Chapter Thirteen
Confessions
Tuesday, November 4, 2003
For Harry Potter the last three days had been extremely exasperating. He wanted
to speak with Hermione. Actually, he needed to talk to her. His sense of right
and wrong demanded that he tell her about what happened with Jamie.
However, getting Hermione Granger alone was much easier said than done. It
seemed she was always with a student or in a conference. Harry had even gone to
her quarters last evening, but she wasn´t there. Harry was beginning to sense
she was avoiding him until today when he lastly got to talk to her for a moment
after lunch.
That short meeting left him with even more apprehension than before when she
informed him that she wanted to speak with him as well. Had she somehow found
out about Jamie? Was she irritated with him? It was eight o´clock and he was
stationed outside her door. Hermione had told him she would be back by then,
but there was no response to his knock.
Harry decided to wait in the hall. Mainly because Hermione hadn´t suggested
this time that he let himself in, but also for fear that Caitlin might be
present. It wasn´t that he had a problem with her nudity or that he didn´t like
Caitlin. Actually the opposite was true, Harry had grown found of the young
girl. He simply felt it wasn´t proper for a single male teacher to be alone
with a young female student. Especially one that was naked. He had made that
mistake with Jamie, but wasn´t about to make it again.
Unexpectedly Hermione rounded the corner looking somewhat out of breath as if
she had been running. "Harry, I´m glad I caught you before you left. I´m sorry
for being late."
"No apology necessary. I´m just glad that I´m finally getting to talk with
you."
Hermione removed the locking charm and they entered her living quarters. "I
could use something to drink. I ran all the way from Charlie´s cabin. May I get
you something?"
"No thanks. I´m fine." As Hermione poured herself a large glass of spring
water, Harry went to take a seat on the couch. As he moved the shawl that was
lying there he spied the book that Hermione had been reading. "Hermione, have
you finished this? I just heard about it on Friday, but when I went to the
library on Saturday afternoon it was out."
Entering the room, Hermione couldn´t help but blush when she noticed Harry
looking at the copy of Harry Potter - A History, she´s loaned out froon Saturday morning. I evidently
just beat you to the library."
"How dreadful is it?"
"The book taken as a whole is very complementary. It tells your life story and
discusses in detail your rapport with Ron and I. It actually makes us all out
to be quite extraordinary people and heroes. It´s just that.... Harry it´s
written by Rita Skeeter."
Hermione´s face turned scarlet red. "Harry she must have been there every time
we made love. She has every facet of everything we ever did to each other in
that book."
"The whole lot?" Harry´s face was suddenly as red as Hermione´s.
"It even has realistic drawings of you and I ... Harry, Jamie and Caitlin have
read this book. Who knows who else may have read it? The whole world knows how
intimate we were with each other. I intend to talk to Madam Pince. The book
does have literary merit in that it tells your life story, but I feel someone was
very slack, by allowing it to be in the general section where young children
could see those drawing and read about you and I making love"
Harry gave Hermione a gentle hug. "Herm, I unquestionably don´t want the world
reading about my sex life, but we never did anything of which I´m ashamed. I
loved you." I still love you. I´ll always love you.
"I´m not ashamed either Harry. We were in love, but it´s embarrassing to know
that Caitlin has read about the most personal things we have done."
"Don´t underestimate that daughter of yours. I think she can differentiate
between sex and love. She may be eleven physically, but her life experiences
have matured her beyond her teens." Speaking of Caitlin reminded Harry of
another girl. The purpose of meeting with Hermione was to tell her about what
occurred between Jamie and him. He should get on with that. "Jamie and her are
both special girls. They are very special like you. That´s why you three are so
great together."
"Hermione, Ietween Jamie and I."
Hermione melted every time she looked in Harry´s innocent green eyes. She could
be mean and make him tell the whole story, but she loved him too much to make
him suffer through that.
"Harry, Jamie told me everything. I know nothing happened."
"She told you that she wanted to give herself to me. That she had dropped her
robes in front of me and that I held her while she was practically naked?"
"Harry, she misread her deep gratitude as love. She understands now. I think
you handled it beautifully. She still thinks highly of you and you didn´t make
her feel ashamed or embarrassed for her actions."
"Then you believe Jamie and I? You believe we didn´t have sex?"
"I believe it took a great deal of strength on your part to resist her. Jamie
is a beautiful girl. I trust you and I trust Jamie. I also know you, Harry
Potter. Jamie is a student and you are her Professor. You would never cross the
line and violate the sacred trust that exists between a student and their
teacher. You both came to me and I believe you both. It was also confirmed by a
third party that you didn´t have sex."
Harry looked rather perplexed as he said, "A third party?"
Hermione laughed. "No, there wasn´t anybody in the room Harry. Jamie is in the
final phase of her Animagus training. Certainly you remember how you sleep next
to the Golden Griffin to bond with it. Jamie slept with her chosen animal last
night."
Harry was still bewildered. "How does that establish that we didn´t have sex?"
"Jamie´s selected animal is a unicorn."
Harry nodded. "Of course, if she had sex a unicorn would not let her anywhere
near. Jamie is only starting her fifth year. Did you start training her already
last year? How did you know she had the ability?"
"Jamie approached me in third year, but at first we didn´t think she had the
abilities necessary to become an A when playing the cello and how you were able to make your
hair grow? She didn´t think she had any of these abilities at first. A month
later she came back to me exclaiming that she had been controlling hair growth
and didn´t realize it."
"How could she not be conscious of controlling her hair length?
"Harry I´m talking about her pubic hair, not the hair on her head." Harry
looked uncomfortable. "I´m sure you noticed on Friday that Jamie is smooth down
there."
Harry hoped this wasn´t a trick question that he would later lament answering,
but shyly nodded yes.
"She has never had hair there. She never knew why until I talked to her about
how you had made your hair grow. She tried making it grow and was successful.
It seems that the rationale for her never having it was because she didn´t
fancy it and willed it not to develop."
As Harry looked at Hermione his eyes grew enormous. "Hermione, before
McGonagall left you or I start training, we had to show our aptitude. Did you
make Jamie show you her, her you know what? "
Hermione japed Harry in the arm. "Of course not. I trusted Jamie. Besides the
first night of training I knew she had the capability. I never saw Jamie
undressed until Saturday."
"You saw her nude?" The shock was evident in Harry´s voice.
"Caitlin and she were both here on Saturday and Caitlin made me feel quite
guilty letting her be naked, but requiring Jamie to remain dressed. I´m having
a thorny time with this whole naturist thing, but eventually I told Jamie she
could be naked. Extraordinarily by the time she left I had in fact gotten used
to her being bare. I don´t even give Caitlin a second glance anymore."
Hermione looked at Harry. "Harry, Jamie is stunning. She is exceptionally
intelligent and the age difference is insignificant. If she weren´t your
student, would you have had sex with her?"
"Hermione, she is exceedingly beautifuln in love with her and I believe she could have learned to
love me, too. At that time on that night, she wasn´t in love with me, but felt
in my debt. I was her Professor, someone who shouldn´t be using his position to
take advantage of a student. But truthfully Hermione, the main reason was that
it would have been unjust to her. She reminds me so much of someone I love. I
couldn´t make physical love to that engaging girl and have my mind make-believe
I was with someone else."
Hermione took a deep breath and prayed. "Jamie told me that you still loved
your first love, the girl to whom you had given your virginity and who had
given hers to you. Harry, I don´t need a book. I was there. Do you still love
me?"
Tears trickled down Harry´s face. "I´m sorry Hermione. I wanted to keep it a
secret. I know you´re involved with someone else and I´ve lost my chance. I
just wanted to be near you; be friends again. Yes, I still love you. I´ve never
stopped loving you. I was a fool to ever leave you."
"You´re not a fool, but you´re misguided. Harry, there is no one else. There
never has been and there never could be. Even Ron was just a rebound, that´s
why I could never bring myself to have sex with him. Harry, I still love you.
I´ve never stopped loving you." Hermione threw her arms around Harry and held
him closely.
Harry couldn´t describe the emotion that rushed through his body as he hugged
and kissed his true love.
They just stood there in each other´s arms, both afraid that if they broke the
embrace it would cause the dream to end. They kissed ravenously, desiring more.
Finally Hermione broke her lips free long enough to verbalize.
"Harry, you are the only person I have ever made love to and the only person I
ever wanted to make love with. I was prepared to die never feeling you inside
of me again. It´s been over six years. Are we going to stand here all night or
do you intend to carry me into the next room ande the sound of that." Harry lifted Hermione into his arms and
carried her into the bedroom as he unrelenting overwhelmed her with kisses.
"Professor Potter, disregard the foreplay the first time. I´ve been dreaming
about that the last six years. Just make it hard and fast. You´ll have plenty
of time for foreplay the second, third, fourth and fifth times."
"Now that sounds like a challenge. My sort of challenge."

Caitlin rushed hastily through the halls to the drapes hiding the staircase
leading to the staff quarters. She had fifteen minutes to get her DADA journal
and get back to Gryffindor tower before curfew. She ran up the stairs, down the
hall and after giving the unlocking charm into the living area. The room was
dark therefore she figured her mother was either out or asleep. She quickly
went to her bedroom, grabbed her journal and was prepared to depart when she
heard her mother´s voice.
The sound was coming from her mother´s open bedroom door. It sounded like she
was talking to someone. She silently walked to the door, which was standing
open. Her mother was naked. She was dazzling. Caitlin knew she shouldn´t watch,
but the sight hypnotized her. Her mother was lying on top of someone. She´s
shagging.
The foot end of the bed faced the door. Suddenly Hermione looked like she was
getting up and Caitlin was startled, but Hermione only got on her hands and
knees. "Mr. Potter, have I ever told you how much I love you? I love every
single part of you. I love your head, I love your nose, and I loved your ears."
As she named each part she kissed it.
Caitlin watched and listened as Hermione proceeded down Harry´s chest and past
his waist. "And I especially love you." Caitlin waited, but Hermione didn´t
continue any further. She was concentrating on that area. Suddenly Caitlin
realized what her mother was doing. She wut
rather ill at ease. This is wrong. This is private between two people who
love each other. I shouldn´t be watching.
Caitlin turned and silently exited the room. As Caitlin rushed back to
Gryffindor tower, her body ran the gambit of emotions. She was irritated with
herself for having watched, but pleased she had seen how beautiful her mother
was. She was frustrated she hadn´t gotten to see Professor Potter, but pleased
that her mother and him were together.
Actually Caitlin was more than pleased; she was ecstatic that the Professor and
her mother were together. Wouldn´t it wonderful if they got married. They´d
make such a beautiful couple. I´d have a dad!
But, what if Professor Potter doesn´t want me? What if he won´t marry Mum
because of me? My real dad left my birth mother because she was pregnant with
me. I can´t let Mum lose Professor Potter because of me. I won´t come between
them.

Thursday, November 6, 2003
"Professor Potter!" Harry heard the voice call out as he left his quarters
after showering.
"Yes, Professor Snape? What can I do for you?"
"Harry, I´ll be away on Hogwarts business this weekend. I´ll see that Ron gets
his potion up until Thursday; here is a supply for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
You and Hermione will be staying with him?"
"Yes. Charlie will be locking us in the same dungeon we used in sixth year when
Ron was first bitten by Remus." Strangely, Harry was looking forward to the
weekend. Certainly it was not because Ron would be suffering the transformation
to a werewolf, but rather because it would be the first time the trio would be
alone together since seventh year.
"Are you and Hermione up for this? It has been a while since either of you used
your Animagus skills; especially for so long a period of time." The Headmaster
was concerned for the sagree that he
had considered canceling his weekend plans.
"We´ve both practiced during the past month. Ron is usually quite out of it
when he´s had the potion the entire week. Hermione and I will look out for one
another."
"Good. Don´t want to lose two of my best professors."
* * * * * *
"Amanda, will you wait for me before you go down to the common room?"
"Sure Jamie. Is there a special reason? Why did you want me to wait?"
"I want you to check out the first years when I enter the common room. They
seemed grand about me being nude Friday night, but since Saturday they´ve acted
strange. I want you to tell me if it´s just my imagination or if something
weird is going on."
Jamie had been quite close to them and now they seemed to be avoiding her.
Amanda watched the first years as Jamie and she entered the room. Jamie´s attention,
however, was drawn to Caitlin who sat in a corner chair with her chin propped
on her drawn up knees. Something was definitely the matter and Jamie had to
talk to her before the evening was over.
"You´re right, Jamie," Amanda said. "They are definitely acting weird. They
waited until you sat down and then they all changed seats so that the girls
were facing you, but so that all the boys had their back to you. The boys sort
of acted afraid to look at you."
"Thanks Amanda. That´s the same way it seemed to me. I have to find out what is
wrong. Why don´t you join Alex? I have to talk to them."
Jamie got up and walked over to the table that the first years except for
Caitlin were all congregated around. She slid a chair up to an empty spot and
sat down. "Okay, who is going to be honest and tell me what the problem is?"
Jennifer looked at Jamie with a fake questioning stare. "What do you mean
Jamie? There is no problem. We´re just doing our homework."
"Matt, do you guys have a problem with me?"
Matt refused to look at Jamie, but responded. "We all love you and Caitlin. We
want you to be comfortable and relaxed. We´re sorry if we stared when you were
naked."
Jamie quickly put two and two together. "Do you guys think that Caitlin and I
are wearing clothes because you stared at us?"
"We´re not sure," Matt answered, "but Jennifer said it could be the reason. We
thought if we, especially the boys, didn´t look at you, maybe you´d go back to
being nude."
"It has nothing to do with you guys. The school just has certain rules. We
checked with Professor Granger. She said we could practice nudism in our dorms
if our roommates didn´t mind, but that doing it in the Common Room was
forbidden, even if you guys agreed."
"Were you guys avoiding Caitlin for the same reason?"
Matt looked shyly at Jamie. "No, Caitlin´s been avoiding us since Tuesday
night. She seems to be preoccupied."
"I have to go talk to Caitlin. Will you promise not to play musical chairs
anymore?"
They all promised as Jamie headed off toward the steps to the first year girl´s
dorm.
Jamie slowly opened the door and spied Caitlin sitting on her bed brushing
Pureheart. "May I come in and say hello to Pureheart?"
Caitlin sadly said, "Yes."
Pureheart gave Jamie an enthusiastic welcome as she came and sat next to
Caitlin.
"What´s wrong, Sis?" Jamie asked sympathetically.
"Nothing."
"Caitlin, I know you better than that. We may not be sisters by birth, but our
hearts are linked. I can tell when you´re hurting. Open up and share."
As Caitlin started crying Jamie put her arm around her and drew her closer
until the young girls head was actually lying on her chest. Jamie didn´t worry
about how this might look to someone that walked in the room. Caitlin was
hurting anpened? What´s the matter?
"Tuesday night I realized I needed my DADA journal and it was in my Mum´s
quarters. I ran up to get it and walked in on my mum and Professor Potter. They
were making love."
"Oh My God! What did they say?"
"They never saw me. I got the journal and then I heard talking. The door to my
mother´s bedroom was open and I walked toward it. I couldn´t see him, but I saw
my Mum lying on top of him. She was naked. Jamie she is beautiful. I can´t get
over how much you physically look like each other.
"She got up on her hands and knees and started kissing him. First his forehead,
then his nose and ears. Then she kissed his lips. She kept naming his parts and
saying she loved them until she got down there and then she, well you know what
she did."
"Did you see it? Did you actually watch?"
"No, Mum´s body blocked my view, but I knew what she was doing. I left because
it seemed so wrong to watch. Jamie, I heard of men and women doing that in
porno movies and always thought it was such a dirty thing. It´s not when two
people are in love. I wish I could have stayed and watched everything they
did."
"That would have been wrong. Making love is a very private and intimate event.
I´ve seen a couple of those movies you refer to and I agree. Those movies make
sex seem very dirty. But the way my parents described it made it sound so
wonderful and beautiful."
"Your parents told you what they do in bed."
"My parents are very open and loving. They want me to be prepared for life. I
had asked them if I could watch, but they said, no. They said someone watching
turns a beautiful act into something dirty."
"Do you mean that by watching I made what they did dirty?"
"No. They didn´t know and it was just a quick peek. Doing something that should
be a private thing between lovers for an audience makes it dirty."
Jamie hesitated as if confuyou wanted him and your mum to get together. It looks like you´re getting
your wish. Why are you upset?"
"They won´t want me. My real father didn´t want a baby. Why would Professor
Potter want a skinny eleven year old? If he doesn´t marry Mum it will be my
fault. Somehow I have to disappear so they can be happy together."
"Have you talked to your mum about this?
"No."
"Caitlin, I think you are not giving your mum and Professor Potter enough
credit. He would never not marry her because of you."
"You and Hermione have such a fantastic and close rapport. Look how you talked
to her about being a nudist and how she accepted it. She never once lost her
cool when we told her about Halloween. Give her more credit. Talk to her."
"I´ll think about it," Caitlin tentatively replied.
"No you won´t. We are going to see your mum right know. Get your robes. You´re
not going to fret about this another night."
Caitlin gave Jamie a sheepish smile. "Who died and made you boss?"
"The bossiness comes with being a prefect. Now are we going to go see your Mum
or do you want to lose Gryffindor 20 points."
"We´re going boss lady," Caitlin reluctantly agreed.
Fifteen minutes later Hermione was surprised by a knock on her door. "What are
you girls doing up here at this time on a school night?"
"I´m sorry to bother you Professor, but its Gryffindor House business," Jamie
said. "It seems one of the first years was out of bounds on Tuesday evening and
saw something they shouldn´t have? She´s very upset about it."
"Which student? Where were they and what did they see?"
"It was Caitlin. She was here and I think it would be best if I left and let
her tell you what she saw and what has been troubling her since."
Hermione face glowed brighter than Rudolph´s nose as Jamie turned and left.
ThHermione spoke. "Caitlin, I think you and I got off to a remarkable
start with our relationship because you were so straightforward with me. First
you didn´t try to hide your desires to be a nudist. Then you and Jamie came to
me and divulged what happened on Halloween. Both those acts took a lot of
courage on your part. Perhaps it´s time that I showed the same courage and was
honest and open with you. Suppose you tell me exactly what happened and what
you saw on Tuesday and then we can talk about it."
Caitlin hastily told Hermione how she had run up to the quarters for her
journal. "At first I thought you were asleep and I was just going to depart,
but then I heard your voice and I looked in your bedroom. You were lying on
Professor Potter and then you got on your hands and knees and started kissing
him all over until you got to his penis and then, well you know what you did. I
left because I knew watching was wrong and what you were doing was private."
Hermione felt extremely guilty and mortified. "It´s my fault that you saw that.
I should have closed the bedroom door and put on a locking charm. I´m sorry you
were discomfited."
"Mum, I hope this doesn´t make you think poorly of me, but I wasn´t
embarrassed. I´m glad I saw you together like that. I got to see that something
I thought was dirty really isn´t when you love someone. Does he do things like
that to you down there, too?"
Hermione nodded her head as she continued to blush deeply. "Harry is a very
special lover. He never thinks of his own pleasure, just of mine. I hope when
your time comes that you have some one as special as him."
"Do you want to marry him?"
"If he ever asks me, I´ll say yes, but I´m not sure if Harry is ready for
marriage and a family."
"Especially not an already made family with an eleven-year-old daughter. He
loves you, but he doesn´t want to be stuck with me. I´ve ruined your chances of
happiness. Haven´t I?" Caitlin burst into tears as Hermione threw her arms
around the young girl.
"Caitlin, the day I adopted you was one of the happiest days in my life. Not
once have I regretted it. You underestimate Harry Potter. He is a very unique
man. He knows what it´s like to spend your life feelings as if no one loves you
or cares if you live or die. I´ve seen how he looks at you. I think you´ve
already wormed your way into his heart. Harry wouldn´t consider you as a reason
not to marry me; he´d consider you a bonus. What do you think of him?"
Caitlin looked up at her mum as a smile came to her face. "I think I´d be the luckiest
girl in the world to not only have you as a mother, but him as my dad." Caitlin
hesitated as if not sure she should continue and then said, "Mum, what does it
feel like to make love; to have that part of a boy actually inside of you. Does
it hurt awfully bad?"
"It doesn´t hurt at all. Actually it´s the most wonderful feeling in the world,
but only if it´s the right person and at the right time in your life. That
means never before fifteen young lady. That´s the wizard age of consent."
Hermione hoped Caitlin would be older.
"I probably couldn´t have picked a poorer time to ask you this, but am I
allowed to go to the Yule Ball?"
"Have you been asked already?" Hermione was surprised. She hadn´t expected many
first years to attend. Now here was Caitlin wanting to attend.
"Yes, by two real nice boys in my class, but I haven´t given them an answer
yet."
Hermione thought a moment. "Suppose you tell me how you are going to handle the
fact that two boys have asked you to the same dance and based on the maturity
of your decision, I´ll decide whether you can attend."
"Well, I´m only eleven. I really don´t want a boyfriend, but I like them both
as friends and don´t want to hurt either´s feelings. I was going to suggest to
them that the three of us ike you and I both need to go shopping. Are you
available Saturday morning?"
Caitlin hugged her mum. "You bet I am. Can Jamie go with us?"
"Sure if she´s not busy. Best if we go this weekend since there is a Quidditch
match next week."
"Mum, buy something short and sexy that will knock Professor Potter off his
feet."
"I´m afraid your mum is more the long and plain type. Do you have all your
homework done?"
"Yes."
"Why don´t you break a rule and spend the night here? I´m sure your head of
house will let it slide."
"That would be great. You can tell me all about Tuesday night. How many times
did you make love?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, as she turned red. She couldn´t believe she was
discussing her sex life with eleven-year-old Caitlin. Perhaps the open and
honest conversation had gone too far. Or maybe they were more than mother and
daughter. Perchance they were also good friends. "Five, we never went to sleep.
I was dead tired all day Wednesday."
This was Caitlin´s opportunity to ask her mum to do something special, if she
dared. "Mum would you try something, just once, for me? Can we spend the rest
of the night together nude? I want you to experience how wonderful it feels."
Hermione was mortified "Caitlin, that´s something I can´t do. I´d be too
embarrassed." Hermione tried to change the subject. "I´m going to go get ready
for bed. Why don´t you do the same and then I´ll make us some hot chocolate?"
Caitlin headed to her bedroom to take off her clothes, but before entering the
room turned and said, "You didn´t seem embarrassed the other night and you
shouldn´t be, you´re beautiful."
Hermione momentarily watched Caitlin through the open door as she started to
remove her robes. Hermione wished she could share Caitlin´s passion with
naturism, but it went totally against her rearing. I envy her. She´life
feeling mediocre.
As the door closed to her bedroom, Hermione went over and stared at her
reflection. She felt badly that she had turned down Caitlin´s request.
Suddenly the mirror spoke. "It´s quite out of character for you to stare. You
rarely give yourself a glance unlike some of those stuck up princesses I´ve
served."
Hermione was a first started. She realized the mirror spoke, but they seldom
talked. "You never told me you served princesses before?" Hermione got her
pajamas out of the drawer and started to undress as she talked to the mirror.
"There are a lot of things I´ve never told you. We´ve hardly talked in the five
years you´ve been in the castle. I´ve never served someone who looked so little
at herself. It certainly can´t be because you´re unhappy with your reflection?"
By this time Hermione was naked. "I´m hardly anything special. Just a nerdy
little girl that´s grown into a nerdy woman."
"Perhaps it´s time you take a good long look at that woman. Do you think that
magazine wanted you for your brains?"
"They just did that for publicity."
"You are incredible. I´ve had owners who saw attractiveness where there wasn´t
any, but I´ve never had one who so vocally denied beauty that is so obvious to
the rest of the world. Do you think that hunk the other night was turned on by
your brains?"
Hermione looked at her reflection. "I think he loves all of me and accepts my
face and body for what they are."
"And what they are Professor Granger is drop dead gorgeous. By the way, that
young lady that you adopted is quite like you."
"What do you mean by that?" Hermione had become extremely defensive when it
came to Caitlin.
"She has no vision of the future. She is unable to picture how lovely she will
become."
"How do you know how she will look in the future?"
"Because I can rttle girl and a beautiful bride. Do you remember this young
girl?"
Hermione couldn´t believe her eyes. Suddenly, instead of looking at her
reflection she was looking at an eleven-year-old buck toothed bushy-haired Hermione.
"I´m impressed, but couldn´t you have shown me a reflection of my past with
some clothes on."
The mirror responded, "Your present condition determines whether the past or
future image is clothed or not. Would you care to venture into your future?"
"How far?"
"Sadly, I am not calendar programmed. The images can be from the past or
future, but I have no control over how far in the past or future."
"I´d rather not see a one hundred fifty year old naked me, but let´s try."
Suddenly Hermione was looking at a reflection of herself that hadn´t aged, but
she was pregnant, quite pregnant and nude. She wasn´t alone in the reflection.
Caitlin was there leaning with her ear against Hermione´s stomach. Jamie was
there. It looked like she was getting ready to take a picture. Suddenly another
naked girl about Caitlin´s age entered the reflection and started rubbing
Hermione´s belly.
"Who is that other young girl? Why are we all naked?" Hermione couldn´t believe
that her future could possible involve her being naked in a room with three
young girls. Even worse it looked like she was about to allow Jamie to take a
picture of her both naked and pregnant.
"You ask questions a simple mirror cannot answer. I only reflect the actual
past and a possible future."
"Possible future? Why do you say possible?"
"Each day humans are faced with decisions. Sometimes the simplest most
insignificant decision can have a tremendous effect on the future. The
reflection you are currently viewing shows you quite happy, but you are also
pregnant and in this room with three other nude girls. The woman who has looked
into me for the last five years wille.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Mum is everything all right. You´ve been
in there talking to yourself for fifteen minutes."
"Professor Granger, I know I´m just a mirror, but could I make a suggestion?"
"I´m listening, but please make it fast. My daughter thinks I´ve gone crazy."
"The reflection you are looking at seems to me to be quite pleasant. The young
ladies all look extremely happy and you certainly look pleased being pregnant."
"You´re correct. That looks like it´s a happy picture." Hermione had to admit
that the girls were smiling and laughing. What shocked her was that she was,
too. She looked as comfortable being naked as Jamie and Caitlin. She was
bothered most by not knowing the identity of the third girl. Who was she and
why was she with them and nude?
"Perhaps now is a time for one of those life changing decisions. May I suggest
you remain as you are and let the young girl into view this image? Perhaps I
can also show her one that will make her happier with her body."
"Are you suggesting I let Caitlin see me naked?"
"I´m suggesting that in order for that reflection to have a chance of becoming
a reality you must do it sometime. You putting it off may have no effect on the
future or it might make that reflected future impossible. Do you want to
gamble?" The mirror had her there. She couldn´t stop looking at the smiling
faces in the reflection. Could she risk losing the chance of this being her
actual future? Would it be that awful for Caitlin to see her nude?
"Mum, you´re scaring me. If you don´t let me in, I´m going for Professor
Potter."
"They tell me I´m the smartest witch alive and yet here I am about to take the
advice of a mirror."
"Perhaps that´s why you´re the smartest witch alive?"
"MUM, I´m going, now!" Caitlin turned and head for the door, not even thinking
that she was n at this mirror."
Caitlin rushed into the room. "Mum are you all right you.... You´re nak.... You´re
beautiful. I love you so much. I´m glad you changed your mind. Thank you"
Caitlin threw her arms around Hermione and hugged her.
"I love you too honey" Hermione was amazed at how much her being naked meant to
Caitlin. The warmth of the good feeling helped diminish her embarrassment. Look
in the mirror."
Caitlin slowly turned and her jaw dropped in astonishment. "Mum, it´s you, but
you´re pregnant. That´s me. Mum look at my chest, I have little puffy breasts."
Hermione smiled. "Yes, you do. Do you know the other girl in the
reflection?"
"No, but she looks to be about my age. There´s Jamie. We´re all nude. Does that
mean you´re going to become a naturist." Caitlin wondered who the third girl
was, but soon forgot her as she reveled in the fact that her Mum seemed to be
joining her in a pursuit she so loved.
"Hardly, the mirror said this is not necessarily the future, but a possible
future based on decisions we make. We look so happy and the mirror suggested
that perhaps as a safety precaution I should let you see me like this."
Caitlin gave Hermione the saddest look. She couldn´t explain why, but she very
much wanted her mum to be a naturist like her and Jamie. "Does that mean you
are going to get dressed now?"
Hermione could see the disappointment in Caitlin´s eyes and decided it wouldn´t
kill her to remain like this till they went to bed. "It´s almost time for bed.
I´ll stay this way the rest of the night, but I´m not cut out to be a naturist.
I feel quite awkward being naked in front of you."
The mirror decided it had been quiet long enough. "You shouldn´t feel awkward.
You are quite stunning. Are you finished with this reflection? If so both of
you please look into me."
The reflection slowly dissolved and was replaced by the actualimage of a beautiful
young blue-eyed girl with blonde hair almost touching her waist. Hermione was
brushing the girl´s hair.
"Mum, is that me? You haven´t changed; you´re as gorgeous as ever, but look at
me. I´m pretty and I have a great figure."
"Caitlin, look at my face in the reflection. The night we adopted each other
you said you wanted to make me proud. From the look on my face I believe you
will do just that."
"Mum look at the bed post, is that a wedding robe. Do you think I´m getting
married?"
"I think so. Look at the engagement ring on your finger." Tears started to fall
from Hermione´s eyes.
"Mum, that´s years away. Besides I´ll always be your little girl." Caitlin
smirked. "Did you notice we were naked again?"
Hermione couldn´t believe she was once again naked. She wondered if in time she
would possible adopt nudism. She wiped the ridiculous thought from her mind
"Yes, I noticed something else, too." Hermione was stunned to see that her
pubic area was total void of hair.
"So did I" Caitlin wished she could see the reflection of her mum pregnant
again. She had been so engrossed in the mystery girl and her own little breasts
that she hadn´t looked that closely at her pregnant mum. She wondered when and
what caused the tremendous change in her mum. Caitlin was definitely sure of
one thing, she liked this future.
Hermione looked into the mirror. "Thank you."
"You are quite welcome. It is seldom one of my masters has thanked me. Sadly I
must remind you that what you have just seen is not necessarily the future you
will live. Many, many decisions affect your future. I prefer to reflect
pleasantly. The boys´ camp leader mistakenly turned left instead of right. Make
the most of every day you both have."
Caitlin looked at Hermione with horror in her eyes. "Did the mirror mean that
if the camp leader hadn´t made a wrong turn, I would be deI think the mirror wanted to
impress upon us how important the decisions we make during our life are, not
only to ourselves, but also to others. Are you ready for some hot chocolate?"
Hermione and Caitlin talked about their experience with the mirror for about an
hour, before going off to bed. Hermione thought about putting her pajamas on,
but decided against it.
Midway through the night Hermione woke up to find a trembling Caitlin nuzzled
up tight against her. Softly she asked, "What´s wrong sweetheart?"
"I dreamt about this summer and Pureheart wasn´t there to protect me. May I
please sleep with you?"
"Of course." Hermione wrapped her arm around the young girl and drew her close.
It was only when Caitlin´s cheek touched Hermione´s breast that she remembered
that they were both naked. The young girl seemed to find instant comfort as she
draped her leg over Hermione´s and drifted into a quiet sleep.
For a time Hermione laid there unable to go back to sleep. Somehow them lying
together like this seemed so wrong and yet so right. No one would think twice
of a mother comforting her child if they were both dressed. She certainly had
no intentions of touching Caitlin inappropriately. All she wanted to do was
hold her and make the bad dreams go away. Just because were naked doesn´t
mean we´re twisted. This has nothing to do with sex in any way. Being naked has
nothing to do with sex.
Suddenly Hermione understood what Jamie and Caitlin had been telling her these
last few weeks.
* * * * * *
Hermione, as usual, woke up a few minutes before her alarm went off. She
carefully slid away from Caitlin before waking her.
"Ready to do some running sweetheart?"
Caitlin stretched and as she opened her eyes seemed to be trying to figure out
where she was. "I´m sorry I woke you last night. I didn´t think I nut I guess the mirror made me think of that day.
I didn´t hog the bed. Did I?"
"No. You kicked me a few times, but other than that you stayed on your side"
"I´m glad we bought me extra clothes so I don´t have to run all the way up to
Gryffindor tower. I´ll be ready as soon as I pee and brush my teeth."
Hermione watched as Caitlin skipped toward her room. If only I could have
been there for you those first eleven years. Suddenly Hermione realized how
impossible that would have been. She was only a second year when Caitlin was
born.
Hermione got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. She actually forgot she
was naked until she went to pull her knickers down. I´ll never admit this to
the girls, but being naked does feel kind of nice.
She didn´t fully realize how nice until she put her bicycle shorts on for
running and again later when she dressed for breakfast.

Friday, November 7, 2003, just before moon rise
. "Hermione, you are a spoiled witch. Have you ever seen a wolf sleep on a
rug?" Harry inquired.
"I don´t care if I will be in my Animagus form, it´s still a dungeon and these
stone floors can get awfully cold."
Harry looked at Ron. "You´ve been taking the potion all week?
"Yes. It´s good of Severus to still go to the trouble to brew it for me. It
makes a great difference in how I feel during the days of the moon. Without the
potion I´d be trying to shag every man, woman or beast within my scent. I
almost felt normal yesterday. Sam said I didn´t seem any different."
Harry and Hermione looked at each other questioningly before both saying,
"Sam?"
"I´ve wanted to tell you about Sam. I believe I´ve finally met the person I
want to be with for the rest of my life. I´ve never been this happy. If
possible I´d like for uHermione both looked like they were in a stupor. Finally, Harry
spoke, "I´m free, how about you, Herm?"
Hermione just nodded her head in agreement. "I´ve noticed how happy you have
been the last couple of weeks. If Sam is responsible, I´m happy you found each
other."
Hermione´s head was still nodding as if it had come loose. "Yes, Ron. The
important thing is that you are happy. If being with Sam makes you happy,
that´s all that matters." Hermione looked at Harry who just shrugged his
shoulders. Neither could believe what Ron was saying. Could Ron actually be
gay?
"Sorry, I´m late!" Charlie Weasley yelled as he ran flat-out down the torch-lit
corridor. When he reached the group he was panting. He briefly bent over trying
to catch his breath.
Ron looked at his brother. "Did you bring the revolver? And the bullets in case
of an emergency?"
Harry was taken aback. "Ron, do you really think that is necessary? The dungeon
is quite secure. I´m sure that the locks and bar will hold. Besides, Charlie
will also place some very effective locking charms."
"Harry. You and Hermione will be in there with me. Although you are both
accomplished Animagi there is always the possibility something could go wrong.
If it should I want you to have the gun. I couldn´t live with myself if I hurt
either of you."
Hermione gave Harry a look that indicated that now was not the time to argue
with Ron. Harry took the gun as Hermione, looked at Ron. His hair seemed to be
growing longer and his fingernails were beginning to look quite claw like. "I
think it might be best if we get inside," Hermione suggested.
The three friends stepped through the doorway and Harry and Ron pushed the
heavy door closed. Inside they could hear the sound of the locks being secured
by Charlie and then the enormous bar being put through the metal supports.
Charlie had to use a levitation charm to lift the bar.
"It will be sbr>
Hermione and Harry positioned themselves near the door and watched, as Ron
seemed to become quite nervous. Soon he began twitching and pacing the floor.
The closer moonrise grew the longer Ron´s hair became and he was now sporting a
beard.
"I think we should change now, Harry."
Harry was soon staring at a female wolf where Hermione had stood. Harry changed
to his Golden Griffin form. Hermione settled next to Harry as they watched
their friend suddenly cry out in agony and then begin to shake uncontrollably
as his shoulders hunched and his hands curled into paws. Suddenly Ron was a
wolf, but unlike Hermione his eyes were a glowing red. The wolf tongue hung out
and saliva dripped from his mouth.
Harry remembered the first night he had spent with Ron and Remus at the end of
sixth year. Sirius had been with him. That night Remus and Ron had not had the
benefit of receiving the potion the entire week and both Harry and Sirius were
attacked. Tonight was quite different, as Ron just seemed to quietly pace the
room. He glanced at Harry a few times and sniffed Hermione, but then went over
in a corner and lay down. Hermione came over and nudged Harry toward her rug
where they both snuggled next to each other.
* * * * * *
Harry awoke to see Ron sitting across the cell staring in the direction of him
and Hermione who was still sleeping in her wolf form.
Ron had a smile on his face. "You two have finally gotten back together,
haven´t you?"
Harry had a guilty look on his face. "Yeah. She thought I liked someone else
and I thought she was involved. With the help of a unique young lady, we
straightened things out,"
"Ron, I love her. I want to make it a life commitment if she´ll have me."
"What about Caitlin? How do you feel about her?"
"She´s grand. I´m looking forward to being her dad. I just hope they´ll botfell from the eye of the wolf lying beside Harry. Wolves don´t usually
cry or smile, but this one did.
Harry nudged Hermione awake as he heard the bar being drawn back from the door.
