Give Her Time

Chapter 6 – Honor Among Werewolves

A/N: I tried uploading this last night but the servers crapped out. I got that annoying Service Temporary UNavaible that we\'ve all been getting every once in awhile, only I got it for 30 minutes, so I went to bed. Sorry guys *HUGS* =-)

Harry called to Remus to stop.

“Yes?” Remus asked. His voice ayedayed the tension he was feeling.

“Could you move Ginny into her bedroom? It’s the second door on the left down that hall,” Harry motioned in the direction of the ‘guest wing’ as Draco called it, but it was actually just a ‘guest hall’ as Harry liked to correct him.

Remus hesitated. “Sure.” He mumbled. It wasn’t like he was going to lose control with her in a drunken stupor.

Remus picked the redhead up and carried her down the hall. She wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled into his shoulder.

\"Mmmm,\" Ginny mumbled.

He walked through the open door into a darkened room and after his eyes adjusted, he found the bed. Leaning over he carefully deposited her on the quilt. Trying unsuccessfully to untangle her arms from around his neck, he whispered, \"Gin, let go - you\'re in bed now.\"

\"No...Harry, stay,\" she whined.

\"Ginny - I can\'t stay,\" Remus said. Wow, she must really be drunk to think Harry could carry her like that through the house. He wasn\'t the biggest guy around.

\"Take off my shoes... they hurt,\" Ginny muttered and sniffed. Remus sighed. He could take her shoes off.

\"You have to let go first though -,\" he said while pulling at her arms. Ginny let go of Remus\' neck.

\"Alright,” Remus muttered as Ginny\'s arms moved from his neck just to wrap around his waist. \"I can work with this. Off go the shoes.\" He bent over to take them off, and straightened back up. \"Ok Ginny, time to let go completely,\" he said as he tried to coax her arms to release again.

The red head started crying to herself after Remus pulled her shoes off.

\"Why are you leaving? You always stay when I get like this. And Draco too - Where’s Draco?!\" She had a semi- hysterical lilt to her voice.

\"You\'re disgusted with what I did aren\'t you?\" she cried into his side while hanging on tightly.

\"I didn’t mean to act like that Harry - Please don\'t be mad at me. You\'re the only male who will even spend time with me.\" Ginny broke down into a full-blown crying jag at this point.

\"Ginny, its okay, its okay.\" Remus stroked her hair, distraught. \"I\'m here, and Draco\'s nearby.\" What was she talking about? Oh, that\'s right; Harry said she felt like she assaulted me. \"I\'m not disgusted with you. I could never be. And I\'m not mad at you either. And I am certainly not the only man who will spend time with you.\" He was at a loss. He knew she was drunk, but these feelings were definitely demons that she was facing. He wished he could take them all away.

\"Please hold me?\" Ginny wiped at her eyes in the darkened room and tried to still her crying.

Remus hesitated slightly, before wrapping her in his arms. I\'ll leave when she falls asleep. \"I will never leave you,\" he whispered to her.

\"You smell good,\" she said burying her face on his chest. Lord, she\'s a chatty drunk, Remus grinned despite all the thoughts swimming through his head.

\"Thank you,\" he replied.

\"Are you going to do that thing again?\"

\"What thing?\" Remus asked, having no clue what she was taking about.

Ginny sighed deeply and turned on her side away from him, pulling his arm with her until they were spooning. \"That charm.\"

\"Charm, what charm?\" Remus replied, thoroughly puzzled. What in the world is she talking about?

\"Where did Remus go?\" she asked sleepily. Remus shook his head. Good grief she was out of her head.

\"Remus went to sleep in the other room,\" he replied, uneasy about lying to her. \"You should get some sleep too now.\" Why weren\'t Harry and Draco looking for? W? Weren\'t they worried why he hadn\'t come out yet? They would definitely be a help right now. Oh well.

Remus watched as she finally started to settle down. Then she started snoring and tossed in her sleep in his arms.

\"I wanted to touch him so bad\" Ginny mumbled into her pillow. \"I wanted to feel him in my hands, all hard -\" she trailed off as a yawn crept up on her.

Remus watched her, a look of astonished shock on his face as she finally started to settle down. Did she really just say that, or was I imagining things? She started kicking her legs, trying to free herself of the robe which had become entangled; it looked uncomfortable to sleep in, but he wasn\'t about to do anything about it, especially not after that comment. There was only so much a man could take in one night.

Ginny finally turned completely around and yelped. She lifted her hips and dug underneath to pull her wand from some pocket in her robe.

\"Damn robe\" she muttered before casting \"devestius.\"

Remus looked at her in concern, wondering what caused her to cry out. She looked alright, he thought doubtfully, but then she muttered something in Latin and he found himself a little cold. He looked at himself and realized that she had charmed off his clothes. Please don\'t let Harry or Draco walk in, please Remus pleaded to whoever was listening. What was he going to do now? She still had one arm and leg locked around him.

Ginny grumbled and muttered the charm again, this time the robes which had been bunched around her legs disappeared and she sighed contentedly, throwing her wand on the floor.

A shiver went through her body as the cold air of the room caressed her bare skin.
Remus gulped; she got it right that time. The sudden contact of Ginny’s naked body on his was wreaking havoc with the blood supply to his head, as it was being diverted elsewhere. A shiver ran through her body, and he tensed as she pulled closer to him, but thankfully she didn\'t seem to notice his erection that was now fully up and pressed slightly against her thigh. What was he going to do, Remus panicked. He had left his wand in the living room, and he couldn\'t use her wand withoutkingking some adverse effect. He tried to move back in her embrace Ginny shifted her body so close she was half laying on top of him. Her breasts were pressed against his chest, her nipples peaked and sending darts of current through his body. She rocked her hips a little against his thigh and that\'s when Remus realized what was about to happen.

\"Ginny, I can\'t see you; it\'s too dark. Wake up.\" Remus pleaded. He wasn\'t about to let anything happen while she was asleep, and while he was still locked in her embrace. He shook her shoulders gently, hoping the movement would bring her back.

Ginny grunted and rocked her hips more firmly against his thigh. He could feel the warmth between her legs start to turn into a wet warmth, but was more was that he could smell it. The small whiff he caught on the bike was nothing to the sensual aroma she was giving off now. Or maybe it was just that they weren’t going sixty down the road with the wind to blow the smells away. Damn.

\"Ginny, please, wake up.\" Remus said a bit louder, still shaking her. He wasn\'t going to be able to stand this much longer.

\"Remus....\" she sighed in a throaty voice. Her lips found his collar bone and started moving over his heated skin.

Remus groaned and thrust his hips towards her before he realized what he was doing. He stilled suddenly and almost shouted, \"Ginny, wake up!\ Gin Ginny opened her eyes blurrily and smiled up at Remus. She pushed herself upward and rested her pert breasts against his chest before lowering her sweet mouth to his.

He couldn\'t hold himself back any longer. When she kissed him, he gave up all pretenses of control and kissed her back, his mouth opening slightly and his tongue running over her lips. He wrapped his arms tighter and pulled her close

Her hands wandered over his chest and down his stomach as her mouth opened for him. Her tongue skimmed over his teeth and played with him in a seductive dance that her hips were following.


Remus groaned, feeling her hips brushing against him as her tongue explored his mouth. His left hand moved up to skim the side of her right breast, while his other hand rubbed circles on her lower back. This feels so good, he thought, until he thrust his hips towards her and felt her hand touch his cock. What was he thinking, he thought horrified as he jumped back at the contact. She\'s married, and drunk for that matter. I\'m taking advantage of her. He retracted his hands from around her and moved further away from her until there was no longer any contact.

Ginny mumbled a half hearted complained and tried to snuggle back into his arms, but Remus quickly pulled the quilt up form the bottom of the bed and covered her up. He tucked it tightly around her bare body and as she sank into a deep slumber, he sighed deeply. She was going to be the death of him.

Grabbing a spare blanket from the closet, he wrapped it around himself and sat in the chair by the bed. He wasn\'t even going to put them in that situation again. Because if she purred into his ear again while she was sober, he wasn\'t sure he could stop and might just say to hell with her vows.

The next morning, Remus woke up sore and grumpy. Sleeping in a chair sucked; he didn\'t even have his wand to transfigure it into a bed or sofa. Ginny was still asleep in the bed, the covers tangled around her body which was now sleeping at a diagonal.


Remus walked downstairs, mentally reviewing old Quidditch scores to help calm him down after feeling Ginny’s wonderfully soft body pressed against his, the smell of her sex still clinging to the skin of his thigh.
Harry and Draco are having breakfast in the kitchen nook
Draco looked at Remus\'s messy hair and asked, \"Have a good time last night?\"
Remus glared at Draco. He then turned to Harry and said, \"Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but how in the world did you know?\"

\"Did Ginny kick you out of the bed?\" Harry grinned. Draco cackled and added, \"She usually charms my clothes off before she starts talking in her sleep about dogs.\"
Harry held up his hand

\"Ginny has a very set pattern...\"

\"First, she slams down doubles-\"

\"Then she falls asleep on the sofa -\"

\"Next one of us carries her to her bed, then she starts talking-\" Harry grinned at his husband before finishing, \"Then she gets caught up in the bed covers and charms her clothes off. She almost always misses when she\'s drunk. Hedwig *use* to be in that room, until Ginny\'s charm missed and he lost his feathers for a couple of days.”

\"How often does this happen?\" Remus gazed wearily at them.

Draco laughed out loud. \"Hedwig loosing his feathers? Only the once. Now the owl won\'t come in the house when Ginny\'s here!\"

Harry snickered and asked Remus, \"Did Ginny charm your clothes off last night man? Cuz you didn\'t come out...”

Draco whistled.

\"Got you a little action did you Remus?\" Draco asked, leering over his jelly and toast.
Remus cracked a slight smile in spite of the thoughts currently going through his head.

\"Yes, Ginny charmed my clothes off, but no Draco, I have some honor...I don\'t take advantage of women when they are drunk. Now seriously, how often does she do this? It must be often enough for you two to have established a pattern.\"

Harry looked at his husband and frowned.

Draco said, \"Not enough that we\'re that worried, but enough that we\'ve got her pattern down. Does that answer your question?\" Draco said in a protective voice.

\"Do you think she has a drinking problem?\" Remus pressed on, ignoriracoraco’s tone of voice.

\"Does that help you honor that she\'s so lonely she winds up here, drunk enough that Harry and I have both seen her at her worst?\" Draco\'s voice was rising. He put his toast down and looked at Harry who nodded slightly before Draco continued - \"She\'s not a drunk - She\'s alone and depressed because she\'s told herself enough that she\'s never going to be able to recover from this sham of a marriage. I\'m sure your Gryffindor honor wouldn\'t allow you to do anything about that though. After all, her husband all but beats her physically - She’s still married, and not your concern!\"

Draco panted after his tirade. Harry covered the blondes hand and gave a small squeeze.
\"I think what Draco was trying to say, was this - Ginny likes you a lot. She\'s been drinking more since the wedding. And you are a favorite topic of conversation for her during her drunken ramblings, though you’ve never made it to the list of men who wouldn’t touch her until last night,” Harry said.

\"You think I\'m not concerned about her?\" Remus growled back. \"She certainly isn\'t the women I once knew, and I\'m just worried. I wanted to know because now that I am teaching at Hogwarts, I can keep an eye on her. And I want to be her friend, but I can\'t bring myself to be anything more if she\'s still legally married, cheating husband or not! Do you too even know how Ginny feels about having an affair anyway? Just because she talks about me doesn\'t mean she wants to shag me,” Remus sat back and looked at the both of them with a pointed expression, intent on what they would say.

The two younger men looked slightly abashed.

\"Well...\" started Harry

\"Actually, last week, her exact words were: \' I wish Remus would just jump me.\'\" Draco said while looking at his feet.

Harry nodded

\"DRACO MALFOY!\"

Ginny screamed from the door of the kitchen, while clutching her head
Harry looked up and his face paled. Remus noticed Draco was looking a bit uneasy himself.

“Privo Draco calamitas quondam tantus postremo brevis!” Ginny said clearly while pointing her wand at Draco’s lower body She turned to Harry and said in a cold voice, \"I\'ll send somebody for my things I’ve left here. Remus? Could you take me to my house? I need to shower before going back to Hogwarts and I don\'t want to stay here a second longer.\"

\"Sure Ginny,” Remus replied carefully, the legendary Weasley temper making him tread lightly.

\"Gin,\" Harry started before Ginny cut him off.

\"Harry, I don\'t even want to talk to you. You sit here and talk about me behind my back, betraying my confidence. I thought I was safe with you two, when I apparently was only a subject for gossip over morning tea. Don\'t even try Harry\" she said as he opened his mouth.

\"And take care of your boy here, you two will find out later what that charm did,” she said with an evil smirk.

Ginny spun on her heel and walked to the front door. She grabbed her purse and looked around the living room with tears in her eyes. What the hell had happened?

And My Thanks…..

Krista – Thanks! I hope you enjoyed this little trip into frustration land as well!
Laerai – Things in real life happen at a slower pace than what is usually done in fiction. I like my art to be as close to real life as possible =) What with all the magic and stuff ;)
nesscafe – I have a small business and we go to scrapbook shows and sell our stuff to people. That’s what I mean by show – and we racked up! HELL YEAH! And updating will get much more regular now =)
Lara – The goal of a good writer is to make you believe in their world. I think Ginny would be an excellent match for Remus. A strong woman (who is admittedly going through a rough time right now) and an honorable man who would respect her. This is going to get good soon ;)
Rachelle – Thanks and here you go!
GrrArrg - `*blush* You give me the best compliments! This is going to get MUCH more tense before they actually have sex… You know me – I’m all about the tension and conflict *GRINS* I _hope_ I make it up with the sex…

GOOD QUESTION FROM A REVIEWER:

Estrilda - Q: Why doesn\'t one of Ginny\'s brothers do something about her slut b****** of a husband? A: I don’t think Ginny’s family is fully aware of the situation. Neville still goes with her places, and Ginny isn’t likely to moan to her family about what a mistake she’s made. Molly would have taught her to honor marriage and not to walk out. It’s a tough one, but I just think that at this point, Ginny hasn’t let on to the fully extent to her family of what a mistake she’s made in her personal life.
Q: How long do werewolves in your story live? He’s already much older than she and I would hate to think we will be widowed early A: I think all wizards live long lives and Remus isn’t any different. And he’s only 20 years or so older… that’s not a ton in the world =)
MoD – Neville gets more than a good telling off. Neville gets what he deserves, the slimey Bastard.
Charlie – hehehe My husband bought a Jeep – which is worthwhile too – only I can’t see HP characters going offroad ;)
BakaCHan – Glad to hear about Kali and I shall be updating soon!
Xander – I have never watched Anime – Why do you ask? And judging from what you said, I’m guessing you’re my age *GRINS*
Lizzie – I hope you got more sleep honey and I hope you enjoyed these two chapters!
Morwen – I made several buckets of money! And I hope these double chapters made up for the wait!
Sonni – Chocolate and a Red Head… mMmMmMmmmm And you will enjoy the ride – promise
SIlverose – I am so sorry for keeping you waiting my love!
Lizzypetsrus – more is here!
Kiristeen – Nevil;s character change will be explained soon =) It’s believable =) I’m glad you liked Still The One too… *swoons* Does a body good to hear people still like the old stuff!
