[Fic] "Geometry" -- Harry Potter

edenfallingWell. I was going to post part of my NaNo thing, but apparently something's screwy about my floppy disk -- that or this particular lab computer just doesn't like me. (I've had both happen in the past.)
Maybe tomorrow.
Instead, we have spur-of-the-moment Harry Potter trio-fic. Which was written because Luna Lovegood is hard to write, I was thinking about angles, and I read a really good threesome fic yesterday.
[ETA: The heavily revised final version is now up on AO3! Please go read that instead.]
-----------------------------------
Geometry
-----------------------------------
The trick, Hermione thinks, is twisting her brain to see the world from 90 degrees off normal. Or perhaps 73, or 97 -- some peculiar angle, at any rate.
She'd be hideously embarrassed that Luna gave her the idea, if she weren't so pleased with the results.
"You have them both," Luna had said one day. "Why can't you give Ron to me? Either that or admit you have them both so we're not all waiting for things to drop."
Hermione had gaped, then sniffed and withdrawn, clutching her mangled assumptions and dignity around herself like an extra robe. She had them? Romantically? Her?
She didn't even want them!
And yet... the thought of anyone else sitting next to Harry or Ron, pushing them to act right, hugging them, getting one of Ron's easy grins (with the special twinkle in his eye) or Harry's rare, genuine smiles, or maybe even daring to kiss them on the cheek...
Hermione firmly tamped down an irrational surge of possessive anger.
Maybe they were hers, after all.
And now they are; they sit, the three of them, squashed together on a sofa in the common room, arms casually thrown over shoulders and thighs touching. Perfectly innocent, perfectly ordinary for three best friends. But they know what it really means: they belong to each other and nobody else can break in.
Maybe 90 degrees to normal is right, 30 times three, each providing one third of the way to this new pattern. Luna might see it that way, Hermione thinks, but she doesn't really care. Because Luna can't take Ron away from her or from Harry, and not even Voldemort can rip Harry out of their circle.
He still thinks normally, after all.
And they don't. Not anymore.
