"Get dressed and I'll show you." Theo said as he stood up holding Arik.

Confused, Arik went up to her room wondering what could be in store.

While Theo stood patiently by the couch, Arik was upstairs getting dressed for whatever surprise he had planned. Standing at her closet, she tried to find a shirt that wasn't too small yet. This wasn't an easy task; Arik found that all of her shirts were straining over her rapidly swelling stomach. Groaning, she decided on a tighter tank top under a loose purple top. Pairing that with a pair of jeans that had to be magically sized to fit, she slipped on some flats and headed back down.

As she walked down, Arik wondered about what Theo had planned.

It could be a picnic, or a walk around the grounds, or maybe a trip to Hogsmead.

Any idea she thought of seemed like a pretty good plan, but she wasn't quite sure. Deciding that it would be impossible to figure it out, she met Theo by the stairs. She was surprised when he wasn't down in the common room, looking around she saw a letter on the table and opened it.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry if you 're freaking out because I'm not there, but I decided I didn't just want you to go to the spot I had planned, I want you to find it. So I've left a few clues for you. I'll be there every step of the way, you just won't see me.

See you soon, Theo the Magnificent."

Laughing to herself Arik folded the letter and put it in her pocket. Looking around she noticed a blue envelope that hadn't been there before.

Opening it, she read, "Arik, Sweetie, was the closing on that one a little much? I thought it sounded pretty amazing, but you don't have to call me that, though it would be nice. I'm just kidding about that last part. Anyway, I bet you're wondering about your first clue. This one's pretty easy, just go down to the kitchen and ask for a cinnamon cupcake, the elves will know what to do."

Laughing as her stomach growled when she read about the cupcake she headed for the kitchen. Tickling the pear, Arik stepped lightly in and was instantly bombarded by the elves all asking what she wanted.

Clearing her throat, Arik asked, "Can I have a cinnamon cupcake?"

Immediately, one of the elves ran forward with the cupcake and delivered it along with a card. Taking a bite of the cupcake, Arik opened the next card.

"I hope you're enjoying that cupcake, did you start eating it before or after you opened the letter? I suppose it doesn't matter, I'm just curious. Anyway, here's your next destination: Go to the lake, but you have to go to a specific spot, it's cool and shaded and you could sit there all day reading. Have fun on your adventure."

Groaning Arik left the kitchen and headed for the front doors. As she walked down the little path to the lake she looked around,for her tree, the one that on the first day, she had said would have been perfect for reading and shutting out the world. Looking at a tree right on the bank of the lake she noticed a small bookshelf propped against the trunk. Running towards it Arik took of her shoes midstride and relished the feeling of the grass on her bare feet. As she reached the book shelf she picked up the letter on the top and let herself wander to the edge of the water, dipping her toes in.

"Arik, please be careful near the water, the giant squid isn't going to leave you alone just because you're so beautiful, in fact that might make it want you more. I knew you'd like this spot because it was close to the water, I know you can't resist dipping your toes in, in fact, I bet you're doing that right now." Arik guiltily squished her toes in the mud, "I hope you're not getting too exhausted with all this running around I'm having you do. It should be close to dinner time now, why don't you go back to the dorm and get ready, and then you can go get something to eat."

Arik looked at the letter confused but headed back to their dorm. When she, Arik went up to her room and looked on her bed. In addition to a letter placed on her bed, there was a gorgeous light blue strapless dress laying there.

Opening the letter, Arik read, "Love, I want you to wear this and do your hair all up, then come down to the 'living room' when you're done. You'll see what I had in plan all along. Hurry up; I miss you too much to wait much longer."

Laughing to herself, Arik slid out of her clothes and put on the dress, it slid over her body and danced at her feet. As she did her hair up she added a touch of makeup and looked herself over in the mirror. The dress had just enough layering to cover her noticeable baby bump. And it looked like the top two layers were made of a mesh-like material and bound using silk. Slipping into a pair of shoes, Arik carefully made her way down the stairs.

When Arik entered the 'living room' she was shocked. The room had been transformed into a grand dining room that had thousands of candles placed and floating all around the room. The scent of roasting food filled the room and Arik's mouth filled with saliva. Theo was standing next to the table smirking as Arik took all of this in. Arik looked over at him and smiled slightly.

"You did all of this?" She asked.

"Yes."

"How?" Arik asked incredulously.

"Well in case you forgot, I am a wizard; I used magic to do the candles, but the cooking I did myself." Theo said smiling bigger.

Laughing Arik walked over to him and stood on her tip-toes so she could kiss him soundly on the lips. After the kiss, Theo pulled out a chair and Arik sat down while Theo waved his wand and their food came out and filled their plates. The roasting food turned out to be pork roast with potatoes and carrots. As they ate, Arik told him about the scavenger hunt that he had made her go on, how fun, entertaining, and humorous it was.

"Oh, and I started eating the cupcake before I read the letter." Arik said laughing to herself.

"I had a feeling you would." Theo said laughing with her.

When they finally finished dinner, Theo came over and held out his hand. "Care to dance?"

Confused Arik looked around, "But there isn't any music, and the table is in the way."

With another flick of his wand, Theo turned on a slow waltz and made the table go away. "I feel like you forget that we can do magic."

Sighing Arik said, "I forget a lot of things when I'm around you."

Taking his hand, Ark followed him to the center of the room and placed her hands around his neck as his hands snaked around her waist. Letting themselves move to the rhythm of the music, they got lost in each other's eyes and started to move closer to each other. When they were finally as close as they could be, Theo leaned down and kissed Arik passionately. Arik's response was mutual and she found herself running her hands through his dark brown hair.

Breaking the kiss, Theo looked down at her. "Arik, I don't want to do anything you don't want to. So, just tell me to stop."

Nodding Arik moaned as Theo led kisses down her neck to her sweet spot. "Just tell me to stop."

Gripping his hair tighter, Arik tried to press herself closer to him only to find that there was no space between them.

Theo kissed back up her neck pausing to nibble on her ear and smiling as Arik shivered. His hands started to wander over her body as he kissed her again. Taking her by the hand, Theo led her to his room where he resumed kissing her passionately.

It was only when Arik tried to push Theo onto his bed that Theo stopped. "Arik, are you sure you want to do this? Once it's done, I can't exactly give it back."

Smiling at him Arik nodded, "Theo, I know I want this, I know I can't get it back. I want this." Arik punctuated the last sentence by kissing him after every word.

It was then that Theo grabbed her up and placed her on the bed while he straddled her hips. He leaned down and kissed down her neck again, then down to her cleavage. As Arik moaned, Theo kept up his assault of kisses while his hands worked towards the hem of her dress, pulling it up slowly.

As Theo did this, Arik worked on getting him topless, which wasn't that hard to do. Once his shirt was off, Arik started working on his pants; her hands shook as she tried to undo the button and zipper. Suddenly she felt warm hands on hers, Theo guided her hands through the motions and when his pants were undone, he slithered out of them so he was on top of her in only his boxers.

Theo grabbed her dress and pulled it the rest of the way up and off. Seeing her there under him in nothing but knickers and a bra, his kissing got more feverish, as did his touching. Before either of them noticed, both were stark naked and Theo was positioned at her opening.

Theo kissed Arik one more time, "This might hurt, bite on me if it does ok? I'd go slowly, but that might make it hurt more. Are you ready?"

Arik nodded and kissed Theo as she braced herself.

Theo straightened himself and started to go in. Arik braced herself against his shoulder ready to bite if necessary. Suddenly it just happened; Theo thrust in and felt a slight barrier that gave way as his member met it. With the sudden thrust, Arik momentarily couldn't feel anything, then it came to her, a slight pain, well it wasn't quite a pain, rather a discomfort that she soon got used to.

"Are you ok?" Theo asked, worry evident in his voice.

Nodding Arik smiled at him. "Keep going."

And like a rocket Theo sprang back into action thrusting his hips to meet hers. Every time they met, Arik moaned in pure ecstasy and soon felt her muscles tightening. "Theo!"

The responded by kissing her fully on the mouth and speeding up. With every thrust Arik's voice got louder until finally her body went calm as she rode out the end of her orgasm. Feeling her muscles tightening and relaxing over his member, Theo soon reached his climax and spilled his load inside her.

When they finally had their breathing back to normal, Theo cast a cleaning spell on the both of them and they fell asleep together, Theo holding her in protective arms.
