Chapter 124: The Spirits Gather
Harry's arm went back around Megan as he tried to step forward but the crowd of students did not move. With a cocked eyebrow, he asked "Would you please move aside so that we can go home?"
The group of students stood there looking at him until Harry pulled Megan closer to him and disappeared right before their eyes.
Daphne and the others watched as the crowd broke up and the dejected students started making their way back inside. As Granger and the other Gryffindors passed by, Daphne said "I guess it's that time then."
Fred stopped and looked at her for a minute before asking "What's that?"
With a smirk, she said "The time when you see that you never know what you've got until you've utterly screwed yourself by throwing it away."
Fred looked at her and gave her a small nod and then turned as Cedric started speaking. "You know love, maybe you should have stayed this year. Quidditch ought to be interesting now that the Gryffs don't have Harry to carry them."
Cho chuckled and replied "Nah, Harry was the only real competition here and without him, it won't be fun anymore. Not that it matters anymore but there won't be a Quidditch recruiter found within fifty miles of Hogwarts after what they did. My cousin said that were only looking for players who actually showed loyalty and would back up their teammates."
Cedric laughed "Maybe you're right sweetheart."
She got a calculating look in her eye and said "However, it may have been fun to watch the Gryffs fall apart under Johnson this year."
Harry's group of friends chuckled as they watched his former teammates wince at what she had said. Cedric even threw in "Hey Johnson, maybe you should add the Weasel as Keeper. He'd be a perfect fit for your team since he already displays those qualities your house admires so much."
The adults stepped forward and Amos said "You've made your point. Let's go home."
...
Megan and Harry had no sooner landed when she dragged him up the stairs and into her room where he finally allowed his exhaustion to show. Megan pulled off his cloak and then started unbuttoning his shirt.
Harry shyly said "As much as I'm enjoying this, I don't really have the energy for something like that right now."
She blushed. "Hush you, I'm not about to let you go back to the suite while I worry about you all night. Besides, you're not getting any of that until after you marry me."
Harry just smiled as she went about undressing him and putting him to bed. Once she had him under the covers, she made her way to her bathroom where she took a quick shower before changing into her sleepwear that consisted of her knickers and a t-shirt she had stolen from Harry. Her exit back into the room was under the raised eyebrow of her mother.
"May I ask what you are doing?"
"Harry's upset and exhausted and I didn't want to be up all night worrying about him so I brought him here."
"You may be engaged but you are still my sixteen year old daughter." She said sternly.
Megan turned to her mother and said "Mum, nothing will happen until my wedding night and only then if we feel we are ready for it. He's been through a lot tonight and I know him well enough to know that he will have nightmares. I want to be there for him and keep him comforted so that he gets a full nights rest."
Justine smiled "Just not too much comforting."
Megan nodded. "Go on, we will see you in the morning."
...
It was late morning before Harry and Megan came out of her room and the only reason they did at that point was due to the constant knocking that had been going on since early morning. When Megan finally opened the door, Reggie was standing there and only said "Our guests will be here in about two hours so you might want to start getting ready."
She nodded in reply but instead of the rebuke she expected, Reggie asked "How's Harry?"
"Rough night but I managed to keep him asleep."
From behind her she heard a sleepy voice say "Yes you did. Thank you for that."
She grinned as a shirtless Harry approached the door. "Sir, thank you for what you and Kathleen allowed last night. I… I wouldn't betray your trust Sir… ever!"
Reggie smiled at him. "We know son. Last night was a special case so we allowed it but don't think it'll happen very often."
"It won't Sir. I promise."
"You two get cleaned up and ready for the day. Dobby and Winky have already arrived and brought some fresh clothes for you and they have been laid out in the guest room so that you can get ready without any distraction."
Megan smirked "But Daddy, I wanted to wash Harry's back."
Reggie choked back a response as she began to giggle at him. Harry paled and ran out of the room while saying. "I'll just be going now."
