Chapter 10

That night Claudia crawled in to bed at around 1 in the morning. She had gone back to the common room not long after Neville had left and she had finished crying but she had not wanted to face Pansy in the state she was in so she had sat staring at the fire for as long as possible. When she finally felt too tired to stay up much longer she ventured to bed.

When she entered the dorm room she heard the gentle and steady breathing of Pansy Parkinson so she knew she was safe for now. She changed quickly and clambered into bed and sleep came to her quickly as the exaustion took over.

When she woke up the next morning Pansy was waiting for her. She had demanded to know everything about what had happened. She looked so excited and happy and Claudia couldn't help but cry again. She'd explained everything to Pansy and the girl was furious for her but she didn't have it in her to be angry at Neville. She knew it must of been something she'd done she just couldn't think what and was desperately confused.

For the next week she went to the reading room every day. Sometimes taking a book sometimes she just sat and looked out the window. She was waiting for him. She needed to understand. She needed to know why he'd run away from her like that. Was he disgusted by her? Was she so unapeeling that kissing her revolted him? She needed to know so she waited.

Pansy offered to keep her company but she refused because when he did come she needed to do this alone. She needed to take the humiliation alone.

Every single day from 11 till 9 she sat on the windowledge of window number 2 and every single day he never came.

Except for on the last day.

The day before the rest of the students were due to come back for the holidays Claudia was sitting staring out the window at 12 o'clock in the afternoon when she heard something shuffling it's way along the dark tunnel towards her.

She stopped breathing when she saw him appear there in the door way.

She was sitting on the edge of the window ledge with one leg hanging off and the other tucked under her. He could see her from where he stood and she looked magnificent with a halo of light around her from the window. She just stared owlishly at him from her seat and waited for him to say something.

He moved towards her stiffly until he was only a foot away. He was affraid to get any closer. She still just stared.

"Ron told me to come here." He said. Her eyes widened. She felt for sure it would of been Pansy that would of forced his hand in this one. He saw her shocked expression and answered it. "Apparently Pansy came to him on christmas saying what a terrible person I am for hurting her friend and how they should team up and pin me down to castrate me. Or something of that nature." He said. Claudia felt a swell of affection for her friend and decided she would be getting another christmas present soon. "Then Ron came and found me after calming Pansy down and demanded and explanation. When I told him he bugged me all week till i agreed to come and meet you." Another swell of affection was felt for her friends boyfriend. Perhaps she would make an effort to be nice to him.

He still hadn't explained what she had done wrong though so she just sat and waited until she realised he wasn't going to say anything without prompting.

"What did I do wrong?" She asked after several minutes.

His head shot up from its drooped position so fast he was sure he had whiplash.

"What do you mean?" He asked utterly confused.

"Well I had to do something wrong for you to just shoot out the room like that. I just want to know what it was that I did so wrong. Am I that bad a kisser? Or am I just too ugly for you to kiss?" She asked, her voice blank and emotionless.

His jaw hit the floor with her words. She thought she wasn't good enough? I made her feel that way! He felt all the more ashamed at himself now. Even more than he did anyway. He took a seat opposite her on the window ledge.

"It was nothing you did Claudia trust me." He stated with a sigh.

"But-" He cut off her protests.

"Beleive me ok it wasn't you." He said looking her in the eye and she saw the sincerity there. He continued "Claudia you are a beautiful woman. A goddess if you ask me and when we kissed it was the most excruciatingly fantastic moment of my life. I am incredibly sorry I messed up." He finished finally breaking the intense eye contact and letting his head drop in shame.

"Then why-" She was cut off again.

"Because I got scared. The things that I was feeling were so intense and so purely animalistic I knew I couldn't stop myself if we went on any longer." He was pacing now. "Everything you were doing to my body was so wonderful and I didn't want to stop but I also didn't want to hurt you. I needed you like a drowning man needs air and I was terrified of hurting you or that you didn't want what I did so I pulled away and I needed to get away from you as soon as possible for your own good and-" This time she cut him off.

Not with words however with her lips. She pressed herself to him as he wrapped his arms around her, getting over his shock quickly and restarting the kiss he ended a week earlier. Everything he had said, his explanation, made her heart warm for the man she was now pressed up against. She pulled away from him gently to whisper in his ear.

"You will not hurt me. Do what you want with me I am yours."

Neville groaned deeply and franticly rejoined their lips. Their passion for one another grew and grew once again before neither one could take it and clothes began being removed rapidly.

Claudia was the first to act. She tugged at his shirt eventually becoming impatient and tearing it open with all her strength and yanking it off his shoulders. He was next to move and pulled the top she was wearing off over her head and throwing it into a corner out of sight.

He looked down when she was revealed to him and groaned once more at the sight. Her round breasts were rising and falling with her laboured breathing and he was captivated. He began kissing down her neck and down her collarbone till he kissed the top of each breast and she arched up to him in order to give him better acces to her.

At that Neville decided standing was just getting in the way so he picked her up with her legs wrapped around his waste and lay her down, not too softly onto the pillows on the window ledge. As he kneeled over her he looked into her arctic orbs and saw the lust, the passion and the need that was within them and just knew it was entirely recipricated within his own brown eyes.

He once again began kissing down her neck and finally reached the valley between her breasts before paying full attention to her right breast and its pert nipple which was now peaking out from the plunge bra she was wearing. He licked and bit and squeezed it and revelled in the tiny mews of pleasure coming from the woman beneath him.

Claudia herself was enraptured by how simple a touch from this man could have her body reacting of its own accord. She was stroking his arms and along his shoulders where his muscles were pronounced and she loved the feeling of the firm flesh under her fingertips.

Soon he needed more again and tugged at the button then the zip of the jeans she was wearing till they had been entirely removed. He took a moment to take in the full beauty of his girl and she blushed beneath him at his stare.

"You are my aphrodite." He said and she withered at his words.

His movements became more gentle and far more similar to the man she'd spent nearly a month observing from a far. Every time he touched her it was delicate and delibirate and as much as the loved the heat of before she enjoyed this more. This was more... him.

He kissed her lips lovingly before he made his way down her body, undoing and removing her bra as he went, and finally towards her most intimate area. He looked back up at her in what seemed to be a question. She nodded gently at him in reply.

He removed the delicate set of underwear from her all too slowly. He knew she wanted this but he wanted to give her time to change her mind. Also he enjoyed the idea of teasing her ever so slightly.

She smelt to sweet to him and he couldn't wait to lavish her with his tongue but he looked up one more time to check she was still ok, only to see her laid back with her eyes shut. Waiting for him. He moved forward and licked the full length of her wet fold and she wimpered. He did it again and her eyes flung open. Finally he latched himself to her clit and sucked and licked at it untill her moans and the gentle curse words she had been speaking became incoherent as she rode out her first orgasm of the night.

He lifted up from his position between her legs and crawled up her body till he was able to kiss her lips again.

Still feeling the after affects of her orgasm Claudia did not think she could feel this turned on again so soon but as soon as she saw him hovering over her and the moment he kissed her lips she was just as turned on as she had been the moments before her orgasm.

Her hands moved all over his body and she found all the sensitive spots she could. All the areas where he would arch towards her or moan into her mouth when she stroked them with the tips of her fingers.

She decided she wanted more so she mover hands down his toned stomach towards the top of his jeans. She eased the button apart and tugged on the zipper then pulled them as far down his hips as they would go before she could reach no further.

Feeling her frustration he pulled away from her and stood infront of her window ledge in order to remove the garment she was so desperate to see beneath. He slowly pulled the offending article of clothing down along with his boxers untill he was stood in front of her completely naked.

The area between her legs wetted even more than before at the mere sight of him. He was perfect. So wonderfully sculpted and firm and his cock which stood rigid between his hips was a work of art she thought. He was long but not so long she was scared it would injure her and he was thick. So thick she had no problem realising he would fill her perfectly. She was anxious to get started.

He started moving towards her again and she sat up desperate to touch him again. He placed his hands on her face and kissed her firmly but so sweetly she melted into his hands. He leaned her back till he was laying on top of her. She thought she would feel suffocated but she just felt complete as though that was exactly where he was meant to be, above her and with his mouth on hers.

He eventually moved away from the kiss an looked at her his face inches from hers.

"Are you sure you want this?" He asked one last time. One last chance to back away from what they had started.

"I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life." She said firmly in reply.

They smiled gently at eachother and he positioned himself between her legs, still looking at eachother in the eye.

"This will hurt for a moment but I promise I will make it worth it." He said and she nodded. She didn't care if it hurt her need was too great to give in to a little pain.

He then positioned himself at her entrance and with one smooth push he broke her barrier and was inside of her.

She gasped at the slight pain in her groin but when he stayed as still as possible, letting her get used to the new feeling, she found she still needed more of him. She thrust her hips up to meet his and gasped at the new beautiful sensation, the pain having gone.

He started to move slowly forward till he was fully inveloped in her. She was breathing heavily beneath him and it was taking all he had to not thrust madly back and forth. This feeling, the feeling of being inside of someone was entirely new to him as a virgin but he was sure this would never feel this good with another woman.

"Move. Please love I need it." Came the desperate whisper into his ear and he nearly came at the mere sound of it.

He started to thrust in and out of the goddess beneath him and she began panting and moaning as the feeling became more and more pleasurable.

Soon the feeling grew so intense that Neville had no choice but to pump in and out of her faster and faster and she never complained once. She loved every second of it. She scratched at his back and bit his shoulder and yelled his name when he hit that particularly sensitive spot inside her.

Everything about the experience was so good. The feel of him filling her, the feel of his skin, the small grunts that he made as he got closer to climax. The best thing though, was the fact he was watching her face through out it all. They stared into eachothers eyes as they made passionate love to one another and it was perfect.

After what seemed like hours but was more like 30 minutes they came to a crashing climax one after another. She came first screaming his name and he came not a minute later with a groan which sounded distinctly like 'Claud'.

As they lay in their post orgasmic haze they weren't to know everything that would come to them in the rest of their life times. They weren't to know how both of them would stop lerking in the shadows so much and would become far less reclusive people. They weren't to know that they would fall in love and become engaged at the end of their final year. Or that they would be married not a year later and have a kid a year after that. They weren't to know that they would be with one another till the day they died, with their families and friends all around them.

That doesn't seem like the life of a recluse now does it.
