Chapter Eight
Harry
New year's eve was always a bittersweet part of the end of the year, on the one hand all of the accomplishments throughout the year that brought us joy. There is also the inevitable sadness which strikes most people through the year in some capacity but the New Year was particularly painful. My greatest triumph however I am holding in my hands for Narcissa. We were all leaving in two hours to go dancing and drinking in Edinburgh.
Hermione, Minerva, Rolanda, Aurora and Septima from the castle aswell as Andromeda, Kingsley with Bill Weasley who was Kingsley Head of Security and Fleur his wife. Draco, Astoria, Theo, Daphne and Blaise with Luna. We were meeting them at a Muggle nightclub, apparently Rolandas latest conquest owns it. It came to everyones surprise when we left school the sexuality of the Flying Instructor was always an interesting topic of conversation.
Men, Women, Trans she does not discriminate. Walking down to the dungeons in a last ditch attempt to convince Narcissa to come with us. I created something with Hermiones help which I hope will help Narcissa adjust to all that white noise.
On a long silver chain sat a oval locket with an aquamarine stone, carved into it was a Narcissus flower and enchanted to help her mind relax. Knocking on the door of her private rooms I felt a flutter of nerves in the pit of my stomach. Being in the castle for a few days I became quite accustomed to feeling her magic, knowing how close and far away she was at any given time. It was like a lojack on her which beeped in my head when she was in the vicinity.
Standing in front of that door in my jeans and black fitted shirt I could feel the pull of her getting closer and closer until her door peeked open and she stood in the doorway. Upon seeing my casual dress I could see she faltered slightly.
"Harry, you look very handsome. What time are you leaving?" She had an apron on and I could see a small glass of wine behind her aswell as the eucalyptus smell which always reminds me of her.
"That depends, how soon can you get ready?" Holding out the box toward her she crossed her arms stubbornly across her chest which of course instantly drew me to her boobs because they were magnificent. That eyebrow was raised at me and part of me was terrified and the other was hoping she would spank me. Her lips drifted upward in amusement at my pervy thoughts.
"Before you say no again, I brought you a present which should help with the noise." Reluctantly she took the box from my outstretched hand and opened it with a small gasp.
"Hermione and I made this for you, we really don't want to go without you and so think of it like magical mufflers." She lifted the locket out and held it out for me to take and she slowly turned around and lifted her hair without saying a word. It was both arousing and terrifying at the same time, when I spent any length of time with her I always feel like a nervous schoolboy and then other times I want her to strap me to her desk and have her wicked way with me.
Drifting the chain around her I softly fastened the clasp and let it drop to her skin as soon as she dropped her hair and it cascade down her back she turned abruptly before freezing in front of me. She stood as still as a statue before resting her hands over her ears and closing her eyes.
"Oh my god Harry, how did you make this?" I couldn't stop the shit eating grin that was now going to be permanent all night. It worked, the soft, awed smile that was coming from her was one I hadn't witnessed as of yet, I wanted to get this reaction everyday. Fuck was she beautiful.
"Hermione made me something similar to save you from my perverted thoughts that are too loud. Slight side effect it kin o made my magic go a bit fiery so secs working adjusting it. When you told me the reason you didn't want to go, I went to my families vault and found this. We made another one to block all wavelengths, not just mine. Are you OK?" She nodded and invited me inside her rooms and it was like stepping into Hermiones house. There was bookshelves everywhere aswell as landscape an portrait art plastered around the walls.
One caught my eye was the hogwarts skyline at dusk, all of the colours spread out across the horizon of the black lake. Papers, canvas and books spread neatly across one wall, the other wall had a small kitchen and living room with two doors off to the left which I am assuming was bathroom and bedroom.
"You and Hermione could make a fortune out of these, seriously, I have never had complete silence Harry. There has always been an underlying piece of white noise all around me and now silence. Thank You." I smiled and noticed the view on a canvas and it was the exact view from my current bedroom window, which used to be her bedroom. The thought of her painting in a silky nightdress with her long hair wrapped in a bun on the top of her head with speck of paint onher face. God I was hard in an instant and tried to hide it, think of Umbridge and Filch.
"Thank me by coming out tonight, please Hermione is gutted you weren't going. I need a dance partner and I will try not to step on your toes all night." She smirked up at me before nodding slowly, I internally fist bumped myself.
"Give me an hour to change and I will meet you at 8 in the Entrance Hall." Upon her nod I went to walk away before she grabbed my arm and again this weird thing keeps happening every time her skin touches mine. I feel goosebumps, my heart starts beating faster and willing my erection down a second ago was futile as the half erection currently in my trousers went to full steel as soon as she touched me.
"Thank you for the gift. Truly. It is not very often someone goes out of their way to make my life easier, I do appreciate it Harry. I will thank Hermione also but thank you" Her grip got somewhat tighter toward the end of her speech and as I finally got my own limbs moving I rested my free hand on top of hers and softly stroked her hand with the tips of my fingertips. Fuck her skin was so soft.
"You are very welcome. Remember to save me dance." She nodded and I left her quarters with slight difficulty considering cock wants me to turn on my heels an let her use my body for whatever fantasies she wishes. I feel happier than I have in years, working here is a big part of that but all of my interactions with her has made me feel like I am On Cloud 9 and I am going to enjoy spending even more time with her. God I feel like a perv, deciding to hurry the two lovebirds along I made my way to the headmistress office hoping they are both fully clothed at least.
The staircase moved as I approached it finding Minerva at her desk in a dark red jumpsuit thing, fuck she looked incredible. Her dark hair was in gentle waves down her back, clipped at one side and falling across her shoulders. A red lipstick and flawless make-up, I gotta say these kids have it made with the calibre of hotness. It was like the set of a teen drama with all these hot teachers.
"Headmistress, you look amazing. Is Hermione not ready yet." Her head jumped up to me and took in my appearance with a smile of approval. Standing up she greeted me with a kind hug and it was something that hadn't changed. The maternal energy that Minerva exudes hascseemd even stronger since her deaging.
"She is replying to a request for an assignment for a week in China. They found something scary and Hermione is needed apparently." Minerva seemed so proud of Hermione, it was a wonder I didn't see their fondness for each other before. Maybe it was my own idiocy that couldn't see past the age but they were kind of cute together.
" Harry, did you speak to Narcissa?" Walking down the stairs was Hermione Jean Granger in the slinkiest dress I have ever seen her wear. A black dress which was plastered to her skin sitting just above her knees and her curls sitting in perfect ringlets down her back and a pair of black skyscrapers with red soles.
"I did, she is meeting us in the Entrance Hall. Tell me Unspeakable Granger where exactly do you hide your wand in that thing?" She smiled and waved her hand across her wrist and her wand in its holster appeared before she wandlessly hid it again.
"Ollivander has these new combat wand holders which can be activated to hide your wand, they don't even feel it if you are captured. Did you convince her to come?" I nodded and she jumped and let out an excited squeal. Deciding to tease my sote slightly I hugged her and smirked.
"You're lucky I think of you as my sister because the way you're wrapped around me right now is making me realise I miss sex." Minerva came walking over to us with a jealous glare at me. Just as Hermione jumped away from me in disgust, I could see the softest of touches from Minerva to Hermiones back.
"Eww Harry, go and shag something then before my girlfriend punches you." Minerva shook her head at our antics before pulling that stern voice with us. It made you both enthralled and ready to shit yourself at the same time.
"Honestly, am I not supposed to be getting a night off from teaching this evening? Do I need to dole out detentions to both of you to get my point across?" Both of us shook our heads sheepishly at her before I whispered into Hermiones ear.
"Does she do that stern Headmistress voice when you sleep together? God Hermione. You better not fuck this up." She slapped me on the arm. Earning the attention of Minerva was not intentional, luckily the FLOO came to life and Rolanda, Septima and Aurora.
The rest were meeting us there as most of the staff were still with family for New Year. Rolanda rocked up with a bottle of whiskey sandwiched between Aurora and Septima who I didn't know until recently were also a a couple.
Drinks started flowing as the House elves it seems wanted to be useful, some light snacks were floated around aswell as automatic refills from your drink as you drain the last drop. Soft music started playing in the background and before we knew it we all started making our way through the castle.
Knowing the children were safe in the room of Requirement, under the watchful eye of the rest of the staff. I still couldn't stop myself from checking the map as I left, Hermione took the Map with her in her Eighth year and mapped the entire school to update the map. There was so much the school that was undiscovered but thd castle seems to guide Hermione all through the year.
Everytime I bring the map out it always earned awed looks and some were surprised at who made it. Sirius apparently though talented in his classes he was also a troublemaker and squandered his magical talent. Most sung Remus Lupins praises academically so he wasn't to surprising and most even agreed that although intelligent in most subjects James Potter seemed to not take it seriously until his last year.
Seeing all of the children safe the large and some of us slighty intoxicated or on our way to being made our way out. It took us a while to get to the Entrance Hall. No sign of Narcissa as of yet and I started to worry. Did she chicken out on me? MerIin, I hope not. Gathering in a large group soft shuffling of feet and light chatting was all that was echoing but in the distance I heard the soft click clack of heels and the feel of her magic coming from the dungeons and the smile on my face was already plastered on as she came around the corner.
Navy blue shoes was all I could see at first, the makers of the noise looked high and uncomfortable and yet she had mastered walking around, this castle in them over the years. One long,bare luscious leg peeking out from a silver dress which draped down one side but seemed shorter on the other. The entire view was blocked by a black coat, her soft blonde hair loose and poker straight in a middle parting.
She looked like some sort of slavic ice princess come to enslave us. Meeting her face she also had a grin on her face as she got closer to me, the shrill of Hermione as she spotted her was enough to break our bubble we created between us.
"CISSA! I am so glad you decided to come, you look amazing." As she tucked Narcissa into her side they both approached me and I heard the blonde beauty thank her for the necklace that was resting against her chest and nodded at her as she caught my eyes.
"She is right you look stunning." Hermione seemed to get the hint and went go join Minerva. I could see Rolanda giving Narcissa the once over and smiling at her.
"It's a shame you don't bat for my team Narcissa, that dress is wasted on men." Narcissa smiled at Rolanda and wrapped her coat closer around her neck.
As everyone slowly made their way outside and began the walk to the ward boundary where we would be getting the Knight Bus. I held my arm our for her we started walking down the pathway to the boundary of the castle to catch the bus.
"God it's brisk tonight." Rolanda reminded me of Tonks slightly, she was clumsy walking on her own two feet but could definitely handle herself on a broom and with a wand. Light chatter from everyone as we walked down and it felt good just getting out, it was a nice icebreaker for me to get to know some of my new colleagues in not a student capacity.
The feel of Narcissas gloved hand against my own covered arms felt nice, she was tiny, the waist of her coat sinched in and realistically the fact that she was a fierce and formidable witch in her own right but she was wrapped up in the most gorgeous figure. I was starting to notice that there was a distinct difference between a woman who hasn't had children and a woman who has.
Having spent a fair bit of time perving on the woman currently tucked against my side she was like a pixie and yet the boobs and bum that she has were amazing. Those impossibly king legs make no sense either, without those skyscrapers on she would be lucky to be 5 foot 4.
"How do you walk in those? My vertigo is kicking in watching you in them." She, smirked at me before placing her free hand on top of the other and turned slightly from the bite of the icy wind.
"Years of practice and ettiquite lessons. My mother made Walburga look like a little fluffy kitten. She expected excellence to an almost pathological degree, we were taught to walk, talk and stand like the good little girls we were. Made to stand silent and still unless spoken too, it was rather tiresome. My first set of high heels was given to me by Bella at thirteen. From then on in we didn't have a choice." I never really gave much thought to her as a young girl, I have seen photos obviously when cleaning out Grimmauld Place, knowing what kind of upbringing Sirius had then it made a lot of sense that she too didn't have it easy.
"It's a good thing we can't chose, our family. I would have preferred anyone over my aunt and uncle." She lifted her gaze to meet my own inquisitively, it was a look I had seen Teddy throw my way if he didn't understand something I was teaching him.
"Did they not care for you well?" I small scoff erupted which seemed to startle her for a second to which I apologised to her and she seemed amused for a second.
"They either used me as a slave basically or ignored my presence, the latter was the preferred choice for all parties. They hated magic, anything which was the slightest way different and they ran from it. Our neighbour kept his Christmas decorations up until after new year and the world was ending. My being magical was always a point of contention amongst them." She looked horrified, pissed and then settled on confusion.
" I lived in the wrong side of Magic for such a long time Harry, I never even thought of it the other way around. Them hating us, although there was witch trials and executions and such to drive the fear. I never would have thought that you, the saviour of our word would be treated so badly by your family." I was genuinely enjoying her company this evening and enjoying the reactions I am getting from her.
"Well trust me, if the Dursleys were my only exposure to Muggles I would have probably joined Toms merry band of misfits myself. I still talk to Dudley on occasion, my cousin. He had a daughter last year, he called her Petunia Lily, it was a nice gesture." As everyone came to a stop Minerva held out her wand arm and within seconds the bus arrived blissfully empty. Allowing all of the women on first I heard Minerva ask Ern to keep it mellow tonight to Edinburgh.
At a much slower pace than I was used to we made our way to Edinburgh, noticing an empty space beside Narcissa I squeezed in at the edge of the chair with a smile.
"I hope you don't mind? I am enjoying our conversation and getting to know you better." She nodded and took off her gloves, her nails were painted a lovely shade of blue to match her shoes, such long, dextrous fingers but dainty and feminine.
"I am enjoying getting to know you although is it true you stole Thestrals from Hogwarts?" I nodded my head at her to which her jaw dropped slightly and she shook her own head at me.
"My god what sort of antics did you get up to in school I wonder? I mean with James Potter as your father, not to mention Sirius being a large influence your first year of life it's not surprising." Hearing her talk about my father was slightly comforting.
" Did you know my father well?" She, shook her head but did smile at me as if recalling a find memory.
" Well I was head girl my last year and your parents were in fifth year I believe, I only had a few interactions with your father usually to dock points or give detentions. Your mother however I knew, quite well. She was part of Horace Slughorns club, we would have lovely conversations about books, history, art. She was incredibly talented for someone so young, her and Severus were joint at the hip for the first few years so I used to find her hanging around outside the door to the house entrance waiting on Severus." It isn't very often I come across someone with new stories of my parents to tell.
"Wow, I didn't realise you knew her." Upon her nod she held in softly to my arm gaining my attention.
"I am, sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I have a few funny ones about Sirius, Remus and your dad also. I caught them out after curfew one night, Sirius and Remus were sketchy coming back in to the castle and when they kept glancing to the Whompung willow I decided to investigate. Both of them tried to stop me of course but I stuck them both to the ground and found your father as he usually was except he had antlers coming out of his head." Knowing this was whenever they were trying to become Animagi for Remus.
The laughter poured out of me and I didn't even realise Minerva was sitting behind me until she leant forward to catch my attention over the din of everyone chatting.
"I will never forget the laughter that came from Albus and Poppy when Narcissa, came to get me and I was leading Reindeer boy to the hospital wing. I was livid they they were so irresponsible at trying to become Animagi at fifteen." I couldn't help but smile at Minerva as she told the story.
"Idiots. I called them so many names and once I finished ranting Sirius just shouts 'Minnie, don't doubt our skills because of James!' and changes flawlessly into his form." Narcissa was laughing at her the woman, glancing down I saw Hermione stroking the headmistress hand out of sight whilst having a conversation with Aurora behind her.
"God those kids, the only others to put the same amount of ire and anger in me were Fred and George who gave their uncles Gideon and Fabian a run for their money. Time surely flies a long time teaching and seeing students come and go." Hermione linked their hands without turning from her conversation. Those two were so strange almost like magnets, I have never seen any two people more in symc with each other.
Septima got Minervas attention before I turned my own back to Narcissa, she seemed more comfortable with me now, the added security blanket and probably being able to think without all the internal monologues from people.
"Most of the a Weasley Clan are popping out babies, don't you think about kids? A Potter brood of your own?" I felt my stomach drop and realistically I didn't really expect to go into too much detail about my medical life but I guess since she asked.
"Well when I was younger I was literally taking it day by day and dill wasn't even too sure I would he around long enough to think about it. After the war, Andromeda did a full physical on us and well I can't have children. Either too much trauma from repeated exposure to Crucio aswell as The Horcrux being latched around my body ad magic." Before she could say anything we had arrived at our destination, getting out in The streets of Edinburgh was chaotic but thankfully we were literally outside.
"We will finish our chat later yeah?" Upon my nod she stood and we all joined the small queue for the VIP entrance. God I can't believe this has happened but I am, dancing with Narcissa tonight at some point. The more and more time I spend with her the more fucked I realise that I am.
Watching her climb the stairs I couldn't help but watch her, god those legs would look incredible wrapped arpund me. Try and get through tonight without perving on her to much.
