Hero's Ladies

Harry finds himself at the center of female attention after the war. He has his old friends for support and some unexpected new ones, helping him enjoy the attention and make his life better than he ever expected.

War's End – Summer 1998

He tried. He really tried hard, but it was just not meant to be. Harry just couldn't continue pretending there was any future for him with Ginny. She was a lovely girl and he loved her dearly as a friend, almost as much as he loved Hermione, whom he was now helping with the preparations for her wedding with Ron.

'That's funny,' he thought. 'After Ron had deserted us during the Horcrux hunt, we were both devastated. It took us a few days of solitary misery before we started seeking comfort with each other.' Their physical proximity along with their raging hormones did the rest, and soon they gave their virginity to each other. Well... Hermione did. It wasn't a love story, though. Despite being very good friends, and although the sexual intercourse brought them even closer, their romantic interests stayed elsewhere. It was also due to some incompatibility they found, once the initial enthusiasm subsided.

Harry enjoyed cuddling, caressing and fondling even more than penetrating, which surprised them both. Hermione preferred it rough and quick, being fast to get aroused and reaching her climax quite quickly. The only reason she hadn't given her virginity to Ron earlier was her fear of the first time, especially with someone as rough as Ron. Having Harry doing it for her was quite a relief, and Harry really appreciated her in words and deeds more than she could expect Ron to. Yet she loved Ron despite all his shortcomings.

As their time alone lengthened, Harry was becoming a bit conscious of their incompatibility. He was eager to please Hermione as much as she wanted – usually more than twice a day, yet he felt it wasn't really satisfactory for him. Once sated, Hermione was usually back to her efficient self, while Harry wanted to still cuddle, caress her pert tits, tease her nipples, lick her navel and just continue making love, even after his body reached its climax. In a way, he was quite relieved when Ron returned, although he was a bit apprehensive about Ron's reaction when finding that Hermione was no longer a virgin.

Ron didn't complain. Harry wasn't sure that Ron even noticed. Ron was just thankful for being accepted back by Hermione and having sex with her was more than a dream come true for him. Harry was glad that they were finally together and Hermione looked calmer. She secretly told him that "Ron and I are a much better match, although yours is bigger".

Somehow, Harry was sure she would tell Ron the same.

The newly reunited couple didn't have much time to enjoy each other before they were all captured and brought to Malfoy Manor.

Escaping was tough, but they also managed to rescue a few more prisoners. Harry was especially glad of rescuing Luna, since she seemed to have suffered most.

While Hermione needed healing from what she had suffered from Belatrix for a few hours, Luna had been captive for a few months. Harry couldn't even imagine what she had been through, yet Luna seemed to develop a special affection towards him. "Please stay with me," she used to say whenever she was awake.

This wasn't really a problem, as Hermione and Ron seemed to need quite a lot of "alone time". Harry had to learn some sound proofing spells, as none of the two seemed to pay attention to the noise they were making, that could be heard near the room they were using, and not only near it.

Luna was glad to help him learn that spell, along with another handy spell for removing one's clothes all at once. She demonstrated on herself and then on Harry and then came closer to Harry. So close that she could feel his body reacting to her nudity.

"You know, I used to be a virgin before they captured me," she told him. "Then, they wanted some fun with me. I was sure I was going to die, so I thought that if I could experience some sex before I died, it could be nice."

Harry wasn't sure what to say.

"It wasn't. Fun, I mean. They hurt me and made me suffer and I couldn't even imagine why a girl would want sex, if that's what sex is about. Yet I know it should be nice and fun. Can you teach me that?"

Harry found it very difficult to refuse, as her small tits were pressed onto his chest and his erection was rubbing the blond triangle of hair above her feminine entrance with no clothes to protect either of them.

"Are you sure you want to have sex with me?" he asked, quite bewildered.

"No. I want you to make love to me. That's more than just sex, I believe, and I'm sure you can do it for me. I trust you." Her voice was dreamy, as if she didn't really know what she was saying, but her hands reached his, directing them to her body as she dragged him to bed.

It was very different than being with Hermione. He wasn't expected to rush it or to plunge in. He was actually expected to make love to her slowly and tenderly, just the way he liked it. They only had one shag that day, but it lasted for hours. There were a few problems, though. Every time he touched a new area for the first time, Luna froze for a moment, before his tender caresses relaxed her again. It took him more than an hour to make her fully relaxed at his touch, although he enjoyed every moment of it. She froze once again when he entered, her internal muscles tightening around him almost to the point of pain. He needed to caress and kiss some more before he could move again.

Yet Luna loved it. She reached her peak twice, moaning incoherently as her orgasm engulfed her whole body, shattering all her inhibitions and making her scream his name. She finally relaxed into his embrace. "It was wonderful, Harry. I would have never wanted any sex if it was all like what they did to me at the Malfoy's, but this was completely different. I'd love to experience it more."

"It was also wonderful for me. I should thank you just the same," Harry said sincerely, his hand still caressing her face.

"We can do it now, if you want..." she said suggestively.

"I think we should let our bodies recuperate a bit and maybe get something to eat first."

"Fine. First we eat, then we shag! I like it!"

The time spent at Shell Cottage was made very pleasant by Luna's presence. Whenever Ron and Hermione left them for some private time, Harry and Luna would have private time of their own. Luna opened her heart to him, telling Harry about her childhood, about the mother she had lost and about her captivity, just as Harry was telling her bits and pieces of his life that he had never told anybody. Still, as the time for action approached, he dreaded the effect it would have on Luna.

The girl proved to be much more resilient than she looked. She took part in the final battle, helping achieve the victory and getting out of it unharmed. Luna knew he had other commitments and didn't seem to mind as long as he was there for her when she needed him.

Ginny also fought valiantly, yet the loss of Fred hit her hard, just as it did to most of her family. Ginny was hoping to resume her relationship with Harry from the place they had left before he went for the Horcrux hunt. She didn't think that the eventful year since then had changed both her and Harry, that they were no longer the same people who had parted a year earlier.

Harry only wanted to rest after the battle. He managed to reach the dorms and fell into the first bed he could find. He woke up with a naked redhead in his bed. Ginny was unwilling to wait any longer, yet Harry wasn't sure. He had not had sex with Ginny before, and not because she hadn't wanted to. Ginny had been very eager, yet Harry had felt it wouldn't be right. She was his friend's little sister and she was almost like his own sister. It wasn't right to shag her. Besides, he had already known that she had slept with quite a few boys. Her first had been when she was about thirteen and she had at least two more each year. Harry couldn't say he felt honored to join the club.

Still, with a naked girl caressing his body, he was only able to cast the contraceptive spell, silently thanking Hermione for teaching it to him, before his mind went numb as his body started acting on its own. It was fueled by all the adrenalin of the fight and was as tender as a war. Harry shagged Ginny with vigor, hard and fast, just the way she seemed to like it, filling her womb with his sperm three times, before collapsing on her and falling promptly asleep.

He was alone in bed when he woke up next. He called Kreacher, who brought him some clean clothes and some food. A shower and a meal later, he was ready to face others.

The following days were full of sadness and sorrow, as the dead were buried and the wounded treated. Eventually he joined the Weasley family as it returned to the Burrow, after burying Fred. The vivacious family now looked like a ghost of itself. Harry and Hermione, who joined them along with Luna, tried their best to help revive the family which they saw almost as their own. Hermione was helping Ron, mainly by sharing his bed. Harry didn't think it was right to help Ginny that way, and Ginny didn't seem to expect it. She didn't even protest when Hermione decided to only go with Harry to fetch her parents from Australia.

Harry would remember that trip as one of the best times in his life. Hermione didn't bother to have separate rooms and also considered his help worth rewarding. She rewarded him by shagging him as much as they could. Harry was reluctant at first. "I'm already pregnant by Ron," she told him, "so we can shag freely with no fear of consequences."

"Won't it offend Ron?"

She smiled. "I've made it clear from the beginning that you will always be my first choice, so he should never repeat what he did in the tent. He said he knew it since first year, when you were willing to jump on a mountain troll for me and I was willing to lie for you."

Ginny also wanted to shag him as soon as he came back. "I've missed you so much!" she said, yet he found Dean's boxers under her pillow.

With her parents back home, Hermione's next mission was to get married before her pregnancy showed too much. Luckily, witches' robes, even the most elegant, could hide it quite well. Harry helped her and Ron make the preparations, and she thanked him for his help in the usual way at least once a week. Harry really liked it. He had always acted naturally with her, and now that Ron was supplying the rough side, he could be as tender with her as he wanted, and she still liked it. Ginny, he was sure, wouldn't like it, had she known about their special moments (or hours).

Eventually, it didn't matter. Ginny got tired of waiting, tired of his excuses for not having sex with her, and decided to graze greener pastures. Dean was still in love with her and was quite willing and able to sate her desires. Molly seemed a bit upset at seeing Ginny give up on Harry, but Harry was actually relieved.

Luna was also eager to spend as much time with him as possible, in or out of bed, whenever Hermione wasn't available, or when he needed some more cuddling than he could get with Hermione.

Harry served as Ron's best man during the wedding ceremony and Luna was Hermione's maid of honor. Soon after the wedding, when the newly wed retired to their room, Luna joined Harry in his and stayed overnight, both enjoying every moment.

"Are you going to Hogwarts in September?"

That question was asked over and over again by almost everybody around. Harry wasn't sure. He was offered a job at the Ministry as an auror, with a nice salary, good incentives and a high rank, as appropriate for "The Man Who Conquered", yet he didn't feel inclined to go on chasing bad wizards and witches for the rest of his life. While this career had looked promising two years earlier, when he had no clue how long he would need to fight Voldemort, it was now almost appalling. Returning to school had the merit of postponing his decisions for his future by another year, besides some other.

Hermione had no doubts at all. She was also offered a good job at the Ministry, yet her education came first in her mind. Ron was not even asked. Everybody knew he would do whatever pleased his pregnant wife.

Once this was decided, there was the next question: "Will you take the Hogwarts Express?" This question was directed mainly at Harry. Most others would take the train, that was a common knowledge, yet Harry was, and to a lesser extent both Ron and Hermione were, the hero of the war. His presence on the train could be very meaningful to most parents, yet he was the one who would be stared at and asked for autographs during the ride. Harry really contemplated just Flooing into Hogwarts, or maybe just Hogsmeade, if only to escape undue public attention.

Still, being a hero has its price. "You can't just leave us alone on the train. Everybody will expect to see you there and we would have to explain your absence," Hermione told him.

Harry couldn't refuse her any more than Ron could. Besides, once she got into that mood she was really intimidating and her pregnancy made it even more so.

"I'll come with you on the train, but if it becomes too much to bear, I'll just apparate to Hogsmeade," he consented.

"You haven't got your apparition license yet!" Hermione was alarmed. Despite her experience with the Ministry, she was still very serious about the law.

"I've got it while you were on your honeymoon, as did Ginny and Luna." Harry smirked. That was a piece of information Hermione didn't know yet, and he knew how much she liked knowing everything.

"Well, then..." she huffed.
