Chapter Three

Midnight Potions

Trivia gathered her ingredients carefully according to the recipe for her potion. She had gone practically mad from not hearing from Severus since he'd been gone, so she had set about making the potions in her new potions book Potions Through Out the Ages. Tonight she was making an Anti-Spell Potion, anything that was touch by it would automatically lose the charm put on the object, including humans. It was rather complex and had to be made under a full moon and steeped for exactly 30 minutes and 59 seconds. Everything had to be precise and methodical.

She tied up her bubble gum pink hair into a tight bun and stuck her wand through it to keep it in place. It was stifling hot in her private potions lab and her blouse was unbuttoned enough to show the top of her black lace brassier. She winced slightly as she brushed a stray tendril of her hair out of her face. No matter how many charms she did on herself to hide the bruise, it still hurt when touched. She had gone to Diagon Alley to see Narcissa when she had run into her older brother and his friends. When Sirius had found out she was going to Knockturn Alley, he flipped. They got into a huge fight which entailed all of his friends to get in on the fight as well. This resulted in Trivia calling Lily a mudblood, which resulted in Trivia being slapped by both her brother and his best friend, James Potter. She had been able to sneak back in the manor later on after canceling her lunch with Narcissa and Bella, and had quickly charmed her cheek to look as though there was no bruise at all, but she still felt it. And then to top it all off, she had gotten into a fight with Severus when he'd come home.

Apparently, on his mission (or at least that is what she assumed it was), he had gotten injured and couldn't get medical attention until he got home. She was distraught when she had seen how hurt he was with bruises all over his chest, a few cracked ribs and a broken arm. She wasn't supposed to be in the room though and he yelled at her to get out. Silence had ensued between the two after that. He had refused to talk to her and Trivia had cried herself to sleep for the past two nights. Shaking her head causing loose hair to face around her face she continued with her potion.

"Shredded boomslang skin, powdered bicorn," her whispers were heard as she added ingredients to her cauldron. She turned to grab her jar of black beetle eyes but soon found it wasn't there. She frowned 'I know I grabbed it.'

A soft clinking got her attention; she slowly turned and saw a hand with long fingers holding her jar of beetle eyes. Her gazes followed the figure's form and soon locked gazes with two very familiar black eyes, "Severus."

He smiled at her, "You've never been so cold to me Trivia."

She glared, "I could say the same about you."

"Listen, I didn't mean to yell. I just-"

"Just what, Severus?" She walked over and grabbed the beetle eyes and continued making her potion.

It was his turn to glare, nobody treated him like that, and he walked over and grabbed her arm forcefully and turned her around to face him, "You shouldn't have been in there!"

"You shouldn't have gotten hurt!"

"It wasn't my fault!"

"It is too! You're the one that's the Death Eater and purposefully puts yourself in the situation to get hurt!"

".....so you're real problem is my being a Death Eater."

Trivia pulled her arm away and slowly set to steeping her potion, "......no....I have a problem with you getting hurt. I have a problem with knowing I'm going back to school and I won't get to see you. I have a problem knowing that you're still going to go off on your missions and more than likely get hurt again....if not dead! That is what I have a problem with."

He walked up behind her, snaked his arms around her waist, and pulled her back against him, "I will be fine. This is something I believe in, Trivia. I feel it's very important. I wish you would support me in that."

"I do support you in it. I just-.....," she sighed and relaxed into his arms, "I just don't want to see you hurt."

His lips brushed against her forehead, "I'll be okay, I promise.

She turned to face him wanting to bury in his arms unable to bear the fact that there was a good chance that she would lose him if he continued on this path. But he merely lifted her chin and gently placed his lips against her, coaxing affectionately. Just as she began to melt and respond in a steady rhythm his tongue ventured against her teeth and even though shocked at this intimate gesture she allowed him to slide it in to her mouth. She couldn't believe how good this made her feel and used her own tongue in the same way, sliding and caressing it against his. The world seemed to disappear; she was lost in the moment, not even minding the slight rasp of his stubble against the delicate skin of her face.

Unfortunately, Severus was in the process of becoming extremely turned on and he made no attempt to hide it. Not even aware of their movement he found himself pushing Trivia up against the table holding her cauldron and grinding into her, smiling to himself when he received quiet moans of pleasure. Trivia's hands braced against the edge of the table desperately trying to keep her body up while she practically melted against Severus. She'd never felt this way before. Lost in the moment, soaring through space and time, Trivia was suddenly shocked back into reality as she realized she was no where near ready for what he wanted. Jerking away, her chest heaved in an attempt to regain her composure, her fingers pressed against her swollen lips. Severus watched carefully as he saw that she was shaking, whether out of fear or shock he couldn't tell. Looking up he saw that her bright pink hair was now tinged in numerous places with black. He smiled to himself 'She was losing control...that's why she got scared.' When a Metamorphous lost control all their features reverted back to normal.

Her cheeks were flushed a bright red as if she couldn't believe what she had done. But Severus read her mind easily; it wasn't hard to get past her feeble barriers to read her thoughts. She had been extremely turned on by him and was scared at what she was feeling. A thoughtful look crossed his features; he kept forgetting how innocent she was. She wasn't like the rest of her reckless family and he had to try and remember that.

Leaning in closely, Severus kissed her cheek and looked in her eyes, "I'd never hurt you, Trivia."

"I know...it's just I've never-"

"I know."

For some reason his understanding made her blush more, unfortunately her potion decided it wanted attention and began bubbling over and sparking. Turning quickly Trivia frantically tried to get her potion to simmer down. She'd gone over her steep time and it was starting to get bad. It got worse when it sparked and burst slightly causing a portion of her potion to douse her. Thankfully it didn't burn her, but it did remove the charms she had placed on herself to hide her bruise.

To busy to notice that her charm was gone she didn't notice Severus' eyes narrow when he saw the nasty bruise on her cheek. Grabbing her arm he pulled her out of the way, "Scourgify!"

He potion disappeared and she was left drenched in her potion with a horrible bruise staring back at a very angry Severus, "What the hell happened?!"

Lowering her eyes she barely managed a whisper, "I got in a fight while you were gone."

"With who!?"

"......sirius...."

"He hit you?"

"Him and James....I called that muggle a mudblood and they slapped me."

"............."

"Severus! Wait! Where are you going?!"

But the Slytherin was out of the potions lab and already passing through the floo network before she could catch him. Over the next few days all anyone knew is that someone had cursed both Sirius Black and James Potter with a Bat Boogey Hex that had an added time limit until it could be cured.
