Hey everyone! Thank You so much for everyone who has followed along with me so far. I love hearing your responses and I do love some constructive criticism. I do have dyslexia and a toddler so although I try to edit as best as I can. I hope you all enjoy this next chapter.Chapter Six
Remus
I almost felt like I was dreaming, these poor kids being lured into a fight that was completely nothing to do with them. Seeing Sirius thrown against the wall was nearly my downfall, Harry running off half cocked after Bellatrix would never have ended well.
Having them all safe in the Hospital wing albeit a little roughed up was hard to deal with but I was glad they were all ok. Alice and Frank would have my life if their boy got hurt before they got to spend some time with him.
The boy in question was lying sleeping on the furthest away bed. Harry was looking up at the ceiling deep in thought and recovering from being possessed. Hermione Granger was also asleep following a fractured wrist trying to avenge her little girlfriend. Everyone was relatively unscathed except said girlfriend Cassie LeFevre. I keep thinking I am going mad, seeing her tonight injured I was able to keep my cool but upon seeing her birthmark I was sucked into a memory I have never forgotten.
FLASHBACK
It wasFriday Nightand somehow I managed to let Sirius convince me to go for a drink. We had Graduated and were free agents. I don't know why he invited me if he was gonna spend the whole night sweet talking Marlene McKinnon. I had just finished the last of my firewhiskey and was about to leave when a body appeared beside me with her hood up.
"Apple Firewhiskey please." I turned to see whom the voice belonged to and I saw his cousin. She was always a beautiful woman and aside from class assignments we never really had much interaction. She was always polite if a bit cold and we were warned by Sirius that she was practically sold to the Malfoys at fifteen.
"Its good to see you again Mr Lupin." As she lowered her hood and opened her cloak I could see a satin blue wraparound dress and gorgeous peep toed shoes. She really was the most beautiful woman in the world. As far as women go she was probably the highest of calibre.
"Put that on Mr Blacks tab please." She turned shocked at me before smiling and truthfully it was like an angels smile.
"Much appreciated Mr Lupin." I only nodded at her and we sat in silence before I could hear a commotion behind me and turned to see Bellatrix Lestrange cackling with some female friends.
"So what brings you out this evening Miss Black?" She smiled into her small straw before turning her body slightly to look at me.
"Narcissa please, my sister insisted I come out to celebrate my impending marraige. Although it is not something to celebrate in my head, in fact I would much love to forget it entirely." I knew her marraige was arranged but it seems she isnt too happy withvthe arrangement.
"I'm sorry, it must be difficult. " She nodded her head at me before she looked at me up and down as if I was a steak.
"Would you be interested in a sort of proposition Mr Lupin?" I was instantly wary of the woman in front of me. She was being kind but ultimately she was a Black. I know Sirius, he was my best friend but even a I knew he had a deviousness about him. Why would she be any different, growing up in that family.
"Call me Remus, what kind of proposition were you thinking of?" She smiled and took one final gulp of her own drink before hooking her cloak back onto her.
"If you are interested follow me out in a minute." She swept away from me and I just took a gulp of my own drink draining the glass entirely before waving to Sirius and following her out. My curiosity was too much for me, why would Narcissa Black propostion me in a bar? What could she possibly want from me? I walked out and saw her stand at the entrance to an Alley and she smiled.
"Do you have somewhere we can go?" I nodded and decided to take her to the Flat Sirius and I shared. She took a step toward me and we spun away to land on the living room of our modest two bedroom flat.Knowing Sirius was going to Marlene's house I knew we wouldn't be interrupted and I took her cloak from her shoulders before offering her a drink. Pouring two glasses of Firewhiskey she took it and I noticed her heartbeat had quickened and her hands trembled slightly. She didn't make any move to actually drink it though.
"So I am getting married in two days and Lucius is an egotistical manwhore who apparently is not a gentle man. If you don't want to do this then feel free to kick me out and I will never contact you again." I was definitely intrigued at this point and as I stood in front of her to stop her pacing I could practically feel the nerves spread through her. Her heartbeat quickened and I could see how stiff her posture was, it was almost like she was holding her breath.
"Narcissa what exactly do you need from me?" This was when she knocked back her drink in one swoop and I would be lying if I said it didn't effect me as a small droplet from the glass hit her neck and fell down her skin.
"I am going into this marraige having never been with a man before... Sexually..." I couldn't stop the blush that appeared on my face before also taking a drink and almost choking on it.
"I figured if I was going to be forced into a marraige and forced into having sex with that peacock then maybe at least I can lose my virginity to someone who will be gentle with me." She is propositioning me for sex, I mean the most beautiful girl in school wanted me. She must have took my silence as refusal because she just ducked her head in embarrassment and stood before putting her glass on the table.
"You know what, never mind its ok. Forget I said anything I am going to go, I apologise for taking up your time." She grabbed her cloak and I just held onto her arm to stop her.
"No wait I just was shocked I guess, why me I mean we don't really know each other." It was in this stance I noticed she was just a little shorter than me with those shoes on.
"I may not know you very well but I know you well enough to know you will be gentle with me. Considering your affliction you're a gentle soul Remus." She knew what I was? How? She rolled her eyes at me in a way that reminded me of Sirius.
"Oh please you and your friends are not exactly stealthy, my idiot cousin is even worse. I paid attention and every full moon you looked horrid and I have spent some time around werewolves to know the signs." I realised I still held firm but not hard on her arm and I released her.
"Narcissa are you sure this is what you want? I can't promise you will enjoy it, I mean it would be a first time for me also." She looked shocked at me before I elaborated.
"I had fumbles in a broom closet but I am still a virgin also." This was not the way I thought my evening was going to go, talking virginities with Narcissa Black was not something I ever thought would happen.
"I'm sorry, I just assumed you were with Charity for a while and I..." I shook my head at her slightly embarrassed before she looked shyly at me and let out a nervous laugh.
"Losing my virginity to you would be some version of a childhood dream I have had believe me, you're gorgeous and I have been very aware of you as the years have passed. I would consider it an honour but I don't want you to regret anything." She nodded her head at me before looking directly at me and took a step back and set her cloak on the chair behind her.
"I will have no regrets Remus, I approched you remember. " My inner neanderthal reared its ugly head and was extremely glad of all of her choices she chose to come to me even though I was practically a stranger.I could blame it on the wolf but truthfully I would take some sick perverse pleasure in knowing she had been mine.
All I could do was nod at her and she bit her bottom lip in nervousness before she slowly reached up to the zip on the side of her dress and pushed it down. My throat closed up slightly as she pushed the dress off her body to pool at the ground.
In all of my childhood fantasies I could not have imagined how good she looked. She had on a black corset and underwear and looked like sin wrapped up in lace and silk. She took two steps to reach me and barely touched me and instead leant forward to kiss me.
Her lips were so soft except for a small patch of skin at the corner of her mouth where it gets caught in her teeth. We continued for a second before my hands came up to touch her. I placed one hand behind her head and the other at her waist. She was skinny but had a softness to her which I found incredibly hot. As she pulled away I couldn't stop the smile from erupting on my face, she, was amazing.
"Where is your room?" I nodded to the door on the right and she took my hand and walked down into my room leaving her cloak and dress lying on the sofa. Once my door was closed she looked nervous again, I walked over and pulled her close to my body allowing some heat to seep back into her.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" She nodded at me before turning around and asked me to take the corset off. I tried to keep my hands steady but they were trembling like crazy as I undid the knots at the back. Throwing it to the ground I got a good look at her birthmark before she turned and I got a full view of her bare chest and I couldn't help myself, my hands, went to reach for her and I trailed my fingertip across her chest and I could practically feel the goosebumps erupt on her skin.
"You're perfect." I couldn't stop the words and realistically she was as she sat down on the edge of the bed she slipped of her shoes and in one swoop I picked her up with one hand and trailed her gently up the bed to rest at my pillows.
"I always heard stories about werewolves, the strength, the speed its all true isnt it." I nodded and she glanced nervously down my body, I was still fully clothed and her fingers came up to open the buttons on my shirt. As she opened it up and pushed it off me her eyes were drawn to the scars littered across my body.
"You're affliction you live with is not fair." I only nodded at her and she leant forward to kiss me again. We kissed and touched the top half of our bodies and slowly her hand went to the belt on my trousers. She pulled it open and unbuttoned my trousers before accidentally brushing her hand over my erection which is pressed against the tent of my black boxers. I couldn't stop the hiss from escaping my lips.
"I'm sorry." I only shook my head at her before laughing slightly to break the tension.
"Touching each other is kind of the intention you just caught me off guard." A small smile came over her face as I stood to remove my trousers, I removed my boxer shorts at the same time and I could see her eyes widen. She slowly reached out and softly touched me before I had to stop her.
"This will last even less time if you start touching me." I climbed back onto the bed and settled in between her legs and softly started touching her body. Once I reached her underwear I looked into her eyes to ask for permission and although she was still nervous I could tell she was getting comfortable with me.
"Are you sure?" She just nodded and I slowly pulled them down her body to leave her bare to me. She looked amazing and my imagination couldn't do her justice. As I pressed my fingers softly against her I knew this, would be something I would never forget.
END OF FLASHBACK
To be fair it wasnt something I had forgotten, every time I saw her on the arm of Lucius I thought about it and a part of me was smug knowing I was her first and always would be a part of her.It wasn't until recently with Dora I had anyone who came close. I still couldn't comprehend the fact that this is Narcissa.
Is she hiding? Is she spying for Voldemort? Is she spying for someone else? Does Albus know? I stood from my chair and went over to the privacy curtain to check on her. She was propped on her side to allow that nasty scar some respite. Her entire top half was in bandages and I knew, she would be forever scarred by her experiences.Movement from the corner of my eye alerted me to Hermione Granger waking up. Harry sat and looked at her before coming over to sit on her bed.
"Hermione I am so sorry! I'm so sorry! I never meant for anyone to get hurt and now MadEye is dead. Cassie is really hurt and all of you could have been killed. " I saw her pull him to her body and hug him fiercely.
"This is not your fault Harry and Cass will tell you the same when she wakes up ok." They talked for a while and it was the early hours of the morning when Harry fell asleep lying beside her.
"Professor Lupin." She said gently and sat up on her bed. As I heard her shuffle I lit my wand to guide her.
"Has she woke up yet?" I just shook my head and she went to sit at the other side of the cot. I saw the young Gryffindor take her classmates hand in her own and it was there I could see a connection.
"She will be alright Hermione." Soft tears started tracking down her cheeks as she pulled her hand to rest on her cheek and was nearly distraught.
"That curse was meant for me and I just don't understand why she would do that. She has quickly became one of my best friends but now that... I..." She trailed off before finishing and she couldn't get any further when the prone figure started to stir.
"Hey Cass, its ok, you're at Hogwarts." Her eyes slowly cracked open and upon seeing Hermiones face smiled.
"You're ok? I was worried." Young Hermione just dried her cheeks before nodding her head and looked at me. She asked me to give her a second and I chose that moment to go and talk to Albus.
"Its good to see you awake Miss LeFevre. Considering everything that has happened you have the rest of the day to recuperate and I am taking you home tonight. Your cousin Sirius has a room prepared for you. The Weasleys and Miss Lovegood has been escorted home already. Albus is coming later for Harry if you could let him know and Miss Granger I am bringing you home also." They both nodded at me and I left them to catch up.
Hermione
Seeing those beautiful green eyes shining uo at me and I knew what I needed to do, I needed to tell her how I felt. Once the world come out my entire life around me will change.
"I'm glad you're ok." She shuffled over a little and lifted her blanket up to allow me in beside her. I wasted no time cuddling into her side.
"You scared the shit out of me when I saw all of that blood. Why did you jump in front of that curse?" She held on tight to my waist and I knew she, wanted to keep me close to her. I felt the same since I woke up, the need to be close to her was insane.
"You know why Hermione, you have known for a while how I feel about you. I will never let anything bad happen to you if i can prevent it." I nodded my head and slowly I traced my hand over her cheek to let her know it's ok she is opening up.
"Before we say anything else though I need to tell you something, I want to kiss you but I can't unless you know, who I am." I stopped her by shaking my head and tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Its ok, I figured it out, you don't need to tell me, I already know." I knelt down to whisper in her ear so as Harry couldn't hear.
"Narcissa, its ok. I know its you and my feelings don't change. Ok." I looked into her eyes and she smiled at me before she slowly pressed her lips against my own and it felt amazing.It was soft and quick and over almost as quick as it had began. She smirked against my lips before leaning away and pressing her head down to the pillow again.
"So what now?" She asked all confused and both of us let out a nervouse chuckle before I pulled her in for another kiss.
"Do you wanna be my girlfriend?" She nodded her head and pulled me in for a deeper kiss which made my lose controlof my faculties.
"I am staying with Sirius this summer and I would like you to come and see me. I could come and see you." I nodded and knowing my parents go away for a week or two over the summer I couldn't wait to spend some other time together. We spent a while talking and kissing before we were interrupted by Harry coming around the corner and nearly dropping in shock.
" Whoa! Sorry." We extracted ourselves from each other before Poppy came and checked me over. Harry came to let us know Dumbledore was taking him home.
"I am coming to stay at Siriuss at the end of the summer so I will see you then." She got changed into her clothes before I realised I had to go and wrangle Crookshanks to get home.
Narcissa
"I will see you in a bit." She walked away after one final kiss which left me alone. As I packed up all of my get well soon accoutrements the door swung open and Remus walked in with my trunk behind him.
"Good to see you upright." I nodded my head and thanked him before lifting up my bookbag which he in turn toom and swung over his shoulder.
"Right then, before we go, I think we need to talk dont you?" Oh shit, that look on his face was one I had never seen before and he seemed furious.
"Are you going to pretend you dont know me. Don't bother denying it, Albus has already confided in me. My occlumency shields will not fail and I would never let anyone hurt you Narcissa." Small tears started to form in the corner of my eyes as he seemed genuinely happy to see me.
"When I read you had died in the Daily Prophet there was a part of me that was heartbroken. Then the other night when I checked your wound and I saw that birthmark I thought I was going crazy." I just popped my arse back down on the bed again and he sat across from me on one of the chairs.
"I assume Draco knows your alive?" I could only nod at him and as I glanced quickly at him he looked pissed.
"What the fuck Narcissa? You kept my son from me." I immediately shook my head at him and tried to explain.
"Remus we would have been slaughtered, they would have killed you first in front of me and then Draco and then I would have been beaten and raped by god knows who becore they would have killed me too." His eyes softened at me when I explained it to him and yet was still in denial.
"We could have ran away? Made a life somewhere else." I couldn't have stopped the tears from flowing at this point.
"When I got married my marraige contract meant they could find me anywhere. We would have died regardless so I did what was best for our son, at the start of the year when Lucius beat me and my heart stopped, my contract became null and void. The only way for me to get my freedom was to die." He stood and came to bring me in for a huge hug before resting his chin on my head.
"What did he do to you Cissa? Lucius?" I shook my head and pulled away from him and stood up ready to go.
"It doesn't matter I am free now. We can't tell Sirius he would not understand and too many people know already. " He gathered all of my things and before either of us could say anything Hermione came in with her trunk in one hand and Crookshanks cage in the other.
"Everyone ready to go?" Remus shrunk both of our trunks for us and I put mine in my book bag which he was gratefully carrying. He took Crookshanks cage also and we all made our way to the gates which would allow us to Apparate.
"Ok, Hermione first then." We stood in a small circle and he held onto both of us before spinning and coming to land in Hermiones back garden. An older woman who looked late fifties came running out to her daughter.
"Oh sweetie! I am so glad to see you!" Hermione held onto her mother for dear life when she introduced us.
"You remember Professor Lupin and this is Cass, I was telling you about her." I held out my hands to the woman and she just shrugged and threw her arms around me.
"I want to thank you for being such a good friend to my little girl." I just shook my head and smiled at Maya.
"I really Should be the one thanking you for bringing such a wonderful human being into the world." Her father apparently was at the shops and we decided to leave Hermione to spend some time with her mother.
"I will see you soon then yeah?" I nodded and she hugged me tightly as Remus handed me a piece of paper before he grabbed me and we left. When we landed I nearly collapsed at the house we were in.
"No one told me I had to live in the dungeon of doom, why of all places is Sirius living in this house of Horrors?" Remus shook his head and opened the door.
"He was acquitted after the fight in the Ministry and I think he much prefers solitude to anything else." We walked into the house and it looked almost exactly the same.
"Filthy, abomination of my womb! Get out!" Is that crazy bat still alive? Without investigation Sirius appeared around the corner and noticed me looking at the conspicuous portrait.
"I would advise you to just ignore my mother, she never was very pleasant." I turned to get a good look at him and he looked alot better than his mugshot anyway and thst night in the Ministry.
"Welcome to Grimmauld Place. You're Cassie right?" I nodded my head and he then proceeded to show me around the house and, Remus left us alone to go into his own room.
"So we're cousins apparently." I nodded curtly at him and he seems to know I didn't really want to talk much.
"Ok, so this is your room, its been all cleared out and cleaned some of the house hasn't yet so be careful what you touch. I am hoping Remus and I will have it clean by the time Harry comes to stay." I nodded my head and set my bag down on the mattress.
"Could my friend come over and stay also, Hermione Granger just the last week or two?" He smiled and nodded before showing me the bathroom and asked me to leave a list if I needed things. I would love to see the look on his face if I said something random like a period potion.He lect shortly after that and it was then I knew living with him wouldn't be too bad.
