Somewhere Out There

~*~Chapter 2~*~

THREE YEARS LATER

Krista was in her bathroom, flicking her wand which put makeup on her face, did her hair, etc. Oh what a great thing being a witch, she silently smiled. She was preparing to head to her witching school, Hogwarts, for a job interview. It seemed Flitwick retired, and since she was best in his class for charm work, and her current job involved using a lot of charms, she was offered the job. Little did she know, though, that someone from her past was offered a job as well.

Percy stood in front of his mirror nervously. He was practising his speech he would give to Dumbledore, sure it would lead to him being hired. Since McGonnagall retired, he was offered the position of transfiguration teacher. He took one last approving look at himself, and apparated to Hogsmeade with a 'pop!'

Krista took one last look in her mirror, sighed, and apparated to Hogsmeade with a "pop!'

The village was bustling with students purchasing school supplies, robes, etc. The collision that took place next had little effect on how Hogsmeade's customers bustled about.

"Ow!" Krista and Percy yelled when they hit eachother. They both fell backwards with a hard thud on the ground.

"What happened?" Krista rubbed her head as she tried to clear her focus.

"Krista?" Percy breathed. Krista looked up to see the familiar red head holding out his hand towards her. She gratefully took it, but when she stood up she ended up falling into his arms from lack of balance anyways. He wrapped his arms around her to steady her, and they stayed like that for a moment without realising they forgot to let go. They quickly parted as if it didn't happen, and Percy rubbed the back of his neck.

"Percy Weasley, what a pleasant surprise, I'm so sorry, I must have apparated to the spot you were standing!"

"Oh, dear you were apparating too? What a coincidence! But, anyhow, what brings you to Hogsmeade?" Percy asked,

"I'm applying for a job in Hogwarts!" She stated excitedly. She saw him shift and realised that was the reason he was here too, she thought about how they were going to be competing for the same job.

"You applying for Tranfiguration position?" Percy asked wearily.

"No, I'm going for Charms teacher!" Krista was relieved.

"I didn't know Professor Flitwick retired!" Percy sounded shocked.

"Oh well, out with the old, in with the new!" She chuckled. It was all good hearted though, she held her former teachers in the highest regards. Percy had his mouth open wide for a moment, then caught on with the good heartedness of it and laughed too. They chatted for a bit more, mostly telling each other how the other had been since they last saw each other. (A/N: Much use of the word "other".)

Later that evening, after Percy invited Krista to join him for supper at The Three Broomsticks, they sat and ate their meals while talking more about their lives. Since Percy and Krista had not known each other well, they had much to tell.

"-since I was so good at charms, I presume, I was first to be offered the position."

"I have the same reason, except my job offer was for transfiguration. It is definitely a small world."

"It is!" Krista smiled and Percy smiled. Then Krista remembered something from her graduation night.

"Percy, I always wanted to know, why were you staring at me and so intent on standing beside me the night of our graduation?" Percy's smile disappeared from his face, but was soon brought back with a chuckle.

"Oh Krista, though we never talked much, I had somewhat of a crush on you." Krista lowered her head and blushed furiously, and wondered how Percy could be so open. She was snapped out of her reverie by Percy. "I'm sorry, it is getting late, it's been wonderful catching up with you Krista, goodnight." Percy being the gentlemen offered his hand to her and helped her get up. But when Krista stood up, she tripped and fell, Percy hurryingly trying to steady her, fell with her. Soon they were on the floor, when Percy noticed the bottle of wine balancing on the edge, ready to fall on Krista's face. He quickly shielded her face with his chest as the bottle fell and smashed on his back. He let out a manly cry of pain, and Krista quickly switched their positions so she could check on his back.

"Oh my god Percy! Your back is all bloody," Krista started, "Why did you cover me? Now your in pain! Oh Percy I feel so guilty!" Percy didn't say anything, just let in a sharp intake of breath.

"Please! Someone get help for his back!" Krista sat there helpless as he clutched the tablecloth now lying beside him. She looked around and then took his body now lying in a ball in her lap and began to rock back and forth shushing him. Percy clutched tightly onto her shirt and buried his head in her stomach. She began to rub his hair. Finally, a man came with some lotions and a potion to take away the pain. He muttered a spell with his wand and the glass in Percy's skin flew out. He gave Krista the potion and told her to give it to him. She felt so stupid, she could of at least performed the spell on his back, she was training for Charms professor anyways. He then bandaged up his back, and gave Krista the lotion, and told her to put it on his back when they left. She tried to tell him she didn't live with him, but he just left bidding good luck for his back. Percy looked up from her stomach and she could tell he felt rather silly for making such a scene. He got up and yelped in pain as his skin moved when he stood up. She steadied him and they left.

"Oh Krista, I feel like such a fool!" Percy buried his face in his hands and moaned.

"It's perfectly alright, you do have horrible cuts all over your back, I'm sure it's expected to make a little scene at least." She smiled at him, then started again. "I'll apparate with you back to your house, he told me I have to put this on your back anyways. Then I'll leave, k?"

"You might as well apparate with me." Percy said, and Krista saw almost a pleading in his eyes. She shook it off, just being stupid, and asked how they were to do this.

"Well, uh, just kind of, hold on to me I guess.." Before he could stop Krista had latched herself onto him, and he could tell she was nervous about this.

"I can apparate fine by myself, but when I do it with others I get all sick." Krista muttered, a little embarrassed.

"No need to be embarrassed Krista, many people get sick while doing it with others. Just hold on tight, I'll make sure you don't get ill." Krista smiled into his chest, careful that he didn't see. He muttered the name of his home and they were off.

Krista could feel a tug at her stomach, and thought she was going to let go of Percy and go totally astray. He seemed to notice this, because his grip tightened around her stomach. Soon enough, they were in his house.

It was fairly small, perfect for a couple. It had large glass windows in the front, and in the inside it looked like a cabin. She thought it was very home-y. There was a blue couch, and matching blue seat in the living room, with a glass coffee table. The kitchen was to her left, with blue marble counters, with pots and pans hanging from the hooks under the counters. She smiled.

"Ok, well Krista, I'll take you into the living room, you can put that lotion on my back, and you can stay for some coffee if you'd like.."

"That would be nice, Percy." Percy smiled and realised he was still holding onto her. They quickly let go and walked through his door.

"Ok, well Percy, please take off your shirt and lay on the couch."

"Oooooooh Krista..." Percy winked and she laughed and nudged him in the arm. He playfully pouted and rubbed his arm and she giggled again and dragged him to the couch.

"Krista, aren't you eager!" This drew even more laughter from Krista as she sat on the couch. She motioned for him to take off his shirt, and he looked rather nervous, and turned around, so she couldn't see his chest. He peeled off his tattered shirt and laid down on the couch. She moved to his side and looked rather embarrassed. She undid the bottle that said "Colonel Custard's Cure for Chronic Cuts" that had a picture of Colonel Custard on it. He looked at her and smiled, winked, and then went back to posing on the front. She poured some of the misty purple substance on Percy's back and she felt him breathe in rather harshly from the cold of the lotion. She began to rub it into his back and Percy let out a soft moan she realised he mustn't of known he did. She felt herself tremble at his moan and began to rub a little harder and slower into his back. She closed her eyes and shivered. She noticed Percy move as he sat up and she felt to strong hands on her arms. He pulled her closer and kissed her. Her hands, wet with the potion, went to his back and started rubbing again. She noticed this was a big connection to his pleasure and kept rubbing, as he kept moaning into her mouth. Then, Percy stood and picked Krista up. He gently placed her on his couch and laid on top of her. He began to fiercly kiss her, as she sought out his back again. She felt for any signs of cuts, and realised the lotion had cleared his back up completely. At that moment, Percy started trailing kisses down her neck and she moaned as she dug her nails into his healed back. This only seemed to drive him further. Krista squirmed under him and he took it as a lacking of comfort and got up. He looked down and saw she had her eyes closed and she looked aroused. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked, the truth was, he never got over her after they left Hogwarts.

"Mmmm, Percy, please, you have to-" She stopped as he claimed her lips again. He picked her up in his arms and took her towards the stairs. She huddled herself against his chest, as though she was going to fall, and he kissed her head as he opened his bedroom door. He practically ran to his bed and threw her on. She giggled as he jumped on the bed and flashed her a sexy grin she would of never thought capable of Percy. He got on top of her and put his legs on either side of her waist and bent down to her. His hands trailed her body furiously trying to get off her robes, though it was hard with her arms all over his flesh exposed back and his face pressed hard against hers. They both laughed nervously at this as she motioned him off her and began to disrobe. Percy sat anxiously, watching her every move, then looked down at his arousal. She seemed to notice to.

She was extremely nervous, and had her head hung low. She felt Percy brush his fingers along her chin and gently pull it up to face him. He smiled sincerely and she smiled back, all her nervousness gone. This boy, no, this man, had caring in his eyes. He wouldn't let her get hurt. She was now stripped down to just her underwear. Percy carefully unzipped his pants and took them off. He groaned when they rubbed against his arousal, and Krista felt herself get weak at the mere sight of it. He, now in his red silk boxers, 'Percy Weasley wears red silk boxers!' Krista thought, stepped forward to her and held her. He kissed her forehead lightly and began to unhook her bra. In 2 seconds, it was off. God, where did this man get so talented? He stepped back to admire her and she felt herself blush, and could swear her whole body was red. She looked up to see him stripping himself of his boxers. 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!' She thought as now this incredibly good looking boy was standing naked in front of her. She slowly took off her panties and now they both stood naked in front of eachother. Percy, out of the blue, swept her up again and put her on the bed. After that, their loud moans and screams of pleasure filled the house for quite a while.

Krista awoke the next morning to find herself tangled in Percy's arms. Ah, the few moments before she remembered why she was there. She thought she was going to scream, when she remembered what had happened last night, she surely did enough screaming then. Gods, he was *SO* good. She smiled at that thought and buried her head in Percy's chest. He smelled so manly, so good. She shuddered and Percy, in his sleep, unconsciously wrapped his arms tighter around her to keep her warm. What he didn't know, she was plenty warm already. She slowly drifted back to sleep.

Percy awoke and panicked when he saw Krista in his bed, wrapped tightly in his arms. Then he remembered what had happened the day before, how a coincidental apparating accident had led to what they did last night. Oh my god, he remembered. What they did. He shuddered at the thought of what they had done last night. Krista must of taken this as his being cold, because she snuggled closer to him. He smiled into her hair and fell back asleep.

An hour later, they both awoke.

"Good morning, Percy." Krista whispered with her droopy, tired eyes. She looked so cute!

"Good morning, Krista, did you sleep well?" Percy asked, genuine care in his voice. Krista sighed, he was adorable!

"I slept excellently, considering I was comfortable in your arms all night, and totally exhausted from what you did to me!" She winked, and Percy smiled a big toothy smile and blushed. She laughed and kissed his forehead, before getting up. Percy felt cold where she had deserted him. He dragged himself out of bed and she looked behind herself to his naked body and gave a catcall towards him. He turned around and she smiled cockily at him. Then, he jumped over the bed to her and picked her up and twirled her around. She giggled and pleaded to be put down.

"Percy! Put me down! Hehehe!" She squealed.

"As you wish, m'lady!" Percy said, mocking a knights voice, and dropped her on the bed, him coming with her.

"Percy! Not -oh- now! Oh Percy we -mmm- can't!"

"Why not?"

"Because we both have interviews!" Percy squeaked and got up quickly. He began to dress furiously and flicking his wand everywhere in a panic to find his clothes. Krista laughed, and as though it required no effort at all, picked up all her clothes and got dressed. Percy, after getting dressed in a hurry, watched her put on her clothes and sighed, he preferred her the other way.

Soon they were ready to go, and Percy motioned his head and Krista went from the kitchen and held onto him, not unlike before, although Percy was a little more gropier (A/N: Not even a word, I know, but it just sounds so right, lol) than before. 'HOGSMEADE!' He said, and they were off. Again, Krista felt sick and Percy held her closer with his hands tightly wound around her back. Soon they were back in Hogsmeade, walking off towards the school.
