"Will you get out already?" I growled for the tenth time.
"No!" Narcissa's muffled voice came from behind the wooden screen she used to cover herself.
"It's just underwear Narcissa! Get out now or you'll be late! "
"This isn't underwear Serena!" Narcissa squealed. "T-this- This is FILTH! FILTH! " This made me laugh involuntarily. "Serena!!" I rolled my eyes amused.
"That's the point Narcissa, it's lingerie, it's to look sexy before the act." I smirked at the door, Narcissa fell silent.
"... Is there no one outside? " she barely murmured.
"No, and I locked the door with magic, I even put up a sign so you can't disturb until we're done," I assured her, she was silent for another few seconds before she poked her head out first to look, her face was completely bright red, she timidly stepped out from behind the screen once she made sure she was alone, I bit my lip at the sight.
"Damn girl, you're sexy." I purred, not hiding my hungry gaze as I drank in her figure. I had transfigured Narcissa's underwear into a 21st century lingerie set, nothing I would consider scandalous, it was rather modest for my sensibilities, but for a pureblood princess like Narcissa? For a virgin teenager? Yes it was quite scandalous, it was a basic lingerie set, it was a white and baby blue lace babydoll, the bra comfortably hugged her breasts and was attached to a sheer tulle that fell down the sides of her hips, her panties were a size too small and only reached just above her pubis and were attached to two strips of string that went around her ass but hid everything important but left very little to the imagination, she had thigh high stockings attached to a light belt at belly button level, the underwear really did its job but all credit went to Narcissa, she had a very beautiful figure, porcelain skin and immaculate, she had no imperfections to the naked eye, she had curves in all the right places, not too pronounced, average really for her age but certainly what she had, was really attractive.
"SERENA!!" Narcissa squealed as her face once again exploded in red, in fact, her neck and chest were completely flushed as she tried to cover her body with both hands, failing masterfully. I could notice that she had also placed the ribbons on her arms, pure decoration, but it was certainly attractive.
"Narcissa" I called her softly "You are beautiful and sexy, don't have any doubts, I'm sure Lucius will go crazy once he sees you" I assured her and I felt a hint of jealousy from Lucius that I immediately crushed, oh, they made a cute couple and I would never get between them, but Narcissa was beautiful, there was no doubt about that.
"T-thanks Serena." She smiled shyly as she calmed down, taking a deep breath before standing in front of the mirror and looking at herself critically, her blush returning "I still can't believe muggles wear this, perverts." I snorted in amusement but didn't answer, I didn't want to tell her that it was actually unlikely that I would find this type of lingerie in muggle London, she would kill me if she knew it was something I transfigured on the spot. " Okay, I'll change and go put on some normal clothes for the date."
"What are you talking about? You're going to come out with that." I looked at her like she was stupid, Narcissa stopped in place.
"WHAT?!" I squealed as the blush returned "Are you crazy?!" she hissed mortified, I rolled my eyes.
"It's underwear Narcissa, the joke is to go out with it under your clothes, just change your bra for the other ones I let you and you're good to go."
"b-but, i-it's obscene!"
"Yeah, we've made that clear." I smirked. " And as obscene as it is, it's still underwear, unless-" I gasped fakely, "-you're flashing your underwear in public?! Narcissa, how daring!" I purred, and received a flying pillow to the face.
"Serena!!" I let out an amused laugh.
"Now seriously, put your dress on over it, it won't do any harm, the lingerie will make you feel sexy, confident and self-assured during the trip, it will also help you get used to it a little." I shrugged, well, for how little it would last her into the night, I was repeating what I heard from my friends back in my old world as I had never worn this type of clothing, the only underwear I had for now was cute and functional but nothing too daring, but it seemed to be working if Narcissa's look was any indication, she sighed.
"Alright." I sighed defeatedly, smiling victoriously before helping her pick out a much more appropriate outfit for her trip to Hogsmeade.
"Now before you go I need to go over a few things with you." Narcissa looked confused as she pulled her makeup out of her trunk, "give me that." I snatched the makeup box from her and opened it, I grimaced as I went through what she had, with a flick of my wand my own makeup flew out to me, during my makeup creation jargon I came up with a high number of supplies, even for ones that didn't suit my skin until I found the right colors for me. My skin was a lot paler than Narcissa's but I'm sure I had things that would work for her, "Sit down, I'll help you." She nodded without complaint, I quickly let my hands move over my makeup, "As I was saying, I have some advice for you."
"Advice on what? I thought you were the wrong person to ask." she snorted as she closed her eyes while I applied her makeup, I smiled amusedly.
"On dates maybe, but I wasn't talking about that." My smile grew more obscene, Narcissa shuddered even with her eyes closed. "I'm talking about sex, Narcissa."
----
I was escorting a very silent Narcissa by the arm, after her makeup I had done her hair, the whole time I made sure to tell her exactly everything a man likes to do during sex, my smile grew bigger as I remembered the absolutely horrified, mortified, disbelieving and embarrassed look on Narcissa's face the more I talked, even now she was completely red in the face and we hadn't spoken in almost 20 minutes, we were making our way to the entrance of the castle slowly and it was easy to see our target in the distance.
"Narcissa, we're here, are you ready?" I asked her with a smile, she glared at me which lost its effect due to her blush, I rolled my eyes playfully and took a cigarette out of my inventory and placed it on her lips snap I lit it quickly, she reacted immediately and took a long drag on the cigarette, the effect was almost instantaneous as the blush receded forcefully.
"You couldn't give it to me half an hour ago?" she growled annoyed as she punched my shoulder, I just kept my huge smile.
"Now where's the fun in that?" she growled at me again but took another drag, I chuckled before taking her free hand "Now seriously make sure you enjoy the ride, don't think about the rest of your night, I'll make sure everything is set up, just bring Lucius up to the seventh floor in front of the troll ballet dancing tapestry." Narcissa gave me a strange look "Yes I know, it's weird, just trust me, I wouldn't prank you, not on this day." I told her honestly, Narcissa visibly calmed down and nodded with a smile.
"Thanks for everything Serena." She smiled at me and I nodded.
"Now, go with Lucius, he's been watching us for a while now to see if he should come closer or not." Narcissa's head turned so quickly I heard it creak as she searched for Lucius, I pulled out a box of cigars and opened it to show her what was inside, at least a dozen of them, I closed it again and placed it in Narcissa's hand "For the nerves, share them with Lucius, I'm sure he'll need them too." She nodded with a grateful expression as she put the small box in one of her coat pockets, taking one last drag.
"Wish me luck." With that she began to walk in Lucius' direction, I watched from a distance as they met and smiled softly, I watched them for about 5 minutes until Narcissa offered her one of the cigars from the box, I could see the look of relief on Lucius' face as he took one, I smirked before snapping my finger and lighting it even at this distance, the pair startled before looking at me, I gave them a cocky look which made the pair roll their eyes in exasperation, one last salute and I walked away to return to the castle, I had things to prepare.
---
Preparing several dishes for dinner and desserts for two hadn't been complicated, I let Faery Feast basically guide all the movements while I was in the kitchen, the elves had been looking at me menacingly the entire time, luckily the two elves that Narcissa had tortured with her food were perfectly fine, at least physically, I don't know how mentally stable they were because they started crying as soon as they saw me .
Faery Feast, it gave me supernaturally good cooking, enough to be addictive and make someone totally dependent on my cooking, but it wasn't what I wanted, so I tried to forcefully reduce the cooking skill just to make it extremely delicious but not drug-like addictive.
I made some cookies as an apology for the elves, I had to practically beg for them to try them and assure them that no, I wasn't trying to kill them, it was well received if the tears while hugging my legs were any indication, I had trouble leaving the kitchen after that but was eventually able to escape, the rest of the preparations didn't take me that long.
The room had changed, the lights had been dimmed slightly to give a more romantic atmosphere, it had a large bed with a beautiful canopy, there was a small table to one side with two seats facing each other and the food was served on it, next to it was a small serving cart with the rest of the food, drinks and desserts in case they wanted more food at some point, there was an ornate screen to change clothes in and a door that led to a bathroom, it had a large bathtub, it wasn't as big as the one in the prefects' bathrooms but it was more than enough for two people to fit in comfortably.
Once I was done I looked at the time on my pocket watch and I still had hours to spare, I hummed as I looked around the room, there was nothing more I could do for it, it was perfect the way it was, I hummed softly, music, it needed music.
To no one's surprise, the Room of Requirement had dozens of broken instruments, a liberal use of repair charms and they were as good as new, well, some were unsalvageable even with magic, the charm certainly helped, but it couldn't make half an instrument appear out of nowhere.
Now, I had never cast the Musical Charm to enchant instruments, but I knew it, and the theory was easy, it was almost like the Patronus Charm or recalling a memory, you had to hold the tune you wanted the instruments to play and then cast the charm on the instruments.
You didn't need to know how to play said instruments, but it would make the enchantment easier because you would already know how you wanted the instruments to be played, but even without knowing anything about the instruments at all, the enchantment would work.
It was difficult to decide which songs I wanted to try it out with to see if I could get the spell to work properly, I didn't have the necessary instruments or worse, I didn't even have synthesizers or electric guitars to be able to recreate the songs I was most used to.
But I still had a wide choice and I picked one of my favorites, I walked over to the instruments and cast the incantation, the keys began to play slowly, I smiled slightly and couldn't help but join in singing in the third verse.
When we've lost all hope
And succumb to fear
As the skies rain blood
And the end draws near
I winced as my voice cracked on the first few words, but I didn't stop, The Company's Performance Talent gave me a prodigious talent in the kinesthetic arts, music being one of them and I was working overtime to help myself get used to singing, a skill I never had in my past life.
I may fall
But not like this – it won't be by your hand
I may fall
Not this place, not today
I may fall
Bring it all – it's not enough to take me down
I may fail
I May Fall , acoustic version, composer Jeff Williams, and his daughter, Casey Lee Williams, was the singer, I really loved Casey Lee Williams' voice on the entire RWBY soundtrack, it was amazing.
The more I sang, the more I got used to the sound that came out of my voice. I didn't know what was wrong with my singing, but I did know what parts I was singing wrong, so I tried to correct it simply by instinct. It improved, but not completely, but that didn't matter.
I hadn't realized how much I had missed music, I love music, but I had been so busy training my skills that it had simply slipped my mind, the worst thing is that I have my phone with the multiversal internet , music was an option, I simply... forgot.
I could feel a weight lifting off me, oh I knew I was still just as screwed under Dumbledore's watchful eye, but the singing and music was being a great stress reliever .
Once I May Fall finished my smile was splitting my face, I heard Cia and Aria clapping to the side, I gave a playful bow before touching Cia and putting on the next song.
Path to Isolation, Mirror Mirror , Mirror Mirror part II and This Life is Mine.
Mirror Song Saga Weiss' Mirror was one of my favorites, I didn't have the instruments to replicate it perfectly, but what I had was enough, my singing definitely wasn't perfect, I still sang horribly off-key on some notes and my timing was totally off, but I still sang with everything I had.
And I loved it.
I kept singing for hours, literally, I had really missed the music so I didn't mind using my gold-minds to heal my throat when it started to hurt slightly, Aria and Cia were also enjoying the private mini concert, in fact, Cia had conjured herself a small microphone and was imitating singing next to me while Aria moved around.
And don't just sing RWBY songs.
Daylight by David Kushner, Human by Rag'n'Bone , several songs from Falling in Reverse, and also lighter songs when they were demanded by the company, like Madonna and Britney Spears, my tastes were extremely varied.
I only stopped when I felt the bedroom door vibrate as it showed the image in the hallway, I could see Narcissa and Lucius looking around for me, just before it started with the musical songs, I couldn't help but pout as I stopped That Beautiful Sound of Beetlejuice and played lighter music more appropriate to Narcissa's situation.
Narcissa looked nervous as she searched for me, I chuckled as I cast a charm to wipe the sweat off my body with Cia and placed Aria on top of me once more before opening the door as they both looked away, precisely staring in disgust and confusion at Barnabas' tapestry.
"They're finally here." The pair jumped, credit to Lucius for quickly drawing his wand.
"Serena!" Narcissa shrieked.
" Merlin, Serena, where did you come from? " Lucius recovered as he put his wand away, I smiled widely and pointed at the door behind me, both of them looked at her in disbelief.
"Where did that door come from?" Narcissa asked surprised, I just smiled.
"There's no time for that, come in, come in, I've already prepared everything for you two." I insisted the pair follow me while I opened the door again.
"What is this room?" Lucius asked in surprise as he looked around.
"It's beautiful Serena." Narcissa looked touched and hugged me tightly. "Thank you, it's perfect."
"This my dear friends, is the Room of Requirement, Hogwarts makes it appear when a person is in dire need of it." I smiled widely "or, if you know how to open it, it is able to transform into any room you want, including, a room for you lovebirds to spend the night in ." The pair was in disbelief as they looked at me in surprise.
"The Room of Requirement? You're telling me you found the legendary Room of Requirement and are using it for our rendezvous? " Lucius looked almost scandalized, I rolled my eyes.
"Don't think about it, I've used it for less important things, just enjoy your evening, the room is inaccessible while you're inside, the door disappears from the outside until you decide to leave and no one knows where it is, from what I understand, so no one will bother you or interrupt you while you're here" the pair seemed surprised.
"I... thank you Serena." Lucius' look of pure gratitude made me smile, I almost regretted what I was about to do even though it was necessary, I approached the bed and picked up the small box I had left prepared and gave it to Lucius, the pair looked at me confused.
"Potions! I went through the trouble of preparing them for you" I said simply before picking one up from the spot "Contraceptive potion, I don't think you want any little Malfoys just yet." The look of pure mortification made me smile and I began to pull out more potions "This one, is for Narcissa, it will help with the pain, take it before eating along with the previous one so they take effect in time-" I took another one out "-this is lubricant, you don't drink it but apply it directly to make things slippery and easier during the act-" I took another one out of the box "-this is an aphrodisiac in case you want to light the flame if you're too nervous to start-" I grabbed another one "-this one's for Lucius in case he's not able to lift Lucius Jr. po- "
"SERENA!!!!"
"SERENA!!!!"
The utterly mortified gasp from the two of them as they blushed completely red was worth gold, it only made my smile grow even more, I was tempted to continue but I didn't want to intimidate them any further, it would only make them both more nervous so I shrugged "All the potions have labels and notes on what they do, read them when you have time, I have to go to the great hall for dinner Narcissa, yours is behind the screen." I pointed the screen to Narcissa, she blushed lightly but nodded, I began to walk away without waiting for an answer before stopping "oh, and Lucius?"
"Yes Serena?" Lucius sighed tiredly.
"Be nice to Narcissa or I'll be forced to retaliate, just remember that I know at least a dozen potions to make your cock rot." I gave him my most innocent smile possible, Lucius paled incredibly quickly, almost so much that I feared he would faint suddenly.
"Serena!!" Narcissa squeaked in embarrassment, Lucius cleared his throat, still nervous, but he straightened up slightly.
"You have nothing to worry about, I'll be a perfect gentleman." That made me smile.
"Now, I didn't say that." I winked at her, laughing at her confused look. "Just, enjoy yourselves, take your time exploring what you like and don't be afraid to talk about it, Narcissa, remember our talk." I now winked at Narcissa, who burst into blush once again .
"Go away at once!!" I dodged the pillow that was thrown in my direction while I ran away laughing.
"Ah! I forgot, don't worry about anything in the room, just go outside and the door will disappear once you're outside, don't forget to set an alarm to wake up early, you have to get there before everyone wakes up or everyone will know where and what you've been doing!" With that statement I left the room without waiting for any response, I closed the door behind me and watched it disappear, now it was up to them how the night would go, I could only hope that they enjoyed it, with that thought I headed to the great room to have my dinner with Cia sitting on my shoulder swinging.
I felt much lighter than I remembered in several months, music really helped me relax much more than I expected, I would have to make time to do it often, it was a pleasant hobby and as much as I loved learning about magic and thinking of new ways to use it, it really was different.
I had to learn to sing properly, and at the same time, some instruments, maybe the piano and violin, or some other string instrument, those would be enough for me, I knew how to play the flute from Rashek's template, but it wasn't really an instrument I liked. I would also have to find a way to take the instruments from the room of requirements.
Luckily, Korosensei didn't disappoint with tutorials for over 100 instruments, it really was a lifesaver.
"Snape!" I stopped and frowned slightly before turning around and seeing Bellatrix Black walking in my direction.
I sighed tiredly, and it had been a good day.
