Transgression
Sev proposed to his family that they accompany him to play the piano after dinner. Deborah, Valerie, Andrew and Jack signed up. Great, Jack is reconnecting with me through Valerie and Andrew.
Deborah also proposed, "Shall we invite Paul as well?"
"Of course, Deborah. I already warn him when passing by, he sits on our side of the table."
They got up and Sev told Paul, who got up immediately, since he didn't have dessert either but waited for his seventh year group to finish.
They went home. (Too bad Paul is graduating already. I have to suggest that Deborah be with him if she feels like it, everything I told her about not wanting anyone else to touch her while she waited for me doesn't seem right anymore. I'll tell her that today, I'm going to propose that she sleep with me, just sleep.)
Sev went up to his bedroom for his Muggle notebook and pen and the package for Violet. When he came down, everyone was waiting for him. "To the Room of Requirement, to the Piano Classroom, through the passageway."
They went there. Before exiting the passage, Sev consulted the Map so that no one would catch them entering the Room. There was a free way, so they went to the door, demanded all at once and entered.
As soon as the door closed, Valerie said to him, "First of all, tell us how you have managed to make your harassers your friends now. You are amazing. Irresistible!"
They all laughed, Andrew heartily. (Andrew is delighted that Valerie likes me, he's going to let her be with me, they've already talked it over. I'll talk to Deborah about that tonight too, maybe she knows something.) "Give me a hug, Valerie."
They hugged, long, long. (We had only embraced that day of the hundred hugs. How we both wanted to do it.) There were chairs for everyone, Summoned two nights before by Paul, and the others had already taken seats, leaving two together for them. They sat down too. Valerie took his hand and they held that way while Sev explained part of his talk with Potter and Black.
When he told them that Black regretted not being Sly, Paul exclaimed, "Let him be part of the Silver-Green!"
"That would be nice, but I suspect Potter wouldn't be so into the idea, and they'll want to be together, it's better if they form a squad around them," Sev replied. "Besides, I doubt they're as good at cursing as we are, they're very emotional, both of them."
"I'm emotional too and I can't wait to cast curses," Valerie said.
"But you're Sly."
"But Black could have been."
"Yes, he has certain Sly traits, but he has been with the Gryffs for five years, that personality predominates," said Sev.
"And he doesn't have a girlfriend, does he?"
They all laughed. (Ugh… Valerie is already launched, she likes Sirius too, she already wants him for herself. And now that Andrew leaves her, she doesn't cut a hair, she's going to be a real whirlwind.) "How many do you need, Valerie?"
"Everyone who gets within range. I have one year of school left, I have to take advantage of it, live to the fullest, then comes the war," she answered.
They all laughed again. (Her horoscope trait, live life.)
"Andrew, will you let me give her a kiss?" Sev asked.
"I don't have to give you permission, if she wants to do it, go ahead," Andrew replied.
"Give me a kiss, Valerie."
"Okay, but a real one," Valerie said vehemently.
"Of course, whatever you want."
They kissed one of the good ones in front the other four, who after thirty seconds began to laugh, but they did not separate until two minutes later. (This that is happening is only possible between Slys, another way to break the rules, the conventions, Valerie and Andrew still do not know the Magic of the Moon. And another of Valerie's traits, she loves to be the center of attention. And she has already made me horny…) He broke away.
"How you kiss, Prince!" she exclaimed. "Now I understand that Deborah has a crush on you! You have made me horny! When are you going to do it with me?"
They all laughed.
"I'm very busy, Valerie, but I promise we'll be together before term ends. Don't expect much, I haven't premiered yet and I'm reserving myself for Lily."
"Well, well… what does that matter? Deborah has told me that you are quite an artist."
They all laughed again. (What a shame, luckily I'm with people I trust. Jack must be hallucinating, may he learn.) "Stop it, Valerie, my stomach hurts from laughing so much."
"That's very good…" emphatically. "We have to laugh as much as we can, and cry… and get excited… that's living…"
"How wise you are, Valerie. How much I am learning from you."
She squeezed his hand. He also hers. "And I from you, Prince," with deep feeling. "You are wonderful."
She caressed his face, removing his locks, very sweetly, looking into his eyes with great tenderness. (Lauren told me yesterday that she knows my story, she is healing me.) "Thank you, Valerie, you are too."
A couple of minutes passed like this, the others were silent. (Everyone knows, I'm about to cry. I smell that they already had all this planned, they talked about it in the living room while I went up to the bedroom.)
"Cry, Prince…" she told him softly. "I hug you."
Sev cried and Valerie hugged him, they clung to each other. Five minutes passed like this before he calmed down. No one spoke in all that time. When Valerie broke away from him, it was she herself who wiped the tears from his face, caressing and kissing him. When he separated from her he looked at her, she had also cried. He looked at the others, they had all done it, and they were holding hands.
"Ugh… I made you all cry," said Sev.
Valerie stroked him again and talked to him, turning his face to hers, to meet his eyes again. "That's very good, Prince…" very sweetly. "Laugh and cry together. Joy multiplies and sorrow is divided, it becomes more bearable. We have a lot left to cry, a whole war ahead, we should not be alone to do it."
(Oh… And maybe she, until now, has only had Andrew, and she needs a lot more people, to show herself as she is without carrying that weight on one person.)
"Will you also get me a date with Black before the end of the term?" she asked him.
They laughed again, heartily. (How she's downplayed the issue, she's wonderful.) "Of course, Valerie."
"In case you have too tight a schedule."
They laughed again.
"You're the bomb, Valerie. I adore you, give me another kiss."
They kissed again, this time it was shorter and no one laughed. It was she who separated from him and said, "We'll leave it now, I'm addicted and I can't stand the urge." And to Andrew. "Tonight you're going to pay for it, Andrew, Prince has turned me on and you're going to take the prize."
They laughed again, a lot. (How I like my House, this would be impossible in any other, we do not respect anything.)
"Have you become horny, Prince?" she asked him.
They laughed again. (Ugh… how embarrassing. I did turn on before, but not now, after crying, and if I say I didn't, I will offend her.) "What do you think, Valerie?"
"That you have. Do you let me check it?"
They laughed again, a lot. (Ugh… she's already crossing the line. I don't like this anymore.)
"I was kidding, I was kidding, I'm not going to harass you, but I'm worried that you got horny and don't do it with anyone today," Valerie continued.
(Okay... that's why, so as not to leave me wanting, she told me like that to make us laugh a little more. I'm going to free her from the burden, let her do it with Andrew, I don't feel like it today, I've done twice this morning with Lauren.) "Don't worry Valerie. I'm exhausted, I have to reserve energy. Tomorrow I have three hours of Time Turner with the old man."
"Sure…"
(Understanding, not sad or disappointed. What Lauren told me yesterday, they live to take care of me, so that I don't lack anything, at my entire disposal. Everything I want, protection, company, food, affection, sex, whatever. Will I be able to repay them one day? Yes, avoiding more tears, keeping them alive at all costs. I'm about to cry again.) "I'll sleep with Deborah, if she feels like it." And to her, "Do you feel like it, Deborah?"
"Of course, Prince," Deborah replied.
(Right away, even though she knows I'm not going to do it with her.)
"Very well, I'll stay calmer," Valerie told him. "Sleep with us whenever you feel like being accompanied, even if you don't want to do anything else, let yourself be loved."
(What has been said, whatever I want.) "Okay, Valerie. This week I'll sleep with you without fail."
"Excellent! Come on, keep telling us."
He told them everything Black had told him about his relationship with his family. He concluded, "I admire him very, very much. What he has had to put up with all these years."
"Indeed," Andrew said.
"You have to introduce him to us, Prince," Paul said.
"Of course, I will do it in the next training session that he comes," Sev proposed. "I'll let you know and we'll all wait for him at the door, you're going to make him feel proud that the Slys pay attention to him."
"Wow… I'm getting hornier more and more," Valerie exclaimed. "If I give him a snog right there you're not going to get jealous, right, Prince?"
They laughed. (She already does her thing again, taking advantage of the slightest opportunity. She's not really like that, she does it to make us laugh. And she doesn't even ask Andrew anymore. I'm going to play along.) "Of course not, Valerie."
"It is no longer necessary that you fix the date for me, I'll fix it myself."
They laughed again.
"Alright," Sev agreed.
"The bad thing is that it is going to catch us in the exams."
"Yeah."
"It doesn't matter. If he comes on Saturday, that same day I'll shag him," Valerie said.
They laughed. (Total irreverence, how I love being Sly. This would be impossible in any other House.)
"You know, Andrew, next Saturday you're going to go hungry," she continued.
They laughed again. (Poor Andrew, all at his expense, she doesn't mess with me.)
"It doesn't matter, I'll leave you well served on Friday so you don't get too excited about Black," Andrew replied.
They laughed again. (Andrew knows how to respond to her, he sure knows how to play along with her. I have to learn, it's a lot of fun. Let's see what she responds to.)
"That's what you want, but it's going to hallucinate me anyway. Variety is the taste, isn't it, Prince?"
They laughed again. (I can't think of what to say funny. Oh, I know.) "If I leave you well served, you'll lose the desire for Black," Sev said. "I'll destroy you."
They burst into even louder laughter.
"We'll do the test on Friday, Prince," she said, and to Andrew, "You know, Andrew, to starve for two days."
They laughed again. (She's not running out of ideas, she's so good.)
When the laughter subsided, Valerie told him, "Come on, continue."
Sev told them how he had warned Black and Potter about Pettigrew and the strategy to follow, without telling them about Clairvoyance.
"Ugh…" Jack told him. "You've put us all at risk for them."
(This is the first time he has opened his mouth and it was to reproach me for something. Valerie and Andrew don't know about the Mirror either and they don't say anything, they understand that I needed to reconcile with my enemies.)
Paul spoke, hard and sharp, "He has done very well. The Gryffs who read are going to have them under control. They deserve just as much as we do to prepare for war, you've heard how sorry they are and what good warriors they are. Prince knows what he's doing, unlike you. A week ago he was almost killed because of you, he was saved thanks to the Map of his enemies. He owed them, he just explained everything to us."
(Take that cut!) Sev thought. (It is not even necessary for me to put him in his place anymore, even from that burden I am released. Jack does not respond. Embarrassed.)
"Is it clear to you?" Paul asked, in the same tone.
"Yeah, yeah," Jack replied.
"Well, learn to think things through before speaking." And kindly, "Go on, Prince, please."
He didn't tell them anything about them being Animagi, but he did tell them about the Patronuses.
"Can you make three different Patronuses?" Valerie asked, very excited.
"Yeah. In addition, they are twins of those of three people," Sev replied.
"What are you saying?" with tremendous astonishment.
"What you are hearing, and not only that, if we do them at the same time, they play."
"Booaaah… Is one of them with Deborah?" Valerie asked.
"It is."
"Do them, please… I want to see it."
"There isn't much space here," Sev said.
"Let's move the chairs."
"Sure, we move the chairs," Andrew said.
(Always ready to please Valerie.)
They moved the chairs to the side of the piano and made them in the space behind it. The wolves played.
"Oh… how cute… Why aren't yours and mine twins, Andrew? I want…" said Valerie very sad.
"Don't suffer, Valerie," Andrew told her, sweet and patient. "Maybe when you get involved with Prince he'll have a fourth one with you, a twin of yours."
"Of course... maybe yes..." excited.
(How her mood changes in the blink of an eye, and Andrew knows exactly how to do it,) Sev thought. (They're a perfect match, I hope he never leaves her.) "Do you want to show us yours, Valerie?"
"No, I don't want you to see it, so that when you get the twin of mine you'll be surprised, you'll love it," very excited.
Sev fought not to laugh. (She is already sure that it is going to come out for me, Andrew has convinced her.) "Okay, then let's put the chairs back."
They did and sat down again. Sev told them how he had talked about Lily with Potter and that Black had indeed realized that he was with her and was not going to slip.
"Whoa… you must have had a great time," Valerie said, admired. "He turns me on more and more every time. Don't talk to me about him anymore, we're next to the Gryff house. I'll attack the Fat Lady and slip through."
Everyone laughed out loud again.
"I'm telling you seriously, I can't last a week," she continued. "Tomorrow I'll speak with him in the Great Hall."
Again they laughed. (We have to stop her feet, she is capable of doing it after the wings we are giving her,) Sev thought. "Better not, Valerie, and don't give him a snog in front of everyone either. He is very discreet to manage his relationships because he hangs out with several girls at the same time and he doesn't even tell his friends about it. They know he's a lady's man, but not who he does it with."
"Sure, you are right. Well, I like him even more."
They laughed again.
"Let me be the one to contact you, there is time between now and the end of the term," said Sev.
"Of course, Prince, whatever you say. Finish, come on."
He told them about both of their Patronuses, so they would understand the jokes he had played on Potter, which he told them verbatim, as jokes. They all laughed heartily.
"And Black, how has he reacted?" Valerie asked.
(She does not bear not to talkabout Sirius.) "Like you, with a clean laugh, looking at me and nodding satisfied," Sev answered.
"Whoa… that's good…" Valerie exclaimed. "How he turns me on."
"Then we fought together, two against two."
"Yeah, I've already seen you, you as a couple with Black, enjoying yourself to the fullest."
"I asked myself to go with him," said Sev.
"Of course, today you have created a lot of affinity. I'm sure he adores you."
"And I him."
"A friend forever," Valerie said. "That one no longer fails you, and he'll keep Potter in his place when you can come out into the open with Lily."
"Yes I think so. Also, Potter himself told me, right after we laughed at him, that I had made two real friends, and it seems to me that Potter places more importance on friendship than on relationships with women. He won't feel betrayed when he find out about me and Lily, he'll understand. He has seen us together since we were little, she has never given him hope and I have already told you that he was sad when I told him that we were not secretly together."
"Yes, I think so too."
He further told them how Potter had assessed him by comparing his personality to the qualities of the three Houses to which he did not belong.
"Wow… well, he's not that stupid," Valerie said. "He has defined you perfectly, he deeply admires you. You have done it perfect. I'll give you another kiss, but on the cheek, otherwise I speed up."
She took him by one cheek and kissed the other.
"I adore you Valerie."
"And I you."
