Choices

'Oh Harry!...' Hermione half-moaned, half whimpered as Harry kept thrusting in and out of her body. It was their last night in Grimmauld and after hours of teasing and sexual games, they finally made it to the room and started making love.

'The silencing – charm... is broken,' Harry gasped as he kept thrusting and groaned as he felt Hermione's body squeezing his member as she reached her climax. Her body arched and her breasts pressed against his torso. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and Harry's name slipped from her lips in an ecstatic scream of pleasure. It was all too much for Harry and with a scream he let go, coming inside Hermione's body. They could feel the wind blowing around them and all their candles extinguished, leaving the bedroom in the moonlight. Still panting, Harry collapsed on Hermione's body and started kissing and nipping her right breast, making her moan and sigh.

'At least the contraceptive charm isn't broken.' Hermione said between gasps.

Harry looked up at her and smiled as he saw her beautiful face flushed and smiling. He reached upwards and captured her lips with his in a kiss as he rolled over and took her with him. Hermione landed on top of him but didn't break the kiss. The last few days with the house being repaired and repainted, from the beginning Harry was more than happy to spend time in and out of his and Hermione's bedroom. The Easter holidays finished too soon in Harry's opinion and the idea of the final exams made both his and Hermione's stomachs ache but Harry wanted to enjoy their time out of school as much as they could. Hermione broke the kiss with a gasp as she felt Harry's arms slipping down her back and cupping her bottom. She grinned and made her self more comfortable on Harry's body.

'If Ron and Luna heard us, he is going to give us hell tomorrow morning.' Hermione said and Harry could see her blushing.

Harry smiled down at her and grinned as Hermione placed both her hands against his torso and rested her head on the back of her hands. Hermione pecked Harry's chest and winked at him. Harry was more than happy to have Hermione as his girlfriend; it was incredible to be able to have the same person as best friend and lover. He remembered their first time with a grin on his face and leaned to kiss Hermione's temple.

I was so shocked when we made love for the first time; I was speechless when I saw you naked. Harry sent through the bond and Hermione grinned.

Was I that bad? Hermione asked with a playful grin and yelped again as Harry squeezed her bottom as an answer.

Weren't you scared to see me naked? Harry asked and Hermione seemed embarrassed and looked away for a second. Harry could feel her nervousness and frowned as he looked at her.

What is it? Harry asked and Hermione looked at him and he could easily see the guilt in her eyes along with a flicker of mischief.

The night of my birthday wasn't the first time I saw you naked. Hermione said through the bond and Harry's eyes widened.

'What?' he asked out loud and Hermione tried to hide a smile and explain herself.

'The night we came to take you from the Dursleys and the entire team took the polyjuice potion... I peeked.' Hermione said and Harry felt his cheeks getting hot. He hadn't thought of the possibility of everyone looking at "him" while they were under the influence of polyjuice. His stomach ached at the thought of Fred, George and even Ron, who was famous for how much of a git he could be, looking at his anatomy. His greatest surprise however was Hermione. Hermione smiled and looked at him with sympathy. 'I asked Ron if he had peeked and he said no, and the twins actually cursed for not thinking of it. Of course I wasn't that blunt with the questions and I asked when they were drunk at Bill and Fluer's wedding, so I suppose I'm the only one who peeked.' Hermione said and Harry felt a breath of relief leaving his lungs. His frown turned to a grin and rolled over once more, trapping Hermione against his body and the mattress.

'And why did you peek, young lady?' Harry asked and stared nipping her neck, making her moan softly.

'Well I couldn't resist the chance to check out the boy I wanted…' Hermione said and Harry raised his head and looked in her smiling eyes with a grin on his face.

'You,' Harry started and nipped Hermione's neck, 'little,' he moved upwards and captured her earlobe with his lips and teeth, 'wicked,' he went on by slowly licking the sensitive skin behind her ear, making Hermione gasp and purr 'witch.' He finished by capturing her lips with his and her breasts with his hands, starting a new love game.

The next day, the two couples packed everything up and moved into the kitchen for breakfast. Both Harry and Hermione were sleepy and Ron could only smirk and shake his head next to the always-seemingly-dreamy Luna. Neither Harry nor Hermione could believe that their friend actually teased them about their sexual encounter the last night but they tried to get used to teasing like that since they had grown up with Ron and both of them knew that he'd never try to make them feel bad, only very uncomfortable. Ron, every once in awhile, pretended to choke and both Harry and Hermione could hear the word "bunnies" between his chokes and after that Luna always elbowed him. The day went by with the couples getting ready for their return to Hogwarts through the floo network which McGonagall had connected the house with.

When both couples returned to the castle, they moved to their towers and then down to the grounds since they had that day free. Hermione was ready to excuse herself and go to the Head tower to start studying but Harry asked her to stay with him that last day, Hermione accepted with a smile and a promise from him of them studying later. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna sat under "their" tree close to the lake and looked around. They all wanted to make sure that Ginny and Malfoy would return so they could talk to them.

'I think you, Harry, should talk to the ferret.' Ron said and Harry looked at his friend, surprised.

'Why me? You're her bother.' Harry said and Ron tried to explain.

'Well, if I go we will probably end up hexing each other. Besides he may accept to talk to you since you helped him with the court and stuff. Luna, Herms and I can talk to Ginny.' Ron said and Harry sighed in defeat as he could see the logic in Ron's words, even if such thing happened rarely. Deep down, Harry was feeling guilty for challenging Malfoy the night of his and Hermione's patrol, causing the young Malfoy to show up for Ron's birthday. Hermione knew about Harry's feelings and both of them had decided not to talk about that night to Ron. Harry nodded in acceptance.

'Thank you, mate.' Ron said and Harry just smiled. The four fell silent for awhile and Harry's gaze traveled to the tombs. He could recognize which tomb was Fred's, which one was Remus' and which one was Tonks'. He felt Hermione nudging his arm and he looked at the gates of Hogwarts. There, Ginny and Draco had just apparated and started moving onto the grounds of the castle. Draco and Harry's eyes met for a moment and the blonde man hugged Ginny's shoulders bringing her closer to him. Luna gripped Ron's arm and Harry could feel only worry for the image before his eyes. Mr. Weasley was probably right; Ginny, sooner or later, could be hurt.

'The right time to talk to him is after the Quidditch match, Harry.' Hermione murmured close to Harry as he lay next to her in her bed. Harry laid flat on his back and sighed. He turned and looked at her. Two days had gone by since the students had returned from the holidays and the next Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin would take place in less than twenty four hours. Harry reached and took Hermione's hand, bringing it close to his mouth and placing a kiss on her knuckles. Hermione smiled from her side on the magically expanded bed and lay close to Harry on her side. She propped her head on her hand and with her other hand started caressing Harry's fresh, messy hair. Harry smiled at her touch and enjoyed it. He had just come out of the shower and he loved having Hermione play with him, in more ways than one.

'I know, I'll be waiting for both teams to leave and then I'll try to talk to him somewhere quiet. I don't think he'll reject the idea.' Harry said and Hermione nodded and placed a kiss on his cheek. Harry turned his head slightly and captured her lips with his in a sweet good night kiss. Harry wrapped Hermione in his hug and tried to push her so she could lay on her back but Hermione protested grinning and broke the kiss.

'Not tonight, love. You need your strength for the Quidditch match tomorrow. I haven't missed a match, and I don't want to be the cause of the Captain and Seeker's exhaustion.' Hermione said and Harry could see the satisfaction at his torture in her eyes.

'Darned Quidditch.' Harry murmured and felt shocked at his own words; Hermione heard his words and sensed his shock and just laughed and kissed Harry's cheek again.

'Placing me and our sex life over Quidditch... You're the best boyfriend.' Hermione said and turned around so her back was against Harry's chest. He sighed and brought Hermione's body flat against his, desperate to feel her body at least in this way…

'The best boyfriend is going to be left with no sex.' Harry murmured defeated and heard Hermione chuckled and whispered a soft "'Night, love" before falling asleep.

Harry looked around a bit nervously. He and his teammates were in the changing room, ready to fly onto the pitch after Luna's announcement; She would be the spokesman from now on. Harry looked at Ron who looked back at him and then his eyes traveled to Ginny, who was in the far end of the small room, tugging down her sleeve without a word to anyone. Harry sighed and tried to clear his mind from all the things he had to do after the match. This game would determine the champion for that year between the two old "enemies", Gryffindor and Slytherin.

'Please welcome the brave Lions of the Gryffindor team!' Luna's voice was heard around the pitch and Harry nodded to his team. The door of the changing room opened and the seven players flew into the air. Harry looked around and spotted Hermione on her seat close to the professors, smiling up at him. He smiled back and then landed on the centre of the pitch where madam Hootch and Malfoy were standing. Madam Hootch spoke.

'You two have moved on from fighting and beating each other in this field so I want a clean game and peace after it.' She said and both Harry and Malfoy nodded.

'I want to have a word with you, after the game.' Harry said and Malfoy nodded. The two players got onto their broomsticks and madam Hootch started the game. Both Harry and Malfoy flew upwards and scanned the field for the Snitch.

Two chasers of Slytherin flew close to Ron's rings but Ginny and Helena Halliwell stopped them, took the quaffle and scored in a few moments. Harry smiled as his team scored first and Luna literally screamed in joy for the Gryffindors but his smile disappeared when he saw Malfoy's smile as he looked at Ginny, even though she was the one who had scored against Slytherin. Harry had the same smile when he was looking at Hermione when a professor had praised her. He tried to clear his mind again and looked around. The day was sunny and warm but the sun didn't help Harry much.

The match went on with both teams scoring and the two seekers trying to find the small golden ball. Harry many times looked at Hermione while Malfoy looked at Ginny. Harry looked around him but didn't find anything.

'The score is Gryffindor 120, Slytherin 110. Let's hope the lions will win before the evil Mimbles give them bad luck.' Luna's voice said and Harry chuckled and rolled his eyes. A flick of gold caught his attention and he turned his broomstick to his left. Malfoy passed him by rushing in the same direction. Harry hurried and soon was right next to Malfoy. The two men started pushing each other with their shoulders and both of them stretched their arms out to catch the Snitch. Harry's broomstick was faster and with another try the Snitch was wrapped in Harry's fingers. Harry just smirked at Malfoy and started the round of the pitch to show Gryffindor's victory.

'Gryffindor wins!' Luna shouted and the houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff started cheering for the victory. Harry smiled at everyone as his teammates approached him. Ginny landed on the ground and moved first to the changing room. The Slytherins followed and Harry looked at Hermione, beaming. She smiled at him and nodded in Ginny's direction. Harry nodded and after a few more hugs with his teammates left for the changing rooms. He had plenty of time to celebrate in the Gryffindor common room later.

He moved inside the changing room and found Ginny already changed and tying her casual boots. Harry looked around, the Slytherins were in the other changing room and he knew Malfoy needed time so the rest of Slytherins could leave. Ginny looked up at Harry and then lowered her head and kept tying her shoes.

'Can we talk, Gin?' Harry asked and Ginny didn't respond. Harry sat next to her and set his broom close to him, removing his gloves and cloak. Ginny was ready to start tying her other shoe when Harry gripped her arm to stop her. Ginny jerked her arm away.

'What do you want, Harry? I thought the night of Valentine's Day and Ron's party was enough talking.' Ginny said and Harry sighed. He didn't know how to calm her or make Ginny more accepting. He didn't know how to treat her when she was angry. Harry didn’t know Ginny.

'Look, I know you're probably mad at me and Hermione, but being with Malfoy won't solve your problems.' Harry said and saw Ginny's face got redder.

'You still think I'm with him because of you and Hermione? You think I gave my family up because I want to be with him so I can be over you? Get over yourself, Harry. I love Draco. Like you do with Hermione.' Ginny said and took her wand and tied her shoe by magic. 'Just try to think how grateful you were when Ron accepted you and her and try to be just as accepting with me and Draco. If you can't, then just stop bothering me. You were right, we couldn't be together. We don't match at all. I know nothing of you other than the surface and you obviously didn't learn a single thing about me during the years you've known me and the weeks we were together.' Ginny said and stormed out of the small room. Harry sighed and shook his head. He knew Ginny was right about many things. He also knew he had to, eventually, accept her with Malfoy, but not before he had talked to him. The crowd was still cheering outside but Harry waited for awhile and then moved from a back door in the changing room of the Slytherins to find Malfoy on his own, waiting.

'You wanted to talk to me, Potter. I'm listening.' Malfoy said and Harry nodded and moved close to the blonde man. Harry leaned against the closest wall and looked at Malfoy.

'I talked with Ginny and she said she loves you.' Harry began. 'I believe her but I don't know what you want from her.' Harry went on and Malfoy frowned.

'These questions should be asked by your best friend, and I don't mean Granger.' Malfoy said. 'I didn't know I had to ask Gin's ex.' Malfoy said and Harry tried not to burst at him.

'I'm not here to fight with you.' Harry said and Malfoy looked at him.

'I know.' He said and moved a bit away. The pitch was silent by now. 'I know you want the best for Ginny, like her family and friends do. But believe me I want the same.' Malfoy said.

'Attempting to kill Dumbledore, making sure Hermione was the one Bellatrix so desperately wanted and your father deceiving Ginny with Voldemort's diary makes it hard for me to believe.' Harry said with a tone of sarcasm in his voice. Malfoy turned around and moved close to Harry with a few strides.

'Listen to me carefully. I let the Death Eaters into Hogwarts because I wanted to save my mother and not my father. I had to tell Bellatrix about Hermione because if I didn't, my family would be dead the moment their master was back in the Malfoy manor. I had no idea what games my father was playing back in second year. I was just twelve!' Malfoy hissed and moved away. He took a few steps and threw his arms in the air.

'Ginny helped me see things I couldn't see before. She made me see that blood is just a liquid running in our veins. She made me stop blaming my self for everything: For Snape's Vow, for my mother's sadness, my father's fear of Voldemort, my duties. Ginny gave me a chance, Potter. When no one else did. And I helped her. I helped her to see that you and Granger are made for each other. I made her see that she can love me with nothing in return. We gave access to each other's most hidden fears and desires. I had noticed her since fifth year, when she was with Thomas. And then she fell for you and I could see how you trusted Granger over Ginny and how she just stepped back and waited. I watched how far behind you left her. I thought it was just me, but deep down I knew I wanted things from her. She was a pureblood like I was and then –even she was thought as a blood traitor to my eyes-, she meant a lot to me. At first she was like a trophy, but when I saw her a few months back, I knew she was changed. I knew I was changed.' Malfoy said with his back still to Harry, who was just listening to Malfoy's confession.

'I don't care about her family, and I don't care about mine either, anymore. I'm tired of trying to please everyone. Now, I want to just please her and myself, and all of you people are spoiling it.' Malfoy said and this time turned and looked at Harry. 'You know how it is. You had been in my shoes. The first days with Granger, trying to hide from everyone. Even Gin's brother.' Malfoy said. 'You can understand me.' he added.

'I'm surprised you have changed so much, if you weren't like that for so long and you just pretended things. But still Malfoy, I can't be sure. I also can't change anything if Ginny wants to be with you.' Harry said and Malfoy nodded. 'But, if you dare to hurt her, I swear, Ron and I will give you pure hell to remember. Ginny wasn't the one for me but remains Ron's sister and a good friend of mine.' Harry said and Malfoy nodded again. Harry nodded awkwardly for not having Malfoy arguing with this and moved for the door of the changing rooms. He wasn't sure why, but he believed in Malfoy. Right before Harry could open the door, Malfoy's voice stopped him.

'Potter,' he said and Harry turned and looked at the Slytherin. 'I hope you allow me to get close to Granger. I owe her an apology.'

Harry blinked in surprise and then nodded. 'I'm sure she'll be waiting for it. Do it when you're ready.' Harry said and left the changing room.

When Harry returned to his and Hermione's tower he headed for Hermione's bedroom, which for the last few months had been "their" bedroom. He opened the door to find Hermione laying on their bed above the blanket with her hands supporting her head beneath the pillow. Her hair was covering the pillow and the Gryffindor scarf was close to her chest. Harry didn't want to wake her. He moved close and took off his clothes and shoes. He went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. When he returned to the bedroom, Harry sat close to Hermione. He looked at her face and noticed the black circles under her eyes were now more pronounced. He sighed and started caressing her arm. She had promised not to tire herself but Harry knew that Hermione was studying too much, even when they were fixing up Grimmauld Place. He knew she wanted to be perfect but the long hours as head Girl, the renovation of the house and the stress Hermione always had the last months of each term made Harry greatly concerned. He trusted Hermione and knew she wouldn't harm herself but that didn't stop him believing that she's tiring herself.

Hermione opened her eyes and smiled at him. 'How was it? What did he tell you?' Hermione asked but Harry placed a finger on her lips to shush her.

'Turn on your stomach.' Harry said and Hermione obeyed. Harry straddled her bottom, not pressing her lower back and raised her blouse. He unclasped her bra easily and started rubbing her back, massaging all the right places which probably ached after hours on chairs in the library. Hermione took deep breaths and moaned in pleasure and slight pain. Harry smiled and kept up with his movements.

'You're a wonderful man, Harry.' Hermione said and Harry chuckled.

You had promised not to tire your self, 'Mione. Harry said and felt Hermione took another deep breath.

'I just want both of us in the Auror training program at the end of August, that's all. It's worth the effort.' Hermione said and Harry leaned above her body and lightly kissed her ear.

'We will but please, be careful.' Harry said and Hermione turned her head as much as she could so they could look at each other.

'I will. Now tell me what Malfoy told you.' Hermione said and Harry straightened his body again so he could keep up with his massage.

'He said that he loves Ginny and that he wants nothing else than to be with her.' Harry said and Hermione listened to him.

'You think he's telling the truth?' Hermione asked and Harry sighed.

'I'm not sure, but I think so.' Harry said and Hermione nodded her head.

'I don't know why, but I think so too. I changed my mind when I saw him at Ron's party. If it was just a phase he wouldn't show up before all the Weasleys.' Hermione said and this time Harry nodded his head. 'Ron's going to be furious.' Hermione went on and Harry took a breath and nodded again to himself.

'I know, but he can't do anything. If Ginny wants to be with Malfoy then Ron, like all of us, will just have to accept it.' Harry said and stopped rubbing Hermione's back. She moaned in protest but Harry clasped her bra, lowered her blouse and leaned above her again. He started nipping and licking, kissing and playing with Hermione's earlobe and the sensitive skin behind her ear, making her shiver and moan.

'McGonagall sent an owl. We have to inform—oh Harry—everyone about the Victory Ball which will take place here.' Hermione said and Harry froze and rolled onto his side beside Hermione.

'What? Another ball?' Harry asked and Hermione sighed and tried to relax after his ministrations.

'Yes, the ministry pushed that so the community can feel back on track a year after the end of the second war. You, Ron and I are the centre of it. The rest who fought will be as well but Ministry chose us to be the honored guests.' Hermione said and Harry felt his blood boiling.

'When will it be?' Harry asked.

'On May second, at the anniversary. The morning we'll have a memory ritual and the Ball will take place that evening.' Hermione said and Harry groaned. On the second of May, he had beaten Lord Voldemort, that day Harry had lost so many friends and had seen his parents.

'A year has gone by. A peaceful year.' Harry said and Hermione smiled and touched his face with her hand.

'As peaceful as it could be.' Hermione said and Harry smiled and reached for her lips. He kissed her tenderly and then moved a few inches away.

'I'm happy that I spent this year with you.' Harry said and Hermione smiled and kissed his lips.

'I'm happy we'll have more years to come.' Hermione said and Harry grinned.

'Would you like to come to the Ball with me?' Harry asked, sure of himself. Hermione smirked and touched his jaw with her index finger.

'Do I have a choice?' she asked and Harry grinned, turned his head a bit and nibbled lightly on her finger.

'Of course you don't.' Harry said and Hermione smiled and pushed him on his back, she moved on top of him and took his hands and placed them above his head.

'Then I'm more than glad to have you taking me to the ball.' Hermione said and leaned so she could kiss Harry. The kiss went on and Hermione eventually let go of Harry's hands so he could caress her body. They started kissing and playing with each other. Using the knowledge of each other's bodies to entertain themselves. Harry turned around and trapped Hermione against the mattress. He kept on kissing and caressing her body. He hoped he could spend the second of May in peace but that was now out of the question, at least he'd have Hermione by his side and that gave him great comfort.

When Harry broke the kiss he smiled at Hermione; The bushy haired girl he had met years ago on Hogwarts Express. The first person who gave him a kiss and a hug. The first person who talked to him about love when they were only eleven. The woman who fought by his side for all these years. His best friend and girlfriend. His future.

'I love you.' Harry said and Hermione smiled and raised her head so she could peck his lips.

'I love you too, Harry.' Hermione said. 'Don't ever forget that.' Harry smiled and nodded, knowing she was the only one would never lie to him.
