When Lynx woke up the next morning she wished she hadn't since it was only Saturday. She never woke up this early on Saturday, but then she never went to sleep as early as she had the night before. Suddenly she remembered that she was at her new school, and just last night she had made out with someone she had just met.
She slowly got up, got dressed and went downstairs to the common room. When she got there Harry, Skyra, Ron, and Fred were already up. Ron and Fred were playing chess while Harry and Skyra were making out in a corner of the room. Lynx shook her head as she way the sight.
"Why does that not surprise me?" Lynx whispered to herself as she sat down and watched Fred and Ron play.
Fred looked up and motioned for her to sit with him. She got up and walked toward him, then decided to sit on the floor, her back against his legs for support.
"You not awake yet?" Ron asked.
Lynx shook her head and she looked at the game. She saw a few moves that Fred could make to win, but they were all too easy. She looked at where Ron was and noticed that if he didn't make a smart move he was finished. Ron noticed her looking carefully at where each piece was and possibly what move to make.
"If you don't mind me helping you alittle bit Ron, I can at least keep you from being beaten for at least one or two moves."
Ron nodded and watched as she moved his queen if front of his king who was behind both knights and a bishop. Fred frowned at the fact that she was helping his younger brother but he didn't let that show. She apparently knew what she was doing.
"You know how to play?" Ron asked.
"Yes. It's something I used to play with my brother before he went to college."
"You have a brother?" Ron asked.
"I was adopted in a family. My mother died a few hours after giving birth and apparently whoever my father was never knew I existed."
"I'm sorry." Fred said.
"It's fine. I've lived with it all my life. It's fine. I don't care. Though I would like to know who my father is, if he's still alive." Lynx said.
No one talked about the subject after that. They just went back to the game and the sound of Harry and Skyra making out. A few times Fred and Lynx blushed as they though about last night.
"Lynx, do you think you could help me again?" Ron asked.
"Sure."
Lynx, once again, looked at where Ron was and decided what the best move was. Once again Ron was safe, and Fred was getting alittle mad at the face that Lynx was helping him. Lynx noticed then leaned up and whispered in Fred's ear.
"If you look closely you will see how to beat him, just don't let him know that you know."
The Lynx settled down once again against Fred's legs and waited. Fred looked closely at the game and indeed noticed how to beat Ron. He took alittle longer to decide what move to make and made it.
"Checkmate."
Ron looked horrified. He then looked at Lynx with a look that was asking, 'what happened?' Lynx shrugged as if she didn't know how Fred had still beaten him.
Suddenly everyone else came downstairs and headed toward the Great Hall for breakfast. Harry and Skyra followed behind Ron and the rest of the Gryffin Team. Lynx was about to follow when Fred grabbed her arm and pulled her into his lap. She laughed alittle before looking into his eyes and smiling. The she leaned down and kissed him in the corner of his mouth before kissing him for real.
Fred quickly deepened the kiss and held her close to his body. He licked her bottom lip before thrusting his tongue into her mouth. She let out a gasp at his quick movement but just trailed her hands to his hair and tangled her fingers all up in it.
Lynx moaned as Fred rubbed her tongue, then fought with him. They moved as if practiced, wild yet free. Fred let Lynx win and she slid her tongue into his mouth to taste. She liked his taste. She was intoxicated with his taste. Fred groaned as she rubbed the roof of his mouth. His hands slid from the top of her back to her lower back. As he did that she shivered and leaned closer to him.
They slowly broke the kiss and looked at each other, breathing heavy. Fred smiled at her and lightly kissed her earlobe. Then licked it before slightly nibbling it. She moaned as he did this and wished he wouldn't stop, but she knew if they didn't they may go too far.
"Fred, please stop."
Fred stopped what he was dong and looked at her. He thought he had done something wrong.
"What is it?"
"We shouldn't be doing this. We may get too caught up in it that it may lead to something we'll regret sooner or later."
Fred nodded, understanding what she was saying. If they didn't take things slow they would be jumping in bed with each other before Christmas. He let Lynx get up and she took Ron's seat.
"How about a game of chess?"
"Sure. After all, what could we possibly do during a game of chess?"
"Exactly."
Then with that they started a new game of chess and promised not to help each other if stuck. Though a few times Fred wished he had help. Lynx was really good, and Fred knew a lot about this game. He had been playing chess since he was about six years old.
They were on their fourth game when Harry, Ron, and Skyra walked back in. They had really got caught up in the game that they didn't notice that Ron was hovering over Lynx.
"Man, Lynx really has control over the board."
Harry looked at the board and smiled. "Sure enough. Fred, I think you need lessons from Lynx. She's really good."
Skyra smirked at Lynx, knowing full well that she was just playing the game, and not trying to make Fred feel bad. Skyra walked over to Harry and stood beside him. Harry wrapped his arm around her waist and held her to him. Fred saw this and wished that he could do that with Lynx, but everyone would think it weird for a seventh year and a ninth year to be together.
"I don't think he needs any lessons. Fred knows how to play this game and is very good at it. I think I've just played more than he has. I would play about ten games every day."
Fred looked impressed. Ron looked horrified and Harry just smiled.
"Well, maybe you can teach Ron and me to play. At least me, I can't play very well."
"I'd be honored, Harry, and anything for a friend of Skyra's."
Then she winked at Skyra and she blushed as she looked away. Harry smiled then lead Skyra to a corner and they started kissing again. Fred and Lynx shook their heads.
