As this is the first entry I feel I should say a few things:
adult rating: M or NC-17
Summary: Dana Saxon has always been a male magnet, men just like her. She has only ever loved two men, both of whom love her, in a different way. This is the story.
Not mine, don't sue, I've no money anyway.
Mist clung low, almost touching the cool ground. The day had started sunny and bright, now the hopes of Grimmauld's Place's residents had been dashed as clouds begun to form.
"Well bugger that anyway," was the articulation of one Sirius Black, "So much for your shopping time anyway, eh Remus?"
Remus Lupin was reclined on the only comfortable armchair in the living room. He glanced at Sirius when he heard his name, "Yes, well, I wasn't really that enthusiastic about the prospect in the first place. However, someone needs to restocks this house's rapidly diminishing food supplies."
"It's called 'fire-calling' for a reason, Remus."
"Oh, shut up."
"My, my, it would seem that Lupin has not had a great night, or morning," came the sexy drawlings of one Severus Snape. Some very colourful language erupted from Sirius at this statement. The fourth occupant of the room watched this display in amusement. She was a tall, blond, young woman of 20, with piercing blue eyes and an elegantly beautiful face. There was something almost ethereal about her. She had a grace and wisdom which few rarely, if ever, possess. Her name is Dana Saxon. She attracts many suitors, probably because of her wealth, it would make a Malfoy feel like a pauper, and she is completely entranced with Remus J. Lupin. Ms. Saxon is an extremely famous woman in both the Wizarding and Muggle worlds. She is extremely bright and talented, thus ensuring she is loved and admired by all. She is a very mysterious woman and though everyone knows her name, very little is known about the woman herself.
"MUDBLOODS, SCUM, FILTH OF THE EARTH! HOW DARE YOU ENTER MY HOUSE?!"
The commotion between Black and Snape had woken Mrs. Black once more. Knowing all eyes turned to follow her movements, Dana stood and went to the portrait. Upon seeing her, Mrs. Black immediately quietened. She nodded at Dana once, and Dana returned to her seat.
"How do you do that? You must teach us"
"It's all in the eyes, Remus. She seems to like me."
"NO! She respects you!!" Black surmised.
Dana shrugged, picked up a book and headed for the kitchen. Three pairs of eyes followed her, one with shock, one with surprise and admiration, and the final pair with something akin to love...
"Just tell her, Remus." pleaded the tones of Sirius Black. "You'll never know if you don't tell her, and you'll always wonder and regret it."
"I can't, Padfoot."
"But.."
"NO, Black!"Sirius knew Remus meant business when he referred to people by their surname only.
"Your loss," he grumbled.
'Maybe I should tell her. No, she's too beautiful and smart, and whole, to ever lower herself to caring about an old werewolf like me. Okay this is depressing, moving on...'
"Where did Remus go?"
"Oh, hey Dana. He's gone food shopping, hates the floo, crazy Moony."
Dana chuckled at Sirius, who gave her a wink in return.
"You know, if I was a few years younger, and a free man, I'd marry you so fast your head would spin."
"Is that a fact, Sirius? Keep dreaming, honey."
"You know you love me."
"Yeah, sure she does Padfoot."
The pair jumped, startled at the voice. Remus smiled at Dana and smirked at Sirius,"Loves you like a cold, Sirius."
"No, no, Remus. He's right. I do love him."
Silence followed this statement, then Remus saw Dana's raised eyebrow and chuckled. Sirius glared at the pair and left the room.
"Poor Padfoot. Never did have any luck with the pretty ones."
"Did you just call me pretty, Remus?"
"Er..." Remus was saved replying by the entrance of Snape and Dumbledore, the order were arriving...
Dumbledore's eyes swept the room, taking in the order's members one by one. He noticed that Severus had taken a seat by Dana, rather than alone in a corner as he usually would.
'Interesting.' Dumbledore knew, of course, that Dana and Remus harboured 'secret' feelings for one another...but Severus, well...Severus never was one for people, other than Lily. 'This could get problematic, I must watch this development carefully. Love is everything, but pain is eternal.'
"Settle down, please. Now, as we all know..."
Severus Snape was never a sentimental man, choosing to bottle not just painful memories but all feelings too. However, something about Dana had set his heart beating once more, beating with a purpose. He knew that Remus and Dana were very fond of each other, but he also knew that one should not take what one is given, but fight for what one wants... 'Would it be enough for her? Or will she leave altogether?...'
A/N: Dana Saxon destroyed Voldemort when she was 13, after he threatened her friend, Albus Dumbledore. 15 years later, he returned. He not only fears Dumbledore, but Dana too. The look in her eyes that night had haunted him for years, and would continue to haunt him forever. (Watch for flashbacks). At this time Harry Potter was 1, Lily, James, Sirius, Severus and Remus were 20, making them 35 now. Dana is now 20. (She ages 7 years for every 15 that pass, or thereabouts, it's not a definite thing). Once she reaches the age of 21, she will no longer age, she will forever be frozen as a young immortal beauty.
