There's Love In Information
C9: Growing Ever Closer
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
The next Saturday Nymphadora woke up curled up against her lover, which was their normal mode of waking up ever since they had started dating, but this was the first time she wanted to just stay close to him instead of wanting him to fuck her until they were both sated.
Fabian pulled her closer and pressed a kiss to her neck. "Good morning love. Did you sleep okay?" He asked lovingly.
She nodded at him. "Of course I did. I slept in your arms after all, but what surprised me more is that I'm feeling content to just stay close to you instead of wanting you to ravage me."
He smiled at her as he pulled her on top of him. "Perhaps we are finally settling into our relationship a bit, and not driven by the lust that drove us in the beginning. Perhaps we're becoming a domestic couple.
She quirked an eyebrow at that. "Domestic? Us? I don't think that will ever happen Fabe. We're both way too chaotic for domesticity. What I do agree with is that we're settling into our relationship, so with that said, what do you want to do today?"
He smiled and pulled her down into a kiss. "How about we have breakfast first and then just go back to bed. We have deserved a day where we are allowed to be lazy."
She smiled at that. "How about this then. We call Jupi and ask him to make us a nice breakfast in bed?"
"And here I thought you liked it when I cooked for you." He said with a playful pout.
Nymphadora smiled at that. "You didn't tell me that was an option. I love your cooking."
He smiled and kissed her. "Then I will cook us something special. I'll be right back love."
"I'll be waiting with anticipation, baby." She said with a soft smile as he summoned his robe to him and then made his way downstairs.
This left her alone to think for a bit, and if she was honest there were a lot of things she wanted to run by her lover now that they had the chance. She loved her life here at home, but she felt that they were ready for something that they could make a home for themselves.
She didn't know how Fabian would feel about this, but she hoped that he would be open to a bit of a house hunt with her. She also knew that there were a couple of properties that the family owned they could make their own and she knew which one she would pick should they have the option.
It was a nice cabin style home in the countryside where they had spent numerous summers with their mothers running around in the garden when they were younger, usually with Luna right there with them. She knew the cabin had a lot of good memories for both of them and she would love to make more with him, preferably with a couple of little ones running around, eventually.
She knew that it would take a few years before they were ready for children, but that she wanted children with Fabian was something she had wanted since she was young, as bad as it sounded at the time, and sometimes even now it felt like they were doing something wrong.
Another thing that had been at the forefront of her mind recently was her assault at the hands of Bill and Charlie Weasley a couple of years ago after she had rejected them.
She had spent most of the time gathering evidence against them, and she was close to being able to present her case to Madame Bones, but that was before she had the opportunities she had now within their own department. She was sure that once they had dealt with the Death Eaters, the others would help her get justice for her.
She was so caught up in her inner musings that she barely noticed her lover come back carrying a big tray loaded with breakfast foods for the both of them, and floating beside him were a carafe of orange juice and a pot of what she suspected would be coffee. "You really went all out for this breakfast love, are we celebrating something?"
He smiled and kissed her softly as he summoned up a table. "Not particularly, but I thought we deserved something special, especially once work will start to pick up again, which I have a feeling it will pretty soon. Madame Bones will be coming in for a meeting on Monday to talk about the information we got from Yaxley and from there come up with a plan on how to proceed, and probably to talk about how she is going to handle Harry's altercation with Hermione and Mom."
Nymphadora smiled at him as she cuddled up to him, pouring them both a cup of coffee. "Goody. I can't wait for Monday then, but could we not talk about work during the weekend?"
He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Of course love, sorry. I hope you enjoy your breakfast. I did my best to take a bit of everything, because I know how much you love a bit of variation."
She smiled and kissed him softly. "I love how you know me so well. It's almost as if we've been living together for years." She said with a teasing wink.
"Have been and will be, my Nymph." He said softly.
Nymphadora smiled at that. "We should probably talk about that at some point, because I'll be very honest and say that I've had some thoughts about that."
"So have I baby, and I have a feeling I know what you want when it comes to us living together." He said with a soft smile.
She smiled at him. "That's probably because you know me too well, but I would love to hear your thoughts about it."
He smiled as he pulled her into his side. "I've actually been busy working on something already in our spare time. I know how much you love the countryside cabin, and I've been working with someone to have it updated a bit, make it more suitable for day to day occupation and to house some more people."
She smiled brightly at that. "So you're saying you're already converting our favorite summer home to something we could live in together, and will have room for an eventual family?"
He nodded at her. "That's amazing, plus I love your foresight, my love." She said as she kissed him.
"We both have very good memories of that cabin, and I would love to make more with the woman I love more than anything in the world." He said softly.
Nymphadora smiled at him as she curled into his side, the two lovers enjoying most the rest of their breakfast mostly in silence, talking mostly about their shared future.
…
While Fabian and Nymphadora decided to spend their day in bed with each other, Bellatrix and Hermione were once again in the library, although this time it wasn't for research, but mostly because they felt like reading together.
They were cuddled up together while trying to read from the same book, Hermione sitting between the raven haired witch's legs while Bellatrix traced random lines across her lover's stomach, pressing soft kisses to her lover's neck periodically. "What are you thinking about love? I can almost hear the wheels in your head turning." Bellatrix asked softly.
"Quite a few things actually, mostly about us. We've fallen together so quickly and seamlessly that I can't help but think of our future together. I also can't help but wonder about things that are still to come for us. Where will we live? Will we still be able to have a family of our own?" The brunette said almost frantically.
Bellatrix smiled and placed the book on the couch next to them so she could pull Hermione flush against her body. "Relax love, these are all things we can talk about. What would you like to start with?"
Hermione smiled and relaxed against the warm body of her soulmate. "I suppose a home that we could make our own is pressing most on my mind at the moment."
"We have a lot of options there my love. Our family has a lot of properties that we can easily convert into a home for us. This Manor was designed for a big family, but we all knew eventually that this would not be the most practical of homes. I would dare say Fabian would let us have any property we want beside the cabin in the country." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at that. "I would love a home in the country though, with a gigantic library where we could lose ourselves in and enough room to raise a family, if that is something you want of course. I would hate to assume."
Bellatrix smiled at her and pressed a kiss against her neck. "I would love to raise a family with you, my love. One thing about us being soulmates is a part of the marriage ritual that will actually bring my age more in line with yours, giving us a lot more time together. I don't know if I could go through another pregnancy though, not to mention the fact that it might even be dangerous."
"I would gladly carry our children, baby. Honestly I'm looking forward to that, but why would it be dangerous?" Hermione asked softly.
"It's a bit of a long story, but I suppose we have time for that now. In order to make sure our family stayed as pure as possible, my great grandmother placed a powerful curse on our family that made it that women in the family could only have one child safely so they could bear their husbands a male heir. Every child after the first male born would have a large chance of being either a stillborn or a miscarriage, and while I know that sounds bad, it actually was worse before my sisters and I were able to break a part of the curse. Any child that would be conceived by a Muggleborn or Muggle would most of the times die within the first year of its life, but thankfully we broke that part of the curse to make it so that those children would be born as Metamorphmagi, which is what happened to Dora."
Hermione nodded at that. "I can't believe that anyone would put such a curse on their own family. Weren't all marriages arranged so they could make sure there would only be pureblood children born?"
"There were, but ninety percent of families only wanted one heir for the family, my parents were a bit cursed that Cissy and Andi lived through their first year and that I was born a girl. They had tried various rituals after I was born to try to ensure a boy, but it wasn't meant to be, which is why it passed to Regulus and later to Sirius, and it has now passed to Fabian because of the antiquated idea of men needing to be the head of a family." Bellatrix said softly.
Hermione smiled and kissed her softly. "That is something we are going to change together love. I'm sure we can get Kingsley on our side, because we both know that system has been unsustainable for a very long time."
Bellatrix nodded and smiled at that. "It's one of the many things we are going to change after the Death Eaters have been caught and tried or killed."
Hermione nodded at that. "That's a good prospect then, and we will also make sure that some other thorns in our side will know why it isn't a good idea to oppose us or the ideas we have."
"I assume that you are talking about Potter and Weasley here love?" Bellatrix asked with a smile.
"Of course I am. Harry proved beyond a shadow of a doubt he still believes in Dumbledore's words as much a Ron still does. I don't know if they can be made to see the light, which is why we're going to join Fabian and Dora at work on Monday to personally inform Madame Bones of what happened, and perhaps assist them on their information gathering, I'm actually kind of curious how Fabian and Dora run things." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Bellatrix smiled at that. "I know, Fabian told me this morning while he was making breakfast for himself and Dora. I'm actually wondering about how they run things myself. They tend to feed off each other's chaotic nature when left alone too long."
"Don't I know it. I've spend enough Christmases here to know how they act when together, plus I've seen how they've danced around each other romantically that I am pretty sure that their chaotic nature will be at least a bit tempered because they're happy to finally be together." Hermione said with a soft smile.
"I actually see a lot of parallels between them and us. We're just as addicted to each other's bodies as they are and are just as sappy with each other." Bellatrix said with a smile.
Hermione nodded and kissed her lover softly before cuddling closer to her raven haired witch, the two talking about everything and nothing for most of the morning, only stopping for a few moments to have a light lunch.
…
By the time Fabian and Dora were properly done with their breakfast, it was almost noon and by now they had gotten out of bed and had taken a seat on the comfortable sofa in their room, neither of them wearing a stitch of clothing. "Have I told you recently how much I love not having to wear clothes when we're alone?" Dora said as she stretched out against his side.
He smiled at her. "No, but we haven't really spent any naked time together beside when we're in bed, and I have to admit it is liberating, plus I will never say no to feeling your naked body against mine."
Dora smiled and straddled him. "I feel exactly the same love, and it certainly saves time when we feel the urge again, and to be honest I am. I'm so hot for you."
He kissed her softly as he gently pinched one of her pierced nipples. "What are you in the mood for then, my Nymph?"
"Let me ride you Fabian. It's been so long since I've felt every inch of your cock stirring up my insides." She said with a husky tone.
He smiled and groaned softly as she stroked his cock to full hardness. "May I ask for one thing then love?"
She nodded and kissed him. "Of course love. You know you can ask me anything."
"Let me play with your ass too, it's getting so difficult keeping my hands from it lately." He said softly.
Dora smiled at that. "You don't have to ask permission for that love. I love it when you play with my ass."
He smiled and kissed her deeply as she lowered herself onto his cock, his hands firmly planting themselves on her butt as she slowly started moving. "I love how tight you always are. It's the perfect vice around my cock."
Nymphadora smiled at him as she nuzzled his neck. "It's all for you my love. It's the best use of my gift ever. I will use everything my gift gives me to pleasure you at every opportunity."
Fabian smiled and nuzzled her neck in return, pressing soft kisses against the pale skin. "I love you so much Dora. I don't know why I've denied it for so long."
She smiled and kissed him. "I love you too baby, always have and always will, there is no need for us to look back on things when all that matters is now and the future."
He smiled and pressed a kiss to her neck. "You're right of course, but I can't help but feel so stupid for denying what we both wanted and needed for so long."
Dora smiled at him and as she looked into his eyes she saw what he needed. "Take me to bed love, I'm going to prove to you that you've done nothing wrong. Let me love you like you deserve to be loved for once."
He nodded at her as she lifted herself off him before walking over to the bed and laying down. "My body is yours love, do to me what you wish." She said softly.
Fabian smiled and crawled onto the bed, kissing her softly as he slowly slid his cock into her, setting a slow and loving rhythm that they would both enjoy. "It's in times like this when there is nothing between us that I know that you are the only one for me. I love you so much Nym."
She smiled and kissed him. "I love you too Fabian, and the same is true for me. There is no one that evokes the feelings in me that you do."
"If I could get away with it, I would ask you to marry me tomorrow, but I know we can't do that by the virtue of our family, but know that one day soon I am going to propose in a way that fits us." He said softly.
"And while I am anxiously waiting for that day, take all the time you want baby. May I ask for one thing for now though?" She asked softly.
He nodded at her. "Of course love, you know you may ask me anything."
"Would you please fuck my ass? We've talked about this for so long, and I really can't wait anymore. I need you to claim the only virgin hole I have left." She said with a soft smile.
Fabian nodded and slowly pulled out of her. "Of course, I just can't be held responsible for not being able to keep my hands to myself at work."
She smiled at that as she got onto her hands and knees. "I think we'll live baby. The entire department knows how we act when we're together, so I doubt they'll even raise an eyebrow at it."
He nodded and kissed his way down her back while silently casting a Cleansing and Lubrication charm. "I know, I just wanted you to be forewarned. Are you ready?"
Nymphadora nodded and shivered in pleasure as he poked the tip against her most intimate hole. "As ready as I'll ever be, my love. Take what belongs to you."
He smiled and nodded as he slowly slipped his cock into her ass, making them both moan loudly. "Sweet Morgana, you're so tight Nym. It feels amazing."
"You feel even bigger back there, my love. If we're not careful I might get addicted to this. I love the feeling of you rearranging my insides."
He set a slow rhythm, letting them both get used to it. "I wouldn't exactly be opposed to that, especially since I can cum inside of you like this. It'll be a lot safer given how addicted we are to each other."
Nymphadora smiled at that. "We'll see love, we wouldn't want this to lose its shine too quickly."
"You're right love, I was mostly teasing, but I don't think I can last too long back here, you're squeezing me in all the right places." He said softly.
Dora smiled at him. "Feel free to unload any time you want love, you're tiring me out a bit with all these small orgasms. It's almost like you make me cum every time you push in."
He smiled and bent forward to kiss her neck. "Your wish is my command love." He said softly before pushing himself fully into her before he came, making her moan loudly as she too couldn't hold back her orgasm anymore.
Once they had ridden out their highs and Fabian pulled out of her, Dora wasted little time in sucking the last drops of cum from his slowly softening cock, cuddling up to him afterwards. "That was by far the most emotional bout of sex we've ever had. Are you okay baby?" She asked softly.
He pulled her close and smiled at her. "I am now, Nym. You know that sometimes my insecurities come back to haunt me."
"I know, and I will always be here for you to help you through it." She said softly.
He smiled and nodded as he pulled her back on top of him. "I know, and thank you. Want to take a shower together?"
Dora nodded and kissed him softly before rolling off him and skipping to the bathroom, with Fabian hot on her heels.
…
After their time in the library Bellatrix and Hermione took some time to wander through the garden, mostly because they were at a bit of a loss of what to do with their afternoon. That didn't stop them from enjoying their time together though because they were both clearly content to just be together.
"Bella, can I ask you something in all seriousness?" Hermione asked softly.
"Of course baby, ask me anything you want." The raven haired witch said with a loving smile.
Hermione smiled at her. "Where do you see us a couple of years from now, when we've dealt with the Death Eaters and all of the issues plaguing our society. Where do we go then?"
Bellatrix smiled and pulled the brunette into her side. "Wherever we want to go, my love, whether that is working at the Ministry or just settling down somewhere. We have the means and time to do whatever we want."
"I had a feeling you would say that, so what would you want to do? I'm very curious about that." Hermione asked softly.
"To be honest I've never really thought about it, but if I had the choice, I would love to be able to just settle down and be myself without fear of persecution. I've spent so long having to portray a role that I've nearly forgotten who I really am. I want to be able to find myself again." Bellatrix said softly.
Hermione smiled and kissed her lover softly as they took a seat beneath their favorite oak. "I know exactly how you feel love. For years I've heard the expectations people had of me, expecting me to work in the Ministry, righting whatever wrong former administrations have wrought onto the community while my ambitions lies somewhere else entirely. Perhaps once all of this is over we can be ourselves and explore our passions together."
Bellatrix smiled at that. "I would like that. I think with our combined love of knowledge that there are a lot of areas where we could find our passions in."
Hermione smiled and nodded at that. "I would like to think so too. We have a lot more in common than just our preferences in the bedroom after all." The brunette said with a wink.
Bellatrix smiled and pulled her lover into her lap before kissing her. "Cheeky lion. I certainly didn't hear you complain when I did that thing you like so much."
Hermione smiled at her. "That's because you have such nimble fingers love, and of course the fact that this was the first time you played with my butt helped a lot too."
Bellatrix grinned and pressed a kiss to her lover's neck. "To be honest that wasn't planned, but I must admit I loved the sounds you made. I could never have imagined that you were so sensitive back there."
Hermione blushed a little at that as she buried her face in her lover's inky curls. "You enjoy making me blush way too much."
Bellatrix smiled and pressed soft kiss to Hermione's cheek. "Only sometimes love, it comes with the years of having no room for inhibitions in my life. I've always been a bit of a free spirit and easily bored about almost everything. I'm sure Fabian has told you at least something about his younger years."
"He didn't actually. Our youth never really came up. I am curious how the family dynamics were when Fabian grew up." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Bellatrix smiled at her. "I won't bore you with the story of my pregnancy just yet, but Fabian was a very easy baby. All we needed to do was to place him anywhere near our chests and he would settle down, even more so when Luna was born. Pandora had a similar energy to Luna now and especially when put together Luna and Fabian were very hard to admonish, which led to a bit of a nudist lifestyle whenever we had the opportunity, so that had a lot of bearing on my future, even after Pandora had lost her life. Whenever it was the three of us in the house, we would be naked."
Hermione giggled at that. "I can just see it now, Fabian running around in his bare butt with Narcissa chasing him to put clothes on him."
"That happened once. She came to visit unannounced and saw this pale streak with black hair zoom by her as she stepped out of the Floo. Of course she was horrified and it took her nearly ten minutes to catch him and put some clothes on him, all the while admonishing him for being so vulgar. It was only when she discovered that Luna and I were as naked as he was." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Hermione couldn't help but laugh at that. "And you're the one calling me cheeky? It does explain why Fabian has no issue with walking around in just his boxers, or why Dora sometimes walked around in just her panties."
Bellatrix smiled at that. "Dora and Fabian have always been both inseparable and known to feed off each other, so when she saw that Fabian could run around naked, she quickly picked up the habit too. I wouldn't be surprised if they would try the nudist lifestyle once they are ready for that."
"I could see it too. They're both so carefree that I can just see them jumping into that, and if I am very honest, the image of that does the state of my panties no good." Hermione said with a blush.
Bellatrix smiled and kissed her lover softly. "I know what you mean love, and there is no shame in admitting that. I am well aware of the sexual aura my son possesses, it was a well calculated risk when Pandora and I performed the ritual that conceived him and later Luna, because don't let her angelic features fool you, Luna is just as, if not more freaky than Fabian."
Hermione smiled at that. "I know. Luna and I have spent many hours talking, and it is because of her that I don't blush every time something sexual happens, which when your best friend is Fabian Black, happens a lot."
"I can imagine, given the many times I've found them naked with each other doing less than chaste things, all in the name of experimentation of course." Bellatrix said with a smile.
Hermione just smiled and kissed the raven haired witch softly. "As much as I would love to continue talking about the things Luna and Fabian have done together, I would rather practice those with you. I think we have a bit of time left before dinner."
Bellatrix nodded and apparated them to their bedroom, where they spent every second until dinner exploring each other again.
…
After dinner that evening most of family was relaxing in the living room waiting for Luna to come home with her new girlfriend, someone she had been dating for a couple of months now and was apparently anxious to meet the rest of her family.
Fabian of course already knew who it was, since the two shared everything with each other and he knew her reactions better than anyone, and because he knew, so did Dora, who had also noticed some things about the petite blonde and her girlfriend.
When the two blondes appeared in the living room, Hermione gasped along with Narcissa and Andromeda while Bellatrix, Fabian and Dora just smiled at them. "As always, you never fail to amaze, dear sister." He said with a soft smile.
Luna blushed a little at that as she took Fleur's hand. "I've learned from the best, brother."
He just smiled at her as the two witches walked over to Bellatrix and Hermione. "Mom, I know you technically know her already, but this is my girlfriend Fleur Delacour."
Bellatrix smiled at them. "It's is good to see you again Ms. Delacour. I trust you remember our talk last time?"
Fleur smiled and nodded at her. "Of course, Ms. Black. I have no intentions whatsoever to break my word."
Bellatrix smiled at her. "Good. How was your date, we're all quite curious."
Luna and Fleur smiled as they took a seat. "It was lovely, and something long overdue I'd say." Luna said sweetly.
"I'm sure this won't interfere with your duties at the Department?" Fabian asked softly.
Fleur and Luna both smiled at him. "Not any more than you and Dora being together will. We know how to be discreet, if that is what you're worried about Fabian." Fleur said with a kind smile.
He smiled at that. "Of course I'm not worried about you two being discreet, I merely worry for my sister, I'm sure you understand."
"I do, but you need not worry Fabian. I have no intention of ever leaving your sister. She is my mate." Fleur said with a sweet smile to Luna.
"It seems that is a common theme for our family as of late. May I ask how you are sure about this Ms. Delacour?" Narcissa asked kindly.
Fleur smiled at the blonde. "There are two reasons a Veela will know how she has found her mate. First is instinctual. I knew when I saw Luna for the first time back at the Tri-Wizard that she was my mate, but knew I had to be patient because she was too young then. The second reason is emotional. During the war I have made sure that I protected Luna whenever and wherever I could. There are a few books that can confirm things, but those are a formality. The mating process is more instinctual and emotional than it is intellectual."
Luna smiled at that. "I felt it back then too. I've always been sensitive to emotional situations and what I felt for Fleur was instantaneous. I of course only told Fabian because I knew he would find out anyway, since he knows me too well. During the War Fleur wasted little time in bringing me to Shell Cottage so she could keep me safe, no matter how many times I asked her if she would come here with me."
Bellatrix smiled at them. "To be very honest I am glad she kept you there. The Death Eaters knew about this Manor and have attacked it several times. Shell Cottage was a lot safer, and while I have the chance, I want to thank you for taking care of Hermione so well, because while most of the damage she suffered at my hands was minor, there were times I had to do something more serious in order to make it believable."
Fleur smiled and nodded. "I know Ms. Black. Hermione told me all about it while Luna and I were tending to her."
"Please Fleur, call me Bellatrix, you are dating my daughter, so that makes you practically family." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Fleur smiled and nodded. "Very well, I only hope you forgive me if I forget sometimes. I was raised to respect people after all."
Narcissa smiled at that as she shared a look with her eldest sister. "Of course dear. There is no harm in respecting your future mother-in-law, especially when said mother-in-law is busy working on her own relationship with her soul mate."
Bellatrix only smiled at her sister as they fell into a more easy topic of conversation for the rest of the evening, and only after Fleur had gone home, the conversation turned into a more detailed questioning of Luna, who had no issue with telling them now that everything was out in the open.
