Chapter 8: School Goodbyes
Here it was, years of blood, sweat and tears in the most literal sense were finally over. And while his final year at Hogwarts had been fraught with danger it had yielded great rewards both in praise and more recently, love. However given the unusual relationship Harry had formed with the Black sisters there was a part of him that worried and to a point frightened him, as not only would he be judged by his friends and self-appointed 'relatives' but he would also have to face scrutiny by the random witch or wizard on the street corner. As this sort of news especially concerning people this famous would surely garner large amounts of attention, not all of it welcome.
Waking from his slumber to ponder this issue more thoroughly Harry then felt a weight on his chest, the weight being the sleeping forms of the two women his concern was about. Looking down at them he weighed the situation in his head and came to the conclusion most men would come to in his position, two sexy women versus the opinion of his peers? Two sexy women, done! That was more or less the thought process than ran through his mind but there was something more, something he already knew but merely felt he should remind himself. These women, Bella and Cissy who he now loved were more than simply sexual partners, even if they were that too, but now they seemed essential to him as Harry had never known such feelings of relief and contentment as he now knew. His life had taken a turn it appeared; the burden to defeat evil was no longer on his shoulders despite the remainder of Death Eater families, he was for the first time in his life truly free and he intended to keep it that way.
Moments later Harry's contemplation was broken by the ticklish feeling of hair brushing softly against his stomach; it was the curly craziness of Bella's hair that had caught his attention. When she looked up at him Bella smiled pleasantly and turned her head slightly so she could kiss his chest with her ever so soft lips.
"What was that for?" Harry asked mildly puzzled at the action.
"For last night," she replied with her trademark grin that always implied some kind of innuendo. Staring at her for a moment it suddenly hit him what had happened last night and hundreds of images of the previous evening filled his mind.
"Oh… eh, you're welcome, I…" he replied with an air of nervousness about him.
She giggled at his attempted sentence before cutting him off, "You're always so cute when you're nervous, don't worry 'bout it so much."
"Okay I'll try not to, how was I anyway?" Harry asked hoping for a positive answer.
"You were pretty damn good for a first timer," she replied with a sincere smile.
"I guess I had a good teacher," Harry replied with a glowing grin.
"Yeah, but sometime I wanna know what that dick feels like for myself," she replied with another grin and seductive kiss on the lips making Harry feel both slightly embarrassed and aroused.
"I'm sure you'll find out," he teased with genuine intent buried under some clever innuendo.
"Is that a promise Mister Potter?"
"Most definitely Miss Black," he informed her while running his hand down the arch of her back.
But as the minutes of relaxation passed Narcissa finally awoke and strained to open her eyes as the events of the previous evening had overwhelmed her. With a mild yawn she woke up only to realise she was completely naked along with Harry and her sister. Moving her hands over her breasts to cover herself she looked so precious, with the look of horror still evident on her face she asked, "Aren't you two going to cover up?"
Harry and Bella looked at each other for a moment before returning their stares to Cissy while openly laughing. Harry then opened a conversation by asking, "Who's going to see us? The boogie man?"
"Besides sis, it's not like it matters if we're nude in front of each other or not does it?" Bella teased referring to last night.
"Well no, but…" Cissy began before she then went quiet and uncovered her breasts. She crawled back over towards the middle of the sofa they were lying on and snuggled back up to Harry.
"And you think I'm cute when I'm nervous," Harry replied in gest.
Bella then smiled and replied, "Yep, but not as cute as my sister. Don't you just wanna ruffle her hair?"
"Don't you dare or Harry will have a cat fight on his hands," Narcissa replied in good humour but with a reserved seriousness.
As the three then settled down into an embrace something came to the forefront of Harry's mind, it seemed mild at first before an alarm went off in his mind. Today was his final day at Hogwarts, and being the last day there were a number of events that he had to attend. Mainly saying farewell to his school friends while also receiving the various honours that would be given to him, as well as that he couldn't very well leave the Black sisters in the Room of Requirement. They would have to be there which given their reputation Harry didn't suspect would go especially well.
"Oh shit…" Harry finally spurted out loud.
"What?" both sisters asked in almost perfect unison.
"Today. Today is my last day at Hogwarts."
"So yay, what's wrong?" Bella asked with a raised eyebrow and puzzled look.
"Well, I'm going to have to… Ya know… Introduce you," he replied now sounding petrified.
"And precisely what is wrong with introducing us?" Bella forcefully questioned, mildly annoyed at Harry's manner.
Harry gulped slightly before answering; now both Bella and Cissy were giving him icy cold stares. He gathered his thoughts and tried to explain without coming off as a stuck up prick why this was a bad situation, "Well, you two are not exactly known for your 'people skills'. Everyone, especially the other Gryffindors are going to start asking certain, questions about why I'm hanging around with you. Remember aside from Hermione they don't know about us."
In his quarters Dumbledore was sitting in his golden throne-like chair awaiting news from his latest 'assistant' in keeping 'tabs' on members of the order and various influential people within the ministry and 'higher society' as he called it. Soon though while pondering what his golden boy was up to other than not revealing much to anyone about his goings on, a few gusts of air signalled the apparition of his newest ally. One of the bonuses he gave her was the ability to apparate within the walls of Hogwarts, a luxury only he had enjoyed until she entered the equation of power two weeks ago, seemingly from nowhere.
"Headmaster," she gave a quaint bow.
"Ah my dear, what news?" he asked with a mildly anxious undertone.
She moved a few steps closer until she knew she could speak in a softer tone, wanting to make sure only Albus heard this. "It appears that Harry has started an 'intimate' relationship with his new slaves, last night I saw them, doing very, very inappropriate things within the school grounds."
"I see, well this is unexpected. I didn't believe Harry would let them live, let alone form a relationship with them. This doesn't bode well for our plan; do you know if they've bonded yet?" Dumbledore asked as if this were the last thing he would ever say.
"I can't say for certain, but I'm quite positive they haven't. Headmaster…? If they were bonded, could the plan still go through?"
Stroking the bridge of his nose Dumbledore pondered for a while longer before coming to his conclusion, "Theoretically yes, but it would complicate things. It would be significantly easier if the sisters were gone or they weren't there to begin with. It is important I ask though, what is it you hope to get out of this arrangement?"
"There is something in one of the vaults Harry is heir to that I want. Not only that I want my daughter safe and secure, and I know for a fact Harry is the way to do that."
"Very well, keep me informed but I would ask you to not do anything rash. The key to success in this venture is subtlety," Dumbledore finished with a kind but warning tone.
The woman then stepped back from Dumbledore while her green robes followed her slow pace, she then apparated away leaving a now mildly annoyed Dumbledore to ponder over the best course of action regarding this new development.
Back in the Room of Requirement Harry and the sisters were getting ready for the meeting in the Great Hall, it was scheduled for 12:30, three hours from now so that gave Harry some time. He intended to have his close friends meet the Black sisters beforehand so that they could get to know them before the main meeting. Harry also felt that a few allies couldn't hurt in a situation that could go very bad very quickly.
As all three left the safety of the room they immediately came across Ron and Ginny who weren't all too pleased, less so when they saw Bella and Cissy. Bella wasn't pleased either as Harry had explained to her earlier this morning about the fight Ginny and himself had a few days earlier. So she narrowed her eyes at the siblings and pressed her hand to the hilt of her wand, ready at a moment's notice to start hexing them. Narcissa too had her hand firmly on her wand just in case, Harry was the only one of the three to not bother readying himself. He was busy playing the gentleman to Bella and Cissy; however that was maybe not the best course of action.
"Harry! What the hell have you been playing at?" Ron started roughly with a sharp tone of voice.
"Oh, not much. Just enjoying my company," he said as his arms curled around the waists of the Black sisters.
It didn't take long for Ron and Ginny to put two and two together, or in this case Harry and two. Immediately Ginny had tears forming in the corners of her eyes and Ron drew his wand as did the sisters. "You fucked them didn't you, didn't you?! Even though you're with my sister! Fuck you!" Ron snorted angrily.
"I'm not with Ginny anymore Ron, I haven't been since she attacked me! Your sister is a complete psycho and I want nothing to do with her, or you, or your blood-sucking, gold-digging, manipulative cunt of a mother!" Harry spat as the greedy image of Molly Weasley consumed his mind.
"How dare you, after all we've done for you! Stupefy!" Ron yelled as the stunning spell rushed towards Harry's chest.
Luckily Bella caught it on her wand and deflected it harmlessly. Quick as a flash Bella flourished her wand and a snake twirled about Ron's legs to then viciously knock him over and steal his wand in its fanged mouth. The snake was as black as night and it completely encircled Ron's legs and thighs, he was totally immobilised. Utter amazement was the expression on Harry's face as Narcissa just let the corners of her mouth curl up in a devilish smirk; she loved watching her sister annihilate the ginger idiot. Bella started walking towards Ron, her heels made loud clicking sounds as she thoroughly enjoyed the anticipation of her plan to scare the shit out of him.
Taking his wand from the snake's mouth she then banished it leaving Ron very vulnerable. She bent down a little and did something very surprising; she lashed out her hand grabbing a hold of Ron's balls and squeezed, hard. The ginger winced in pain before her grip loosened a little. Bringing her face closer to his she spoke very quietly in a threatening manner she loved to use, "Listen here boy, if you ever raise your wand to my Harry again, do you know what will happen?" Ron shook his head as he continued to look scared out of his mind. Bella smiled wickedly knowing she had him by the balls, literally. "If you raise your wand to my Harry again, I will hunt you down like the dog you are and rip these little ginger nuts off," as she finished she gave his balls another painful squeeze. Another squeal of pain escaped his lips before she continued, "do I make myself clear?" He looked at her for a few seconds, wrong answer. She clenched her hand sharply around his precious balls and he screamed out in pain once more. One again she asked in a raised, very annoyed tone of voice "Do I, make myself, clear? Answer me you little brat!"
Practically in tears, Ron finally gave her the answer she'd been looking for, "Yes, okay yes. I won't raise my wand against Harry ever again. I won't even go near him, I promise!"
"Good, now run along before I change my mind about letting to keep these little things." She released him and as he scrambled to his feet she threw him his wand, he grabbed it from the floor and along with a petrified looking Ginny they booked it.
Returning to her Harry Bella took his arm and they proceeded to keep walking, while doing so Harry remarked about her engagement with Ron, "Remind me to never piss you off."
At this Bella smiled and returned in a loving tone, "Don't worry Harry, I'm more likely to suck your balls than squeeze them. Anyway assholes like him need a lesson in respect and fear; I decided I'd be the one to give him that lesson. Plus I like playing the 'big bad bitch' every now and again."
"Don't you just," he replied as their arms curled a little more around each other's waists.
Entering the Great Hall the trio instantly noted that it was packed with more or less all the year groups, teachers and supporting staff. Most were in the middle of farewells and loving goodbyes; a few had more insulting things to say but it was a mainly positive social gathering. At first not many people even noticed Harry, Bella and Cissy but as time went on and the greetings from them attracted some attention more and more started asking Harry the prime question, 'what's going on with you?'
The first to ask such a question was Dean, he had just got done with voicing a not to flattering opinion about the Malfoys when he noticed Harry and the Black sisters. Quickly walking over he addressed Harry with a little concern in his voice but paying no attention to Bella or Cissy. "Harry! We haven't seen you in days, what's been happening?"
"Well, my time has been taken up lately." Pushing softly at the backs of Bella and Cissy bringing them forward a little he continued, "Dean, allow me to introduce you to Bellatrix Black and Narcissa Black, my two new lovers."
Not realising the crowd that had now accumulated a chorus of whispers and a torrent of emotions burst forth from the audience of the encounter. Several of Harry's even close friends had shocked expressions except one, Hermione. Seeing the doubting looks on the faces of Harry and his lovers she flashed them a warm smile hoping to be if nothing else a drop of acceptance in a sea of judgement. Looking further across from Hermione, Harry saw several girls in their packs with one of two emotions on their face; it was either a warm satisfaction for their friend to find love or a disappointed upset expression of pure anguish to know they couldn't have him themselves.
Amongst the audience however, far at the back a girl with silky blonde hair, blue eyes and an icy strong will was becoming annoyed. Annoyed because as she listened to the onslaught of slurs and minor insults that hid in the chorus from those who'd gathered, she was reminded of a certain day at Hogwarts where Harry Potter, the man in question of this crowd had spared her from an awful experience.
Hogwarts, 1993.
"Oi, Queenie! Where do you think you're goin'?!" a malicious voice yelled.
"Far away from you!" she screamed as she ran back towards the castle.
As she ran she felt herself trip on what felt like a rock or something sharp at the very least. Her body was grounded a second later and it felt like she'd broken something. The boys chasing her caught up with her and pinned her to the ground.
"Let me go you fuck-heads!" she demanded but the three boys just laughed.
"Not before we've had our fun. You little Slytherin slut, by the end you'll be begging us to fuck you, won't she boys?!"
"Yeah!" rang from the other boy's throats.
Then though before anything else happened, from the trees a loud yell heralded two stunners knocking the boys who were holding her down flying off their feet to come crashing down against a tree. Rushing to her feet she tried running but was caught by the dark leader of this band. Grabbing her by the throat he positioned her in front of him with his wand at the ready, poised and waiting he sent out a taunt. "Whose there eh?! Well, if you think you're goin' to play hero, I'm afraid you're mistaken!"
Stepping out into the clearing both the leader and his captive saw that it was Harry Potter who'd come to thwart this assault. Coming closer Harry stopped when the leader quickly pointed his wand to the throat of his captive, Daphne Greengrass. She and Harry hadn't always gotten along but honestly put in a reverse situation she wasn't sure herself that she would've done what Harry was currently.
"Take one more step Potter, and she gets it!" the dark figure warned. Stopping and standing still with his wand by his side Harry obliged with his commands so far. With Daphne now hyperventilating Harry knew she couldn't keep her stress under control for much longer. He knew if he didn't act fast she might pass out from shock. Continuing to try and take command of the situation the dark figure told Harry forcefully, "Put down the wand, walk away and you won't get hurt!"
Harry saw through his lie in a millisecond so decided now was the time to act, bringing his wand up in a flash; he channelled all his magical energy into this spell, "Lumos Maxima!" The blinding light produced by the spell filled the forest and shone brighter than any star. The spell luckily had the desired outcome of stunning and disorientating the attacker long enough for Harry to grab Daphne by the arm and get her away before casting his offensive spell to knock out the assailant.
After the fact the assailant had been found out as a follower of Voldemort who'd remained loyal even after and during the downfall of his master. He'd decided to try and remind Hogwarts why they were never safe even if the Dark Lord was gone, but luckily he failed.
It was the first time Harry and Daphne had really expressed feelings for one another other than the passive dislike from being in different Houses at school. During her recovery Harry was always there for her and putting away silly pride and vanity she developed a strong friendship with him. But when Tracy Davis and a few other Slytherin girls shunned her she had to distance herself or face relentless bullying and ridicule by other members of her House.
It was quite disheartening to Harry at first but eventually he realised she just didn't want to be the Gryffindor lover that her 'friends' accused her of. So he found it within himself to accept that and just kept his distance aside from a few secret conversations here and there.
Back at the Great Hall Daphne was still becoming more agitated as the insults steadily became more direct, offensive and heated as time went on. So deciding to stick up for her friend and his lovers Daphne pushed her way through the crowd to stand in front of Harry, Bella and Cissy to give a speech to this increasingly nasty audience.
"Right, all of you listen here! I've had it up to here with your premature judgement on Harry and HIS lovers!" Once she'd finished this point at the top of her lungs most of the Great Hall attendance had their attention focused on Daphne. Giving the crowd icy cold stares she began her next point, "Harry here, the saviour of our world removed the Dark Lord, he did what not even the Ministry could achieve and he saved all of us! For me personally, he's saved me twice and for that even if I didn't like him I'd still and for all time respect him. He is noble, kind, compassionate, loving, caring and a more talented wizard then pretty much anyone in this entire school! And now he's decided to personally take care of and love Bellatrix and Narcissa Black. He's not asking you to do this! He's decided to do it himself, and all he asks in return is your acceptance. Now you all know as well as I know that both of these women have done some questionable things in their past," here she stopped briefly and turned to see the sorrowful faces of Bella and Cissy looking to the floor, turning back to the crowd she continued. "But! If Harry believes in his heart that he loves them and they love him back, if he is willing to give them a chance at redemption then I see no reason to deny them a second chance and to leave their and all our mistakes in the past where they belong. So let me be the first…" turning around Daphne walked towards Harry and the Black sisters. Extending her hand she shook the hand of all three before pulling Harry into a tight hug and saying to the three lovers, "I hope you'll be very happy together." Smiling and nodding to them one last time she stormed out of the Great Hall leaving a steady stream of people to begin congratulating the trio on their newfound love.
One of the first to offer such a gesture was Hermione; coming forwards she hugged Harry and Cissy, but when it came to Bella she was a little nervous. For a moment she hesitated before finally relented to a hug with Bella. I can't believe it, I'm actually hugging Bellatrix! Hermione thought to herself. Bringing her mouth down to Hermione's left ear Bella whispered to her, "I'm sorry Hermione, truly I am but if you can't forgive me for what I did will you at least grant me your blessing of my and Harry's love for each other."
Thinking for a little while Hermione came to her conclusion and broke the hug with Bella. Making strong eye contact with them Hermione revealed to the trio what she thought, "While the memory of what happened will always be with me, I can and will give you another chance Bella," looking to Harry for a brief moment she saw the affection radiate from his eyes. "I can see how happy you make him, and for that I'm grateful. So Bella, I forgive you…"
The weight of her words made Bella feel a little light-headed but she quickly regained her composure, "I…I don't know what to say, I… Thank you Hermione, thank you so much…" she trailed off as being accepted by her meant the world to Bella, it was a sign she was finally doing the right thing by anyone's definition. Giving Hermione a grateful, endearing smile Bella allowed Hermione some more space.
Returning the smile Hermione finished off her acceptance speech by directing her last point to Harry, "I hope you find in these women the love you have always sought and thoroughly deserve Harry." With tears of joy and relief streaming down her face Harry and Hermione shared one last hug before she withdrew from the Great Hall, smiling to them as she left.
Hours past as several other students and even some teachers showed their support of Harry's choice even if it was strange to them, they trusted Harry and his judgement and if he decided they were worthy of redemption who were they to question it. The most surprising of those who showed their acceptance was the head of Gryffindor House, Harry's favourite teacher and a long time personal friend of his, Minerva McGonagall.
Stepping up to greet them her old face beamed a stare of happiness upon Harry but narrowing her eyes she gave a stern, fierce look to the Black sisters. A look that when interpreted read something like, 'hurt him and you'll have me to answer to'. Instantly both sisters made a mental note to avoid at all costs getting on the bad side of their former teacher, not that it was likely to happen given how much both sisters adored Harry but just that look instilled fear sharp enough to make that reaction reasonable.
Shaking the hands of the trio McGonagall began her small speech and goodbye to her favourite pupil over the years, "I hope you'll be very happy Harry, and if these two ever give you any trouble you know just where to find me. Just to think back all those years to that shy little boy in first year, now look at you. All grown up, with a gift for magic to rival practically anyone, I'm so proud Harry. I hope you know that, and no matter what trials you face, I always will be. Goodbye Harry, may you find the peace and love you deserve." Finishing her speech, not even she could hold back the tear forming in the corners of her eyes over what was happening, retiring herself back to the top of the hall she smiled to herself content to see her 'lion' go off into the world.
After the various greetings, speeches and many farewells were said to one another all the students and teachers gathered in the Great Hall for a final speech given by the Headmaster. Harry was there with his lovers sitting either side in fine black robes while Harry just wore his uniform. Dumbledore stepped up to his podium and began the send-off speech to the sixth years.
"Now that I have you all settled I'd like to say a few words. Your time at Hogwarts has been more challenging than most; your education has been through a war, one of the worst and most devastating in all of our history, which still rages even as I speak. But, in times like these I'm reminded of a wonderful saying that has proven more relevant now than at any other time. 'The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire.' That stayed with me this entire time and it continues to do so. And it has proven an accurate testament to the endurance and strength of our school throughout this war. I hope it will continue to stay that way. Thank you to you all, some of us have had to make sacrifices, some have lost and the damage to some goes deep. However, I urge you to stay strong because while that loss and damage hurts, it will make you a better person for it. As I said, suffering through this means it will build a stronger character out of you thereby helping you to become a better person, thank you."
With a loud applause Dumbledore sat down and the golden doors to the Great Hall opened signalling the end of Harry's final day at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As everyone exited the Great Hall in relative silence the sixth years returned to their dorms for the final time, in an hour's time the students would be expected at the train station and there would be several more goodbyes to be shared. Explaining quickly to Bella and Cissy what the plan was, he basically narrowed it down to "I'll come get you in the Room of Requirement in ten minutes." Hastily they said a brief goodbye before Harry rushed to his dorm.
Entering the room he'd called home so many years now felt surreal as he prepared to leave it, looking around for a moment he admired his surroundings. The gold and red curtains, the bedding that he'd made up oh so many times and just the general atmosphere of the dorm. Packing everything at a leisurely pace it didn't take long for him to finish and mentally say goodbye to his life at Hogwarts. A solitary tear was shed as he walked down the corridor towards the Room of Requirement; the tear was not only for him leaving but what, or better yet who he was leaving with. For the first time in his life Harry was experiencing true freedom. He had two beautiful lovers, Potter Manor as his home and from here on out the world was his oyster in every possible sense. Truly nothing could compare with the feelings he was experiencing as he walked to re-join his newfound loves.
Inside the sisters were also in a state of euphoria not only because they'd been accepted by Harry's peers but because everything had worked out well, in fact, better than well. They had a loving man who would take care of them, a new stance in the wizarding society and the safety and security they had been missing from their previous lives.
Bella was as giddy as she'd ever been, "Can you believe it? We've been accepted, I can't even… I don't… This is… just wonderful!" Bella then threw herself onto the sofa and rejoiced in her own happiness, never in all her life had she felt so happy.
Narcissa was also in high spirits, "I know, I can't believe it either. What are the odds of a second chance? Bella, I think this is our chance at a new life, a better life… So… What do you think Potter Manor will be like?" Narcissa always loved chatting about houses, she relished in the conversation of a living space. The personal aspect, the general aesthetic and as someone who loved big houses the thought of Potter Manor intrigued her.
"Oh I don't know Cissy, as long as I'm with Harry I don't care. As far as I care he could have a cardboard box for a house and I'd still kiss him all over," finishing her thought Bella winked to her sister.
"Are you serious? A cardboard box?" Narcissa asked in amused shock.
Playing along Bella answered, "Sure it may be a little compact but I'd find a way to snuggle in with him. Plus really low maintenance costs."
"Yeah, as in when the 'roof' of it fell through you just buy another box, hah, hah, hah," Narcissa replied in good humour with a large smirk as company to her tone.
"Oh whatever, I'm sure given a man of Harry's taste it's a perfectly lovely, inviting home with lots of rooms, fancy furniture and liberal amounts of space." Narcissa looked at Bella a little funny as if she said something silly, "Okay, so it's not the gothic style, grim, dark and unwelcoming place like Malfoy Manor that you want but honestly after all the shitty, dark and nasty places Volde took me to it would be a nice change."
Narcissa huffed a little at Bella's words but in all honesty she felt the same way, after all the bad experiences she'd been forced to go through in places like that she too wanted a refreshing change. And given the kind of caring man Harry was Bella's description probably wasn't far off and at the very least if she wasn't impressed Narcissa knew she could certainly learn to like it.
A couple of minutes passed before the sisters heard the door open, raising to meet the new occupant their faces light up with joy seeing their lover with his luggage and a slightly exasperated look on his face. "Hey ladies, I could use a hand," smiling the sisters went to his aid and engaged in a two pronged kiss on his cheeks making an already emotional Harry blush quite a bit. With Bella taking a bag and Cissy taking his other bag Harry pulled his case and the three headed off out of the castle down towards the train station.
On the train after the luggage had been stored Harry, Bella and Cissy found an empty compartment near the back of the train. Deciding they'd sit there all three of them found themselves exhausted from the day's activities; Narcissa decided to lie down on the green seat to the left of the compartment while Harry sat down opposite to Cissy on the right with Bella lying down across his lap with her feet up on the seat. Harry sat admiring Bella for a while before both sisters gave him a small present. Lifting herself up both Bella and Cissy kissed Harry passionately on the lips before sitting back down to which Harry asked, "What was that for?"
A smile evident on both sisters' faces Bella nodded to Cissy from Harry's lap and Narcissa began her sentiment, "For everything Harry, for everything… You've helped us in so many ways and while there were some bumps along the way," at which point Bella giggled like a schoolgirl signalling the obvious innuendo before Cissy began again. "You gave us another chance at life; there is no amount of love we can ever give you that can repay that so for what it's worth, thank you. We do and always will very much appreciate what you've done for us." As she finished a small tear rushed down her now blushing face and the corners of her deep pink lips perked up in a loving smile directed at no one else but Harry.
"Well, you see Cissy, that's where you're wrong…" he replied, at first neither of the sisters understood why he'd said that but as he continued it became clear, "The love, relief, joy, care and utter contentment you bring about in me is worth anything and everything I can possibly give you. You see Bella, Cissy, what you do for me isn't even comparable to what I do for you. All of my childhood I was told I was a freak then when I got to your world I was revered as a superstar for something I didn't even consciously do, but you two give me a genuine feeling of worth, and meaning as much to you as you mean to me is worth all the riches, power and influence in the world. For without that, what's the point in even going on with life if you've never felt love, kindness or compassion? So for giving me that, I say to the both of you, thank you, but more importantly… I love you Bellatrix and Narcissa, I love you both so much…"
The impact of those words left the Black sisters speechless, it was just so hard hitting that it took a very specific action for them to realise just how serious he was about what he'd said. Sitting Bella up Harry brought his mouth to hers and with searing passion he told Bella exactly what she meant to him, and as the seconds rolled on both of them lost themselves in the kiss and literal heat of the moment. As a result Bella found herself momentarily delirious and crazed with the emotional responses Harry was setting off. Then when the kiss finally broke both of them knew exactly how they felt, in love, no other phrase could describe it. Searing, powerful almost unbearable but yet addicting love.
Next Harry conveyed his feelings for Cissy, he went over and from a position of dominance his mouth met hers and with even more fervour she was caught a little off guard as she melted into the intense feeling of the kiss even more so than Bella, she was then lost in a purely physical realm of lust and desire. No moment had been yet this sensual in all of her life, she felt lost as mere concepts like time and space fell apart from her as all she felt was pure emotions being exchanged. Finally as Harry's and Cissy's lips separated all three parties now knew exactly how they felt and as the train set off the triumph and confidence in each other they now had welled in them like a brand new emotion all their own.
Laying back down Narcissa rubbed her now tired eyes and settled herself for the train ride ahead. Then Harry sat back down with Bella on his lap, stroking her crazy black locks of hair as she along with her sister fell into a deep sleep. Harry meanwhile kept an eye open watching through the window as Hogwarts disappeared into the country until he too fell into a timeless sleep. He was leaving his old life behind in favour of a better one just on the horizon.
Author's Note: Hi everyone, I'm back! So hopefully for you that means more updates, but just be aware that they will be slow as IRL stuff tends to get in the way. Now I know that this was a bit of a fluffy feel-good kind of chapter but screw it I'm back to writing so I wanted to write something happy. The more adult darker stuff will come soon, just not right now. Hopefully you enjoyed it but for now goodbye, see ya next time.
