AN: Things get a lot lemony this chapter... So you've been warned.


I quickly followed Gray back up to the castle, my hand clasped in hers, trying to keep to an ambling pace so I wouldn't seem over eager. Gray had my interest up when she agreed to 'maybe later inside.' She glanced back at me and grinned. "Have you ever been in Ravenclaw tower?" She asked me. I shook my head no. "Do you want to see it?" She asked. A grin spread slowly over my features I nodded.

"Sure I would Gray." She smirked at me, a rather impressive imitation of the look that so often crossed my features.

"Now it doesn't afford the privacy that the Slytherin commons does, but I love it there." I had already figured that out. I dropped her hand only to sling my arm over her shoulders.

"I'm sure we can figure something out." I shrugged. "And weren't you saying earlier that you had some homework to attend to?" She hummed and leaned closer into my side.

"I could be persuaded to put it off." She answered. I arched an eyebrow at her.

"That's very un-Gray of you. Not that I am trying to talk you into doing homework." I saw a faint blush stain her features and I was instantly curious about the cause. "What's going on in that brain of yours?" We were walking into the school at this point. Gray shot me a look and then dragged me into an alcove not far from the entrance. I was puzzled at her behaviour.

"Draco, do you know what my number one priority in life is?" She asked me.

"I don't believe so. Probably to know everything there ever was to know, because you're a relentless Ravenclaw." She grinned quickly at the stupid alliteration.

"You're on the mark. I want to know everything. Right now I'm missing something that is integral to the human psyche and experience. At least for most hormone addled teenagers." I raised an eyebrow.

"You're throwing an awful lot of confusing language my way. Let me see if I can translate this. You want to learn about…physical stuff…it's bothering you that you haven't had sex and don't know what it's like?" By the deepening of her blush I knew that's exactly what she was trying to say. My mouth went dry and I took a deep breath. "You know that all you ever had to do was ask me." I said softly.

"I don't know my own mind right now." She admitted she was looking toward her feet. "I think I'm ready though, so can we try?" She finally looked up at me, her eyes imploring.

"I don't know. You just told me you don't know what you're thinking. I don't want this to be something you look back on and regret." I sighed; not agreeing to this seemed absolutely bonkers since it was the one thing I wanted most in the world. I knew that it would only hurt her if I went about it in the wrong way. She leaned up and nuzzled into my neck, her lips ghosting over the skin on my neck for a quick moment.

"We'll just try." She whispered. I felt my pulse kick up slightly. "I trust you." Her voice was beseeching me.

"You have more faith in me than I do." I answered. She leant back and unleashed her eyes on me. I was a goner, no way I could say no to that look.

"We'll try." I eventually agreed. "When do you want to do this?" I asked.

"No time like the present." She shrugged.

"You said yourself that there isn't much privacy in the Ravenclaw common room."

"I have an idea about that; I just want to be where I'm most comfortable." She said. I nodded and latched my hand to hers.

"Lead the way then." I pulled her out of the alcove and towards the staircase. Her hand fidgeted nervously in mine and I could tell she was nervous. "Hey don't worry Gray." I wrapped my arm back around her shoulder, and talked softly. She looked up at me biting her lip softly. "I promise everything will be fine." She nodded. We plodded on in silence until we reached a bronze knocker situated on the wall. She knocked it quickly and the bronze raven that comprised the knocker asked a question. Gray thought for a second before answering. The knocker smiled and the door slide aside. There were a couple of younger students lounging about, but they all seemed entranced by books or homework. I gazed around at the spacious common room. It was nice…I preferred the darkness of the Slytherin common room, but I had to admit there was something about the large windows and bookcases that covered the walls that made this room special.

"Is it up to your standards?" Gray asked pulling me from my thoughts, as well as grasping my hand and leading me off to a staircase.

"It's so airy and light. It makes me feel weird." I laughed. "No, it's really nice."

"Glad you like it." She smiled over her shoulder as we made our way up the staircase. We got to a door a ways up and she opened it onto a circular room with several beds. The room was empty and Gray pulled me in before shutting the door.

"Nice view from here." I commented walking over to one of the windows. I heard Gray make a sound of agreement behind me. I suddenly felt Gray's arms come around me and I smiled to myself before turning and wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her towards me. She smiled and laid her head against my chest, her hands running up and down my spine. She stepped back and pulled me toward what I assumed was her bed. I followed obediently and followed her onto it. She pulled the drapes around the bed, muttering a sticking charm and uttering another bit of spell work that I didn't know. It wasn't dark despite the drapes being drawn as the head of her bed was built into a window. She then cast a muffling charm and then looked towards me. There was tightness around her eyes and I could tell she was feeling a little nervous again. I was sitting by the head of her bed, while she was by the foot; I held a hand out to her and her face softened as she took hold.

"Does this work for you?" She asked timidly. I raised an eyebrow; I didn't understand what she meant. She gestured about at how she had concealed us onto her bed.

"Oh, yeah of course this works." I smiled and then tugged her hand lightly. "You sitting at the opposite end of the bed from me doesn't work though." She laughed lightly and crawled towards me. "Better." I smiled. I placed a kiss by her ear, slowly working towards her mouth. "One question though. If any of your roommates come back won't this seem a little suspicious?" She shook her head.

"I do this when I want to study and quite often while I'm sleeping or napping, they're used to it. They won't know anything is different. Although…" She trailed off and bit her lip. I looked at her curiously. She blushed; I had no idea what about. "It's just that sometimes Miranda wants to talk to me, and she's kind of relentless. Maybe I should just pen her a quick note." She quickly muttered a spell under her breath and dashed out of the curtains; I heard her scribbling and then she was back in the bed, her wand moving quickly to put the charms back in place. "Okay, we should be all good now."

"Are you sure you really want to do this?" I asked her, giving her a chance to back out before I got too heated to stop. "You know after a certain point it'll be really difficult for me to pull back." She looked concerned, but she crawled into my lap and put her arms around my neck, her blue eyes looking up at me innocently.

"I just want to try." Her voice was pleading and I broke. How could I possibly not do what she wanted?

"Whatever you want Gray." She smiled. I pressed one hand against her back, between her shoulder blades pushing her towards me. My other hand threaded into her hair and my lips met hers. Gray was playing with the hairs at the nape of my neck and it sent a shiver down my spine. My hands slid under her shirt and I quickly lifted the sweater she was wearing over her head and chucked it towards the foot of the bed. I took in her black cotton bra again and smiled. Gray blushed a bit. "You're beautiful." My voice was husky. She shook her head and dropped her eyes from mine. I stopped everything else I was doing and placed a hand on her cheek until she looked back up at me. "I mean it Gray." She nodded.

"I know." She whispered. Her hands started undoing the buttons on my shirt and she pushed it off of my shoulders. Her eyes roamed over my torso and a grin graced her features. "You're…perfect." The compliment affected me more than I knew it could. I heard a growling sound rip through my chest. I rolled Gray underneath me and raked her body with my eyes. I slid a hand under her back and undid the hooks on her bra; I slid it off of her quickly and had to press my forehead into her neck to remind myself to slow up. Gray moved gently beneath me, her hands coming to rest on my neck, drawing my eyes up to hers. "It's okay Draco, I'm ready." Her voice was firm this time, there was no hesitancy, I looked into her eyes and saw the difference. I nodded.

"I'm still not going to rush it." I told her. I fluttered my lips over her collarbones and then down to her chest, her breathing picked up and her heartbeat started speeding. My lips curled up in a smile against her skin. I gently scraped my teeth over one of her nipples and her reacting hiss made a pang of desire fly through me. I leant back up to capture her mouth again. She was starting to get squirmy under me, her bare chest pushing into mine. My hand came between us and flipped open the button on her jeans; I slid the zipper down quickly and flicked my eyes up to hers. Her eyes were glazed over and I smiled softly at her. I sat back and pulled her underwear and pants down in one go. I couldn't stop my eyes from roaming her body. She was exquisite; I couldn't believe that she was really with me, after all these years of my pining. Her skin was slowly turning pinker, a blush covering her body; I looked back up to her eyes. "You're the most gorgeous woman." I uttered. She smiled and the blush let up a bit. She sat up a bit and tackled my belt, sliding it open and then undoing the button on the black dress pants I was wearing. I shrugged out of them and felt Gray appraising my body with her eyes.

The smile that slid over her features furthered my ardor and I leaned back in to claim her mouth. I slowly slid down her body, my face coming down to rest between her legs. She gasped as my tongue flicked out. I knew that I needed to get her as aroused as possible before actually entering her to minimize the pain. I worked away feeling her getting close to a climax. My named rolled out of her mouth breathily and I smirked. I gave her a moment to come back down, I kept my fingers where they were, but kissed my way back up her body to capture her mouth. "You're uh…you're amazing." She mumbled against my lips. I was working her back up with my fingers.

"You're amazing." I whispered back. "Are you ready?" I asked. Her eyes opened and she looked at my lustily. She nodded her head. I sat up and felt around the bed for my pants I drew out my wand and uttered a contraception charm. I leant back down and positioned myself over her. My fingers had been working her the whole time and she was not far off of another orgasm. I put my free hand by her head and used it to support my weight. I looked down at her, gauging her reactions. I gently pushed into her, slowly edging in. Her face showed mild discomfort I paused, flicking my hand that was over her clit back and forth a little faster. She moaned. I bit my lip trying to hold onto my self-control. I inched in further until I was in. I wasn't sure how much longer I could last, but I wanted the experience to be a good one for Gray. "Alright?" I asked.

"I'm fine." She assured me. Her hands that had been fisted in my hair slid onto my face, cupping it gently. I inched back and then forward again a couple of times. I eventually saw the tension leave her face, and saw that it was getting easier for her. She moaned and I picked up the pace slightly. I groaned and rested my face in the crook of her neck my lips skimming along her throat. I knew I wasn't far, but I wanted to push her over the edge first. She was gasping and shuddering, and my control was slipping, luckily she cried out a strangled animalistic noise. I thrust a couple more times before uttering a profanity under my breath and going rigid. I sank against her for a moment. I was roused by her fingers running through my hair. I came back into my brain and rolled off of her, I kept an arm around her and drew her to my side.

"Was that okay?" I asked her gently a couple of minutes later when her breathing had evened out.

"It was really good." She sighed against my neck. I craned my head to look down at her, a smile tugging on my lips. "I was expecting it to be more painful. Everything I've heard about other girls first times had me a little nervous." Her hand was tracing patterns into my chest. She shivered slightly. I maneuvered us under her covers and held her tighter to my side. I didn't want to tell her why it was less painful; she'd probably feel weird if I told her that I experience taking virginities.

"I'm glad." I answered.

"And for you..?" She trailed off. I angled her face so she was looking into my eyes.

"How could you think I didn't enjoy that?" I asked. She blushed and flicked her eyes away from my face. I stayed silent until she looked back at me. "You're really amazing Gray." I latched my mouth onto hers and poured my affection for her into the kiss. Her eyes were heavy when I pulled away. "You're tired." I stated. She nodded.

"Me too; we should catch a nap and then maybe it'll be dinner time, and if not we can go down to the kitchens." She nodded sleepily against my chest and her eyes drifted closed a watched her for a moment before straightening out and closing my eyes too. I smiled to myself happy and surprised at the day's events. I ran my hands lightly over Gray's back, her breathing got deeper and I could tell she was sleeping. "I love you Gray." I whispered.


AN: Okay... I don't really love writing sex scenes. Hopefully this was alright. I'm wondering if I should do this scene from Gray's perspective as well since some of her looks and how she's feeling is a little ambiguous... This chapter and the last were pretty much just focused on Draco and Gray, and I'll be resuming plot points in the next chapter or so.. Anyway let me know what you thought! I'm dying to know! Thanks to anyone who has reviewed, favved, or followed this story, and of course, thanks to my readers! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! ~WS
