Chapter 12
Disclaimer: Don't own them except for the plot and the ones that came out of my own twisted imagination.
The sun was rising and its rays began streaming through the dungeon window but not going near the king sized bed that occupied the middle of the room. Snape upon awakening found he was spooned up against Marty and his hand had somehow found its way to her bare breast in the middle of the night.
Marty was still sleeping peacefully her face was soft and relaxed.He thought as he continued to study her face 'My beautiful dark haired angel.'
Then Snape's rational side of his mind kicked in and wanted to remove his hand from her breast but his other side the one that he hadn't listened to in a long time liked it there. It was soft as silk against his calloused hand. He fought the urge to massage it and feel its weight. 'No this is wrong, I really wasn't thinking last night when I dragged her in here. I just wanted to continue to hold her and not let go.' 'What the hell is wrong with me, I'm acting like a hormonal teenager again.'
As he continued to study her Marty began to stir and unconsciously rub her bottom up against him. Snape found himself getting aroused by this 'She keeps this up and I won't be able to stop myself.' He thought as she continued to unwontedly move her bum.
Marty opened her eyes to find Snape's hand on her breast and her bum against his obvious state of arousal. She smiled to herself 'Hmmm nice way to wake up although I could think of a much better way. But I shouldn't be thinking of that right now.' She thought but her body was betraying her because it didn't seem to mind where his hand was or his other body part for that matter. Her emotions were already raw from the previous night even though she knew they didn't do anything even with the fact that she was sharing his bed.
'I need to get a hold of myself before I decide to let him have his way with me. Course it wouldn't be a bad thing. ' She thought smiling to herself.
She slowly rolled onto her back so as not lose the warmth and when he went to try and remove his hand she stopped him. "Its okay I don't mind your hand being there Severus." She said with a smile knowing damn well she wasn't thinking straight due to her own state of arousal. It was starting to really cloud her judgment. 'This is so wrong I can't be thinking of doing that with him now, but I can't help it I'm only human after all.'
Snape smirked and soon found himself massaging her breast making it swollen feeling the nipple become harder as he used his thumb andfore finger to pinch and pull it he then moved his hand and did the same thing to its twin as he leaned forward and took the already hard nipple in his mouth and slowly began to suckle it and laving it with his tongue. He let the nipple slowly slide out of his mouth the cool air in the dungeons causing it to stand out more erect then before. Marty moaned at his touch "Oh that feels sooo good." 'I knew that his mouth was always good for something else besides making nasty comments.'
He suddenly stopped when he realized what he was doing. 'What the hell am I doing, I can't take advantage of her like that.' Marty looked at him in confusion asked "Why did you stop?" He shook his head "No, we can't do this Martintha. Not right now we are both too vulnerable." She wasn't surprised by that statement but she took his hand and moved it down to the apex between her thighs letting him feel the heat and with his sensitive nose could smell her desire. Hehadquickly removed it. 'No I can't do this.' as if reading his mind she said"I know we can't Severus but damn it you and I both know neither one us can help it."
Before he could argue she continued "Yes, we are both vulnerable and our emotions are running high because of what happened last night. But to me this does feel right. I don't know about you but I haven't felt like this in a long time." 'I can't believe I'm doing this.' She mentally added.
Snape was speechless at first and didn't know what to say he knew his feelings for her were just as jumbled as hers but he really wasn't sure he hadn't felt like this in a long time as she had explained she hadn't either.
He didn't know what came over him at that point but he found himself again cupping her mound with his hand and captured her lips with his own. It started out as a chaste kiss but Marty instinctively deepened the kiss and placed her hand on the back of his head running her fingers through his silky black hair making him groan in her mouth. He then slides his index finger inside her feeling her wetness spreading it causing her to arch her back and make a mewing sound in his mouth. He broke the kiss and smirked "I'm going to have you scream my name before I'm through."
Marty smiled and said in a husky voice "Well then what are we waiting for?" with that she captured his mouth once again in another passionate kiss.
They ended up spending a very passionate morning together. Afterward as they were lying there with Marty resting her head and hand on his chest and holding each other close they were both feeling satisfied and a bit guilty for what had just happened.
They then both reasoned that their feelings for each other had been over whelmed and they both decided to themselves that they need to control that a little better. Soon a note popped in front of them out of thin air. It startled Marty causing her to jump slightly but Snape held onto her. "Easy." He said taking the note in his other hand and lightly caressing her arm with the other read the note "It's just a note from Albus requesting that we meet him in his office in an hour."
Marty didn't say anything she was dreading this meeting but she knew she had to get everything out in the open or things was going to get messy. 'Shit.' She thought.
Snape could sense Marty tensing up 'Definitely not going to be an easy meeting, Even though I know she is very strong willed she is going to need all the support she can get for what needs to be done.' He then shifted her position so that she was looking at him and said "Martintha it will be alright, you know as well as I do this will not be easy, but you have to be strong my dark haired angel."
Marty smiled as she remembered the first time he called her that after their first time. "I always did like that."
"Like what?" He asked not realizing he had slipped that last part out.
"You called me your dark haired angel; you were the only one to ever call me that." She said with a smile.
Snape gave her a crooked smile "Indeed, now since we don't have very much time till we have to meet Albus I suggest we both take a shower together." They both knew they had plenty of time but he didn't want to let her out of his sight at the moment.
Marty wanted to laugh 'Cunning Slytherin.' "Alright then let's go." She said as she managed to wiggle out of his grasp and climb out of bed. As she stood there in all her glory and seemed quiet comfortable in her own skin Snape had to smile at the sight. 'Beautiful.'
"Like what you see?" She asked with a smirk on her face. Snape couldn't believe her cheek and looking at her with hunger in his eyes completely forgetting what he had decided earlier about controlling himself said "Yes, very much." He then climbed out of bed and walked over to her in two strides. "Now who likes what they see?" He said with a smirk as he felt her eyes roam all over his body.
Marty just gave him a sly grin and without another word he took her by the hand and led her towards the bathroom. The door opened on its own and closed with a soft click after the two had entered.
While Snape and Marty were enjoying their shower, the team was sitting in the room that Dumbledore had made ready for them the night before. It turned out the rooms he was talking about were not separate as they were led to believe they were in fact one big room with four bedrooms inside. Dumbledore had explained that he thought it would be better if they stayed together and that He would come by in the afternoon to fetch them.
While the others had slept that night Hannibal had been up thinking about all the events that led up to them being in this place. He felt betrayed by Marty in so many ways he could not yet fathom. Seeing the way she was with that Snape character made him very jealous indeed and what made him even angrier was the fact that Marty knew it.
None of them was talking to each other all of them lost in their own thoughts. Murdock it seemed to Hannibal looked like he was right at home in this place and for the life of him he couldn't figure out why. 'Something really strange is going on here. I can't believe Marty is a witch and an elemental witch at that what ever the hell that is. All I know is she has some damn explaining to do. 'He thought as he got up and started pacing the room when there was a knock on the door. Murdock got up from the chair he was sitting in walked over to the door to open it.
Professor Dumbledore stood in the doorway along with a very stern looking woman with her hair in a tight bun and wearing square shaped spectacles.
"Good afternoon, are you gentlemen ready to proceed to my office?" He asked giving Murdock a warm smile as Murdock allowed them to enter the room.
Murdock returned the smile "Good afternoon Headmaster and yes I believe we are ready." The stern looking woman cleared her throat and Dumbledore looked a bit embarrassed "Oh please excuse me I'm being rude may I introduce my Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts Professor Minerva McGonagall she also teaches Transfigurations here as well." The team nodded to McGonagall in greeting.
"Minerva these are gentlemen I told you about last night that came with Martintha, I believe she called you four the A-team." Dumbledore said.
Hannibal then spoke up "Don't mean to be rude or anything but could we please go to your office. I'm kind of anxious to see what other fascinating things Marty has to say to us." He said this last part with a very sarcastic tone.
McGonagall pursed her lips together ignoring his rude comment looked at all of them "Pleasure to meet all of you, now let us go to finish this business up." With that she left the room and walked down the corridor towards the office. Dumbledore smiled and said "Follow me gentlemen." And with that he also swept from the room with the team following close behind.
It took a bit of walking and the guys were fascinated by all the moving paintings they encountered some of them even waved at Murdock but called him by a different name. He waved back and B.A. got annoyed "Knock it off Fool." Murdock ignored him and smiled at a painting of a group of women having a picnic. "Good afternoon Ladies." He said tipping his hat to them knowing full well it was grating the big guy's nerves. The ladies stopped what they were doing and waved back all saying in perfect unison "Good afternoon Medochian."
They soon found themselves in front of a stone gargoyle and Dumbledore said the password "Fizzing Whizbee." With that the gargoyle sprang to life and jumped to the other side revealing a set of revolving stairs. They climbed on and the stairs took them up stopping in front of a large grand door and they heard voices coming from inside.
"Martintha you need to calm down you are not doing yourself any good by pacing like that. You are making me and the others dizzy." A voice said.
"Oh shut it Phenius you are not helping matters by being a prat! "
"Martintha do sit down." Another voice said "They will be here soon." They heard a sigh and it was quiet as Dumbledore opened the door the others saw Marty sitting in a leather chair next to Snape and to Dumbledore she looked nervous and he thought she really shouldn't be but it was understandable.
"Good afternoon Martintha, Severus I trust you both made progress last night?" He asked as he walked over towards his desk stopping only to pet Fawkes a beautiful fiery Phoenix bird.
"Yes we have made some progress Albus." Snape replied. Marty upon seeing the team walk in became even tenser. They looked around the circular office in awe with the winding staircase that led to a book self filled with books, the astronomy pieces scattered through out to the paintings that were moving on the walls.
"Please have a seat." As straight back chairs appeared and they each took a seat. Hannibal looked at Marty and noticed that her cheeks were flushed and she was very tense. 'Good she deserves to be tense but I wonder why her face is so flushed.' He thought but then turned his attention back to the headmaster. "Could we please get on with this?"Hannibal then saidvery impatiently.
Dumbledore then began to speak "I'm sure you gentlemen have questions for Martintha." "Yes, I have one or two I would like to ask." Hannibal said looking over at Marty. "You seemed to have left something out last night when explaining how we got here. So I would like to know what that is."
Marty swallowed a few times before she spoke "I…..I had a spell cast on you….actually all four of you are imbued." Hannibal's eyes were cold and Marty shivered a bit.
"Who cast the spell Martintha? And what kind of spell is it?" Murdock asked. Marty didn't really know how to tell them this but she would do her best "It's a spell that will help me with the task that I must do." She replied.
"What is the task that you need to do?" Hannibal asked. Marty stared at him for a moment and stated "If I could remember what is was I would gladly tell you all I seem to recall is that it will not be easy." "And as to who put the spell on you that I refuse to answer because you will never meet this person."
She saw that Hannibal was getting angrier by the minute 'What the hell did he expect me to say "Oh a gnome named Sebastian put the spell on you for 10,000 galleons." Yeah that would have gone over well.' She thought. Before Hannibal could reply McGonagall spoke up clearly not liking Hannibal "She is right I highly doubt you will meet this person anytime soon and even if she did tell you what kind of spell it was I know you would not understand it in the least." Hannibal glared at this woman but didn't say retort back because he somehow knew not to cross this woman.
Marty looked over at this woman sitting over by Murdock and thought of something she should have asked when the woman first walked in. Marty felt a bit strange when she saw her 'Why is it that remember this woman but can't seem to place her.' "I don't mean to be rude or anything but who are you?"
McGonagall smiled "No my dear you are not being rude, I should have introduced myself when I came in I'm Professor McGonagall but you may call me Minerva." She peered over her glasses. Marty shivered again'What is going on? Minerva is acting so strange, her eyes looks so vacant.' She then stood up and looking at Dumbledore "If you will excuse me I have something I need to take care of." With that she left the room and Marty started to relax once more.
"I take it Martintha that you have retrieved some more of your memories last night?" He asked thoughtfully. Marty nodded "Yes, I have Albus. Severus has been very helpful." She didn't intend to but she blushed and Hannibal noticed right off. 'Alright this has gone on far enough, I want to know what the hell she blushing. I could be wrong but it looks like her and Snape must have done more then just talk last night.' "Why are you blushing Marty? Was there more to what happened last night then you two just talking?" He asked seething with anger and a tad bit of jealously.
"Hannibal all we did was just talk last night nothing more." Marty replied. Hannibal stood up and walked a little towards her "You are a liar Marty something did happen between you or you wouldn't be so flushed right now." Marty stood up with her eyes flashing with anger and hurt in the distance they could hear a thundercrack but if anybody had bothered to look outside they would have noticed there was not a cloud in the sky she then said "I'm telling you the truth Hannibal nothing happened last night!" 'Like I would fucking tell you?' She mentally added. Hannibal's eyes became a darker blue and Marty knew he was livid. "You are nothing but a fucking slut Marty!" The next thing Hannibal knew she had slapped him across his face leaving a very nasty red mark on his cheek. Her green eyes became so dark that you couldn't see her pupils she was so angry. "Oh dare you call me that when it's obvious that you are not a fucking saint yourself Hannibal! Considering you have nailed half the women up and down the California coast!" Hannibal was too shocked to respond the look in her eyes was enough to frighten him and not a whole lot scares him. Snape suddenly got up from his chair and grabbed Marty before any damage could be done and dragged her over to her chair sitting her down. "Control yourself Martintha right now!" He hissed in her ear and her eyes immediately went back to normal. Murdock and Face also stood up and took a hold of Hannibal by his arms and led him back across the room. "Calm down Hannibal, you are not helping anything by calling her that." Murdock hissed clearly angry. Hannibal stood there for a moment nodded and sat back down staring at the empty fireplace.
Dumbledore would have stopped the situation but Snape, Murdock and Face seemed to have handled it quiet well. "Thank you Severus and you two as well for smoothing things over." The three men nodded.
"Now I have a question Marty while you were on the train did anyone see you?" He asked. "Yes, Albus there were four students that whom I met, three I shared a car with." Marty replied.
"Whom did you meet my dear?" Dumbledore asked. "Well I met Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter those are three I shared the car with and I also met Lucius Malfoy's boy Draco."
Dumbledore didn't seem to be surprised "Do they know your true identity?" Dumbledore asked. Marty shook her head "No, Albus they only know me by Marty King, but I got the feeling that Ms. Granger suspects otherwise."
Snape snorted "That does not surprise me she prides herself on knowing everything to the point of annoying anybody around her." Marty then heard him mutter something about damn "know- it- all" and she tried not to laugh.
"What about Mr. Malfoy does he know who you are?" Dumbledore asked ignoring Snape's comment. "No Albus, he does not know who I am. He was too busy being rude and ignorant. "Marty replied with distaste in her mouth. "That kid is too much like his old man."
Snape then spoke up "Martintha I would be careful what you say about Malfoy he is not to be trifled with especially when it comes to his son."
Marty just shrugged and smiled "I'm not afraid of Lucius, I took care of him once and if necessary do it again."
"What do you mean you took care of him once?" Snape asked even though he was confused he tried not to show it. Marty gave an evil smirk as she recalled that memory again "Let's just say there is a very good reason why he wears only black leather gloves at all times." She wouldn't elaborate anymore on the subject. 'Hmmm I shall have to drag it out of her later since she seems to find that very amusing.' Snape thought.
Dumbledore spoke again "Well it's getting close to dinner and we need to come up with a cover story as to why you are all here." He looked over at Marty and replied "It would not be wise for anybody besides who is and was in this room to know who you truly are Martintha."
"I agree, so introduce me as Marty King and of course I will have to change my appearance a bit. I mean I can't go through dinner with my hood covering my face now can I." She replied.
Dumbledore nodded in agreement "Yes, I shall do that now about changing your appearance I'm sure you know how to go about that my dear, seeing as how you have been around someone who is very clever with disguises."
At first Marty was stunned 'How did he know that Hannibal was good with disguises.' He continued amused by the look on her face "Tell me did those students see all of your face?"
"No." She replied then it dawned on her what he was getting at and smiled. She then took out her wand muttered a spell she remembered her hair then suddenly went from long wavy black to a deep red color with lots of luscious curls framing her face. She put her wand away the team were in awe over the change even Snape gave a small smile.
"How's this Albus?" She asked "Beautiful my dear." He replied and the team all agreed except Hannibal who wasn't paying any attention staring off into space deep in thought but Marty didn't notice this.
'Beautiful indeed, I had forgotten that she knew that spell and dare I say dangerously sexy not that she wasn't before. ' Snape thought with a smirk. Marty caught that smirk and knew what he was thinking. She smiled and making sure nobody noticed winked at him Severus tried to cover up his surprise by giving her a scowl but Marty knew better. Dumbledore sat silent for a moment and Marty looked over and saw a twinkle in his eye. "You have an idea I take it Albus?" She asked.
"Yes, I do as a matter of fact." He replied and went silent once more.
"Well out with it Albus, what is it?" Snape sneered.
(AN: (Grins) I know I left it at yet another cliff hanger and I'm sorry about that besides I got to keep you guys in suspense. (Grins wider) I do have an idea on their cover story but if anybody has any suggestions please feel free to let me know. If I use it you will get credit for it. As always R&R)
