Chapter 13 New Experiences

I return to Hogwarts and settle back in the routine of classes. I'm anxious to have my first lesson with Professor Boot before the younger students get back from Christmas break. I make it down to his office ten minutes before and knock on the door.

"Come in," a deep voice calls out. I open the heavy door and ready my wand for what Professor Boot had for me. I take two steps into the classroom and see that it's pitch black. There was no moonlight through the windows, they hat to be covered. It felt like a window was left open because the temperature in the classroom was what it probably felt like outside in the winter night. I froze. I wanted to cast a spell, Lumos perhaps to give myself some light, but no words would escape my mouth. My pulse rapidly increased to a dangerous level.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" a jet of red light shoots out from the blackness and hits me square in the shoulder whipping my wand out of my hand. It sails into the night and I hear a small tap as it lands in Professor Boot's hand. I instantly feel foolish for getting so easily distracted. "One must always be on guard especially when one does not know what to expect," Professor Boot proclaims.

"I'm sorry Professor Boot, won't happen again."

"Why were you so easily disarmed?"

"I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"Answer the question."

"I have a lot on my mind from break."

"Anything else?"

I sigh and decide to be honest. "The darkness and the cold threw me off."

"Why?"

"…it transported me back to the night of my first-year exams." His eyes softened as he took a step towards me.

"Then that's where we'll start. You won't be able to defend against attackers if your mind isn't clear. You sensed that I was up to something and you were ready before you even opened the door. We'll start with the environment. Go out to the corridor."

The rest of the night I went back and forth from the hallway to the classroom. The room changed each time to try and throw me off. One time it looked like Elsa from Frozen covered everything in ice, another time it looked like the Forbidden Forest and another looked like a unicorn had vomited everywhere with rainbows. Each time I entered, Professor Boot shot out a spell from a hiding place and I had to dodge it. After a few times of successful dodges I started to return fire. The evening went on with dives, dodges and hits. I had sweat dripping down the sides of my face and my robes felt five pounds heavier.

"It's time to call it a night. I hadn't anticipated staying after eleven." I glance at the big clock on the wall and shock hit me to see it was already 11:15pm.

"I'm sorry Professor Boot, I didn't realize."

"Don't. You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun." I laugh. "You've improved greatly just in the short amount of time. Your homework is to practice your aim. You should sense where the threat is and be able to cast your spell in 360 degrees. I will see you again the third Thursday in January." I hand him my essay as I retrieve my things. He pats me on the back and we walk out of his classroom. He escorts me back to Ravenclaw tower.

"Thank you, Professor Boot. I really appreciate everything you've done for me."

He nods with a smile and simply says, "Have a good night Ms. Aikron."

On New Year's eve, an owl swooped down and dropped a small package next to my breakfast plate. "Late Christmas gift?" Ian asks from across the table. I shrugged, "No idea." I quickly run through the names of people from Christmas that I exchanged gifts with and could not think of anyone I forgot. I open the small parchment attached to the box and read.

~ Open in privacy ~

"Ooh I'm intrigued now" Maggie says reading it over my shoulder.

I swat her away, "As long as it's not a Howler, I'll open it later in privacy."

Maggie pouts, "No fun, but you will tell us what it is or who it's from later, right?"

"We'll see,"

"You say that to your kids when the answer is no, don't you?" Derek chimes in.

"Quick learner." I wink at him.

"Oh come on! Please!" Maggie whines.

"Yep, you sound just like my eight-year-old. Anyway, has anyone started the essay on mandrakes for Herbology?" I ask changing the subject from the mysterious package.

"Yes, do you need help?" Selena offers.

"Most likely, I definitely don't have a green thumb so I'm probably gonna need all the help I can get."

That night when everyone went to the small New Year's party the professors put together, I headed up to the dorm. I wasn't really in the social mood anyway to the others disappointment. As much as I wanted to celebrate, I thought, this is the perfect time for some peace and quiet and much needed me-time. The little package on my night stand catches my eye. I sit on my bed and untie the twine. The thick paper falls to the side revealing another small note on top of a small deep brown box.

It's time for you to lighten up. I promise you will feel better.

That was it, no name, signature or initials. What the hell was that suppose to mean? I carefully open the box. Inside is this smooth round ball with one flat side about the size of my palm and what looked like a small arm that came out about six inches that formed the letter U back up to the ball similar to a hook. I pick it up expecting it to feel heavy because it looked solid but it was light as a feather. I examine it closer to try and find clues on what it is. I look back at the note and notice more writing. I put the thing on my bed as I flip the note over and read two words.

Tremo

Averte

A spell? I grab my wand, aim at the object sitting on my quilt and say "Tremo." It instantly starts vibrating. I'm off the bed in a second. I quickly grab the note and say "Averte" then glance at the door hoping no one heard anything. The toy ceases. Who the hell sent me a vibrator?! I can't believe there are vibrators in the wizarding world. Well, why wouldn't there be? Witches can have some play time too. Oh my god, who the hell sent me a sex toy? And they said I need to use! I don't know if I should be insulted or thankful.

I rack my brain trying to think of who could have possibly sent me this not taking my eyes off of it as if it would leap into the air if I did. My kegals involuntarily clench. I blush and realize I can't kid myself, I want to try it out. I glance at the clock and it reads eleven o'clock. The others will easily be down at the party for at least another hour. I lock the door even though any of them could get in, it would give me a split second to make it presentable. I climb in bed and peel off my sweats leaving only my underwear. I pick up the toy in one hand and my wand in the other. I cast the spell and it starts to quietly vibrate. It's a stronger vibration than I would normally start with back at home but it's a familiar soothing in my hand. I slowly trace it along my inner thighs feeling my tightness grow and knowing that I need some release.

I slowly tease myself by bringing it closer to the top of my mound but back down as the vibrations sends chills down my spine. I slide it under the thin fabric and rest it right above my sweet spot. As if the toy read my mind, it starts a wave rhythm. It would start very softly and then increase speed and intensity and then dip back down to near nothing. I close my eyes just feeling the waves course through me, relaxing my tight muscles but engaging my inner intimate muscles.

After a few minutes I remove it and bring the arm to my lips. Feeling the soothing vibrations I gently open my mouth and slowly slide the arm in. I close my eyes.

I see a muscled forearm next to me and hear a gruff, "Take me, all of me."

I taste the head of the ball and feel the tip enlarge a little as I stroke it delicately with my tongue. The vibrations make my lips tingle as I slide it in and out of my mouth with my lips wrapped tightly around the narrow base. I finally take it out and place it back where it was under my underwear.

I now see a beautifully toned back with tight muscles ready to burst through.

The arm is wet now as I move it up between my legs. I push it gently against my opening invading my most sacred space and there's light resistance. My slick lips part slightly as if welcoming an old friend with open arms.

I lower my eyes and see the chiseled backside of an Adonis. The glutes are nicely shaped sitting on top of tight hamstrings of the thigh and I lick my lips in lust.

I gasp as the vibrations return to waves resting on my aroused nub. I feel the tip inside my core enlarge like it did when it was in my mouth. I begin moving it out just to the point where the tip is about to feel air and then push it back in. I spread my legs farther as my toes curl and I have to stifle my moans with the sweats I took off. I arch my back as I feel the toy reach deeper in me. I push it inside as far as I can take and then flip over onto my stomach. The vibrations are sending me close to the edge so I pull back. I want to ride this out longer.

I feel his rough hands on my hips grabbing as if he owned me.

The heat is ever increasing as I raise my hips up in the air and rest my head on the bed arching my back. The toy hits my core just right but I want more, I need more. I'm almost there.

I see striking gray eyes as smooth as steel.

An explosion inside me sets off a chain reaction. Fireworks flow through from my core to my nipples, down to my toes. I let out an agonizing moan that I've been holding back for months. My body falls to the bed as I lay in the aftershocks of my much-needed release. I carefully remove the toy from my swollen nether regions. My center is pulsing and sensitive to the touch. I hear my labored breathing. Gray eyes? No… please tell me I didn't imagine him.

I look over at the clock and see that I have plenty of time before anyone comes up. I quickly put my clothes back on and grab the toy as I head to the bathroom. I clean it and myself before I head back to the bedroom. My glorious orgasm is quickly squelched at the thought of who I had just fantasized. I don't even care who sent it to me but who I had just pictured as I came.

A bunch of loud bangs can be heard just outside the window. I glance up and see colorful fireworks lighting up the night sky. "Happy New Year, new year, new me." I glumly say to myself. I bury the toy away in my suitcase vowing not to use it again. Ah, but it felt so good. That was the best orgasm I've had doing it myself. I start pacing the room.

I feel ashamed but why? So what that I pleasured myself thinking about someone. He is an attractive man who has only showed me kindness. That's what it was, a fantasy, just a fantasy, no more.

The finale of fireworks goes off and I hear a bunch of roars. I look out the window and see a green and red dragon in lights circling each other. They perform a mesmerizing ballet gliding across the night sky. And then shoots out fire out of their outstretched mouths. I can't help but smile, "It is a New Year."

About 10 minutes go by and the girls walk back into the room.

"Oh, you should've been down there Lina! The fireworks were amazing!" Maggie exclaims.

"I've never seen fireworks like that before. There were animals in the sky! Animals! Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Lara says as she runs to me and gives me a big hug. The petite blonde was smiling from ear to ear.

"Wait, where's your other half?" I noticed Kyra is missing.

She blushes and replies, "Oh, she's having some one-on-one time with Ian."

"Ohhhh, good for them," I casually saying trying to hide the blush on my face.

"It was funny seeing the guys get so excited about them too. Usually guys don't think fireworks are fun unless they're doing Roman candle wars." Maggie explains.

"Well, they are magic fireworks, how could anyone be bored with them?" Selena says justifying the guys. I smile at her seeing how far she has come from her shy self.

"Hey, you opened it!" Maggie's eyes grow wide looking at my night stand. "What was it? Who sent it to you? Can I see it?" My eyes dart to where she was looking and I grow flustered. How could I have forgotten to throw out the box and wrapping? Maggie walks over and picks up the card. "It's time for you to lighten up. I promise you will feel better. What? No signature?"

I'm next to her in lightening speed as I snatch the card out of her hand before she can turn it over and see the spells. "I-I d-don't know who sent it to me. It's still a mystery."

"Well, what was it? Maybe we can help you figure out who it was from?" Shit! I didn't think of a cover story.

"Oh, it was just some chocolate. You know how that time of the month goes, chocolate cures everything." I try desperately to sound nonchalant as I pull a somewhat believable excuse out of my butt.

Maggie gives a dramatic gasp. "Sheesh, and you didn't save any for us? Well, I guess it didn't 'Lighten you up' like it claimed it would." Selena and Lara smile and shake their heads as I begin getting ready for bed.

I smile unashamedly as I lie in my bed staring up at my canopy. I do feel better. Thanks, Secret Santa.
