-oO0 Summer before 6th year and 5th year 0Oo-
-Day two-
Severus and JD were pulling the last tent into place over the thick forest floor, as their father with a flick of his wand set up each one behind them. The ruffle of thick canvas popped in the air as the next one jumped, in the thick forest of the Blackburn estate.
Mason was back with their Mother back at the manor packing for their family camp out. JD, Mason and their mother had only been at the manor for a day before the idea of a family camp out became the main focus of the conversation. Their father had jumped on the idea insisting on getting new tent.
Now they were setting up these new tents, the big old family tent had been packed away into the estate attic to be forgotten. It had been sad to see the old tent packed away, though Severus was always the first to complain about the smell. Swearing to high Merlin he could smell Grandfather's fire whiskey but for the children it also held a treasure trove of hidden long forgotten items from the years the family had used it. Ever since their father was a kid that tent had been used for every family camp out. Severus hadn't admitted to anyone how he felt, volunteering to leave to help set up instead of watching the old memories be packed away. JD had volunteered just as quickly but Mason seemed to want to stay behind, he said he had things he wanted to ask their mother so they had trailed off behind their father into the woods, waving goodbye.
Pushing open the flap of the small tent Severus walked into a spacious living space that was a lot more roomy then the outside looked. This one had one large bed, two dressers, pictures, flowers with a spell to keep them eternally fresh, comfortable furniture lining the walls, and door that went to a private bathroom. It looked more like an expensive hotel room then camping. Being knocked to the side as JD rushed past Severus, she did a squeal of delight as she stood next to him taking it in.
"They are all like this, two people to each tent. We wont be crowded at all, this time." Her giggles spilled out as she climbed up the high side of the white fluffy blankets. She threw herself down on the bed making the thick white comforter fly up around her body as if she had wings. Severus walked over and unceremoniously laid down next to her.
"Aren't you going to miss the old tent?" grabbing a pillow to tuck under his arm as he leaned on his side to look at her on the large bed they now shared.
"It smelled funny, and Mum and Daddy would tell us to be quiet all night and stop talking. This way we can muffliato the walls and stay up all night." Kicking off her shoes as she crawled under the thick blanket.
"I am not sure we should be messing up the bed. This might not be our tent." Severus said while pulling down the covers trying to pull her out again. Her hands shot out like a hermit crab latching onto his arms and tugged him under with her. His laughter surprised him as he tumbled forward into an awkward position of being half in and half out of the blankets. "Slow down." He laughed as his shoes were kicked off and he crawled in beside her.
He laid on the pillow and watched her as her blond head popped out of the blankets again. A few stray hairs stuck up from static and her grin was infectious. Holding out his arms she easily slid into them and cuddled up next to him. Severus took a deep breath not to calm himself but to calm her bundled energy. At Hogwarts when they were younger and she was running hyper, or scared by a dream he use to calm her down like this. He was always the calm one and she was the boundless energy of the two, but he could calm her down. On the flip of the coin, she could excite him like no other person on the planet.
The soft nuzzle under his chin from her ticklish hair made him lift his hand to slide through her golden tresses trying to calm the static. Her soft purr like sound made him smile. It had been a long time since she had been in his arms.
-oO0Oo-
This last year she had dated the head boy, dated was the under statement of the year. Severus had to watch his sister hunt, trap and then parade around with the head boy. Even being a 7th year and her a 4th year Alex had been no match for his sister's cunning when she had her mind sent on a goal. That wasn't the only reason his arms had been empty of her, there had been Sabrina too.
Severus shut his eyes as he felt her relax against his body his mind drifting to the memory of the last time she was in his arms. He had been hurt at the constant flaunting of JD's new boyfriend around every corner. So when his parents had suggested bringing his betrothed to Hogwarts so the two of them could build a friendship before settling down he happily agreed. That great idea had turned into a royal mess with Sabrina demanding to be sent home and to never lay eyes on him again.
It turned out that Sabrina's had a deep need to let every girl in school know what was hers, and he was hers. That had started pleasant, snogging all over school, getting eye rolls and even gagging noises when they were locked together in some corner, was fun. Though it stopped being fun one night in the Slytherin common room, he felt the first pain from her bite on his neck. Her teeth had sunk hard into his skin as she made a merciless show to all in the room, of her claiming him until his blood met her lips. That one mark wasn't enough for her, she bit him again, and again pinning him under her with her body and magic forcing him to take the marking each day. She daily left his skin bruised, tender to the touch, and often with small drops of dried blood speckling his skin. The next act was of his humiliation by Sabrina, as she paraded him around like a trophy showing off her handy work to every girl. That is until she showed the marks off to his sister. JD had gotten so mad, she told Sabrina off calling her all sorts of names including a half breed, succubus, and vampire. Severus had been stunned into silence but Sabrina took it as him not supporting their relationship and she left, swearing to never see him again.
He had blamed JD for losing his betrothal, not that he missed Sabrina, he missed the constant attention she would pour on him. She might have hurt him and humiliated him but she made him feel like he belonged to someone. So the silent treatment was forced on JD by Severus until one night.
JD tricked her way into the Slytherin common room and found him doing his homework. She had slipped up behind him and began kissing his neck where the now faded bruises where. Apologizing softly with each kiss. He couldn't resist her touch, he hadn't been touched since Sabrina departure, and though he knew he should push her away, he had locked the door, pulling her into his lap.
On the chair, the desk and finally on his bed their heated kissing continued. He was starving for any physical touch and he knew his sister wouldn't deny him anything he wanted and he wanted her. Her clothes were no problem to push out of the way. In a heartbeat he was pushed up against her ready to take her as his own, then he felt the playful bite in the exact place as the last bruise on his neck. It sent a shiver of pleasure down his body unlike anything that had happened during Sabrina's bites and he stopped. That moment filled with so much sexual tension, he knew it was wrong, this was his sister and he stopped. Pulling her tight into his arms, he just held her. He held her the entire night denying himself what he craved most. That night he told himself she would never know how close he was to losing control with her.
Now he had her once again in his arms and the world felt perfect. His failed betrothal meant nothing to him now as sleep pulled on his eyelids, the heat of his sister's soft body penetrating through his thin summer weight shirt and shorts.
-oO0Oo-
Prescott opened the flap of the next tent after looking in the other tents for his children and saw JD and Severus curled up like when they were small children. Severus looked younger as he slept with his head on JD's chest his hand casually draped over one of her breasts. JD blue eyes flashed open wide when she saw her father, pulling the blanket up over Severus as she blushed. That blush broke the spell, Prescott knew his children where not little kids anymore.
"This is not your tent, You two are too old to sleep together anymore." His voice as hard as he could make it as his daughter's eyes grew large. He watched from the tent door a protective hand of his daughter snake around Severus' sleeping form.
"But...But Daddy he is sleeping, Mum would let us."
Prescott knew he shouldn't allow this but he still had the guilt strumming inside of him from leaving her and her mother.
"Your mother still sees you two as her little babies. You are not babies anymore, you have an intended and Severus will have another soon to think about." pausing to look at his children he shook his head not putting up anymore of a fight. "just this time." Dropping the tent flap he walked away from the triumphant smile of his daughter to find his guitar, never seeing his son and daughter snuggle even tighter under the blanket. His mind back to making the camp perfect for this was his chance to make things right again with his wife. This summer she was giving him a second chance and he planned on making the entire summer flawless. He was going to get his family back.
"I wish we didn't have to grow up" Severus' groggy voice was met with a playful smack on his shoulder.
"You were awake the whole time, you big Faker!" JD giggled down into his hair placing a kiss in the soft blond curls "Yeah, I wish we didn't have to grow up too."
Severus looked up at his sister, her lips meeting his with a small kiss. His father was right they weren't children anymore and his body craved more then innocent kisses. Pushing his body tight to hers hoping she would feel his excitement, hard between his legs. The hope of her taking the bait so he could blame her for pushing him died when her soft kiss brushed away from his lips and landed on his cheek.
"Promise me we will never stop cuddling." Her words dashing his hopes for any release.
"I promise." wrapping his arms tight around his sister breathing her in before shutting his eyes again to the world, just as they heard the happy greetings as their mother and Mason entered the camp with the food.
