Countless
The seven Sly occlumants enjoyed a spectacular sunset sitting against the wall where the cave entrance was, on a slight slope. From bottom to top and from closest to furthest from it sat Anthony, Jack, Andrew, Valerie, Sev, Deborah and Paul. They remained silent as they watched it.
When the sun completely disappeared into the sea, they decided to eat right there, enjoying the spectacular changing colors of the clouds, which went from fiery orange to intense pink, then softer, and finally to violet, very slowly. They also were enjoying the warmth that emanated from the stone of the mountain, which had received the punishing sun of June for half a day.
(For us it is already after one in the morning, so it is more than five hours since we have had dinner. Deborah and Paul have brought abundant and varied sweet and savory food, to everyone's taste, since only the two of them and I never eat sweets. Valerie, Anthony and Jack love them, and Andrew likes them but cuts down, having them only for breakfast, never dessert.)
Deborah, Paul and Sev were chatting bonded. She was telling him, "Eating sweet things is not bad when you have to expend a lot of energy immediately, since the pure sugar in sweets, glucose, is quickly metabolized. For example, they are suitable for climbing this steep slope to the cave."
"Buf... but I don't know if I would be able to. I don't avoid sweet because it's harmful to health, it's simply because I don't like it," said Sev.
"In that case, dark chocolate, without sugar, or nuts, also provide a lot of energy, although they are metabolized more slowly. You should consume them a while before making the effort."
"I've never tried dark chocolate, I suppose I would like it, I really like bitter. And I love nuts, I was with Lily in the Guard clearing during the Hogsmeade outing in September, we were fed up with walnuts and hazelnuts. We didn't catch you training because you were spying." He laughed.
"Please, don't remind me," Deborah said, laughing too, but embarrassed. "Look, if Lestrange catches Anthony and me in Hog's Head…"
"Did you go to Hog's Head to spy without knowing Occlumency?" Paul asked shocked, also laughing.
(Great, laughs at Bellatrix's expense,) Sev thought. "Careful, Paul, you're going to choke."
"Yeah… Luckily it caught me between bites."
"I don't know what we would have done without Prince," Deborah said wistfully.
"Neither me without you all, pretty, give me a kiss, come on," said Sev.
They kissed with their mouths full of food.
"It doesn't disgust you," he told her.
"Of course not," she replied. "It's something natural."
"It's your favorite phrase, 'it's something natural'," laughing. "Get ready, Paul. When we came back naked from the kitchens she sneaked into the boys' bathroom in the dungeons and pretended to see me go to the toilet."
Paul and Sev laughed, almost choking, Deborah laughed too, embarrassed. "Don't tell him that, Prince, it's our intimate things…"
"But he's going to find out anyway when you make the Union of Souls, so he's preparing for what awaits him. Tell him about the golden shower."
Sev and Deborah laughed again. "No, not that, it's very disgusting while eating," she said.
"True, you are right. We'll leave it for another time, Paul."
"You have taken me out of the topic I was on, I was talking to you about the sweets. Didn't you like them even when you were little?"
(She still wants to get to know me to the fullest,) Sev thought. "No, not even when I was little. Lily would always treat me to sweets and I would eat them so as not to despise her."
"How cute…" She caressed him.
"I've never liked them either," Paul said.
"As a child I did like them, but my parents got me used to eating them only on special occasions, because sugar is also very harmful to the teeth," Deborah said.
"Oh really?" Sev asked.
"Of course," Paul replied. "Sugar accumulates in them and causes cavities."
(I am embarrassed to ask in front of Paul, but I get the impression that he is not going to laugh at me.) "What is cavities, Deborah?" (No, he hasn't laughed at me, I can ask everything freely.)
"A disease of the teeth," she answered. "Bacteria, tiny animals that live in the mouth, feed on the remains of food, especially sugar, and corrode the teeth. They fall off, so you have to brush them after every meal."
"Booah… I never brushed my teeth until about a year ago."
"Well, you've gotten rid of it by not taking sugar, because I suppose you've never visited the dentist either," Paul replied, without a hint of mockery, compassion or reproach, just as mere information and some concern for him.
(Paul also knows my history, of course.) "What is the dentist?"
"The dental doctor, who fixes your teeth when you have cavities," Deborah replied.
"Well no, I have never visited a dentist."
"If you had taken sugar, you would be missing half your teeth," Paul told him.
"Booaaah… how awful."
"Now how many times do you brush them a day?" Deborah asked.
"In the morning, when I get up, and if I'm going to be with a girl."
"Wrong," Paul said. "After each meal, and if you don't have time, better at night than in the morning, so you don't have leftover food accumulated all night."
"Ugh… I do everything upside down," laughing, the others didn't. "And now I won't be able to brush them, there are no cleaning products in the Refuge."
"If you haven't brushed them in so many years and you don't have cavities, they won't come out for one more night," Paul told him. "You must also have good genetics, little predisposition by birth. Do your parents have good teeth?"
"My mother do, she hasn't been to the dentist in many years either and as far as I know she doesn't lack any, and she's almost fifty."
"Of course, good breed, pure-blood. Either way visit a dentist this summer for a checkup. That is cheap, you can have some cavities and not have noticed."
"Thanks, Paul, I will."
"Do you drink milk often?"
"Yes, at all meals, but only from Easter. I didn't have it even when I was little."
"How awful... Indeed you have good genetics," said Paul. "Milk is also essential for teeth, for calcium."
"Lily warned me that it was for the bones. That's why I broke my arm when the Gryffs attacked me."
"Of course, in full growth, having already given the growth spurt. I hope you don't have bone problems in the future, you must have them very weak, you should be very careful when fighting, with falls. Did your arm heal well? Does it ever hurt?"
"Yes, it healed well, it never hurts," Sev replied.
"Luckily we are witches. If you had been healed the Muggle way you might resent it for life."
"Ugh… the right precisely."
"Do not claim victory yet, wait for the humidity to return," the older boy warned. "If it hurts when it rains, a bad sign, you don't take it off in your whole life."
"Ugh… what a nuisance."
"You have forgiven them too easily."
"Well, you know why I did it," Sev said. "What was done was done, I could have broken a bone any other way."
"Yes, the truth. Be cautious."
"I will be."
"And has someone taught you to brush your teeth, dear?" Deborah asked him, very sweet, caressing him.
"No, Deborah, I brush them however I think." He laughed.
"You're probably doing it wrong. Tomorrow after lunch I'll go to your bedroom and teach you. Do you think it's okay?"
"Of course, Deborah, thank you very much. Are there any other health concerns I should have that I may not be aware of?"
"Do you always wash your hands after doing your things?" Paul asked.
"Of course, and also before meals and being with a girl, unless I get horny suddenly."
"And besides, his fingernails are very short and clean," Deborah said.
"Well, if you wash them several times a day, nothing happens, they are not so delicate either," Paul said.
"No, of course," Deborah said, "I don't think about washing them right before I do it myself and I've never had an infection. The vagina has its own mucosa, which defends it from external aggressions."
"What is the mucosa?" Sev asked.
"What makes us girls wet."
"Of course… it's like a way to prepare you for what awaits you when you get horny," inciting.
They laughed. They had already finished eating, the others had not.
"And besides a protection, if they didn't get wet we couldn't put it in, it would hurt a lot," Paul said.
"Well, I was coming to that too, Paul," said Sev.
"Of course, the expert who is going to teach us all."
They laughed.
"Laugh, laugh, you'll see, I'm miles ahead of you," said the younger boy.
"I don't doubt it," a bit sad. "I have devoted myself to putting it in and that's it, although I have always done what has been in my handso the girl arrived."
"Well, that of 'in your hand'... rather you should name another of your members."
They laughed again. Deborah stroked Paul and spoke softly to him, "Don't worry, honey, it was because you weren't motivated to really work on it. But we will all learn together."
"Yes, with Deborah's theoretical lessons and Prince's practicals," said Paul.
They laughed again. (Paul is also funny and very witty, I love it.)
"Well, Paul, I'll also let you give me lessons, I'm very ignorant in many things," Sev said.
"But that wasn't your fault, Prince, mine it was mine."
"Is there anything else I should worry about regarding health?"
"Yes, don't do it several times every day."
They laughed again.
"That's what I'm telling him," Deborah said. "For you it's a brutal waste of energy, and you also lose calcium."
"Oh…"
"Have you heard Prince?" Paul asked. "Deborah's theory lessons. Although I understand you, you are at the age. At fifteen and sixteen I was also crazy. The change, the growth, the hormones triggered. I did it myself every day, alone or accompanied. You're horny all day, right?"
"Yes the truth. I turn on with nothing."
"It's normal, but try to moderate yourself, especially if you already have weak bones, coming sucks calcium from your bones."
"Ugh… what a disappointment…" Sev lamented, pitiful.
Deborah caressed him tenderly. She said, "Leave us alone, Paul."
Paul unbonded himself from them immediately. Deborah continued, very sweet the whole time, "How much milk do you drink a day?"
"I drink three cups of tea with milk."
"Take more, do not mix it with tea, drink three cups of milk a day. You will make up for what you lose coming and will recover your bone density in a few years, the bones are renewed every seven years."
"Oof… what a relief," he said.
"Of course, Paul doesn't have much of an idea, he just found out about the calcium because he heard me."
"Thank you, Deborah."
"And don't be disappointed, find satisfaction in pleasing us even if you have to hold your desire back a bit, you have the advantage that you know how to do it without coming too. I, for my part, will try that the times you come with me you be very pleased, without wanting more. And I'll tell Valerie, Lily, and Lauren, too."
"Ugh… that's worse. If I like it a lot, then I remember it and I get back to put like a motorcycle."
"Okay, but you remember later," she said. "At the moment you feel pleased, exhausted, and don't come several times in a row. Like we did last night."
"Sure."
"Are you horny now?"
"No, but because I'm exhausted," Sev replied. "Otherwise, just remembering yesterday with you or what happened a while ago I would be at a hundred."
"Yeah, what a problem you boys have with that. You lose your head, and it catches you at an age that is already suitable for having relationships. Not us, we make the change when we are smaller and it's more gradual. It's strange that you're not having problems with your studies. Isn't it harder for you to concentrate?"
"You already know that it isn't, quite the opposite."
"I already know," Deborah confirmed.
"I am where I have to be at all times."
"It's just that you're one of a kind," she kissed him. "Well, today you're not going to do anything else, and if you don't go crazy tomorrow when you wake up, please Valerie and that's it, what you owe her for today."
"I already owe her two, also the one for breakfast on Monday."
"Well, dedicate yourself to her."
"But she's going to be disappointed for not doing it together," he said, worried.
"No, honey. I've already talked to her, she's not going to force anything on you. Like if you don't do anything, you've heard her say that before. She will wait until Sunday, she has already come today too."
"Ugh… but I wanted to Bond with her as a Couple…" disappointed.
"Leave it for Sunday too, for today the emotions have already been enough for you," Deborah advised. "Reserve Saturday for Lily and Sunday for us. And you don't have to come with both of us, you've already seen that today we've known how to make it on our own. We will have each other and we are also looking forward to it. We'll turn you on by doing it to each other so that you like it a lot, it's enough for you once and you fall asleep right away, without Time Turner, like last night."
"Yeah… but if I Bond as a Couple with Valerie, I would also like to do it alone with her," shy.
"Well, in that case, we also take part of the afternoon and don't go down to dinner, and while you're alone with her, I'll take a walk, with the map and the dictionary, which I love, I'll explore the terrain. Then you do it with both."
"Okay…"
"Look, you're cute…" she said. "Deep down you're very shy."
"The truth is that I am."
"I adore you."
"And I you."
They were both moved and cried a little while they kissed tenderly for a couple of minutes, without saying anything else. (The others haven't laughed all along, they must be talking seriously in pairs, Anthony with Jack and Valerie with Andrew.)
Finally Deborah spoke, "Aren't you starting to get a little cold?"
"Yes, it has already cooled down and this is very exposed. If they have finished dinner we get going."
"I think that everyone is looking forward to it, but they are waiting for us to give the orders, as before at sunset."
They parted laughing.
"So let's bond with the others, let's see what they say."
They bonded with everyone. Sev asked, "Do you want us to leave now?"
"Yes, please…" Valerie said plaintively. "I can't stand up…"
"Valerie, what are you complaining about? You are sitting."
They all laughed.
"Come on, up, let's see a sunrise in the west, never seen before," Sev proposed.
All seven jumped up.
"It's true... I hadn't realized..." Valerie said, very excited. "How many surprises are you capable of giving us a day, Prince?"
"Countless."
