Harry Potter The Kiss

Ginny let out a rather unladylike squeal before quickly kissing Harry, kissing Neville, hugging Hermione, kissing Neville, embracing Winky and Dobby, kissing Neville again before running and launching herself into Charlie's arms.

"Tut tut, a professor hugging a student" said George

"I wonder if McGonagall knows what she's employing here?" asked his twin

"I don't know," answered Charlie "but if they're all as beautiful as this wonderful young witch, I may have to resign before the week is out."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but my heart has already been captured. Even the most handsome professor in Hogwarts is no temptation." She laughed

"Oh sorry! Couldn't help overhearing, you mention me my lady." Said a smirking Sirius

"You jest of course Padfoot, the beautiful young lady was obviously referring to my good self." Proclaimed Remus while trying not to laugh

Ginny soon had everyone laughing by stating in all seriousness, "poor Hogwarts, she just wont know what hit her."

Taking Ginny's exuberance as one end of the emotional scale, Neville's reaction to the vision confronting the young wizard was the polar opposite. He was absolutely positive his seer abilities wouldn't compare favourably with the whomping willow's but knew in his heart this spelled trouble. His gran had just entered, chatting somewhat excitedly to professor McGonagall.

The headmistress made clearing the throat noises to get peoples attention. "Ah good evening everyone. I would like to introduce you to our new history of magic teacher, professor Longbottom."

Ginny and Neville felt as if the whole world was against them. Finding some time alone in a broom cupboard was always going to be difficult with the twins, Sirius and Remus at Hogwarts. When Charlie and Neville's gran were added to the equation it was going to be bloody imposable!

Harry and Hermione couldn't help their smiles, knowing exactly what the young couple were thinking. It also helped knowing that Ginny and Neville would be doing nothing more than handholding, with the occasional kisses for the foreseeable future.

They considered Neville a perfect gentleman but Ginny had a wild side to match her red hair. The more she was told not to do something, the more she rebelled against authority. Denying them opportunities seemed to be the best way to prevent them taking a step neither was ready for.

The ball was in full swing with music supplied by a mixture of wizard band and muggle disco. The combination of magical decoration and disco lighting was mesmerising.

Harry and Hermione were going round the hall, chatting to groups and making time to talk to the Abercrombie's, Griphook and the younger members of house Potter.

Later, as they were dancing Hermione whispered in his ear, "I think it's time you paid your debt, Potter."

Harry nervously nodded his head while his wife led him to the stage. As the music finished Hermione took the microphone and made an announcement.

"Good evening everyone! Please don't worry; there will be no speeches tonight. My husband, in his wisdom, made a bet with me. Of course he lost."

There was loud cheering and cat-calls at this

"Now as payment for loosing the bet he has to sing, right here, in front of everyone. It gives me great pleasure to introduce, the one, the only, HARRY POTTER!"

He took the stage to wild screams and chants of encouragement, the disco unit had a built-in karaoke function so Harry inserted a CD and started his act.

Harry strutted about the stage while singing

It's a kind of magic

It's a kind of magic

A kind of magic

Harry was now in full Freddie Mercury mode

One dream one soul, one prize, one goal

One golden glow changed what could be

Two spells of light that saved the day

The ugly dark tosser was blown away

Both were so into the performance that they didn't notice the feelings of unease that started radiating from the guests

The voice that sings inside your mind

Is loving you for the rest of time

The waiting seems eternity

The day will dawn of sanity

This reign that lasts a thousand years

Will soon be gone

The unease had escalated to dissatisfied mutterings

This flame that burns inside of me

Is fuelled by sexy Hermione

It's a kind of magic

It's a kind of magic

It's a kind of magic

Harry ended the song on his knees in front of Hermione and kissed her. Their guest's applause was sporadic to say the least but again, they only had eyes for each other.

While they were kissing, a very angry Emma Granger, her husband trailing in her wake, steamed right over to the couple and hissed, "I want a word with you two, in private, NOW!"
