Author’s Note: Since JKR only mentions a handful of students in Harry’s year group and I imagine there would be at least a few more than this you will see OC’s cropping up here and there in the lessons, none of these will be massive parts in the story so don’t mind them that much J Also I’m putting the rating up just to be safe as sex is mentioned from here on out, plus it’ll get rather steamy later ;)

Chapter Seven

Hermione joined the other members of her Hogwarts year group as she did once a week every week in going to her Survival Skills lesson. Today’s lesson was held in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom which meant excitement for everyone as Professor Gilwing seemed to be a hit with all the students, young enough to be cool to male and female students alike and good looking enough to have most of the female ones paying rapt attention to every word. With the flick of his wand parchment flew in the direction of them and a sheet sat neatly in front of each student.

“Alright everyone, today’s lesson is very important; it is the first of three sessions you will be receiving on sexual education. This area has always been left up to parents before but with Hogwarts being a boarding school we have decided that it should be included in the school syllabus.” He announced. Giggling and chatting followed the announcement as was expected. “This first lesson will briefly cover everything; the next lesson will involve potions relevant to the topic and the last lesson will be a split lesson for which Madam Pomfrey will take all you lovely young ladies and answer any questions you may have and a male Healer from St Mungo’s will take all you gentlemen to likewise answer any questions.”

“Professor Gilwing can give me all the sex-ed he likes.” Whispered Lavender.

“Hey!” Ron protested.

“Oh I’m joking!” she hissed. “He’s just really fit is all.”

“And only a few years older than us.” Rhiannon Winters murmured.

“I heard he had a thing for you Hermione.” Dean whispered nudging her with his elbow.

“No, that’s just Ginny being overly romantic.” Hermione replied. The group still managed to pay some attention to the lesson so far.

“A long time ago Hogwarts actually had chastity charms placed on it to prevent any underage witch or wizard from actually having intercourse but the only way the charm activated was by a wizard started to enter a witch before it took affect cause said wizard to lose his...ability to complete the act shall we say, they realised that the students could just be creative about their means of pleasuring each other. Also it tended to result in the students that turned of age in their last year feeling like now that they could they should and student pregnancies started to crop up and so the enchantments were removed.” He explained.

Seamus waved his hand in the air and spoke up. “Does that mean that sex is allowed now?”

“Not exactly Mr Finnigan.” The Professor chuckled. “Any inappropriate behaviour in the corridors or likewise public areas is forbidden regardless of whether you are of age or not, also in the case of shared dormitories we do not allow the boys into the girls dormitories and vice versa because even when both parties are of age it is not appropriate for the other members of the dormitories. However...if students are of age and happen to be lucky enough to have a private room then there is very little that we can do about it other than to advise students to stay safe. Once a student is of age we cannot technically punish them for the act itself, we can only punish them if them do it somewhere that they can be found because if a teacher can find them so can a wandering first year so it isn’t appropriate.”

“You are so lucky that you have your own room Hermione.” Lavender pouted.

“Excuse me?” Hermione spluttered. “You guys seriously don’t think that this means I’m going at it like a rabbit in my room?”

“You mean you have your own room and aren’t even making use of it? How unfair is that?” Lavender snorted.

“Miss Brown, Miss Granger is there something you wish to share with everyone else?” Professor Gilwing asked his eyes glinting with humour; they knew that they weren’t actually in trouble.

“Just that I want my own room.” Lavender mumbled, causing most of the class and the Professor to chuckle.

“I’m sure you all do, after all you’re all of age now.” He said consolingly. “Unfortunately Hogwarts is a school not a hotel so I don’t see every student having their own room any time soon. A word of caution to all of you though, especially those of you with muggle roots – in the wizarding world sex is not treated as casually as it is in the muggle world, whilst they have moved on from the times where sexual relations were strictly for married couples it is expected that you be in an actual meaningful relationship before engaging in intercourse. Casual bedroom habits are frowned on, more so for witches than wizards I’m afraid ladies but I think that tends to be more to do with the fact that a pregnant witch with no husband is rather obvious where as the responsible wizard shows no outward sign of his actions. Whilst times are changing I must stress upon you that waiting is always a good idea and being careful is an essential one, not just for society’s sake but also for the sake of your futures and health, Yes, Miss Granger?”

“That’s actually interesting, I’ve never heard of sexually transmitted diseases in the wizarding world, but in the muggle world there are literally posters in bus stops for them and adverts on television. Is the wizarding world not affected by them or is it something just not spoken about?” she asked.

“They do exist, but the lack of casual sex is the main reason that it isn’t that common here. It does happen and there are a few forms, more than likely ones that have managed to be introduced via mixed blood couples but because going through several sexual partners is frowned upon here they don’t really get the chance to spread.” He explained.

“So you’re blaming muggles?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

“Not at all, I could just as easily blame the wizard or witch that wasn’t careful when having intercourse with them. There are of course the more questionable acts of Lord Voldemort’s supporters against muggles to consider, many muggles were sexually assaulted and I can’t see a victim being worried about informing her attackers of any possible risk to his health can you?” he countered.

“I suppose that does make sense...I hope that the assaulted women kept quiet on purpose actually.” She replied coldly.

“Alright, enough of the gloomy talk, we’ve got a couple of fun activities planned.” He grinned. “This is the one class you’ll have with me when I will allow you to use as much dirty language as you like and have fun; we’re going to play word association.”

By the end of the class a good, fun and informative time had been had by all including playing with dragonskin’s. Hermione had been surprised to learn of a wizard’s equivalent to a condom and had been quick to ask all sorts of technical questions that had the other students staring at her in disbelief for being such a kill-joy. She had however done as instructed and practised putting one on her banana like everyone else before the boys started to inflate them and charm them into floating balloons.

Gideon caught her attention as the class started to pack up and gestured for her to come talk to him so as her classmates filed out she headed over to him.

“You know the girls will be fantasizing about you for weeks now?” she smirked.

“Even you?” he asked cheekily.

“No, not me.” She replied flushing, “But I wouldn’t take that personally I don’t generally fantasize about anyone.” She thought back to the beginning of the year when she had had a couple of dirty dreams about none other than Professor Snape, at least it had only been for a couple of nights and had then gone away.

“Come to dinner with me?” he asked seriously. Hermione’s heart started to race, she wasn’t prepared for that...they were friends weren’t they? She thought back to three months ago when he had given her a rose for Valentine’s Day...had he hoped for more since then?

“You’re just asking me because I have my own room.” She replied, brushing the whole thing off with humour.

“Hermione...” he started.

“I know, I know. I’m sorry; you just took me by surprise is all.” She sighed. “Can I think about it? It’s just...you’re my closest friend on the staff and I really don’t want to ruin that. It’s not you honestly; I’m just not sure it’s a good idea.”

“Alright, think about it.” He replied, reaching to take her hand. “But please do actually think about it because I think it’d be worth a try.”

“I promise to think about it.” She agreed, making her exit. She spotted Ginny with Harry, Ron and Lavender just down the hallway waiting for her, she knew the Ginny had a free period now and that the boys had probably already told her that she stayed in the classroom after everyone else and really didn’t want to face her until she’d had a chance to think for herself. Casting a quick disillusionment charm she made a dash towards the dungeons.

“I know you’re there.” She heard Professor Snape’s voice just as she reached the entrance for her rooms. “Show yourselves, immediately.”

“Morning Professor.” She said, released the charm.

“Hiding from someone Miss Granger?” he asked looking mildly surprised.

“Yes.” She replied simply, before disappearing into her rooms with no further explanation.

When Hermione sat down on her sofa in her rooms she couldn’t help the girlish giggle that erupted from her lips, a boy...no a man wanted to take her out to dinner; a good looking and intelligent one at that! She sighed, if he wasn’t already her friend and colleague he’d be perfect but the fact that not only was he her colleague but that he’d also become a very good friend made her reluctant to be anything other than friends. After all look how she and Ron had ended, they had tried to move to a romantic relationship and it had resulted in a huge row and them not talking to each other for two months. They had agreed to be friends again not long after starting back at Hogwarts to re-do their seventh year and they still weren’t friends like they used to be, as much as they cared about one another and wanted to be friends it just wasn’t the same – it was awkward and she feared it may never be the same again.

Did she really want that to happen with Gideon? He obviously wasn’t the only member of staff she got along with but he was the closest to her age and the only one that she could say had truly become a close friend. The others were her old Professor’s and although she was able to be friends with them she would never be able to let go like she could with Gideon, she felt comfortable putting Gideon in his place if need be for one thing. She frowned, she’d done that to Professor Snape of course but then she’d never been on friendly terms with him and doubted she ever would be.

There was a knock at her door and resigning herself to the fact that it was most likely Ginny coming to gossip she went to answer it. The red-haired witch came straight in and placed the room.

“Tell me everything!” she enthused.

“He asked me out.” Hermione replied.

“I knew it! I told you he liked you!” she exclaimed excitedly. “When are you going out with him?”

“I’m not.” She answered quietly. “Not at the moment, I said I had to think about it.”

“I’m sorry...what?!” Ginny demanded. “What is there to think about?! He’s gorgeous and funny and a Professor and he likes you!”

“I know.” She sighed. “I didn’t say no, I just said I had to think about it. I don’t want to ruin another friendship by dating him. I have to work with him Ginny say we started dating and it went wrong a few months later; what happens next year when we have to work together, live in the same castle and our friendship is ruined? Do you not remember how bad it was with Ron?”

“I know...I still haven’t forgiven him for some of the things he said to you.” Ginny agreed. “Not that I blame him for the breakup of course or you for deciding that he wasn’t making you happy but just some of the things he said...you don’t say those kind of things to someone who is one of your best friends.”

“Well, the past is the past now.” Hermione shrugged. “But that’s my point; I don’t want to go around repeating my mistakes.”

“I guess.” Ginny agreed. “It’s just...he’s so gorgeous!” Both girls laughed at that and Hermione couldn’t help but wish that she had met Gideon somewhere else, that they hadn’t become as close friends...he really was the type of guy she was looking for.
