Chapter 33: End of A Dark Age

"Let's get back, Albus and I can explain everything. Come on, the girls are probably worried about us." Remus said, the mood in the room going from energized to somber. The group slowly made their way towards the Hogwarts gates, Draco holding Harry's hand in reassurance, and Albus helping a depressed Remus.

"Welcome back guys, I take it we won...Again." Hermione said, Chastity and her turning around to face the door.

"Oh Merlin, what's wrong? Where's James? Lily?" Chastity asked, her eyes were red and her face tear stained, she quickly got up and walked to Severus' side. Severus wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close and kissing her forehead.

"I'm sorry you two, but Lily was killed, she was the first person down. When we met up with Kelly, James killed her and left the house. I promised to explain to the rest of them what happened, so here it goes. After James and Lily were married, it seemed that Lily had an affair with Lucius Malfoy, once Lucius ditched her she moved on to, well a more promienant and feared individual."

"She ended up having his child, one Kelly Riddle. She covered the pregnancy by telling James she had a miscarriage, it was also revealed that Lily and Sirius had a bit of a fling before James and Lily got together. He killed Kelly out of spite, he's going to need time to deal with everything." Albus finished for Remus. "We don't know where he went, he seems to have pulled a Harry."

"Well, I suggest we all get some sleep, try to return to a bit of normalicy. I'm sure there will be an annoucement in the morning about classes and such, if you would like, Hermione and I could discuss it tonight and one of us could make the announcement tomorrow at breakfast if you would all like to sleep in." Chastity said, lifting her head up off of Severus' chest.

"Chast, I want to wake up with you there, I need to know that you're still safe." Severus whispered into Chastity's ear.

"And you will Sev, Hermione and I will be done before you retire to bed tonight because you will be taking a shower of some sort, and you will still be asleep by the time I get back after breakfast the next day. However, someone needs to watch the kids in the Great Hall or all hell will break lose and you know that." Chastity whispered back.

"Thank you so much Chastity, Hermione, we owe you two a lot right now." Albus said, nodding his head to each of them.

"Oh and Harry, Draco, don't worry about taking care of the kids, we'll do that also." Hermione said, noticing how weak Harry was looking, leaning on Draco for support to even stand. He had now lost his mother twice, and his father had disappeared, something Harry was hoping to do right at that very second.

"Let's retire to bed then gentlemen, I'm sure these ladies will inform us of their decision to either go through with classes tomorrow or what not." Albus walked to the doors opening them up for everyone.

"I'll see you in a few okay." Chastity said, kissing Severus' cheek before turning towards Hermione, who was hugging Ron and whispering in his ear.

"Chas, I should have told you this sooner, I love you." With that Severus retired to his rooms leaving Chastity to her thoughts.

"So Hermione, what are we going to do?" Chastity asked, sitting down at the table again with Hermione.

"Morning." Dragon said, smiling down at Melissa who was just starting to wake up.

"Morning, you're very cute when you first wake up. Did you know?" Melissa whispered, kissing Dragon. "I could get use to this."

"Unfortunately the rest of us can not, it's not that we don't love ya Mel, we do it's just it's too early in the morning for all that lovey-mushy crap." One of the othersecond year Gryffindors said, walking out of the bathroom fully dressed.

"That's just too bad isn't it? I wonder what happened last night, was the ban lifted?" Dragon asked, pulling Melissa closer to his side.

"According to Mikeal the ban is lifted, but everyone must report to the Great Hall for an announcement in...oh about 20 minutes, no one is to be late, and you don't have to wear your school robes."

"Thanks, now I don't mean to sound rude, but can you leave?" Dragon asked, motioning towards Melissa.

"Of coruse, I'll see you in the Great Hall then."

"Dragon, I better get back to the girls dorm, my clothes are there." Melissa said, starting to stand up. "Thank you for everything, the ring is beautiful and it means a lot to me." Melissa kissed Dragon, picking up her robe.

"You're welcome Mel, you mean a lot to me. Go, get dressed, I'll meet you in the common room in about 10 minutes." Dragon watched Melissa leave the room, he knew he should be feeling extremely happy, but something inside of him made his heart feel weighed down.

Twenty minutes later, all the students were sitting at their house tables whispering between each other about the lack of teachers at the Head table. Looking up, there were only Hermione and Chastity watching the last of the students find their seats. "If I may have your attention for a brief time. As all of you know, there was a ban placed on the school last night, this ban was put into effect due to the ending of another Dark era. Last night a small group of the Order of the Phoenix went out, and saved the wizarding world once more. As of today, we are predicting that there will not be another Dark Witch or Wizard to grace our presence for the next hundreds, or even thousands of years. However, that doesn't mean there still are not bad people in the world. There are, and everyone should still be very aware of their surroundings. It has been decided, due obviously to the lack of teachers today, that classes will be cancelled until further notice. Those of you that have been effected by last nights events, will be contacted before the day is out. Now, eat up and enjoy your freedom." Chastity said, sitting back down. She was terribly worried about James, Harry, Dragon and Melissa.

"Go on. I can take care of watching them." Hermione said, leaning across the table.

"Thank you, I'll be back it's just-"

"I understand, trust me. I went through the second war in a relationship, I understand." Hermione smiled at Chastity, before returning to her breakfast. Chastity got up from the table leaving through the side doors, she made her way back down to the dungeons and into Severus' room. She quietly walked in, taking off her outter robe, before getting back into bed with Severus. He subconsiouly wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her closer.

"I love you too Severus." Chastity whispered, brushing a strand of black hair out of Severus' eyes. Chastity watched Severus sleep, he seemed so peaceful and at ease with the world, a side of Severus she had never got to really see. She wished Severus would be that at ease with her. By lunch time, Severus finally started to stir.

"I love you too Chastity. So, did I miss anything important?"

"You heard me?"

"Yes, I woke a little when you came back into the room. Chastity, I was talking with Albus about adopting the little person inside of you, but according to wizarding laws, I can only adopt him or her when and if we get married. I don't want you to think that I only want to marry you so I can adopt your child, but because I love you and I want to make you apart of my family, and that includes your..our child."

"Severus would you marry us?" Chastity asked, smiling and taking an onion ring off of the lunch tray.

"W-what? I was eventually going to get there. You are not going to give me that friend onion thingy are you?" Severus asked, running his hand underneath his pillow. "Chastity will you do me the honor of being my wife?" Severus asked, opening up a black velvet ring box. Inside were was the Snape family engagement ring. "Even though you totally ruined the moment with your choice of fried food."

"Oh Severus! It's gorgeous! Of course I will." Chastity stuck her hand out, Snape put the silver band with athree karat blue diamond on Chastity's ring finger.

"Let's go take a shower, then we can break the news to Melissa about her dad."

"Dad, Father, I have something to tell you." Dragon said, walking into his parents rooms, hand in hand with Melissa.

"We have something to tell you also. Please sit down." Harry said, motioning towards the couch.

"One of you isn't pregnant AGAIN are you? I don't think I could handle anymore siblings this year."

"No we aren't pregnant, but go on, what did you have to tell us?"

"Melissa and I exchanged the Potter family promise rings last night. She wanted to exchange the Malfoy ones, but I thought better of it." Dragon said, wrapping his arm around Melissa's waist. "We haven't thought or talked about marriage yet, and we haven't slept together, we exchanged rings because we are in love with each other. I just thought you should know."

"Congratulations you two, and welcome to the family Melissa. It maybe just be promise ring, but that doesn't mean there's a possiblilty that you won't become engaged sooner or later." Draco said, hugging Melissa.

"Now, what did you two have to tell me?" Dragon asked, looking at both of his parents faces go from happy to distant.

"Last night, we went on a raid. We killed Belatrix, Melissa, and a few Death Eaters, I'm sorry Dragon but in the process your grandmother was killed. Your grandfather ended up killing Kelly and afterwards disapparated to some unknown location." Dragon looked into his dads face, hoping to see that it was a very mean joke but noticed quickly that it wasn't.

"I'm not mad that grandmother died, I barely got to know her, but you two left to go on a raid and didn't tell me. You could have died, you could have been seriously injured and the seven of us would have been orphans. You ran into a situation and didn't think about the consequences did you?"

"Dragon, we had it planned out. We didn't want to involved you because Melissa over there yelled at us that we were adults and should fight our own battles with out getting you involved. If we were to tell you, you would have wanted to come with us, and when we said no you would have come up with your own plan. You also would have been far from homeless, someone in the Order would have taken you in and taken care of you, that's part of the promise that we care for our own, help out members that need help. Now, I'm pretty sure Chastity is looking for Melissa." Draco said, getting up and walking over to open the door for Dragon and Melissa. "Congratulations again Melissa."

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, where's my dad?" Melissa asked, before walking out of the door.

"The only person that has that answer is Chastity. I'm sorry Mel." Draco said, hugging her before walking out the door himself and going to find Hermione and his children.

"Melissa there you are, you had me worried for a second." Chastity said, turning the corner to the Great Hall.

"I'm sorry Chastity, we went to visit Harry and Draco. We wanted to tell them we exchanged promise rings." Melissa said, showing Chastity.

"Congratulatioins. Mel, can I talk to you in my office please, it's about Sirius. Dragon you can come to if you like." Chastity led them up the stairs and into her office. "Have some tea babe."

"Chast, where's my dad?" Melissa asked, taking a sip of tea. The tea itself was laced with a calming draught.

"I'm sorry Mel, he ended up stepping on a trigger and didn't duck in time. He was killed, and I'm sorry to say there is nothing anyone can do to bring him back. With Christmas coming up, I'm pretty sure that you'd like to spend it at Malfoy manor with Dragon, however Snape and I will always have a room for you at our house, so will the Weasleys. Dragon, I'm sorry for your loss also. Well, you better enjoy the rest of your day as well as you can. We still haven't figured out what we are going to do about classes tomorrow." Chastity watched the two dazed teenagers leave her office. Dragon and Melissa made their way towards the Room of Requirements, neither one wanting to be around others at the moment.

"Dragon, what am I going to do once summer comes? Where will I go?" Melissa asked, sitting down on the over stuffed couch.

"We'll figure something out okay? I won't let you go to some orphanage, I'll talk to my parents and see if you can come live with us." Dragon wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his lap. "I love you Mel, I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Dragon looked into Melissa's eyes before kissing her, he made sure that everything he felt for Melissa was put into the kiss. Melissa started kissing Dragon back, neither one thinking straight, all they knew was that kissing each other took some of the pain away and they didn't want that to stop. Melissa wrapped her arms around Dragons neck, her fingers running through Dragon's hair. Dragon moved Melissa so she was lying down on the couch, before starting to kiss her neck. Melissa started unbottoning her shirt, while Dragon pulled his off over his head.

"Dragon, we don't have to do this, I know you wanted to wait." Melissa said, her breathing uneven.

"It's a decision we both have to make, are you postive you want to do this?" Dragon asked, picking his head up to look into Melissa's eyes. She nodded her head, kissing Dragon again. With shaking hands, Melissa went to undo Dragon's pants.

"Not yet, let's take this slowly, I don't want this to be some quick fuck. I want to make love to you, I want it to be special." Dragon whispered, kissing Melissa and placing his hand on the top of her bra. Melissa ran her hands down Dragon's bare back, making Dragon shiver. Dragon took off Melissa's bra, placing his hand on one of her breasts and covering the other with his mouth, elicting a moan from Melissa.

"Drag please, I need to hear you say it one more time." Melissa whispered.

"I love you Melissa. That will never change." Dragon let all his Malfoy and Potter masks fall, and Melissa saw only truth in what Dragon said.

"I love you too Drag." This time Melissa undid her own pants, she didn't want Dragon to stop her, nor did she want him to see how much her hands were shaking. Taking the hint, Dragon undid his own pants, standing up to take them off, so that Melissa could get hers off easily. They stared each other in the eyes while removing their underwear, mentally deciding to see each other naked at the same time. Counting to three mentally, looking each other over, Dragon lost his breath at how beautiful Melissa looked, while Melissa let out a silent gasp. 'He might be naked, but even now he looks extremely powerful.'

"You-you're beautiful Mel."

"You're extremely hot yourself. Now, stop staring at me and getting yourself harder. " Melissa said smiling, grabbing Dragon's hand and pulling him back towards the couch, which had turned itself into a bed. Dragon went back to kissing Melissa, once he was positive he had her distracted, he started to add a finger at a time. "I know it feels weird, but trust me it will make it lesspainful."

"I trust you." Melissa said, arching her hips before kissing him. Once Dragon was positive Melissa was stretched enough, he lined himself up.

"All you have to do is tell me to stop and I will, I promise. I'll be as gentle as I can." Melissa kissed him to shut him up. Melissa closed her eyes waiting for the painful part. Taking a deep breath Dragon pushed into her, he was a little surprised to see Melissa's eyes shut. Hebent down to kiss her, Melissa smiled.

"Well, that didn't hurt at all." She said, very proud of herself.

"That's because I'm not in all the way, I don't want to hurt you Mel."

"That's a little inevitable isn't it? Drag I know it'll hurt a li..Ow!" Melissa cried out, not expecting what had just happened. "Drag, it hurts...Get it out, get off me, ow!"

"Mel, calm down, it'll pass in a minute, you just need to calm down and breath you're turning a little blue." Dragon said, worried more so then usual. The other two girls he had quick fucks with didn't scream in pain like that, and though he knew it was usual for a girl to feel a little pain, the shout Melissa gave off sounded more then just a little pain. Dragon moved a little, trying to take as much of his weight off of Melissa.

"Oh!" Melissa gasped.

"What I didn't hurt you did I?"

"No, that felt great." Melissa said, her wincing and frown stopping instantly. Dragon moved a little again, Melissa kissed him and ran her hands up his arms, noticing he was starting to sweat a little from holding back, with a nod of her head Dragon slowly started to make greater movements every so often. Dragon took a while studying Melissa's eyes and face, he never noticed the different shades of brown they were and never knew how intimate it was stare into them. A very short while later, he noticed that Melissa wasn't in pain anymore, Dragon tried pulling out half way and thrusting back in, seeing if Melissa would wince in pain. When she didn't he kept up the slow and controlled pace, Melissa arching her back and moaning in pleasure. However, being a teenaged boy, his control was slowly waning.

"Faster, please." Melissa moaned out. That was all that needed to be said for Dragon to lose control and give into his instinct. It wasn't long until they were both screaming each others names. Dragon collapsed on top of Mel, trying to catch his breath. "I love you Mel." He panted.

"I love you too sex god." Melissa smiled, Dragon rolled off of her, pulling her close to his side. "We are so going to have to repeat that sometime."

"We can do it whenever you want to goddess." Dragon smiled kissing Melissa's forehead. "However, right now sleep would be really nice." Melissa nodded her head, before faling asleep in Dragon's arms.

D/N: How is everyone? Did you enjoy that performance? I hope so because it may be the last time you see it. Only two chapters left after this one by the way, but it's fine because Kime's already on Chapter three of Twisted three. Anyways, Happy Oct. 1st, only 30 more days until Halloween! Whoo hoo! Other then that, Kime decided to dedicate a lot of time on these stories because as she said "There's just too much drama in her life right now, and why shouldn't she bottle these emotions and let them free in the story." Whatever that means. Anyways, on with the reviews :).

Bitcake: Chastity: Roughly pulls you by the arm and throws you in a cell used by Death Eaters as holding cells You will not molest my Severus, or chain him to a bed. That is my job. You liked Filch just oh so much, and I'm sure that he'll always be single. Just don't mess with my man or me. Sev: wraps towel around waist and stands by Chastity Ha ha, you feel for my trap. Sarahamanda: I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. Kime: I take it you finished reading the story, but you never reviewed for it like you said you would lol.

Heather: I'm glad you're still Faithful to the story. We all appreciate that. The period that passes inbetween stories? You mean the one or two days? lol. I'm sorry that you have to take year two off of the computer and put year three on, though I have no clue what you mean by that. Good night to you also except that it's 11:09 in the morning here right now.Kime: Trust was the T word lol, yes I was ranting and raving about it, and started ranting and raving about it again three days ago. Trust to me is a huge issue, you can't have a friendship or a relationship without it, but it's one of the top things that people abuse. It's quite funny really, you would trust a doctor with your life, but what's the difference of trusting a doctor and say your boyfriend? Aren't they both regular people when it comes down to it...Goes to ponder the past few days.
