Fiasco
At ten to six o'clock the eight Sly warriors were waiting outside the Potions classroom, six of them crouching behind the statues, keeping an eye on the classroom door, and Paul and George on either side of it.
At five to six the door opened and students began to come out, seventh-year Defense Raves. (The fastest to finish.) Although they saw them, none of them greeted them or stopped. (They already know what we're waiting for.)
Shortly after, the two malefics did. (Huffles are slower. Wonderful.) Paul immediately closed the classroom door, and Sev, who had been hiding nearby, stepped forward to secure it with the spell of his invention, just as the other five filed out as well of their hiding places and surrounded the malefics, who had been left bewildered, with their backs to the door. (The surprise factor.)
Slow to react, they drew their wands, and immediately, before they were able to make any movement with them, Valerie and Brooke disarmed them, catching them in midair. (They don't belong to them anymore, this is a real duel, and they girls get the trophy.) Sev walked calmly around the group as Brooke Petrified the handsome one and the four guys began beating the other up.
He placed himself between Valerie and Brooke and gazed at the horrified grimace on the rapist's face with a defiant look of deep hatred. He concentrated, imagined him raping Cecile. (My friend, my piano teacher, the balm for my best friend's wounds, the one who saved my life.)
He threw the controlled Sectumsempra directly at the handsome man's face. Numerous medium-depth cuts appeared on it, which began to bleed immediately. The sight of the blood and what the boys were doing with the other sent them into a frenzy.
Brooke immediately cast the Petrificus counterspell on the wounded malefic and the four of them, him and the girls, began to beat him mercilessly with the spell Paul had taught them. They broke several teeth and bones of both.
After a quarter of an hour they were satisfied, they left them lying unconscious on the ground and headed home. Jack and Sev stayed last, the former reading and Oblivating them and the latter opening the Potions classroom door so Slughorn and the rest of the students could get out.
They arrived at the Common Room, there was still movement, so they calmly went to the table. Sev conjured the Muffliato around it and they celebrated in style, with a bottle of whiskey that had been left over from the party, laughing and showing camaraderie, while they planned in detail the next two interventions, more difficult, since they no longer would be by surprise.
(In the end we will have to leave for another occasion to give Brooke a review. A pity, because now she is really horny, she does not take her eyes off me and does not stop touching me. Maybe after dinner.)
Deborah and Sev had only one whiskey, the others two or three. (I want to be fresh for later, at dinner I'm going to get a scolding from the old man. It's already strange that he didn't send Slughorn to look for us to punish us, he's afraid we'll lynch him too. Poor Poppy has had a lot of work today.)
Before getting up to prepare for dinner, he leaned into Brooke and whispered in her ear, "If you want me to take away your hunger, go up to the fifth-grade bedroom after dinner, the bed next to the window. If I haven't arrived yet, wait for me."
"Hurry up, I'm not going to wait too long for you, if you don't arrive quickly I'll do it with Paul," she replied.
(So she gets demanding… I'm going to tone her down, I rule here.) "Then you will lose it. If you don't wait for me, forget about me."
He completely ignored her, bonded with Deborah and said, "Take Paul to the clearing after dinner to give him his first Occlumency lesson, otherwise Brooke is going to steal him from you."
"Thank you, Prince, for the warning. Don't get too involved with her, I think that she is a vamp," Deborah advised.
"Yeah, I've already noticed, I've offered myself and she's got demanding. Try to draw Paul out about her, I get the impression that they've already been together."
"Okay, Prince, I'll do it, so I'll build trust with him."
"We'll meet here after dinner and the three of us talk for a moment, so that I can explain to him about the summer escort," he said.
"Great, I'll tell him."
Sev said goodbye and went up to his bedroom, to change clothes to go to dinner. As soon as they sat down at the table, the Headmaster projected to him, "How you have overdone!" recriminatory. "It has gotten out of hand."
"What did you expect, Albus?" in a bad way. "That we were going to caress them? I have read the handsome man while I was beating him and I have discovered that he is a rapist."
"Yeah, I already knew," neutral.
(What a nerve not telling us anything.) "My, man!" exasperated. "It was him you read to on Saturday, right?"
"Yes." The old man was frightened.
(I've already brought him down, I've got him under control, he won't force me to become a Death Eater. We already have a spy, Lucius. I'll be the link, and that way he'll continue to protect me.) "Then we have done justice," almost furious. "Tomorrow it's the Gryffs' turn and on Wednesday the sixth-year's. Don't get involved," authoritarian. "Have they told on us?"
"No, but we had to send them to St. Mungo's."
(Take that! They don't come back anymore. And I'm going to tell him what he has to do. His characteristic, uncertainty.) "I'm very happy," Sev said vehemently. "If they dare to come back, be interested in them and read them again, to see if they have changed their plans. Two birds with one stone."
"I hope the Ministry does not intervene," fearful.
"If they haven't told you, even less will they tell the Aurors, who can read them and discover them," neutral.
"You're right. Maybe they won't even come back to school anymore," said Dumbledore recovering his poise.
"Better, one less worry," satisfied.
(Then maybe they'll become Death Eaters earlier, but now they don't have anything to tell on, we have read them after the Obliviate and it turned out well. And if they don't come back they won't be able to gather information again, great. Let's see if we expel too the sixth-year and we'll be out of trouble for next year. Albus still hasn't told me about their plans after graduation. He's waiting for tomorrow to have a meeting with Lily and me, both of us at the same time, which is why he made an appointment for three hours, so that the tense situation of Saturday at lunch does not happen again.)
Sev chatted with Lily and Lauren, telling them about the lynching, and the three of them went into a frenzy. (I'm sure Lauren is meeting Jack tonight. I feel sorry for Lily, that she doesn't have anyone to do it with. By now I'd be glad she did, too, that she didn't depend so much on me in that regard, because even when finally we can be together, I'm going to have to divide myself. I'm sure she'll do it alone, it'll do her good, to relieve the tension of all these days.)
As they finished eating and left the Great Hall, he noticed that Brooke was no longer at the table with the group of seventh-graders she used to sit with. Paul was there and got up after them. (Paul is coming with us because Deborah has a appointment with him, and Brooke is already waiting for me, I've calmed her down. Well, I'm going to make her wait, what does she think?)
They got home and the three of them sat in his corner, Deborah to his right, Paul across from her. Sev conjured the Muffliato and spoke to him, "Has Deborah told you what we're meeting for?"
"She hasn't."
(Okay, she leaves the beginning of the relationship up to me.) "As you can understand, I am going to be at maximum risk outside of school, in the summer and subsequent vacations, and I am still a minor."
"You're going to need an escort outside too," Paul deduced.
"That is."
"I know what you want to propose to me. That I am part of it."
"Yeah. Are you willing?" Sev asked.
"Of course, and very proud that you count on me. At your entire disposal."
"Thank you very much, Paul, but it will require an extra effort fifteen days before the exams."
"Which?" the older boy asked.
"You must learn Occlumency in less than a month."
"Well, what a problem. I'm sure I'll learn in a week."
(So am I. Absolutely sure of himself, he knows himself well. And completely sober despite having drunk two whiskeys,) Sev thought. "Can you start right now?"
"I am wishing it."
"Then Deborah is going to take you to learn in the Forest, from now until curfew."
"Delighted."
(He's said it looking at her, smiling and softening his tone. He likes her a lot, that's good. So she also has someone besides me.)
"Valerie and Andrew are also learning, with Jack," said Sev.
"Wonderful."
"You will have to divide the time." And to her, "Deborah, take care of organizing the days with him."
"I've already done it, Prince," she told him. "He told me that he wasn't going to take them today."
(Efficient to the max,) Sev thought. (And of course, Jack doesn't put that much effort into it, he's going to be in the Library waiting for Lauren to project to him.) "I'll take care of telling him to take them tomorrow."
"Great."
(If the three of them learn at the same time, the five of us will go to the fir tree. That way I don't have to make two trips and Deborah can also do a joint ritual with Paul.) "Well, that's all for now. Leave now, you have almost a quarter of an hour to get there. Do you know how to unward the Pensieve, Deborah?"
"Of course Prince."
"Yeah, what a stupid question. See you tomorrow, I'm going to bed. Don't stay up late, Deborah, you've been awake for over twenty hours. Are you tired?" (Let Paul know the sacrifice she is making and appreciate her more.)
"Don't worry Prince. I'll resist."
"See you tomorrow then."
She spoke to him bonded, "Enjoy it."
"And you."
The three of them got up and Sev went to his bedroom. Jack and Anthony had already left and the curtains on his bed were drawn. Brooke is in there, she got there before Jack and Anthony stopped by here and she stayed there while they packed up to go to the Library. I don't know if I feel like being with her too much anymore, I'm not horny at all, so I'm going to take it very carefully. For the moment I'll take my time to go to the bathroom.
He did, and then he went back to his bedside and undressed standing, down to his underwear. He asked, "Brooke, are you there?"
"Of course I'm here, Prince," in a bad way. "How long you have taken, I was already tempted to leave."
Ugh… I waited for Lily for more than six years, Lauren for me for more than four, Deborah three months without doing it having a boyfriend, and this one gets impatient for a quarter of an hour. I'm not going to do it with her, I rushed before knowing her well. You'll see how I cut her. "Then leave right now," neutral. "I have lost the desire to do it with you."
"What a nerve, Prince," she said, furious, opening the curtain on his side of the bed, she was also in her underwear. "You've been making me horny all day and now you leave me wanting."
He turned so as not to see her. I'm going to try to make peace, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we have an operation together. "I'm so sorry, Brooke. I'm not liking how you treat me, and so I don't get horny. By now you should understand that I have a lot to do. I barely made you wait a quarter of an hour, having been awake for more than twenty hours."
She was silent for almost a minute. She is repenting, looking at me from behind and realizing what she just missed, because I was already going to get into bed with her without clothes. Let's see how she tries to fix it.
Brooke finally spoke, "I'm sorry, Prince," kind and sad. "Maybe another time."
She's almost crying. I'm going to comfort her, to strengthen ties. He turned. She was sitting up in bed, her eyes misty. He looked into her eyes and held out his hand, she gave it to him. He spoke to her sweetly, "Come on, Brooke, don't be sad, it was largely my fault, for provoking you without knowing you well. I am very selective, I don't get involved with any one, I have to like the person a lot and with you I have rushed. Get up and give me a hug."
She did and hugged him very tight. He to her too.
"You can stay a while and we cuddle, but I don't feel like doing anything else, and I need to go to bed early and alone," Sev told her.
"Alright."
They got into bed together and he spent half an hour holding her and giving her tender kisses, without speaking again. When she said goodbye to leave, told him, "How sweet you are, I didn't imagine you like that at all."
Another one trying to get affection through sex. How many are already there? "I also know how to be very dirty if I get. Maybe if we improve our relationship I'll let you check it out one day."
"Yes, maybe some day."
She got dressed and left. Sev fell asleep thinking. I have to be much more careful about provoking any woman I am physically attracted to. I didn't like Deborah in that aspect, I never noticed her, and she has turned out to be a suitable person for me, and for that very reason, I want her very much.
Brooke has attracted me physically and I have given her wings confident in the attraction that I aroused in her, hardly knowing her, and it has been a real fiasco. It has gone to my head women like me so much, I am stopping being selective and I do not settle for any thing. I have to moderate in that aspect.
At least, in the end, it looks like we've fixed it. I have had the opportunity to give love to a person who needed it very much, I have strengthened ties with her and she is not going to bother me again, she will wait for me to propose. And I will only do it, if I do, when I get to know her better.
And she must have also wondered a lot about herself and her relationships after my rejection and how I treated her despite not wanting to do it to her. She has spent all that half hour reflecting, maybe in this little while I have changed her life too. How good, opportunities to do it daily, how much good I am doing, just being who I am.
