A/N: Just wanted to put in a little warning first. This story is rated 'M' and it is Sirius Black :) Plus, as a romance writer, I struggle to keep it 'T' rated. Enjoy! This chapter comes in two parts.

Chapter 11: Next stages pt.1

Later that night, Sirius Black got the surprise of his life. His girlfriend came back to his dormitory after their long chat. He thought his girl would go straight to sleep in her dormitory. It was after midnight and they both had a really long day.

"Is that you, Dev?" Sirius whispered low because he didn't want to wake up Remus, snoring away across the room.

Devery just yawned widely in response and Sirius noticed how adorably cute she looked half-asleep in her pyjamas. His girl wore pink flannel pyjamas decorated with little cat faces, fuzzy blue slippers and a fuzzy blue bathrobe. Her long black hair was tied into a loose braid.

That was when Sirius remembered; he wasn't exactly dressed to receive visitors. Sirius sat up in bed and pulled the blankets up to his chin. After Devery left, he stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed.

"Is something wrong?" He whispered again but this time with a worried expression. Devery gave him a tired smile and quickly kicked her slippers off and disrobed.

Sirius whispered her name again with widening eyes but Devery simply pecked his forehead and crawled into his bed and it was like she turned into adorable tired monkey. She wrapped her long legs with his and hugged his middle.

Sirius quickly grabbed his wand and closed the curtains around his bed. He stroked her back and muttered a few charms. He created little orbs of light to see Devery's face clearly and he muttered a silencing charm so they wouldn't wake up the others. Devery just snuggled into his body warmth further and closed her eyes, looking quite relaxed.

"What's happened, love?" Sirius sounded a lot more urgent this time. He was ready to spring into action. Devery forced her tired eyes open.

"Nothing, go to sleep," She quickly signed and Sirius finally laid back, letting out a breath in relief.

"Merlin, Dev, you nearly gave me a heart attack," Sirius breathed and Devery gave him an odd look.

"I thought you wanted me to spend the night with you? You said, you didn't want me to leave your bed, before?" She signed and Sirius looked sheepish.

"Yes… but that was more like wishful thinking not that I don't want to sleep with you, love. I would love that very much but at the same time, I don't want to pressure you into anything," Sirius explained. "Plus, I'm pretty sure, Remus will threaten to break my balls if he finds out you spend the night here so early in our relationship."

"I don't care what the others will think, I want to sleep here and you are not pressuring me to do anything, I don't want to do," Devery signed and Sirius's grey eyes fluttered down into a 'come here, baby,' kind of look.

"My girl always gets what she wants," he gently pulled her up for a quick kiss. Devery gave him another tired smile before they tried to find a more comfortable position on the single bed.

She ended up on her side with Sirius spooning her back. Once she signaled that she was good with this arrangement, Sirius vanished the little orbs and started to soothe her into a deep sleep. He drew soothing circles on her abdomen and lightly kissed her neck.

"Goodnight, beautiful," he whispered and Devery laced her fingers with his in reply. It didn't take her long to fall asleep. Sirius's embrace was full of warmth, she found lying next to him to be quite heavenly. This was exactly what she needed to end the day on a good note.


Sirius slept beautifully that night and so did, Devery. Her boyfriend thankfully didn't snore that much. He just liked to snuggle into her body and she didn't mind that at all. She woke up on his bare chest the next morning and with a tired yawn, checked for the time on her watch. It was thankfully only seven o'clock. Her first detention ever at Hogwarts kick-started in three hours. Great. Just great.

Devery cringed at the thought of detention. Unlike her boyfriend, she was not a fan of cleaning. Dumbledore knew this and Devery wondered what kind of nasties her headmaster would cook up for her to do near Hagrid's Hut. Maybe, she had to help the friendly gamekeeper with some gardening?

She didn't mind a spot of gardening or Hagrid for that matter. He was a lovely half-giant who had an enthusiasm for magical creatures.

It was then that Sirius decided to wriggle a little in his sleep. He did that a lot, Devery quickly noticed and she calmly watched Sirius find a new comfortable spot. He ended up resting his forehead near her sternum and Devery raised her eyebrows at the unconscious placement.

Cheeky bugger.

She then felt Sirius tighten his arms around her middle before he let out a rare snore and started to rub his face in-between the valley of her breasts, which Devery was having nothing of until they discussed a certain black book so she needed to diffuse the situation.

Not that Sirius wasn't allowed to snoop around there… just not yet. But before she took action, Devery marveled at how gorgeously peaceful, Sirius looked while he slept. His natural intensity evaded him in that moment.

She lightly stroked his messy black hair and worked her way to his scruffy cheek before she found what she was looking for: his nose.

Devery gently pinched his nostrils together and she laughed at the look of horror Sirius had when she scared him awake.

"Merlin, Devery! Don't do that!" Sirius woke up with a fright and Devery gave him a sympathetic pout. His shout thankfully didn't wake up Remus and Peter due to his previous silencing charms.

Sirius then sat up with a tired frown and he shot his girlfriend a glare.

"You're lucky, I find you cute," he grumbled with folded arms and Devery tried not to comment on how adorable he looked when he was tired and cranky.

Sirius just glared at her puppy dog expression.

"Don't give me that look, Dev. You know you're in the wrong here," he continued to scold but Devery ignored him. His well-muscled arms were on display and that took all of her immediate attention.

"Are you ignoring me, Leafwood?" He spluttered in surprise and he got his answer when Devery smirked.

"And they say I'm the troublemaker," Sirius remarked in disbelief and he jumped again that morning but for a whole other reason. Devery quickly sat up, gave him a 'good morning' kiss and popped him on the noise before she turned to retrieve their notebook and pen.

Sirius just watched Devery in disbelief and shook his head with a grumble when she resettled in-between his bend knees.

She lightly kissed his neck a few times which he liked and pulled his arms around her middle with one of her charming smiles that always made his heart skip a beat. And just like that, he no longer felt pissed that she woke him up so early on a Saturday morning.

"You should be outlawed," he sighed and Devery looked confused. 'Why?' she mouthed and Sirius just looked at her.

"You make it really hard to stay mad with you."

Devery smiled again when he said that and Sirius tickled her side to get back at her. She jumped in his arms with a silent laugh before she opened their notebook and rested it on her bend knees, cushioned by his.

"I had to wake you," she quickly wrote.

"And why ever for, love? It's Saturday," Sirius yawned.

"You were getting a little too friendly."

Sirius laughed when he read that one and started to peck her face with kisses.

"You're my girlfriend, Dev and I love you, of course I am going to be a little too friendly with you," he gushed against her mouth and Devery tapped the notebook to redirect his attention. But Sirius couldn't help but notice how her cheeks started to grow red.

"You had your face in my chest area."

"Oh," Sirius sounded more awake.

"It's not that I didn't like it, it's just…" Devery trailed off and turned to look at Sirius properly.

"I overheard Meriden talking about your little black book and I don't want to disappoint you because of my lack of experience."

Sirius grew awfully quiet then until he leaned over the side of his bed. It sounded like he was digging for something under his mattress and Devery watched him with patient eyes.

A few minutes passed until Sirius was upright again and this time, he had a black journal in his grasp. The journal looked quiet old. To Devery's surprise, Sirius handed it to her without a word and she took it.

Sirius's dark eyes indicated for her to open it and Devery did. Her curiosity got the better of her and what she found did not match her expectations.

The journal was not full of Sirius's past relations with the opposite sex. It was full of diary entries from his sixth year and to Devery's shock, a mixture of insecurity and joy bleed from its very pages. Sirius mostly wrote about his studies, his friends, the Potters, Quidditch, his fears, his hopes and dreams for the future. He also wrote about his crush on her and how nervous he felt to even say hello to her so he figured he needed to beat this somehow and that was to get more confidence with girls.

"As you can see, I am an idiot," Sirius muttered in a self-depreciating tone and Devery looked at him with great concern.

"Arrogant too," he added and he reached forward to flick further into the journal. Devery then started to read about his successes and surprisingly many failures with girls. But at the same time, it was like he was psychoanalyzing himself and the girl he was dating at the time. He wrote about how he got better at the physical things, flirting and being romantic.

His diary entries read like a how-to-guide for dating. Full of dos and don't and hardly anything about developing feelings. Each girl, he briefly dated read like a passing fantasy until Devery reached the diary entries about Meriden.

That was where she learned, Meriden Spade was Sirius's first in all things sexual and Sirius complimented her highly in the pleasure department. They did it a lot too because Sirius wanted to perfect his new shagging skills.

"I had no feelings for them, Devery. Only you had the keys to my heart and you still do," Sirius said, looking nervous and Devery tried to reassure him by holding his hand. She believed that without a doubt now. The way he wrote about her in comparison to the other girls was very different and it did help that Sirius later described the sex with Meriden as meaningless practice and how it started to make him feel out of sorts before he broke it off.

"The guy who wrote those diary entries is not me anymore. They belong to a past version of me who was more of a senseless toerag than I am now," Sirius explained further. "Meriden was only able to read the entries about her before I caught her in the act. She doesn't know me and she doesn't know what she's talking about when it comes to that book."

Devery nodded in understanding and Sirius looked deeply into her eyes.

"You could never disappoint me when you touch me, Dev. With you, it's different," He led her hand to his face so that she was touching his cheek as he stared at her.

His eyes and the sudden pain in them burned Devery's soul deep. "I don't feel wrong when you touch me. It just feels right and it's hard to explain but… I can be simply myself when I'm with you."

Devery felt her eyes grow wet and Sirius gently pulled her into a warm hug.

"I'm sorry, love," he apologized profusely but Devery stopped him with a shake of her head and she reached for their notebook.

"Don't be. These are happy tears," she wrote with a watery smile and Sirius kissed her with a relieved smile.

"Good, good," he mumbled against her lips and Devery leaned back to grab their notebook.

"I can't help but wish you asked me out last year though," she started to write and Sirius held her closely.

"I'm probably going to sound like a heartless prick right now but I don't care," Sirius looked at her closely. "Meriden… all of those other girls I've dated, they never meant anything to me. It was like I was stuck in a vicious cycle-

Devery quickly held a finger to his soft lips.

"Nothing has changed between us. I don't care about your past, Sirius. All that matters to me is the person in front of me right now and where we go from here."

Sirius stared at the strength behind those words in amazement.

"I only said that because you didn't have to change or improve on anything to approach me. I'm sure after some convincing, I would've gone to Hogsmeade or something with you last year. I like you as you are, Sirius."

The pen slipped from her hands when Sirius kissed her deeply and he didn't break the kiss until they both needed air.

"I love you so much Dev," he breathed.

Once he let that cat out of the bag, it was like he couldn't stop saying it. He wanted everyone to know, he wanted to scream it from the top of the astronomy tower.

Devery smiled briefly and reached for her pen again. This conversation they needed to have wasn't done yet and Sirius sensed it.

"What is it, beautiful?" He gently rubbed her back and he noticed Devery start to blush and chew on her lower lip… nervously.

"Promise to not laugh?" She looked at him, shyly and Sirius nodded. "I promise… you can tell me anything, Devery."

He watched Devery release a breath; she didn't realize she was holding in. She clutched her eyes shut and forced herself to get on with it before what little of her courage suddenly evaporated.

Sirius felt his face heatup when he read what she wrote with shaky hands. When he didn't immediately say anything, Devery looked at him, feeling uneasy.

For the first time ever, she watched Sirius Black blush, bright red in the cheeks. That was when she started to panic.

"You don't want too?" She signed with wide eyes and Sirius couldn't help but fidget with his hands, looking like he was at war with himself.

"Of course, I do, I would be batshit crazy if I didn't want too," he forced out and Devery looked at him oddly.

"Then, what's the problem?"

"I cannot believe I am actually saying this but I think we should wait."

Devery frowned then, "but I don't want to wait," she signed and Sirius rubbed his tired eyes, perplexed as to what to say next.

"We can do it, right now, even! I don't have detention until 10am," Devery signed, feeling a lot more bold and Sirius looked at her in outrage.

"There is no bloody way that I am rushing our first time, Devery," Sirius said in a dead serious tone and Devery looked at him like he grew a second head.

"An hour is not enough time?" She questioned and Sirius gave her a pointed glare.

"With me? Yes! I need more time," He explained and that was when the gravity of the situation knocked into him hard.

"Evans really did a number on me," he muttered to himself before he glanced at Devery again. "Here, I am, a hormonal seventeen year old, telling my beautiful girlfriend we should wait to have sex, blimey!" Sirius covered his face but not for very long when Devery made him face her again.

"But I want too," she pleaded with her hazel eyes and Sirius looked like he was in physical pain.

"Not yet, baby. It will be your first time and it needs to be special because you deserve that."

To Sirius's surprise, Devery didn't take his explanation too kindly and she grabbed their notebook.

"Can you quit being a nice boy for one minute and just be a bad one and touch me this morning?"

"Oh Merlin," Sirius sighed loudly. She really had no idea how badly she was affecting him right now and he held his knees to his chest to hide the evidence. She made him rock hard with those words he dreamed of hearing for months and his mind started to conjure up images of what he could do to her body to make her scream his name.

"It's too soon, Dev," Sirius breathed, "like… we haven't even reached the other bases yet. You can't just do a homerun and rush the buildup."

Devery perked up in interest then and Sirius cursed himself for mentioning the other bases.

"How do you buildup to having sex?"

Sirius just looked at her, "haven't you heard of second and third base?"

'Oh,' Devery made a face before blushing. She heard of those before but she just didn't realize that you had to do those before shagging.

"And to my knowledge, we are still sitting comfortably on first base," Sirius indicated and he quickly grew worried by the mischievous look, Devery suddenly gave him.

"What's going through that brilliant mind of yours, Dev?" Sirius questioned and he got his answer when Devery started to unbutton her pyjama top. He swallowed hard and couldn't for the life of him, find the strength to tell her to stop.

Her pyjama top fell to the bed and that was when she crawled over to straddle his lap. She only had a flimsy blue tank top on and Sirius could see the outlines of her nipples clearly. That tank top was the only layer in his path.

His resolve started to weaken when Devery started to fiddle with the ends of her top and bared her smooth belly.

"If I get put into the hospital wing for this… you better visit me, every day?"

Devery looked at him with as much seduction as she could muster and reached for his hands.

"Ah, Merlin," Sirius groaned when he touched her skin and it was like his hands were no longer connected to his brain. He was reaching for her tank top before he knew it.

"You are one very cheeky witch," Sirius narrowed his eyes a little and Devery laughed while she helped him pull off her top.

But some of her bravado left her then. No guy had seen her topless before and she started to feel a little self-conscious. Maybe, this was a bad idea and she was about to cover-up when Sirius's grey eyes stopped immobilized her. His eyes didn't drift downwards yet; he kept them trained on her face.

"You're perfect," he stilled her fears in an instant with those words and Devery found herself kissing him before she knew it. She jumped a little at the new sensation of her breasts pressing up against his chest and Sirius simply held her close.

He caressed away the sudden tenseness in her arms and back until he couldn't stand it anymore.

Devery was on her back before she realised it and that was when Sirius finally took in his fill of her partially exposed body. She bit her lower lip, unsure on what to do next and Sirius sensed this intuitively.

"You're absolutely perfect," he looked at her tenderly and took charge of the situation.

"I'll go slowly and I will stop if you want me too," he promised and Devery nodded. Sirius then guided her into a long kiss to soothe her mind. He concentrated on exploring the depths of her mouth until Devery felt inspired to do the same. She kissed him back and that was Sirius started to feel the passion between them sizzle with a warm burn.

Her elegant hands were in his hair and Sirius groaned against her mouth when she pulled it, a little. Devery opened her mouth a little with a silent moan when he started to bite and nibble at her lower lip.

"Merlin, you drive me crazy," he said in a much huskier tone and he kissed her hard. He felt Devery's breathing pick up with speed when he started to caress her abdomen. Her panting was something he would never tire of hearing. When she needed air, Sirius started to trace her jawline with his tongue and teeth.

Overwhelmed with new sensations, Devery closed her eyes and tried to simply take the moment in. She shivered when she felt Sirius brush the underside of her breasts with light fingers. They were both venturing into unknown territory right now, her more so than Sirius.

She whimpered when Sirius started to suckle her earlope and pulse point. Those were her secret spots and it didn't take him long to find them at all. She shivered again when Sirius started to lick and suck his way towards her collarbone. He was getting her back for that hickey, she gave him, she just knew it.

She was like soft liquidfire underneath him and he wanted more. More skin, more touching, more contact. Devery gasped when Sirius involuntarily started to undulate his hips against hers. She couldn't help but moan at the feel of him down there. She was throbbing down there and she wasn't sure why but it wasn't a hurtful throbbing. It was like she was craving to be filled and it felt better when she rocked against his hips.

"That's it, baby," Sirius groaned against her neck in encouragement. Devery just touched and rocked against him. Some of her touches were short-lived, like her fingertips tracing over his abs and some were longer. Her breasts pushed against his chest, nipples hard and pointed against him. Her touches were sweet and innocent in an exploratory kind of way. It was a kind of touch Sirius had never experienced before.

She was all fresh and untouched, and a primal part of him really liked that.

"Sirius," he faintly heard her in his mind, he thought but he was too intoxicated by the feel of her body to notice. Her breasts filled his palms and he loved the weight of them. Devery jumped a little at his sudden teasing but he reassured her by softly holding her hips.

"Just feel, Dev. Don't think," he told her softly before he dived in to tease her nipples with his mouth. And Devery did what she was told with no worries. She lied back and simply felt. She pulsed in pleasure underneath Sirius's skilled hands and mouth. He had her arching her back in mere minutes.

"That's it, love. God, you look so sexy right now," she heard him groan somewhere in the distance. But she can feel him doing something new with her pants. He was tugging them down a bit and she bit her lips in anticipation. Sirius rubbed up her bare thigh with his other hand and goes to a place nobody but her has touched and Devery opened her legs in unspoken consent.

He knew was pushing it but he already pushed it this far so he thought: why the hell not?

He continued to suckle on her breasts while he ventured closer to her arousal. He strangely heard Devery moan in his head when he started to tease and pinch her clit.

Devery felt like her body was on fire. She felt completely overwhelmed and she didn't know exactly what to do. All she could really do is feel and it felt wonderful. Sirius was on her skin and in her mind. She didn't know how it happened but it just did. Their physical closeness kick started their telepathic connection.

"Oh god, Sirius," she moaned his name and she whimpered at the sudden strange dipping feeling she felt from Sirius's hand. He pushed one long finger inside her.

Sirius immediately doesn't like the tightness of her body and he briefly wondered how it was going to be when he eventually took her virginity but Devery's clenching body around his finger quickly chased that thought away. He can see her hands fist the bedsheets and hear her pleasure-filled whimpers in his head. He added another finger and stroked her intimately. Devery is completely speechless at this new delicious but painful feeling of being stretched.

"It will hurt a little but will get better soon," She heard Sirius promise and she opened her eyes to look at him at the same moment, he decided to tease her swollen clit again.

She was done for then and Sirius knew this. He had the decency to flash her one of his sexy grins before he amped up his attentions on her tingling body.

He tugged at one of her nipples at the same time he dragged his thumb over her swollen clit and Devery couldn't recall much after that. He played her body like she was an instrument until with one sudden nibble and quick stroke of his hands, Devery swore she started to see stars behind her eyes. Her entire body shook and pulsed until it felt like she erupted into what felt like a million pieces.

She had no recollection of screaming telepathically in Sirius's head. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before but whatever it was, it was good, no more like bloody fantastic and she wanted to experience it again. She slipped through time and space and came back experiencing pleasurable chills.

She came back to see Sirius, resting on his elbow beside her and he looked overly pleased with himself like he just won a Quidditch match.

"Why, hello there, sweetheart," he grinned wickedly and Devery simply blinked in response.

"Have a nice ride?" He raised his eyebrows and again, Devery just blinked. Sirius laughed at her adorable, stupefied expression and kissed her forehead.

"That my love was an orgasm and I take it… it was your first one?" Devery nodded with a small smile. She really liked this build up to sex thing.

"We are now sitting on third base, how do you feel about that?" Sirius rubbed her back and Devery's continuing flushed expression was all the answer he needed.

"I want more," she signed shyly and Sirius gently pulled her into a hug with a chuckle.

"I am more than happy to give you more but right now, you need breakfast so you can survive Dumbledore's detention."
