Chapter Five – Denial

‘Oh Harry… yes, don’t you stop,’ Hermione moaned in a broken voice as she held on to the desk for the ride, her fingers in pain from the grasp as Harry kept thrusting inside her, her back on the desktop while he stood between her legs, his hands holding her waist while her own legs remained wrapped around his own waist. He bowed above her, his hands now moving to her breasts and neck as his lips whispered in her ear.

‘I have an idea.’ He whispered as he untangled her legs from him, he pulled out and Hermione was still in a haze as he pulled her up and off the desk only to turn her around and bend her over it, she could only groan as this meant they would get rougher with each other.

He opened her legs a bit and entered her again, having her crying out this time in sharp pleasure as from this angle – that they were trying for the first time- his penetrations were greater and she could feel a small tingle of pain along every shuddering wave of pleasure in his thrusts.

‘Oh God…’ she whaled and moaned harder as he moved his own body above hers once again.

‘I’m not hurting you…’ he rasped and even if it wasn’t a question, she knew he was asking of confirmation that she gave with a nod and another moan of pleasure, he tugged at her hair and kissed her neck and lips as she turned her head enough for them to share a hot kiss, their bodies meeting with every thrust.

His hand moved beneath her and she was soon crying out again as he started playing with her clit mercilessly. In reflex she tried to move her body but he held her down and kept his thrusts until she could only scream out her orgasm, having him following shortly after with his final thrust pushing them both on the desktop exhausted, his face lost in her covered by her hair, back.

For the past five days, after their “encounter” as they liked to tag it for better use of words they didn’t dare even to think of, they were almost animalistic with each other, as if their raw coupling would erase that night of intense yet totally amazing lovemaking… they met and did it everywhere… the library, the corridors during Hermione’s patrols, the bathroom, their bedrooms, the common room and even once in Hermione’s classroom, right after her lesson with the fifth years of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw…

‘That was glorious,’ Harry whispered as he inhaled in the mix of sweat and her shampoo, pretty much the same smell he remembered from that night in her apartment, he shoved the memory out of his mind immediately.

‘That it was,’ Hermione murmured as she trembled in aftershocks from Harry pulling out of her body. He helped her on her unsteady feet and they rearranged their clothing as they hadn’t even bothered to take most of it off. They left the desk after Hermione cast a quick cleaning charm on it and they collapsed on the sofa, not talking for awhile.

‘I will have to go to the mission the day after tomorrow,’ Harry finally stated and Hermione gave a small sigh and nodded, one other reason for their frantic encounters for the past days was Harry’s mission for Yaxley. They hadn’t really talked about it, only agreeing on Harry being careful and returning soon, they couldn’t bear talk more about it as encountering a Death Eater was never an easy task and they both knew that.

‘I know…’ Hermione only whispered after another moment. She then stood up and made sure her robes were alright. ‘I’m going to take Morgana from Hagrid’s, see you at lunch in ten?’ she asked and Harry sighed and nodded, for the past days, they either fucked or exchanged a couple of words, not sure what to say after what they felt that night, they both felt that night and before the mission Harry had to lead of.

‘Ok… see you there,’ Harry finally gave up on small talk and Hermione nodded and moved to the door, as she was passing by the couch, her hand touched his head, caressing lightly his hair, having his eyes closing at her touch, in a gesture he remembered so well ever since the Horcrux Hunt…

He was soon left alone in the small common room and he sighed as he glanced at Hermione’s desk, it had been one of their favorite places to do it nowadays, it gave them a sense of only fucking each other, using each other, the couch or theirs beds too comfortable and too familiar with the feel of her own couch back in her apartment…

Bloody Hell… Harry swore internally and sighed again, why all this had to be so confusing? It had been a rough fuck there too, after the visit at the graveyard, why should it matter if he had felt freer than ever before? Why should it matter that he and Hermione had felt as one body, heart, mind and soul while she helped him vent all his pain like no other could do?

You know why… and lets not deny it, Potter, she might know as well…

‘No, we’re just confused, that is all, we’ve been single for a long time and suddenly feel good with each other, which was the point since we’re best friends!’ Harry argued back aloud with his head’s voice that was similar to Hermione’s, if he could still push away and deny his feelings, he would do it and so far he had the strength to keep up like that.

You’ve been comfortable with her before… even when you were all alone in the middle of nowhere… but this is different, this is deeper… but I won’t mess with your denial… you want to kiss goodbye this chance too? Fine! Whatever!

Harry was ready to answer that but a tapping sound on the window took his attention and his eyes slightly widen when he saw no other owl but Pig chirping outside the window.

Harry stood up and opened the window for the grown by now owl to move inside, grown but never less hyper as the bird kept on chirping and biting lightly on Harry’s finger in excitement.

‘Hey you, buddy…’ he said and took the parchment from the bird’s leg. He opened it and immediately recognized Ron’s handwriting.

Dear Harry and Hermione

Long time no see for best friends… so sorry to be away for so long but the obligations with the team are crazy, I have even lost weight with all this game programs and stuff. I will be back from my practicing trip tonight.

I know you’re both at Hogwarts so I’ll be there tomorrow morning for breakfast, I’m sure McGonagall can do with a guest more, right? How’s everything? Rumor has it you have Morgana with you, I read it on the Prophet the other day and Gin and Mum confirmed it through owls, they probably read the Prophet too. How are you doing with the little one? Learnt who’s the father? I’m dying to know if you have learnt about him.

I have a lot to tell you about the team, I was contacted by Mr. Jameson, the National Team’s supervisor and there is a big chance I’ll play for England next summer in the Quidditch Cup… now how cool is that?

I must hurry and pack up my things, but we’ll say all about my and your news tomorrow.

Yours

Ron

p.s. keep Pig there, I’ll come and pick him up tomorrow.

Harry sighed and folded the parchment as he caressed Pig’s head. Great, now he and Hermione had to face and hide everything from Ron as well… that would be a challenge, especially when Harry wanted to be just with Hermione right before his mission, now he would have to say goodbye to both his best friends.

And lets not talk about the guilt you’re feeling because of what you and Hermione hide from Ron… as if he won’t understand…

‘Will you ever shut up? You’re in my head… you should team up with me!’ Harry called out and huffed as he should stop talking to his head like a madman.

Pathetic…

He found Hermione and Morgana on the table, Hermione serving the little girl with potatoes and chicken and Morgana soon waved at Harry enthusiastically from her chair. He approached, brushed his hand on Hermione’s back and kissed Morgana on the forehead as he sat by Hermione’s side, having the brunette in the middle.

‘How’s the morning with Hagrid?’ Harry asked the little girl and she beamed at him.

‘AWEEEsome! He taught me how to feed a Hinkypunk without being lured by it!’ Morgana said happily and Harry gave an impressed face and smiled.

‘That’s my girl!’ he said and Morgana nodded proudly as Hermione smiled and patted Morgana’s hand before she could advice her to start eating before her food would get cold.

‘Ron’s visiting tomorrow, Pig arrived the moment you left the tower,’ Harry said and Hermione looked at him surprised and then sighed and nodded.

‘He’s alright?’ she asked and Harry could see they were sharing the same lack of excitement; he nodded as he loaded his own plate with food.

‘He’s just fine, he said he even lost some weight because of the hectic life of his…’ Harry said and Hermione snorted.

‘Oh I doubt that…’ Hermione commented and the two shared a chuckle before they could turn serious again.

‘You think we should…?’

‘No, especially him, the last thing I need is to have him ranting about our friendship and him being the third party in this again when we have our own issues to solve,’ Hermione interrupted and for a moment they held gazes as she had just vocalized part of the problem. He only nodded his head and tucked in his food.

‘You’re right, I’m just worried he’ll found out on his own.’ Harry commented after a few moments and Hermione helped her own food with a gulp of pumpkin juice before she could speak.

‘Harry, Ron and the two of us are not like we used to be… We have been distanced we like to admit it or not… if we’re careful he won’t have a clue.’ Hermione said and Harry sighed but nodded his head, indeed Ron wouldn’t take the news well and there was a command about keeping them from revealing anything.

‘You’re right, again,’ Harry only said and felt her hand touching his. He looked up at her eyes and for a moment, all troubles and discomfort were gone, they were in this together…

‘I was thinking of returning to my flat after every lesson while you’re away, so you can apparate there immediately after your return from the mission, plus, I missed my house and Morgana could do with some muggle clothes for the winter so I think we’ll spend the next days in London, only coming here for the lessons.’ Hermione said after a moment and Harry nodded his head.

‘Sounds good, you want us to move after Ron leaves tomorrow and before I can go too?’ Harry asked, not so surprised that she would want him to go to her right after his mission, he didn’t mind of course.

‘Yes, I won’t take a lot of things, since I’ll be here in the mornings, just Morgana’s sleeping accessories as her bunny and some clothes, and some clothes of mine.’ Hermione said and Harry nodded again. ‘We can all return in Hogwarts after your return, I’m sure I’ll be done with my own errands before you’re done with Yaxley.’ Hermione added and Harry smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on the never ending stares of Cormac from across the table, having Hermione less hours under Cormac’s siege was another bonus of Hermione returning at her flat.

‘Great then, that’s what will do.’ Harry finally said and Hermione smiled, having noticed his glace or actually the glare at McLaggen…

‘UNCLE RON!!!’ Morgana literally screamed the next morning, when she saw Ron in the Entrance Hall as she, Harry and Hermione were moving to the Great Hall for breakfast, the previous day having passed quickly like the others after the encounter at Hermione’s flat.

‘MORGANA!’ Ron screamed out as excitedly, making the girl giggle as she fell in his opened arms for a hug while Harry and Hermione moved closer with smiles on their faces. A lot of students stopped by, searching in their bags for pens and parchments for autographs, obviously there was the “Weasley fanclub” as well but this one contained boys too as Ron was a Quidditch player. ‘Later guys, please, let me see my friends first,’ Ron said with a smile to the kids who nodded, a bit disappointed and moved inside the Hall.

Harry hugged Ron first in a manly hug, no matter the distance the trio had now, they were still good friends and Harry had to admit, he had missed his best mate. Ron was still holding Morgana as Hermione hugged Ron too and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

‘How are you guys? But lets talk over breakfast, I’m famished.’ Ron said and Harry and Hermione chuckled but nodded as the trio and Morgana –that now was transferred in Harry’s hug- moved inside the hall and took their seats, after Ron greeted McGonagall and Hagrid, and of course after he glared daggers at McLaggen who didn’t seem to happy to see the man who had stolen his place in the Gryffindor Quidditch team and now was a national player.

‘So… what’s up with you? I haven’t seen you in months…’ Ron said as they served themselves with eggs and bacon and Ron started eating, ready to listen to his friends. Hermione rolled her eyes at the amounts of food he consumed but let Harry speak.

‘Nothing much, we’re having Morgana here and Hermione’s teaching the kids while I have seminars for the seventh years, how are you? You’re the hot Quidditch player, you have the social life…’ Harry said and Ron chuckled with his full mouth, gulped down the food after Hermione’s glare and finally spoke.

‘Well, I will play for England, it’s confirmed last night and George is finally proud of me…’ Ron started and Hermione patted his back as both Harry and Hermione knew what that meant for Ron.

‘Congratulations mate, that means the cup will finally return to England,’ Harry said and Ron beamed at his friend for the praise.

‘Other than that, I’m hanging out with the team a lot, you know strict program and all, the coach screams about my food consumption and I enjoy the fangirls.’ Ron added and Hermione chuckled and slapped his shoulder as Morgana was listening to them carefully.

‘What do you mean by enjoying them?’ Morgana asked and Hermione glared at Ron as the trio felt immediately uncomfortable before the explanation they had to give now…

‘He means that he loves signing autographs for them, ‘Ana.’ Harry tried to rescue them all and the girl seemed satisfied with the answer. Ron gave a sheepish grin before he could stuff his mouth with food again.

‘Waht abot u tu’ he asked with his mouth full again, ‘Anyohne in the horzon?’ he asked and both Hermione and Harry mastered the best smiles they could give.

‘Nope, still single,’ Harry said casually, avoiding Hermione’s eyes as she answered in a similar fashion. Ron looked at Hermione as he gulped down his food.

‘Not even the idiot across the table?’ he asked and Hermione knew who he meant.

‘Not in a million years,’ she answered and Ron seemed relieved.

‘Good, I will never grow to like him,’ he said as he glared at McLaggen who was glaring back at him, Ron raised his cup of pumpkin juice at him.

‘To the English Quidditch team!’ he cheered at McLaggen hitting him where it hurt the most and Hermione and Harry did their best not to laugh as Morgana joined in the cheering excitedly.

‘And you’ll never grow to maturity either, apparently…’ Hermione commented lightly and the trio laughed.

Soon, Hermione had to go and start the day of classes so she left Morgana to the men and left. The new little trio went at Hagrid’s for tea and then under a tree close to the Hogwarts lake even if the weather was a bit crisp. Not many students were around as most of them were in classes so the men and Morgana were left in peace to enjoy the sunny day.

‘Can we play skipping stones?’ Morgana asked and Harry and Ron smiled as they moved close to the edge of the lake.

‘But not for long if we don’t want the squib to attack…’ Ron said and Morgana nodded her little head seriously.

They started with the stones, first teaching Morgana how to do it and then competing with each other, surprisingly Morgana totally owned them both and soon they were done with the game and an excited Morgana singing victorious around them.

‘Wow… she’s good at this,’ Ron said as she moved a bit away to pick some winter flowers that were still blossomed.

‘She’s great in many things,’ Harry admitted and Ron grinned.

‘We learnt about her dad?’ Ron asked and Harry shook his head as he watched Hermione’s Goddaughter.

‘As long as he’s not you or someone I know so I can kick his ass for not showing up, I don’t care,’ Harry said and Ron shrugged casually.

‘Luna and I might had a small fling back after the war but we didn’t get to that point, if I had a child with anyone, be sure my mother would have figured it out first,’ Ron said and the two men laughed but then sobered up as Ron spoke again. ‘How’s Hermione holding up? Should I believe her that McLaggen is not annoying her?’ Ron asked and Harry nodded his head after a moment.

‘He tried once or twice and I was there to make sure nothing happens, she pushed him away on her own and rather successfully may I add…’ Harry said and Ron nodded his head with a smile.

‘I might not be her boyfriend anymore but I want to know she’s alright, no bloke is good enough for her,’ Ron commented and Harry sighed and examined a small rock between him and Ron, for a moment, he thought of talking about what was going on but he had agreed with Hermione not to and she wouldn’t forgive him if he didn’t follow their deal.

‘No worries, I’m here for her,’ he finally said and Ron and nodded with a smile and a pat of Harry’s shoulder before he could sober again and look at him seriously. ‘What?’ Harry asked as he could see his friend wanted to say something more.

‘I’m not here only to see how you two are…’ Ron said and Harry frowned, not sure if he’d like what he was about to hear.

‘So… why you’re here?’ Harry asked after a moment of Ron’s silence and the ginger sighed and spoke.

‘OK, look, I returned last night at the Burrow for dinner I had promised to be there, and I saw Gin, and she has broke up with Dean and George told me that she has been talking about you again, wondering how are you and stuff like that. She didn’t mention a word to me and of course I didn’t say a word about coming here today either but… she seems like thinking of approaching you again… and mum seems supportive of this too…’ Ron said in a breath and Harry sat up on the grass with a huge exhale.

‘Ron… look, I know she’s your sister and –‘

‘I know, I know,’ Ron said before Harry could start. ‘I know and I don’t agree with it, even if you hadn’t broken up because of her cheating with Dean, I wouldn’t approve again. She’s not doing you any good and you’re not doing her any good either, sometimes you fought worse even than me and Hermione… I know, I just wanted to inform you about her intentions so she won’t show up out of the blue and start with her obsessions again when you don’t know.

‘ Don’t tell me a thing about her and mom and their plans of a huge Weasley family… I know of them and I don’t like them. Ever since I’m gone from the Burrow and have my own place, my own job and life away from everyone – and don’t take that wrong because everyone includes you and Hermione- I have found myself and I like me. And I know you and Hermione are better than ever as well in your lives, doing what you like and stuff so I just wanted to tell you what’s up with Gin so you can be prepared…’ Ron said in a huge breath and Harry was left to look at him almost in awe.

‘Wow…’ Harry could only say and Ron chuckled and took a breath.

‘I know…’ Ron said again with a shy chuckle, ‘training and seeing the world out of the lens of the Weasley family helps a lot, that’s why Charlie never comes to England, that’s why George is with Angelica and in the Burrow only in celebrations, that’s why Bill and Fleur immediately moved to the Shell Cottage after their wedding…leaving only Percy and Ginny there to be told mostly by mum what is right and what is wrong…’ Ron said and Harry sighed and nodded his head. The Weasleys had been something like family to him for his first teen years but as he grew up older and wiser he had seen the flaws in them like in every family and he had to admit, the most likable Weasley children were the ones away from Molly’s intense guiding…

‘Thanks for the heads-up,’ Harry finally said and Ron smiled and nodded his head as the ring for lunch was heard around the grounds.

‘Ron, I have to tell you something as well,’ Harry said before he could wave for Morgana to get ready to return inside. Ron waited for his friend to speak. ‘I’m off against Yaxley, tomorrow, hopefully it will last a few days, it’s serious, he’s suspected of the murder of two muggle-borns and the torture of three more… I haven’t spoken to Hermione for details as the ministry needs to keep this quiet but I wanted you to know… you know Yaxley… in case something goes wrong-‘ Harry had started but Ron raised his hand.

‘Shut up, Harry, nothing’s going to-‘

‘In case something goes wrong, I need you to keep better contact with Hermione… can you do it for me without being a prick?’ Harry interrupted the interruption and Ron was left to look at his friend exasperated but nodded his head.

‘Ok, I promise, but make sure you bring your ass back and with Yaxley’s ass kicked, that bastard has done so much harm,’ Ron said and Harry could still remember the night in the Astronomy Tower, the burning Burrow before that, Ron’s pale face after he splinched himself because of Yaxley’s hold on Hermione during their escape from the ministry and they would need hours to count his victims from the laws he passed during his ruling of the Law Enforcement Department.

‘Thank you, and I will,’ Harry said and Ron smiled and patted his friend’s back.

‘Come on, lets go, I should sign those autographs, kiss Hermione goodbye take Pig and go, the coach will have my head if I’m not in the field at five o’clock.’ Ron said and Harry chuckled and nodded

The two men stood up and Morgana approached them with flowers in her hands, she separated the little bunch she had gathered in three parts, giving the men each and keeping one “for Hermione”.

‘You’re sure you took everything?’ Harry asked as he held the basket with Crookshanks and Hermione smiled and nodded with Morgana by her hand, Ron had been gone for hours and she didn’t have classes in the evenings of Fridays.

‘Even if I have forgotten something I’ll floo and take it, but I think everything’s ok,’ Hermione said and Harry nodded his head with his turn and smiled as she flooed to her apartment first with Harry following.

Morgana was moving to her room while Hermione was opening the windows of her flat for true fresh air to get inside and mix with the refreshing spells that were still on. For a moment Harry’s eyes fell on the couch they had been almost a week ago and he sighed as he freed Crookshanks and looked at Hermione.

‘You want to stay for dinner?’ she asked, almost shyly but Harry sighed.

‘I would love to, but I must go to my flat, it hasn’t seen me for weeks, I must pack my things, take some protective potions that need the night to activate themselves and they need an empty stomach, I’ll go straight to bed after that since I’ll have to be up at 4 a.m. my team leaves at 5 a.m. from the ministry…’ Harry said and Hermione nodded her head and sighed.

‘Will I be able to contact you?’ she asked and this time Harry could hear the fear coloring her voice, he approached her as she stood by the couch they had occupied those days ago, and took her in his arms.

‘I think not, but I’ll do my best to contact you in some way. You know Yaxley, he’s cunning and I don’t want to give out my team. But I promise I’ll try,’ Harry said and Hermione nodded in his arms as she hugged him tightly, her arms on his shoulders.

‘If it’s for your safety sod the contacting, just be safe, please,’ Hermione said and Harry smiled as she rarely swore, he nodded his head and kissed the crown of her own head. He hadn’t told her about Ginny and he wasn’t sure he wanted to bring it up now, after all it was just Ginny’s obsessions again and right now he didn’t want to burden her with more things on her shoulder.

‘When I’m back, in about a week or something, we’ll make preparations for Christmas, we’re still in the start of November but I want the best Christmas tree for your flat and Morgana deserves a thousand gifts for being such a good girl without Luna, and you deserve as many gifts for being such a great…friend.’ Harry said and hesitated at the last word, she was a great person, a great friend and a great…wife-figure.

‘When you’re back, we’ll make sure you’re intact,’ Hermione said seriously, not buying his try to make her feel better, this time he chuckled.

‘Jeez… thanks Hermione, that’s encouraging before I’m off to fight one of Voldemort’s faithful Death Eaters who made to kidnap Olivander and destroy the Millennium bridge among other “achievements”…’ Harry said and Hermione shivered as she could still remember Yaxley’s hold onto her arm when they escaped the ministry back at the war. She sighed and did her best to hold her tears but failed, having Harry taking them away with his tubs.

‘I don’t mean to be so emotional about it… damn it, I just had gotten used to have you here, safe and I know you can do it, of course you can, you faced Voldemort several times… but –‘

‘I know…I don’t want to encounter any of those bastards either, Hermione, but I have promised to be done with all of them once and for all and we both know some of them are still out there…If I capture him now, he won’t walk away from trial yet again, I’ll make sure of it.’ Harry interrupted her words and she sighed and nodded, taking another breath to gather herself.

‘You’re right, and you should go, I’m sure you’ll do great. It just worries me that I won’t be there,’ Hermione said and Harry this time grinned, in another attempt to make her smile.

‘I won’t have anyone gripping at your arm or other part of your anatomy again for any reason, only I am allowed to grip your arms, open them and move between them while you wrap your legs around me…’ Harry said and this time Hermione chuckled with watery eyes and slapped his chest playfully as she glanced at Morgana’s room to make sure the child hadn’t heard them.

‘Pervert,’ she murmured and they laughed before they could sober up again and smile at each other. ‘Be careful,’ she added and Harry smiled.

‘Always am,’ he replied and was ready to move away from her arms but first, he stole a kiss from her sweet lips, silently promising to return for more in a few days’ time…
