"A weak man has doubts before a decision. A strong man has them afterwards."
Harry Potter and the Vulkens Chapter 3 Parselmouth
August 26th, 1992, knockturn alley
William Vulken made his way through the wizards blocking his way with a hiss. He hated dealing with them outside of Gringotts where, at least, he had advantage. After several warnings to Borgin and Burke's store owners, he had to go there to collect their annual taxes and it had dragged for far too long. The doorbell chimed as he passed through the door and saw Malfoy senior with his son already in the store.
He went directly to the counter as Lucius closed the box where he had tried to sell some things. William did not care, nor would he ever care about anything else than money. He could hear another heartbeat coming from an iron maiden cabinet, which intrigued him but completely ignored mentioning it.
''Borgin, are you getting too old? Goblin Bogrod is no longer tolerating such lengths to your debts.'' Said William, leaning slightly over the counter.
''Uh… well…'' Began Borgin, eyeing Lucius with almost a pleading look.
William's eyes became black, making the young Malfoy gasp behind his father.
''No longer, Borgin.'' Repeated William.
''If I may, what happens if he does not make payment?'' Asked Lucius.
William turned his gaze towards Malfoy senior, his eyes going back to their icy blue.
''We are going to take things from his store to the same value of his debt and sell it to others.'' Said William with a grin.
Lucius did not seem comfortable with the idea, and he clenched his jaw.
''Perhaps I could alleviate his debt?'' Asked Lucius.
William hummed and took a step closer to Lucius.
''Ceri- cin anír- na… mmm, Aran's garn.'' Said William before licking his lips.
Lucius remembered what Aran's garn meant and lifted his chin.
''I meant galleons.'' Sneered Lucius.
''What did he say, father?'' Asked Draco.
William's eyes went to Draco.
''Eight hundred and thirty-six galleons, nine sickles, one knut. You know where to find me, Mr. Malfoy.'' Said William before moving his eyes back to Lucius. ''Nice boy you have there.'' He added from nodding to Borgin and leaving the store.
Borgin cleared his throat.
''Mr. Malfoy…'' Began Borgin.
Lucius hissed and hit his cane on the counter, making both Borgin and Draco flinch.
''I'll get my things back when the ministry stops their raids, and more if I need it, are we clear?'' Asked Lucius coldly.
Borgin bowed after taking the box but also leaving the galleons for Lucius to take.
''Evidently, Mr. Malfoy, always a pleasure doing business with you.'' Said Borgin.
''Come Draco.'' Said Lucius as he turned towards the exit.
When the Malfoys left, a certain boy came out of the iron maiden cabinet and hurried out of the store. He almost got cornered by nasty wizards when he was saved by Hagrid, who brought him back to diagon alley where they encountered Hermione. She repaired Harry's glasses, which had broken during his floo travel, then Hagrid bid them good-bye knowing he was safe now. They joined back the Weasleys who had gone to the bookstore Flourish and Blotts.
Ruma was on the second floor of the bookstore with Regulus who was chatting with Draco. She was reading a book titled Voyages with vampires, and she could not believe it had been accepted to be a book for defense against the dark arts, when they had revised the Vampire book not too long ago. It spoke of a journey Gilderoy Lockhart had taken along with a vampire and, at the end, the vampire could only eat lettuce. The thing is, not a single name was ever mentioned of the vampire in the book, and Ruma knew almost every vampire on the planet, if you counted the ones that she had grew up with to the ones Seth had found in other countries. She also knew vampires would get very sick should they ingest anything else than blood or drinks.
''Naneth, grand-father said he needed to ask you about a rune later, he is buying some potion ingredients at the other store.'' Said Regulus.
Regulus had been calling her mother in Venthyr ever since he was born, except when they were at Hogwarts. She lifted her eyes from the book and nodded.
''No problem, Reg. I just needed to see what kind of professor you would have this year in DADA, since Dumbledore never told us until yesterday, and it seems we have yet another complete charlatan to work with.'' Said Ruma, visibly annoyed.
''Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart.'' Said a man below.
Gasps and claps went on in the store as a man appeared between the bookshelves below. They took pictures and after talking about himself for a while, Gilderoy noticed Harry Potter was there. Draco nudged Regulus's elbow then began to go down the stairs where a book caught his attention. Regulus followed him and Ruma placed back the book in the tall library it was in. Gilderoy bragged about his books, which he gave to Harry, then more claps and cheers were heard.
''Come on, Draco, he's coming.'' Said Regulus as Harry Potter was almost out of the store.
Draco ripped out a page from the book he had been curious then went down the stairs rapidly and stopped in front of Harry.
''I'll bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter. Can't go into a bookshop without making the front page.'' Sneered Draco.
Regulus went beside him and chuckled. Ruma rolled her eyes before her attention got taken by the book where Draco had ripped a page out of. She closed it to see the title : Dark Artifacts of the soul.
''Leave him alone.'' Said Ginny coldly.
''Look, Potter. You've got yourself a girlfriend.'' Added Draco mockingly.
''Seriously, Draco. Was the temptation too great or are you just jealous?'' Asked Ruma as she arrived down the stairs.
''No way.'' Said Draco.
The Weasleys and the others all looked at her. When they all realized it was their teacher, they greeted her warmly.
''Now, now, Draco, play nicely.'' Said Lucius as he arrived in the store, placing his cane on his son's shoulder. ''Regulus, Callum is waiting for you outside.''
Regulus grunted, then nudged Draco's arm before leaving.
''Lucius, hello.'' Said Ruma.
Lucius made a curt nod, then brought back his attention to Harry, moving a hand forward.
''Mr. Potter.'' Said Lucius as Harry took his hand. ''Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. Forgive me.'' Lucius pulled him closer and used his cane to push away the hair that hid Harry's scar on his forehead. ''Your scar is legend. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you.'' Said Lucius with a grin.
''Voldemort killed my parents.'' Said Harry coldly and Lucius lost his smile. ''He was nothing more than a murderer.'' Added Harry.
''You have no idea, Harry.'' Muttered Ruma with a sad tone.
Lucius raised an eyebrow at Ruma's remark.
''You must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish.'' Said Lucius with a grin.
''Brave? And where does that place you, Lucius? Can't say anything else than Dark Lord?'' Asked Ruma as she walked right in front of Lucius.
''He deserve re…'' Began Lucius but Ruma placed a finger on his lips.
''No. Seth does. Not him.'' Said Ruma with a stern look.
Behind Lucius, Ruma saw Regulus gesturing to her. She remembered Callum needed her counsel. She turned to her students and bid them good-bye before leaving the store. Lucius regained his composure.
''Who's Seth?'' Asked Ronald with a confused face.
''The vampire King.'' Said Hermione. ''I finished the vampire book this summer. Did you know he tried to stop You-Know-Who from killing you, Harry?'' She added.
Harry thought he remembered long white hair, and a purple color, somewhere. The twins and Percy nodded at what Hermione said.
''Yeah, that bloke is under care on his island, still gravely injured.'' Said Fred.
''No one can access their island. The book even says muggles lives there, feeding those vampires.'' Said George.
''Creepy, if you ask me.'' Said Fred.
''Muggles? Didn't professor Vulken told us she was born on that island?'' Asked Hermione.
''You must be… miss Granger.'' Said Lucius, glancing at his son who nodded.
Hermione and the others suddenly remembered who was in front of them. The air went cold again.
''Yes, Draco has told me all about you. And your parents.'' Said Lucius. Hermione and Lucius looked at her parents briefly. ''Muggles, aren't they? And the others with… red hair, vacant expressions. Tatty, second-hand book.'' Added Lucius as he grabbed the book in Ginny's cauldron. ''You must be the Weasleys.''
''Children, it's mad in here. Let's go outside.'' Said Arthur Weasley as he walked to his daughter.
''Well, well, well. Weasley senior.'' Sneered Lucius with a hint of ice.
''Lucius.'' Said Arthur just as coldly.
''Busy time at the ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids? I do hope they are paying you overtime… but judging by the state of this, I'd say not.'' Said Lucius as he showed the used book he had taken from Ginny. ''What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard, if they don't even pay you well for it?''
''We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy.'' Said Arthur.
''Clearly.'' Said Lucius, then shook his head. ''Associating with muggles.'' Lucius placed by the book in Ginny's cauldron, along with Voldemort's diary. He hoped it would finally bring the end to the mudbloods at Hogwarts and what more pleasant if the Weasley blood traitors could suffer at the same time. ''And I thought your family could sink no lower.'' Sneered Lucius again. ''I'll see you at work.'' He added last before turning elegantly and leaving.
''See you at school.'' Sneered Draco before following his father.
OoOoO
Hogwarts, October 31st , 1992
How Harry and Ronald could have even thought about taking a flying car to go to school was beyond her. Since Ronald had broken his wand, she had asked the Weasley Matriarch if she could buy one for him, but she had refused, saying it was his fault and that he deserved that lesson. Nobody needed a wand in her class, but it still bugged her that a student did not have his proper wand. She thought about her own which contained a strand of hair of Seth and how it answered to her every need and worked perfectly for her.
Since she had been kidnapped, she had respected her vow to know wandless magic and over the years she had been able channel a stupefy through her hands if she touched that person. She could also levitate objects and do some runewords if needed be without her wand. She noticed her student, Hermione Granger, reminded her of herself. Always knowing everything, the best in her year, and she was muggleborn. Hermione lacked the subtle cleverness Slytherins were renowned for, and was also loud and a bit tactless, but her heart was brave, just like Gryffindors.
She excused herself from the Halloween feast and went for a walk when she stopped dead in her tracks. She was hearing something speaking Parseltongue coming from the walls.
''Blood. I smell blood. Let me rip you. Let me kill you. Kill! Kill! Kill!'' Hissed the voice.
Her wand slid in her hand, and she continued to walk slowly towards the sound. When she turned a corner, she noticed water on the floor.
''It's time.'' Hissed the voice again.
Her heart skipped a beat. She walked again slowly and saw spiders fleeing the castle by an opened window.
''Scared spiders? Parseltongue?'' Mumbled Ruma.
She turned another corner and saw a message written in blood on the wall along with Mrs. Norris hung by her tail, petrified. A second after, Harry arrived at the scene with his two friends behind him. They had been running and were out of breath.
''Professor… oh no.'' Began Hermione as she saw the cat, then the message on the wall. ''The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware? It's written in blood.'' She added.
Ruma was lost in her thoughts when students in large numbers were coming their way. The feast must have ended.
Crap.
They all stopped, curiosity ensured, looking at the disturbing scene in front of them.
''The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware.'' Said Malfoy before looking at the trio. ''You'll be next, mudbloods.'' He added.
Ruma's hairs stood at the word.
''Detention, Mr. Malfoy.'' Said Ruma.
Draco whined as the teachers were now also coming from the commotion. Argus thought his cat was dead and began to threatened Harry when Dumbledore also came into view and intervened, seeing the message on the wall.
''Everyone will proceed to their dormitories immediately.'' Said Dumbledore and students began to walk away. ''Everyone except… you three.'' Added the Headmaster pointing at Harry, Hermione, and Ronald.
When only the teachers and the trio was left, Argus was almost crying beside his cat.
''She's not dead Argus, she's petrified.'' Said Ruma.
He did not seem any reassured, but he nodded.
''Ah, thought so. So unlucky I wasn't there.'' Said Lockhart. ''I know exactly the countercurse that could've spared her.''
The teachers all looked at him in disbelief, knowing perfectly he had just lied through his teeth. They ignored him.
''But how she has been petrified, I cannot say.'' Said Dumbledore.
''Ask him!'' Said Argus gesturing at Harry. ''Ask him. It's him that's done it. You saw what he wrote on the wall.''
''It's not true, sir. I swear. I never touched Mrs. Norris.'' Said Harry.
''No need to defend yourself, Harry.'' Said Ruma as she looked at the Headmaster. ''I was there before them.''
''Then, explain yourself! Why did you do that to my cat!?'' Said Argus, quickly changing the blame.
Ruma raised an eyebrow.
''Hn. Sure thing, Argus. Take the time to breath and think about what you just said, would you?'' Said Ruma before looking at Harry. ''I may have been there before you because I was taking a walk, where Severus knows I left the feast before everyone. I'm also curious as to why you three were there shortly after me. I don't recall seeing you at the feast, Harry.'' She added.
''I'm afraid that's my doing, Ruma. You see, Harry was helping me answer my fan mail.'' Said Lockhart.
''That's why Ron and I went looking for him, professor. We'd just found him when he said…'' Said Hermione, nervously looking at her friend.
''Yes, Miss Granger?'' Asked Snape.
''That I was not hungry.'' Replied Harry.
Bullshit. He had heard the basilisk too; Ruma was almost sure of it.
''We were heading back to the common room when we found Mrs. Norris.'' Added Harry.
Severus made a face clearly indicating he did not believe him either.
''MY cat has been petrified!'' Said Argus. ''I want to see some punishment!''
''We will be able to cure her, Argus.'' Reassured Dumbledore. ''As I understand it, Madam Sprout has a very healthy growth of Mandrake.'' He added and madam Sprout took a step closer and nodded. ''When matured, a potion will be made which will revive Mrs. Norris. And in the meantime, I strongly recommend caution… to all.
OoOoO
November 4th, 1992
While everyone had been trying to get their hands on Hogwarts History book, Ruma had instead searched for magical creatures where it mentioned the Basilisk. Everything fit what had happened, but her eyes rested on the fact that Basilisks could be killed by the rooster's chant. She also knew that the heir of Slytherin was no one else than Voldemort, and she wondered how he could have acted in the school again. Another thing was that she was assaulted with questions, being the History of Magic teacher. Dumbledore had instructed to her to strictly not reveal things that could scare the students, and so she had repeated the same thing to all: there was a rumour that there was a chamber of secrets made by Salazar Slytherin a thousand years ago, and that the chamber housed a monster.
Then, in a quidditch match in where she had not assisted, she was informed a bludger had chased Harry endlessly, breaking his arm, but Lockhart had intervein and removed his bones from it, thus bringing Harry to the hospital wing again. Someone had tried to kill Harry… again, but this time, she hardly believed Lockhart would be skilled enough for something like that.
She was now in Dumbledore's office, discussing theories about what was happening.
''You said it happened again… when was that?'' Asked Ruma.
''Fifty years ago, at the time of Tom Riddle. The ministry blamed Hagrid.'' Said Dumbledore.
''Fifty… was Seth present at that time?'' Asked Ruma.
''No… you know Seth left school after his fourth year, but those events happened in Tom's sixth year.'' Said Albus.
''Did anything happen? Or just petrified students?'' Asked Ruma.
''A muggleborn girl died. Myrtle Warren… now known as Moaning Myrtle. You do know her.'' Said Albus.
Ruma blinked. She had gone only once in the bathrooms Myrtle haunted and never thought about ever going there again because of her.
''Did… did she die there? In those bathrooms?'' Asked Ruma.
''She did. I had not really searched the bathroom since then… perhaps we should investigate.'' Said Dumbledore.
''And by we, you mean, me?'' Asked Ruma, which only resulted as getting a smile from the Headmaster. ''I think I know what…''
A knock was heard on the door, interrupting Ruma, where Dumbledore told the person to enter. It was McGonagall and she looked nervous.
''What's wrong, Minerva?'' Asked Dumbledore.
Minerva looked at Ruma and could not hide her relief.
''Well… there's been another attack, Albus. I'm… relieved Ruma is with you.'' Said Minerva.
''You thought I petrified Mrs. Norris? Really?'' Asked Ruma, lightly hurt.
''Well… old habits die hard. You were… quite the trouble before.'' Said Minerva.
Ruma rolled her eyes and looked at Albus who had stood up.
''We should get the student to the infirmary, then.'' Said Albus.
Arriving at the infirmary with the petrified student, they took the camera from his hands and as Albus opened it, a black cloud of smoke went out from it.
''What can this mean, Albus?'' Asked Minerva.
''It means… that our students are in great danger.'' Said Dumbledore.
''What should I tell the staff?'' Asked Minerva.
''The truth. Tell them Hogwarts is no longer safe. It is as we feared, Minerva. The chambers of secrets has indeed been opened again.'' Said Albus.
OoOoO
''Gather round!'' Said Lockhart loudly as he walked up stairs leading to a platform meant for dueling.
Ruma joined the students, placing herself beside Regulus and his friends. A dueling club was already happening every Thursday night with Flitwick, but only for the sixth- and seventh-year students. She had participated in some of them since she used to teach Magical Defense.
''Gather round. Can everybody see me?'' Added Lockhart. ''Can you all hear me? Excellent. In the light of the dark events of the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this Dueling Club to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I, myself, have done on countless occasions. For full details, see my published works.'' Said Lockhart with a smile.
''When you reach your sixth year, you can ask Professor Flitwick to join the already Dueling Club happening every Thursday night, just saying.'' Said Ruma.
''Oh, yes, of course, like uh… professor Vulken said.'' Said Lockhart as he threw his heavy cloak at giggling girls.
''Let me introduce my assistant… Professor Snape!'' Said Lockhart and Severus also went up the platform with his arms crossed. ''He has sportingly agreed to help with a short demonstration. I don't want any of you youngsters to worry. You'll still have your Potions master when I'm through with him. Never fear.''
He pulled out his wand and they went to face each other and bowed before turning around, counting ten steps then turning again. When Lockhart counted to three, Severus spelled the disarming charm at Lockhart who received it full blast, falling back, and lost his wand. He stood back up painfully, trying to shake off the humiliation.
''An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind me saying, it was obvious what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy…'' Said Lockhart as he took back his wand from Severus's hand.
''Yes, like tell the students to cast the shield charm with Protego, Lockhart.'' Said Ruma under her breath where Regulus snickered.
''Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor.'' Said Snape, reflecting Ruma's thoughts.
''An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape. Let's have a volunteer pair. Potter, Weasley, how about you?'' Said Lockhart, pointing towards the two boys.
''Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Might I suggest someone from my own house? Malfoy, perhaps?'' Said Snape.
Draco went up the stage and faced Harry. Ruma sighed as they had not been showed anything to protect against spells when Draco didn't wait to cast a curse at Harry, who replicated with another. When Draco stood up again, he charmed a snake out of his wand. Lockhart attacked it which caused the snake to go up in the air and falling back, which made it angry and turned towards a scared student. Snape was about to intervein when she heard Potter speak Parseltongue.
''Leave him alone! Go away!'' Hissed Harry.
A dead silence went in the room, and Ruma had her theory confirmed, right there. Really, the boy would not stop to amaze her. He could speak Parseltongue and was not even from Slytherin's line. But that also brought many questions to her mind. The snake did not listen at first and seemed mad. Harry stepped towards it and spoke again.
''I said : do not do anything! Stand down!'' Hissed Harry.
Snape pointed his wand at the snake as it stopped moving, looking at Harry with a tilted head.
''Vipera evanesca.'' Spelled Snape and the snake vanished in a smoke cloud.
Severus glanced at Ruma who shrugged in answer.
''What are you playing at, Potter?'' Said Justin, the student who had been petrified by fear and now was shaking as he looked at Harry.
Ronald and Hermione grabbed Harry's sleeve and pulled him away from the stage and they left the room, leaving the other students to whisper about what had just happened.
''What does that mean, Professor?'' Asked Regulus quietly to Ruma.
''Nothing else than being born with a nice handy skill. But… now everyone is going to think ill of him.'' Said Ruma.
''Pft, I already think ill of him.'' Said Regulus. ''He had to have another thing, saint Potter.'' Added Regulus with a hint of jealousy.
''Because you did not understand what he said? Or because of another reason, hmm?'' Asked Ruma.
She now understood why Harry had gone to Mrs. Norris too. He had heard the basilisk speak in the pipes, just like her. With his curiosity and his friends, she was sure they were going to investigate about the chamber. It also meant that they were going to be in danger. She sighed in frustration.
The students were shaken by the events, and so the temporary dueling club was dismissed by Lockhart and Snape. Severus went to Ruma after the students had cleared the room.
''You understood that, right?'' Asked Severus.
''Of course, I did. We have to go see Dumbledore, now.'' Said Ruma.
Severus nodded and followed Ruma to Dumbledore's office. They went up the stairs and entered.
''Severus, Ruma, what is it?'' Asked Dumbledore.
''Potter is a Parselmouth.'' Said Severus.
Albus frowned and thought for a moment.
''Do you think it's from Voldemort's curse? After committing two murders and fractioning his soul so bad…'' Said Ruma quietly.
Dumbledore looked at her weirdly and stood up.
''What exactly do you know, Ruma?'' Asked the Headmaster.
Ruma hesitated for a moment, but it was Severus who answered before her.
''The information we seek has been destroyed by the Dark Lord, that, we do know. Over my time with… Lucius's company, he told me the Dark Lord had given him what seemed to be a dark artifact looking like a diary. He said it was to rid the school of muggleborns.'' Said Severus.
Ruma's eyes went wide in horror.
''What if it was in the hands of a student? What if he used it to open the chamber of secrets and now unleashed what was in it, which I am sure now is a basilisk, since I understood, along with Harry, what it said.'' Said Ruma.
''A basilisk? This is terrible. Have you talked with Myrtle?'' Asked Dumbledore.
Severus looked at Ruma in confusion, not aware of what Dumbledore had asked her.
''No, I did not even have time for myself just yet. The basilisk… a direct eye contact with it will kill anyone. We were lucky it did not happen yet… the cat… there was water on the floor and Collin saw it through his camera. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but he is muggleborn.'' Said Ruma.
''Perhaps… we can also assume it moves when there is not many people around, since no one else have seen such a monstrous creature move, which also brings the question as to how it does circulate in the school.'' Said Severus.
''Well, if there really is a chamber of secrets, we could assume it is underground and in a system of plumbing.'' Said Ruma. ''The Vulken castle has had a complete change of plumbing ever since the Flamels came to the Vulkens, but I do not believe it would have needed a two-meters wide piping, unless Salazar Slytherin did all that himself, thus creating the Basilisk problem along with it.''
''I believe the castle is big enough for that, indeed.'' Said Dumbledore.
''What about Potter?'' Said Severus.
''I may have a theory as to why he possesses that skill… I have to do some research.'' Muttered Dumbledore.
''You should contact Corban Yaxley if an owl can reach him. Last time he sent me a letter, he said Voldemort keeps evading him and he thinks it has something to do with the encounter he had with me.'' Said Ruma.
Severus gritted his teeth and Ruma looked at him with an apologizing face. She knew Severus was very far from the idea of Voldemort's resurrection.
''What about the students?'' Asked Severus. ''They are all going to think he is the heir or… something.''
''He'll be fine. I remember plenty when everyone thought I was a vampire in my first year and also when I got cursed. Time will pass, even if he has to suffer a little for now. He's got friends… good friends I hope.'' Said Ruma, looking down at her feet.
''Be cautious. All of you. Let's hope it does not kill another student this time.'' Said Dumbledore, dismissing them.
They both nodded and left his office. When they walked in the corridor, Severus suddenly stopped and Ruma did too, eyeing him curiously.
''What if he targets you? I can't let you be alone…'' Said Severus.
Ruma made a smile.
''I can hear the Basilisk. I have a major advantage over anyone since I know where it will be if it strikes again. I'll know to close my eyes and do the necessary charms for presence detection. Besides, I can also just fly away.'' Said Ruma.
Sex scene/End of Chapter, so skippable.
Severus took a quick step towards her and pushed her without warning against the wall. She gasped at the cold stone touching her skin and was about to protest when Severus placed his lips on hers. He grabbed her wrists and brought them over her head, pinning them against the wall as he pushed his body on her.
A flaring heat began in her core, warming her quickly from the cold she had felt earlier. Those lips she knew by heart kissed her repetitively, tugged, and nipped her, turning her on like every time they were together. Severus's tongue soon demanded entry to perfect the kiss they were having, in the middle of the corridor where they knew most students were already asleep and would definitely not come by this particular corridor they were in. The thought of being seen was kind of exciting, as if they were doing something forbidden.
When they stopped to take a breather, their hearts were hammering in their chests.
''Say something to me in Parseltongue.'' Demanded Severus, his eyes filled with lust.
It was the first time he had asked that and Ruma was not surprised that he did. The language itself was the rarest on earth and imbued with magic.
''Take me.'' Hissed Ruma.
''Yesss.'' Moaned Severus before kissing her again.
He let go of her wrists to undo his belt and slightly bring down his pants, then his briefs to release the pressure on his member. Ruma was wearing a black and silver dress, opened on the side from her mid-thighs to the floor, and so Severus moved a hand by that opening and brought down her underwear to her knees.
With a skillful hand, he grabbed his hard member and sought her already wet entrance. Ruma had lifted a leg, placing it around Severus for better positioning. He entered her before seeking her lips again and moving his hands back into hers, intertwining his fingers with hers on the wall on both side of her head.
When he let go of her mouth, she moaned softly, and her breaths were shallow and fast as he thrusted into her repetitively against the wall. Severus groaned, feeling his own pleasure building up quicker than ever. He kissed her jaw, then her neck as he applied more pressure of his torso on hers. Her lavender smell filled his senses, and he began to suck on her skin, in that sweet spot right above her collarbone. He felt her shiver, then clench her muscles everywhere as she spoke profanities in his ear. He came soon after she did, letting out a small grunt as the feeling washed over his body and his movements slowed down.
''I love you, Ruma.'' Whispered Severus.
''And so do I, Sev.'' She replied quietly.
