It was an unusually silent and chilly Halloween night. It was so cold in fact that Paige could see her breath. Her and her team have been out early that evening because of the other schools arriving. Paige sits up in her usual tree in the Forbidden Forest and at three in the morning, Paige can see the familiar lantern in the distance. Paige jumps down from her tree and wraps her cloak tightly around herself as Severus approaches her.

"I'm assuming everything went smoothly with the other schools arriving?" Paige asks him as he removes his hood.

"Yes. The cup is set. Students 17 years or older have twenty-four hours to submit their names." He informs her.

"Should be interesting to see who get's chosen." Paige comments as she rubs her arms to warm them up.

"You look like you're freezing." He says, looking at Paige concerningly.

"Yeah, I got some bad intel on the forecast for today." She says with a smirk. "Didn't think the temperature was going to go down this much tonight."

Severus un-does his cloak and removes it from around his shoulders.

"Here." he says handing his cloak to Paige.

"You really don't have to do that." She replies, not wanting to be a burden. "It's only a few more hours."

"I insist." He says, forcing his cloak into her arms.

"Thank-you." She replies with a smile.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He says as he turns around to leave.

"Goodnight." Paige yells back to him, still smiling.

She climbs back up to her tree and gets back into her position on her branch. She drapes the cloak over herself like a blanket, feeling the warmth of it already. She smells his scent on it and a sense of calm washes over her.

When she gets back to her hotel room a few hours later, she pulls out his cloak from her bag. She climbs into bed with it, grabbing all the material and forming a sort of ball with it. She falls asleep, curled up with the cloak in her arms.

Paige wakes many hours later. She looks at her watch and panics at what time it was. She is supposed to be on the grounds in twenty minutes.
She quickly rushes to pack some warmer clothes in her bag and walks to the door. She stops when she notices Severus' cloak still on her bed. She sighs and walks over to her bed, grabbing his cloak and putting it in her bag, disappointed to have to part with it. She heads downstairs to the tavern where she spots her team eating their late-night breakfast at a table in the corner.

"Ah, there she is!" Ripley exclaims as Paige approaches the table.

"Sorry I'm late." Paige replies sheepishly as she sits down next to Ripley at the table.

"Did you just wake up?" Yankis asks her as she grabs a slice of toast off Ripley's plate.

"Yeah, I slept like a log." Paige comments.

"I was going to eat that." Ripley says to Paige as she spreads jam on the toast.

"I'm guessing you didn't hear the news then." Yankis says with a smirk.

"What news?" Paige asks before taking a bite into her toast and ignoring Ripley.

"The cup chose four Champions." He replies.

"Four? That doesn't make sense." Paige comments.

"It chose two Champions from Hogwarts." Hernandez adds.

"Who?" Paige asks, putting her toast back down on Ripley's plate.

"Some kid named Diggory, and Potter." Yankis replies.

"What? Potter isn't even old enough. How did he get entered?" Paige asks confused.

There was silence. Paige looks back and forth from Yankis and Hernandez, who both just shrug their shoulders.

"Weird." Paige says to them.

"Could just be that. Weird." Bobcat comments.

"Could be something, could be nothing." Paige says, thinking about the cup choosing two Champions from Hogwarts.

Ripley grabs the toast that she took a bite out of and takes a bite out of it as well.

"Maybe we should watch the perimeter of the first task just in case." Paige continues, grabbing the toast away from Ripley.

Paige shoves the rest of the toast in her mouth as Ripley glares at her while she slowly chews it. She swallows it with a smirk.

"What do you think Lieutenant Ripley?" she asks, still smirking at him.

Ripley smirks and turns to the team.

"Any objects to overtime?" He asks the team.

They were all silent.

"I'll get a date and location of the first task." Paige says grabbing Ripley's coffee cup from the table and putting it to her lips.

Ripley stares at her with his jaw open as she finishes the coffee.

"We can think of a game plan from there." She continues as she puts the cup back down on the table in front of Ripley.

Paige was pacing the bottom of the tree as Severus approaches his usual time.

"Is it true?" she asks as he stops in front of her, stopping her from pacing. "Potter was chosen as one of the Champions?"

"Yes." He confirms.

"How?"

"We don't know." He replies, sounding slightly annoyed. "Dumbledore says he has to compete."

"Can you tell Dumbledore we can set up on the outside perimeter for the first task for extra security if he wants us to." She asks him.

"I'll tell him." He answers, stepping closer to her.

"Oh, before I forget." Paige says as she kneels beside her bag.

She pulls out his cloak, stands back up and hands it to him.

"Thank you, again." She says with a smile.

He takes the cloak from her and drapes it over his arm.

"When is your next day off?" He asks her.

"This coming Saturday, why?" She asks with her eyebrow raised.

"Any plans?" He asks, leaning into her, his lips inches away from hers.

She bites her bottom lip and shakes her head no. He pulls away and turns away from her.

"Good. Don't make any." He says over his shoulder at her.

She wasn't even mad at him teasing her, she was more upset that she had to give his cloak back to him.

It was the day before Paige's day off. Severus had told her to meet him at the train station at five o'clock Saturday night.
She's sitting at the foot of her bed, looking at her now empty pack sack and all her clothes she packed for the mission on the floor.

"It will be okay if I show up in my combat boots, right?" Paige asks herself.

"You're not wearing combat boots on a date." Otakemaru replies sternly.

"It's not a date." Paige comments as she picks up a pair of grey sweatpants that are on the ground.

"You're not seriously thinking about wearing sweatpants right now, are you?" Otakemaru scoffs.

"What do you want me to do? Huh? I don't know what we're doing or where we're going." Paige replies in frustration.

She throws her sweatpants back down on the floor.

"I don't know if it's a date, or like a fuck buddy thing. It could just be a meeting for all I know." Paige continues as she flops backwards onto her bed.

"Well, what do YOU want it to be?" Otakemaru asks her.

Paige thinks about it for a few minutes.

"I'm going to have to go shopping." Paige says, sitting up from the bed,

"Atta girl." Otakemaru replies smugly.

Paige stands at the train station the next night, waiting for Severus. She is early, like always and wearing a light teal dress with thin dress straps and a flowy, ruffled medium length bottom. She wore a long black cloak to keep her arms and legs warm in the cold fall air. She wore her hair down, adding just some waves to it. She checks her watch and looks over towards the castle when it was five o'clock.
She could suddenly sense someone behind her. She slowly turns around and sees Severus standing about ten feet away.

"You're early." He comments, his eyes looking her up and down.

"Yeah, I like to be early." Paige says nervously as she tucks her hair behind her ear.

He holds out his hand to her.

"Are you ready?" He asks.

Paige looks at him for a moment before stepping forward and taking his hand. They suddenly disappear from the train station.

When things come back into focus, they are standing in a large field covered in tall grass with a gigantic glass building in the middle. The whole structure being made up of framed glass panels in different shapes and different sizes. Some of them even being a different color.
She looks at Severus.

"What is this place?" She asks curiously.

"I'll show you." He says, still holding onto her hand.

He leads her through the tall grass and towards the building. She watches as fireflies lazily drift by them in the dusk of the night.
He stops at the building in front of a set of double doors. He lets go of her hand and opens and holds the door for her, letting her walk in first. As she enters, she is immediately hit with the heat.

"Oh my god, it's hot as hell in here." Paige says fanning herself with her hand.

Severus follows her in, seemingly unaffected by the heat. Paige looks around the large, one room, open building. There were about ten large trees growing inside, all thick in foliage of their deep purple leaves with blue spots on them.

"These trees just grow inside here?" Paige asks Severus as they walk further into the building.

"Pretty sure the trees were here first, then the building." He remarks with a smirk.

As they approach one of the trees Paige notices the tiny spots on the leaves moving. She looks closer and sees they are tiny little blue butterflies resting on the purple leaves.

"It's unusually late for their migration." Severus explains when he notices she sees them. "They should have left a couple of days ago."

"I wonder why." Paige says as she leans in to get a closer look at them.

Paige could feel herself starting to sweat in her cloak. She unfastens it and removes it from around her shoulder. She drapes it over her arm and goes back to looking at the butterflies.

"You look…." Severus starts to say but doesn't finish his sentence.

Paige turns to look at him, then looks down at the dress.

"Should I have worn the sweatpants?" She asks him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, you just look… incredible." He confesses.

"Oh, thanks." Paige says blushing and turning away, unable to deal with the awkwardness of getting complemented.

"If you can't handle getting complements then why did you pick that dress?" Otakemaru hisses in her ear, hearing her thoughts about the awkward complement.

"I don't know this is all very new and confusing to me." Paige argues back in her head.

"It's so hot in here, no wonder the butterflies don't want to leave." Paige jokes as she fans herself again.

He walks up behind her, she quickly looks back at the leaves, trying to focus on the butterflies.

"So have you named them all yet?" Paige asks, trying to deflect her awkwardness with humor.

Paige gets a mental image of Otakemaru slapping his face with his hand and shaking his head.

"You don't like being told how beautiful you look?" Severus whispers in her ear.

"I'm just not really used to it I suppose." Paige admits truthfully, turning around to face him.

He steps back from her.

"Well, turn around then. Let me get a second look." He says to her with a smirk.

Paige drops the cloak in her arms and spins around quickly, humoring him and getting it over and done with.

"Still gorgeous." He says as he looks into her eyes.

Paige could feel her heart racing. She looks at the ground, blushing even more. Her legs wobble slightly in her heels, almost causing her to fall over and effectively ruining the moment.

"Guess I still should have worn the combat boots." Paige says continuing with her awkward jokes.

"You don't have to wear them if you don't want to." He says as he slowly starts walking around her.

Paige sighs with relief as she bends down to unclasp her uncomfortable heels. She slides her feet out from them and puts them on the grass growing that made up the floor. Severus continues to walk around her, like a wolf surrounding their prey.

"You don't have to wear that dress if you don't want too either." He says with hunger in his eyes.

She slowly reaches her arm behind her back to her zipper and intentionally unzips it painfully slow as she keeps her eyes on him. As soon as the zipper was at the bottom, she then slowly starts sliding the dress straps from her shoulder, one at a time, again very slowly. As soon as the dress falls to the ground, he was behind her. His ice-cold hands touching her hot skin like it was an oasis in a desert. She slowly turns around in his arms, looking deeply into his eyes. She kisses him softly before she slides down his body until she gets to her knees. She looks back up at him as she un-buttons his pants. She pulls them down, his dick rock hard in front of her. She grabs it with her hands gently, feeling it throb in her hand. She slowly puts her mouth over the head of his cock. Paige feels his hand move to the back of her head as she takes more of him in her mouth. He grips her hair as she struggles to take all of him without her gag reflex triggering, but she was addicted to the way his cock tasted.
He pulls her hair back, causing his dick to come out of her mouth. He kneels to her level, kissing her passionately as he gently pushes her backwards into the grass. His cold hands running up her thigh causing her to shudder. His hand moves to up to her waist and then to her breast, pulling her bra down and exposing her nipple. Paige moans as his mouth moves from her lips to her now exposed nipple, it turns hard as his tongue gently runs across it. She feels his hands move down to her hips and slowly started to remove her newly purchased thong. He slowly slides them down her thighs and legs. Paige frees one of her ankles from it before he puts his head between her legs. She gasps as his tongue slowly slides across her clit. She grips the grass and dirt below her as he moves his tongue faster and faster against her clit. She moans and wriggles underneath him as she comes closer and closer to climaxing.
She tightens her legs around his head as she reaches her peak. Her body shuddering from the pleasure. She couldn't even catch her breath before he rips the front of his robes open, all the buttons breaking off. He tosses his robes to the side and picks her up and sits her on top of him, with him still being in a seated position. She slowly lowers her hips down on him, his dick sliding into her. She kisses him as she moves her hips further down, taking all of him in her. She could taste herself as she slides her tongue in his mouth. His grips her butt-cheeks as she starts slowly pulling back up on his dick. He pushes her forward again, pushing himself back deeper into her. A bead of sweat trickles down her back as she thrusts into him again, his dick feeling amazing inside her. He puts his mouth back on her nipple as Paige gets closer to climaxing again. She throws her head back and moans as she climaxes again. She bites into his shoulder as he continues thrusting inside her, her body feeling so sensitive. She feels him tighten up underneath her, then feels a warm liquid start dripping out of her. She rests her head on his shoulder, no longer biting it.
After taking a moment to catch her breath she turns her head to the left, still resting her head on his shoulder. Her vision was slightly blurry from the euphoric daze she was left in, but she saw little blue dots all around them.

She sits up from his shoulder and looks up at all the blue butterflies flying all around and up to a hole in the ceiling.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Paige says, still looking up at the butterflies.

She looks back at him when he doesn't say anything.

"The most beautiful thing I've seen." He replies, his eyes locked on her.
