Harry Potter and the Thunderstruck Muggles(01) - Sahits

Harry described how he and Cho were holding guard over a severely injured Almyra, fromlate in the evening till early in the morning, until the wound had closed sufficiently so thatthey could travel back to Hogwarts, two humans on broomsticks, each of them carrying anowl. He finished, "I'm not Madam Pomfrey, but for cases like this here, I'd say I'm bettersuited."A little hope in Ginny's voice. "And how do you want to cure me?""Dunno yet ... For example, by telling you it's the intention that counts ... This man didn'twant to give you joy, he just wanted to humiliate you ... And you didn't want to climax, youonly couldn't avoid it.""Yes, I know ... But knowing's one thing, and feeling's another.""Of course. That's why the cure must give you back the proper feeling.""And how?"The sound of her voice made clear that Ginn'ys question had to be rated as rhetoric, ratherthan literal. After a moment, Harry said, "I'll do whatever it takes to settle that."Ginny turned a bit, to look at him. "I know what you're thinking, and you know what I'mthinking ... Harry, I wanted this for quite some time - it's nothing new to you - but now that'sthe last thing I have in mind.""Then we're complementing each other - It wasn't my intention ever before, while now - as Isaid, I'll do whatever it takes."Ginny turned again, pressed her back against him. "But not tonight ... Hold me, send me yourstrength ... Harry - in Hogwarts, I'll pester you and Kenzo and whomever until my ownharagei is up to the task, and until I can open locks with my mind."Harry smiled in the dark. "It's okay - but you know what's needed to open a lock for the firsttime, don't you?"Something like a giggle. "We'll find a way - and now let's sleep."* * *It was almost noon when Ginny's voice broke through the last remnants of his sleep. "Harry -get up, and get out - I want to dress in my own room."Opening his eyes, Harry saw a figure in a bathrobe, looking somewhat embarrassed, whileotherwise worlds better than the evening before. He giggled. "I have a few remarks about that,but all of them are better kept unsaid."She came closer, bent down to plant a kiss at his nose, smelling of shower and shampoo andyoung, healthy skin. "Thank you ... And of course she was right.""Huh?"50
