In the middle of August, Severus and Draco returned to Hogwarts. The school year didn't actually start until the beginning of September, but the professor had to be there early so his godson always accompanied him.
The day before classes were scheduled to start, Severus found himself in muggle London after a summoning that had gone fairly well, all things considered. He wandered into a second hand muggle shop to kill time and avoid Albus Dumbledore.
In the corner sat a mysterious looking radio. It was made of wood and painted black. He was aware that Shari was probably going to be extremely bored with him and Draco gone, so he bought it for her.
Then he stopped by a bookstore and picked her up several challenging mindbender puzzle books. A liquor store was his next stop.
When he popped into the sitting room, she jumped but was happy to see him.
She was even more happy when she saw the puzzle books, the liquor and the radio and made sure he knew just how happy she was by the time he left two hours later.
When Shari plugged the radio in, it immediately started playing one of her favorite songs all on its own, Freeway of Love by Aretha Franklin.
"We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
Wind's against our backs
We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac"
For a moment, she felt like she was back in her kitchen in the apartment she had shared with her wife as she danced around to the Queen of Soul.
"Ooh, your kisses, sweeter than honey
And guess what? So is my money
All I want you to do for me, is give it to me when you get home"
She suddenly stopped short when something poked her arm and remembered it was her wand stuffed into her pocket. Then she stood for a moment studying it before she remembered everything. Being kidnapped, Dumbledore telling her he wanted her to have his child, being brought to Snape's house, getting her magic, almost being snatched in Diagon Alley, Voldemort wanting to meet her…
The reality of the situation hit her and she buried herself in the bottle of her favorite whiskey he'd brought her, with Sheryl Crow in the background.
"If it makes you happy,
It can't be that bad.
If it makes you happy,
Then why the hell are you so sad?"
When she woke up on the couch hours later, her head spinning and stomach boiling, she glanced over at the liquor cabinet and noticed vials lined up on the top shelf. Hangover Potion was written in neat writing on each one.
*;.*;.*;.*;.*;.*;.*;.
Draco found a note on his bed after his first day of classes that Professor Dumbledore wanted to see him. He immediately went to the DADA office and set the note in front of his godfather.
Severus took one look at it and warded the office. "He's trying to use you to get to her."
Draco's shoulders sagged and he sighed. "What should I do?"
He looked into the grey eyes of the boy he had raised since age 7. "I've taught you how to occlude. Use that. Don't give him any information about her. He'll try to trick you. He may even try Veritas serum on you, today or another day, so don't eat or drink anything from him."
"Okay, thank you. I'll come back here when I'm done."
Severus nodded at him, and he left the office.
While taking the roundabout way to the Headmaster's office, he carefully put everything about Shari behind the barriers of his mind. Then he pondered who she was to him. His godfather had brought her to live with them and it was obvious there was romantic interaction between them. As he reached the doorway, he decided just to refer to her as his godfather's girlfriend.
After riding the spiraling staircase, he sat down in front of the Headmaster's desk.
"Would you care for a lemon drop?" The bearded wizard held out a candy dish.
"No, thank you, sir." Draco stared at the edge of the desk.
"How about some tea? I'd like a spot of tea."
"No, thank you, sir." The Slytherin continued to keep his eyes down.
"Now, it's rude to refuse tea when a host offers it. Are you sure you don't want any?"
"I'm sure, sir."
"So, your godfather brought someone else to live in your house. How do you feel about that?" The Headmaster peered at him over his half moon glasses and Draco buckled down his shields.
"She's alright. I don't have a problem with her. She's a good cook."
"Is he teaching her magic?"
The Headmaster set a cup of tea in front of him, and he acted like he was about to take a sip but then intentionally spilled it all over himself. A quick wave of his wand and an Evanesco cleaned it up.
"Sorry, sir, I'm a bit shaky. I need to eat supper."
"Yes, of course. I was hoping you could tell me more about your house guest first. You did not answer my question. Is Professor Snape teaching her magic?"
Draco shrugged. "He showed her a spell or two. Not much."
Albus sat back and steepled his fingers. "So when did he restore her magic?"
Draco pretended to be trying to think. "Hmmm…. I think it was a week or two after she came, but I don't really know."
"Were you there when he did it?"
"No, sir, I was not."
"Draco, I'd like you to send her an owl inviting her to come here to the school. She will be my guest."
"Sir, I don't think she wants to go anywhere. She's shy and doesn't want to leave the house." Draco kept his voice even, but he was angry that the Headmaster thought he was so easily manipulated.
"Shy? Now why would that stop her? I insist, send her an owl. She'd love to visit, I'm sure."
"Sir, perhaps you should speak to my godfather about inviting her to visit Hogwarts. I don't think she would come if I invited her."
"Well, if you continue to refuse, then I see no place for you on the Slytherin Quidditch team this year."
Narrowed grey stared back at twinkling blue.
"Good day, sir. I'm going to go eat supper now." He stood up and walked out. All the way to his godfather's office, he was fuming.
After reaching it, he sat down in the chair opposite the professor with so much force that the chair moved.
Severus warded the door, noticing the boy's demeanor.
"Well…?"
"He tried to give me candy, then tea, which I spilled on purpose after refusing it twice. Then he tried to find out if you were teaching her magic and when it got restored. He asked if I was there when it got restored. Why wasn't I there, now that I think about it?"
"You just weren't and that's all you need to know." He knew the look on his godfather's face, it meant he was to stop asking questions.
"What else?"
"He kept trying to get me to send her an owl inviting her here and I refused, so he took me off the Quidditch team."
"He what?" Severus jumped to his feet. "That's my jurisdiction who is on the Slytherin team."
"He says I had no place on the team if I didn't send her an owl."
The professor paced back and forth behind his desk, his face reddened and his fists clenched.
He finally stopped and turned his attention back to Draco.
"I'll try talking to him. I don't think it will do any good, though. Are you ready to go eat?"
Both walked to the Great Hall in silence.
When Severus took his seat at the head table, Dumbledore greeted him. "Good evening, Severus. I trust your godson is well. It must be difficult to be responsible for two individuals now, particularly if protecting one endangers the other."
Severus looked the Headmaster in the eye and raised his head so they were exactly eye to eye. Then he crossed his arms. "I assure you, I am more than capable of the task and all individuals under my protection shall remain safe."
"And what of Lily's child? I trust you have not forgotten him?"
"No, I have not. I will repeat myself. I am more than capable of protecting all individuals under my care."
"She must have sung a nice song to earn such protection so fast." The Headmaster winked. "I would love for her to sing for me."
Severus pushed back from his chair. "I believe I've lost my appetite with all this dinnertime chatter." He pushed back on his chair and left without eating.
That weekend, they both visited home. Shari asked about Quidditch and they told her about Dumbledore taking Draco off the team because he wouldn't try to trick her into visiting the school.
"When is the first game supposed to be?" Wheels were turning in her mind.
"Two weeks from today." Draco's frustration was evident in his voice.
"And if one team completely refuses to play, what happens?"
"I guess there's no game, then."
"What if… the rest of the Slytherin team flew out to the pitch but then instead of starting the game, they knelt on the ground with their brooms instead of playing and insisted on you being allowed to play? You're the seeker, right? They need you and he knows it."
Draco and Severus looked at each other for a long moment. "It might work. Or we could end up just forfeiting the game, too."
Severus looked over at her. "Where did you get this idea from?"
"A few years back or so, pro football players wanted to protest police brutality towards people of color, so they started kneeling for the national anthem instead of standing. It caused quite a stir. This would be a bit different, since your team would actually be refusing to play at all."
"Did it make a difference?"
"It called attention to the problem. Years and lots of protests later, it still happens way too much. I took part in protests the last two summers, one at my apartment complex after they shot an unarmed man of color."
Draco looked interested. "Can I see it? Will you put your memories in a pensieve, I mean?"
"Yes, I can."
She focused on the memories of the protests and helping to run medical aid booths, being arrested outside the community center at the apartment complex protest and helping women to walk through Bible thumper protest lines to get into Planned Parenthood clinics.
Both Slytherins entered the pensieve together. Severus smiled and nodded at her when he emerged, and Draco looked impressed.
"Wow, Shari. You're a badass!
She smiled shyly. "Thanks, but I don't know that I am. I just am vocal about what I believe in."
Severus walked up and wrapped his arms around her, then kissed her forehead. "You get your fighting spirit from Yagar and Scorpio. No doubt about it."
Draco stood up and shook his head. "I'm going to bed before it gets past PG in here."
After he had shut his door, Severus picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him. He carried her to the couch and sat down with her straddling over him.
"So do you know which houses they were in?"
"Slytherin. Yagar and Scorpio were in Slytherin. I think you would have been sorted into either Gryffindor or Slytherin."
Shari started loosening the buttons on his shirt. "So how did Scorpio become evil? How did it start? Was he as powerful as the Dark Lord?"
He started talking as he eased her tee shirt off and started undoing her bra.
"He was close to it. He had unusual physical strength and was very powerful magically. While in school, he was known for creating curses and was feared by many. Many started following him so they wouldn't get on his bad side. He grew more powerful after graduation and took many lives, but he was defeated by one of his own spells."
Shari stood up and slipped off her pants and knickers, and he slipped his off, then cast a muffliato. She climbed back over his lap and slowly slid onto him, hissing in pleasure at the sensation of him inside of her. She started a slow rhythm of moving over him as his hands grabbed tightly onto her ass. She grabbed his hair as his mouth chased her bouncing breasts.
As their breathing both became faster and more erratic, she increased her rhythm until he reached a peak and she collapsed over him right after. As she lay her head on his shoulder, she heard him whisper "you are so beautiful".
A few minutes later, he nodded towards their bedroom. "Let's go."
They both gathered up their clothes and hurried in, then he secured the room while she laid back down. Then they spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.
*;.*;.*;.*;.*;.*;.*;.
The day of the Quidditch game was cool but clear. Draco had discussed with the Slytherin team members his plan. He waited in the stands, broom stashed under the bench he sat on and his uniform under his black school robes.
After the Gryffindors had flown in and were circling the pitch, the Slytherins flew in but instead of circling they flew to the ground and knelt in a line with their brooms. Draco pulled his robe off and quickly grabbed his broom and joined them.
Students started shouting at them from the stands to get back up in the air and play, but they just stayed silently in their positions.
The Headmaster turned to Severus. "What is the meaning of this?"
"They are refusing to play until Draco is reinstated on the team after being wrongfully removed." The professor kept his voice even and looked straight into the Headmaster's eyes.
"You tell them to get back on their brooms immediately and start the game."
"Would you like me to tell the whole faculty here why he was removed from the team in the first place?" Severus kept his voice cool and calm.
Cold blue eyes stared back at him. "He was caught cheating on an examination."
"You know he did no such thing. I'll ask you again. Shall I tell the rest of our faculty the true reason he was removed or will you reinstate him straight away?"
"Very well, Severus. He can be reinstated, but this is not over."
"Indeed."
By this time, the Gryffindors had landed on the ground and were talking to the Slytherins about why they were refusing to play. Severus waved Madame Hooch over and told her Draco could play.
The game commenced and Slytherin won.
When Severus returned to his quarters well after the game, expecting a shower and a peaceful glass of whiskey by the fire, Albus was in his sitting room.
"To what do I owe this pleasure, Headmaster?" His tone was mostly neutral, but his displeasure at seeing the man was evident.
"She rightfully belongs to me by decree of her great great grandfather." The man's manner was easy, but his tone of voice had an edge to it.
"She belongs to nobody. Yagar Borlosi promised you his daughter, not any ancestor you choose to keep as a sex slave. In fact, I believe both he and Scorpio would object strongly to what you intend to do with her."
"What I intend to do with her is have an heir that will have both Borlosi and Dumbledore blood."
"Do you think I am ignorant as to how that heir would be created? She told you she would rather die than allow you to touch her and she meant it." His voice grew louder and he clenched his fist.
"Severus, do you think I am ignorant as to how her magic was tempered after you restored it? I know what that involves."
This confirmed what the potioneer had suspected, that Albus knew the process. "Every touch of it was consensual, which is more than I can say for your intentions to impregnate her without her consent."
"Is your protection of her dependent on her performance?" Albus raised his eyebrows at him.
Severus shook his head at him, incredulous. "Of course not." At least that's what he told himself. She had not seemed to believe it when he had told her the same that summer.
He turned and stood closely to the Headmaster. "Might I remind you that the texts I studied clearly stated that when using sexual intercourse as a tempering for restored magic, it is critical that it be completely consensual. To do otherwise would create dark and evil magic in the individual. Or was that your intention? To create an evil pawn who would do your magical and sexual bidding?"
All twinkling left the Headmaster's eyes and his voice was as cold as a gravestone. "You go too far, Severus. You will bring her to me by the end of this term or Draco will be expelled and placed in the custody of his Aunt Bellatrix."
"Bellatrix LeStrange is in Azkaban."
"I will facilitate her release. You have two months. Decide who you truly want to protect, her or Draco."
With that, the Headmaster stepped into the fireplace and flooed to his office.
Severus flooed to the Leaky Cauldron, then sent a patronus to Kingsley Shacklebolt and Tonks. They met him in a muggle pub and he relayed the conversation with the Headmaster, as well as the events of the previous weeks.
"What would she do if she knew he was threatening Draco? How well do you know her, Severus?" Kingsley was skeptical that she might sacrifice the boy to save herself.
"I am still getting to know her, as she is me, but I believe she would sacrifice herself to save him. She seems to be starting to care for him; making sure he eats, gets enough sleep and does his homework. She denies having had any children, but there's something maternal about her and I have a feeling she did."
Tonks nodded her head. "Yes, I had that impression as well. When I asked her if she had any, she hesitated before saying she didn't. But can anyone blame her for lying if she did, considering the circumstances she was brought to us under? Especially if she has any daughters."
"Right." Both men nodded. She was brought to wizarding Britain by a supposed trusted leader to be a sex slave and a brood mare, of course she would lie to protect any daughters from the same fate.
"Best not to ask her, though. She needs to believe they are safe, if they exist." Tonks took a sip of her drink and eyed up Severus. She wondered if he would mind if she called on Shari alone.
"So about this new threat from Albus. How are we going to address this?" Severus looked at the two Aurors.
"I don't think we should tell either of them about it at this point." Kingsley drained the last of his drink. "If she is who you two think she is, she'll turn herself over to him to protect the boy. We also don't want to upset Draco unnecessarily if we don't need to."
"As Head Auror, what are you able to do to prevent him facilitating her release?"
"I'll tell Mad Eye that we received intelligence that Voldemort is trying to get his followers released from Azkaban and to keep constant vigilance on them."
"Actually, I think that isn't too far from the truth, anyway."
After the three of them were done, Tonks caught up with Severus outside.
"Wotcher, Snape! How is she doing?"
"She's alright." He sighed. "Lonely, I think, now that Draco and I are back at Hogwarts. The Slytherin team's protest today was her idea."
"Was it really? Wow!"
"Yeah, she's done her share of protests, in her old life. Ask her about it."
"Do you object to me visiting her on my own?" A grin played at the corners of Tonk's mouth.
"Of course not." He glanced at her, not naive to what would be occurring. "I think she would enjoy that."
"So you don't mind sharing her?"
"Not with you. Unfortunately, I really need to get back, so I won't be joining you. Have fun!"
Tonks smiled. "Oh, I'm sure we will."
She apparated to Spinner's End and knocked on the door, unsure if the woman would let her in.
The door opened a crack and the Auror found a wand pressed to her throat.
"What kind of biscuit did Molly give me the day I was brought here?"
"Chocolate."
She saw a cascade of red curls as Shari opened the door and pulled her into a hug after re-warding the door.
"It is so nice to see you! It will be nice to have some female company. I live with two guys and while I love them both, it gets tedious. Plus, it's been lonely with them gone." Shari headed to the kitchen, so Tonks followed her.
"It's nice to see you, too! I see he's been training you well."
"Yes. We spent the whole summer training." She pulled out two glasses and made them each a Whiskey Sour.
Her eyebrows raised as she took a sip. "Hey, this is good. Did you ever consider being a bartender?"
Shari smiled. "Yes, actually. I ended up working as a nurse for five years, though. But, maybe after all this Handmaid shit is over, I'll get trained and do it."
"That sounds like a plan." She took another sip as they walked to the sitting room. "This isn't the first time you've referenced something about Handmaids. Do you mind telling me what that's about?"
"Sure. It is a muggle book about a dystopian society that was turned into a TV show in my world. Fertility rates were dropping drastically. A religious extremist group took over most of the US and forced fertile women to be sex slaves and baby machines. From day one when I was taken, I've felt like a Handmaid." Shari closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She wondered if Tonks knew that Voldemort also had his sights set on her.
The Auror shuddered. "That sounds horrid. I don't even think I could watch that."
"I had to leave the room for a lot of it. Those supposedly god-fearing people were sick fucks." She finished her drink and stood up to make more. "Speaking of sick fucks, I guess Voldemort knows I'm here somehow and has his sights set on me as well."
"What? Did Snape tell him?" The two women walked back out to the kitchen. Shari made another round of Whiskey Sours.
"What? No, of course not. He took a few rounds of the Cruciatus this summer for refusing to bring me to him or reveal my location. He thinks it was a dirty Auror."
"Yeah, we've got some of those." Tonks took a sip of the drink handed to her. "What do we say we stop talking about all this and go drink these in your bedroom?"
Shari smiled over her glass. "Sounds good to me."
After they had reached the bedroom the redhead shared with the potioneer, the other woman took her drink from her and pushed her against the wall.
Moans, whispers, sighs and kisses filled the air as they pulled each other's clothes off.
The American buried her face in Tonk's breasts, kissing, sucking and caressing them. Then their mouths met and she was pressed back against the wall. Their hands found each other's heat as their tongues connected. Moans filled the air as they reached what would be the first of many orgasms that night.
As day broke, Tonks left following one final passionate kiss.
She arrived at work that night to find she had been scheduled for graveyard shifts every night for the next three weeks. On the opposite side of the country from Spinner's End.
As she looked over her schedule, she heard Mad Eye behind her muttering about her keeping questionable company.
"That American witch is dangerous. Albus told me the Dark Lord brought her here and Snape is hiding her. I've got a trace on her, so if she ever leaves her house, we'll know exactly where she is and he can grab her. I know you were near Cokeworth last night. Were you with her?"
"What? No. I have distant relatives that live there." It wasn't a lie. The Prince family was distant relatives of the Blacks.
He looked at her like he didn't believe her. "If you see her, report it to me immediately. She's descended from that dark wizard Scorpio Borlosi. She's probably as evil as he was."
Tonks looked up and saw Shacklebolt watching the interaction. After the grizzled man limped out the door, they moved towards a corner of the room under the guise of making coffee. "Muggle pub again, tonight?"
The man nodded, glancing around. "I'll owl him."
During breakfast, an owl dropped a message into the professor's eggs.
Slytherins are green
They share drinks at Nines
With Aurors and friends
At sundown for Vines
The pub was named Nine Vines. He immediately incinerated it, knowing it meant Tonks and Kingsley needed to see him.
Later that evening, the two of them sat in the same pub with Severus, relaying the confrontation with Mad Eye.
"He put a trace on her, and knew you were there last night?"
"He knew I was near your house and assumed I was with her. I did not confirm it and played completely ignorant as to her existence."
"You didn't tell her of last night's meeting, correct?"
"Of course not. We had other matters to occupy us," Tonks answered with a brief grin.
Severus smirked at her over his drink, and Kingsley paused over his own as he saw the look they exchanged. "Alright, then. I see you both are close to her. But don't lose sight of the fact that she's got a powerful wizard after her."
The Potion Master set his drink down. "Two, actually. The Dark Lord is aware of her existence and has set his sights on her as well."
"Just bloody perfect. I don't believe Mad Eye really believes the Dark Lord brought her here. I think he knows what Albus wants with her and doesn't care."
"He probably hopes he'll get his turn as well. I've never fully trusted him." Tonks looked up at Shacklebolt and shook her head. The man knew of Mad Eye's harassment and had intervened more than once, for her and others. She didn't want Snape knowing about it. He gave a slight nod of his head.
"So I've stressed to her the importance of staying in the house, but if her loneliness gets the best of her it might drive her to rash decisions." Severus reflected on how passionate and impulsive his new girlfriend was. "I can't get home as often as I'd like, because I'm teaching all the DADA classes as well as NEWT level potions."
"Do what you can, I know she misses you."
"Yeah, I will. We'll both visit home next weekend."
The following weekend, Severus and Draco did make it home for a day and a night. They taught her how to play exploding snap, Shari introduced them to fish tacos and Eucker, and they got to know her radio. It played music according to her mood, whether she wanted it to or not.
When Shari sprinkled habanero hot sauce on her taco, Draco held his hand out for her to pass it to him so he could try it.
"It's hot."
"I know!"
"Okay…"
He took a bite, swallowed it and loudly said "Ha!".
The smile disappeared from her face and she got a faraway look in her eyes.
The radio kicked on with Phil Collins and she quickly wiped a tear from her cheek as it played. She had sung this song to the girl when she was a baby and it hit her straight to the core.
"'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always"
When she looked up, she realized they were both watching her. She forced a smile, then jumped up and hurried to the kitchen. She leaned against the window, the cold surface providing a grounding. Her mind was on a sassy teen with red curls who had once eaten a hot sauce as a toddler and then loudly proclaimed "HA!" afterwards. For a quick moment, she felt like screaming out all her grief and longing. Then she remembered her new family and the need to put on a good face for this strange world and protect the hot sauce eating redhead at all costs. She remembered a line from Deathly Hallows two. "No one must know."
Little did she know, on a radio thousands of miles and a whole dimension away, an American woman and a teenager were listening to the same song.
She made herself think of funny scenes from Everybody Loves Raymond and by the time she sat back down at the table, she was laughing.
A pair of black eyes wasn't so fooled, however.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm okay. Just indigestion."
Unfortunately, just like at other times of stress when she finally laughed about something, she got the giggles and started laughing uncontrollably. Funny things came flooding back to her mind, things they had laughed at in her old life. If she didn't laugh hysterically, she'd cry, so she chose to laugh.
She was aware both Severus and Draco were watching her like she was nuts. A vial flew through the air and landed in the potioneer's hand, having been silently summoned. At one point, she thought she had it under control, but then she remembered a dream about the Wild Thing video being sung by Voldemort instead of Tone Loc and lost it again.
"Workin' all week 9 to 5 for my money
So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey"
She had worked a long night shift and then stayed up to drink with her wife. They had watched Deathly Hallows 1 and 2 and she had also at some point watched that music video and it had all jumbled together in a crazy microdream about Voldemort and Death Eaters singing Wild Thang.
She sobered quickly at the thought of the bald cunt learning of the girl's existence and how quickly she would throw herself into his bed or under his wand to protect her. The same with the bearded cunt. Lots of cunts.
Protect her at all costs. That one mantra she had to live by. Nothing else mattered. Do whatever it takes.
"Say it for me, say it to me, and I'll leave this life behind me, say it if it's worth saving me"
(Nickelback)
She finally sat up straight, having fully sobered out of the plague of laughter that had overcome her.
"Again, are you alright?"
"Yes, all the stress of this got to me and I finally cracked up, I guess. I'm back to normal, whatever that may be when I'm hiding from two dark wizards in this strange and hostile world."
"Here." Severus handed her the vial. "I think you need this." Shari decided not to argue and just drank it.
Draco was looking at her curiously. "Did you just call Professor Dumbledore a dark wizard?"
"With the information I have and what I've seen of him, yes, I am calling him a dark wizard."
They exchanged a look and Shari wondered how much Draco knew about why she was there.
While she was beating them at Eucker during the third game, the radio decided to play "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar.
Later that night, in front of the fire over glasses of whiskey, it played Noah Cyrus.
"Couldn't hear the thunder, but I heard your heart race
Couldn't see the rain, we're too busy makin' hurricanes (yeah)
Love ain't easy when it ain't my way
But it gets hard, when you ain't here makin' me crazy"
"You don't have to explain what it was that happened earlier. I can tell something is important to you."
Shari sighed. "Surely you understand wanting to protect someone or something at any and all costs." She knew he understood that very well indeed.
Now it was his turn to sigh. "Yes, I do. I won't bring it up again."
His thoughts turned to memories of Lily and her thoughts dwelled on a teenage redhead who was probably practicing with her Winterguard team at the moment. Shari hoped she still could get on with her life without her.
After polishing off her third glass of whiskey, she looked up at Severus. He was gazing intently into the fire, but turned and looked at her when he felt her eyes on him. She noticed his eyes looked sad.
Shari stood up and sat on his lap, resting her head on his shoulder. She ran her fingers through his hair while he rubbed her back.
"Shari, promise me you'll stay in the house. Albus Dumbledore has at least one Auror looking for you, and they have a trace on you that will activate if you leave and tell them where you are. Tonks and Shacklebolt are doing what they can to get it taken off and to protect you, but they can only do so much when Albus has people in his pocket."
"Do they know she was here the other night?"
"Yes. They do. Mad Eye scheduled her every single night for three weeks on the other side of the country. He's not to be trusted. He knows what Albus wants with you and he's insistent on getting you to him anyway."
"Seriously? That's shitty."
"I agree. But that's enough about that. Why don't you tell me about your night with Tonks?"
Shari stood up and straddled his lap.
"Well, first we drank. I made whiskey sours with lemons, oranges, simple syrup and whiskey. Then we went in our bedroom and started kissing and pulling each other's clothes off. Then we made out against the door."
Severus let out a groan and she grinded her crotch against his.
"Did you play with her tits again?"
"Of course." She pulled her shirt and bra off. "I love tits as much as you do." He grabbed her breasts and buried his face in them as she continued to talk. "I kissed 'em and sucked on 'em and squeezed 'em." She paused as her breath caught as he took a nipple into his mouth while gently squeezing her other breast.
"Mmmm… what else did you do?"
"I licked every centimeter of her pussy while she moaned and wiggled. I stuck two fingers inside her until I made her cum. Then she licked my pussy and I came all over her face. We both fell asleep curled up together."
"You stuck two fingers inside her like this?" He stuck his hand inside her pants and inserted two fingers inside her.
Shari let out a loud groan. "Yes!"
"Then what?"
"Then she sat on my face and we ate each other out. Then we fell asleep again and she left after we woke up."
"Damn that sounds hot. I want you to do something for me."
"What?" He was thrusting his fingers inside her now, and she could feel herself getting close.
"Take your pants off, and sit on my lap and touch yourself."
Shari stood up and stripped off the rest of her clothes. Totally naked, she straddled his lap.
"I'll hold onto you so you don't fall." He wrapped his hands around her back and sat back in the chair. "Go on."
Shari closed her eyes and dipped two fingers into her vagina to get them wet, then started rubbing her clit. Her pussy was soaked and her clit was swollen. She had touched herself countless times before, but never with an audience.
She inserted two fingers from her other hand into her vagina and started thrusting them in and out while rubbing her clit. She heard Snape groan.
She leaned back against his hands that were holding her securely on his lap. Her breaths came faster and she let out little groans as she felt herself getting closer to a climax. Heat built up in her gut and she wet her fingers again with her pussy juices and rubbed her clit even harder.
She heard him groan again and leaned further against his hands as electricity shot through her body and her fingers, as well as his pants, became soaked with her own juices.
As her breathing started to slow, she opened her eyes. His eyes locked onto her face. "Wow!"
He stood up with her in his arms and started carrying her to his bedroom. She summoned her clothes and they flew into her hands.
After he had laid her down on the bed, he pulled his clothes off and climbed over her. They made love all night long, and the first rays of the morning sun found them tangled up in each other's arms.
Severus was awakened by a gentle knock at the door. He looked down at Shari to make sure she was covered, then waved it open. Her wavy red locks were spread across his chest as her head lay on his shoulder and her arm was across his abdomen.
Draco stood on the doorway, a piece of parchment in his hand. "An owl came for you." He held his hand up and it flew from his hand to the Potion Master's.
"Thank you. Now go." The younger wizard nodded and closed the door.
Severus unfolded the parchment and read it. His stomach dropped.
"Bellatrix has been released from Azkaban. Mad Eye is doubling his efforts to find Shari. It is critical she stay put. Meet us at the Muggle Pub tonight at eight."
His agitated sigh woke her up. She smiled sleepily at the sight of him and pressed a kiss to his cheek. She was about to kiss his mouth when she noticed it was in the shape of a frown.
"What's wrong?"
"They're doubling their efforts to find you." He waved his hand at the parchment and it quickly flashed and turned to ash. He did not want her to know about the Headmaster's threat to hand over custody of Draco to Bellatrix if he didn't turn Shari over to him. He was still hoping that he, Tonks and Shacklebolt could find a way around it.
