There's a fucking higher power that hates me, I just know it.
My dorm-mates have started their usual yule time prank fest, which entails this time around setting releasing each house animal in every class in our year and above. It would be bad enough to deal with errant eagle poop and surprisingly ferocious badgers, but the snakes.
Sure the snakes weren't poisonous, I'm sure that was because of the little influence Remus had on his friends. Still doesn't make the snakes any friendlier, as they went on a bite fest, clamping down on everyone.
I mean everyone, sure I could've commanded them to piss off, but that would mean outing myself out as a Parselmouth, yep I would rather be bitten by a few pests than deal with that hassle.
Boy McGonagall was majorly PO at them, I still haven't seen them once in the dorm room after classes.
Another odd thing that happened was when Regulus seemed almost skittish when he handed me a note to meet up in an abandoned classroom and my dumb, stupid arse saw nothing to question when I walked through the desolate area.
Bellatrix Black's wand slammed a locking charm on the door the moment I walked into the room.
"I'm going to punch Reg." I groaned as the bitch-witch stalked towards me.
She tutted, "I promised my cousin we would come to an accord. For some reason he wants us to get along." She rolled her eyes.
I shrugged exaggeratedly, "So what happens now, I would rather we go back to ignoring each other."
As she walked towards me, I reversed till I could feel the door against my back, even then she continued to close the gap, till the scent of rain hitting the ground invaded my nostrils.
"Is it so easy for you?" She asked in a rare amount of calm I didn't know she could muster.
"What else could we do?" I asked.
She steeled herself and handed me a piece of black cloth.
I scrunched up my face in confusion before inspecting the cloth, my confusion only furthered with a mix of shock as I realised what it was.
"Why are you handing me underwear?"
Her face blank as her jaw clenched, I expected her to lash out and when she closed the gap completely pressing her lithe body against mine, I sure as hell didn't expect her hands to latch onto the buckle of my belt.
"They're mine, the ones I was wearing today." My eyes wandered down to the gap between her thigh-high socks and her skirt.
I swallowed a lump in my throat at the thought of her not wearing underwear right about now, but I suppose it's not really thought with it being true in present company.
My thoughts came to a blaring halt when her hands brushed against the swelling in my trousers, "What kind of fucking belt is this?" She growled in contempt.
My hands caught her dainty wrist, "You try bunking with Potter and not get paranoid about being pantsed." I shook my head trying to force my mind to get back to the pressing matters at the moment, "What the fuck are you doing?"
"We're about to plough each other then we can forget about the brief pause of madness that we both are currently going through."
"What being attracted to each other? How is that madness?"
A cruel smile appeared on her face, "Well you would have excellent taste but for me to be sullied by my attraction is a problem."
A spike of anger washed through me, "Oh you are such a fucking bitch." I spat out grinding my teeth as I stared into her purple eyes.
"Fucking Mongrel." She spat back.
The warded room fell silent with our heavy breathing filling the room, "Conditions?" I reluctantly asked.
"No kissing." She said with a hint of disgust.
"Anything else?"
"Everything else is on the table." She said with an evil grin.
"Good." I matched her expression, before snaking my hands underneath her pert butt and grabbing a fist full of the flesh, kneading my fingers into her skin as I walked us over towards the large and freshly cleaned desk.
If any had asked me if I'd ever get on my knees in front of Bellatrix, if would imply that my looming death would have been involved, yet right now all I could think of was her tantalizing lips as she spread her knees apart.
Unlike the wild mane on her head, she kept herself smooth down here.
Burying my face into her slit, my tongue probed her opening, lapping at the taste and not misliking it. Yet I wasn't able to comment as she then pushed my head further into her, nails gripping the back of my head.
Hissing into her dripping cunt with my parceltongue ability, caused her to quickly shuddered with a breath moan after moan, till a gush of fluid escaped her snatch. She must have been preoccupied with the orgasm to realise what I had just used to bring her into the state she was in currently.
Releasing her hold on me her legs went slack as she leaned back on the desk, getting back onto my feet, I was beyond distracted by her divine form, during the process of licking and sucking at her snatch, she had disregarded her tie and shirt, her lacy bra was displaced showcasing her breast and gaining my sole attention.
As her chest heaved, the swelling in my pants became unbearable, begging to be freed, obliging my second mind, I undid the rune on the belt and shucked off all articles of clothing on me.
Standing bare in front of her prone and dazed form, throwing her skirt upwards and grabbing her by the hips I dragged her body to the edge of the desk, running a finger across her clit, she let out a shiver at the touch bringing somewhat of a semblance to her mind.
Bellatrix arched her upper torso up, and as her eyes racked all over my naked form, she bit her lower lip, desire burning in her eyes as they lingered on the erect cock. The tip kissing her lower lips, we both quivered in bliss.
"Do it, mongrel." Her command was all I needed as I impaled the entirety of my length into her.
A guttural moan escaped her as she reared her upper torso up until her supple form crashed into my body.
The tightness of her cunt eroded any intelligent thought I had as of this moment, which to be fair, there weren't many, but even still all I could think of as of now was rocking my hips so I could bury myself further into her.
She seemed to agree, despite the initial painful grimace on her, she still rocked her hips in tandem with my motions as she wrapped her heavenly legs around my waist, the grimace turned to pleasure and she wrapped her arms around my neck, bringing her face a hair's breadth away from my own.
And as amber met purple, she smirked, it was an evil-looking thing, and gods why did my cock twitch inside her from the look alone? Why did the night where this sudden madness seed from also flash through my mind?
She shouldn't have been able to if I was in a sound state of mind, but when her legilimency probe grazed my mind she saw snippets of my mind, a similar state of closeness though clothed and wielding a knife, Bellatrix let out a queer laugh and then I felt a sharp pain in my back as her fingernails dug into my skin.
"Bitch." I growled in response.
"Bite me." She leered with gammy victory.
Something I returned to her confusion, "As you wish." Cocking my head to the side, my teeth pressed into her neck with the same strength she put into her racking her nails into me.
Her moans of pleasure and pain egged me on, which she then returned full fold. All the while our hips rocked with the motions of each other.
She let out a small hiss as she jostled her shoulder putting on her bra, "You really are a mongrel. Who bites?" She said in a hoarse voice.
I turned my neck to the side to show her scratches, "Pot meet kettle."
A laugh escaped me which only turned her grimace a wee bit more sourer, "What are you laughing at."
"It's funny to me that I've lost my virginity before having my first kiss."
Her face becomes a blank slate, "Don't get any ideas." She warned.
I scoffed, "Don't flatter yourself." I said despite my eyes drinking in the image of her half-dressed and with the way her eyes twitched she was doing the same to me.
"Fuck." A groan escaped me as she looked furious and frustrated at the same time, "I thought this was supposed to deal with our attraction problem." She nodded in agreement as the heat between us was still an apparent problem.
She faced me as she looks like she was going to suck on a lemon, "We could continue to do this." She uttered in a low voice.
Wasn't she engaged? Or engaged to be engaged?
"What are the rules?" I questioned knowing full well we aren't a couple but just two people who hate each other but like fucking each other to oblivion.
"No kissing."
I nodded in frustration, "Yeah clearly, no kissing."
"When one of us wants it, we pass the other a note for a time and place, other than that there's no difference in whatever consists our relationship." She said the last word in disgust.
"Oh, shit." A tidal wave of dread hit me washing away all feelings of bliss I was feeling, "I didn't take any take prevent potions." I received the sex talk twice before, one from a mum who claimed that sex was something anyone under the age of twenty would lose their genitals.
Then there was the one I got from uncle Artic who rolled his eyes at mum hypocrisy and explained all I needed to know and the correct preventative measures I would need to take. As well as explaining how to pleasure a woman. Boy was it awkward, yet I was thankfully for it, so I kept my smart mouth shut and asked valid questions.
"Do you really believe I'm that stupid, that I would fuck you and not think of the consequences, how stupid do you think I am? I borrowed a few potions from my sister." She said setting my nerves back, oh the rumours about Tonks and Andromeda may have some water to it then.
"No, no your lack of intelligence stems from your breeding than your lack of aptitude."
"That was an elongated way of calling me inbred."
"Hey look at that, you're learning." I cocked my head to the side with a shit-eating grin.
She grits her teeth and undid her previously done-up shirt, "Get ready, Mongrel."
Lily let out a hiss as she reached up and pulled my shirt collar to the side revealing the scratches Black left, "Alton, what happened?"
"One of the badgers Potter and the gang let loose nicked me," I said without missing a beat as I pulled away from her grip hoping she didn't get a good enough look to notice the scratches were clearly inflicted by a person, a very bitchy person with the temperate of a badger.
Hopefully said bitch would wear a scarf to my marks.
Persuasion Check Pass
"Potter is such a tosser. How could he possibly think that was a good prank?"
I shrugged non-committally, "Eh, Potter has a strange sense of humour, and nobody was seriously hurt."
As if on cue Flich, a man clearly unfit to be caretaker in a school full of magical children came rushing out of a classroom with a few snakes wrangled in a burlap bag. The higher fates tested me yet again as a snake seeped out of the bag and slithered away from the man, towards us.
The snake spotting us must have acted on its flight or fight instincts as it reared its head back, getting ready to clamp its fangs into Lily's leg. Well fuck the higher power, I slid my wand out of inventory and hit the snake with a 'Cutting curse' before the snake could harm my friend.
"Thank you, Alton," Lily whispered as her hand was still clamped to my upper arm.
Flitch cursed as he chased after all the other snakes that escaped. Why did they assign a squib of all people to wrangle the animals, I'll never know.
"Come on, Lily we should head on else we'll be late."
"Or else." Lily corrected.
The walk towards the care of magical creatures designated area was brief and without an event, a fucking miracle for me as of late.
A cold winter breeze hit my bare face but for the most, I was able to ignore it with my enchanted clothes. Lily gave me a bright smile as she also ignored the cold weather with her newly minted clothes.
Professor Hune greeted us with a smile showcasing a few of her freshly missing teeth, looks like she got conked in the face by whatever creature we're learning about today.
"Alton, Lily, so glad you two could join us." She said in a light teasing tone.
"Sorry professor, we ran into a snake and it tried to attack us," Lily said in a calm voice but I could see her hands clench as she saw Potter lingering in the background.
"Ah," Professor Hune nodded in understanding and waved for us to join the rest of the class.
As we did Potter shuffled over beside me, "Hey Alton… Lily." Lily looked away with an angry huff.
"Potter," I greeted back, "You look tired." I winced as the words left my mouth, I'm bad at this.
"Professor McGonagall is cracking the whip."
Lily clenched her teeth as she looked towards Potter, "It's the least you deserve."
Potter looked like a kicked puppy as he observed his feet while walking back to our dorm mates.
"Well now that everyone is here," Professor Hune clapped her hands together before pulling her wand summoning a series of cages covered in tarps.
The quiet outdoor area was suddenly filled with the sounds of angry hisses, that somehow at the same time sounded like angry grunts.
"Now I putting a lot of trust in you students, and I expect you all to be on your best behaviour, listening to my orders to the tee." Professor Hune said before flicking her wand and pulling off the tarps revealing three large snake-like bodies with a trio of heads on them each.
Runespoor's.
"Fuck everything and everyone."
Lily Evans POV
"I'll excuse your language this time around, Alton." Professor Hune gave Alton an amused smile as the boy… man cursed out loud.
Because that's what Alton is compared to the boys in our year. I am glad to say I have gotten to know him this year round, I used to assume he was a careless, heartless cad, who hates just about everyone, but that all changed when he helped me fight Nott and his goons.
I got to know Alton, I got to know that underneath his tough and prickly exterior, there are more thorns in the interior. He doesn't have a heart of gold that is conditional to whether he likes you, he is very much genuine all around.
He doesn't bully and prank all those around him and then turns a switch and acts like a decent person when he starts to think with his male parts. He doesn't smile and cow his head when he says what he thinks I want to hear, only to turn around and be harsh to others with my 'blood status.'
Alton is prickly with the smallest tones of sweetness all around, he helps when he can without asking, and when you do ask him, he will go above and beyond but all the while he will grunt and swear with no filter, he will and does make me laugh despite not meaning too, his humour is dry and when he chooses to be, witty.
"Now can anyone other than Alton tell me what these creatures are?" Alton huffed as he rolled his captivating amber eyes. Professor Hune never picks Alton for the very reason that he could probably do her job, and that's not my bias when talking about my new friend, he may not be the most studious of students but he far excels in two fields of magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures.
"Runespoor's Professor." Andromeda Black said with a small raise of her hand as she gave the perky good-natured professor an 'are you mad' look.
"Professor, did you line the cages with vulpine piss?"
Professor Hune gave Alton a flat stare, "I don't know whether to give or take house points away from you."
"Professor." Alton sounded as if was warning the professor.
"Mister Geur," Professor Hune returned the warning tone back, "Not that I need to state this but I am well versed in creature knowledge and I have taken all precautions needed. I doused the tarps with vulpine extract."
Alton's flat gaze filtered to the quiet cages, "Just the tarps?" The whole class, Professor Hune included turned their gazes to the snake-like creatures, as they slithered out of the dripping melted cages.
"Runespoor venom is acidic to the touch, but fox piss is a natural solution to counteract the acidity." In his sheer audacity, Alton said in a calm and measured voice as the creatures slithered to us.
I clamped a hand to Alton's hand and dragged him back, the chimaera was one thing, we lucked out with it being a fairly young creature with our numbers greatly favouring us, but the nine heads sent a churn in my stomach as they looked at all of us in a primal hunger.
Professor Hune sent out a spell hitting the closest runespoor to her, only for the beast to continue on not at all bothered by the burst of magic.
"Magic resistant, you'll need to be a hammer amongst screwdrivers to harm them." Whatever that means he whispered without a shred of worry or fear.
Then the strangest thing happened, during the commotion of everyone panicking and scrambling away, the runespoor's stopped their stalks as all eighteen eyes zeroed onto Alton.
A hissing Alton. He wasn't hissing in pain or some sort of fear-rendered noise, he was hissing as if he was a snake, and the funny thing was the runespoor's were looking at him as if they could understand whatever nonsense Alton was doing.
As I looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was, I could feel a sense of dread, fear and hate coming off everyone barring a few other muggleborns as they stared at Alton, and he must have noticed himself despite not taking his eyes off the beasts as he let go of my hand not before giving it one last squeeze.
Alton walked towards the Forbidden Forest and the runespoor's followed alongside him, not paying anyone attention, at first perhaps he had simply distracted them, but now I can safely say they were listening to the wonderful person as they followed after him, yet when I caught a glimpse of Alton's face as he disappeared in the tree line did he look almost scared.
Before I could chase after him, Severus rushed towards me breaking the one week old silent treatment, "Lily no." He pleaded catching my hand, giving me a brief pause to hear words of fear and disgust on the lips of all the pure and half-bloods alike.
"Sev let me go." I snatched my hand back, "I need to check on Alton."
Sev looked at hurt as I recoiled away from him but I really don't have the time to deal with this all right now, "You need to stay away from Geur. He's a parslemouth." Sev snapped at me.
"A what?"
"It means he can talk to snakes and other serpent creatures," He shook his head, "but that's not the point, it's also a sign for a dark wizard."
Giving Severus an angry stare I tried and failed to withhold the angry emotion that just surged, "What a load of bullocks." Severus recoiled back in shock as the curse left my mouth but I didn't give him another chance to react, "Alton is anything but a dark wizard, a moody prickly git sure, but not dark."
"Snape leave the mudblood be, we have better things to discuss," Nott said with crooked teeth clenched in anger. A lot of the Slythrines look like the majority of them are in disbelief rather than fearful like the rest of my house.
Severus glanced back at Nott with an annoyed gleam in his eyes, "I'm explaining to the mudb…" His eyes widened in shock and fear as his gaze snapped back to me, he reached out a hand but before he could touch me I smacked his hand away.
Betrayal seeped into my soul, "How could you?"
"It was a slip of the tongue, I caught myself." He shakily explained.
"Is that supposed to make it any better?" I snapped with fury.
Before he could open his gob I turned my back and rushed away from the rest of my class, but as I did I heard the sounds of hurried footsteps, "Leave me alone!" I screamed as I whirled around.
"Merlin's saggy left tit," Sirius covered his ears as Remus rolled his eyes at his friend's words.
"Sirius shut up." Remus turned to me after he was done to see if anyone else had followed us, "Come on, Alton is heading to Professor McGonagall's classroom."
"How do you know that?" Alton didn't come back nor did he speak to Remus at any point today.
Said scarred boy squirmed in place but Sirius opened his mouth to respond, "It's the only logical choice, she is our head of house after all, nobody would mess with one of her lions right in front of her." Sirius's reasoning is sound but I can't shake off the feeling they're hiding something.
"Come on let's hurry then."

Professor McGonagall looked up from her papers with a confused expression, "Can I help, Mr Geur?"
I let out a sigh, "I'm sorry professor. I just needed a place where I could clear my head without hassle."
"Well, I'm sure, anywhere would suffice." She snipped with the grace and authority only she could pull off.
"Sorry professor." As I moved towards the door her voice stopped me.
"Mr Geur, you're supposed to be in class are you not?"
"Yes, professor." I nodded my head and avoided her gaze.
"Detention as of now." She waved at a desk in front of her larger one, "Sit there and catch up on some readings or else I will assign you some."
I gave the woman a kind smile, "Thank you, professor."
She let out a haughty chuckle, "The first time I've been thanked for a detention." Her amusement faded away, "Do you wish to talk instead?"
Brain don't fail me now, "I'm a largemouth." I blurted without thought.
She let out a noise of disappointment, "Mr Geur, if you don't wish to speak-"
"Alton." Lily barged in with Remus and Sirius quick on her tail. Before I could respond Lily rushed over to me and slammed her petite body into mine, wrapping her hands around my waist, "Why would you run away? Are you alright?"
I gently pried her off me, "Lils, you wouldn't understand but what I am comes with fear and distrust from most." History marred the ability with a black mark, wasn't there a subsidiary of magic of an immoral nature linked to the ability?
"People who will not give a chance to get to know you are not worth you paying them any mind." She said with a wisdom that I found both endearing and annoying.
Sighing deeply I locked eyes with her, "Lils being a parslemouth spells trouble and just in the terms of my supposed sketchy morality."
"Can someone explain what is going on?" Professor McGonagall waited patiently beforehand but no one acknowledged she seemed to be at the end of a tether, so we were clearly in danger.
"Alton can command slimy gross creatures." Sirius then turned to me, "Oh my family are going to love you, you know if you weren't a half-blood." He gave me a shit-eating grin that I didn't mind so much right now.
Professor gave Sirius a warning look before turning to Remus, "Mr Lupin explain." She commanded.
"Alton is a parsletongue." Remus tried to keep his voice as nonchalant as possible, "Professor Hune brought in three runespoor's but they escaped and Alton stopped them from killing us."
Professor McGonagall mouth went slack as she turned a pleading gaze to Lily, "What they said."
Our head of house finally turned to me, "This week your dorm mates let loose wild animals in our school and somehow and you have topped them this week for being spectacular."
Despite her words, she showed no sign of hostility or fear.
"Sorry professor," I said with a grin as Sirius cursed her statement.
