Chapter 30
LB
It was the end of January, and I was lying on my stomach on my bed reading about my next potions class when I heard the door open. Not the door to my room, but the one that led out into the corridor. I didn't pay much attention to it, as some students came to ask for Remus. But a few seconds later there was a knock on my door. The door creaked open slowly and Remus's head popped in.
"Hey, cub. You got some visitors."
"Oh, yeah?" I asked looking up from my book.
"Angelina and the others are here. Do you want me to get rid of them or?"
"No, let them in." I said before he disappeared from my room leaving my door open. I put my attention back to my book as I heard Remus's footsteps walk to the door.
"Come in, come in." I heard his voice say. "Welcome." I could just see Remus gesture around the room proudly, his arms wide.
"Nice digs, professor." I heard Lee say.
"Thank you, Lee." I heard the footsteps come closer. "And here is the person you're looking for."
I looked up to see the five of them stand in the doorway looking at me. They were all still wearing their school robes. It was only an hour after dinner, and they still had time to wander around the castle.
"Are you going to come in or are you just going to stand there?" I raised an eyebrow with a grin. Angelina was the first to move and walked over to my bed quickly, while the boys all walked in slowly. Seemingly afraid Remus would pound on them for having a boy or rather boys in my room.
"I have a staff meeting; I'll be back in about an hour, two tops." Remus said looking from the others to me with a smile.
"Alright, but if you're not back by ten, I'm eating your ice cream." I pointed with my bookmark at him. Remus gasped and clutched his heart. If anyone would look at him right now, you would think someone suggested something improper. When the others chuckled, he winked at me before leaving us in the dormitory.
"I can't believe you have a room of your own." Angelina said, flopping down next to me.
"Yeah, it's okay." I shrugged, flipping a page over.
"Okay? You have all the privacy you want. You can invite anyone over without nosy roommates." She wiggled her eyebrows. "Someone like Nott, maybe."
I saw the twins' turn away from my pin board and look at me. Their faces were indescribable. "Yeah, right." I laughed and nudged Angelina's shoulder. "Nott coming over when your uncle sleeps right next door. And can hear everything..."
"Hm, yeah. That might be a buzz kill. But there is always a Muffliato charm."
"Oh Gods." I laughed as I let my head fall in my hands, shaking it slightly. I lifted my hand again to look at the others. "What are you guys doing here anyway?"
"We wanted to see your room." Fred grinned, looking at the collection of pictures on my wall.
"Just like you expected?" I asked, closing my book and sitting up, Angelina followed my lead.
"No." He said, holding a yellow scarf between his fingers. "And yes." He looked to me and raised an eyebrow. "Whose is this?"
"Cedric's." I shrugged. "He gave it to me a few days ago. I saw him come out of Potions and he gave it to me, saying Snape deliberately put a cooling charm in the room. It was so cold you could see your own breath."
"That's..." Lee glanced to the twins. "Nice of him."
"It was." I nodded. "Nott wasn't too pleased though."
"What? About you wearing a scarf of one of the most popular boys in school." Angelina snickered. "Can't imagine why."
"He was just being nice." I pushed her shoulder a little harder. "Besides I think he's seeing that Ravenclaw girl that plays on the Quidditch team." I looked to the twins, who were leaning against the wall, one foot propped against it. "What about you two? Are you going to ask someone to Hogsmeade?"
The twins looked startled at me. They shared a quick glance towards each other before turning their gaze back to me, giving a simultaneous shrug.
"Probably stay back to work on our products." George answered.
"Oh, come on." I whined. "Remember what I said a few months back, you only live once." I jumped on my knees on the bed, pointing at the twins. "Oh, why don't you let me set you up with someone? There are at least a dozen girls who want to go out with either one of you."
"Not interested." They said, shaking their heads.
"Besides, most people don't even know how to tell us apart."
"How's that even possible? Look at you two." The twins looked at me in surprise. "You're two completely different people." The boys just stared at me, trying to figure out if I was joking, which I wasn't.
Their gaze was intense as a lopsided grin appeared on both of their faces. It wasn't like I didn't know the twins were handsome but seeing them standing against the wall of my bedroom with their sleeves rolled up until over their elbows, showing of their strong, muscular arms. Their brown eyes turning a shade darker as they took me in. I cleared my throat as a blush crept up my cheeks from being under their intense gaze and looked to the book next to me. I picked it up and placed it on the nightstand before looking to Lee.
"Are you guys staying? Because I got a new board game during break I wanted to try out."

"Alec?" Angelina asked after we had played the game. Lee was putting it back in the cupboard when she turned to me. "When's your birthday?"
In the corner of my eye, I saw the three boys turn to look at me. "It already passed." I said and when Angelina's eyes went wide, I quickly added. "It's no big deal, I don't really celebrate it."
"Why not?" Fred asked, and George gave him a not-so-subtle nudge in his ribs. "You don't need to tell us." George added.
"Thank you, George." I gave him a little smile. "I'm not ready to tell you guys just yet."
"'s okay." Angelina placed her hand on mine. "We're here when you're ready or if you want to share it with us."
I squeezed her hand softly. "Thank you." Before anyone could utter another word, the door opened and Remus walked in swiftly, he stopped in his tracks when he saw all of us sitting in front of the fireplace.
"Since it's five minutes before curfew, you suggest you all better get going." He smiled.
"Right." Was a general mumble as they jumped up from the floor. "See you at breakfast, Alec." Angelina waved goodbye as she walked to the door with Lee.
"Good night." I said as I went to stand up from the floor. Suddenly there were two identical hands in front of me. I looked up to see the twins, their hands outstretched to pull me up. "Thank you." I smiled and reached up to kiss their cheeks. The twins' blush crept up again before they said a goodnight and followed Angelina and Lee out of the room. Remus walked closer to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders as we looked to the door that had just closed behind them. I heard him growl a little and I looked sideways with a raised brow.
"What's that all about?" I asked with an escaped chuckle.
"Hm?" He looked away from the door and down at me. "Nothing, just tired." He said waving it away and turned to his desk. I looked from the door to Remus and watched him a little as he grabbed the fourth-year essays. When he didn't look up, I walked back to my room and got dressed for the night.

I was sitting on the floor with my back leaning against the back of the couch as I looked at the window. The dark black lake loomed in front of me, sometimes you could spot a ripple in the water before a creature, or a tentacle appeared. Despite the dark and gloomy vibe that defined the Slytherin common room, the black lake was a sight to behold. I was so entranced by the water; I didn't notice a body slide down next to me.
"Hey, you." I jumped a little from the sudden voice next to me. I turned and saw Blaise Zabini sitting next to me.
"Blaise." I nodded at him before looking back to the window. I just saw two large tentacles disappear from view.
"Where's your boyfriend?" He asked. Nott and I hadn't really put a label on it, and I was just about to open my mouth when another voice came from behind me.
"Oh, you have a boyfriend, Lupin-Black?" The teasing voice said. I turned with a grin to see Emmett Nott grinning back at me. He was leaning over the couch as he looked down at me and Blaise. "I've been snogging someone else's girl then?"
"Well, if she isn't your girlfriend." Blaise said looking at Nott. "I'm free to flirt with her whenever I want."
Nott jumped over the back of the couch in a fluent movement and landed next to me. His arm went around my shoulders, and he leaned forward to look at the young boy. I pursed my lips together to hide a smile. "Don't push it, Zabini. Besides she's two years older than you."
"So, I like my women older." He winked as he quickly evaded Nott's hand as it tried to grab his robes. "Later, Alec." He said with a grin before disappearing behind the couch.
Nott looped his free arm under my legs and pulled them into his lap, turning me more to him. I leaned forward to capture his lips. He hummed against it as his finger grazed my thigh. "Still jealous?" I chuckled against his lips.
"Hm, of Blaise? No." He said with a little shake of his head. "I know he thinks you're hot, but who doesn't." He shrugged, and I slapped his arm making him chuckle. "He's just trying to rile me up." He pecked my lips. "Diggory or the Weasley twins though."
"I already told you, Diggory is seeing some Ravenclaw girl. And the twins and I are just friends."
"Just friends, he? Are you sure?"
"I am." I cocked my head as I looked at him. "They were my first friends here, together with Ange and Lee. Do they flirt? Yes." And I cupped his cheek as he frowned. "But you know the twins for like five years, you know how they are. They flirt with almost every girl."
"Maybe." He said still not convinced. I cupped both of his cheeks before leaning forward to kiss him. Our lips moved in sync, and they parted simultaneously as our tongues intertwined. The arm around my shoulder went lower until it rested on my waist. The fingers on my thigh went up higher, in a slow pace. It slipped under my skirt, and the tension in the lower part of my stomach knotted together. My hands went from his cheeks to his hair, tugging it until our lips parted. Our eyes met as our breathing became heavy. "Alec." He whispered in a deep and husky voice; his eyes darker than I'd ever seen.
"Dorm." I said between heavy breaths. He captured my lips again before lifting my feet from his lap and stood up. He pulled me with him in an instant, and without looking at anyone in the room he guided me towards his dormitory.
It was the first time I stepped into his dormitory, but besides the fact that it was empty, I didn't have a chance to look around the room. The moment I was in the room, Nott closed the door and pushed me against it. Our eyes met, and my arms circled around his neck before his lips came back crashing on to mine. The kiss was heated and filled with lust. His hands went to my waist, his thumb grazed under my shirt, touching my bare skin. That soft touch shot shivers down my spine, and I nibbled his bottom lip, making him groan. His hands went lower until they were on my thighs. His hands went slowly and passionately over my bare skin, going under my skirt until his hands cupped my cheeks. Without breaking the kiss, he lifted me up from the floor. My legs wrapped around him, and I pulled him flush against me. I could feel him through his pants, his need apparent.
He pulled me off the wall and carried me to his bed. He lowered me softly on the mattress and started kissing my neck, leaving his mark on me. He pulled back, as one hand went to the buttons of my shirt, his other still under my skirt. He looked from the buttons on my chest, which was heaving heavily to my eyes. When I gave him a nod, he opened them with ease. Popping them open one by one in an excruciating slow pace. But once the final button was undone, my shirt fell open, revealing my thin black lace bra. I didn't think it was possible, but his eyes darkened even more. I felt his hand move to cup my breast, but I raised my own hands to undo his shirt. Within second the buttons were open, and I pushed it off his shoulders and threw it on the floor. His torso was firm, a slight but noticeable sixth pack visible under my fingers. I took him in for a moment, just letting my hands go up and down his tanned torso. It looked like he had been under a sunbed a few times, the way his skin looked. My hands went lower, and I pulled on the waistband of his trousers, pulling him back down to me. His lips didn't touch mine but travelled lower as he pushed my bra straps down. When he took one of my breasts in his mouth, I moaned loudly, arching my back.
"Emmett." I moaned his name, as my nails dug in his back. I felt him harden between my legs, just from me moaning his name. With my bra pulled down, a breast in his mouth, his hand travelled down to my skirt. But before he could pull it off, I stopped him. "Wait."
"Something wrong?" He asked worried, pulling back. "Do you want me to stop?"
"No, sweet De la Barre, no." I smiled up at him, before I glanced to the door and back. "But I don't want anyone to walk in."
"Gotcha." He grinned and took his wand from his back pocket. With a wave of his wand and a soft murmur the door locked. He tossed his wand on his nightstand before his attention went back to me. His Slytherin smirk in place as he tucked his thumbs in the waistband of my skirt. I lifted my legs up and his slid them down, taking my knickers with him. Before he could do anything, I pushed myself up and sat down on my knees in front of him. His Slytherin smirk had vanished as I my hand traced the rim of the waistband, before my hand slipped under it. I could help my own smirk when his head fell back, letting out a moan. Even though his eyes were closed, and his head tilted back, he said with a hoarse voice. "Stop smirking."
"I learned it from the best." I smirked between the kisses I left on his torso. My hands unbuckled his belt before I popped the button open. "Out now." I said as I sat back up and kissed him deeply.
"Yes, ma'am." He grinned as he chivied out of his trousers.

I was sitting in the Gryffindor tower with Angelina going over our Charms homework, when Harry came running in loudly. His eyes were wide as he searched the common room, in his right hand was his new Firebolt. When his eyes found me, a large grin appeared on his face, and he came running over.
"Alec! I've been looking for you since this morning."
"Well, I'm here." I snickered.
"Sorry, Harry. I had her hauled up all day in my room." Angelina apologized as she looked up from her essay.
"'S okay. Can I burrow her?"
"Yeah, sure-" She was interrupted when the twins and Lee came down from the boy's staircase, laughing. They were still smiling when they stopped at the table Ange and I were sitting at and dragged a few chairs to sit next to us, the twins on either side of me and Lee next to Ange, placing his arm around Angelina, giving her temple a sweet kiss.
"So, you got the broom back?" I asked Harry, tilting my head. But before Harry could answer, Angelina gasped. The five of us turned to look at her with raised eyebrows. "Ange?"
Angelina had a knowing smirk on her lips as she looked at me. "What's on your neck?" She asked as she pointed towards it. Shit! The hickey. The past two days I had managed to keep it covered, wearing turtlenecks, a scarf, anything. But now the collar of my shirt had shifted, and since my hair was tied up in a high bun, it didn't cover the mark.
"N-Nothing." I said, adjusting my collar. I felt all eyes on me and I looked to the ground ignoring the looks. As I looked down, Fred had reached up and before I could stop him, he pulled my collar back.
"Oh, Nott left a mark." Angelina grinned. Fred's hand dropped from my collar, and I dared to look at the others. Angelina still had that smirk on her face, Lee looked worried for some reason. Fred, George and Harry all avoided my gaze. The three of them looked down. They really should get over the rivalry with Slytherin. I adjusted my collar back, covering up the mark and stood up.
"First of all, I'm not answering anything about it. Second of all, I know you guys don't like Slytherins, but Emmett is a good guy." I took my robe and draped it over my arm. "You should give him a chance. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the meeting, okay?" I went over one by one to give them a kiss on the cheek, but the twins barely gave reaction while Angelina whispered to tell me more later. I stopped at Harry who was still standing in the same spot. "Harry, did you need me?"
"Uhm, yeah." He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. "I just got my broom back from McGonagall, and I -" A blush crept on his cheeks. "I wanted to ask, if you wanted to go test it out with me?"
"Sounds like fun." I smiled as I nudged him. "What about Hermione and Ron?"
"Hermione doesn't really like flying, and Ron... well he can get a little overexcited."
"Alright, let's go then." I turned and held out my arm for him to take. When he looped his through, I looked over my shoulder to the others. Lee was going over the essay from Angelina, and the twins still had a funny look plastered on their faces, I couldn't quite describe. With a little frown of my own, I waved them goodbye and headed out the common room with Harry.
