Yes friends…I'm alive. I want to deeply apologize for taking so incredibly long in updating this chapter. I never thought it would take me this long…in fact I started writing it almost right after I updated the last chapter. I don't really know what happened…I just kind of freaked out a bit. This…for some reason was the most difficult love scene I've written. I guess it was because I knew everyone has been looking forward to it, I felt a lot of pressure to get it right. Not from you…but from me. It was so silly, but I just couldn't make myself write anything for the longest time. Well…I finally got it done and I hope it's okay. Like I said…I just went through some serious writers block in the last month. Please forgive and I hope this chapter makes up for it! Thanks for your support!

Chapter 26
"Mia," Scorpius said in a soft impatient tone as she used his shoulder for balance while jumping up on her tip-toes. "I don't think they're here yet."
Mia craned her neck to look over the crowd that swarmed 9 ¾ and did another jump while still holding onto his shoulder. "You think? They should be here soon."
"They'll be here," he said patting her hand on his shoulder. "Just try to stop fidgeting for longer than five seconds."
Mia huffed out a breath. "I can't help it…I've been away for nearly two weeks vacationing with my parents, longer than that for you since you had to go off to Ukraine to visit your grandmother. I'm dying to see, Albus…aren't you excited to see your Frecks?"
"Well, sure…of course I am. I've missed her like crazy….but you don't see me fidgeting and jumping up and down to…"
"Oh, there's Rosie!"
"What?!" he asked urgently as he craned his neck and lifted himself up on his tiptoes. "Where? I
don't see her…."
Mia snickered. "Sucker."
Scorpius narrowed his eyes at her. "That's wasn't funny."
"Don't be ridiculous, Scorpius, of course it was."
Scorpius scowled at her for a moment, but then couldn't help but laugh. "Funny Face, you're a piece of work," he said putting a friendly arm around her.
"Hey, Scorpius."
He turned to the owner of the voice and his smile dropped and the amusement in his eyes turned drastically to annoyance. "Nina….what do you want?"
"Just thought I'd say hi," she said in a very loud high pitch voice. She glanced at Mia and put on a smile, although Scorpius could tell it was difficult for her to do so. "Hi, Wier…er…Mia."
"Hi," she said and looked up to see Scorpius was just as confused.
"Look Scorpius…I know I wasn't acting my best last year." She took a step closer and fluttered her eyelashes. "Julius and I are over…you were right about him…he's such a loser."
And Nina doesn't tolerate hanging out with losers, Scorpius thought in amusement. Trying to crawl your way back, aren't you Nina? "Yes, he is,' he said, deciding to play along. "You're better off without him."
Nina flushed with pleasure. "Don't I know it," she said with a giggle. "Maybe you and I could start over?" She gave him her best flirtatious smile. "Start where we left off last summer?" She trailed fingers down his arm that wasn't around Mia. "You are such a better kisser than Julius."
He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, but didn't miss the "Oh, brother," Mia muttered under her breath and gave her a slight squeeze in agreement. "Thanks for the offer," he said as he calmly shrugged off her hand. "But I'm seeing someone…so I can't help you."
"You're seeing someone?" she asked as the first hint of irritation appeared in her voice. "Who? Her?" she scoffed gesturing to Mia. "You can't be serious."
"No, not Mia…"
She sneered at Mia. "That's what I thought."
"Not that I wouldn't…Mia here is quite a catch…but Albus would disapprove and seriously kick my ass if I did."
"You better believe I would," Albus said who had caught the end of the conversation.
Scorpius grinned. "See? It wouldn't be worth it. Besides…I'm crazy about someone else." He
casually nudged Nina aside and headed towards Rosie. "Hey Frecks…miss me?"
She grinned. "Desperately," she said laughing as she ran to him.
Mia was right behind her, running to Albus when he held out his arms for her. Both Al and Scorpius embraced them in their arms and kissed them right in the middle of a crowded 9 ¾.
Nina watched, fuming with anger, while girls giggled and sighed with envy and the boys whistled and hollered.
"Atta boy, Potter!"
"Way to go, Malfoy!"
From the sidelines, Harry watched with a slight frown. "I guess they're not into being very discreet, are they?"
"I think it's sweet," Hermione said with a sigh. "I wouldn't have minded that kind of welcome when I was that age."
Harry lifted a brow at her. "Really? You should have told Ron or I…I'm sure we would have happily obliged."
Hermione snorted. "Yeah right…both of you would have stuttered and blushed like school boys."
"Nu-uh," Harry said slightly offended.
"Yeah, okay Harry," she said with a snicker.
"Oh shut up," he said pushing her slightly but couldn't help but laugh. "Let's go say goodbye to the kids…hey…there's James and Samantha." Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and tugged her over to them. "What brings you here?"
James looked over and smiled. "Oh…hey Dad…hey Aunt Mione." He happily leaned down when Hermione reached up for a kiss on the cheek. "We're saying goodbye to Freddie."
"And then doing our best to cheer up Danny," Samantha added after she greeted Harry with a peck on the cheek as well. "He's extremely depressed at the thought of being without Freddie for so long."
"That's right…Freddie has another year." Harry looked over to see Danny and Freddie in a sweet embrace. They were talking but every once in awhile they would sneak in a kiss. "Poor guy…that really sucks."
"Yeah. Hey, where's Nora?" James asked.
"I took her over to JoJo and Jerry Dad's last night," Hermione said speaking about her parents Joanna and Jerry Granger. "She's spending a few days over for a visit. My parents don't get to see the kids enough since they live in Australia, so I thought it was time for a visit."
"Dad!" Lily came up behind him and tugged his shirt. "Hu and I are going to go ahead and get on the train."
"We want to get a good compartment," Hugo said to his mum before leaning up and hugging her goodbye
"Let's have a hug," Harry said leaning down to kiss Lily's cheek and hugged his baby girl. "You've got to quit growing up on me."
Swamped with love, she hugged him tight. "Sorry Daddy…I'm afraid I can't stop it."
His heart melted when he called her Daddy…she so rarely did and he cherished those moments…even when she used it to get something from him. He kissed the top of her head. "You have a good year…and keep in touch."
"I will…love you," she muttered against his chest and then stepped back to say goodbye to Hermione. "See ya, Aunt Mione."
"Bye luv," she said giving her a quick hug after releasing Hugo. "Keep Hu out of trouble, hmm?" she murmured in her ear so only she could hear.
She giggled. "I will."
"Bye, Uncle Harry," Hugo said and grinned when his uncle lifted his hand up high. He leaped up with all his might and smacked it as hard as he could before landing back on his feet.
"That a boy…I'm going to have to start lifting my hand higher," he said giving his hair a nuzzle and then pulled him in for a quick hug. "Take care, Hu…see you at Christmas."
After Lily and Hugo said a quick goodbye to James and Samantha, they took off, giving a final wave before disappearing into the train. Harry and Hermione had already said goodbye to Albus and Rosie, so they just stood hand in hand while they watched the train slowly creep away.
Harry gave Danny a look of sympathy as he trudged back to James and Samantha. "Don't worry mate," he heard James said as he put an arm around him. "The year will fly by. Let's go to the pub…have a pint." Over his shoulder he gave his dad a roll of his eyes and waved goodbye as they walked off.
After the back of the train was barely the size of a speck of dust, Harry gave Hermione's hand a slight squeeze. "Shall we?"
Hermione sighed as she leaned into him, enjoying the way he easily snuck an arm around her. "Let's go."
They strolled lazily back to the car giving slight waves and quick hello's to people they knew. When they got to the car the pulled away but as soon as Harry started the car and pulled into traffic he reached for her hand.
They kept the conversation light as they kept the Muggle radio on low. Hermione talked about the progress of her book and how she should have the second book of her new series done in a matter of months. Harry talked a bit about a new assignment that was coming up and who he was thinking about putting on the case. They continued the harmless chatter all the way back to the house, neither of them mentioning what was to happen as soon as they got back.
With traffic, it took them two hours to get back to the house. Once he pulled into the garage, he turned off the engine and gave her hand a squeeze before they both got out of the car. Harry opened the door that led into the entry way of the house and let Hermione slip in first. He stepped in after her, closed the door behind him and as soon as he tossed the keys on the small wooden table by the door…they dove for each other.
Harry caught her against him as he swooped down and feasted his mouth hungrily on hers. Passion exploded between them as they clung together, Hermione's hands lost in his hair while Harry lifted her until her toes dangled. With a muffled moan, Harry started to shuffle around, hoping that he could get her upstairs to a bed before he took her. He bumped them against the dining room table so he paused there, plopping her on the flat surface so he could free his hands.
"Harry," she gasped holding onto him. "Touch me…I want your hands on me."
He let out a strangled moan against her throat as his hands streaked over her. Down her back, her sides and then back up to cup her breasts through the thin cotton of her dress. "Merlin, I want you," he whispered into her ear as his hands tugged at the material, desperate for flesh. "I want you under me…naked…god I want you naked."
"Then hurry," she moaned softly bringing his head back so her lips could find his. "Take me to bed, Harry…now."
"Bloody hell," he cursed and lifted her up again and hurried to the flight of stairs.
She wrapped her legs around his waist as he trampled up the steps, moaning in pleasure at the feel of his large hands cupping her ass. As soon as he made it to the top, he backed her against the nearest wall, ravaging her neck as he worked impatiently at the zipper of her dress. He hiked up her skirt and tugged down the dress over her shoulder so the cotton material was bunched around her middle.
At first he was disappointed she was wearing a bra, but then he got a look at it and nearly groaned in pleasure. It was sexy as hell…all that silk and lace made her breasts look so enticing. He hitched her higher and covered one of her silk covered breast with his warm mouth while she gasped as she gripped handfuls of cotton from his shirt and yanked it greedily up his back. He pulled away, helping her tug the shirt over his head then tossed the material aside before his lips met aggressively against hers.
With their mouths still firmly locked he used the wall as a guide to his bedroom since it was one door closer than hers. No sense it wasting time. He wanted her…had wanted her for a damn long time and now that it was finally here he couldn't seem to get her naked fast enough.
When they tumbled onto the bed, they both let out a moan of approval now that they were finally where they wanted to be.
They rolled together across the wide bed, stripping the very few articles of clothing that still had remained on their bodies. Harry loomed over her, spending a good amount of time on that kissable mouth of hers, before finally traveling down her trembling body. He wanted to explore ever inch of her, every shape and texture while she withered and moaned beneath him.
She felt like she was going to explode. His roaming hands and seeking mouth were about to drive her crazy. She felt his hot mouth on her breast while his hand slid up her thigh, his fingers seeking towards her hot center. "Yes," she whispered, opening her legs for him, then groaned his name when his finger glided smoothly between her folds.
"Hermione," he murmured between kisses as he moved his lips to her stomach while he continued to draw her up.
She gasped and arched up like a bow when his mouth replaced his finger, bringing her up with the clever use of his lips and tongue. It didn't take her long to come, she should have known he would be entirely too good at it. With her fists clenching the sheets her whole body went taunt and a long throaty cry escaped from the back of her throat as he sent her through a whirlwind of senses she had never felt before
As she went limp beneath him, still breathing heavy from her intense orgasm he had just had the pleasure of giving, Harry slowly moved back up her body. "You okay?" he murmured as he nipped her earlobe. Merlin, she was incredible. She had responded to him so easily it seemed he barley had to touch her.
She let out a weak laugh. "Just dandy…good grief, Harry. You do that very well."
He chuckled against her throat. "Thanks." He flicked a tongue over her soft skin. "Know what else I can do very well?"
"Hmm," she said dreamily as her eyes fluttered close. "What's that?"
For an answer, he nuzzled her neck, gripped his fingers with hers, and plunged himself deep, deep inside her.
"Oh!" she gasped as her eyes flew open then rolled them at the back of her lids, groaning his name at the feel of him inside her. "Oh, god. Oh, god."
"You can say that again," he groaned and kissed her long, deep and thoroughly until he felt her sigh and relax beneath him. "So good," he breathed against her mouth. "You feel so bloody good."
She groaned in agreement as she wrapped her long legs tightly around him. "Oh, Harry, I can't stand it," she gasped as she lifted her hips to him. "Move inside me."
"Kiss me first," he said desperate to have his lips on hers again.
With a moan, she obliged, moving her mouth urgently under his, sliding her tongue silkily against his in a delicious rhythm. She let out a muffled gasp when he finally began to thrust inside her, slow and deep. He unlaced their fingers to slide his hands under her, clenching handfuls of her hair, while she glided hers around him, stroking them slowly up and down his muscular back.
They broke the kiss but their lips still lingered inches from each other while they continued the slow torturous pace with one another. Gasps and sighs filled the room as they both became closer and closer to finally erupting over that final peak. Harry captured her lips once more, scrapping his teeth over her bottom lip before burying his face against her neck. He took his thrusts even deeper and a little harder as that need for release began to build and build inside him.
"Harry," she groaned as she easily fell into rhythm with him when he quickened the pace. "Yes…that feels so good."
"Hermione," he whispered in her ear. "Come with me." He pulled almost all the way out of her now, only to plunge deeply back into her…faster and faster as he sent them both towards the edge. "Come with me now."
She cried out his name and he groaned hers when that final long waited release swept over them both. Harry collapsed on top of her while she fell back onto the bed, both completely drained. Harry's heavy head laid found refuge on her chest and he smiled lazily at the sound of her fast frantic heartbeat.
"You okay?" Harry finally asked after giving them both a moment to recover.
"I think I'm blind."
Harry lifted his head to look at her and smiled. "Your eyes are closed, Sparky."
"Oh." Her eyes fluttered open to see Harry's lazy green eyes looking down at her. "Whew…that was a close call."
Harry gave her a slow grin and pushed back her hair. "Are you really okay?"
Hermione turned into his hand and kissed the inside of his palm. "Never better."
Harry leaned down and kissed her curved lips before rolling over on his back, bringing her along so she could curl up to his side. "Well. That was…pretty fantastic. We're going to have to do that again…and very soon."
She chuckled as she snuggled close to him. "Okay. It was pretty great, huh?"
"I thought so." He kissed the top of her head, breathed in her scent.
"Harry?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you think…that one of the reasons it was so good was…because it's been awhile? For both of us?"
"Could be," he murmured although a part of him didn't think that was the case. "Could be you and I will burn out of each other after awhile and we'll go back to being friends."
That thought depressed her. "Could be right."
"Only one way to find out."
"Really? How?"
"Just have to keep having sex over and over again."
Hermione let out a laugh. "Well…if we must…we must."
"I've fantasized what it would be like," he blurted after a moment of silence. "Being with you…touching you. My fantasies never came close to the real thing."
Amused, Hermione tilted her head up so they could look at each other. "That's good to hear. Are there a lot of different fantasies?"
He let out a laughing groan. "Oh yeah."
"Really?" She rolled herself over until she was fully stretched out on top of him. "I've had my share of a few fantasies myself."
Harry lifted a brow. "Yeah?"
"You bet."
"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."
She gave him a sly grin and gave a quick nip of his bottom lip. "Why tell you…when I can show you?"
Harry groaned when she wiggled her naked body down his, trailing her lips down his neck. "Oh, boy."
"We have all weekend to…share our fantasies." She paused from kissing his chest and flickered her eyes up to his. "Why don't I go first?"
"By all means." He let out a shudder when her breath tickled his stomach. "Ladies first."
