned out that the younger girls were lovers, and interested in the two of them. She and Beth glanced at each other, and a silent conversation took place. Hermione's parents were staying out over night that Friday night, and another 'sleepover' was arranged. She and Beth had decided to arrange a bit of a 'surprise' for the two girls and borrowed one of her parents cars for a trip into London the next evening. She and Beth had dressed older than they were, and a bit of makeup made them both look over 18. That, and some discreetly flashed cleavage ensured that the clerk in the adult toy shoppe didn't ask them for ID. The two girls managed to keep a straight face until they were in the car, but then they burst out laughing. It took them several minutes before they could get themselves under control enough for Hermione to be able to drive.

Hermione was going to grab some more wine from the cellar, but Barbara stopped her, pulling out a plastic baggie and a glass tube. That was the first time she had experienced smoking marijuana, and really didn't like the way it effected her, so she didn't smoke it again.

Naturally the girls wanted to know how she and Beth had gotten together, and Hermione told them, to giggles and gasps from the two younger girls, although Jen had a speculative gleam in her eye at the end of it that both she and Beth had noticed. That was Hermione's cue, as she asked Jen if she wanted to find out what it felt like? Both girls were interested, and Hermione pulled out the bag from the toy shoppe and pulled out two strap-ons and harnesses. By the end of the night, the two younger girls were determined to be included after the next competition.

She was pulled from her musings by her mobile phone ringing. Checking the caller ID, she smiled as she recognized Beth's number. She wasn't expecting Beth to call, yesterday had been her 16th birthday, and her family had a party going into the wee hours, so Beth was planning on taking it easy today.

“Hey babe, what's up?”

Beth's voice was trembling with excitement, “Hermione, you won't believe what just happened! You know how all kinds of strange things happened around us? Well, my parents and I just had a visitor that explained it, and I'm going to be going to a special school in the fall to start learning how to control it.”

Hermione gasped, “Hogwarts?”

“How did you know that name? It's supposed to be a secret!”

“Because I was sworn to secrecy too, when my parents and I got a visit from Professor McGonagall after school let out! I was worried about how to tell you, that's why I didn't say anything. And guess what I just found out? Harry Potter is going to be there too!”

The two girls spend the next twenty minutes talking before agreeing to talk to their parents about traveling together so Beth could get her school supplies.


The Rookery
4pm Same Day

Luna was sitting in the living room, her sketch pad in her lap, her eyes unfocused as her hand moved the charcoal across the page. She wasn't paying any attention to what her hand was drawing, her mind was focused on her dream from the night before. She still had no idea who the man in the dream with her was, although she was aware that she knew who he was in the dream, the only feature that she could remember when she awoke, her bed soaked in sweat and her knickers around her ankles, was his green eyes. She knew it was a prophetic dream, her mum had helped her to recognize the signs and they had made great progress after the night she woke up screaming in terror. That had been almost seven years ago, and she could still remember seeing the explosion, and her mother's broken body, dying as she cried helplessly next to her. Fortunately her mum had gotten her calmed down enough to describe the dream, and Selene recognized the spell she was working on that caused the explosion. She canceled the experimenting until she could understand what caused the accident, and found that there was a mistranslation of two of the runes in the manuscript, which would have had catastrophic results.

Since that day, Selene had worked with her at least an hour every day, sometimes more, training her gift. It was fortunate that her mum was from a family that had several true seers, because she was able to get help, in the form of both books and the occasional personal visit, to assist in winnowing out the true visions from normal dreams and nightmares. Thinking back to last nights dream, she wished she knew who it was that was making her feel so good. Last night wasn't the first time she had seen him in her dreams, and most of them had been sexual, but sometimes they weren't. She hadn't mentioned the non-sexual ones to her mum yet, because she really didn't understand what she was seeing. She only got brief glimpses of the man sitting on a throne in a large room, and there were several other women with her, there was one woman, with long shining black hair sitting beside the man, and she was sitting slightly below him, above all the other girls who were sitting on cushions around them, facing into the room where a line of people were waiting for them. The dream had faded as an older man with a flowing mustache and a slight limp moved forward to kneel in front of the man.

She had shared the sexual dreams with her mum without embarrassment, they had always been able to discuss sexual matters, ever since Luna had seen her parents making love when she was 10 years old. She hadn't even blinked when Luna came to her not long after her 14th birthday and described some of the things that she remembered doing in the dreams, and simply went and got some books about sex and pointed out the sections on fellatio and cunnilingus, as well as discussing bisexuality and polyamorous relationships. Also, since Selene recognized that the situation Luna was describing was more than likely a Harem situation, she found a book written by one of her great grandmothers about life inside a Harem. Luna was fascinated by the idea of being in a Harem, ever since reading 1,001 Nights when she was younger, although she didn't really understand what was actually going on for a few more years.

Luna was pulled from her reminiscing by the sound of the floo, and she heard a voice calling “Hello Selene, are you there?” Luna smiled at recognizing her Uncle Ollie's voice as her mother went and answered him.

Luna didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two of them, besides yelling Hello to her uncle, but when he mentioned one of his customers that day who would be contacting Selene she started paying closer attention, feeling it was important for some reason. They were talking about a friend of mum's from Hogwarts, and her uncle mentioned Lily's son, who had his bright green eyes Luna almost dropped the sketch pad and she focused her full attention on the two of them. When Uncle Ollie mentioned the name Harry Potter, everything snapped into place and she could suddenly see the features of the man in her dreams, the green eyes and faded scar, the messy black hair, everything! She had to force herself to stay seated and listen to the conversation, which let her know that Harry would be contacting her mother sometime to talk about Lily. The conversation ended soon after that, because Uncle Ollie said he had customer.

When Selene turned from the floo, she looked over at Luna and was concerned to see her daughter clutching the seat cushions and her face was flushed as she panted. The concern eased when she saw Luna rubbing her thighs together, and her nipples pressing through the shirt she was wearing. Realizing what was going on, Selene said, “Luna, go upstairs and take care of things before you hurt yourself, and then come back down so we can talk, okay?”

Luna blinked when she heard her mothers' voice, and got up off the couch and hurried up to her bedroom. She came back down several minutes later after washing her hands, a fresh pair of knickers under her skirt.

When she got back downstairs, Selene was sitting at the kitchen table, two glasses of juice waiting. Luna sat down and Selene gestured toward one of the glasses, and Luna sipped the apple juice gratefully. When she put the glass down, Selene gently asked, “Are you able to talk about it, Luna?”

Luna smiled happily and nodded, “I know who he is now, momma! As soon as Uncle Ollie mentioned Harry's name, his features became clear in my memory, and I remembered everything! It's such a relief to know who I've been waiting for, it was getting to be irritating.”

Selene nodded, “That's what I thought, I know you've been having a lot of dreams, including ones you haven't told me about, that featured the green eyes. When Harry writes me, would you like me to invite him to visit?”

Luna thought for a few minutes before nodding, “And let him know he can bring his girlfriend along, she's going to be important to this as well.”

“I'll do that, but remember, you won't be 16 for a few months, and your father and I would be most unhappy with you if you broke your promise to wait until then.”

Luna shook her head, “You don't need to worry, I could see out of a window the first time we were together like that, and there was snow on the trees, so it won't be til December at least. I won't break my promise to you.”

Selene smiled, “I know you weren't planning to break your promise, but I know how it is at your age, and remember, 'magic wants what magic wants' and sometimes we lose control of ourselves. Just to be on the safe side, I'm going to start brewing some contraceptive potions and I want you to take them every day, okay?”

Luna grimaced, knowing that the potion didn't taste very nice, but nodded her agreement. With that, the conversation turned to other subjects.


Chang's Apothecary
3:45pm

Lin had been having a hard time concentrating most of the day, knowing what was going on above her head, to the point where her assistant, Gina, asked her if she was feeling alright? Lin had smiled and told Gina that she was fine, just had a lot on her mind. Gina had shaken her head and said, “Look, it's been quiet for the last couple of hours, why don't you take off for the afternoon and go enjoy the day. You've got your mirror don't you?” When Lin nodded, Gina said, “If I run into something I can't handle, I'll call you. You've trained me well enough I can handle closing up for you.” Lin nodded, she knew she could trust Gina, the girl had worked for her for 3 years now, and would be taking over the shop when she took the position at Hogwarts in September anyway, so she just hung up her work robes and walked out the door.

Going up to the apartment, she was relieved that the silencing spell was still in place, but she wanted to make sure Cho was alright. She knew that Harry wouldn't deliberately hurt her daughter, she had told Prissy, their elf, to keep an eye out, and if Harry had done anything that Cho didn't want him to do, she had permission to stop him. The elf had agreed and popped away. Drawing her wand, she tapped it against her forehead and looked through the wall of Cho's bedroom. She smiled at the scene before her. Both Cho and Harry were sound asleep, their arms wrapped around each other. What really eased her mind was the beatific smile on Cho's face. Her daughter was obviously quite pleased with her situation, and Harry must have treated her very nicely. It didn't bother her seeing Cho naked, she knew that she would be getting used to the sight soon enough, but she wished that Cho hadn't been positioned with her leg over Harry's, she really wanted to see just how he compared with his father, but she couldn't tell from this angle.

Checking her cabinets, she saw she needed a few things for dinner that night, and made a quick list before grabbing her Gringotts key and leaving the apartment. Stopping by the vegetable market, she made her choices and called Prissy to take them back home and put them away. She walked down the Alley, not having any particular destination in mind, just enjoying the warmth of the day, but her eye was caught by a sign in a window announcing a Grand Opening. It was a used bookseller, and, curious, she stepped inside for a look around. The light was much dimmer than it was outside, so it took her a minute to adjust. She was amazed to see a huge section of books from muggle writers, but she was delighted to recognize several authors who Lily had introduced her to. Grabbing a shopping basket, it was soon carrying several books by Jackie Collins and a few others. She even found several books in the Gor series, which she and Lily had giggled over in Hogwarts, although Lily was well aware that Lin really wished she could be one of the girls in the books.

Before long, her basket was almost overflowing, and she considered grabbing another basket, but decided to wait and come back another day. She got into line at the counter and lost herself in her memories of James and Lily. She had been so distracted she almost didn't notice a voice calling her name until a hand waved in front of her face. She jerked back with a start, only to see the concerned cornflower blue eyes of her old friend Charity. She smiled in pleasure at seeing her again, and apologized, “I'm sorry, I was just daydreaming, thinking about James and Lily.”

Charity nodded, blowing a strand of her honey blonde hair out of her face, “I can imagine, I saw the paper this morning, their son is starting Hogwarts this year. I doubt I'll get him in class, especially since the paper said he grew up in the Muggle world.” Noticing the grin on Lin's face, Charity said, “You know something! Spill!”

Lin shook her head, and said, “Not here, but why don't we take a walk when you finish your shopping?”

“That good?” Charity asked with a raised eyebrow, “Meet me outside, I'll be done in couple of minutes.”

By that time, Lin was next in line, and soon had her books bagged up and sent home with Prissy. Stepping outside the shoppe, she blinked in the bright sunlight, and waited for Charity. True to her word, it was no more than about five minutes later that she stepped out the door. Leading the way, Lin took Charity down to the park that she and Cho enjoyed so much, and, after picking up a cold drink from a cart vendor who was working the area, sat down on one of the benches.

When there was nobody in earshot, Charity drew her wand and cast a 'Notice Me Not' spell around them and said, “Okay, what's going on, you had the sneakiest grin I've seen outside of Slytherin.”

Lin chuckled, “It's far more than just Harry attending Hogwarts this year that got me reminiscing, Char, my daughter met him yesterday, and introduced us. He's the spitting image of James, in more ways than one. I doubt Hogwarts is going to know what hit it when he arrives.”

Charity's eyes widened as she realized what Lin was saying, “Oh boy, Poppy's gonna be peeved having to make up so much potion this year, isn't she?”

“Probably, but it can't be helped. He and Cho connected yesterday, and she had to explain about Jeremy's Law to him. I had Cho invite him over this morning, and I did a scan, I'm not going to say what came up, but he's going to be very busy this year!”

“How many?”

“At least 10 this year, probably as many as 20 before he graduates.”

“Sweet Merlin! And you left Cho alone with him? Are you trying to be a grandmother already?”

“Not hardly, Cho isn't anywhere close to being fertile, neither am I, but it wouldn't do any good even if I tried to keep them apart, I could almost see Cho's magic pulling her to Harry, and I won't say I was immune either.”

“I know, I know, 'magic wants what magic wants' I never really understood that until I met Sirius, the bastard! It's too bad that Magic can't let you know that what is wants is a monster. It wouldn't have changed anything, but at least I would have been warned I was going to be heartbroken at the end of it.”

Lin hugged her friend as the tears started to flow. Holding her as she cried, before Charity pulled away and wiped her eyes. “You'd think I'd be over it by now, since it's been so many years, but, no such luck.”

Changing the subject, Charity said, “So, are you going to be comparing father and son?”

Lin blushed and nodded, and said, “He read me like a book, and knew just what to say to me to set me off. He came up to me in the shop while Cho was outside, and told me to hand him my knickers! I almost creamed them just from the idea, and after I pulled up my skirt to take them off, giving him a show in the process, I had to go back into the back and take care of myself before I was ready to open the doors.”

Charity laughed, “That doesn't surprise me, I remember the night that you, Lily and I were reading the Gor books and how you had to finger yourself ever few chapters.” She smirked at Lin, “In fact, didn't I see a few of those titles in your basket a little while ago?”

Lin blushed but nodded, and Charity said, “There's no need to be embarrassed Lin, you know I'm just teasing you. Hell, we've all got out kinks, as you know, you and Lily got to see mine often enough.”

Lin chuckled in agreement, remembering Charity's penchant for what she called 'the danger shags' where she and Sirius almost got caught multiple times, including one time on the Staff Table right before breakfast.

Charity continued, “So, tell me about Harry. Obviously I'm not going to be going after him, a student would just be wrong! But I'll admit I'm still curious.”

Lin nodded, and started talking, telling Charity about each of the times she had spoken to Harry, and every detail she could think of. When she described the size of the bulge she had seen in his trousers the morning, Charity's eyes widened and she said, “Damn, even James wasn't carrying that much around! And you're planning to let him stick that thing up your arse? Are you nuts, he'd tear you apart!”

“Pfft! It's all in the preparation, and there's a spell that gets you ready with no problem, and it has the added benefit of getting it all cleaned out as well. There was nothing that made me feel more submissive than taking James in my mouth after he shagged my arse, and I didn't have to worry about where it had just been. You should try it sometime.”

Charity looked at her dubiously, “The problem with that is, decent wizards aren't exactly easy to get a hold of, and the ones that I've had in class would just be too awkward, even after they graduated.”

Lin sat quietly for a few seconds before getting a wicked grin, “You know, Harry isn't actually a student for another few weeks, and I know he'd love to watch two witches together....” She trailed off, snickering at the shocked look on her friends' face. Lin knew Charity well enough to be aware that she wouldn't reject the idea out of hand, and she also really wanted to have Charity in her bed again. The blond had been one of her few regular lovers after James and Lily, but they had drifted apart over the years. Lin really wanted to try and rekindle that closeness.

Charity sighed, “I'll admit, I'm tempted, I never got to try James, because Sirius would have wanted Lily, and neither James or Lily would have gone for that idea, but if I sleep with Harry now, what's to say he won't want to come back for more during the school year?”

Lin frowned, she really hadn't considered how seriously her friend would take her responsibilities as a teacher, she just remembered her fun loving friend from school and later. After thinking for a few minutes, she said, “What if we ask him for a Wizard's Oath that he won't approach you for a rendezvous during the school year, or giving any indication that the two of you had slept together? Would that satisfy your concerns?”

Charity considered it for a few moments before nodding. “I think so, that would still allow us to talk about non school items without him having to worry about losing his magic. And I wouldn't have to worry about losing my job for conduct unbecoming a staff member. Alright, I'm in!”

Lin beamed in happiness, and said, “I'll talk to him about it tonight and owl you in the morning. I'm sure he'll be interested in meeting you, even if he balks at the oath, just because you knew his parents, and he's very interested in learning more about them.”

Glancing at her watch, Lin saw that it was close to 5 o'clock. “I'm afraid I need to get moving, they should be waking up soon, and I want to make sure dinner is prepared properly.” With a quick kiss, eagerly returned, Lin stood up and she and Charity walked back out of the alley before going their separate ways.

The Burrow
The Same Time

Ron stretched and got up from his desk, marking the page in the First Year Charms textbook that he'd been working in. Walking around to work out the kinks in his back, he went down to the kitchen to grab a drink. His mum was already at the stove, he wasn't sure what was for dinner, but it smelled wonderful. She looked up and smiled at him as he came in the room and Ron said, “Just need to get some juice, I'm almost done the chapter, but needed a stretch.”

“That's fine, your father should be home in about a half an hour, and dinner will be ready. I'll call you when it's time to eat.”

Ron smiled, “Thanks Mum! I smelled it as I came down the steps and it smells excellent.”

“I should hope so!” Molly grinned, “So how's the studying going?”

“I think it's going well, I'm pretty sure I've got most of the wand movements down, but I won't know for sure until I get to Hogwarts and can actually use my wand instead of the stick I'm using.”

She nodded, “Why don't you bring your book down after dinner and show me what you're doing, I'll check against the book and see if anything needs adjusting.”

“Thanks, I'd appreciate it. Anyway, if I don't get back to it, I won't be done by dinner, and I really want to go for a fly tonight before it gets too dark.”

Molly waved him off with a smile, still amazed at the change in her formerly lazy son. She didn't know what Luna had said to him last Summer, but it made a complete change in his attitude. While he was nowhere near as studious as Percy, he was making a serious effort to learn the material in his school books. But it wasn't just the attitude about studying that had changed, he was making an effort to improve his table manners as well, and keeping control of his temper. She chuckled, that was a mighty task all by itself, considering both Weasleys' and Prewetts' were notorious for their tempers.

Turning back to the stew, she dipped her wooden spoon in to the pot and took a taste. Licking her lips, she said, “Needs a bit more pepper,” and grabbed the seasoning.

Ron sat down at the desk, and opened his book, re-reading the instructions for the Levitation Charm. He picked up the stick and compared his grip to the diagram and shifted his hand slightly until they matched exactly. He read over the pronunciation several times, tapping the book to hear the it spoken aloud, and then spent the next few minutes practicing the swish and flick several times until he was certain he had it correct before putting them together. When he was satisfied that he had them down, he moved to the next spell in the book.

Ginny walked past his door and smiled as she saw Ron hard at work. She didn't bother him because she understood why he was working so hard. She'd actually been there with Luna when she told him of his need to change, and had watched with no small admiration as he took her words to heart and started making changes in himself. Not that she blamed him of course, what Luna had seen scared the shite out of her, and she wasn't even involved! She had known that Ron felt overshadowed by his brothers, which was understandable, since they had all managed to make their mark already, but she hadn't realized it had gone so deeply. Hearing Luna say that if he continued the way he was going, he would end up dying alone and friendless, abandoned by his family, before he graduated Hogwarts was enough to force him to change. Ron had asked her and Luna not to say anything, because he didn't want their parents or brothers to know what had been in store for him, and they both agreed.

After Ron had left, still in a daze, she had asked Luna if her friend had seen anything about her? Luna grimaced and said that she had seen some bad times ahead for her, but she would come through them and find great happiness. When she had pressed Luna for details, her friend just said that the details weren't clear, she didn't know what caused the bad times, but she blushed slightly when she mentioned finding great happiness. That had really intrigued her, because Luna never got embarrassed, by anything! But Luna wouldn't say any more, and Ginny tried to put it from her mind.

Cho's Bedroom
6pm

Cho blinked sleepily when she heard the knock on the door, and her mother's voice calling her. Stretching, she froze when she realized she wasn't alone in her bed. It only took an instant to remember what had happened, and she smiled happily, ignoring the slight ache between her legs. Calling out to let her mum know she was awake, she nudged Harry awake as well. She didn't even blush when her mum opened the door to let them know dinner would be ready soon, although she smirked when her mum's eyes went to Harry's cock, which, even in it's resting state was still impressive. She still could hardly believe she had taken all of him inside her, but wouldn't have missed it for anything.

Lin said, “You might want to take a quick shower and wash the runes off before you come to the table, you know how Prissy can be.”

Harry looked at her and asked, “Prissy?”

“Our House Elf, she's been with us for years, I'll introduce you to her after we clean up.”

Harry nodded and slid out of bed. He said, “If you'll let me use the bathroom real quick, you can take the first shower.”

Cho grinned, “Sure you don't want to join me and save some water?”

Harry laughed lightly, “If we did that, we'd be late for dinner, and I don't know about you, but I worked up an appetite this afternoon.” Growing serious, he said, “In case I didn't say it before, you were wonderful Cho, thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift.”

“Thank you, Harry. I have to say, you made it better that I had ever imagined it could be, and you gave me wonderful dreams.” She moved closer and said, “I even loved it when you took my bum, and I was scared it would hurt, so I wouldn't mind if you wanted to do that again, okay?”

Harry smiled, “I promised you I would make sure you enjoyed it, and I always do my best to keep a promise. Now, let me take care of things and we can get cleaned up.”

After he had used the toilet and came back out, he watched Cho walk into the bathroom and he heard the shower start. He chuckled, thinking 'What an afternoon! And now I've got Lin to look forward to? It's good to be me!'

After Harry finished his shower, he went to the bag he had packed that morning and pulled out a fresh pair of trousers and a shirt. Getting dressed, he walked out the bedroom door and joined Lin and Cho at the table.

Lin looked at him with a grin and said, “Cho's been telling me about her afternoon, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's not often a guy your age is that talented, and I look forward to experiencing things for myself.”

Cho laughed, “Just remember to put up the silencing charms Mum, I'm going to have a hard enough time sleeping as it is, and I don't need to be hearing the two of you going at it like minks.”

Lin nodded, “I think we will both be using the silencing charms a lot, until we get used to the idea.”

Harry kept his face impassive, not wanting to show his surprise at the lack of jealousy or discomfort in Cho's voice and demeanor. He had been planning to remove those feelings because he was sure that she would be jealous of him shagging another woman. He had lots of practice after all, what with the different girls he shagged at school, especially the few who also had sisters or mothers who made their way into his bed. Shrugging mentally, he joined the conversation and started enjoying the meal.
