"Hi!" Wendy blurted out in her a-little-too-enthusiastic way.Neil made it a point to grab a separate chair rather than join them in the booth. As if t... add more safe space distance, he turned the wooden chair backwards so the back of it was between him and their table.The evening progressed a little too quickly from this point. The drinks were flowing from no one knew where and "Jim"/Neil was really having his ego thoroughly stroked by these two beauties.He found himself reluctantly admitting. "Although Jennlynn and Cowboy were awful cool, it wasn't the best group I'd ever had on the river. There were a couple guys who were on vacation from their wives and liked to talk a lot of trash, and there was a husband and a wife who had to try to pick a fight with everyone else when they weren't fighting with each other. So, we get down here and we're sitting around the fire like we are now, and one of the mouthy guys made some tough-guy-sounding remark about the legal cathouses over in. “I… I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to think that I’m some kind of nancy-boy or something. I mean, I’m not a ponce. It was just something I wanted to try, a new form of sexual gratification if you will.”Ginny gave him a long look, and then shook her head with an ironic chuckle. “Seriously, Harry. You were worried I was going to think you were a poof?”“Well, yeah. I mean, Ron and Hermione both asked me if I was playing for the other team. Hermione’s the most non-judgmental. The child was to be brought to the castle for nurturing while the mother was to remain in isolation in exile.It was left unsaid, but very clearly insinuated that the former Princess would never be returning again to this castle. Her fate determined, a pair of guards came to take her and all too soon she was gone, and without ever looking once at her parents or uttering a word in either her own defense or final bravado and scorn.Goodbye and good riddance.After the sentence was passed, great.
