Exhibition is a Right: Chapter 25 Early Release (Patreon)

"Another into the Fold"

All individuals depicted are over the age of 18, and all activities are carried out with their consent.

Harry woke up feeling both sated and a little worn out. The covers over him were almost stifling, aided by the soft, warm body currently pressed against him.

Looking down, all he could see was a bright red head of hair poking out from the top of the cover. Smiling, he leaned down and gave the top of Sue's head a kiss, while bringing his arm up to cuddle her close.

Sue stirs at this, before cuddling him tighter and giving a low sigh of satisfaction. “What a night…you sure know how to treat a lady, Harry” she murmurs softly, before looking up at him with warmth in her eyes.

“I can see now why Lavender wouldn't stop bragging about it.”

Harry chuckled, before he lowered his hand and gave her ample ass a quick squeeze, making her giggle. “Just how many people has Lav gossiped to, I wonder” playfully complained.

Susan smirked, before she moved to sit up, uncaring that the cover fell down to reveal her bare chest, still slightly sticky from their lovemaking last night.

“Oh, I wouldn't worry. As far as I can tell, she's only told a few of our year…and maybe some of the older Gryffindors…”

Harry laid his head back down on the pillow and sighed.

“Oh, suck it up. I don't doubt for a moment that it won't result in more fun for you Harry! Now…does this place have a shower? I can't exactly walk back looking like this…”

As Susan said this, a door emerged out of the wall to the left of the entrance. She blinked, then shook her head with a smile. “I could get used to that…”

She lifted herself up on slightly shaky legs, both of them groaning slightly as Harry's cock, which had still been buried inside her when they fell asleep, pulled out at half mast.

The sight of last night's lovemaking all over her was nearly enough to bring him back to full mast. Seeing his recovering erection, Susan just huffed playfully. “You just don't run out of steam do you?”

Harry sat up and shrugged. “Sorry. It's er…quite difficult to keep it satisfied recently”

Susan stretched before walking towards the new door, her large ass bouncing behind her and finishing the job of “waking” him up.

“Well, I'm far too sore to go another round this morning I'm afraid. I'll have to get used to your size first, before I can do such a thing.” She opened the door and her eyebrows raised.

“Oh wow, it's a replica of the Prefect's bathroom. I guess that makes sense…” She then looked over her shoulder with hooded eyes.

“I might not be able to properly fuck you, but there are other ways we can have some fun. Care to come help me get clean?”

Harry couldn't have gotten out of bed quicker, as Susan giggled and dashed inside.

The pair exited the Room of Requirement, freshly dressed and with nothing but a flush to their face as evidence of last night's activities.

“Well, that was quite the reward Harry. Makes me wonder how you will top that when we win the duelling tournament” Susan smiled, her arms crossed behind her and emphasising her bust in her tightly buttoned uniform shirt.

Harry chuckled while wrapping an arm around her shoulders as they walked along the corridor. “Confident much? Though, I’m sure you'll do well with you and the rest of the team. But if you need more encouragement, I'm sure I could arrange some more rewards should you win your matches.”

Sue smirked, before coming to a stop by the junction of the corridor. “Well, I'm this way then”

“Did you want me to walk you to your common room?” 

Susan shakes her head. “Nah, I'm a big girl. Besides, you should go and celebrate with the rest of Gryffindor. If they are anything like I've heard, they are probably still partying from Ron and Colin making the team.”

Harry chuckled, unable to deny this. Susan then surprises him as she darts forwards, kissing him softly on his cheek.

“Don't be a stranger, Harry” she says with a soft smile, before turning and walking away.

Harry blinks, before crossing his arms and watching her leave with his own smile. Despite having spent the entire night together, there was something more…intimate about that last kiss.

“Well…I had better get back. I've put off that conversation with Ron for too long.”

It was only a short walk and a hidden flight of stairs before Harry was by the Gryffindor common room. Giving the password and ignoring the fat lady's knowing look, he came in to find the mess left behind by last night's party.

Though the party had clearly ended, the mess of empty butter beer bottles and snacks showed that the Weasley twins had pulled out all the stops, as usual.

As Harry walked into the room properly, he chuckled as he took in the sight of a few scattered individuals that had never even made it to their bed.

He did a double take as he saw that one Gryffindor girl, an upper year he didn't even recognise, was laid out on the sofa. What had drawn his eye was that her loose top had dropped, and now one breast was simply out in the open for all to see.

“Huh…Susan's are still better” shaking his stray thought away, Harry grabbed one of the several nearby blankets and covered her up. The girl hardly stirred in her sleep.

“Now…where would Ron be?” Harry headed up to the fifth year common room, opening the door to the soft sounds of sleeping.

Harry frowned. “Hmmm, I can't hear sawing logs. Maybe Ron didn't sleep here, same as me.”

He approached the four-poster that was Ron's, about to reach for the curtain when a voice behind him called out. “I wouldn't if I was you, I doubt you want to see Ron's tackle, even if his girlfriend's a looker.”

Turning, Harry saw the smirking face of Seamus sticking out of his own bed. “So, they are in there then, huh?”

“Yep. And let me tell ya, that girl's a screamer. Had to silence the bed to get any damn sleep” Seamus chuckled. “You lucked out. Spent the night at Hufflepuff did ya?” 

“Something like that” Harry grinned in return.

The pair were distracted as Ron's bed started to shake and move in a distinct pattern…

“Ah, looks like they're up. And at it again” Seamus rolled his eyes.

Harry sighed. “Could you tell him I would like a word, when he's finished?”

Seamus nodded, before retreating into his own bed once more. Harry gave the shaking bed one last look before chuckling and heading back down to the common room.

By the time he reached the common room, it had a new addition. One with a distinctive streak of purple in her hair.

Hermione was now sitting in one of the open chairs, a large book open upon her lap. She was wearing one of her tight leather outfits with several metal details scattered across it, highlighting her figure nicely.

“Morning. Hope you had a good night” Harry said with a smile, as he fell into the nearby seat. 

Hermione looked up briefly from her book, before returning her gaze to it and turning a page. “It was, thank you. Ginny was determined to be a good distraction. Though, don't think I'm happy that I missed the opportunity to see you and Susan together.”

Harry shrugged. “I suspect that there will be other opportunities.”

Hermione smiled slightly at this. “Good. And Ron? Do you still plan to tell him about your situation?”

“Yes, but he's busy at the moment” Hermione gained a look of understanding, then returned to her reading. “What? Don't want to go and watch them?”

“Already have. Several times. I'm good.”

“And Ginny? I can’t help noticing that she hasn’t emerged yet.” Harry asked.

Hermione rolled her eyes. “She had too much of the firewhisky that the upper years brought. She’s still nursing her hangover upstairs. She’ll live, but she’s regretting her choices at this moment.” Harry winced, knowing too well how that could feel.

The pair sat in comfortable silence for several minutes, Hermione reading and Harry simply enjoying the peace.

After about half an hour, footsteps echoed out from the dorm stairway. Ron and Faye emerged, arms around each other and Faye giggling at something Ron was whispering in her ear.

Faye was still wearing her makeshift Gryffindor cheerleader outfit, though it was now crumpled and even had one of the shoulder straps broken.

“Hey mate! Seamus said you wanted a word?” Ron called out with a large smile on his face.

“Morning! Congrats on making the duel team. Yeah, I did. But…” Harry gave Faye an apologetic look.

Faye rolled her eyes, but smiled. “I get it, Golden Trio stuff.” Faye then turned and gave Ron a deep kiss, before pulling back. “I'm going to go get Lav to fix this outfit. It would be a shame if you couldn't rip it off me again, huh?”

She then walked off towards the female dorms, leaving Ron behind with a goofy grin.

“Golden Trio?” Harry asked while leaning towards Hermione.

“Apparently, that's what some of the school has taken to calling us. Something to do with always being involved in the year's events. The twins even have betting odds for if we will be involved this year or not.”

Harry sighed. “Well, I'm not putting a bet on us not being involved…” Hermione just nodded. Ron, meanwhile, shook himself out of his stupor.

“Right, sorry mate. What did you want to talk to me about?”

Harry looked around the common room. “Not here mate, let's go somewhere quieter.”

Less than fifteen minutes later, and Harry was once more pacing back and forth outside of the blank wall of the seventh floor corridor.

Both Ron and Hermione were watching him, one in curiosity and the other in mild concern.

“Er…you alright mate? Sue didn't drain you of your senses too, right?”

Harry paused on his second pass, looking up in realisation. “Ohhh, right. You wouldn't know of this place yet. Just give me a moment.”

Harry completed another pass, causing the door to emerge from the wall. Hermione's eyebrows shot up, while Ron gaped. “Wicked…”

Opening the door, Harry gestured for them to enter. With little hesitance, they did so. Inside was a small, cozy room with a central table, three comfy chairs and a roaring fireplace in the corner.

“Huh, neat. Good to know this is here.” Ron said, while hopping into the nearest seat.

Hermione was looking around the room in interest. “Impressive. The door only appears when you walk back and forth a few times…Marauder's map?”

Harry also took a seat. “No, Dobby actually. Helped me find it in my Fifth year”

Hermione nodded in understanding. Ron just looked confused. “Fifth year? Mate, we’re only fourth years. You sure you’re feeling alright?”

Harry and Hermione exchanged a meaningful look, before Harry sighed and leant forward. “What I'm about to tell you is gonna be hard to believe. But please, let me finish, ok bud?”

Ron nodded, looking slightly concerned but determined to do just that.

Half an hour later, Ron was leaning back in his chair and chewing the inside of his cheek in thought. “Huh. I'd noticed you had changed a little recently mate. You finally waking up to my sister wanting to jump your bones was a clear example.”

Harry spluttered. “That's what you lead with? No denial? No…”you two are mental”?”

Ron raised an eyebrow. “Oh, you two are mental, alright. But you've provided plenty of examples  and proof. I can't really deny you, can I? 

Harry slumped back in obvious relief.

“Soo…who else knows? And why the bloody hell did it take you so long to tell me?”

Harry shook his head vehemently. “I wanted to tell you buddy, but it was...difficult. Hermione kinda found out by accident, and when she did we agreed you should know too. But only after your duel trials. We didn't want to distract you.”

Ron huffed. “Yeah, alright. It would've been a distraction, I'll give you that…”

Hermione tapped her fingers on the arm of the chair. “The only other person who knows is Luna. But she kinda just knew, because…she's Luna?”

Ron accepted that with an easy shrug. “Yep, sounds about right. So…you said you need me to what? Brainstorm options? I'm gonna need more information. And snacks.”

Harry couldn't help but laugh. “I'm sure we can sort something out. I'll have a word with Dobby sometime. And Ron? Thanks.”

Ron just scratched his chin sheepishly. “S’alright. You're my best mate. Even if you're from the future.”

Hermione interjected at this point. “You mentioned this room can be anything? So this is where you brought Susan last night!” Harry just laughed while nodding. “Lucky cow! The possibilities are endless!”

Ron smirked. “Why, thinking of bringing Tonks here, are you?”

Hermione blushed. “Professor Tonks, Ron” she grumbles half heartedly.

The trio devolved into back and forth teasing about last night's activities, as well as previous partners. The stress of the oncoming situation was, at least for a time, forgotten.

Harry felt a burden lift as they talked. “I'll admit, you were right Luna…hopefully, between us we can prevent the worst from happening.”

Author's Note: Mostly a scene setting chapter this time, but most importantly, Ron is now in the know! The day that the delegations from the other school's arrive is rapidly approaching, but we have at least one more chapter first. Stay tuned all!
