Hold on to me, love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you
And I'm not afraid
Can you hear me
Can you feel me in your arms
A kiss is so much more when it's within your lover's arms. Their mouths and bodies were entwined in passion beyond passion itself.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Thoughts to end all thoughts, love to end all oaths of love. Their bodies slick with sweat, his arms around her, protecting her from hurting herself, or him...
I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears
Her teeth nipped at his lower lip and she dragged her tongue over his lower lip. He thrust harder, the sound of a high desert storm outside shielding his cries.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Her whispers in his ear and her gentle caresses... God, just her touch... it was enough to make him wild...
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you her
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there
Love....love....something neither he nor she had experienced
before.
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me
As you fade to black
Don't fade away...don't let me go...I've waited all my life
for you...I love you...
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Joint cries echoed through the house into the winds outside... cries that resounded all around the vast desert... cries of a man and a woman deeply...so deeply in love...

"Hey! Everyone! We're back!" yelled Bill and he tugged on the baggage and walked into Grimmauld place just in time to see his mother pop out of the kitchen and hit him hard on the head.
"Ow, MUM! What did I do?"
"I'll tell YOU what YOU DID! WILLIAM ARTHUR WEASLEY, YOU'RE HALF AN HOUR LATE! THE KNIGHT BUS WILL BE HERE ANY SECOND NOW!"
"OW, OW ,OW MUM! THE FLIGHT GOT DELAYED! MUGGLE TRANSPORT, REMEMBER!?!"
Molly immediately stopped hitting her oldest son when she saw her daughter in law come in. "Hello, dear. How was Egypt?"
Nikita blushed a brilliant red and cast a sideways glance at Bill who was grinning. They had christened every room in the house.
"It was...entertaining."
"That's nice to know dear, now please can you put the baggage outside? Bill is supposed to be taking you to Hogwarts by the night bus today."
Bill opened his mouth to argue about letting his wife go so early.
"NO WILLIAM! You HEARD Dumbledore! The girl has school!"

Being back in school was a drone on session after what she had shared with Bill back at their new house in Egypt. She had told him that with four new members of the family on the way, his apartment wasn't enough. Her mom had left her a more than substantial fortune not only to complete her education but to live a happy, healthy life. Where Bill's income didn't help, hers sure as hell did.
She was happy despite all the blood and tears and pain... she had a family... she had a brother who she knew cared about her, a husband who loved her more than life itself and a godfather who was more like a father to her. And she was going to give birth to the four most beautiful children in the world. She knew it.
Harry was happy for her.
And for himself for that matter.
The connection that he felt with his sibling he felt with no one else and somehow... somehow, this same connection made him feel like he was getting to know his father better.
Even though he had still not quite forgiven his father... the feeling in his gut still reminded him that James perhaps never loved Lily at all, even though he knew that wasn't true.
Sitting on his bed he sighed. "Why, Dad, why?"
Prongs Junior... in a joke, Sirius had christened him Prongs Junior... but did he want that title any more?
"You do..." whispered a voice in the back of his head. "You know you do."

Draco Malfoy watched closely as the pretty girl walked by into the potions class, her luscious body swaying in a way he found delectable.
After all, he was a red blooded male.
According to his father, he was meant to make her so furious that she would want to deal with him alone. Once she did try to deal with him alone, he was meant to cast a stunning charm carefully on her and they would bring her to the dark lord...
He sniggered.
What would make this more fun was that she was Potter's sister.
And a married woman. Married to a Weasley.
Nikita Gill was going to learn what comes out of rejecting Draco Malfoy.
Potions class was over, and Draco slipped away into an empty chamber next to Snape's dungeon, knowing that Snape had called Nikita away to discuss her next detention.
"So Hermione, what do you want to do in Hogsmeade this evening?" he heard Potter's voice.
"Oh, Nikita and I wanted to get some new sweaters, I guess we'll be meeting you guys in the three broomsticks later."
Oh, no...Nikita was not going to be going to Hogsmeade today Granger...she is going to be with me.
He heard a mumble that was unmistakably her and footsteps moving out of the dungeon. Quickly he pulled on his hood and reached out into the dungeon hallway.
He grabbed her waist from behind and covering her mouth, he pulled her into the chamber.
"You scream, I'll make your life hell."
Pushing her against the wall he removed his hood with one hand.
"Draco Malfoy." she whispered. "Let me go or I will kill you!"
He laughed and viciously pressed his lips to hers, prising apart her firmly pressed lips with his tongue. She kicked him hard in his shins but he didn't seem to even feel it.
"Keep your hands off me you-"
Instead he pushed her harder and let one of his hands roam over her body, letting it slide through the front of her robes.
When he came up to breath, her anger was so visible that she was shaking.
"What? Are you going to scream for your brother now?"
She shook her head and spat "I'm going to make you regret the moment you got this perverted idea in your head."
Without waiting for him to say a word, she gave a sudden hiss and Draco watched in shock as her features grew more crystalline and dangerously beautiful....her hazel eyes had a light of undead and her mouth sprouted long fangs that were possessed...
possessed...
He stepped back in horror...
"Possessed of a vampire..." she completed his thought for him, licking her lips hungrily and eyeing the nape of his neck that was bare.
"You want to play? Let's play..."
Malfoy was off like a shot, cursing his father for not telling him that the girl was a feeding vampire herself!

"You're kidding!" squeaked Ginny. "He tried WHAT on you?"
"He tried to do me. In the chamber next to the dungeons." said Nikita matter of factly. She had crossed her long legs and was sitting with Ginny on her dorm bed drinking hot cocoa. "I was about this close to biting him."
She sighed in regret, in an attempt to make Ginny laugh but Ginny didn't laugh. She fumed and turned her wand round and round in her hands. "Bill will kill him."
Nikita grinned idly "Do you know that just rhymed?"
"Fine. My Eldest brother will destroy that... asshole for trying to rape his wife! ANY BETTER?!"
Nikita sat up, her eyes flashing. "Look, you're being stupid. The important thing is that he didn't. He couldn't because he was afraid of me."
Ginny sighed and shook her head. "I can't see the logic behind this. Why did he choose to do this now? Why now?!"
She has a point. Why did he choose now? Probably because I was alone in Snape's potions class. I was the last one to come out... But how come Snape asked me to stay after class after all this time -
"Oh sweet Jesus Christ...Oh Christ..." her eyes widened as realization hit her.
Ginny's head snapped up.
"What?"
Nikita jumped off the bed.
"Get up!!!"

"Nikita, are you absolutely absurdly mad?! Spying on Snape?!" Ginny hissed at her as they sneaked quietly through the dungeons.
"Don't worry, even I don't want my only sister in law dead." said Nikita, distractedly.
It was almost dinner time and the dungeons had no lessons and were therefore, off limits.
Especially Snape's Chambers.
Silent murmurs were coming from the far side of the torch lit corridor that were Snape's rooms. Murmurs that Nikita felt sure were clues. There were two people in the room.
When they reached, Nikita gently pressed her palms on the already ajar door just pushing it far enough to listen...
"...he never told me she still fed!" that was unmistakably Malfoy's voice.
"You stupid little fool. She was just scaring you, I know for a fact that she doesn't feed anymore." That was Snape. Ginny gave her a little nudge and she put her finger to her lips as Ginny gave her a questioning look.
"How do you know about that?"
"I was THERE! I heard them TALKING! I have been spying on the Order ever since it began. God, boy, you infuriate me."
Ginny and Nikita stared at each other in horror. Ron had been right all along. Snape was trying to get the entire Order killed!
"But, Professor! Why on earth would she -"
"Draco, she was bluffing. Your father was right. You have failed as usual."
Malfoy's brooding voice asked sulkily "So what do we do now?"
A thoughtful voice that spoke quietly "WE won't do anything. Now everything that has to be done will be done by the dark lord himself."

"Professor! PROFESSOR!!!"
Minerva McGonagall stopped walking to the great hall as she heard two girls shrieking loudly. She turned and saw the small red head and the tall brunette running from a distance.
"Ginny Weasley, Nikita Gill, you will stop running THIS MINUTE!"
The girls skidded to a halt panting and puffing.
"Nikita, need I remind you that this is STRICTLY PROHIBITED in your condition?" said McGonagall with a reproachful look that clearly something Mrs. Weasley had taught her over the holidays.
"I must talk to Professor Dumbledore! Something terrible has happened!"
McGonagall brought the girls to her office and soundproofing the door she said "Go on."
Nikita began to talk... and when she finished she looked over at the older woman.
McGonagall was in a state of shock.
"You're...you're absolutely right child! I believe Severus is double crossing us!"
"I'm glad you believe me Professor, now can we tell Professor Dumbledore?"
McGonagall closed her eyes for a moment and then reopened them.
"I'm afraid that's impossible, child. Potter's Defense Association for Dumbledore was discovered. Professor Dumbledore is no longer in Hogwarts."
