The Charms O.W.L. went well, as I hoped it would, but I fear it’s a case of too little too late. I’m sure I got a two because basic and intermediate were fairly easy. I stayed and tried for advanced credit, but that involved dueling with the Professor. My time was much better than that of Amanda or Alex, but I was disarmed so I doubt that I’ll get a three.

Thursday, June 17, 2004

I knew before I took my Transfiguration test today that I had blown any chance of getting a total of thirteen, but I was determined to do my best for Hermione. The basic test was changing inanimate objects into animate ones and visa versa. I guess I tried a little too hard because after I had done my tenth Transfiguration Hermione said, ‘That will be quite enough Miss Zacherley; you have obviously mastered this ability.’

The intermediate test was to take one object and continue to change it from form to form as many times as you could until you started to lose control. Most of the class could only do it two or three times. Alex managed five and Amanda six. Hermione seemed surprised and quite impressed when I reached eight.

I was the only one who returned after lunch because I was the only student attempting an Animagus transfiguration. I’d done it many times in front of her before, but this was formal, for the records and to qualify for advanced Transfiguration. Hermione used a stopwatch to time me as I changed over and over again until I actually collapsed. I know I got my three because she gave me a hug and said, ‘I’m extremely proud of you sister.’

Friday, January 18, 2004

I’m done. The tests are finished. I blew it big time and let Harry and Hermione down. It won’t be official till next Friday when the grades are owled to us, but I know I didn’t make it. I actually thought about not even taking the exam for potions. Why should I bother? I could no longer get a thirteen and I doubted anyway that Potion Master Malfoy would give any Gryffindors passing scores, even basic.

I just couldn’t be a quitter so I went and did my best brewing potions, writing essays and taking a sundry of tests about potion ingredients, antidotes and the lot. Actually I think I did rather well, not that it matters.

Saturday, June 19, 2004

Weekends had become family togetherness time for the extended Potter Clan. Jamie and Caitlin slept in the dorms Sunday through Thursday night, but unless something out of the ordinary was taking place, they slept in the quarters Friday and Saturday night.

Today’s routine had been the same as most other Saturday’s. They all got up early to run, showered and then had breakfast in the Great Hall. Today, Harry had promised to give Emily some flying lessons and Caitlin decided to tag along. Jamie had begged off, she liked it when she and Hermione could spend some time alone just talking over a cup of tea.

‘Will you get to see the results of the O.W.L. s before they are given to the students?’ Jamie inquired of Hermione.

‘No. None of the professors including the headmaster sees the results until you receive them. We all give the scores to the elf in charge of student statistics. She compiles the scores and prepares the letters that you receive next Friday at breakfast. At the same time she makes a master sheet with all the students’ scores listed. The Headmaster, the School Board of Directors and all the professors receive a copy of this at the same time you get your letters. How do you think you did?’

Jamie looked at Hermione as she struggled to hold back tears. She idolized this woman so much that the thought of disappointing her caused Jamie anguish. ‘ I feel it was a mixed Som Some tests I felt good about and others I felt I completely blew.’ It took all Jamie’s resolve to force the next words out of her mouth. ‘Hermione, I’ve let you down. I studied, I tried my best, but there is no way I scored thirteen. I’m so sorry I disappointed you.’

Hermione reached over and took Jamie’s hand in hers. ‘You haven’t disappointed me and I doubt you ever will. You’ve constantly been at the top of many of your subjects and I watched how hard you studied over the last few months. I know you tried your best. Thirteen is difficult to achieve in the O.W.L.s. But don’t write yourself off just yet. I can tell you that you got a full three from me and that Harry gave you a two. That’s a total of five in two subjects. You only need eight more.’

Jamie thought to herself that it might as well be one hundred eight.

Jamie felt the need to change the subject before she started to cry. ‘Hermione, something very strange happened in Care of Magical Creatures after our test last week. I’ve wanted to talk to you about it, but honestly I’m a little embarrassed.’

‘Well now, that is certainly a first. I didn’t think anything embarrassed Jamie Zacherley. What happened?’

By the time Jamie had finished the story, Hermione had a look of horror on her face. ‘Thank god Charlie distracted the unicorn so that you could escape. He might have killed you; he certainly would have hurt you severely. I’ve read of such things, but it’s so rare I never even thought to mention it to you.’ Hermione started crying. ‘If something had happened to you, I would have never forgiven myself.’

Jamie had a total look of bewilderment on her face. ‘I don’t think he would have attacked me. He acted more like he liked me and was trying to protect me.’

‘He did like you. That’s the problem. The unicorn was protecting you. He had chosen you as his mate.’

Suddenly Jamie’s had a look of extreme revulsion on her face. ‘Mate with me! You mean that animal wanted to’.’ She couldn’t bring she self to say it. ‘That’s sick. I’ve read stories about some people doing disgusting things with animals, but the unicorn? Why would a unicorn want to’? Ugh!’ Jamie suddenly felt sick in the stomach.

Hermione patted Jamie’s hand trying to calm her. ‘He didn’t see you as a young girl. He sensed you as your Animagus form. Jamie, I discussed your transfiguration test with Harry and I’ve sent an owl to my old professor. Your time of transfiguration and the amount of times you could do it were incredible.’

‘Do you remember how I told you the animal chooses you rather you choosing the animal?’ Jamie nodded her head. ‘In your case, I think you already had many qualities held by unicorns and because of this when you bonded those qualities became significantly magnified and you gained others.’

‘Are you trying to say that I’m part unicorn? I’m not going to get a horn on my forehead and grow long white hair, am I?’ Part of Jamie was being facetious, but part of her was concerned.

‘No, not likely.’ Hermione responded. ‘I’m talking more about intuitive skills such as judging virtuousness and knowing whether to trust people.’

Suddenly Jamie had a horrible thought. ‘What if suddenly I don’t allow boys to get near me?’

Hermione laughed. ‘Then I think you and Alex will both be extremely miserable. I doubt that will become a problem. However, since you brought up the subject of men getting near you. I’d like to talk to you about Harry. Are you aware that he is afraid to touch you?’

Jamie nodded her head disconsolately. ‘I imagine it’s all my fault. He doesn’t seem able to get beyond seeing me as that vixen that offered her body to him. Hermione, if I were given the opportunity to undo just one thing that I did in my life; it would be that night. I worship the relationship you and I have now as sisters. I’d give anything to have Harry treat me like a sister.’

‘There are times that I’m so envious of Caitlin and Emily. When he gets into those wild tickling and wrestling matches with them, I’d love to join the fray. I don’t because I know he’d stop and I don’t want to ruin their fun.’

Hermione looked at Jamie sympathetically. She had no idea this was troubling Jamie as much as or even more than it bothered Harry. ‘I’m sure what happened Halloween could be part of the problem, but I think your body is a bigger part of the problem.’

‘My body?’ Jamie looked at Hermione puzzled.

‘Jamie we both know and love Harry. Harry doesn’t have a perverted bone in his body, but he also likes to win. I’m sure that you’ve seen that when he and the girls wrestle sometimes hands momentarily touch or grab at places. He’s fighting two of them off at once. It’s never done on purpose and the girls seem to think nothing of it. I don’t think Harry does either because-let’s say they don’t have much in the way of accessories yet.’

‘Jamie, that’s not the case with you, I believe Harry would be extremely up tight about possibly grabbing your butt or touching a breast or worse.’

‘Hermione, I’ve been a nudist my entire life. When you don’t wear clothes, body parts come in contact with other people much more often. My favorite party game is Twister. Playing that game it’s impossible not to have some body contact. When we go swimming I love to be thrown around in the water and throw others around, too. You can’t pickup or be picked up by a person without some body contact. There is an unmistakable difference between an accidental touch and a purposeful grope. When you’re playing hard and having fun accidents happen. Plus, I just don’t find it’s that big a deal to be touched. To me body parts are just that, body parts. I don’t think my butt cheek or breast is any more special than my arm or leg. If I trust a person to touch one part of me, I am not going to have a fit if they touch another part, especially when it’s accidental. But how would you feel about that? Would you be upset if it was a part of our fooling around? How would you feel about Harry holding me and tickling me when I’m naked?

‘Jamie, I love you and I trust you. I would trust my life in either your or Harry’s hands.’ Hermione smiled as she thought back ‘In fact I have. Jamie, you’ve always felt yourself a good judge of people. I’ve felt that as well about myself. I feel that you and Harry are incapable of hurting me. Now, how do we get you and Harry over this impasse?’

Jamie looked shyly at Hermione. ‘I’d like to try getting involved the next time he gets after the girls. If he backs off or tries to quit, I have an idea. It’s rather bold, and for that reason I need your help. I won’t do it unless you are one hundred percent okay with it.’

‘Suppose you tell me what your plan is and let me consider it?’

Friday, June 25, 2004

Hermione couldn’t take her eyes off the window as she spread her toast with marmalade. ‘Shouldn’t they be here by now?’ she inquired of Harry.

‘You do realize that you’re more nervous today than you were the day we received our own scores. You’re not afraid someone will beat your score are you?’

‘Of course not, Harry. Records are made to be broken. It’s just that Jamie has worked and studied so hard. I’m afraid that if she doesn’t earn that scholarship she will feel as if she let us down; that we’re disappointed in her.’

‘We’ll know in a few minutes,’ Harry said as he indicated the larger than normal group of owls fluttering in the windows, most of them school owls. Each of the fifth-year students received a large envelope with the Hogwarts seal. Some students, grabbed for their envelopes before the owls had an opportunity to land. Others waited patiently for the envelope to drop in their hands.

Few did as Jamie, and just sat motionless after receiving the envelope, staring at it as if petrified.

There was an unwritten scale used by the students to judge their results. If one received a score under five, there would most definitely be a howler from the parents.

Scores between five and ten were considered good. Anything over ten was considered excellent; fifteen was considered the optimum score at least it was until six years ago when Hermione Granger, a muggle-born witch, scored an unheard of sixteen.

Soon the Hall was in mayhem as the students were talking loudly about their results and running from table to table to talk with friends in other houses. Out of the corner of her eye Jamie saw Amanada and Alex both hugging, evidently pleased with their results. Suddenly she felt an arm around her shoulder as Caitlin said. ‘Are you afraid to open it? Would you like me to open it for you?’

Jamie simply nodded her head and handed the envelope to Caitlin, who carefully opened it. The packet consisted of a result page from each professor showing the total score number of O.W.L.s received in that class. Caitlin began leafing through the pages telling Jamie her results in each subject. As she read the scores at what seemed an excruciating slow pace a crowd of friends and house members gather around her. They all knew how important these results were to her and each and every one in their own way was praying for her.

‘Jamie you received basic, intermediate and advanced in Transfiguration.’ Caitlin flipped to the next page. ‘And you received both basic and intermediate in Defense Against the Dark Arts.’ Caitlin looked at Jamie excitedly. ‘That’s five O.W.L.s in only two subjects.’

Jamie didn’t get excited. ‘Yes, but those I was expecting. They were my two best subjects.’

Caitlin continued, as it seemed everyone was keeping a running total. ‘You received a one in Herbology, but you got both basic and intermediate in Care of Magical Creatures.’

Amanda squeezed Jamie’s arm tightly and whispered in her ear. ‘I didn’t think anyone got more than basic in Magical Creatures. I think you’re going to make it.’

Alex crossed his fingers even tighter. The total was at eight after only four subjects.

Caitlin flipped to the next page and the smile disappeared from her face. ‘You received a zero in Divination,’ she reported sadly. As she turned to the next page gloom descended upon her. ‘You also received a zero in Astronomy.’

The Gryffindors had thought Jamie on the verge of doing the impossible; beating Hermione Granger’s score, but two zeros killed any chance of that. Her total was still at eight and she was running out of subjects fast.

Caitlin turned the page and announced excitedly, ‘Jamie you received another three. You got all three levels of Charms.’

Caitlin turned to the last page and announced sadly, ‘And you received basic for History of Magic.’

Alex put his arm around Jamie and gave her a hug. ‘You did terrific. Twelve is nothing to be sad about. I think that ties for the highest this year.’

‘I know. It’s just that I feel I let Harry and Hermione down.’ She looked dejectedly at the floor, not wanting to face the staff table and Harry and Hermione.

Amanda who had been deep in thought suddenly shouted. ‘Caitlin, Potions! You didn’t read a score for potions!’

Caitlin began leafing through the packet and sure enough two pages were stuck together. As she pulled them apart, her face broke into a huge grin as she reached out and hugged Jamie. ‘I’m sorry I scared you. Potions, Basic and intermediate.’

Jamie brushed the tears of sadness from her eyes, but they were instantly replaced with tears of joy. ‘Professor Malfoy gave me a two?’ She couldn’t believe she had received both basic and intermediate Potions and that now her total was fourteen. Jamie Zacherley had just received the second highest score in the history of Hogwarts. The cheers from the Gryffindor table were deafening. Everyone was hugging Jamie and patting her on the back as she looked toward the staff table where she saw two teary eyed professors watching her, extreme pride evident on their faces.

* * * * * *

Just as they were ready to depart the Great Hall, Harry and Hermione were surprised as Ginny approached them.

‘Ginny,’ Harry said with surprise. ‘What are you doing here on a Friday?’

Ginny for the entire year had a rather cushy schedule that involved no classes on a Friday. Therefore, it was surprising to find her here today.

Ginny glanced uneasily back and forth between Harry and Hermione. ‘I wanted to be here when the students received their O.W.L.s results and learn how they ranked, but more so I wanted to talk to you two together.’

Harry looked at Hermione and immediately knew she was having the same thoughts as him. Through out most of the year Ginny had been bosom buddies with Sybil Trelawney. Why now suddenly was she seeking them out?

Hermione could tell that Ginny seemed rather nervous and stressed out. ‘Emily is off at school and by all indications Caitlin will be celebrating for some time with Jamie and her friends. e the there are no classes today, Harry and I were headed back to our quarters for morning tea. Why don’t you join us?’

Ginny accepted the offer and followed Hermione and Harry to the staff area of the castle but said little during the journey. It was evident she wanted their full attention before she disclosed whatever was on her mind.

Harry helped Hermione prepare the tea as the three discussed meaningless school matters. Finally, when all three were seated, Ginny looked at Hermione and blurted out, ‘Who do you think would make a better husband and father, Draco or Severus?’

Hermione was taken aback as the question caught her completely off guard. Hermione truthfully had not even ever considered either man in such a role in her life. ‘Ginny, it’s how you feel that matters, not I. I didn’t realize you were back with Draco and what makes you feel Severus would ever want to play such a role in your life?’

Ginny face bore the look of total frustration. ‘I’m not back with Draco, but we are on a much friendlier basis again although he does at times aggravate me beyond imagination. As for Severus, I know he’d be willing to play such a role because he asked me to marry him.’

Harry was extremely glad he didn’t have a mouth full of tea when Ginny announced this news; else someone would have been wearing it. Harry suddenly came to a realization. ‘This winter, all those weekends that Severus left Hogwarts for business. Were you the business? Have you and Severus been dating?’

Ginny’s eyes bored into Harry. ‘You think its ridiculous, don’t you? That I’m dating someone over twice my age?’

‘I didn’t say that,’ Harry said defensively. ‘I just inquired as to whether you two had been dating. But now that you mention it; he is easily old enough to be your father.’

‘Severus thought if anyone would understand it would be the two of you. I guess he was wrong.’ Ginny spouted angrily as she prepared to rise and leave, but before she could Hermione stopped her.

‘Ginny, Harry didn’t say whether he approved or not. He just stated facts. What he said is true, but Severus is also an extremely attractive and kind man as I’m sure you have found out. Please sit and tell us all the specifics. It isn’t in our place to tell you what to do, but maybe discussing it will help you reach a conclusion on your own.’

Ginny nodded her head. Although she doubted it would help, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to at least have someone she could talk with. ‘It all started last October when Severus and I both happened to be up in the Astronomy tower at the same time.’ She glanced back and forth between Harry and Hermione. ‘We both find it a wonderful place to go and be alone with our thoughts. We just talked, nothing more. That weekend I was headed to London on the train and Severus had to go to the Ministry to meet with the governors of the school. We sat together and talked again. I couldn’t get over how different Severus the man was as compared to Severus the professor.’

‘It was late when we reached London, so we decided to have dinner together. We were just two associates dining jointly. At least that’s what we kept telling ourselves. After that weekend I started to go to the Astronomy Tower in hopes of finding him there and he told me later that he was doing the same thing.’

‘By Christmas we were purposely meeting in London every weekend. I loved being with him. He made me feel so special and wanted. Something I hadn’t felt for a long time.’ Ginny looked at Hermione and confessed. ‘Up until then we had never even kissed, not real kisses, just pecks on the cheek. I kissed him first and it was my suggestion that we share a room Valentine’s weekend. I knew my brothers wouldn’t be happy, but I was. Severus and I were going to talk to you guys about us after your wedding and then it happened.’

Hermione looked at Ginny understandingly. ‘By then it happened, I would assume you mean that Draco reentered your life.’

‘Yes,’ Ginny answered. ‘Draco had been going to London practically every weekend, Neville, too. Although neither of them ever said anything, I expect they thought something was going on between Severus and me. A few times they shared a compartment with us on the train, but most times they left us to ourselves.

‘At first Severus and I joked about seeing Neville and Draco together on the train every week. We kidded that they were traveling to London to be together. In actuality Draco was involved with a witch that he had met just prior to the start of school. Her husband found them out in March and there was quite a row. Seems they have two children. Draco would never want to breakup a family and so he immediately stopped seeing her.’

Harry looked at Hermione and shook his head slightly in disgust, not enough that Ginny noticed. ‘Did you initiate getting back together with Draco or did he?’

‘Oh! It was me. I approached him in September, trying to reconcile our differences, but it took him sometime to think it out in his head.’ Ginny seemed to be defending Draco.

Harry could tell from Hermione’s expression that she had problems with this story. ‘When did Draco finally agree that it would be good if you both tried getting back together?’

‘The very beginning of April,’ Ginny quickly answered. ‘I just don’t know what to do. Severus has been so wonderful to me, but after all Draco is Draco. How can I ignore a chance to get back with him?’

Harry was about now feeling a powerful urge to strangle Ginny, but resisted.

‘Ginny?’ Hermione asked. ‘I want to make sure I have all the facts straight in my head. Am I correct in saying that Draco knows you have been seeing Severus? How about Severus? Does he know that Draco now wants you back?’

‘Yes, Severus knows,’ Ginny replied.

‘And how may I ask does he feel about that?’ Harry asked, trying to control his anger.

‘He said he loves me and that he’ll always be there for me, but it’s a decision I have to make on my own and that if I come to him it has to be without doubt in my mind or heart.’

Harry didn’t say a word, but wanted to bang his head on the table. Then he realized that it would serve more purpose if he banged Ginny’s head instead of his own.

Somehow Hermione managed to maintain a level of neutrality. ‘Ginny, this may sound all too scientific and detached, but I think before you make any decisions, you should sit down and write a list of pros and cons. You have to decide what is truly important to you in a relationship. Who you would be happiest with? What are you doing this summer?’

Ginny answered, ‘I’m visiting some college friends in the States.’

‘That’s good,' Hermione answered. ‘That means you will be away from both of them. Spend that time comparing them and deciding whom you would really be happiest with, who you love the most and who will love you the most. That’s really all that’s important.’

From there the conversation drifted off to other topics and after a brief time Ginny offered some excuse as to why she had to be leaving and after thanking them for their time she hurried out the door.

The door had no more than closed when Harry commented to Hermione, ‘I hope she chooses Draco.’

Hermione couldn’t believe her ears. ‘Why Draco?’

‘If she can’t figure out on her own that Severus is worth a hundred Dracos, she doesn’t deserve him’

‘Harry, after I take a shower, I’m going to take the girls into Hogsmeade to shop for clothing for the trip. Will you talk to them so that they don’t give me any arguments?’ Hermione asked.

‘Arguments about what Mione?’ he replied.

‘About clothes. I want them to actually dress to go to Hogsmeade and not to give me a difficult time about getting proper clothes and swimming costumes for the vacation. They are not going to Disneyland Paris and a fancy beach resort with only a charm covering them.’

‘I’ll talk to them honey. I’ll give them the old ‘when in Rome do as the Romans’ story.’

‘I don’t care what story you give them, just so they agree to dress the same as everyone else there.’ With that Hermione stepped into the shower leaving Harry alone in the room. Harry just stood there a moment and then went over to the dresser and stared at the mirror.

‘Harry Potter.’ The mirror said. ‘Do you want to see your future?’

‘No,’ Harry answered nervously. ‘Actually I’m extremely content with the present and wish it could go on forever. Its just’ could I ask you a question about the possible future you showed Hermione and I?’

‘Ah yes. You mean the future showing you and Mrs. Potter on the beach with the three girls. We now know whom the third girl is and that you are taking a vacation to a beach. What exactly is the question?’

‘Do Hermione and I actually have to be naked for all to see? We know this charm that makes others think we have clothes on and’’

The mirror interrupted. ‘Your wife asked me the identical question the other day. She hoped that since you would be actually nude and that a mirror isn’t fooled by the charm that perhaps you could use the charm to create that future. I wish that was the case, but when I show possible futures they are not reflections but what the world will actually see. For that future to be a reality, the five of you must actually be naked on that beach to anyone that passes by.’

‘Thank you mirror,’ Harry said desolately, knowing that he had lost any chance of making that future a reality.

Harry put on his happy face and walked into the living area where he found three naked girls giggling about their favorite subject, boys.

‘Girls, can I ask you to do me a favor today? I understand you are going to Hogsmeade with Hermione. The town may be crowded and Hermione and I would both feel better if you actually dressed today instead of using the charm. There is just too great a chance of you being touched.’

The girls looked at each other and then begrudgingly nodded their heads in consent. Jamie said, ‘If we do that will you please ask Hermione to not make us buy bathing costumes in the village for the trip?’

‘Why not?’ Harry asked. ‘You’re certainly going to need them at the resort.’

Jamie looked at the others knowingly. ‘Oh yes! Certainly we can’t swim nude at the resort, but the resort is on the French Rivera. The bathing costumes worn there are much different than what is sold in Hogsmeade. May we wait to get our costumes until we get there?’

‘That seems like a reasonable request. I’ll discuss it with Hermione, but I’m sure she’ll agree. Will you guys agree to one more thing concerning the trip?’

In unison they said, ‘What?’

‘Both at Disneyland and at the beach resort, I want you dressing as everyone else does. You don’t need to wear knickers, but no charms. You’ve heard the old saying, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans.’ That means you want to blend in with the other people. Do you agree?’

Caitlin and Emily both had devilish looks on their faces. ‘Do as the Romans. That’s makes sense. Does that apply to you and Mum, also?’

‘Certainly,’ Harry answered without a thought.

‘Do you know what this Roman wants to do right now?’ Emily said teasingly.

‘I have an idea,’ Harry said. ‘You know you’ll never win.’

‘Never say never,’ Emily responded as she leaped toward Harry. Caitlin immediately joined her just as Hermione, still bare from her shower and holding a towel, stepped into the room.

Jamie and Hermione both watched, laughing as the girls struggled against Harry. Caitlin and Emily were most certainly outmatched, but having a great time. Hermione could see that Jamie was aching to get into the battle and decided that today was the day of reckoning. She indicated to Jamie to join the fray. This made for a much fairer match. Actually Harry probably had more than he could handle now. He had his right arm around Caitlin and Emily was hanging onto his legs. He sensed Jamie in the attack mode on his left and without looking reached his arm out to hold her off. His hand came into direct contact with her breast.

Harry froze as he turned bright red. He looked at Hermione and then at Jamie. ‘Okay girls, that’s enough for now. Time to call it quits before someone gets hurt.’

Both Caitlin and Emily moaned and complained that they had just started. Jamie didn’t say anything. She didn’t have to; Hermione could see her struggling to hold back the tears. As Harry got to his feet Hermione walked over to him.

Hermione stood naked in front of Harry. She took a deep breath not believing what she was about to do. Not only what she was going to do, but also that she was going to do it in front of the girls. ‘Harry, do you love me? Do you trust me?’

‘You know I do. Why are you asking that now, here in front of the girls?’

‘Because I want you to allow me to do something without question and it require you having complete trust in me. Caitlin please hand me my wand. Harry, I need you to close your eyes.’

‘But why?’ Harry asked.

‘Complete trust without question.’

‘Okay.’ Harry closed his eyes.

‘Now I’m going to do a blindfold charm on you. It can be a little scary because you will be unable to open your eyes until I remove the charm, which will be in about a minute. Do you trust me?’

Harry had no idea what Hermione was up to, but he knew he trusted her with his life. ‘Yes.’

Hermione performed the simple charm. ‘Good, now please try to relax. Girls it’s extremely important that you remain absolutely quiet. Harry, I know this is going to sound extremely silly, but I want you to step forward, but your arms around me and grab my butt cheeks. One with each hand.’

‘With the girls here?’

‘Harry, please no more questioning what I ask you to do,’ Hermione asked impatiently. ‘If you trust me just do what I ask. It will all be clear in a few moments.’

Harry had no idea what Hermione was doing, but he would trust his life in her hands. However, weird this was, he decided he had to go along with it without question. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around until each hand held a cheek.

‘Now Harry, I want you to take your right hand and cover my vagina with it. Don’t fondle me in any way; just use your hand to cover it as if you were protecting it.’

Harry couldn’t believe that Hermione was asking him do this in front of the girls, but didn’t question her. He did as she asked, but avoided making actual contact.

Caitlin and Emily watched in disbelief. Neither could figure out what Hermione was up to or that they were being allowed to watch.

‘Okay Harry. One more move and we’re done. I want you to gently cup my breasts in your hands. Again, don’t fondle them in any way. Just hold them as if you were carrying them somewhere. I want you to continue to hold them as I release you from the charm. I’ll tell you when to open your eyes.’

Hermione released the charm and awaited the wrath that she knew was about to be unleashed.

‘Okay, Harry, you may open your eyes’

‘Good, now will—Oh my god Jamie!’ Harry released his grasp on Jamie’s breasts and practically jumped away. ‘Hermione what in the name of’’ Suddenly he realized where else he had touched. Harry turned white. ‘Was I touching you all the time? Why would you do that?’

‘Harry, please don’t be angry with Hermione or I. I don’t even know where to begin, but I did this for all of us. I did it for the sake of the family.

‘Breast, butts, arms, legs; even vaginas and penises are just body parts. After hundreds of years of brainwashing we have come to think of some parts as special, untouchable. And they should be untouchable if a person’s intentions are improper. Harry, I doubt sometimes that you are capable of impure thoughts. You wrestle and tickle Caitlin and Emily all the time. There isn’t a place on their bodies that at one time or another you haven’t come into contact with, but it wasn’t perverted or dirty. It was in the course of natural fun.’

‘Harry, I may have these things hanging on my chest, but I’m still a little girl at heart and want to be a part of the family fun. I’m not going to react any different when we’re horsing around if you grab my wrist or my breast because I know it’s not done in a tainted way. Hermione and I both thought this was an extreme way of demonstrating how I felt, but we agreed that just telling you it was all right wouldn’t work.’

‘Please don’t be angry with Hermione. Do you realize how much she loves and trusts both of us to allow what just happen to take place? Please forgive our method, but also please tell us that we succeeded.’

Harry couldn’t believe what he had just heard or what just transpired. Nor could he believe how completely both Jamie and Hermione trusted him.

He looked at Hermione and Jamie and smiled. ‘Okay, you asked for it. Who wants to wrestle?’

Caitlin and Emily squealed with delight. Hermione dropped her towel on the chair. ‘Only one difference this time. Three against one isn’t fair. I’m on Harry’s side.’

Emily yelled, ‘No holds barred!’

‘Right, Dad,’ agreed Caitlin. ‘No holds barred.’

Soon the floor was strewed with a mass of twisted arms and legs. Everyone was screaming and laughing. The troubles and heartaches of the past year were forgotten and the happiness of today was shared. The boy who lived had a family, a family that loved him.

As they started off the year so they ended it. Jamie, Amanda and Alex walked arm in arm toward the Great Hall and the end-of-the-year feast. They were running late and the Great Hall was already full when they entered.

The three had barely taken their seats when Headmaster Snape stood and said cheerfully, ‘And so we mark the end of another year. Quite a year it has been. I hope we have been successful in adding somewhat to your knowledge this year. Please, try to at least maintain some of that knowledge until we meet again.’

‘To the seventh years I bid a fond farewell. I hope we have taught you well so that you will succeed beyond your dreams. I also would like to bid farewell to Professor Charles Weasley. Thank you for your loyal service to Hogwarts these last six years. We all wish you health and happiness in your future endeavors.’

There was a storm of cheering as all the houses rose to their feet and gave the departing professor a standing ovation.

‘Now without further ado, I believe it is time to award the house cup. The points stand thus: In fourth place, Slytherin, with two hundred eighty-five points; in third, Ravenclaw with three hundred twenty-five. The battle for first place was extremely close this year. Gryffindor has four hundred fifty points, but with four hundred sixty-three points first place and the house cup goes to Hufflepuff.’ The headmaster clapped his hands and in an instant the Great Hall was adorned in the colors of Hufflepuff.

For a brief moment the hall was quiet, as even the Hufflepuffs couldn’t believe that they had actually won the coveted house cup. Suddenly the Hufflepuffs were on their feet screaming and shouting. Then lead by Jamie Zacherley the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and even a large number of Slytherins took to their feet and cheered the underdog house that had risen to the occasion.

Far too fast the evening ended. Wardrobes were emptied and trunks packed. It seemed to Caitlin that the year had just begun and here it was ended. But what a year it had been. She had started the year as a lonely unloved orphan and now she had a mother, a father, two sisters, a ‘boyfriend’ and more friends then she could count.

Something else had change for her and for Jamie. They wouldn’t be leaving Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express. Instead, along with Emily, they were standing on the train platform hugging and waving good-bye to their friends. Hogwarts was now their home all year round.

Amanda and Tony had already bid their farewells and taken seats as Alex, Matt and Randy lingered behind.

‘I’m going to miss you,’ Alex said as he held on to Jamie’s hand.

‘Me too,’ she responded. ‘Promise, you won’t forget me?’

Alex smiled, ‘Not a chance in the world of that happening. We have big plans.’

Jamie smiled and gave Alex a deep kiss as the train whistle blew. ‘Yes we do, we most certainly do.’

Jamie gave Alex another brief kiss as he broke free and ran to the train. Caitlin looked at Matt, hesitated a moment, and then gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Matt started for the train and then stopped and yelled to Randy. ‘Come on Randy, what are you waiting for?’

Randy just stood looking at Emily. ‘I’m glad we met this year and that you let me hold you in exercises. I’m really going to miss you. I—I was’

Emily just looked at Randy and shook her head. ‘And I suppose if I don’t kiss you, it will be my fault if you miss the train.’ With that said she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and he ran to the train.

The girls waved, and then just stood watching until the train finally disappeared out of sight. Then they turned without a word. Emily and Caitlin each grabbed one of Jamie’s hands and they headed home to Hogwarts.

The End

That concludes Hogwarts Exposed, but certainly not our story. Hopefully, many of you will join me Monday, July 28, 2003 as we begin a new year with the posting of chapter one of Hogwarts Too Exposed. If you join the Group, HogwartsExposed (no space), on Yahoo, you will be notified when the first chapter is up.

Although I originally planned to have the girls walk down the aisle with Hermione and Harry, the idea of H and H embracing Ron came from The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Lori Summers. If you are a H/Hr shipper, you must read her series.

The answers to our five questions:

1. The Great One is none other than The Minister of Magic, Emma Wrong. But why does she dislike the trio so much? And is it a good idea to bring Salazar Slytherin back to life?

2. It wasn’t easy, but Jamie managed to get a 14 on the O.W.L.s.

3. The Potter clan will first be visiting Disneyland, Paris and then spending a week at Cap d’Agde. The first chapter of Hogwarts Too Exposed will focus on Harry and Hermione feelings as they arrive at this town of 40,000 nudists.

4. Who from Hermione's past danced with her at the wedding? There certainly could be a lot of correct answers to this question sinhe dhe danced with many, many people. I think you realize that the answer I was looking for was Damien. Speaking of Damien, I would be quite interested in what you, the readers, thought of my original characters. Is Sam right for Ron, especially now that we know Timmy’s dad is Draco. What about Jamie, Caitlin and Emily? Who is your favorite? Are Alex and Jamie destined? What about Amanda and Tony? If Caitlin and Emily continue to hang around boys naked, will they make it to fifteen without having sex?

5. I just answered above that Draco is Timmy’s Dad. Is Severus too old for Ginny? Is Draco ready to settle down? Should Draco marry Sam?

Thank you to my wonderful betas that on this chapter were Amber, Atlantis, Nicole and Rebecca. I’d like to especially thank Atlantis who set up the group site and taught me how to code chapters. She hates the idea of Hermione being a nudist, so I know the last few chapters have been tough on her. Although they are no longer aboard as betas, I would also like to thank Zena and Andrew. Zena has been a supportive fan and beta and without Andrew, I would have never got past chapter one.

I’d also like to thank all of you that took the time to write reviews. Sure, I see how many people are reading, but those are nameless statistics. You taking the time to write a review is greatly appreciated.

Once again, please join me July 28th for Hogwarts Too Exposed - A Slytherin Among Us
