Chapter Three

"Harry, I want to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Charlie's got a crush on you."

"And Jerkins' got a crush on you."

"He's got a crush on everybody."

"So does Charlie."

"That's not true. Well, not to that extent, at least."

"They would be perfect for each other, Hermione, we shouldn't interfere."

"Maybe they would but they are both too proud to admit it."

"You know something I don't?"

"Oh... Jerkins once came to me absolutely drunk and I... sort of used that situation to get to know him better. He told me full, unedited story of his life."

"Not for kiddies, I assume."

"You might say that. Thankfully, he spared me the details. He told me that he and Charlie were madly in love with each other while they were students here. After graduation Charlie wanted to study dragons and Jerkins wanted to become an Auror. They were both too proud to change or at least adapt personal plans. Neither of them wanted to seem weak or worse, lovesick. Now they both feel betrayed. Boys!"

"This is a sad story, Hermione. You still want me to have something with Charlie?"

"Why not? They may never grow up. And Charlie is a good guy. You are both good guys, you deserve to be happy."

"Don't you think I am straight?"

"Oh... Well... Does it matter?"

The next day Charlie caught up with Harry after dinner and offered his company for the evening. Harry tried to decline saying that he had work to do but it seemed that Charlie had already made a decision to make a move on Harry and only shrugged saying, "Work isn't going anywhere. You'll wake up in the morning and it'll be patiently waiting for you." Harry raised an eyebrow at that.

"Wow" was the first of Charlie's verbal reactions when he saw Harry's room. "How? It's... huge!"

"It's magic. I love lots of space. And it reminds me of Gryffindor Common Room. Those... were happy times."

"I am sure they were but now you do not have to worry about a group of psychos coming after you."

Harry smiled sadly at that.

"So, I am here to lift your mood, Harry!"

And with that words Charlie lifted Harry up, carried him towards the nearest couch (red with gold stripes), sat himself down on it (with Harry on his lap) and proceeded to kiss Chief Warlock thoroughly, hungrily.

Harry was shocked. Either that man is very stupid or overly confident; which are almost the same. Maybe he is just too Gryffindor. I can blast him to bloody pieces!

But he didn't. Instead he sat on Charlie's lap, frowning, while that man enjoyed himself and Harry's ear (he found it quite delicious).

Harry's shock dimmed a bit and he considered the situation. I am not even sure I am gay. But then, my soul mate is a man. I guess it doesn't really matter. Should I get to know what it means to be gay? Do I trust Charlie?

The latter was going too far: his large hands were travelling most delicate places. Harry didn't have time to open his mouth and express his worries, though - he found himself on his back, Charlie on top of him. He is rough and forceful but gentle at the same time; I guess he wants to top. Do I like it? Ugh!

"Charlie, wait!"

"Yes, Harry?"

"Too fast."

"Oh, I am sorry, should I have taken you out somewhere and bought you roses or something? I am not very good at -"

"No, no, it's O.K."

"But at least I am staying with you tonight. I hate sleeping alone." The audacity of that man!

"Oh. Alright"

***

Harry and Charlie slept together for more than a week in Harry's rooms. If Harry wasn't who he was he'd have probably died of asphyxia - Charlie hugged him a bit too hard. Harry's desire to have sex increased each night they spent together; if not for something truly enormous which was pressed against Harry from time to time, he wouldn't have been so much afraid and found the needed courage much earlier.

One night Harry decided that he should act like a Gryffindor and bid farewell to his virginity (he did some things with Ginny but they were not actually sex. These days he preferred not to think about Ginny). He shoved Charlie with his elbow and said, "Um."

"Yes, Harry?"

"Um. Maybe we should..."

"Have sex?"

"No! Well, actually, yes."

Charlie had the audacity to chuckle.

Harry was a bit startled when Charlie appeared on top of him and started, well, eating his face. Then Care of Magical Creatures Professor proceeded shedding their pyjamas and eating every patch of Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor's skin. Sex is a very messy thing.

"Harry, are you sure you -"

"Yes." Get on with it, dammit!

The feeling of something thick, wet and hot filling him was overwhelming and very... new. Harry forced himself to relax; the next moment he gasped because suddenly Charlie slid all the way in.

Charlie rested his weight on Harry for a minute enjoying the feel of his young and very tight partner; then he propped himself on his elbows and bent over to kiss Harry gently, lovingly.

Harry didn't have time to get used to the sheer amazement of other man inside him when Charlie started moving. At that point Harry's earlier sarcasm left him altogether. White-hot pleasure shot through him with every move his much more experienced lover made; then that sensation dimmed in comparison to the prickling feeling that started at the tips of Harry's fingers and was swiftly spreading all over his body. Harry was shaking with the need for release. It was almost a surprise when it hit him, his world erupting into a thousand colours; he even thought he saw... angels.

Charlie was groaning and breathing heavily, he had no strength to hold himself so he collapsed on top of Harry. After a moment he spoke as if to himself, "That was almost like -"

He didn't complete the sentence but Harry (whose brain started functioning) had a fairly good idea of what exactly Charlie meant.

***

The following month Harry and Charlie had lots and lots of sex. It seemed they tried everything, Harry even got to be on top a couple of times, though he decided that he preferred bottoming; Harry wondered why. The only explanation he'd found was that it depended on the partner. He was wrong.

That month was one of the happiest times of Harry's life. However, both he and Charlie understood that it couldn't go on forever. Both of them had their own reasons.

Charlie came to a conclusion that they had nothing in common except for mutual grief for Ron and Ginny. There was also wonderful sex but every time after magical explosion that was Harry's orgasm Charlie was left feeling that he didn't and couldn't get enough, as though he was only shown what true happiness was but was immediately denied the right to have it.

Harry, on the other hand, knew he had a soul mate. He also knew that very soon Malfoy would learn the truth - Harry made sure of that. And what exactly do you hope to get from Malfoy? Undying everlasting love? Are you completely off your rocker?

***

"Harry, we need to talk."

"I know, Charlie. We do not get much of the talking."

Charlie smiled wistfully.

"Harry, I am sorry."

"Don't be, I understand; believe me, I am sorry too."

***

Draco had a new hope in life. He found a potion that would help him find his soul mate! All I want to do is to live happily ever after; finding my soul mate must serve that purpose.

It seemed to him that fate itself was very interested in his happiness - he found that book, 'Advanced Identification Potions,' which, Severus said, was one of the books he tried to get his whole life; the ingredients to the potion were rare and expensive but he managed to find them all quite easily; Ministry at last decided that he deserved a small prise for his efforts during the war and gave him a thousand Galleons which was almost enough to buy the needed ingredients (he had to ask Severus for money, again).

The potion was extremely complicated. It took him more than a month to brew and now it was almost ready. In a few minutes he'd find out who his soul mate was.
