Thank you Amy - You rock!

Remus walked into the house after Ginny and the first thing he saw was a flushed Draco. Sirius was sitting on the sofa with a smiling, dark haired young woman next to him, and Harry could be heard doing something in the kitchen. Draco frowned at Remus as Ginny started talking to Sirius and jerked his head towards the patio doors.

It was a cool night out, but the lingerinn ken kept the chill away. The wooden patio had several chairs, and as Remus sat in one, Draco shut the door and cast a privacy charm.

\"What the hell?!\" Draco roared at the larger man. \"Ginny Longbottom?! You want to shag GINNY!? She\'s like... Harry’s little sister! You... You want her?!” Draco paced in front of Remus, messing up his perfect blond hair as he ran both hands through it.

\"She\'s... She\'s the one isn\'t she?” Draco asked, pausing in front of Remus.

Remus held his hands up in a placating manner. \"Yes,\" he sighed.

\"Do you even remember what we talked about?\" Draco was in a near panic.

\"Yes, I remember. I\'m not going to try and seduce her or anything, don\'t worry.\" Remus said.

Remus sat back in the chair and remembered the last time he\'d had dinner with Harry and Draco....

It was just before his transformation, and Remus had gone to Harry and Draco’s
He remembered thinking to himself while looking into the younger men’s eyes, \'Is there anything less Gryffindor than lusting for a married woman?\' Not even he and Sirius lusted after Lily once she and James were married.

Remus had come up to the castle as often as he could before moving in, trying to spend as much time with Ginny as he could. They sat next to each other at meals, and he was always going to the infirmary to check on supplies he might need if students got hurt. Poppy had seen through it straight away, but Ginny just showed him where things were stored. He didn\'t usually do that. And he\'d brought her flowers yesterday- a small bouquet of hand picked wild flowers from the garden at Hogwarts, but still… flowers! When she\'d asked why, he just looked at her and it hit him. Why was he bringing a married woman flowers? Why was he crushing onarriarried woman?

Ginny had been her usual kind self and dismissed her question by simply thanking him and putting them in a vase. She didn\'t notice, and he didn\'t point out, that the flowers were the exact rusty red as her hair, the same hair that haunted him at night and had since they\'d spent so much time together at Hermione and Severus\' wedding.

\"What are you thinking about Remus?\" Harry had asked. They were meeting for their weekly dinner.aco aco sat next to the young man, and Remus had found himself reflecting, not for the first time, that love was a beautiful thing.

\"I was just thinking that, aside from the two of you, love makes fools of us all, doesn\'t it?\"

\"Well, you\'re a fool anyway, so I\'m not sure I\'d notice,\" retorted the ever annoying Draco.

\"Draco, play nice,\" said Harry quietly.

\"I think I might be… umm… There is this woman. And I enjoy her company a lot-\"

\"You\'re shagging her senseless!\"

\"I am not! She\'s married!\"

Both the young men looked at him in disbelief.

\"You\'re involved with a married woman?\" Draco asked quietly.

\"No, I\'m not involved with her - I\'m just…\"

\"You\'re in love with her?\" questioned Harry.

Remus paused. \"No, I don\'t think it\'s gone that far. She\'s been nothing but a friend to me, and I\'m positive she doesn\'t return my feelings, but I keep seeking her out. I need to stop.\" He sighed. It was good to tell somebody, even if the two somebodies he was telling were looking at him with comical looks. Why was it the younger generation could never believe people older than themselves could still feel love and passion?

\"You have to stop. You just can\'t talk to her anymore - ever.\" Harry advised strongly.

\"Who is it?\" Draco questioned, with thinly veiled curiosity on his face.

\"It doesn\'t matter. He just needs to deal with this and move on!\"

\"But don\'t you want to know?! What if it\'s Hermione! Maybe that\'s not really Severus\'s baby!\" Draco was warming to his topic now. \"Maybe… Maybe Remus and Hermione and Severus are all involved in a love triangle, which keeps rocking back and forth and is tearing all three of them apart from the inside out, and soon, Severus and Remus will be seen at midnight on the dueling pitch in Hogsmeade, wands drawn, ready to face off for the love of a woman they can\'t keep on sharing! And Hermione, while watching from the side, clutches the baby whose father is a mystery, to her chest, tears streaming down her pale face.\" There was a fanatism hovering around Draco at this point. Remus wondered if something wasn\'t wrong with the young blonde.

\"You are watching too many soap operas on the TV Draco,\"
It cIt could happen!\" sulked Draco.

\"I know. I\'ve got to stop wanting to see her,\" Remus said as he ran a hand through his thick hair.

Remus came back to the present.

“But I can\'t just avoid her all year; she\'s one of my colleagues,\" he defended himself.

Draco looked out into the darkness and sighed deeply before saying, \"And why did you have to bring her here?\"

\"Well...\" Remus hesitated. \"She stopped by to see me, and I though it would be a good idea. She is the closest staff member to my age, not counting Severus and Hermione, who will be too busy with the coming baby, and I want someone I can talk too at Hogwarts. I\'m not going to stay away from her, but I am going to control my feelings, and make sure we only remain friends.\"

Draco snorted.

\"Didn’t you say something about wanting to shag her?\"

\"No, that was you Draco. Plus, it takes two to shag, last I checked. I\'m sure Ginny has no feelings for me.\" Remus replied.

Draco paused as he looked Remus over. \"I\'m not so sure about that. She looked awfully bright eyed when you two walked in.\"

\"Even if you are right, which I doubt by the way, it\'s irrelevant,\" Remus sighed.

\"She\'s married. But I\'m not going to shove her out of my life. Let’s face it; she needs all the friends she can get. She just can’t find out how I feel,\" Remus said, giving Draco a pointed look.

Draco looked in through the glass doors and Remus followed his gaze. Ginny was joking around with Harry in the kitchen. Her smile had spread up to her eyes and Harry was grinning at her. He said something and she laughed even harder. Remus could have kicked himself. Listening to Draco was never productive. Ginny was just excited to see her friends. It had nothing to do with his company. Damn Draco for secretly getting his hopes up with that comment.

“I never thought I\'d say this after Harry and I married but... screw her wedding vows man. She deserved more happiness than Neville could ever give her. You know there was a rumor he knocked up that new waitress at the three broom sticks? Ginny denied it, but suddenly the waitress is gone and Ginny took the job up at the castle.”

\"Really?\" Remus said in astonishment. He never kept up with the local gossip; all he had to do was wait for his weekly dinners with Harry to get it from Draco. \"It amazes me that she hasn\'t divorced him.\"

Draco snorted again

\"She\'s been begging for a divorce for ages. He refuses her,\" Draco said, rolling his eyes.

\"When did Neville become so cruel?\" Remus spat angrily. \"No wonder she is living at the castle.\"

\"About... forty five minutes after the wedding. I did some checking and the morning after the wedding he took off for London and was gone for a week. When he came back, he bought that awful house they live in and promptly told Ginny she needed to get better in bed or he would find others who would satisfy him\"

Remus looked back at Ginny who was now poking Harry in the ribs and smiling at Sirius and his new girlfriend. Ginny was saying something that had the new girl grinning like a pumpkin

\"It doesn\'t matter; I don\'t feel right attempting anything while she is still married. I just want to be her friend right now.\"

\"You are such a Gryffindor. What about righting wrongs? What about the fact that she\'s unhappy?\" asked an angry Draco.

\"Draco, you told me yourself not to go after a married women,\" Remus said in an exasperated tone. \"And look at her now; when she\'s with people who actually care about her, she is happy.\"

\"Ginny\'s not married. She\'s separated.\" Draco said in a flat tone.

\"Same thing,\" Remus replied just as dully.

\"Not even remotely,\" Draco said savagely and pulled the door open, releasing the privacy charm. He stepped into the laughter and left Remus by himself on the chair thinking about what had just been said.

~*~*~*~*~ EVIL PURE SMUT PREVIEW ~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No redeeming social Value what so ever.

Ginny looked at him for a moment before standing up and walking over to the kitchen. She come back holding a large strawberry. She glanced at his erection cock, memorizing every detail and then pointed her wand at the strawberry, while muttering a charm. The luscious red berry became – Well, Remus could only call it a red dildo for lack of a better term.

\"This is a non-working model of course....\" Ginny said. ‘Nonworking? What the hell does the working one do? Remus thought to himself.

The redhead looked at Remus and grinned before spreading her legs and inserting the tip. The moan that came from her throat was almost enough to tempt Remus to risk the certain pain he would feel by touching her.

Ginny opened her eyes and stared at the man before her, watching his cock leap as she pleasured herself, fulfilling the dare with more attention to detail than was strictly necessary. Taking her free hand, she trailed it down her firm body, watching Remus’ eyes follow along, and came to rest on her clit. Normally at this point Ginny would cover herself with the heel of her hand and grind away, but because Remus was watching, she made a show of rolling the sensitive nub between her nimble fingers.

“Ohh Gods Gin,” he panted, moving his hips in time with the trusts of her replica of him. “I… Harder Gin… I want to see you come,” Remus begged.

The sound of his rough voice and seeing his cock leap as she moaned, Ginny started in earnest working the transfigured strawberry into her core. She rolled her hips around in small circles, trying to find the stop that always felt so good… “Remus!” she cried out loud as she started the exquisite journey through her climax. She pumped harder, abandoning her clit to rub over a nipple. Ohh Gods yes… this was good.


~*~*~*~*~*~ END PREVIEW OF SMUT ~*~*~*~*~*~
