I had been honestly thinking of putting Hermione in from the beginning but I was unsure how well that would go over. I never really thought about why Harry and Draco were friends. I know why now.
Once again, I don't own Harry or anyone else. I'm just a teenager who writes by the seat of her pants. Go me.
Chapter Six: Testing
Harry and Draco watched Ron and Rikai kiss. Draco smirked slightly before lying back in the bed. Harry looked down at Draco and frowned.
"What's so funny?"
"Well, it's kind of turns me on to see two girls kissing but there is the fact that Ron's going to be too busy with Rikai to worry about me and 'Mione." He said smiling up at the black haired beauty, the once Great Harry Potter now known as Tsuchi. The raven-haired boy shook his head as he stared at Draco.
"When did you and Hermione start going out?"
"I'd rather not say." A blush crossing his face in the process. Harry smiled knowingly, Draco glared up at the black-haired beauty. "What?"
"She made the first move huh?" Draco's blush grew a shade of red that rivaled Ron's hair. He looked appalled at the accusation.
"Did not." Harry laughed at the lie. They both grew silent and listened to the hush that permeated the air. The raven-haired boy decided to break the stillness.
"How did we ever become friends?"
"Well, I was drunk when it happened." Draco admitted. Harry rolled his eyes.
"I hope so. You came out of that bar a bit shit faced accompanied by some unscrupulous characters. You're lucky that I managed to steal you away from them."
"My ass is indebted to you Potter. If you ever decide to swing that way then I'm sure that I could let you have a free romp." Harry, noticing his chance to have some fun with his friend, rested his body on top of the blond mister's. "What the hell?"
"Draco, I might take you up on that if you promise to look like this." Harry replied running his long fingers through Draco's snow-white hair. The blond pushed Harry off of him and laughed nervously.
"You're a sick shit Potter." There was extreme embarrassment dripping from Draco's voice. Harry laughed and lied back down next to Draco. The blond boy trapped in a beauty's body gently inched away from Harry. Harry noticed and hugged the extra blankets around him. He had managed to trick Draco into relinquishing the sheets. Go him.
Ron woke up to an empty bed the next morning. Rikai was nowhere to be seen. The red head looked over to Harry and Draco's bed. They were both still sleeping. Ron climbed out of the bed and walked over to Harry. He sat down next to the boy who lived and gently roused him. Harry stared up at his best friend.
"Ron, you look lovely this morning." Harry said with a cheerful smile. Ron raised an eyebrow at Harry's unusual morning perkiness.
"Harry, do you know where Rikai went?"
"Is she working on the portal thingy?" Harry asked as he opened his mouth and yawned. Ron stared at his friend's beautiful feminine features but shook the thought from his mind.
"Maybe. Get Draco up. If she is working on it we should help her." With that Ron left to find the princess. Ron, Harry, and Draco sat waiting for Rikai in the room that hosted the, as Harry so eloquently put it, portal thingy. She had a giant smile on her face as she ran in.
"Ron I found someone who could take the baby for you. You'll love her Ron!" Rikai said wrapping her arms around his neck. Ron was slightly taken aback with the information.
"Well, I kind of wanted to keep it. You know maybe have it here and take it with me." Ron whispered to the girl. She smiled as she continued to hug him.
"Ron, no man should experience the pain of birth. You can trust this girl. Well, I got some extra information on it. Here." She said pulling away and handing Ron some packets. He stared at them for a moment. He could tell that she was hiding something from him. He frowned at her.
"Who did you find?" Ron asked. Harry and Draco looked to Rikai. Neither of them had said anything since she had entered. They weren't about to now, even though they were curious as to who would be willing to take a child, bear it, raise it, but never partake in the 'fun part'. Harry knew this did happen but Draco had never heard of such a thing. Whoever would do it had to be crazy.
"Don't worry your pretty little head about it Ron." Rikai said. They could all hear her hesitation and the tension in her voice. She was afraid of something.
"Rikai-"
"Let's get started on this portal do-hickey." Harry interrupted Ron before the conversation could be pressed farther.
"Yes, let's!" Draco broke in as Ron opened his mouth to argue. Rikai smiled and they all looked at the giant mirror. If the three hadn't known better they would have thought it to be a very expensive mirror, nothing more. The mirror/portal was six feet tall three feet wide with a gold frame and intricate designs carved into the gold. Harry touched the glass but found it to be very solid and not at all like the portals he had seen on TV. Draco found himself trying to fix his extremely long hair. He stopped himself shortly after everyone had seen him pruning.
"You'd think a princess was self-absorbed." Rikai stated as she pulled out a tiny plastic square. It looked somewhat like a cell phone but it didn't have nearly as many buttons. Harry stared at the plastic rectangle and smiled.
"Cell phone." He commented lightly. Rikai, Ron, and Draco looked up at him.
"Cell what?" They asked in unison. Harry sighed and waved his hand as if to say never mind. "Ok." Rikai said as she started punching in some of the buttons. "I know which ones will open the portal but only from the other side. We don't want to do that. So we'll just have to keep putting in combinations until we get the right one."
"That could take months." Ron blurted. Rikai sighed sadly.
"Well, isn't there something else we could do?" Harry asked. He looked to Draco. Draco smiled forlornly.
"If my 'Mione was here she could-"
"What did you say Draco?" Ron interrupted. Draco looked very angry with himself. Ron was more than slightly peeved. Harry stood between his two friends.
"Ron calm down." Harry stated firmly.
"What does he mean? Harry?" Ron said turning his anguished gaze to his best friend. Harry stared Ron in the eyes Ron gasped. "You knew!" He hollered. "They're together and nobody bothered to tell me!" Rikai watched with quiet trepidation as Ron threw a fit about Draco stealing Hermione. She was embarrassed and left the room before Harry finally knocked some sense into him.
"Ron! What about Rikai?"
"What about her?" Ron asked as he shot another dirty look at the pretty blond. Harry made Ron look at him.
"Draco and I saw you two kissing last night." Ron snorted.
"She only kissed me to test me. She was trying to see what my spirit something or other level was. She didn't kiss me because she liked me."
"Do the booklets talk about the testing? Does it say anything about kissing?" Draco asked. Ron looked through the packets. He shook his head no. "So, she kissed you and told you she was testing you. She kissed when she didn't have to. She kissed you because she likes you." Ron turned to look at Rikai but she was gone. Before Harry and Draco could stop him he took off.
"Draco, that was nice of you to tell him."
"I hate dumb people. Why do I always have to spell it out for them?"
"Rikai!" Ron called. The girl stood in her room and looked over at Ron. She was surprised to see him. He stepped over to her and stared into her bright blue eyes. He saw a blush run across her face. Ron cupped her chin in his hand and kissed her. Rikai was shocked at the forwardness but fell into his arms.
"What about Hermione?" She asked as she pulled away. Ron wrapped his arms around the princess.
"Who?" Ron asked. Rikai smiled at him.
"Ron, I want to bear your child." Ron smiled and hugged her close to him.
YAY! Ok, so Rikai loves Ron and vice versa! How will they go about transferring the baby to Rikai and will I be willing to write a very descriptive portrayal of the process? We'll never know, um......... actually you will know in the next chapter huh? Heh heh heh. Bye!
