Chapter Fourteen: The Ruby and the Emerald

Emma is slowly becoming a ball of stress and it doesn't take Killian long to notice. The year has now entered June and exams are just around the corner. Killian would have been worried at the sudden distance that had fallen between he and Emma, if he didn't know that exams where one of the things that Emma is truly stressed about. David had made sure to tell him when Emma had failed to show up to one of their dates at their tree by the lake. When Killian found her an hour later she was in the library practicing non-verbal spells. Emma was more than happy when he brought her some finger sandwiches and iced pumpkin juice.

It is no secret that June is the worst month of the year for all Hogwarts students.

…

Emma enters the Great Hall for breakfast on the morning of her Potions exam. Her friends are all gathered around the table revising over last minute notes that may help them pass the exam. Killian is amongst them and he too looks a little stressed. He himself is leaning over the table and reading something off Mary Margaret's notes before retreating and writing it onto his.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Ruby chuckles as Emma sits down beside Killian, swinging her legs under the long oak table. "You don't look too happy."

Emma rolls her eyes at the brunette, and places her study notes on the table. "I'm not. I think I'm going to fail Potions."

Mary Margaret sighs. "Emma everything is going to be okay. You will pass and you always stress out every year and never fail to end up near the top for the overall marks."

"Thanks." Emma offers Mary Margaret a softer smile, before turning to Killian who was is at her with a raised eye-brow.

Emma grins and pokes her tongue out at him in a teasing manner and she returns back at her notes.

"Attention students…" Leopold's voice comes as he uses his as a microphone. "In half an hour you are to make your way to your first exam. You should all be well aware of the rules second years and above. First years you will have a prep talk before your first exam. Make sure you eat plenty of food. It will help your brain function better."

Emma looks down at the bacon, egg, sausages and toast that Killian had already put together on her plate just like he does every morning. Tentatively she begins to eat her bacon and can't help but moan at its delicious taste. She feels Killian shuffle next to her and she gives him a curious look, and when his eyes meet hers she understands. His pupils have blackened due to her little moan which has sparked something inside of him.

Ten minutes later Emma finishes eating her breakfast and peers around at her friends who are all still studying. Emma doesn't fail to notice that Killian still hasn't fully relaxed and gently she caresses his arm.

"Are you okay?" She asks giving him a concerned look.

Killian nods. "Aye princess. Just a little worried."

Emma chuckles before she grabs her things and stands. "I'm just going to quickly grab my wand from the bathroom I left it in there."

Robin looks up and nods. "Sorry I forgot to grab it earlier for you. It's still beside the mirror."

"Thanks." Emma smiles before she quickly kisses Killian's cheek and begins to walk out of the great hall.

She has only just reached the grand staircase when she feels a playful smack on her behind. She jumps slightly even though she knows it is Killian.

"I hope no one saw that." Emma playfully scolds as he falls in step with her.

"We're alone, princess." He wraps his arm around her waist.

Emma sighs happily as they make their way to the fifth floor corridor where the Gryffindor prefect bathroom resides. Killian watches as Emma stands outside the door and mutters Pineappleunder her breath before the door opens to reveal a large and fancy looking bathroom.

"Wow this is so much nicer than the Slytherin one." Killian comments as he looks around at the golden walls. "And it smells better and it's warmer."

Emma rolls her eyes. "It's only warm because Robin took a very early bath this morning."

Killian watches as Emma makes her way over the sink and he gently shuts the door behind him. Emma pockets her wand and turns to face him curiously.

"Is that the part where you murder me now?" She whispers.

Killian gives her a grin and with two quick strides Emma finds herself pressed against the sink cabinet, his lips attacking hers. She runs her hands down his back as he lifts her to sit on the cabinet standing in between her legs. Emma can feel his hardened length and she groans. She knows that he has become aroused during a couple of their make out sessions but neither have made a move. Emma had always believed that her first time would be on her wedding night, but since being with Killian it seems that she would experience a lot things much sooner than she originally planned.

"You are so beautiful." He whispers pulling back to lean his forehead against hers.

Emma blushes at his compliment and moves forward to kiss him again. His hands are resting on her waist his thumbs now drawing smooth circles on her hips. Emma moans as he shifts his still clothed hard member pressing against her centre, which is aching to be touched. She wants this. She needs this and she knows that when they finally come together, Killian will take care of her.

"We don't have a lot of time…" Killian mumbles as he trails wet kisses up her neck, before his lips land by her ear. "And when we take this next step it will not be in a bathroom."

Emma moans as his lips suck her ear lobe, nibbling gently. They'd made out many times before, but this was new and Emma finds that she doesn't want it to stop.

"Do you want me to stop?" Killian whispers in a husky tone.

"No." Emma replies as her legs wrap around his waist. "Gods no."

"Good."

Emma moans as he begins a trail of kisses down her neck towards her collarbone. He pushes her robes aside and begins to leave love-bites on her soft skin. Emma starts feeling hot and has a sudden want to take her clothes off… and Killian's. All worries about the exam disappear from her mind as Killian pulls back from her collarbone with a pop.

"As soon as you begin to feel uncomfortable princess let me know and I'll stop." He mumbles against her lips.

Emma sighs her understanding as Killian's hand begins to crawl down the front of her robes. She doesn't even flinch when he brushes her right breast. He keeps going lower and lower and Emma doesn't intend to stop him anytime soon. Then his hand is at the bottom of her robes and very slowly he begins to hitch them up, exposing her long golden legs.

"Gods Emma." He whispers with pure lust in his blue eyes. "You're bloody perfect."

Emma blushes, her robes now at her waist. She knows that if this had been anyone else she wouldn't have been comfortable with how far this was going.

And before she can grasp onto what he is doing, Emma lets out a loud gasp as his fingers brush over still clothed clit. Killian seems to be past the point of no return now as Emma has never seen his pupils so heavily dilated with lust.

"May I?" He pleads.

Emma nods and she shudders when his fingers push aside her underwear before finally making contact with the place she wants him most.

"Oh god." She moans as his thumb begins to rub circles on her bundle of nerves, sending pleasure shocks all throughout her entire body.

Killian leans his forehead against her shoulder his eyes shut as his fingers play with her most heat. Emma's fingers are tangled in his hair pulling and tugging as she gets closer to her climax and then his fingers are gone. She whimpers, opening her eyes sending him a frustrated glare and just as she is about to ask why he stopped, she feels one long digit enter her.

"Shit." She moans as his finger curls.

Killian chuckles as he moves his finger around inside of her and begins to slowly add a second.

"That feel good, Princess?" He asks as he slides his fingers in and out.

"Very good." She sighs as Killian continues to work his magic.

Killian smiles as he pumps his fingers in and out of her faster, drawing her closer and closer to her climax.

"Faster." She moans.

Killian happily obliges and increases his pace. His eyes are focused on Emma whose eyes are shut; her head swung back in pleasure and her hands still tugging on his hair. He feels her tighten around his fingers and with another brush to her g-spot she comes apart in his arms, her breathing heavy.

"Killian…"

"I was good wasn't I?" He chuckles as he rearranges her undergarments properly before pulling her robes back down.

"Do you want me to…" She blushes scarlet, "…return the favour?"

Killian places both of his hands on her reddened cheeks and smiles lovingly. "No. I don't expect you to do anything in return. It was to try and take your mind off things and help you relax…"

"I'm probably going to fail my exam now because I won't be able to stop thinking about that." Emma whispers, swatting Killian's chest as she sees the smug grin on his face. "That… that was the first time anyone has ever touched me down there. Neal tried… but I was only fifteen and I wasn't ready…"

Killian tucks a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and leans forward, pressing his lips against hers.

"Emma I will never force you into anything you are not ready for. All you have to do is tell me and I will stop. I believe in good form and I always want you to feel comfortable around me."

Emma smiles at him. "You are such a sap Killian, but if we can find somewhere, I think I…"

She is blushing again. Emma doesn't have to finish her sentence because Killian nods his head in an understanding. They both know if they can find some place where they wouldn't be disturbed and where they could have some alone time; they were both ready to take the next step.

…

Potions wasn't as bad as Emma had anticipated it to be. They simply had to make a Sleeping Draught which they had already made four times during the year. Most of the class seemed fairly relieved with their achievements as they head back to the Great Hall but when Emma joins Killian she notices that something is wrong instantly.

"What happened?" She asks stopping him from walking any further.

"I messed up." Killian mutters with an angry glint in his eye. "I forgot an ingredient and the Potion turned out completely wrong. I failed."

Emma shakes her head. "No. Professor Blanchard is fair. You will pass. One ingredient won't fail you."

Killian rolls his eyes. "Swan my father wants me to get outstanding in every subject. He'll be pissed if I get less than that."

Emma reaches out and clasps his hand tightly in hers. "Trust me… everything will be okay."

…

Care of Magical Creatures exam went better for Killian. They had to get a Hippogriff to trust them, pat the creature before riding it around the paddock. Killian managed to get the creature's trust first time around and the class watched in amazement as Killian rode effortlessly around the paddock. Emma on the other hand struggled a bit more. Her Hippogriff wouldn't bow back and Professor Lucas said she would have to try with another one called Buckbeak. Buckbeak took quite a liking to Emma and followed her around for the rest of the exam. He even tried to follow Emma back up to the castle.

"I seriously thought that the Hippogriff was going to attack you at first." Killian chuckles as he pulls Emma into his arms.

"You weren't the only one. When Lucas told me to back up, I don't think I've ever moved so quickly before…" Emma laughs in response.

"Well I think you have a new admirer. Buckbeak seems to have taken quite a liking to you." Killian prods her waist in a teasing manner.

"I like him too."

"Emma Swan how could you?" Killian mock-gasps in shock.

Emma rolls her eyes as they enter the castle. "So tomorrow we have Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts, then the day after Arithmancy for me."

"Well make sure you get some sleep tonight. I think we'll need it for Defense."

…

The next day Emma got through her Defense exam with flying colours. They had to tackle a Boggart again, and then had to fight the Imperious Curse, which Professor De Vil would attempt to place upon them. Killian had almost given into the curse but managed to fight back at the last second, though there were many in the class who couldn't defend themselves, and were hoping that their boggart defeat would give them the extra marks to pass.

Charms was the Patronus charm. Like always Killian effortlessly muttered the charm under his breath, before a large silver swan erupted from his wand and began to fly around the classroom. Mills smiled at him and gave him top marks; Emma in close second as her swan was just as bright and beautiful.

And by the next day when Emma finishes her Arithmancy exam she cheers with the rest of her classmates.

Killian meets her in the hall with a wide grin spread across his face. "Come with me."

Emma gives him a questioning look but slips her hand into his anyway. He gently pulls her up the staircase and onto the fifth floor.

"I found it earlier when I needed a bathroom." He blushes as he says this. "I found the Room of Requirements. It turns into whatever we require at that moment and only people who really need something can get it to reveal itself, so I would say its safe enough for us to use."

Emma watches as Killian halts in front of a brick wall and a few moments, a doorway appears. Killian steps forward, pushes the door open and beckons for Emma to enter, which she does. Once inside she gasps as Killian shuts the door behind them. The door slowly disappears until it is just a wall again.

"The door will reappear when we are ready to leave." Killian explains, but Emma isn't listening.

She is looking around. In front of them is a large soft bed with silk sheets.

"I thought that when we were finally ready we could come here." Killian murmurs taking her hand in his. "Not today but one day."

Emma smiles up at him. "Only you could find this."

And with that she kisses him.

…

"Thank god."

Emma cheers with the rest of the sixth year cohorts as the final exam paper is collected by Professor Hellar.

"We're exam free for a year!" Victor Whale happily shouts from somewhere at the front of the classroom.

Emma laughs as she gathers her quill and ink and places them in her small book bag. Beside her, Robin and Regina hug tightly both wearing matching smiles on their faces. Emma looks around for Killian and smiles when she sees him in conversation with David.

"Hey how do you think you went?" Mary Margaret asks as she comes to stand beside Emma.

"Good. What about you?" Emma responds as she turns to her best friend.

"Okay." Mary Margaret is looking at Killian and David though. "They look like they are becoming good matesas Killian would say."

Emma chuckles as David pats Killian on the shoulder. Robin joins them, Regina now with Greg and Tamara.

"So you one hundred percent believe that you and Killian will make it?" Mary Margaret asks as she turns to face Emma.

Very slowly Emma nods and smiles softly. "I do. He's been very good to me."

She tries not to blush at yesterday's antics in the bathroom but judging from Mary Margaret's shocked expression, Emma is fairly certain that her friend since their first year at Hogwarts has picked up on the fact that Emma and Killian have already reached a more intimate level in their relationship.

Within two minutes Killian and David have made their way over to the two of them and Emma's lips break out into a wide grin as Killian wraps his arms around her, spinning her in his arms. A few students laugh when Emma begs him to put her down and it is clear that the Slytherin is in a teasing mood.

"How should we celebrate?" Killian whispers in her ear.

"Hmm… well I planned a picnic down by our tree tomorrow at lunch. I thought we could get away from the crowds." Emma suggests as she and Killian walk out of the Great Hall hand in hand.

"Sounds lovely… but I was thinking we could explore the room of requirements once more."

The tree and lake suddenly sound less appealing.

…

"Miss Swan…" Professor De Vil calls from across the hallway. "May I please have a couple moments of your time?"

Emma turns away from Killian who is holding a picnic basket with them having been on their way to the fifth floor corridor.

"Yes Professor?" Emma asks as she stops in front of De Vil, thinking she is about to get told off.

And then De Vil gives Emma one her rare smiles. "Congratulations, Emma. You got a hundred and ten percent on you exam. Highest in the year for Defense Against the Dark Arts and maybe one of the highest marks I have ever seen in my time at Hogwarts."

Emma's eyes widen and a large smile blooms her face. "Thank you, professor."

"Also tell that boyfriend of yours he got the second highest. A hundred and five percent. Now go rub it in his face that you beat him. Good day, Miss Swan."

Emma remains frozen where she is for a few moments as De Vil walks away. It isn't until Killian awkwardly clears his throat behind her that she remembers where they were going.

"What was that about?"

Emma turns to face Killian smiling widely. "I got top marks in Defense."

A matching grin forms on Killian's face and he quickly places the basket on the floor, steps forward and pulls Emma into his arms, swinging her around a couple of times.

"I told you not to stress. I'm so proud of you. You are bloody brilliant." Killian laughs as he places a wet kiss to her cheek.

"And you got second highest so congratulations to you too."

He breathes a sigh of relief into her hair.

…

The door appears as soon as they stop in front of the wall. Emma feels her heart race as she and Killian enter the door once again disappearing behind them. Killian loosens his tie as he sets the picnic basket down on a rug which appears, before turning his attention to the large bed with red silken sheets covering it.

"You are looking at that bed as though it is the best bed you have ever seen in your life." Killian states rather nervously behind her.

Emma turns to face him and shrugs. "Before I came to Hogwarts I had a cupboard under the stairs and once my Hogwarts letter arrived, they Page's got paranoid that they would get into trouble for my sleeping arrangements so they let me have Lily's second bedroom, which came with an old mattress on the floor."

Killian feels his mood darken at the sound of Emma's mistreatment as a child.

"I'm sorry that you were treated that way, princess." He mumbles stepping forward and tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

Emma shrugs again. "Don't be. You didn't know me then. No one did. I try not to think about going back there. Especially now with all the problems going on between my aunt and uncle. I'm lucky that Mary Margaret's parents like me and are willing to host me for the entire holidays."

Killian chuckles and wraps his arms around her locking Emma in his warm, tight and protective embrace.

"Come let's eat."

The house Elves in the kitchen have given Killian a large variety of foods upon his request. Lamb cutlets, chips, steak, salad and even chicken wings, along with two bottles of butterbeer.

"Looks delicious." The smell of the food makes Emma's mouth water as she sits down on the blanket.

Killian follows her and in a true gentlemanly fashion, he plates her food and unscrews the cap off her butterbeer and repeats the same for himself.

"Cheers to another great year at Hogwarts." Killian smiles.

"Cheers." Emma taps her bottle against his, both taking a sip of their drink.

Their picnic passes in comfortable silence. Every so often they would talk about their past although only their happier memories as they didn't want it dampen the mood. Emma had always thought that Killian was lucky until this year. Of course she knew that his brother's death was extremely sad but other than that he had had a family, whilst she had spent most her childhood hiding from or being bullied by Lily, or locked in her cupboard (room) under the stairs.

After finishing their meal they pack their dishes back up into the picnic basket and make sure that they leave no mess. Killian doesn't fail to notice that Emma's breathing has picked up as she looks towards the bed before looking back to him.

"We don't have to…" Killian starts worried that Emma is suddenly having cold feet. "Like I said earlier, I will never do anything that makes you uncomfortable…."

"Shut up and kiss me." Emma replies before she leaps across the blanket and into his arms.

As surprised as he is at her sudden excitement he still catches her as she lands on top of him. He doesn't have chance to ask her if she is alright before her lips descend on his in a heated kiss. Killian returns the kiss with the same amount of passion.

"Bed." He growls as he lifts her carefully into his arms and places her gently down on the soft mattress.

Emma moans as she grants his tongue entrance into her mouth. His chest is now pressing down against hers and she can feel a bulge against her clothed thigh. Emma has never been with anyone in this way before. Neal had once gotten a hard-on and straight away Emma had felt uncomfortable but Neal's was nowhere near as big as Killian's, and Emma can tell he is going to be a tight fit.

"Like I said love, if you feel uncomfortable even for the tiniest moment, we're stopping." Killian whispers as he places a sweet kiss to her forehead.

"I won't. I lo….like you." She replies.

Killian's heart skips a beat at the almost I love you, but he doesn't push her.

"I like you too." He chuckles as his hands reach for her shirt, slowly hitching it up her stomach.

Emma's nervous eyes met his as he pulls the shirt over her head. It isn't because she is nervous about having sex; it is all her insecurities about not being enough for him.

"I know I don't have big boobs like Mi…"

Killian places his finger on her lips and shakes his head. "You are beautiful. Stunning. Milah has nothing on you. Do not be ashamed of anything with me. I accept you the way you are."

Emma knows that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to her. With that comment she feels her courage return and she reaches for his silk shirt slowly beginning to undo the expensive buttons that hold it together. She focuses on the buttons as she undoes them and once she tosses the shirt over her shoulder, she finally allows herself to look at him.

He had the body of a god, which she was not expecting. He has muscles and the thing that turns her on the most is the amount of chest hair that covers his chest leading into his pants towards his member.

"Does the hair creep you out lass?" He looks slightly embarrassed. "Milah didn't like it…"

"I'm not Milah." Emma replies both hands coming to rest on his cheeks. "I love it. I think it's manly and very sexy."

Killian raises his eye-brow. "You haven't seen sexy until you've seen my butt."

Emma giggles and pulls him in for another needy kiss. One of her hand's remain in his chest hair whilst the other moves to the back of his head, holding him to her. Killian begins a trail of wet kisses across to her ear and she shivers.

"I'm going to take your bra off, sweetheart. Don't be embarrassed."

Emma nods as he reaches behind her to unclasp her bra. Very slowly the flimsy material falls away from her breasts and Killian licks his lips. She is a goddess, sent from heaven to ruin him.

"How did I get so lucky?" He mumbles as he kisses her again, to remind himself that this is really happening. "You are a golden goddess."

Emma rolls her eyes, but his comment doesn't stop her from trying to remove his pants. Their shoes have already been tossed to the floor. Killian pulls back from her so he can slip out of his pants, leaving his silk boxer briefs in place.

"Shit…" She gasps staring at the very large bulge in his pants. "There's no way that's going to fit!"

Killian laughs. Emma Swan is the only person he knows who would say something so dorky in a moment like this.

"I'll be gentle, princess." Killian chuckles as he begins to pull down her slip on track suit bottoms, leaving Emma only wearing her matching lace panties.

"Gods…" Killian whispers as he trails his hand up her bare leg. "I was wrong about you being a goddess. You are a god damn siren leading a sailor to his death."

Emma blushes. "Don't lie."

"I'm not…"

He is silenced when Emma pulls him back down for a kiss. She caresses his tongue with hers before he finally pulls back and begins to work down her last remaining barrier. And then her panties are gone and for the first time in her life she is naked in front of a man. Killian then slips out of his boxers and Emma's eyes widen when they rest on his swollen member for the first time.

"You'd be like an x-large in condoms." Emma blurts out not thinking at all.

Killian stops what he is doing which happens to be crawling back up her body and he raises an eye-brow.

"What's a condom?" He asks.

"Condom." Emma blushes. "It's a piece of rubber that goes over a penis… to prevent the woman from getting pregnant… And they come in sizes, flavours, styles and…"

"You're absolutely adorable when you get flustered, darling." He chuckles. "One day you can show me a condom, but here in the Wizarding world we simply use contraceptive charms, which pretty much does the same except it kills the sperm before it reaches any eggs."

Killian trails off and they both look at one another, and burst out laughing. Emma is confident in that moment that they are the only two people in the world who would be having this conversation before losing their innocence to one another, or at least she is pretty sure he is a virgin.

"Killian… are you… did you and Milah ever…"

"No." Killian interrupts. "It never felt right."

Emma smiles brightly before pulling his lips to hers. Killian wastes no time in rubbing his fingers on her clit leading her to her first orgasm of the night. Very slowly he slides two fingers inside her as his thumb plays with her bundle of nerves. Emma moans as she feels the wetness pool where she is aroused. She knows her skin is turning pink from the pleasure she was receiving and Killian clearly doesn't mind as his fingers continue slipping in and out of her.

Emma is amazed that he manages to hold off her orgasm for a couple of minutes before he finally presses her g-spot, giving her the release she craves.

"Are you ready?" Killian asks as he reaches over for his wand.

Emma nods and watches as he presses his wand against her stomach, muttering an incantation. A warm fuzzy feeling courses through her and disappears as quickly as it started.

"There… you are protected from popping out any of my dashing children at seventeen." Killian chuckles.

Emma smiles nervously as he crawls back on top of her, making sure that his cock is aligned with her slick opening.

"It's going to hurt the first time." Emma mumbles. "Or so I've been told."

Killian places his hand on her cheek and gives her a comforting grin. "I promise to try and make it as painless as I can darling. You will feel a sharp pain and maybe a slight burning sensation as you adjust to my size."

Emma nods and keeps her eyes locked with his cornflower blue ones as he rests the tip of his cock against her entrance. She nods to let him know she is ready and very slowly he slides the tip into her entrance. Emma feels full but stares back determinedly, not wanting this moment to be anything less than perfect. With a gentle nod to Emma he pushes the rest of the way in.

She can feel tears springing from the corners of her eyes at the sharp pain. Killian looks like he wants to pull out of her, but Emma wraps her arms around him, holding him in place.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart." He whispers in her ear.

"It's okay." Emma says. "Just give me a minute."

A couple of minutes go by with Killian lodged inside of her not moving and Emma finally pats his back to let him know it is okay to move in and out. Killian happily obliges and his thrusts are smooth and gentle. Emma moans as she wraps her legs around his waist. Killian lips connect with hers, Emma's hand's now running up and down his back.

"Harder, please." She whispers.

"As you wish, princess." Killian mumbles against her lips before quickening his pace.

And after a few more thrusts they take flight together.

…

A week goes by in pure bliss. It is now three weeks until the holidays start and it begins to dawn on Emma and Killian that they won't have quiet moments to sneak away and make love. Mary Margaret knew instantly the night Emma returned to the Gryffindor tower that she and Killian had made love. Emma had never glowed so brightly before and a week later she still was.

Killian himself has just gathered his jacket as he and Emma were off to do their patrol together which probably also meant a few make out sessions behind metal knights.

"Stop."

Killian jumps and turns to see Milah leaning against a pillar in the Slytherin common room.

"What do you want?" Killian hisses.

Milah smirks. "I know about your bet, Killian."

Killian feels his heart freeze at Milah's words and he can see from the malicious glint in her eyes, he is definitely in trouble.

"Milah think very carefully how much damage you could cause…" Killian says in a rather calm tone considering how angry he was. "How did you find out?"

Milah scoffs. "Let's just say Greg and Tamara aren't exactly that smart. They were talking rather loudly in the common room a few months back. I'd been waiting until you feel the most happy you could before I decided to bring it to your attention."

Killian narrows his eyes. "You're going to tell her, aren't you?"

"No… you are. You are going to be the one that break's her heart." Milah chuckles. "And if you don't, I will make sure the entire school knows what a dick you are by morning. So run along Killian."

…

Emma sighs as she checks the time on her watch. Killian is almost twenty minutes late by the time he finally shows up.

"About time…" Her smile fades when she sees the broken expression on his face. "What's wrong?"

"Emma… we need to talk…"
