Elsa checked the board in front of the big house on their way for breakfast.
"They're offering horse riding today and kayaking tomorrow. Would you like to join one of these activities?" she asked Harry.
He didn't know what to say. "I've never tried either. I'm not sure..."
"Do come, please! Horse riding is fun! I've tried it last year," Elsa urged him.
"And I want to go kayaking with you," Zoe added, glaring at Elsa. "You shouldn't monopolize the only boy our age, you know."
"Do I have any say in this?" Harry asked ironically.
"No!" all four girls said as one. It was quite funny, in a way, yet it didn't really amuse him. He somewhat accepted Elsa's bossiness, since she reminded him of Hermione, making him feel much closer to her. He wasn't sure about the other three, as they hadn't initially shown that much interest in him. He wondered if it was just a kind of competition between girls. How could he know? He then let his Slytherin side surface. 'I can enjoy whatever each offers. I don't yet need to limit myself to only one.' That thought was really comforting, making him more eager to agree with whatever the girls had in mind.
He actually started feeling attracted to girls, which he found weird. None of his classmates was interested in girls, nor were most of the second-year boys, as far as he could tell. Even the book that Elsa made him read stated that this kind of attraction usually started about a year later. He didn't mind, though. Girls looked and acted nicer than boys, and he really liked looking at them when they were almost naked. He still didn't know where that would lead to.
He joined Elsa for the horse riding and found it quite nice, although not as much fun as broom riding. They had to pair for the riding, and Elsa grabbed his hand even before they were told to pair. Elsa pressed herself tightly to Harry while riding and he found it very pleasing. As they rode leisurely at the end of their session, he asked, "Do you mind that the other girls want some attention too?"
Elsa sighed. "I wish I didn't have to share, but you really are the only boy our age, and none of the older boys seems as nice. At least you're only mine at night."
He wasn't sure what to say about that, so he just nodded, although he did find it nice to cuddle with her at night. Staying naked was also nice. He felt like there would be more to come. He only had a vague idea of what it could be but he didn't feel any need to rush it.
The next morning, Zoe grabbed his hand as they were leaving the dining hall, making her claim clear. Elsa didn't even join that activity, yet Harry enjoyed it very much. It was fun getting wet in the hot weather of that day and Zoe seemed to have some experience at kayaking, which also helped. In a way, it was more fun than just splashing each other with cold water, and kayaking through the stream that rushed to the lake was entertaining all by itself, although somewhat tiring.
"Are you and Elsa shagging?" Zoe asked him while paddling back to shore.
He was so surprised that he just splashed some more water on both of them instead of paddling correctly. "We're not! Why do you even ask?"
She shrugged. "It's evident that you are ready for this, at least physically. If she's staying naked with you the way she used to be in our cabin, then things may happen. Besides, she said she was going to make you her mate. 'I feel we are destined for each other,' she said. What rubbish!"
"It may be rubbish, but she's a very nice girl and she helped me a lot. I honour her and wouldn't do anything that might offend or hurt her. Besides, none of us seems ready for that yet."
She looked straight into his eyes. "Would you shag me if I asked you?"
Harry felt as if hot and cold waves were washing over him. There was no right answer here. If he said no, she would think that he didn't want her or that he found her lacking; if he said yes, she would think he considered her cheap. He tried his best to be inoffensive. "I don't feel I'm ready now, even if you may be ready. I believe I will eagerly accept your offer when I'm ready if it will still stand."
She shrugged. "I'm no longer a virgin. I've tried it a few times already, although none was very pleasing. After getting to know you, I think it may turn out better with you. If you find that you're ready before the camp ends, just tell me."
He was glad that she was not offended, yet he had to immediately think of something else since his body reacted improperly once again. Luckily, she couldn't see it from where she was sitting.
Zoe talked some more. "I think Anna may make you a similar offer. She's even better endowed than I am. Beth is still too childish both physically and mentally to do anything. She's almost a year younger than me – I'll be thirteen in three months while she only had her twelfth birthday a few days ago. She still may want to be intimate with you, just so she won't be left behind."
"I'll give them the same answer I've given to you. Besides, aren't girls usually interested in older boys?"
"Usually, but none of those present is nice enough for me to consider. I know them all from school or from previous camps." They were already reaching the shore. "Just remember my offer. I'm ready whenever you are."
She bent low when lifting the kayak from the water, giving him an ample view of her breasts, which were quite nice. He forced himself to think of Dudley's breasts which were almost as big due to his fat. At least his body behaved.
He found Elsa reading in the cabin when he returned. "Why didn't you join the kayaking too? It was fun!"
She smiled at him. "Was it kayaking or Zoe that gave you more fun?"
"Kayaking, certainly!" He knew that Zoe was nice and that he might eventually accept her offer, but at the moment, kayaking was better. "So, why didn't you come? You could pair with somebody else and still enjoy it."
She shook her head sadly. "No, Harry. The kind of magic I inherited from my mother doesn't react well to water. I can take a shower, as you've seen; I can even take a bath if I don't stay in it for too long, but if I forget myself in the water, I may feel sick and powerless. Water is not safe for me."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know," Harry said, sitting down on her bedside.
"There's still a lot you don't know about me. I want to tell you everything, but I'm not sure that even I know all that I need to know." She looked gloomy for a moment and then she brightened. "My parents are coming to visit me this weekend. I've told them about you and they would really like to meet you, mainly because I'm interested in you. Don't expect them to tell you much, though, as we're in a mainly muggle area."
He wasn't sure he wanted to meet her parents. What would he say? 'Hi, I'm the boy your daughter stays naked with, the one she cuddles at night with?' This didn't sound like something her parents would like to hear. He was sure that if ever he had a daughter, he wouldn't want to hear that – ever.
"Don't worry," she added. They already know about us and they approve." This only made him more worried.
Harry also had something else nagging in his mind. "Most of the boys at my age are not interested in girls, not even boys a bit older than me. Why am I suddenly interested?"
Else smiled teasingly. "Maybe because I stay naked?" She then turned serious. "Dad told me that magical people reach puberty earlier. The more powerful one is, magically speaking, the earlier they show interest in the other gender. Girls my age are also not interested in boys, in most cases. You can see how Beth is acting. Zoe and Anna are older. Dad told me I'm quite powerful, so he expects me to reach puberty earlier than my older sisters did. You are probably also very powerful. That may be the reason."
Harry didn't think he was that powerful. He usually struggled with new spells or charms, unlike Hermione, who usually succeeded on the first try. Still, he wasn't going to argue about this. If Elsa thought that he was powerful, let her think so.

As expected, both Anna and Beth also wanted their share of Harry.
"I've heard that you consider learning to play basketball," Anna said. "I've been playing basketball since I was seven. Would you like me to train you?"
She was clearly looking for some alone time with him, Harry thought. He couldn't refuse without hurting her feelings. "Sure! That beats trying to learn from books and I don't feel comfortable asking the sports instructor at the moment. Maybe after I learn a bit more..."
Anna took him to practice at the basketball terrain. He was quite sure that she didn't wear a bra as her tits bounced at every movement. She also taught him how to play, staying behind him and moving his hands, while pressing her front to his back. It didn't help him concentrate on her explanations, but she didn't seem to mind. He certainly didn't complain. He actually enjoyed the feeling very much. Almost as much as cuddling with Elsa.
"I'm no good at sports," Beth told him, "but I'd like to go on a picnic with you."
"That sounds like fun," he agreed.
Beth took care of the preparations, as he knew nothing about picnics. She took some sandwiches from the kitchen and found a small basket and a flowery cloth to spread on the ground. She also wore a nice skirt and a flowery shirt to fit the mood. They walked into the surrounding wood, not really deep, and she cuddled at his side, directing his hand to her belly. Harry found her skin to be soft like velvet and could honestly compliment her, but he felt no attraction to her at all. It was still very pleasant to spend some time with her, talk with her and cuddle together.
Despite giving some attention to the other three, he stayed mostly with Elsa. They took the morning exercises together, they visited the library together, they participated in quite a few organized activities together and they even showered once more together, with no embarrassing incidents, for a change.
Still, Harry wasn't sure if he could really divide his attention fairly between the girls. He wasn't even sure that he wanted to. He liked them all, but Elsa was special to him. It could be because she was magical, he suspected, yet he didn't believe it was the real cause or even the main one. As much as he enjoyed talking with the other girls, talking with Elsa was making him more relaxed, feeling fresher and light-hearted, even when they talked about serious matters.
He was sure that it wasn't her nudity either. He had already seen the other girls with only skimpy bikini bottoms on, and two of them were physically more attractive, there was no doubt of it, yet he felt nothing for them, except for some mild interest.
His thoughts wandered to Hermione almost daily. He didn't know if he could keep both friendships, especially since he'd heard that girls tended to be quite possessive of their male friends. He wanted Hermione to always be his closest friend, as she had become during the school term. He wanted Elsa to stay just as good a friend once the summer camp was over. He thought the two girls were similar enough for him to be comfortable with either, yet he wanted them both. He didn't understand what his feelings meant.
