Chapter 6: How should I feel?

The days rolled by, Draco not leaving Harry unless absolutely necessary. Draco brought all of his books - there had been a lot that Draco had that no one else had access to - and Harry was determined to study while he was in bed. His head was clearing up nicely, as Madam Pomfrey said, so Harry would be released good-as-new in no more than three days.

Draco would give him a book. Harry would put his hand over it, and learn the subject within seconds. Then, making sure no one was looking, he conjured up quills and parchment to do notes. This left plenty of time for Harry and Draco to talk and enjoy each others company.

Harry even helped Draco ‘study’ like Harry did; by sucking the knowledge out of the book. Draco thought it felt wonderful; like he could answer any question of the subject, or recite any verse from the text. Harry’s powers were truly amazing, Draco decided.

The day before Harry was supposed to be released, the topic of the start of term School Ball was the main conversation between the two.

“Are you going to take Pansy, Draco? I don’t know about this reality, but in mine, she was a horrible dancer.”

Draco laughed and said, “Well, I guess some things will never change.” They laughed together this time, and only stopped when Ginny came to see Harry. He hadn’t seen her since the time when she came with Ron, so there was a bunch of snogging this time. Then, Harry told her the good news.

“Ginny, Madam Pomfrey says I’ll be able to go to the Welcoming Ball. Do you want to go with me?”

Ginny smiled at him and nodded. “Of, course Harry.” she purred. “I would love to go with you to the dance.” she kissed him again, but stopped short. “I’ve got to go study. I’ve got a whole book to memorize before the start of term.”

“Has Hermione finally gotten to you? Well, I’m glad you are taking academics seriously. Come here, I need to tell you something.” Harry smiled at her and whispered something in her ear.

“No way! You can do that, Harry? Could you? Would you?” she asked when Harry told her he could help her memorize the book. Harry laughed softly and nodded.

“Hand me the book, Ginny.” he said.

“Aw, Harry. It’s in my dorm. I’ll go and get it -”

Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her on the bed, straddling him. “No, Ginny. I’ll do it.” he blinked, and her book appeared in mid-air, hovering right in between him and Ginny.

“Wow! Harry, what else can you do?”

“Draco’s got a list. Have him show you. Now, place your hand over the book, Ginny. I promise it won’t hurt; it feels like your hand is being tickled by a feather. Alright?” she nodded, and he snapped his fingers.

Ginny could see the light come from the book and be absorbed into her hand. “Oh my.” Ginny said, then she leaned down and kissed Harry deeply. “Thanks a bunch, Harry. You just saved me two weeks worth of reading.” she turned to Draco. “So, where is this list of yours?”

Draco rolled his eyes and pulled out a roll of parchment. He unrolled it, and turned it to Ginny. “Can you see script on it?” he asked.

“Of course I can. I’m not blind.” Ginny said, half mad.

“No, Ginny,” Harry said amused, “I had the parchment jinxed so that only people with my consent could see the script. Draco just wanted to make sure you could read it.” He pulled a loose strand of hair from behind her ear and played with it.

She slid off him and sat with her legs dangling over the edge of the Hospital bed. “Alright, Mal - Draco, let me see the paper.”

He passed it to her, and she skimmed it, her eyes getting wider and wider as her eyes went farther down the parchment.

“Harry! Why didn’t you tell me about any of this?”

“I did, Ginny.” Harry started. Then he thought about it. “Well, I showed you. Remember when I summoned the…oil.” Harry said the last word in a whisper. She nodded, and he said in his normal tone, “See? Wand-less magic. I changed my clothes in front of you…countless times. Spell-less magic. I’ve Apparated us to Gryffindor Tower many times before, and Merlin only knows how many times I made us invisible so that we could spend the night in the Astronomy Tower. You have always known about most of my powers. The others are dangerous, and I didn’t want you to get mixed up with them. Alright? I did it for your safety. Besides; you know now. And I’m going to make it all up to you…after I leave this torture chamber.”

Harry rose up to kiss her. Draco rolled his eyes again; this time at their constant snogging. “Gee whiz, Harry. Is all you two ever do is kiss? It’s like your tongue is glued down her throat or vise versa.” Draco flashed them a grin.

Ginny got up off the bed, and bent down to whisper in Harry’s ear. She bent so low, Draco could see her panties under her skirt. He rolled his eyes again. When she left, Draco looked at Harry. He seemed to be thinking about something. Draco had no time to think about what it was, because Madam Pomfrey came to Harry.

“Mr. Potter, as of right now, you are free to go. Please stay out of trouble. Let me take your bandages off, and Mr. Malfoy can take you to your room.”

Once all the bandages were off, Draco pulled out the slip that he used to get into Gryffindor Tower last time. When they got to the entrance, Draco said, “Owlery.”

Before they walked inside, Harry made Draco invisible. When they walked in, a party was going on that hurt Harry’s head. He went to his room door, and Draco said, “Hinky-Puff.” The door swung open, and Ginny lay on his bed, completely naked.

Draco wanted to laugh and turn away at the same time. Harry snapped his fingers, Ginny was immediately covered with a blanket. Harry was trying to suppress a laugh.

“Ginny,” Harry said while laughing. “Draco got an eyeful.” he snapped his fingers again and Draco was revealed laying on the floor, panting from laughter.

She blushed crimson, and started to laugh too. Harry went over to her, and kissed her. He snapped his fingers, and she was instantly dressed.

Draco got up and plastered a sober expression on his face. “You are very beautiful, Ginny. I know why Harry likes you so much.” And so much for the ‘sober expression’, because Draco burst out laughing again. This time Harry went red before laughing.

After a long while, all three were sitting crossed-legged on Harry’s king size bed. Draco said, “We should have a party in here.”

“No way.” Harry declined. “I would get the biggest headache, and I can’t hold my liquor.” he exclaimed, and then asked, “Do you plan on staying the night in here, Draco?”

“Huh? Oh…well…er…” Draco stuttered, his face losing the little color it usually holds.

“You don’t have to sleep with us. I can summon you a bed, you know.” Harry teased, smirking at Draco. Draco blushed, then nodded.

“I suppose I’ll stay here. As long as it’s okay with you guys.” Harry and Ginny both nodded, then turned to each other and smiled.

Harry snapped his fingers again, and a big, fluffy looking bed appeared on the floor. He then pointed at Draco, and Draco changed into his silk pajamas. Harry blinked his on, and pointed at Ginny for hers, too.

“Well, I suppose we should get some sleep. Since we don’t have classes, do you want to be woken up at any given time, Draco?” Harry asked.

Draco seemed to think this over quietly. “Just whenever you wake up, I suppose.” he said finally, and took his place in the fluffy bed Harry summoned for him.

Harry nodded. “Alright. See you in the morning, then. Ginny and I are going to Hogsmeade - possibly Diagon Alley - to find our outfits. You are welcome to tag along.”

Harry got into his bed with Ginny, and pulled the curtains around them. Ginny stroked his hair as she cuddled up next to Harry. They all fell asleep with in minutes, and slept peacefully through the night.

Except Draco.

The shock of discovering that Harry had such an extraordinary powers finally overwhelmed Draco for a while. He stared blankly at the ceiling, at a loss over how to deal with Harry's revelation. Draco was normally adept at thinking on his feet, but this surprise prompted so many conflicting emotions.

His first and instinctive reaction was to blame Harry. They had always been such intense rivals that this was really quite natural. So many things had fuelled Draco's jealousy of Harry - his ability on the Quidditch pitch, his popularity with students and staff, not to mention his fluky success in vanquishing the Dark Lord at frequent intervals. Now Harry's powers were thirteen - Draco was a Parselmouth, so that didn’t count - more accomplishments to add to the long list a resentful Draco had carried around in his head for years.

‘This is all his fault,’ Draco thought bitterly. ‘Why does fucking Harry Potter have to be so special? Merlin, I had an edge over him for about five minutes with my power of the snake language, and now he turns out to have some things miles better than that. I get to tell snakes to do whatever, and he gets to hold the power of life or death over them. It's not fucking fair!’

But, in the end, Draco couldn’t be mad at Harry - not as much as he should be, anyway. He was mostly jealous, but pleased at the same time. Harry was his friend now, Harry would use his powers to his advantage. That’s not why he liked Harry, though. Right?

Draco went to sleep with these thoughts. His last thought before sleep consumed him, was wither or not Harry was reading his mind when he thought them.

**************************

(A/N: Ok, I know this is a very bad way to repay you for my mistake in Chapter 2, but here is a Love Scene between Ron and Hermione. Has absolutely no importance, and you do not have to read if you don't want to. Just skip down to my comments at the end of the chapter.)

Hermione moved from her usual place on the squishy armchair to the couch next to her boyfriend after Harry went upstairs. “Ron, what’s the matter? You look…disturbed.” Hermione said, hearing the obvious concern in her voice.

Ron was disturbed. He was slightly shaking and twitching. Suddenly, he exploded. “I want to see Harry! All he does anymore is pal around with Draco bloody Malfoy!” Ron bellowed, then sighed and rubbed his eyes. “And when he’s not with him, he’s off shagging Ginny! I’m sick of it!” Ron stood up. “Doesn’t that bother you? To know that Harry would rather hang out with…Malfoy? Of all people!”

“Ron, you are rambling. And sit down!” Hermione insisted. Once he did, she went on. “You need to let Harry have his space, Ron. Give him time to -”

“To what, Hermione?” Ron said shakily. “To be around Malfoy more? And all of his positive influences? Nothing good can come from their new relationship, Hermione, because IT ISN'T REAL!” Ron glared at her.

“Your right. You are absolutely right, Ron.” Ron went wide-eyed at her. “Because his past relationship with Malfoy being cruel, snobby, bossy and abusive had way more positive influence over Harry.” she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

Ron stormed out of the Common Room, and fled to the seventh year dorms. Once he found his private room, he went and laid down on his bed and huffed.

**************************

Back in the Common Room, Hermione lay there on the couch, wondering why Ron would be so upset. Of course, she expected him to be worried; Ron was Harry’s best friend, after all. Then, it clicked. Harry would tell him anything. Hermione dashed upstairs and made her way to her boyfriend’s room.

When she entered, she looked straight up at Ron. “Ronald Bilius Weasley!” she almost screamed, causing Ron to jump into the air above his bed. Instead of screaming, however, it sounded more like a loud squeak. “You know something about Harry’s accident, don’t you? He told you something, didn’t he?” Hermione sobbed. Ron looked at her and hesitantly nodded. Her heart sank.

“Harry didn’t want to worry you. He was very hesitant on telling me.” Ron whispered. Hermione sat on his bed, glaring at him to continue. Ron sat up from his laying position. “I don’t know how to tell you, Hermione. I almost fainted when I found out.”

“It’s okay, Ron. Tell me, please.” Hermione pleaded.

Ron let out a held breath and ran a hand to rub his neck. Ron removed his hand from his neck and took Hermione’s hand, and kissed her palm. He hesitated, then continued. “Hermione, Harry had brain surgery and lost part of his memory.”

Hermione gasped, then fainted onto Ron’s lap. He got up and placed her on his bed, then went to his end table where he had multiple potions. He found the revive for fainting, and dropped the required dose down Hermione’s throat.

Hermione awoke instantly, wide-eyed. “Ron, tell me I dreamt it all. Please, tell me that Harry didn’t have brain surgery and lose part of his memory.”

“Do you want me to lie to you, Hermione? Because if I told you that, I’d be lying.” he said with a small smile. Hermione got tears in her eyes as she looked at the freckled boy.

“Oh, Ron. What doesn’t he remember?” Hermione said, still crying.

“Well, its not really a what…it’s more of a…no, wait. It is a what. Harry forgot ever meeting Malfoy. So, when Harry woke up, Malfoy made sure he was there to tell them that they were friends before we could tell him they were enemies. Or, that’s what I think, at least.”

“Well! I can’t believe him! Why would he -” Hermione stopped in mid-sentence to gasp. “Ron, I think Malfoy might be using Harry for his powers!”

“Maybe, Hermione. We’ll talk to Harry tomorrow, alright? Ask him exactly what has been going on. For all we know, Malfoy doesn’t even know about Harry’s powers. We might be over reacting.”

“You might be right.” she sighed.

Ron smiled at her, and brought his lips to hers. They kissed for a long time, before Ron pulled away. With just enough room in between their lips, Hermione pressed them together once more, and deepened the kiss.

Ron felt his mouth open against hers, felt his tongue invade her mouth and dance with Hermione’s. She seemed to like this, because she moaned softly into Ron’s mouth.

Ron pushed her onto her back, laying on top of her, never once breaking the kiss. She started to pull off his over shirt, and he started to unbutton her blouse. Hermione got done first, since Ron was having a hard time with getting the buttons undone.

He could feel her soft moans in her chest, which sent shivers down his spine, making him warm with feeling. Ron started to feel dizzy from the sweet taste of Hermione’s mouth, so he pulled away ever so slowly. He took some air into his lungs, while looking down at Hermione. Her lips were red now; swollen from their feverish kisses, and her warm eyes were asking for his touch.

Their lips met again for another magical kiss. As their kisses grew more intense, he reached up to loosen her Gryffindor tie, and slide it from around her neck. Ron then rested his hand on her knee, massaging the supple skin with his long fingers. His other hand reached inside her blouse to caress her soft skin.

Hermione could feel his hand slide up her back and unclasp her bra. As his hand moved around to the front to caress her, she felt heat radiating throughout her whole body. He had touched her like this before, but every time felt like the first time. Ron kissed her like she was the only girl on the planet, like her kisses sustained him, like he truly loved her.

Hermione could hear a low, sensuous moan come from deep in his throat, and feel his body start to rock rhythmically against hers. She pulled her hands up and lifted his muscle shirt up and over his head. She pressed her fingers on his back, pressing them together.

They undressed rather quickly, leaving Ron in nothing but his boxers, and Hermione in…well, nothing. Ron still lay on top, and was running his tongue across her jaw line. His hands were on her breasts, gently squeezing them.

Ron pulled off boxers, and straddled Hermione. Still kissing, Ron gently went inside her, making her arch her back in approval. Starting out gently, his thrusts soon became more demanding, and he moved faster and faster. Twisting so Hermione could be on top, Ron let her rock for a while, until climax.

“Ron!” “Hermione!”

They said in unison as Ron shot hot liquid to fill Hermione’s insides. He slumped down on Hermione, kissing and nibbling her neck, while she ran her hands in his hair. Finally, he pulled out and lay next to her. They fell asleep almost instantly.
