The Power of Four: A Coven's Tale

C16: The Room Of Requirement

Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters

As the months progressed into November, the mood inside of Hogwarts slowly deteriorated into glumness, mostly because of Umbridge's stupid enforced rules even outside of her classroom, having been named High Inquisitor by Fudge after a falling out with Dumbledore about her disciplinary practices.

This meant that both Fabian and Luna had to watch every move they made, since one of the first rules Umbridge had implemented was that male and female students should stay separated by eight inches at all times.

Dumbledore did nothing of course, and that is why Hermione, Harry and Ginny had started plotting to start their own defense group. Gabrielle had been miserable because every attempt at befriending her mate so far had failed, and it had a definite effect on her mood so far, spending almost every weekend with her family in their room.

Today was Saturday and Hermione had invited Harry and Ginny over to their room to talk, since it gave them both peace to talk and the secrecy they needed since Umbridge did not know where their room was.

It would also serve another purpose of having the meeting here, since it would make sure that Harry would get his mind freed from any compulsion and memory charms, which they were sure Dumbledore had cast on him, and they were pretty sure he had cast at least a compulsion charm on Ginny.

Currently the four lovers were relaxing in their living room, Bellatrix relaxing in Fleur's arms, while Luna and Fabian were making out on the other side of the couch, while Gabrielle was testing some things in their Potions Lab.

Hermione was quietly reading at the table while Nymphadora tried to distract her lover by running her fingertips along her jean clad thighs. "Dora, I'm trying to read here."

"Sorry love, but I really can't help but being sexier than your book." Nymphadora said teasingly.

Hermione sighed and closed her book before kissing her lover deeply. "You are way more sexy than my book, but I need to find something to distract myself before Harry and Ginny get here. Umbridge will really be the least of our problems. If Harry is really under those charms, he will be out for Dumbledore's blood. I know him well enough to know that."

Nymphadora smiled and kissed her lover softly. "We'll be there for him every step of the way, 'Mione. Perhaps we can let him have a talk with Sirius come Christmas."

Hermione nodded and smiled at her lover. "We'll see what happens today love. If it so happens that Harry will be beyond pissed with the old man, I think we need to be there for him, after that we can see what happens.

Nymphadora smiled at her as she parked herself in Hermione's lap, the brunette wrapping her arms around her lover. "Don't worry so much, my love. I can practically hear the wheels in your head turning."

Hermione smiled and rested her head on Nymphadora's shoulder. "Because I worry about everything love. I want answers from Dumbledore and I am afraid we aren't going to get them."

Nymphadora smiled and kissed her lover's cheek. "Don't worry love. We'll get those answers soon enough. It will take time above anything else. First we have to deal with Umbridge."

Hermione smiled at her when there was a knock on the door. "Well, there is no time like the present to find out if our wards work. If anyone would have been put under memory charms, it would be Harry." She said as she stood and made her way to the door.

She opened it with a smile when she saw her two best friends. "Good morning you two. I hope you two are having a good weekend?"

Harry smiled at her. "Hey 'Mione, so far it's been good, I hope you are having a good weekend as well?"

Hermione nodded and stepped aside to let them in, both Harry and Ginny clutching their heads as they walked into the room, their eyes glazing over a little.

"What just happened?" Harry asked softly once he had regained the ability to speak.

Hermione smiled and pulled him into a hug. "We'll explain in a minute Harry, I promise. How are you feeling?"

"My head feels a lot clearer for some reason. Like I have just woke up from a long night sleep." Harry said softly as he accepted a glass of water from the brunette.

Hermione smiled at him. "And what about you Gin?"

"I feel the same, and somehow I feel things I have never felt before. What's going on 'Mione?" The redhead asked softly.

Hermione smiled and led them to the couch. "I think Fabian and his lovers can explain this better than I can, since they discovered it and has affected us all in different ways."

The two nodded as they sat down, and to Hermione's surprise Ginny didn't take a seat next to Harry.

Fabian and his lovers then repositioned themselves a little, so that they could actually face their friends. "We found out that not only the Dark Lord is our enemy here, all of us in this room have been affected by Dumbledore in some way. He has cast both memory and compulsion charms on all of us for the sole reason of control. He has orchestrated the rape of my mother, the dead of Luna's mother, Bellatrix' imprisonment and as we discovered, the death of your parents. Because of that and our Coven bond, we figured it would be a good idea to cast some of our Coven's created wards to check and purge both memory and compulsion charms. Dumbledore wanted to control you because of the Potter funds and the fact that you were the Heir to the Black Family."

Harry sighed softly. "I should have known there was something going on. I just can't understand how someone supposedly on the Light side could do such a thing."

Hermione smiled at him. "That's not all he did though Harry, it turns out I am not a Muggleborn at all. I am actually Fabian's half sister after his birth father raped my mother Andromeda, and altered both of our memories and hid me in the Muggle world with the Grangers, the same people who disowned me for being gay."

Harry smiled at her. "I know that feeling 'Mione. The Dursley's would kill me if I told them the truth."

"Do you mean you are gay too Harry?" Ginny asked softly.

He nodded at her. "I'm sorry Gin, but yes, I think I have always known but up until a few minutes ago I did have feelings for you."

Ginny smiled at him. "It's okay Harry, I admit that I also have feelings for another, who happens to be a girl, but I do hope we can remain friends."

"Of course we can, I do care a lot about you Ginny, just not romantically." Harry said with a smile.

Ginny smiled and hugged him. "I care a lot about you too Harry."

Harry smiled before turning back to Fabian. "You said that I was the Heir to the Black Family, does that mean I am not anymore?"

Fabian smiled at him. "Since it works on seniority, the moment we discovered Hermione was a Black, she became the new heir, being the oldest of our generation now."

Harry smiled at that. "I understand, but would it be possible to talk to Sirius at some point? I would like to know some things none the less."

Fabian nodded at him. "We can easily set that up, but we need to make sure Sirius hasn't been put under memory charms as well, but at some point during the Christmas holidays I am sure we can set that up."

Harry nodded at that. "That's more than fine, but shall we get down to the reason we came here today? Namely how we are going to deal with Umbridge."

"We don't 'ave to do a lot 'arry. She will dig 'er own grave soon enough, and with that we can 'it two birds with one stone. Dumbledore and Umbridge will not get away with the things they 'ave done to everyone." Fleur said with a smile.

"Still, we need a way to learn what she refuses to teach us. We need to be ready when Tom comes back in force." Harry said softly.

"I agree, it will only help us if we are ready for whatever Tom will throw at us. I think if we do a little bit of research, we can find a room where we can train in peace." Fabian said with a smile.

Luna smiled at him. "I think I might have an idea love. Remember when Lady Helena told us about that room where everything is hidden? We could use that for practicing, but given everything we should be very careful on who we ask to be a part of this."

Ginny smiled and nodded. "That rules out my brother then, because he has been going crazy that Hermione won't give him the time of day anymore."

"Ron buys into that stuff Dumbledore spouts all the time, like we all did at some point. he's becoming someone I don't even recognize anymore." Harry said softly.

"I'm sure Dumbledore has something to do with that, but I think that room might be a very viable option. Perhaps we should ask Lady Helena where we can find this room. I don't remember her telling us that." Fabian said as he pulled the blonde closer.

Luna smiled at him. "We'll go and ask her tomorrow. The sooner we can actually get a location, the better it will be for everyone. Students need the practical knowledge of Defensive spells."

He nodded and kissed her cheek softly. "So, now that we have that out of the way, I think there is someone who wants to talk to you Ginny, if you are okay with that." Fleur said with a smile.

Ginny nodded as the blonde stood and walked towards their bedroom. "Gabrielle is waiting there isn't she?" The redhead asked softly.

Bellatrix smiled and nodded. "She is. We thought there was something when Gabrielle came to us a few days ago. After what we discovered from Dumbledore we knew he needed a way to control Harry here at school, and given your mother's loyalty to him, he used you to do it, no matter what consequences it might have."

Ginny smiled as the bedroom door opened and the two blondes walked out, both Ginny and Gabrielle smiling when they saw each other. "Hey Gabby, your sister told me you wanted to talk."

Gabrielle blushed and nodded as she took a seat next to the redhead. "I did, but we can wait for a bit if you don't want to talk now."

Ginny smiled and took the young blonde's hands in her own. "I think we've put this off long enough, and I want to say sorry for pushing you away."

Gabrielle smiled at her. "It's okay. I'm just glad we have the chance to talk about everything now."

The redhead smiled and nodded, scooting closer to the blonde, but saying nothing for now, since she was more than content to be in the petite blonde's presence.

"There is one more thing we wanted to tell you today Harry, because of the Coven bond I share with Fleur, Bellatrix and Luna, we have been granted gifts, and mine is to feel people's emotions, and I get a very distorted image of yours. Do you know why that is?" Fabian asked softly.

Harry nodded at that. "I have been having these weird dreams recently, so that might be the cause of it."

Luna gave a soft gasp and Fabian pulled her close as her eyes glazed over. "There is a piece of the Dark Lord inside of you Harry. I saw him trying to manipulate it." She said once she came back to reality.

Harry quirked an eyebrow at that. "Luna is a Seer, Harry. Thanks to her visions we know that Dumbledore has screwed with everyone. Bellatrix is a Telepath and Fleur is a Healer, and I am and Empath. These were the gifts bestowed to us by our Coven." Fabian said softly.

"Would it be too much to ask to see if we can remove it?" Harry asked softly.

Fleur smiled at him. "Of course not 'arry. I can take a look at what is plaguing you."

He smiled and moved a bit to take a seat next to her. Fleur then put her hands on his temples and felt something dark in his mind, and for some reason it felt familiar.

She then called upon her gift to expel the dark influence. "My loves, I need your 'elp with this. It is too strong for me to 'andle alone."

Fabian, Luna and Bellatrix gathered around her and laid a hand on her shoulders and back, sharing their magic with their lover.

Even with that influx of magic, Fleur had trouble purging the dark influence from Harry's mind, but eventually she managed to do so, falling back against Bellatrix' arms when she pulled back from Harry. "I don't know what zat was, but it is gone now. I 'ave never felt somezing as dark as zat."

Harry smiled at her. "Whatever it was, I feel much better now. Thank you very much Fleur, you have saved me again."

Fleur smiled at him. "Don't mention it 'arry. We are even since you 'ave saved my sister from the lake."

Harry only smiled at her. "Do you think it could have something to do with Voldemort's return?"

"It might very well be connected to that or the way you defeated him so many years ago. We will have to do some research on that, but I promise to keep you informed of that." Fabian said with a kind smile.

Harry nodded and smiled at them. "Thank you. It means a lot to me that you are all so willing to help me."

"You're family Harry, and we will do anything for family. Once we have made sure that Sirius is free of compulsion charms we will have him draft up papers so you can get away from your horrible Aunt and Uncle of yours." Fabian said with a smile.

Harry smiled at that. "That would be great, because I really doubt that Dumbledore has been truthful for my need of being there, but it's all the same to you, I need some time to process all of this."

They all smiled and nodded. "We understand Harry. It has been a lot of information that has been sent your way today." Fabian said with a smile.

Harry nodded before giving them all a hug. "I'll stay here for a bit longer if you don't mind Harry. Gabby and I have a lot to talk about."

"That's fine Gin. I'll see you two back in the common room later." He said before making his way back to the Gryffindor Dorms.

"We'll let you two talk in peace. Bella and I 'ave some potion recipes we need to try, and I think Fabian and Luna can think of something to do as well." Fleur said with a smile.

Fabian smiled at her. "We'll go and see Lady Helena about the room. The sooner we do that, the sooner we can start our training."

Fleur and Bellatrix smiled and kissed them softly. "Be careful for that bitch and don't get sidetracked too much."

Fabian and Luna smiled at them. "We won't, at least we hope we won't. We'll just go and see if she wants to talk to us and then we'll come right back, and to make sure the Umbitch won't give us shit, we'll keep to her rules for now."

The two women smiled at them and gave their lovers a last kiss before Fabian and Luna walked out of the room, making their way to Ravenclaw Tower.

As they walked through the halls, Fabian and Luna noticed how empty the halls were for a Saturday. They walked side by side, but with plenty of space between them should Umbridge see them. "It seems that woman has really sucked the life out of the school already." Luna said softly.

He smiled at her. "Yes she has, but it'll come back once she has dug her grave."

Luna smiled at him, brushing her fingers against his. "Where do you think this will end love? given everything we have learned." She asked softly.

He looked around carefully before he answered, not wanting anyone to over hear that they could not trust. "I personally think that everything we know will be turned on its side."

She nodded at that, knowing they had to be careful with how much they said to each other in such an open space. "One thing I am very sure about though. While we are together, nothing can hurt us."

He smiled and stole a quick kiss. "That is one thing that will never change. The two of us have always worked so good together, and now with our lovers added to the mix, we can only do more good things, not just in school, but eventually for our entire community."

Luna smiled and nodded as they ascended the stairs of Ravenclaw Tower, and since everyone but them always avoided the hallway of Lady Helena, they felt confident enough to hold hands as they strolled through the corridor.

"Every time I see you two, it seems like you have become even closer. How are my two favorite students?" Lady Helena asked as she floated into view.

The two smiled brightly at her. "We have been really well Lady Helena, thank you for asking. Some would also say that we can't become closer these days."

The ghost smiled and floated herself to sit down on a bench. "That sounds like there is a story to be told, and given the woman you introduced to me last year, I am very curious about what is going on."

They smiled at her. "It is quite lengthy, so we'll give you the condensed version. Fleur is still my girlfriend, but so is Luna, and we also have my Aunt Bellatrix who is a part of our relationship. We found out that we share a Coven Bond and have been granted a lot of things because of it." Fabian said with a smile.

Lady Helena smiled at the two. "I have always had my a feeling you two were going to be a part of the new Coven when I learned of your last names. I'm glad the Fates have deemed it time for a new Coven to rise."

"That is also one of the reasons we have come to you today, besides catching up a little of course. We have missed you terribly over the last few months, but with Umbridge watching our every move, we've had scarcely little time to go about our usual business in the Castle." Fabian said with a smile.

Lady Helena smiled at them. "I understand. That woman has tried to undermine everything my mother and the other founders stood for."

"We'll stop her Lady Helena. That is a promise."

Lady Helena smiled and nodded. "I trust that you two together with your friends and Coven will make sure that the life returns to the school, but you two mentioned needing my help."

They smiled and nodded at her. "We were hoping you could tell us where the Room where everything is hidden is located. We want to use it to teach ourselves the spells that Umbridge refuses to teach us." Luna said with her patented dreamy smile.

Lady Helena smiled at them, knowing they would ask her this. "Look on the seventh Floor. But I do have to warn you. The one you now call Voldemort has hidden something in there. I would hate for it to harm you."

"We'll be careful, my Lady. There are many things we still wish to share with you with our mates present, but unfortunately we can't do that until Umbridge is gone." Fabian said softly.

Lady Helena smiled as her form flickered. "It seems my time is up for now. We will talk again soon."

The young couple nodded and bid their goodbyes before making their way back to their room. "So the seventh floor. That at least gives us somewhat of a location. There aren't many locations it could be up there." Fabian said softly.

Luna smiled at him. "I think that the entrance to the room is a lot like the room itself. It will show itself to us when we need it the most."

He smiled at her. "Perhaps Bella will know something more about it."

The petite blonde smiled and nodded as she got an idea. "Let's go there now love, the more we do now, the better it will be for us all."

He nodded as he felt some mischievousness from her, and he had always loved her mischievous side. "What are you planning Moon? I can feel you are up to something."

She smiled and kissed him softly. "It's a surprise love, but I can say that it will involve that room."

He smiled and as he followed her up to the seventh floor, even though he didn't know what exactly they were looking for.

Luna knew somewhat what they were looking for because she had done some research on the room she thought Lady Helena meant. Before Fleur came to Hogwarts for the Triwizard, she had been looking into hidden rooms where she could safely tell him about her feelings for him, and she had read about a room that only appeared when the users needs were highest, and she hoped that this was the room they were looking for.

They quickly turned into the corridor she had read about and she saw the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy and the trolls in their tutu's. "I've read about a room up here a couple of times and what we need to do to reveal it. I think this is the room we are looking for." She said with a soft smile.

He smiled at her as she paced in front of the wall across the tapestry, and after her third pass of the wall, a single door seemed to materialize in the wall, making Luna smile brightly as she led him into the room.

The inside looked like Luna's bedroom at the Rookery, albeit a bit bigger and a bit more luxurious. "What's this love?" He asked softly.

She smiled and stepped into his arms to kiss him deeply. "This is what I had imagined it to be when I had finally worked up the courage to tell you how I really feel about you. This is the Room of Requirement, the room that shapes itself to whatever the user needs. It was here that I had always envisioned us making love for the first time."

He wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "And now you want to recreate that first time in here?" He asked softly.

She blushed a little and nodded. "I would love that. As much as I love Bella and Fleur, I feel a bit robbed of our first time even though we were alone during that time. For once in my life I want to be selfish and have you all to myself."

Fabian smiled at that. "I won't deny that having you all to myself is very appealing, my Moon. I have always dreamed of making love to you in your room."

She smiled and kissed him softly as she pulled off her shirt, revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra today. "Then make love to me Fabian."

He smiled and rendered himself naked. "You will never have to convince me to make sweet love to you, my love. There are few things I enjoy more."

Luna smiled and led him to the bed as she vanished her pants, showing him the lacy pale blue underwear beneath it.

He swallowed heavily at the beautiful sight before him. "You're so gorgeous my Moon. You wear lace so well."

She blushed as she laid down. "Thank you love, but you should really thank Bella and Fleur, they convinced me to wear something like this for you. I told them on what I had planned should we find enough information on the room and they encouraged me to do something special for you."

He smiled and kissed her lovingly. "This is certainly special, my Moon, but to be very honest, I don't think this is your color. We could always go shopping when we go home for the holidays. We can treat it as a date."

She smiled at that. "I would love to go on a date with you when the holidays come. Perhaps we can convince Bella and Fleur to come with us, make it our first official Coven date, but I do believe we had something planned for right now as well."

He smiled and nodded as he started kissing his way down her body. "I'm sorry for not paying more attention to your needs, my love."

Luna moaned softly as she tangled a hand in his hair, needing his ministrations more than anything right now. "Fabe please, don't tease me. I need to feel you again." She said softly.

He smiled and nuzzled the wet patch in her panties before pulling them down slowly. "I'm sorry love, I'm just addicted to the taste of your body and I need to get my fix." He said in a husky tone.

She moaned at the tone of his voice as he nuzzled the small patch of pale blonde hair above her pussy. "You're not the only one addicted to their lover. I need my fix of you too."

He just smiled up at her as he took a long lick through her soaked folds, moaning softly at the divine taste of her juices. With one of his free hands he rubbed her clit in rhythmic motions.

Luna wanted this to last and shuffled backwards a little. "Fabe, I don't want this to end yet, let me taste you too."

He smiled and kissed her deeply, letting her taste herself on his tongue. "You know I will never say no to that, my love."

She smiled and stroked his cock slowly as she kissed her way down his body. "You're not the only one who knows how to tease, Fabian Black. It has been too long since I got to taste your cock undiluted by either Fleur or Bellatrix's juices. I want to take my time in loving you today, and that means we will not work to make each other cum for as long as possible."

He smiled and groaned as she licked the tip of his cock teasingly, flashing him a wink before she sucked his cock into her mouth and started sucking him off in earnest.

Fabian groaned and caressed her soft silk of her hair, needing something to ground him to reality as she brought him to heaven.

When she pulled back and smiled at him, he just couldn't help but pull her into a deep kiss. "I think we've danced around it long enough, my love."

"I'm ready Fabian, please make love to me." She said in a whimper.

He smiled and kissed her as he lined up his cock with her entrance, slowly sliding his cock into her tight wet heat. "It feels good to be home again."

She smiled and pulled him into a kiss as he slowly started thrusting into her, the two lovers moving together seamlessly as they fell into a loving rhythm. Luna wrapped her legs around his waist, wanting to keep him close as he moved inside of her.

Fabian felt she wanted something more from him today. "I can see the wheels in your head turning, my love. Is there something special you want."

She smiled and kissed him softly. "There are so many things I want to do with you, my love, but this is good enough for now."

He smiled at her as she flipped them over. "I love it when you ride me love. You're even more beautiful with you face scrunched up in ecstasy." He said lovingly.

Luna smiled and shifted her hips a little, like Fleur had taught her and she loved the groan that came from her lover. "Do you like that love?" She asked softly.

He nodded at her. "I love it, where did you learn how to do that?"

"Fleur taught me a few things she thought you would enjoy and I am very glad that you do. It is a bit different to when I practiced it with Fleur." Luna said with a smile.

He smiled and pulled her down into a kiss. "Is that what you two use the Potions Lab for nowadays?" He asked teasingly.

"While we are waiting for Potions to cool or to reach their temperature, yes we do. I still know very little about sex compared to Fleur and Bella, so I want to know as much as I can so I can be a good girlfriend to you." She said with a slight blush.

"And I am sure both Bellatrix and Fleur won't have any issues with teaching you everything you want to know, my love." He said lovingly.

She nodded and kissed her lover softly. "There are a few more surprises we have for you, but at least one of them will have to wait until we are completely alone."

He smiled at that. "I can't wait love, but I really can't hold it any longer. Your pussy is gripping my dick so well."

She smiled at that. "I'm close too love, and since you already made me cum four times, I think we would do well to rest a little after this one."

Fabian nodded and kissed her deeply as she moaned out her orgasm, while he at the same time painted her insides with his cum.

As they rode out their highs, he couldn't resist squeezing her butt a bit, making her squirm on top of him as she lifted her hips slightly to let his softening cock fall out of her pussy. "I love you Fabian."

"I love you too, my Moon, now and forever I will love you." He said softly.

She smiled and kissed him as she rolled off him, both of them basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking, both of them whispering sweet nothings to each other.

When after laying there for half an hour they had recuperated a bit, they went and got dressed, wanting to get back to their lovers to tell them the good news that they had found the room.

While Luna quickly touched up on her make-up, Fabian checked if the Hall was still deserted, which it thankfully still was, the two lovers quickly making their way back to their room with dreamy smiles on their faces.

The moment they stepped into their room, Fabian had to contain his smile. Nymphadora was asleep on Hermione's shoulder, and very much like he was used from her, she tried to get her lover naked.

"Hey Fabe, Luna, did you get any information?" Hermione said as she once again batted Dora's wandering hands away who were trying to snake their way into her pants.

"We found it, and it is out of the way enough that Umbridge won't be on our trails immediately." Fabian said with a smile.

Hermione smiled at them. "I'll let Harry know tomorrow, given that your cousin is already trying to get into my trousers, which does not bode well for tonight."

"I've shared a bed with Dora many a time and she is a very touchy sleeper, just poke her in the side and she'll stop. It'll be a trick worth remembering." Fabian said with a smile.

Hermione smirked and poked her lover in the side, and as expected Nymphadora pouted, groaned and rolled away a little, resting her hands neutrally on Hermione's legs.

"If you two are looking for Bella and Fleur, they're in the Potions lab, putting the final touches on one of the potions from the Chronicles, I believe the one that will let us share in Luna's visions." Hermione said as she rubbed her thumb along Dora's arm.

The two lovers smiled at her. "We'll go and see them then. We'll talk tonight during dinner."

Hermione nodded and smiled at them, not wanting to wake her lover up by giving her two friends a hug.
