Chereads / Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow / Chapter 87 - The Dragon Task

Chapter 87 - The Dragon Task

"As long as you limit yourself to just touching I think we'll be fine" Fleur slowly joined Ginny in rubbing Harry's stomach and chest "you know Harry, I think you really are Veela"

"Come on!" Ron exclaimed "he's not even that good looking"

"Thank god you think that" Harry smiled "if you thought I was good looking then I'd probably have nightmares"

"Ron" Ginny spoke but her eyes weren't leaving Harry "the fact that all the girls in the stadium were looking at Harry and the fact that me and Fleur can't seem to stop suggests you're wrong. Frankly if Harry didn't insist on waiting until marriage I would shag him right now" Ron looked disgusted

"And I'd do the same if he wasn't with you" Fleur commented "it's funny really, I find one boy that's acceptable for me and he's already taken"

"Sorry" Ginny replied "but if you'd like I could introduce you to Bill, he's no Harry but then again no one is. But trust me when I say he's a really nice guy. I can't say much for his body, you'd have to find that out yourself"

"Alright girls as nice as this has been I'm going to my clothes back on before I get a cold"

"Please no!" Ginny mock begged

"Sorry but I'm not going to have Madam Pomfrey say 'I told you so', she'd never let me hear the end of it" Harry leaned in and whispered in Ginny's "besides if all goes to plan then we'll be married before the final task." Ginny's eyes widened as she looked at Harry, he nodded before retrieving his clothes and putting them back on.

Once Harry and Ginny reached the common room they were bombarded with cheers and screams, it turns out the twins had a party ready. Fortunately Ron couldn't attend as he was in hospital, Harry and Ginny were pleasantly surprised when a picture of shirtless Harry was plastered on one of the walls.

"Really?" Harry chuckled

"Well it gives me to look at when you're not here" Ginny joked

The party raged on, butter bear was handed out, the punch was spiked, games were played, Harry was congratulated many times and a lot of the talk was based on Harry's impressive performance or the impressive visual image he gave everyone. One highlight was when random people were asked to dance in the middle of the common room.

The twins began tap dancing, Seamus did an Irish jig, Neville and Ginny did ball room dancing and then Harry took the stage. He showed off his skills with impressive dancing and included the odd flip or two. At the end Harry was getting complemented even more. Eventually Harry and Ginny sat together in a chair in one corner of the room, by which Harry sat in the chair and Ginny sat in Harry's lap. The two talked for a bit.

Hermione was about to walk up to the two when she suddenly felt itchy, really itchy, unbelievably itchy. She ran upstairs to stop making a spectacle of herself. The twins smirked, they were going to help keep her away from Harry and Ginny whenever possible, this time they didn't go big as they didn't want to draw attention away from Harry. By the time the party had finished everyone went to sleep, Ron had to stay in the hospital wing overnight but he was the only Gryffindor complaining about that.

Harry slept soundly that night, he felt over joyed, not only was his plan working so far but everyone else seemed to like him even more and he made trustable allies with Fleur and Victor. The fact that he was getting married to Ginny soon overwhelmed him but he couldn't stop thinking about it. Part of him wanted her to stay away so she wasn't in danger, but he realised that she'd be in danger whether she was with him or not as her family were well known supporters of Dumbledore. For the most part he was grinning with excitement and had to actually take a sleeping potion just to go to sleep.

Ginny wasn't doing any better, a part of her realised that she would be soon accomplishing a child hood dream and marrying Harry potter, however she told that part to shut up. She wasn't marrying the boy-who-lived, she was marrying Harry. Kind, sweet, loyal and loving Harry. She loved him more than when she dreamt about him from the stories, she could recall her first meeting with him perfectly.

He opened her eyes to the horror and beauty of the world and made her see her family in their true lights, he taught her who she could trust and taught her what real love was. Not only has he given her an opportunity to get away from her mother and be something more than just a housewife, he also made her feel more special than anyone else, even Bill, could. The fact that Harry claimed she was his sole reason for living made Ginny feel two different things, first hatred for Dumbledore, the Dursley's and voldermort for everything they've done to him.

But she also felt happy, Harry loved her for who she was and not just because she was a good looking girl, something he regularly told her. But because he loved the person that she was, in truth she felt the same for Harry. The fact that he was good looking was just a brilliant bonus, she also needed a potion to get to sleep that night.

"Ginny Potter" She giggled before she descended into her sleep.
