87 The Rest Of The Break

The next day I spent with Andromeda at her place. It was nice relaxing day, mostly because all we did was lay in bed after sex and then laid on the couch to watch television together and play with each other. We also absently snacked on our meals as we relaxed, not in any rush. It was technically our day off and we didn't want to do anything but be there for each other.

Andromeda's belly was starting to show as well. I didn't tell her that I liked seeing the loving smile she kept giving me when my hand would randomly reach for her and lightly caressed the bulge. I suspected she knew, though.

“Andi? I just had an odd idea.” I said when the episode of her favorite cooking show ended.

Andromeda softly laughed. “No, Harry. I can't get pregnant twice, no matter how hard you try.”

I barked a laugh and rubbed my hand over her belly again, which made her smile lovingly at me again. “I was thinking we could spend New Year's Eve together.”

Andromeda looked thoughtful for a moment. “As long as I don't drink anything to celebrate, I wouldn't mind having someone else in the house to ring in the new year.”

I couldn't stop my smirk. “In the house? Really?” I asked her and she nodded. “I was thinking maybe France or Italy... or maybe Australia.”

Andromeda looked startled. “Harry, you can't just decide to go to another country...”

“I've been doing that for years, Andi.” I interrupted her and her eyes widened. “I've planted teleportation circles in every major country in the world.”

“What? How?” Andromeda asked.

“Petunia is kind of addicted to travelling during the summers when she's not busy.” I said with a chuckle. “I have to admit that it was pretty difficult to convince her to visit those upstart Americans and laid-back Canadians a couple of years ago.”

Andromeda looked amused. “You told her about New York's shopping district and how much cheaper things are in Canada, didn't you?”

I tapped the tip of my nose to tell her she was spot on, and she laughed.

“All right, Harry. You convinced me.” Andromeda said and leaned in to give me a soft and tender kiss. “Make arrangements for France and I'll hunt down something nice to wear.”

I smirked at her again and took out a fancy silver sequined dress that had a bit of give in the abdomen area. Andromeda gasped and her hands immediately started petting it.

“Nanny, Butter, and Moppy have been going all out with the things they can do with clothing.” I commented and handed the dress to her, then took out matching shoes and a silk wrap, both with warming charms on them.

Andromeda let out a bit of a growl sound and grabbed me to pull me back to the bedroom.

Amy laid in bed with her head under the covers. It was New Year's Eve and the boy she loved above everyone else, even her parents, was out spending the night with someone that wasn't her. Normally, that would bother her, except she had finally told him how she felt and she wanted more than anything to start the new year with her lips on his.

“Hey, Amy?” A very familiar voice whispered. “Are you awake?”

“Harry?!?” Amy asked and yanked her blanket away from her face.

Harry gave her a warm smile that made her heart flutter. “I thought you were going to miss it.” He said and waved above his head. A countdown appeared and there were only a few seconds left.

Amy squealed happily and glomped onto his neck and smashed her lips against his. A little bell rang, soft cheering could be heard, and then fireworks started exploding.

Harry broke the kiss with a laugh and Amy giggled at him, because the sparkling fireworks were shooting from his ears. “Happy New Year, Amy.”

“Happy New Year, Harry.” Amy said.

“I better get back to my date.” Harry said and leaned down to give her a quick peck. “Goodnight.”

“Night.” Amy said and watched him sneak back out of her room. This is the best new year ever!

Hermione laid in her bed and regretted that she hadn't had the idea to invite Harry to stay over for the whole holiday break. His brief visit the day before Christmas to deliver presents hadn't been nearly long enough to spend with him. She was also getting really horny.

A soft knock on her bedroom window made her hop up and think it was really late for an owl delivery, only it was Harry floating there on his magic carpet. She let out a squeal of happiness and slapped a hand over her mouth to quiet herself, then saw Harry laughing.

Padma blushed hard, Parvati looked surprised, and Lavender laughed. Hermione's hand let her book go for a split second and she whacked my head. That made Lavender laugh harder and Parvati smiled. Padma didn't stop blushing, though.

“Thanks, Hermione.” I said and stood up as I smiled warmly at Padma. I took her hand and gave it a light kiss. “It's nice to finally meet the other side of Parvati's personality.”

“Th-th-thanks.” Padma said, clearly nervous.

“Please relax, Padma. I'm completely harmless.” I said and Hermione made a sound of disbelief.

“I think he's trying to be funny.” Lavender loudly whispered to Parvati across Padma.

“He's failing pretty hard.” Parvati loudly whispered back and both girls giggled.

I let Padma's hand go and put my hand over my heart, let out a groan sound, and staggered backwards to my seat and plopped down. “Ugggh, right to the heart! I think I'm dying!”

More giggles came from them and I pretended to faint. None of them moved to check on me.

I waited a few seconds before I opened one eye to squint at them.

“We're not falling for that old trap.” Lavender said. “As soon as we're close enough, you'll grab us.”

“Damn, you're all smart and pretty.” I sighed exaggeratedly. “The deadliest combination.”

They all looked pleased at the compliments, even Hermione.

“Even if he's not funny, that was kinda charming.” Parvati commented and her sister nodded.

“I noticed he didn't deny it was a trap.” Lavender said and gave Parvati a pointed look.

Parvati smirked at her and then she and Lavender put their hands behind Padma's back and pushed.

“EEEK!” Padma squeaked as she half-rose from being shoved and waved her arms as she stumbled across the compartment.

I instantly leapt up from my reclined state and caught her, scooped her up into my arms, and sat down with her cradled on my lap in only a second. Complete silence filled the compartment at me moving so fast.

“Are you all right, Padma?” I asked her in a soft whisper and lightly rubbed her back.

Padma seemed too surprised to speak because her mouth only moved slightly and no sound came out.

I glanced at Hermione and she rolled her eyes at me and went back to her book. Good enough for me. I thought and leaned in to give Padma a kiss and matched her mouth movements. Her whole body seemed to shiver and then her arms clamped around my neck and she kissed me desperately.

I matched her at first, then slowed myself down. She felt the difference and did as well, so we ended up having a very nice snogging session that wasn't urgent or rushed. When I eventually broke the kiss, Padma was blushing and she looked like she wanted to go a lot further than that.

“Catch me next.” Parvati said and Padma was unceremoniously pulled off of my lap and twirled around before she landed on a laughing Lavender's lap.

Parvati stepped back a little and then pretended to fall. I didn't react as I debated punishing her for ousting Padma before I could talk to her. Parvati looked a little put out at me not playing along, so I glanced at her sister and back at her. She got it right away and sighed as she started to turn away. I tripped Parvati with a spell and waited until she was actually falling before I moved.

I caught her the same as I did her sister and sat down with her cradled on my lap. The look of shock on her face was the same as Padma's and her heart was beating fast, probably because the shot of adrenaline from actually falling had shaken her.

With her properly primed in the same way her sister was, I kissed her. Not surprisingly, she was just as desperate for the first few seconds as Padma had been for saving her from being hurt, then she relaxed and we kissed normally for quite some time after that.

“I don't need that kind of rush.” Lavender said and gently moved a happy Parvati off of my lap to sit beside me, then she climbed onto both of our laps and snogged me normally. She didn't need the adrenaline rush to get herself going, not after all of the things we did while sneaking around at school.

A bang on the closed compartment door gained all of our attention, then everyone started laughing at what we saw. George was dressed as a Swedish Barmaid, long blonde wig and everything, and let out a girly scream, flailed his arms in mock terror, and ran away.

A second later, Fred banged on the door and we laughed harder. He was dressed as Count Dracula, giant fake fangs and slicked back black hair. “Thanks for all the fun costumes, Harry!”

I waved and he ran after his brother and yelled about 'vanting to suck yer blood'.

About ten minutes later, Fred ran back the other way, yelling in terror. Barmaid George ran right behind him and was carrying a bloodstained wooden stake and hollering for revenge. The girls and I exchanged amused looks and laughed pretty hard.
