*Hey just a little warning, there is a discussion of a mature theme in this chapter. Nothing extreme or incredibly detailed, just mature. I would also like to bring attention to JK Rowling, the goddess who wrote the Harry Potter franchise. She owns everything, I am just playing around in her magical world.*
**Just because I know people ignore long author's notes, let me reiterate this WARNING, this chapter discusses sex. If you're uncomfortable with sex, please skip the second half of this chapter.**
This was Hermione’s last counseling session with Luna before the holidays. Luna had decorated her office with ged and green garland and enchanted candles to float around the already cozy space, giving it a more homey feel. Hermione was excited to finally sit and catch up with her extravagant friend over lunch before Christmas because she was extremely nervous about the upcoming events.
“How have you been Luna? Any exciting news…” Hermione asked.
Luna gave her friend a bright smile, “I’ve been alright. Rolf and I are going on holiday to the maldives for Christmas so that’s exciting.”
“Any more news?”
Luna sighed, “I’m not pregnant if that’s what you’re asking.”
Luna and Rolf Scamander had been trying for a baby for over six months and sadly there was no bun in Luna’s oven. The couple desperately wanted a child but they knew these things took time. They were patient and they knew that in due time they would be blessed with a little bundle of joy.
“I’m sorry Luna, I didn’t mean to pry,” Hermione apologized.
“That’s quite alright Hermione. You’re my friend, and I would have told you outside of a professional environment,” Luna said with a graceful smile, “Now enough about me, how are things with Draco? Any progress?”
“I invited him to Christmas dinner with my family.”
“Has Draco ever met your parents?”
Hermione shook her head, “Nope. They don’t even know about the law. I just told them I was seeing someone and that I wanted to bring someone to dinner. They don’t even know his name.”
Hermione was never one to lie to her parents, she was just a firm believer in what they didn’t know couldn’t hurt them. She may have taken this belief to an extreme during the war but she was just trying to protect them. Now, she was trying to protect their image of Draco. Hermione was falling for the blonde headed prat and she didn’t want her family to disapprove of the relationship because it was arranged.
Luna gave Hermione a disapproving look, “You should tell them about the law. They’re your parents, Hermione. They deserve to know.”
“I’ll tell them,” Hermione hesitated, “After I pop out a couple of grandchildren for them to fawn over.”
“Have you made any progress with the popping out grandchildren part?”
Hermione sighed, “No, we haven’t done it yet. I don’t want to rush things with Draco.”
Luna gave Hermione a knowing gaze, “That sounds like an excuse.”
“It’s not an excuse, we just haven’t talked about that yet and I don’t know if he’s ready to take that step.”
Luna rolled her eyes, “Can you say the word sex?”
“Of course I can,” Hermione said.
“Then say it,” Luna challenged.
“No,” Hermione said firmly.
“Why?”
“I don’t know,” Hermione lied. She didn’t want to say the word because it’s not a topic someone just casually talked about. Discussing it outside of an intimate relationship made Hermione uncomfortable. She grew up in an open house hold and her parents would openly answer any questions she had about the topic but they emphasized that it was a topic between two people that wanted to do it with each other.
“So you’re a prude when it comes to sex,” Luna lightly accused.
“I’m not a prude,” Hermione said.
“Then say it.”
“Sex, sex, sex, sexy sex. There, are you happy Luna? I said sex,” Hermione blushed.
“Very good,” Luna beamed, “Now why was it so hard for you to say sex?”
“It wasn’t hard to say the word sex, it’s just weird talking about sex with someone I’m not planning to shag. It’s a bit odd talking about shagging Draco when I haven’t shagged Draco,” Hermione rambled.
Luna raised a questioning eyebrow, “Do you want to shag Draco?”
Hermione nodded, “Yes but I don’t know if Draco wants shag me.”
“Have you asked him?”
“No. Plus, with the law contraceptive charms are banned and we are not ready for children.”
Luna sighed, “You know muggle condoms are allowed, right? It was under the contraceptives section as a loophole for couples to ‘test the waters’.” Luna walked over to her desk, took out a discreet looking black box ties shut with a satin ribbon and handed them to Hermione.
Hermione gulped, “I’m sure those are unnecessary.”
“I’m giving you a little homework assignment over the holiday,” Luna said, “Talk to Draco about sex and what it means to each of you.” The clock chimed one pm and Hermione rose to exit her appointment but Luna stopped her, “I'm not suggesting you go out and shag Draco, just have a conversation. But, just a tip, if you two decide to have sex, Draco really likes lingerie. Not anything that’s too over the top but he appreciates lace.”
Hermione blushed again, waved goodbye to Luna and rushed out of her office before the blonde could give her anymore helpful 'tips'.
