A/N: Hi all. Happy new year! Here's to a fantastic year ahead of us! I have been travelling over the holidays and work is expected to be insane this month so I don't know how much writing will be done. Maybe lots because I seem to be more inspired when I have less time to write, maybe few because no time. We shall see. In the meantime enjoy this little piece of fluff to celebrate 2014! (Though this isn't set during NYE).
20. Lust
They are snogging on her parents couch.
In Australia.
Barely a week after they found them.
A few weeks ago she was fighting for her life on the burning grounds of her school. And now she's kissing the boy she's been in love with for longer that she cares to admit.
Everything is a bit overwhelming.
Ron's hand slides higher on her tight, getting closer to-
"We need to stop," she whispers detaching her lips from his regretfully.
He goes on and hovers his lips against her neck. Deposing light kisses on her skin in ways that makes her shiver all over.
She moans and pushes him away.
"We can't."
Ron sighs frustratingly and sprawl back onto the couch cushions, putting distance between them.
She hates it.
"Ron," she says softly as she grabs his hand. He doesn't pushes her away. "We can't have sex on my parents couch."
"It's been days since I've touched you."
He makes her blush, he sees it and starts grinning in a way that makes her want to forget where she is.
"Last time was better right?" He asks a bit unsure.
They're still very new at this.
"It was," she tells him dreamily.
"Your room then?" He tries hopefully.
"They'll hear us."
"Well, you're a witch, use a silencing charm."
He's adorable as he says that. But she remembers that magic is what tears her apart from her parents and she knows it won't be a good idea.
"I don't want to use magic around my parents. Every time I do I feel like I'm betraying them."
She doesn't say is that it didn't start the day she performed a memory charm on them, but much earlier. She doesn't recall a time she hasn't felt that way. Even when she was eleven and just received her Hogwarts letter.
"Now more than any time before..."
He's quiet for a while. She doesn't know if it's because he's realising that their sex life is now on hold barely after it jut begun or if he's understanding more her ordeal.
"They'll forgive you."
She wants to believe him.
"And when they do, we'll shag in your bedroom in celebration."
He's grinning so widely now she isn't sure she wants to smack him or snog him senseless.
"And when that day come, I'll let you cast the silencing charm."
She smacks him.
