…The Rest of the Month…
I woke the next morning I woke in Blaise's arms still tired from the previous night's events. Blaise groaned and I put my head back on his chest. It was still early in the morning. Blaise groaned again. He opened his eyes. I watched him. He kissed my forehead.
We stayed there for a bit watching the sunrise. I had to push Blaise to get up. "You shouldn't have drunk that glass of firewhiskey then.", I scolded him. He went to shower. I stretched lightly.
Agni flew in and pecked at the window. I threw on one of Blaise's shirt. I went over to the window. Agni was chirping at Aithne. I opened the window. Aithne flew in and dropped off a note.
It was from Izzy. I chuckled. I wrote a response. I gave it to Aithne who disappeared immediately. I feed Agni. Blaise emerged from the bathroom wearing a towel around his waist. I watched with rapt interest.
"If you keep staring at me like that, I'm going to be late for work.", he growled playfully. I shivered but didn't cease my staring. He threw a pillow my way and I ducked.
I stuck my tongue out at him before scurrying from the room. I was in the kitchen sipping some water. Blaise went past with only pants on. I whistled appreciatively. Blaise waved me off.
I kissed him goodbye at the door. Harry, Ron, Fred, and George whistled as they walked down the stairs. I shoved Blaise lightly out the door. I closed the door as he went down the stairs.
I watched tv most of the day. Aithne dropped a note off for me. Izzy dropped me off some clothes. I showered and put on a pair of shorts and one of Blaise's shirts.
It was almost time for Blaise to clock out of work. I grabbed a bottle from the fridge and drank from it. I glanced at it and gasped. I had just drunk the firewhiskey. I put it back. I grabbed a bottle from the bag Izzy and downed it.
I was on the couch drinking from another bottle Izzy had brought. Blaise walked in and I waved turning back to my movie. Blaise closed the door. "Charlotte Black.", he growled lowly.
I waved not sure why he was growling. I looked over. He was holding up a bottle I had drank earlier. I turned the tv off. He strode over and snatched the bottle I was holding. I whined.
He glared and I sat back into the couch. He rifled through my bag collecting and confiscating the rest of the bottles. I heard him pouring them down the drain.
I ran into the kitchen. I stamped my feet as he poured the last bottle down the drain. He rounded on me. I looked at the ground.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. "No more alcohol. Ever. Am I understood?", he growled through gritted teeth. I looked at the ground. He put a finger below my chin lifting my head up to meet his fierce gaze. I agreed begrudgingly. He checked the fridge and I turned to run.
Blaise threw me over his shoulder. He tsked. He left the kitchen and sat me on the couch. I fidgeted. I kept looking around for a distraction.
"Do you enjoy making me worry? Do you find this entertaining? Would you rather I let you drink yourself until you make yourself sick?", he spoke calmly. I shook very intimidated by Calm yet Angry Blaise. He was acting the same way as when he found out about my gift.
He refused to let me move from the spot he put me in. "Answer me now or I'll come to my own conclusions.", he stated. I finally looked up at him. I froze. He was mad, irritated, calm, and sadness. I whimpered.
I shook my head. "I hate making you worry. I don't find this entertaining. I don't want to get sick from drinking. I don't. I don't. I don't.", I told him with extreme seriousness.
I moved to Blaise's lap. He looked at me a blank look on his face. He wrapped his arms around my waist slowly. I put my face in his neck. I tried to hide the tears in my eyes. Blaise shushed me and patted my head comfortingly.
I calmed down. "I want this to be the last time we have this alcohol conversation. Do you understand love?", he muttered. I nodded.
He wiped the fallen tears from my face. He pulled me closer to him. He kissed me lightly. I nuzzled my face in his neck. His hands were on my hips. We talked about his day at work.
He picked me up when he decided it was time for bed. He put me in the bed before he changed for bed. He slid into the bed and pulled me over to him.
I put my head on his chest. Blaise was humming. I fell asleep.
I woke in the morning to find Blaise already dressing. I crawled over and kissed his neck. Blaise chuckled. I wrapped my legs around his torso and my arms around his neck.
He shook his head. I hummed lightly as Blaise got ready for work. He stood up and I clung tighter to him as he moved around. He halted his routine when he was washing his face. "Love, time for you to get down.", he said as he looked at me in the mirror.
I sighed in mock sadness and got down. Blaise smirked as I muttered all the way back under the sheets. He finished getting ready. He crawled over to me and gave me a kiss.
"Behave today.", he reminded me. I nodded and kissed him once more before he left. I slept until the early afternoon. I was just starting to feel the effects of the alcohol. I showered and put on another one of Blaise's shirts.
I washed up the clothes. I put some prepped food into a pot to cook as I cleaned. I was just finishing up the stew when Blaise walked in. He looked around in confusion.
"Are you ok?", he asked "I am working through the beginning of my hangover.", I stated sipping some water. He scoffed.
He gave me a hug, "Just now feeling the effects?" I nodded into his chest. "Aww, poor little Charlotte!", he teased. I pushed him lightly from the kitchen. I finished cooking and he returned wearing just a pair of sweats.
I handed him a plate. He took it gratefully and took a bite. He leaned against the counter as he ate while I sat on the counter eating. I set the dishes to wash as we finished eating. I listened attentively as Blaise told me about his day.
We watched a few movies before bed. We fell asleep on the couch after the last movie, but when I woke up, we were in his bed. I listened to his breathing a bit before falling back asleep.
I woke up before him the next morning. I was drinking some water when he finally got up. "Why are you awake this early love?", he asked kissing me lightly. I shrugged, "Hangover."
He shook with silent laughter. I frowned at him. "Sorry, but it's funny.", he laughed. I smiled watching him laugh. I made a fruit salad while he rummaged around the flat. I sat on the couch eating and every now and then he'd pick a piece or two from the bowl.
"What are you looking for?", I asked as he passed by me for the 18th time in less than five minutes. "I can't find my work bag, my travelling cloak, or my work files.", he muttered as he checked the room once more. Agni and Aithne had come to watch.
I held back a laugh. I waved my wand and all three items zoomed from the kitchen into his arms. He thanked me and hurried to finish getting ready for work.
I chirped at the phoenixes who chirped back also highly amused. "Stop gossiping about me to the phoenixes!", Blaise called from the bathroom. I jumped and busied myself with flipping through the tv channels.
"What are you going to do today?", he asked as he organized his things. "Lunch with the girls and a little bit of shopping.", I answered. Blaise shot me a look. "What?!", I asked innocently
He ruffled my hair. "Window shopping only. I've seen your closet." I gave a gasp of horror. "Only window shopping?! Why? I behave. I cleaned out my closet. I still have space.", I whined in protest.
"Hiding the rest of your closet in books and drawings does not count as cleaning out space.", he interjected. "Damn.", I muttered.
He stared at me a moment before kissing me. "Remember what I said.", he murmured against my lips. I nodded and he left. I got up from the couch a couple of hours later to shower and get ready for lunch.
I dressed in some skinny jeans, a blouse, boots, and a light jacket. I put my hair in a high ponytail as I left the bathroom. I gave Aithne a treat before I left. I closed the door and headed down the stairs.
Izzy was just leaving Charlie's flat. "Wait up!", she called after me. She hurried over. Charlie was in Romania for the time being and she was making sure everything was in order.
We headed to the restaurant. Ginny squealed and jumped at us in glee. I laughed as she hugged Izzy. I hugged Hermione and Luna. We went inside.
We caught up a bit more before the appetizers arrived. "Sharks and active volcanoes!", Hermione gasped choking on her water. Izzy nodded. "Don't start her on this. I've been yelled at enough.", I complained before Hermione could start telling me off. Instead Izzy told them about me chasing Blaise.
"Merlin's beard!", Luna gasped her eyes landing on the engagement ring. I told them the full story including me and Juliet in the apothecary. "Oh, the food.", I pointed out. Ginny and Luna had found the story very funny.
Hermione and Izzy looked at me like they had more questions and rants to hand out. The server placed their food in front of them and I turned the conversation to Ginny.
We enjoyed the rest of lunch and I left the waiters a large tip for all the questions Luna asked. We exited the restaurant. They went with me to shop. I'd need a few new winter clothes.
"Wow! Your buying less than you usually would do.", Izzy remarked as she eyed my bag. I pouted. "Blaise said I can only buy what I need, and window shop the rest of the time.", I whined. They laughed. "Ah, yes. I heard from Harry that you got in trouble for drinking.", Ginny looked at me with a smirk. Izzy went red.
"Char was working so much that I gave her a few, more like 18 bottles of alcohol.", Izzy muttered. Ginny burst out laughing. "I didn't even drink that much! Only 3 small bottles.", I defended myself as Luna began to smile.
"Then he poured them down the drain. And If that wasn't punishment enough the hangover, I got a few days later was absolute hell.", I ranted. Luna opened her mouth to question my last statement, but Hermione cut her off. "We have to remember that this is the same girl who feels nothing around dementors. Of course, she wouldn't be hungover that quickly.", she stated.
Luna nodded in agreement. We continued shopping for another hour before they went back to work.
Izzy walked with me back to the house. We were to join our parents for dinner. Charlie and Blaise were invited for dinner too. We hurried inside.
I packed for the trip so that I could have more free time. I showered and changed so I was more comfortable for dinner. Ava walked in with a smirk as I put my shirt on.
"Fred told me about what happened the other night.", she laughed lightly. "Is he joining us for dinner? I bet you 10 galleons.", I asked innocently. She flushed and ran from the room.
Izzy tsked at me as she passed by my room. I pouted at her. I slipped my feet into my fuzziest slippers. Blue was hooting at me. I gave her some treats and she chirped happily.
I left the room and went to the kitchen. Lucas was chatting with dad in a corner. I gave mum a hug. Ava walked in and glared at me before sitting by dad who was looking back and forth at the two of us in surprise.
I watched mum cooking. I tasted some of the food when she turned around. Mum tsked at me. I walked around the room. dad waved me over. I sat down.
"What's wrong with you two?", he asked looking at me and Ava. I winked at her and she flushed again temporarily losing the ability to talk. "Nothing. She was just really happy, and I asked her why. That's all.", I simplified the situation. Dad nodded and dropped the conversation.
The doorbell rang. Ava ran to get it. "Do be nicer to Ava, Charlotte.", mum scolded me from the other side of the room. I nodded. I went to the door because Ava was taking too long. Izzy followed also interested.
Ava was talking to someone. Izzy cleared her throat. Ava jumped. A rather harassed looking Charlie and Blaise entered the house. Ava waved to someone outside. Fred Weasley walked in. Izzy handed me 10 galleons when Ava wasn't looking. Charlie chuckled and led Izzy back to the kitchen.
Fred and Ava followed. I nodded my head towards the kitchen. "You didn't buy anything you didn't need, did you?", he asked unmoving. "No, I didn't. I listened to you.", I answered. He smiled.
He led me to the kitchen. The others were chatting happily. I sat on a stool at the kitchen island. Blaise entered the conversation that dad, Lucas, Fred, and Charlie were having. Ava and Izzy talked quietly by the pantry. Mum finished dinner.
We went to the dining room. I sat by Blaise. We sat around the table eating, the conversation light. Mum cleared her throat. "I'd like to thank you three young men for coming tonight.", she looked at Blaise, Fred, and Charlie. "I'd like to thank you for convincing the girls to forgive their father after that incident."
I fidgeted uncomfortably. Mum continued, "I'm truly thankful. I know that isn't always easy to deal with them, but you manage just fine, and that is all I can truly ask you to do. When they throw fits don't go easy on them. When they cry comfort them. When their happy share in their joy. When they're mad let talk to them so their anger doesn't stay bottled up inside. love them as much as they love you." She had tears falling from her eyes.
"Mrs. Black your making me blush!", Fred joked. Mum laughed and wiped her tears away. Dad and Lucas were shaking their heads. Ava and Izzy started crying which made mum cry again too.
Blaise and I watched the scene. Charlie, Fred, and dad were desperately trying to get them to stop crying. "Why aren't you crying?", Lucas asked in astonishment. "She doesn't even get a hangover until 3 days after she drinks!", Izzy said between sobs.
Blaise chuckled at the memory of me with a hangover. Dad laughed while he tended to mum. Tired of the crying I went to the kitchen and went back with three trays. They looked confused. I placed them in front of Ava, Izzy, and mum.
I took the lids off and their crying stopped. Mini bombe cakes were on the trays. They wiped their tears away and ate happy once more. I sat back down. "And that is how that is done.", I smiled.
We enjoyed a tear free dessert. Mum, dad, and Lucas left first. Fred pretended like he was tired and collapsed on the table. "What was that trick you used to make them stop crying?", Charlie asked ignoring Fred.
"Cakes. Bombe cakes specifically. They stop crying. It's the weirdest thing.", I muttered. We talked for a bit about the different ways they could get them to stop crying. Ava and Izzy had fallen asleep, so Fred and Charlie carried them upstairs.
I put my head on Blaise's shoulder. I hummed lightly. He stood up and guided me with him. I put my arm around his waist as we walked up the stairs. He opened my door. Blue was out hunting.
I closed the door. Blaise sat on my desk while I changed. I emerged and climbed into bed. Blaise sat on my bed. I pulled him closer, so he was lying next to me. "Go to sleep.", he muttered. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
The next two days I spent my time walking around in different parks drawing and taking photos.
It was the last week before the trip. I went to a few museums. I window shopped. I was just turning a corner when I ran into Mrs. Zabini.
"Charlotte!", she squealed. I hugged her. "I heard from Blaise the other day.", she pointed at the engagement ring. I smiled at it happily. She pulled me into a hug, "I'm so happy! He finally proposed." When she finally let me go, we noticed passerby staring.
We went to a café to talk. She gasped when I told her the full story. "Oh, dear. He must've been highly embarrassed to be the butt of the joke.", she giggled, "Before you leave on your trip you must join me for dinner. You and Blaise. I'd love to see the both of you.", she grasped my hands. I nodded. We finished our coffees and left the shop. She went to the apothecary to notify Blaise.
I walked with Ava into the station. I hugged her tightly. "Aww! It's your final year. Our family's little baby is all grown up.", I began crying. We walked through the barrier. She kept trying to stop my tears.
Izzy sighed dramatically. "I can still remember when Izzy and I went to the park because you and Lucas destroyed mum's artwork. When we came back you were being punished.", I'd begun to draw attention to us. "Why'd you grow up so fast?!", I asked hitting her shoulder lightly.
Adaya and Aderyn came over and I pulled them into a hug. Ava looked thoroughly relived to have my attention diverted. I pulled Ava and Odeya into the hug. Izzy separated me from them.
"Go on Char! Go on your trip.", Odeya said looking somewhat dizzy. I waved as they boarded the train. then I wiped the tears off my face and straightened.
Late that evening Izzy and I sent shrunk our luggage and put them into our bags. Mum and dad had gone to work, and we were the last one's home. We closed the door behind us.
Izzy was going to hang out at Luna, Ginny, and Hermione's place. I made my way to the Zabini house. I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps. The door opened and Mrs. Zabini waved me inside.
She led me to the kitchen. Blaise was there looking confused and worried. I sat by him. Mrs. Zabini finished the last of dinner. Blaise looked at me searching for answers. I tapped my engagement ring and he nodded looking a little more relaxed.
She placed plates in front of us. She sat down and cleared her throat. "What in the hell took you so long to propose to her dumbass?!", she yelled at Blaise, "I've been telling you for years that I wanted her as a daughter in law. You took so damn long."
He chuckled. "If she would've accepted the fact that we were a couple earlier I would've proposed earlier.", he scoffed. I busied myself with my food as the memory of Blaise kissing me in the middle of Hogsmeade came back full force.
Mrs. Zabini turned to me in shock. "I accepted his proposal quickly.", I protested at her look. She mumbled into her plate. I went over and hugged her. "We are very sorry you had to wait so long.", I told her. Blaise looked up defiantly.
I kicked him under the table. "She's right mum. We're very sorry.", he told her. A few tiny tears were in his eyes from when I kicked him. She took this as true honesty.
We continued our meal. Blaise poured his mum some wine. "Aren't you going to give Charlotte some?", she asked. I held out my cup. Begrudgingly he poured me a glass. I took a sip and put it down.
We talked through dessert. "I have one last thing I need to know.", Mrs. Zabini. We looked at her. "Can I request a wedding location?", she asked. We nodded. "Miami. Miami, Florida.", she whispered. I looked at Blaise who was eyeing his mum with a look of amusement.
"Of course!", he smiled at her. She smiled broadly. Blaise rose from his seat. "We have to go now. It's late." We looked at the clock. It was late. Mrs. Zabini rose and hugged her son. I quickly downed the rest of my wine.
I hugged Mrs. Zabini and we left. He held my hand as we walked down the street. He closed the door to his flat behind us. I fell onto the couch. Blaise chuckled at me for a moment before joining me. I nuzzled my face in his neck.
Blaise was mumbling something to himself. I kissed his neck and the mumbling stopped. I kissed his neck again and he kissed mine. I looked at him. "I'll be back as soon as I can okay. I love you.", I whispered. He sighed. I pulled him into a gentle, sweet kiss.
I felt him relax. "Okay. I love you too.", he murmured against my lips. I smiled. Blaise traced my lips with a finger. I closed my eyes. He kissed me. I sank into the emotion of the kiss. He traced his lips along my neck.
I gasped as he attacked the sensitive spot on my neck. I wrapped my legs around his waist. I felt him grin. He trailed down my body. He took my shirt off. I played with the hem of his shirt. He took it off.
I clapped my hands happily. He picked me up and sat back on the couch sitting me on his lap. He took my bra off quickly and began kissing my breast. I moaned and my head fell back. He stood me up. I worked my pants off.
He slid his pants off and pulled me back onto his lap. I could feel his hardness and shivered with glee. He pulled me down into a steamy kiss. He waved his hand and a condom appeared. He slid his erection out of his boxers and put it on. He slid my panties to the side, and I slid on.
He kissed me deeply as I rolled my hips. I gave a whimper as he stopped me. He slid his hands up and down my frame. He slid me slowly up and down the length of his cock. He kissed me sweetly. I smiled against the kiss.
He flipped us over. I pushed myself up to meet his hips. He pinned my arms above my head. I squirmed. He placed my legs around his waist.
I kissed his neck. He lifted my hips slightly and hit my g spot. Stars burst into my vision as I orgasmed on the spot. He kept hitting it. I hummed happily as he attacked it with his slow teasing thrusts.
He groaned as he watched me orgasm again. "Such wonderous self-control.", I murmured looking into his eyes. He groaned again as I clenched myself around him. He unpinned my arms, but I kept them there. He rubbed my nipples. I sighed.
He thrusted hard into me. I gave a gasp and he grinned. He kept doing it. I shivered as the orgasms rolled over me intensely. He held my hips in place as he thrusted with amazing speed in and out me. he watched as my orgasms hit me one after another.
Then he stopped. Keeping my legs around him, he carried me to his bed. He put me on the bed. I watched him. He stood at the foot of the bed with me spread out before him.
I was just about to say something when he slid me towards him thrusting into me again. I wrapped my legs around him. He lifted my hips slightly so he could continue hitting my g spot.
He let me fall back onto the bed. He flipped me over and slid inside me. I moaned and arched my back. He slid forward so his mouth was by my ear. "You look lovely when you orgasm. It's a shame you have to go.", he murmured, and I laughed. He slammed inside of me and I gasped.
"What an interesting reaction. I wonder what your reaction would be if I…", he trailed off. As he thrust away, he slid a hand over my torso and down my stomach. I shuddered as he played with my clit.
"Yes love?", he whispered in my ear, "say something. Or shall I take your silence as permission to continue?" I stayed silent. He continued. The waves of pleasure washing over me were too much to handle and my head fell forward onto a pillow.
He stopped his attack. He sat back on the bed pulling me with him, so I was in his lap. He pulled my face to his for a passionate kiss as he slammed my hips down. I moaned into his mouth as my orgasms hit me.
He flipped us once more. He was on top of me. I pulled his face down to mine. "I love you.", I gazed into his eyes. He shuddered. I lifted my hips and he slid into me. We kept eye contact the entire time. I kissed him and moaned into his mouth as he slammed into me. He groaned as I bit his lip lightly. I rolled my hips to meet his.
His gaze intensified. He lifted my hips higher. Then we climaxed together falling back onto the bed. I kissed him and felt him harden again.
I rolled over so I was on top. I rolled my hips down his length. When he tried to use his hands, I pinned them above his head. I kissed him as I forced myself down faster. I purred into his mouth as he tried to flip us over. I clenched my walls around him as I forced myself onto him harder. We climaxed. The night continued like this.
The next morning, I woke with Blaise on top of me. I kissed him lightly. He smiled. I knew he was awake. He murmured, "Good morning love."
I licked my lips an felt him harden. I raised an eyebrow at him. His hands were trailing up and down my leg. I slid my other leg against him slowly. His eyes focused on me. He rolled a new condom on and turned me around.
"Teasing is not nice!", he growled in my ear as he slid into my ass. I gasped into the pillow. He sat up pulling me with him. He held my hips in place as he fucked me. I climaxed quickly and he rolled to the side. He threw the used condom off as I fell to the bed.
Before he could slide another one on, I was on top of him. I took his erection into my hand and stroked him lightly. He groaned. I moved my hand faster. Blaise was breathing heavily. I grinned in satisfaction. I stopped. I slid down his body and took his cock in my mouth.
Slowly at first. Licking and teasing him. I bobbed my head down his length slowly. His hands were in my hair guiding me. I swirled my tongue around him. I heard him groan and his cock twitched. I had an idea. I hummed against his cock as deep throated him. Blaise grunted and came. I swallowed every last drop. I gave his cock a final lick.
I lifted my head. His eyes were glazed over in lust. He quickly snapped out of it. He looked at me slyly. He pulled me up to him. "I can't wait any longer.", he groaned. I felt him push inside of me without putting a condom on. He rolled my hips down his length.
He ran a thumb across my clit as we sped up. He flipped us over. "I'm sorry.", he whispered. I shook my head. "Just keep going.", I told him. He went faster. I arched my back and moaned in his ear as an orgasm hit me. He was pounding into me so hard I thought the bed might break.
He kissed the sensitive spot on my neck. We climaxed and he fell lightly on top of me. I had legs around his waist as he finished. I looked into his eyes. "I love you Charlotte Black.", he whispered. "And I you Blaise Zabini.", I answered.
He slid out of me. I gasped and gave a slight whine. He smirked. He picked me up and carried me to the bathroom. "We need to get ready to go love. you need to be at the airport in two hours.", he told me. "That's more than enough time.", I purred.
