Disclaimer: I still don't own Harry Potter

After Christmas, I walked into the train and ran to our compartment, it really had become our compartment, nobody else ever sat in it. It was like this unspoken rule that even first years knew.

Anyway I ran to the compartment and, who else would I find there but my favorite boy in the world. I walked in and looked at him. I didn't even say a word before, taking the book he was reading out of his hands, and pulling him out of his seat. I threw him against the wall, with strength I didn't even know I had, and pressed my lips onto his.

When I finally let go of him about two minutes later (surprisingly the others hadn't shown up yet), he choked out a very happy, and surprised "Was there any specific reason for that?"

"Nope, I just missed you so much over the break, that I couldn't help myself." I panted, laying my head against his chest, to hear his heartbeat.

"Well, that can be fixed very easily." He replied grinning. Then he pulled me towards him, a bit further, and pressed his mouth back to mine without another word.

"Mmm." I said softly into his mouth and he snuck his tongue into mine, he tasted strangely like peppermint, and maybe chocolate.

He chuckled in response and moved his tongue along the roof of my mouth. It made a shiver go down my spine and he pulled me closer again, turning around to push me against the wall in his place.

Just then the walls of the compartment started to shake, causing the windows to rattle. He immediately broke apart from my mouth and said quietly, "Breathe, baby, breathe. Come here." And he pushed my head down onto his chest, where his heart was beating fast in his chest. The sound calmed me and soon the windows stopped shaking, leaving me shivering slightly against him.

"Sorry I can't help it, I go crazy around you".I whispered as he sat down and pulled me into his lap, running circles on my back with his hands.

I know, it's okay, you just need to calm down." He said kissing my forehead. "You never do it on purpose, well I guess we just have to be careful, so you don't get too excited."

I hugged him tightly in response and he lay his hands on my back, contentedly, just as the others walked in.

"Oi, get a room." Natalie said, before sitting next us, and Jayden nodded in agreement, sitting next to her.

We just decided to continue with our train ride, in a comfortable conversation all together.

When we got there, we ate dinner and then Al and I went up to the girls dorms (A/N: I forgot to mention before, there is no charm on the girls dorms in Hufflepuff, because Hufflepuff was smart enough to realize that anything the students could do in the girl's dorms, they could also easily do in the boy's dorm so we put a spell on one and not the other. ) to unpack my stuff. When we got up there the other girls were already unpacking their things and so they left us is basically alone.

We finished unpacking my stuff and went to go unpack his. We got over to the other dorm and we're surprised to find Natalie and Jayden, the two most antisocial people on the group, sitting on Jayden's bed talking.

When we walked in they jumped like they had been hit by a stinging hex. "What's wrong with you two, it's just us." I said looking at them confusedly.

"You guys startled us. I thought you were unpacking your stuff in our dorm." Natalie replied.

"We finished, we just came here to unpack my stuff now." Albus said.

"Oh, ok, see you guys later then." Jayden said and then grabbed Natalie's hand as he rose from his seat and walked out of the dorm.

"That was strange." Albus commented, and we went to unpack his trunk.

Once we finished since we were now alone in his dorm we walked over to his bed and sat down, then he pulled me close to him and wrapped his arm around my waist, just resting it there contentedly. " I'll be right back. I have an idea." I said and he released me looking very curious.

I walked back into the girl's dorm and grabbed the book we'd been reading together. We had gotten approximately half way through it before the break, so it was just getting to the main climax.

When I got back to Albus he looked at me expectantly and I walked over to the side of the bed and snuggled into his side, before producing the book, from behind my back. He smiled and turned to the page we were in, charming it to hover right in front of us in our favorite position, and flicked his wand occasionally whenever we both finished with one of the pages. We read at right around the same speed so whenever he finished reading a page he would turn it, and if I wasn't done by then I would just ask him to turn it back.

We sat for hours like that, the only conversation being whenever he turned the page too soon.

Surprisingly I didn't fall asleep and neither did he. We were still awake and reading when the other boys came in telling us that it was like midnight and we needed to get in bed for classes the next morning. I noticed a small stain of lipstick on Jayden's upper lip, recognizing it as Natalie's shade. "Hey Jay, you got something on your lip there." I said smirking and laughing into Albus's neck as he hugged me goodnight. He wiped it off quickly and blushed brightly, looking at his shoes.

Then I walked out of the room, with a very Slytherin smirk on my face.

When I got back to my dorm the other girls were waiting for me on my bed. "You guys do realize that's my bed, right?"

"Of course we do. But we have questions for Natalie and your bed is where we always have these meetings. We were just waiting for you." Alice said very matter- of- factly.

"O...kay, then ask your questions. And I will be there in a sec, I just want to change into some pjs first." I replied and the girls just sat there for a minute while I grabbed my pajamas. As I started to slip my legs into a pair of short, black silk shorts, and a yellow tank top, they turned toward Natalie and started asking their questions.

"So what's up between you and Jayden?" Rose asked bluntly, earning a slap to the back of the head from me as I walked past her on my way to my hamper to put away the clothes that I'd just taken off. "Ouch, what was that for!?"

"Couldn't you have been a bit more subtle about that?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, I probably could have, but I didn't feel like it." She replied smart alecky.

"Shove off," I said and pushed her shoulder as I sat down next to Natalie. I laid my head on her lap and she subconsciously started stroking my hair. " So Nat, what is going on? I noticed some lipstick on his upper lip, just now. I could have sworn it was your shade." I said settling into her.

"Oh, fine, guys, you can't tell anyone, alright?" She started and then looked at me pointedly, "That includes, Al, Cassie."

I rolled my eyes at her and we all promised.

"Alright, so, Jayden and I were talking earlier, you saw us Cass, and then when we left the dorm, to leave you two alone. He sat next to me in the Room of Requirement, actually we've been going there a lot together lately."

"Get on with it!" Alice said exasperatedly.

"Alright, alright, just listen." She started again."So we were in the Room and he was sitting so close to me that if I scooted any closer I would be on top of him. He looked at me and our eyes met, he smiled at me and then without even saying anything he leaned down just a little, and he kissed me full on the lips." She finished blushing.

"So are you two a thing now or…." Rose started.

"Technically, yes, but you still can't say anything, got it?" She looked at us seriously.

We all reinstated the promise not to tell anyone, and then we fell into a comfortable, conversation, ranging from what we were going to do over the weekend, to how Natalie and Jayden were going to tell the other guys, and when.

Meanwhile, in the boy's dorm:

Albus' POV:

"Alright so what's up with you and Nat, Jayden." I asked.

He looked at me and rubbed the back of his neck, grinning.

"Alright, here goes." He started. "Don't tell the girls, not even Cassie, got it Albus, guys you either."

Then once we all confirmed that we wouldn't say anything, he continued. "We were talking in the Room, like I told you guys we have been lately. And I looked down and her, she smiled at me. I just couldn't help it I closed the small distance between us and kissed her. She took about two seconds to realise what was going on, and suddenly she kissed me back. It was perfect, completely perfect."

"That's awesome dude, you together now, or what?" Scorpius asked.

"Technically, yeah, and I hope it stays that way for a long while, anyway, like I said don't tell anyone I told you, Nat would kill me." He said grinning. We all patted him on the back and then began a conversation about quidditch tryouts that were coming soon.

After that nothing big happened until Quidditch tryouts.

Normal POV:On the morning of tryouts, Jayden, Scorpius, Natalie, Albus, and I walked down to the pitch in borrowed Hufflepuff uniforms, followed by the rest of the group to just watch.

The tryouts went well, and then it was time to see who made the team. The only two spaces not open were, one of the chasers, and the keeper. Scorpius got a chaser spot, Jayden got the other one, Natalie took seeker, and Albus and I got the two beater slots.

When Natalie found out that she had gotten on the team, she was so excited that she forgot nobody knew about her relationship with Jayden. Well, at least nobody outside the group knew. But they did now, she ran over to him, throwing in a couple cartwheels and front flips on her way, and threw her mouth onto his, much to his pleasure, and the rest of Hufflepuff's surprise, as most of the people from the house were either trying out or watching their friends try out.

After that scene, they stopped hiding it and started walking around the halls hand in hand, and stealing kisses at practices, and sitting basically on top of each other in classes and meals.

Eventually the rest of us got used to it and went back to our usual business.

One morning, about three weeks after they got together, Rose and Scorpius told us that they had gotten together. By this point Alice and Frank had each started their own respective relationships.

So by about a week after that we had introduced the two extra people into our little family, and were now all sitting together in the girl's dorm. Frank's girlfriend, Hannah Gilbert, was also a Hufflepuff, in third year, so she was allowed into the common room.

So we were sitting in the girl's dorm. I was with Albus on my bed, Nat and Jayden on her bed, Alice and her boyfriend, Jacob Moyle, on her bed, along with Frank and Hannah, and Rose and Scorpius shared her bed.

I was situated on Al's lap, sitting comfortably, with our book seated in my own lap, Alice on Jacob's lap, in the middle of snogging him senseless, Frank had his girlfriend in his arms, alternating between whispering in her ear, and kissing her neck softly. Rose was on Scorp's lap, head resting on his shoulder, while he read muggle fairy tales in a low voice, and Jayden had his head in Nat's lap, while she read to him, and ran her hands through his hair.

We were all very comfortable, until the fifth year prefect came up to check on us.

He walked in and immediately the air in the room was thicker. He looked around the room and as his eyes passed over us, each couple moved so that each person had a respectable distance, between them and their partner. Jayden sat up and scooted over a bit away from Natalie.

The fifth year then walked slowly, over to me and Albus. He handed me a small slip of paper and exited the room. He said a total of two words the entire time he was there, and he still managed to make everyone nervous. He said, "From Ethan."

With suddenly shaking hands, why were my hands shaking, it's just Ethan, I unfolded the paper and read the contents carefully. As I was reading, I grabbed Albus' hand for support.

This is what the paper read:

Dear Cassidy, (Red flag, he never uses my full name.)

I need to see you as soon as you get this. I'll be in the Room of Requirements. There is some very serious family business, that we need to discuss. Marie will also be there. Bring Albus, you will want him with you for this.

-Ethan

I handed the note to Al and got up, quickly getting some shoes on. He followed suit and tossed the note onto Nat's bed, as we were leaving.

We rushed to the Room, and found my siblings inside, Marie was sitting on a couch, scribbling something on a couple different pieces of paper, and sending them off with charms each time she finished one, and Ethan was pacing behind it.

He saw us at the door and ushered us in. Then he handed me a piece of paper, without a word, and went back to his pacing.

This paper read:

Dear Cassidy, Ethan, and Marie,

We have some exciting news for you!

Your mother is going to be having another baby, we have found that it will be a boy. You will be home for the summer by the time it is due to be born. I hope you are all doing well at Hogwarts. We love and miss you. We hope to hear from you soon!

Love,

Mom and Dad

"What?!" I screamed, causing Marie, who hadn't noticed us yet, to jump, and Ethan to look up from where he'd been watching his pacing feet.

"That is exactly what I said, baby sis." Ethan said, coming over to me and giving me a tight hug.

"I wasn't really that surprised." Marie said nonchalantly.

After that we had a discussion about the new baby, and parted ways to our respective common rooms.

Back at the common room, we got attack by all our friends, almost immediately upon entry to the girl's dorm.

"What happened!? Is there something wrong!? Your brother called you Cassidy, he always calls you Cass or Cassie. WHAT HAPPENED?! " Natalie screamed.

"Nothing is wrong. My mother is having a baby boy. I'm gonna have a little brother. I'll be a big sister." I told them excitedly. The boys congratulated me, and the girls shrieked and then followed suit.

For the rest of that day we all hung out just as we had been, before I had been called away.

The next morning we got up and went down to breakfast together as a group.

At breakfast I found out that Marie had found a love that wasn't books, apparently she had gotten herself a boyfriend. She introduced him to me and my friends as a sixth year Ravenclaw, named Josh Macle. He gave us a small nod as she gestured to him, and continued to stare at her causing her to blush furiously. They walked off after that and I looked back at my friends.

"It's about time she got a boyfriend, she's always so uptight, I am glad she finally gets to experience what having a life is like. "I stated bluntly.

At that all of them started chuckling, and Frank started choking on the sausage he had just started to eat. Al threw his arm around my waist and lifted me into his lap, "That was harsh," He said still chuckling lowly, "But it was really funny. Especially since you haven't been showing that you have a life lately. We haven't gone anywhere or done anything together, except for read, which don't get me wrong I love reading with, but I wanna do something active. " He said and that just made me really want to prove him wrong.

So I got up off of his lap, hearing 'oohs and aahs' and 'Wrong thing to say, mate. ', as i dragged him out of his seat, and out of the Great Hall.

Once we were in the hall I looked him over, grabbed his arm and pulled him down a few different halls, so that we would be far away from the Great Hall, and shoved him into a small classroom.

"Something active, you say? Well I've got just the thing. " I said and smirked at him, resembling a Slytherin.

"That's what I said, yes. " He stated smiling cheekily down at me.

Before he could even think about saying anything else, he no longer had the room in his mouth for it. My mouth was on his faster than even Madame Hooch could say quidditch. I pushed him my open and snaked my tongue into it, running it along his teeth, earning me a low growl, he put his hands on my waist pulling me closer to his body. I responded by putting my hands on the back of his head and pulling it closer to me. He growled again, as I bit his bottom lip softly, and decided that as close as we were wasn't close enough. So he slid his hands slowly down to my thighs, and lifted me into the air, wrapping my legs around his waist. He walked over to the closest wall, all the while continuing to kiss me with all the fire in his heart, and pressed me against it. He pushed me higher up on the wall, as to reach me better and starting running his own tongue over my top row of teeth, sending a shiver down my spine and emitting a small moan of delight. He broke out of the kiss to say four simple words. "I love that sound!" And then he continued to run his tongue over each surface in my mouth, coming to my bottom row of teeth last.

When he started running his tongue over my bottom teeth, I don't know what came over me, but I bit his tongue slightly while my hands searched over his neck for his tie. I quickly found it and untied it easily, I then unbuttoned the first three buttons of his uniform shirt and placed my hands on his chest, feeling his heartbeat under them.

He placed his knee under me to hold me up and took his hands off my waist, slowly gliding up towards my own tie, he fumbled slightly in his excitement, and it took him slightly longer to undo my tie, like I'd done his. He then worked the top three buttons of my uniform top, and placed his own hands over my heart, feeling it beat underneath them.

He removed his mouth from mine and just looked at me with a hunger in his eyes. He placed his lips on my neck and started working the magic that I knew he had in him.When he pulled back from my neck, he looked at me for a moment and then started fresh on the other side.

Once he finally stopped he looked down at my neck to inspect his handiwork. My usually pale skin was now covered in small, angry, red marks. He smiled down at them, and gave me a look as if to say, 'Now everyone knows, that you're mine.' He looked satisfied and began to put me down, but I wasn't finished quite yet. I put my hands back onto his head and pulled him mouth back to mine, he seemed perfectly fine with that, and decided that he wanted to hear that beautiful noise again.

He ran his tongue over my teeth over and over again, listening as I moaned softly each time he came back around. Finally I went nuts, I grabbed him by the waist and pushed myself up further on the wall, to give myself some leverage over him. Then I placed my mouth on his neck, sucking on it softly leaving my own little red marks on his skin, earning a low growl each time I bit him a bit more forcefully than normal.

When I pulled away I gave him a smirk and said, "Now everyone will know you're mine."

He smiled at me and placed me on one of the desks that were in the room.

"You said you wanted active, there's some activity for you! " I laughed and pulled him down to me for one more kiss.

After that we put back on our ties and buttoned our shirts, still leaving a food half of the small marks we'd given each other visible, and we went back to the Hufflepuff commons as it was Saturday and we had no classes.
