Sex Isn't Stealthy

Ariana gripped George's arm with all her might.

"These heels are so high, it's going to be hard to be inconspicuous if I fall flat on my face." Ariana whispered to George as they approached the all-too-giant mansion. Fred and Penelope were walking a bit ahead of them as they passed the extravagant fountain in the middle of the front pathway. Music could be heard inside as people chatted in what seemed to be every room of the house from what Ariana could see through the windows.

"Relax, you look great. And hopefully we won't be too long." George whispered back. He brushed his lips against her ear, sending slight goose bumps up Ariana's spine. George and Ariana were meant to look like a couple and George was already well into playing his part.

"Yeah and if there's a big chase sequence just remember you only have to outrun me."

"Well that's a relief." He winked at her and laughed as they stepped into the house. Ariana let out a large breath.

"George I-"

"It's okay. I know. I can tell when he looks at you. After you left to go help Draco, I had a lot to think about. Then after I was awful to you I had even more to think about. I could tell despite everything that happened between you both that there was still something there." Ariana paused, working out the words in her head before she spoke.

"I know it doesn't make sense." Was all she could come up with.

"It doesn't have to. Just know that if he hurts you again, I will hurt him a lot worse." Ariana smiled and reached up to kiss George's cheek. She then turned to focus back to the room, ready to follow through with their plan.

People were everywhere. All the men were dressed in semi-formal suits while all the women wore cocktail dresses. Some a little too short.

The house was covered in a rich bright wood that made the house seem cozy.

"Ah! The other twin." A tall gorgeous woman came over to them, a bright red dress hugging her slender body. Her hair came down in inky black ringlets, haloing her tanned face.

"Hello Jacqueline." She air kissed his cheek and then leaned over to do the same to Ariana.

"My name is Ariana, I'm George's fiancée."

"Oh! Congratulations!" Ariana could feel the contempt in Jacqueline's voice. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to go mingle." And with that, she was off, clearly not interested in the couple, which is what they were counting on.

The main room was a giant ballroom, a balcony draped in red fabric encircled the room, only a few groups were up there for more privacy.

"The balcony also leads to a hallway to the rest of the house." George whispered in Ariana's ear.

"You start there. I'll go get Draco." George nodded, letting go of her arm swiftly. Ariana grabbed a glass of champagne as she tried to look as casual as possible. She walked back into the entrance hall, walking over to the backyard, which twinkled with dozens of floating candles.

Sure enough she saw the hedge that encircled the vast area, one spot in particular was shaded where a bench sat snugly beside a willow tree. She walked over to it and sat down carefully, pretending to admire the glimmering yard.

That's when she heard the slight rustling behind her. She smirked when she heard it.

"Not so loud Draco." She whispered as she took a sip of her drink. She looked up at the house to see George in one of the second story windows. He gave her a small wave, which she returned.

She walked over to the hedge and separated it as best as she could. Draco stumbled out, his suit slightly wrinkled.

"I think a bug went in my ear." He tugged at his ear uncomfortably. Ariana rolled her eyes.

"No one saw you? No alarms went off?"

"No, everything went well."

"George is checking out the second floor. I suggest we try the third." Draco nodded as they headed over to the house, no one even glancing their way. They avoided the large French doors and went for the less conspicuous small door that led to the kitchen.

House elves were cooking away, avoiding the two as they quickly made their way through the kitchen. The other side led to a hallway with the busy dining room across from them. The ducked down the hall heading farther into the house.

"There's a staircase this way I think." Draco took Ariana's hand unthinkingly and lead her left down yet another hallway. Sure enough a smaller staircase came into view. Unfortunetly, Jacqueline was making her way down that very staircase. "Shit."

Draco quickly shoved Ariana into the nearest room, closing the door quietly behind them. Her footsteps came and went by the door, Ariana trying to steady her breathing.

"I thought we were done for." Ariana whispered in the darkness of the room. The moonlight shone onto both of them through the slight crack in the curtains. Draco nodded. They both turned to each other, realizing now that they were holding onto each other's arms for dear life.

Their eyes met locking each other in their gaze.

"Ariana." His voice said her name lightly, almost unheard. She felt her skin tingle, a shiver escaping down her spine, causing her breath to come out sharp.

"Yes?" He brought a hand up to her face and let his fingertips touch her cheek. They glided slowly down her face leading down her neck all the way down to the top of her strapless dress.

He leaned in slowly, showing his intentions. And then his lips were on hers, kissing slowly and carefully. Ariana felt herself reciprocating bringing her hands up to rest on his neck.

His tongue grazed hers for just a moment, sending another shiver through her and a small moan vibrating into him. He tensed and then suddenly his kiss became more fierce, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist.

"How could I ever forget this?" He whispered hungrily, his voice deep and raspy. He pushed her against the wall, causing her to let out another moan.

They were wrapped into each other suddenly, their hands everywhere they could grab. Ariana felt the adrenaline pump through her veins and her heart constrict in want. She began unbuttoning his shirt, feeling his warm skin underneath. Her head spun in wonder.

He grabbed her arms again and turned her so she was pushed against the desk that was against the wall. She never even realized it was there, never really taking a glance at where they were.

He lifted her quickly, laying her down on the desk. He crawled on top of her, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight. She recalled when he did this once before. It frightened her then, and now she wanted it more than anything.

And then he was kissing her again, hard and determined. She brought her hands down and began undoing his belt. His breath seemed to seize for a moment, and then he was gasping.

She managed to get his button and zipper undone as he struggled to remove her underthings. Finally, they felt their freedom and their want escape.

He adjusted himself carefully and then, he was inside her, filling her, sending her into euphoria. She felt herself whisper his name.

"Please don't ever leave again." He says through harsh breaths. She brings her lips to his and kisses him softly.

"Never."

….

Draco opened the door carefully, peaking his head out. He opened the door completely and stepped out, Ariana in tow. They headed up the stairs as quickly as they could, both a bit wobbly.

"Where the hell have you been Ariana?! Draco, aren't you supposed to be distracting Jacqueline?" Fred suddenly seemed to appear, scolding them in a hushed voice.

"We were just uh-"

"It doesn't matter, we think we found Blaise." He headed back down the hall. Draco and Ariana quickly followed, the reddening in their cheeks going unnoticed.

Fred stepped into one of the rooms, Penelope and George standing by a door in the room.

"Really? In here? It seems a little out in the open for having a party here." Ariana questioned.

"Generally guests don't go snooping around each other's houses. Plus this door is locked and Penelope believes it to be charmed so no sound can be heard inside." George explained.

"Great. So how do we get in?"

"Simple." George walked over to the door they came through and closed it, putting a silence charm on it as well.

"REDUCTO!" Penelope shouted. The door exploded and turned to ash before them, causing Ariana to scream.

"Sorry! I've just always wanted to do that." Fred rolled his eyes as he grabbed his wife's hand and entered the next room. It turned out not to be a room at all but a staircase leading down.

"Blaise?! Are you down there!?" Penelope shouted. They waited for a reply.

"Penelope?" The voice was small and frail. They all ran down the staircase as fast as they could. It lead to a brick wall with a heavy wooden door. Penelope shouted the same spell again and they all piled into the small dank room. Blaise sat in the middle, tied to a chair, looking tired and slightly beaten.

"Oh! Blaise!" Penelope hugged him tightly, kissing the top of his head repeatedly.

"Ow ow ow! Careful!" He exclaimed, trying to pull himself from her grasp. Fred and George began to undo the knots as Draco stood awkwardly in front of him.

"Surprised to see you here. Finally figured out I'm not an asshole?"

"At least not in that way." Draco retorted, but smiled. Blaise gave a lopsided smile.

"The idiot who grabbed me thought I was you. Clearly Jacqueline wasn't too clear on your description. She's the one who jinxed you. She was trying to jinx you into forgetting anyone you were with and she wanted you to think if you ever saw them, you'd like them nothing more than what a sibling would. Somehow, it got really messed up." The ropes were finally free and Penelope helped him to his feet.

"That all seems really complicated. Why not just sneak me a love potion?"

"Because I wanted them to suffer just like I did." Everyone froze as Jazqueline entered the room carefully. "Hello Draco." A half smile played on her lips as she stood staring at all of them.
