It was a grey and rainy Sunday morning in November and Astoria was looking out her bedroom window, waiting for Abigail to arrive. Time was dwindling for Abigail to return back to America but they had been talking about plans for Abigail to stay in the U.K. on a more permanent basis. But still it was sad to think that for at least a little while she was be spending most of her time alone again.
She had never heard from Draco Malfoy after his gathering. Guess their talk was just that: talk. Pity, she thought. She had actually got herself excited over the prospect of having a new friend, even if it was Draco, of all people.
She heard the front door being unlocked and opened as Abigail came inside. Astoria had got her a key after awhile. She spent most of her time their now. No reason she shouldn't have a key.
Astoria hopped off the bed and went in the living room. Abigail was wearing a purple tank top and blue jeans. She had finally got her hair cut short again and it was back to just being blonde. Astoria walked to her and hugged her tightly then kissed her sweetly.
"So what do you want to watch?" Astoria asked.
Abigail reached into her bag and pulled out a dvd and said, "Shrek! It just came out on video last week."
Watching movies together was most of what they did. After all these months Astoria still hadn't figured out how to raise the topic of sex. But as they lay on her bed watching Shrek, their bodies right next to each other she realized she didn't want to wait any longer.
The movie finished and the credits had ended. Astoria had enjoyed the movie a lot more than she had expected. She was also curious about the song "Hallelujah" that played in the film. Abigail got very excited and told her that while this version was by Rufus Wainwright the original version was by Leonard Cohen and she was a big fan of his. Astoria promised to give him a try.
She wondered if Abigail would be into Celestina Warbeck or Lorcan d'Eath. Might be best to avoid playing her Lorcan as his music sometimes had unexpected effects.
Once the excitement over the film had died down they were just lying in her bed and Astoria leaned over and kissed Abigail. She couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to have sex with her. As her lips moved against Abigail's she hoped that Abigail could feel this time was different; that her desires were for more than kisses.
Astoria put a hand on Abigail's thigh then moved around to cup her bottom. She then pulled Abigail to her and Abigail made a happy sound then laughed and pulled her mouth off Astoria's.
"It's about damn time," Abigail said.
"Huh?" Astoria said.
"You want to have sex right? I wasn't sure if you did so I was afraid to make the first move but… this is it right?" Abigail asked.
"Yes," Astoria said. "It is. Though… I'm not sure how we get started. What we're supposed to do? I mean… I know what to do. I just don't know how we get there." Abigail laughed.
"What do you want to do?" Abigail asked.
"Cunnilingus. On you I mean. I want to give you an orgasm," Astoria said.
Abigail burst into laughter.
"I'm in favor of that. Though, I wouldn't mind if you got to come too," Abigail said.
Astoria could feel herself blushing and covered her face with her hands. Abigail pulled her hands away and kissed her mouth deeply. Astoria reached down and rubbed between Abigail's legs, over her jeans. Abigail stopped kissing her again.
"We should take our clothes off," Abigail said and hopped off the bed.
"Oh, right," Astoria said and also got off the bed and quickly removed her shirt and trousers. She hesitated when she got to her bra and knickers but quickly gained the courage.
For a moment, they just stared at each others bodies and smiled. It was almost strange that they hadn't seen each other nude before now.
"Okay," Abigail said and hopped back on the bed.
Astoria climbed on the bed and immediately went between Abigail's legs. She had read a great deal about cunnilingus but she wasn't sure if that would translate. She'd certainly touched her own clitoris a great many times.
Astoria looked up at Abigail and said, "Are you ready Abby?"
Abigail smiled and said, "Gosh, I hope so."
Astoria moved her face right over Abigail's pubic mound. Her pubic hair was lighter and softer than her own dark and curly hairs. She put a hand on her and rubbed the hair softly.
As she touched the hair she wondered if this was the wrong order of events. Maybe she wasn't supposed to be down between her legs yet. Was she supposed to work her way down? Well, what was the bloody point in that?
Astoria slid her hand down to Abigail's labia gently rubbed them. She then pulled them apart with both hands, exposing the pink flesh beneath. She supposed her parts look sort of like hers. Not exactly. Her inner labia seemed a little smaller and her the tone of her flesh a little lighter. But the parts were all the same.
She moved her fingers to her clitoral hood and rubbed there softly. Abigail let out a quiet, "Mmm." Good, Astoria thought. Touching the clitoris seemed a reliable way of making a person feel good, assuming they had one.
Astoria then lowered her mouth to Abigail's clitoris and extended her tongue which she then used to lick from below then up her clitoris. "Oh!" Abigail called out and Astoria smiled. Another win.
She then began to lightly flick at Abby's clitoris in a steady motion. She had heard this felt good for people with clitorises and could lead to orgasm. Oh, she knew all about how good orgasms felt. She'd been masturbating every since she realized it was a thing you could do. She definitely wanted to give one of those to Abigail.
Astoria licked in as steady and constant of a rate as she could manage. Based on Abigail's face and the sounds she was making she assumed she was doing a good job.
"Will you finger me?" Abigail asked, suddenly.
Astoria nodded and said, "Okay!"
She then took two fingers and tried to slid them inside of her. She was very wet but it felt a bit tight and Abigail said, "Ow! No. Just one finger."
"Sorry," Astoria said and instead tried one finger. It was still a bit snug but she was able to slide it inside. She then moved it slowly in and out. She then began to lick her clitoris again. Steadily, she began to lick harder and faster as she also increased the speed at which her finger moved in and out of her.
Abigail had grabbed her breasts and was moaning loudly. Astoria realized that between her legs she was aching badly and feeling warm and damp. Pleasing Abigail was so satisfying. If she'd had another hand she might have reached down to touch herself but currently her hands were occupied.
Suddenly, Abigail said, "Astoria can we try something else? I had… an idea."
"Sure," Astoria said and looked up at Abigail.
"What if… what if I sat on your face?" Abigail asked with a devilish grin.
"Oh! Okay!" Astoria said then climbed up the bed and plopped the back of her head on a pillow.
Abigail crouched over Astoria's body and Astoria slid herself down a bit more. She'd never thought to do it this way but clearly Abigail had. She seemed gleeful as she positioned her vulva over Astoria's mouth and lowered herself.
"Don't be afraid to dive right in, Astoria. Please," Abigail said.
Astoria put her mouth on Abigail's clitoris and sucked on it then began lapping at it furiously.
"Oh God that feels fucking good. Suck my clit again," Abigail said, urgency in her tone.
Astoria pushed her mouth against her clit as hard as she could and sucked. Abigail moaned loudly and Astoria could feel that she was soaking wet between her own legs. She couldn't imagine a more wonderful sound than Abigail moaning from the pleasure she was causing.
Abigail leaned forward so that her vulva was perfectly aligned with Astoria's mouth and began to rock her pelvis, effectively riding Astoria's face. Astoria rocked her head and licked at her clitoris wildly.
"Fuck, that's so good. Mmmm. Don't stop," Abigail said. Astoria had no such intentions.
Astoria continued to lap at Abigail's clit while Abigail ground into her mouth and let out periodic moans and groans which were only getting louder.
"Ohhhhhh, God. I'm gonna come! Fucckkkk," Abigail called out, her voice strained as her body spasmed and jerked with orgasm. Astoria felt pleased with herself, though she certainly hadn't done all the work.
Abigail lowered her body and slid back down and kissed Astoria on the face. Astoria realized as she did that her mouth, chin and her cheeks were covered in a mixture of her saliva and Abigail's vaginal juices. Abigail didn't seem to care.
"Hmm. How did you like me fucking your face?" Abigail asked. Astoria was shocked to her Abigail talk like this but it kind of turned her on.
"It was great," Astoria said.
Abigail slide and hand between them and then slid her fingers down Astoria's slit and rubbed her clitoris.
Astoria let out a moan. Oh, that felt good. It was even better than when she touched herself. Abigail kissed Astoria passionately while her fingers went to work below.
Despite having never had sex somehow she had found a natural role at taking control. Astoria realized it was like she was the conductor and they were both in the band. Astoria felt comfortable letting Abigail take control.
Abigail began to kiss down Astoria's neck and lower herself down her body. She stopped at her breasts and sucked lightly on each of her nipples. Astoria gasped then moaned in approval so Abigail sucked hard. It felt great and Astoria got shivers when she thought of Abigail's mouth between her legs. She thrust her pelvis upwards to indicate that she was ready for the next step.
Abigail progressed down Astoria's body and quickly arrived at here now very swollen and wet flesh. Astoria wasn't sure if she had ever been this aroused before. She wanted so bad for Abigail to touch her but instead she just hovered. Then she lowered her face in gave a long lick right to her clitoris that sent a shock through Astoria's body. Abigail winked at Astoria then began to lick at her with glee.
Astoria knew immediately it wouldn't take her long to orgasm like this. She could feel the tension rising rapidly. Every single touch, every flick of her tongue sent a shock of pleasure through her. Just looking down and seeing her face buried in her flesh made her want to come.
She tried to hold her body still but it was no use. It felt so good and she was barely even aware of all the sounds she was making as Abigail began to suck hard on her clit. Astoria pushed her pelvis up urging her on.
Abigail then stopped and sucked on a finger and slid it inside Astoria with ease. Abigail then began to move in and out but she was angling her finger up a little and to Astoria's surprise this felt very nice. She had read about the G-spot but she wasn't sure what it was exactly but whatever it was it felt nice.
Abigail's tongue was moving very fast and her finger worked with diligence inside of Astoria. Every inch of Astoria's body felt tense and she felt herself teetering on an edge and then she felt herself lose control of her body as pleasure ripped through her. She was aware that she was making loud vocalizations and she was certain her limbs were flailing but she couldn't focus on any one thing at the moment. She'd had orgasms but never like this.
She was also vague aware of a knocking sound but paid it no mind.
"Astoria!" Abigail said. "The door."
"Huh?" Astoria said. "Oh. Shit. Now?"
Still feeling weak and euphoric Astoria desperately tried to get on clothes as she shouted, "Coming," then laughed because she just had.
Finally, she arrived at the door and unlatched and unlocked it and opened it to find a pale young man with white-blonde hair standing at the door wearing a grey suit. It was clearly Muggle made. He looked nice, she thought.
"Draco?" Astoria said. She had a small moment of panic as she realized she probably smelled like sex but she reminded herself there was nothing shameful about that and moved on.
"Yeah, hi, Astoria. Can I come in?" Draco asked.
"Sure," Astoria said.
Abigail walked out of the bedroom and smiled and waved at Draco, not making eye contact but still looking over in his direction, before going into the kitchen probably to find something to eat.
"I'm sorry… Sorry that I didn't come by before now… or that I didn't let you know I was coming. I just… I've had a rough few weeks," Draco said. Astoria could tell. He looked like he'd barely slept.
"Oh?" Astoria said.
"Yeah, I've just moved out of the manor. Actually… I'm living in this building now. Umm… right across the hall actually," Draco said.
"Really?" Astoria said. "Why?"
"Well… I just want to get away from my parents and their friends. And you seemed sort of happy being around all these Muggles," Draco said. When he said the word Muggles there was a definite negative inflection but Astoria chose to ignore it. She hoped Abigail hadn't noticed.
"Is that all? You didn't have to move across the hall from me for that?" Astoria asked, feeling confused.
"I meant what I said about wanting friends. I don't have any now. Pansy…" Draco trailed off but then finished, "Pansy and I aren't friends now."
"Oh? I'm sorry," Astoria said. She was sorry, for both of them strangely enough.
Astoria looked back at Abigail who was busy making herself food then turned to Draco and said, "Will you come outside with me? Short walk?"
"Okay," Draco said and Astoria stood up, grabbed a coat and an umbrella and went out the front door to her apartment then down the hall and down the stairs that led to the building's exit.
Things were fairly quiet outside, minus the rain. For awhile they just walked down the sidewalk in silence.
"So what do you enjoy, Draco? What does Draco Malfoy do for fun?" Astoria asked.
"Hmm. I read a lot. I like birds," Draco said.
"Birds? How interesting. If you like books I advise that you do not go to Black Books. The owner is a real arsehole," Astoria said.
"I'll keep it in mind," Draco said.
"Don't suppose you've ever seen any Muggle films?" Astoria asked.
"Muggle what?" Draco replied.
"Films. They're wizard paintings that tell a story. They're brilliant! Abigail introduced me to them. We were talking about going to see a movie called Amelie this week. You'd be welcome to join us. It's French!" Astoria said.
"What's it about?" Draco said.
"I think it's a comedy? Or maybe a love story. Could be both actually. Abby knows," Astoria said.
Astoria turned to look at Draco. For a moment he looked like he was prepared to say something negative but instead he smiled and said, "Sure. I could use a laugh."
The rain had stopped so Astoria closed the umbrella. They had walked a good ways from their apartment building. All around them the streets of London were filled with Muggles. They were walking on the sidewalks and driving their cars. Working in shops. Astoria supposed there were probably some other wizards among them but she realized that you couldn't really tell. They were all still human.
Draco stood still and looked around. Astoria saw for the first time that there was something that looked like hope on his face. Beneath whatever pain he was holding onto there was the possibility of happiness.
"Are you going to be all right, Draco Malfoy?" Astoria asked.
As Draco turned to her smiling, he brushed his hair out of his grey eyes and she realized for the first time how handsome he was.
"I certainly hope so. There are a lot of Muggles here, though," Draco said.
"Yes. Yes there are. Amazing isn't it? We don't have anything like this. There aren't enough of us. Even Diagon Alley never gets this busy," Astoria said.
"Yes. I suppose," Draco said.
"Why do we hate them, Draco?" Astoria asked. "What is it we feel we have to fear?"
Draco went silent and looked down at the ground, obviously deep in thought.
"I don't know," Draco admitted. "They're different, I guess."
"We're all different. Different from each other. Different than we once were. Different from what we will be," Astoria said.
Draco nodded.
"Let's go back to our building, shall we?" Astoria said. She had to admit that just being around so many people for this long was wearing thin. She needed to be back indoors and alone or with Abigail.
"Okay," Draco said.
"I'm serious about that film! It could be a laugh!" Astoria said.
"Yes, I'm laughing already," Draco said.
Astoria nudged Draco with her elbow and he did in fact laugh. Yes, the boy could use a good laugh.
