Luck
Sev woke up in the same position and looked at his clock. Well, half past seven, I've slept eight hours, wonderful. And Hippolyta is still asleep, she's been asleep for more than nine, poor girl. Indeed she needed to rest, poor thing.
I'll go to the bathroom while she's still sleeping, so I don't waste a minute when she wakes up. He got up very carefully, went to the bathroom, turned off the alarm clock and got back into bed with the same care, but the bed was very soft and the girl thrashed around while he got into bed.
Ugh… I already woke her up, I shouldn't have gone. He hugged her again, she held his arm close to her.
"Prince…"
"Keep sleeping, honey, sorry for waking you up, there's still a little while left."
"No... I also want to hug you and look at you…"
"No, honey, sleep a little more, come on, you haven't woken up by yourself," said Sev. "Come on, sleep a little more."
"What time is it?"
"Seven o'clock. There is still plenty of time, sleep."
"You're going to be bored..." she lamented.
"No, Hippolyta, I'm not bored. How many times do I have to tell you? Sleep, come on."
"What rich skin warmth."
"Of course, honey, for me too," he agreed.
"Did you see how I was right?"
"Of course, I'm very silly."
"And what Sirius said hasn't happened to you," the girl said.
"No, it hasn't happened to me. Come on, less talk, go to sleep."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I've already woken up completely."
"Ugh, Hippolyta... look, I told you right away, that you should continue sleeping."
"I'm not tired anymore, Prince, I'm fine, and I already told you last night. It's also important to care about each other, not just eat and rest."
"Okay, Hippolyta, you're right."
"Besides, this way we have a lot of cuddling time awake," excited.
"Not so much, it's not seven, it's past seven thirty."
"You lied to me…" she was disappointed. She turned to him.
"So you could continue sleeping."
"That shouldn't be one."
"Yes, that should be done as long as they are not serious things," said Sev. "To take care of others, from time to time you can lie to them, like you when you didn't tell me that you had cried a lot at the party."
"Sure…"
"Let's hug each other, come on."
"First a good morning peck, the number seven, good luck," she asked.
Sev laughed. "Hippolyta, are you going to count all the pecks we give each other?"
"Of course, at least until the twenty-seventh."
"Okay…"
They gave it to each other and hugged each other.
"Mmm... how delicious..." he said.
"Have you seen that now I have given it to you differently?"
"Yes I saw it."
"Pouting, like you. How do you like it better?" asked Hippolyta.
"As you like better."
"My Dad gives them to me with a pout and my Mum without."
"And how do you like them better?" he asked.
"Both ways."
"Okay, then I'll give them to you both ways too."
"The next one without pouts," the girl proposed.
"Okay. You plan everything, Hippolyta, that's not natural."
"It's so that we both do it the same, otherwise it's not funny."
"It's funnier if it's unexpected," Sev objected.
"Not always, you already saw it yesterday with the songs. It was better to plan the piece that each of us sang."
"You're right. Did you have fun?"
"I had a blast, Prince."
"I wanted to take you to sing ever since we went to the pond the first day."
"Of course, that's why you appoint me at the entrance to the third floor passage."
"Spot on, Hippolyta. What a memory you have."
"I already told you that I was not going to forget anything that happened to me with you. You don't forget it either."
"But it is not my merit, I have the power of one of those ancient magics that I told you about yesterday."
"Oh really?" she was interested.
"Yes, I did a ritual in a cave and now I remember everything in detail, everything that happens to me and what ever happened to me in my life."
"Prince... I want to do it too... so I will remember everything, everything."
"I will take you in September, Hippolyta. The cave is far inside the Room of Requirement, there is a lot of walking uphill and it is hot now. We will go in September with Ariel and Sirius, we will have a great time."
"How many plans, how many plans…"
"Where I am going to take you is to a sacred tree, to acquire other powers."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, the magic of the Druids," he explained. "The mastery of nature and my innate talents."
"What is innate?"
"Those who were born."
"Wooow, Prince... then I'll be an ace like you."
"You already are Hippolyta, you don't need me to be an ace."
"And which tree are you going to take me to?"
"To your sacred tree of the Druids, the tree of your birthday, the most sacred to them, the oak."
"Wow, Prince... In the forests of Godric's Hollow there are many oak trees."
"And also in the Forbidden Forest. But we will go to the forest in the Room of Requirement tonight, while the others make dinner."
"We shouldn't, we should help."
"We'll help prepare it and when it is underway we'll run away," Sev suggested. "Do you help your Mum do things around the house?"
"Not much, because she makes them with magic, but I am with her and I pay attention to how she makes them to learn how to make them myself. I already told you that I want to be independent."
"I know how to do everything the Muggle way."
"Then I will teach you how to do them with magic and you will teach me how to do them Muggle way, so we will know both ways," she proposed.
"Sure."
"In case we have to hide when we go to university and have Muggle friends."
"Very well thought out, Hippolyta."
"And you'll learn to make them with magic for when you have to take care of our children."
"Oh... Have you already thought that you do want to have children?"
"Yes, I do, Prince, I thought about it last night at dinner. I wanted to tell you before going to sleep, but I didn't have time."
Sev laughed and hugged her tighter, placing many kisses on her head. "Thank you very much, honey, but you didn't need to think about it so quickly. You still have many years ahead of you, you will have much more time to think about it well. That's something you have to think about even better than whether you have a boyfriend or not. You can stop loving a boyfriend and forget about him, but you can never do that with a child, you have to take care of them until they are independent and even after."
"Sure…"
"It's something for life."
"But I think I'm going to want to, huh Prince?" said the girl. "Because I didn't just think about you and me, I also thought about my parents. My parents don't have any more children, they only have me, and if I don't have children, they are not going to have grandchildren, and my grandparents also love me very much. It would give my parents great joy to have grandchildren."
"Very well thought. But if you have children, you shouldn't do it for anyone but yourself. If your parents only had you, it was also because they decided that way, and you should be as you are and not do something so transcendental for other people, neither for your parents, nor for me, so keep thinking about it very well and for many years. For the moment, we have to wait until we finish school, for the war to end and for us to study that Muggle career. You still have thirty years of time ahead of you."
"You're right, Prince. And besides, if I do well with Quidditch, if I win the World Cup and all that and I can help my parents, they will still have time to have another child. My Mum is still very young, she turns thirty-three this summer, good luck."
"Wow… your Mum had you very young," he commented.
"Of course, I already told you, that she got pregnant right after leaving Hogwarts. She had me at eighteen, and my Dad at twenty-one, lucky.
"Wow... Can you tell me the story of your family?"
"Of course, Prince. My Dad has an older brother, who is not married and has no children. He has a good job, he studied the NEWT of Transfiguration, because he didn't want to take over my grandfather's bookstore."
"Oh…"
"Then the bookstore was left for my Dad, he did like it, he really likes books, that's why he didn't study more. He took the Muggle Studies NEWT and started working at the bookstore as soon as he graduated," she continued.
"Sure. So surely your Dad knew the history of the Amazons, that's why they gave you that name."
"Surely, I had already thought about it, but they have never told me that story."
"Because you were already going to be a warrior, so as not to encourage you even more about the war that is upon us," Sev deduced. "Your parents don't want you to be a warrior."
"Of course, that's why I won't participate in battles either. Look for them at their homes, catch them by surprise, much safer. I have to stay alive at all costs, Prince."
"I like it that way, honey."
"I keep telling you. My Mum does have a sister younger than her with younger children, my cousins, who have not yet come to Hogwarts."
"Sure."
"I am the only granddaughter of my paternal grandparents and I was the first of the maternal ones, that is why my grandparents love me so much," the girl went on.
"Sure."
"My Mum studied the NEWT of Charms, that's why she knows how to do everything around the house so well. She would have been able to work if she had continued studying, like my aunt did, who studied Medimagic and works at St. Mungo's."
"Wow... your aunt works at St. Mungo's," he commented.
"Yes, she is a healer of children."
"How beautiful."
"I also thought of her when Sirius told me that there are independent women with children."
"Of course, Hippolyta, there you have it."
"I keep telling you. My paternal grandparents lived in the house I live in now with my parents. When my Mum graduated and they got married, they left it to them and they went to live with my uncle, who is not married."
"How awesome…"
"Of course, because my parents wanted to get married right away and have me, remember that they spent three years only seeing each other on trips to Hogsmeade and on holidays," she explained.
"Sure…"
"And also, my Dad is my grandpa's favorite son, because of the bookstore and because he is the one who gave him a granddaughter, and my uncle also loves me very, very much, I am his only niece."
"Sure."
"My Dad's family is a very united family, we see each other very often," Hippolyta continued. "My grandpa still worked a few more years in the bookstore, so that my Dad would have more time to spend with me, but money was everything for us, because I was already born, my paternal grandparents live off what my uncle earns."
"How awesome…"
"I think that's also why he hasn't gotten married, it makes me very sad."
"The one who never planned to get married or have children," commented Sev.
"But since we loved each other I've had a lot of time to think about those things, Prince, it's not good to be alone. When my grandparents die my uncle will be alone."
"He will not be left alone, he will have your parents and he will have you."
"Of course, and you," she said.
"Of course, and me. Do you realize now how important you are to many people, Hippolyta? Not just your parents and me, but also your grandparents and your uncles."
"Yes, Prince, that's why I told you, to stay alive at all costs. And now that I realize, you already knew all this, I didn't occlude it yesterday."
Sev laughed. "Wow, Hippolyta... you got me. How smart you are."
"I'm a bit stupid, it was difficult for me, huh?"
"No, it was good, because we had to talk about it."
"Well, it's better not to waste time with things we already know, don't you think? What time is it?" asked the girl.
"Ten to eight."
She separated from him. "The remaining time we look at each other. Second peck, the eighth, without snouts."
They gave it to each other.
"Wow... it's richer that way..." he said.
"Of course, silly, that's why I always gave them to you like that."
"And why did you tell me before that you didn't care?"
"In case it bothers you, because everything gives you trouble," she replied. "I'm sure it's giving you trouble because now you can see me because I've separated from you. You just look at my face."
"Well yes, Hippolyta, you are right."
"Let's see if your trouble goes away, huh? I don't have any, I do want to see you. Spread out more."
Oh… "Do you want me to get out of bed?" Sev asked.
"If you're not cold, yes. So you don't see me and I see you. You miss it."
Booff… she puts me against the ropes. He got out of bed and lay on his side facing her. Hippolyta wrapped the bedclothes around her. She looked at him for several minutes, all over his body, without saying anything else.
Wow… how she looks at me. She must have only seen one almost naked man in her life, his father, and he is very thin and lanky.
"Let me know at eight o'clock," she told him.
"Sure."
"Can I touch you now?"
"Of course," he agreed.
She took out her right arm, covering herself with her left, and firmly felt his chest, his belly, his arms, for a few more minutes. The same thing, she continues to amaze, she barely has anything to compare it with but she still knows how to appreciate it. Wow, wow…
When he heard the Tower clock tick, said to her, "Eight o'clock, Hippolyta."
She stopped touching him. "Prince," vehement. "You are very hot. You were right, I already have the desire to do boyfriend things with you again."
"Oh…"
"Peck number nine, without snouts."
They gave it to each other.
"Come on, come out of the canopy so I can get dressed," Hippolyta asked.
"I don't mind seeing you anymore, honey. You're right, I'm very silly."
She got out of bed and started to get dressed. "Well, then when I'm almost dressed you go out to keep an eye on Anthony and Jack."
"It is not necessary either. We've been chatting without Muffliato. Remember that yesterday everyone saw us go up to the bedroom together, and the whole house knows that we slept together."
"Of course, you're right, I'm so stupid."
"Also remember that I proclaimed you Head of Sly," said Sev. "If I am the Head and you are the Head, everything is already clear, right?"
"Of course, this way you get rid of the sluts, very well done. Have you thought about Cecile?"
"Yes, I thought about it last night when you fell asleep. I wouldn't mind, I think it's a good idea."
"Then tonight I'll talk to her about it, so that she can ask Remus for permission and you won't be in such a embarrassment," the girl suggested.
"Okay, do it."
"You see that I'm asking you everything, huh? Although I am already an occlumant, I tell you everything important. I'm not going to do anything more behind your back."
"I think it's great," he approved. "Maybe we'll see Cecile even earlier, maybe this afternoon, to look for an instrument for you."
"Sure... Do you see? That's what I wanted to talk to you about before too, when you asked me if I had a good time yesterday, but you got involved with things that you already knew about my family and we haven't talked about what's important. How are you going to meet Cecile if you can't see her?"
"We have another power of ancient magic. We can talk with our minds, like Sirius did with us yesterday."
"Wow... that's cool, Prince... And can you teach me that? It is very difficult?"
"Of course I can teach you. It is not difficult at all, the power is acquired instantly when you love someone, just chanting a spell."
"Wow, Prince… great. Then we'll do it as soon as I get back from my interview with Slughorn."
"Of course we're going to do it."
"What an advantage it is to be an occlumant, because I imagine I must also occlude everything you have told me about ancient magic, right?"
"Yes, honey, that's right," Sev confirmed.
"What a bargain. In the end the slut Lestrange gave me luck, who knows how long it would have taken you to teach me Occlumency if it weren't for her."
"Spot on, Hippolyta. The slut has given us luck."
