Start the day right
Deborah woke up Sev with tender kisses and caresses, in the same position, they were still bonded and embraced.
"How did you sleep?" she asked him.
"Wonderfully. What time is it?"
"Ten to eight."
"Well, we have time for some pampering. Don't you have to shower?" he asked.
"I can go a day without showering, it doesn't matter. From now on I'll do it at night, to wake up with you whenever you want."
"Do you know what I was dreaming?"
"Yes, that you were walking with Lily, through your neighborhood," Deborah replied.
"Wow… how nice."
"I have seen the park and the river."
"You have to show me," Sev said.
"When we have a while, whatever I remember."
"Of course…" disappointed. "I have to do the cave ritual with you."
"No, Prince, we'll do it when you can, we'll wait until next year. Remember, think of yourself, prioritize."
"Ugh... It's just that I did it with Lauren, in the Room of Requirement, I should have taken you both."
"Is there a cave in the Room?"
"Yes, there is a whole natural space prepared to practice all the beneficial witchcraft," he answered.
"Wow… amazing. Don't suffer about it now, you needed to be alone with her."
"Yeah, but it didn't suit me as well as it should have. It's one of those negative influences I have to eliminate, and besides, I'm spending too much energy on her and neglecting you and Lily."
"I understand, she turns you on a lot," she said.
"You also turn me on a lot, Deborah, in a different way, but with you I'm much more relaxed, I feel better."
"Then spend less time with her."
"That's what I'm going to do," said Sev. "I am very sorry for her, but I have to learn to distribute myself and surround myself with those who provide me with well-being without taking away my energy."
"Of course, you should do that. Are you going to talk to Lily or her at breakfast?"
"How do you know I talk to Lauren at meals?"
"It is evident, Prince, somehow you communicate. You only see each other in class, and in class you never talk to her."
"You surpass me in sagacity, Deborah, it is impossible to keep secrets from you. No, I don't have to talk to her at breakfast, I don't have anything urgent to tell her."
"And with Lily?"
"Probably yes, she will have to inform me about the Gryffs."
"What is not private between you both and you think it is convenient for me to know, try to project it to each other while you and I are bonded," she suggested. "Surely I'll listen to everything you talk about, and you save time."
"Wow… Deborah," astonished. "Of course. How had it not occurred to me before?"
"Because you have too many things on your mind, Prince. I've been thinking about it since you started teaching me to project. I am your second, and I already told you, I am going to help you in your task with all the means at my disposal, the first of them, my intelligence. We are two minds to think as one."
"Thank you very much, Deborah, I don't know what I would do without you. Will someone from home be tempted to read us?"
"Nobody, Prince. I have taken it upon myself to talk to them and instill in them your values, which was something that also impressed me when I met you, that you refused to read your friends, confronting me in that way. And I'm sure Jack doesn't do it with us either, he was impressed too."
"My, Deborah, I've been occluding everything on my mind when I'm around you since the day of the mess."
"Ugh, Prince, how distrustful you are."
"As a good Sly, you read allies."
"But it was an emergency situation."
"Emergency to save me," Sev said.
"That is, totally justified. Like yesterday with Potter and Black, emergency to save them."
"I will no longer occlude near you all."
"If we have enough time at breakfast, we'll talk about some issues, about what you consider to be a priority," she proposed.
"Of course, also about what you do."
"Go take a shower, come on. What subjects do you have in the morning?"
He told her.
"I'll prepare your backpack. Do you have the trunk open?" she asked.
"Yes, Deborah, thank you very much."
"If I've already left when you come out, I'll see you downstairs."
"Sure, see you later."
Sev grabbed a change of clothes and went to shower. Jack was getting up at that moment, Anthony was in the other shower.
He allowed himself to think about Lauren during the five minutes it took him to shower. She turned me down when I offered to be with her after Easter, when even Lily tried to talk her into it. After the mess, it took her almost a week to make up her mind about me or Jack, causing me deep concern for her when at the same time I had other much more serious ones, the news in the Daily Prophet, the malefics when we still had no Map, the journey to look for the Horcrux with the old man.
And yesterday, in barely a quarter of an hour, as soon as I told her about Sirius, she was so tempted that she's practically determined to leave Jack for him without even knowing him, just because she likes him a lot and because she knows he's going to fuck her too, when on Saturday she hated him to such an extent that she demanded that I threaten him with a lynching.
She may be deeply in love with me but she is excessively carried away by sexual pleasure, physicality, her impulses. That said, she is very wild and drags me with her. I don't think it was a very good idea to get involved. If we keep doing it, I'm going to be a lot more toned down, and certainly spending time with Lily, Deborah, and Valerie. They know how to measure times and rhythms much better, or maybe it's me who doesn't know how to do it with Lauren. It's more like that, what Deborah said, she turns me on a lot and I can't hold back. I stop being sober, I give myself to excesses, it doesn't suit me.
It happened to me with Deborah too, but it was because it was the first time in more than a month, I had only been with Audrey a couple of times, I had been very hungry. But with Lauren, in two days, six times, and hours and hours of Time-Turning. It can't be, I'm not going to resist like this for the rest of the term. So many people taking care of me and I don't take care of myself.
She is going down the list of my priorities, let Deborah or Lily take her to a tree in the Room of Requirement to pass on the Transfiguration talent. I'll meet her to teach her how to invoke the Fiendfire and one night after her exams to sleep on the beach, because that's what I really want too, and that way we say goodbye.
Now she has tasted me, as she says, she already has enough information to decide what she wants to do. Let her get used to not having me much, because I have to distribute myself, and she has the whole summer to think about whether or not she should continue with me. I'll put her in contact with Sirius but I'll also warn him about her, that he also has as much information as possible, because I think she'll snack him, Sirius is a good guy. It's done, forgotten for today.
He got out of the shower, Jack was in the other. He went to his bed and dressed as a warrior, not a school uniform, since after breakfast he had Time-Turner.
He went down to the Common Room. It was a quarter past eight, his family was already waiting for him.
Valerie spoke, "We have already assembled the choreography. I tell you."
She has assembled it, she loves it, Sev thought. "Tell me."
"On your side of the table, from closest to furthest from the teachers, Jack, Shelley, Ariel, you, me and Andrew. Good! Deborah, I've stolen him from you. Me, between my two boys. How about?"
"If it sounds good to you, it sounds great to me, Valerie."
"I continue," she said. "On the other side, but not directly opposite, but alternated, so that the heads do not cover Lily, Fiona, Heather, Anthony, Deborah, Paul, George and Angie. How about?"
"Great."
"Among whom do you want to see Lily? Between Anthony and Deborah or between Deborah and Paul?"
"I do not care," he replied.
"Prince, do something on your part, we'll give you everything chewed up."
They all laughed.
"It's that I would like to be close to both of them," Sev said.
"Look how hard is to raise you, huh?"
They laughed again.
"Let's see, you decide. Do you prefer to have Deborah and Paul in front of you or Paul and George?" he asked her.
"Me, Paul and George, I already see Deborah a lot. I see her everywhere, I know her by heart, six years in the same bedroom, imagine."
They all laughed.
"Well, we'll do it like this. Me, between Deborah and Paul." Besides, I'd rather be with Paul, we have less than a month of school left. Someone else whom I am neglecting and who is going to be very important in my future life.
"Come on, here we go. How do you say Deborah? Row of two, wands out?" Valerie asked.
"Only row of two," answered Deborah. "The wands are no longer necessary, remember that we have cleaned Hogwarts."
"Good for us!" Valerie exclaimed, raising her clenched fist.
They left the house and went up the stairs in twos, but once in the corridor on the ground floor they broke up and went in a group, chatting relaxed.
They were the first ones arriving at the Great Hall, not even the teachers were there yet, and they sat down as they had planned. The two fifth-year girls, Jack, Ariel, and Shelley were missing. Sev removed his coat and Anthony his robes to save their places next to them.
As soon as Valerie saw him in a short-sleeved T-shirt, she squeezed his right bicep, which was on her side, hard. "Like a rock!" she exclaimed. "How powerful you are, Prince! I'm dying to taste you! Deborah, tonight it's my turn!"
Everyone was laughing from the first sentence.
"And despite he has it relaxed," she continued. "Let's see, make it hard."
Sev did.
"If he has the other thing as hard as this, you can forget about me, Andrew!" Valerie went on.
They laughed again.
"Do you have it, Prince?" she asked.
They laughed again.
"Not right now," he replied.
"Do you want me to put it for you?"
They laughed again.
"What a stupid question, Valerie. Of course!" Sev exclaimed.
Laughter again.
"Well, let's have a snog of those of yours, here, in the Hall," Valerie suggested.
"Go for it."
They have it, a minute of passionate kiss, taking each other by the heads, while the others whistled and applauded. I'm already like a motorcycle, at a hundred. He broke up. "Okay, Valerie, do you want to check it out?"
Laughter.
"What a stupid question, Prince! Of course!"
More laughter. She brought her hand to his crotch.
"I already tell you that he has it as hard as his bicep, and what a piece!" she exclaimed. "Andrew, you've lost your girlfriend!"
Everyone had a stomach ache from laughing.
"Let's leave it, let's leave it… breakfast is going to make us sick," Valerie said.
Now I'm going to tease her, Sev thought. "Valerie! Now you can't leave me like this!"
Laughter.
"You're right, you're right... How do you want me to do it to you? With my hand or with my mouth?"
More laughter.
"As you want, but decide now! It's twenty-five past eight!"
Redoubled.
"With my hand, more discreet," she decided.
"Go ahead."
She sat spread-legged in front of him on the bench, to get an angle to do it to him with her right, she reached inside his clothes and began to do it to him, while the others laughed and whistled. In the Great Hall, in front of everyone, lonely Raves are already beginning to arrive. Luckily she does great, I'm going to finish in time so that the old man doesn't catch us. "Valerie… I also want to taste you…"
"Go ahead, Prince, you have it very easy."
He reached under her robes and skirt, touching her underwear. "Wooow, Valerie… you're soaked…"
"So you can see how you turn me on, Prince…"
He looked at her. She's horny as hell, already panting. "I want to please you... but that way you're not going to come…"
"It doesn't matter, Prince… If it turns you on, do it…"
"Indeed it turns me on…"
"Go ahead then…"
He began massaging the area he knew she liked on top of her clothing with the back of his fingers. She continued to do it with skill and desire. They looked at each other.
"Wow, Valerie... you're doing great... I can't wait to catch you alone... I'm going to destroy you…"
"And I you... You're making me lose concentration... I wanted you to realize what you're missing…"
"Of course... it will be this week... You're going to taste me before Black... so you have something to compare with…"
"If I have you, I don't want Black anymore…" she said. "I reserve myself for what you give me…"
Not like Lauren.
Sev took a look, there were already students at all the tables, including Sly, even some teachers, including McGonagall, looking at them shocked. Ugh... she's going to tell on the old man. He burst a laugh and told everyone, "Look at Minerva."
Those who had their backs turned to look at the teachers' table and laughed. McGonagall did not stop looking at them.
Valerie told him, "Let's stick out our tongues at her, Prince."
They both did, McGonagall looking away. The two of them laughed too, without stopping doing it.
"What have you done?" Deborah asked them, turning around again.
"Stick out our tongues at her," Valerie replied.
They all laughed again.
She made him finish before half past eight, Lauren had also arrived. When he finished he exclaimed, "Wow… Valerie, you are an artist! The best I have ever been done by hand! Today I'll test if it's a memory of a twin Patronus of yours!"
Laughter again, many students at the other tables turned to look. Lauren looked up at them too, catching Sev watching her. Fuck you. He looked away from her immediately.
"Good!" Valerie exclaimed. "You had to have this memory in the Great Hall! The place where you were born again on May 15th!"
Laughter and applause from the whole group. They both took out their hands and Sev wiped them with his left.
"Hand magic?" she asked him softly, surprised and excited.
"Yes," he replied in the same tone. "Druid Magic, the ritual that you will do this week."
"Did you like it?" insecure.
How cute, she thinks that I said it to make them laugh and it was the absolute truth. He caressed her face. "Of course, Valerie, I loved it. And you? You have not finished."
"I already told you that it doesn't matter, Prince. When you feel like it, you give it back to me. Meanwhile, I have material to dream."
"Thank you very much, Valerie, I love you."
"And I you, handsome."
"Kiss me."
They kissed on the lips, while the Sly table filled up. Five seconds later Dumbledore entered the Hall. Valerie turned back to the table. "Come on! The show is over! Let's have breakfast!" she ordered everyone.
They got to it right away. Breakfast has cooled, but how pleased I am, Sev thought. This really is to start the day right.'
