October 31, 1976 - PoV
"Serena!" My eyes shot open and I instinctively decanted all my metal minds, my arm moving at high speed towards where Cia was sleeping next to my head, I stopped a couple of centimeters away from her when I recognized the person who had spoken.
"Narcissa?" Sure enough Narcissa was out of my canopy once again, I cut off all my metal minds quickly, I had been sleeping with one eye open in case Bellatrix decided she wanted some revenge, apparently not, weird.
"Oh Serena! Thank you for everything yesterday, it was wonderful! " Narcissa seemed completely unaware, I grimaced and ran my hand over my face.
"What time is it?" I growled hoarsely.
"6"
"Morning?! Again ?!" I looked at her in disbelief, she nodded happily, I groaned tiredly, I grabbed my pillow and placed it over my face "Go to sleep Narcissa, it's too early for whatever this is."
" Sereeenaaaaa " Narcissa moaned and began shaking my shoulders.
"Go to sleeeeeep " I moaned tiredly behind my pillow.
"But Serenaaa , I have a lot to tell you, don't be a party pooper ." I only moaned louder again, there was no point in fighting Narcissa, she would keep bothering me until I paid attention to her, besides, I was no longer sleepy, my bendalloy mind had woken me up completely, I could store my wakefulness to go back to sleep, but I was sure that Narcissa would wake me up again.
" Fiiiiineeeee " I groaned reluctantly as I pulled the pillow off my face, transformed and opened the canopy, Narcissa squealed she quickly bolted out and sat on the opposite corner of my bed, I sat up and stretched in place, my metal minds may have helped but I still felt stiff, once I had cracked most of my bones I looked over at Narcissa who couldn't seem to contain her excitement, she was bouncing on the spot and looked like she could explode at any moment "So? Shouldn't you be tired?" I growled in her direction.
"Last night was wonderful!" she squealed quickly and loudly, I winced and saw that the curtains were closed, I hoped she had let out a muffliato or her screams would wake the others up, " And I'm too excited to be tired, we just woke up! "
"So I'm supposed to take that as your evening going well?" I asked with a smile.
"Fine? Just fine?! That doesn't begin to describe it!" Narcissa swooned, I rolled my eyes amused.
" Well? I need more, if you got me up at this ungodly hour I hope it's worth it." Narcissa nodded with a big smile.
"Of course! We started with dinner, we were nervous but dinner did wonders, oh Morgana it was delicious, I don't know how you made it but it tasted divine, I've never had anything that tasted so good, it was almost addictive, we had to make an effort to stop eating" Narcissa moaned remembering, I grimaced mentally, I had tried to reduce as much as I could the strength of Faery Feast exactly for that reason, it seems it had still been active at a ridiculous level.
"What can I say, I have a gift." I shrugged.
"I know Serena, but I didn't think it would extend to the kitchen, you're always saying that the kitchen and the options are completely different."
"And they are!" I growled.
" Mmm , I don't know, you have talents in both, are you sure one isn't an extension of the other?" she asked with a finger on her chin while thinking.
"Don't you dare." I narrowed my eyes at her, she giggled and I rolled my eyes "Just go on." I snorted.
"Oh yeah, after dinner, I... erm ... I put on that 'lingerie'" Narcissa blushed slightly but her excitement didn't diminish "You were right, Lucy loved it, she was literally speechless." Narcissa had a goofy grin on, I preened myself.
"Of course he was right."
"And not only that, you were right that it was going to be awkward." She said shyly as she played with her hair "none of us really knew what we had to do, your words, as obscene as they were, were a great help, thank you Serena." Narcissa looked at me with a grateful smile, I smiled back.
"Don't worry, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it." I said before my smile grew wider and I walked over to her. "Now, details girl, I want details." Narcissa blushed, but was just as excited.
---
"Lucy!" Narcissa greeted with a wide smile as she watched him approach us. We had both gone down to the common room after nearly two hours of talking about Narcissa's night. I was happy that she had enjoyed it, and too much so if I was going by her story.
"Cissy, good morning my love." Lucius greeted softly as he placed a kiss on her cheek, the love in his voice could be heard.
"Lucius" I greeted him with a smile, he smiled back at me.
"Serena, from what I heard I owe you thanks for yesterday, everything was perfect." I rolled my eyes amused.
"Don't worry, I'm glad you enjoyed it." I said honestly, before my smile grew wider and more lascivious, "and too much so according to Narcissa." That caused both of them to blush.
"Serena!" Narcissa punched my shoulder.
"So... you know." Lucius cleared his throat and I snorted in his direction.
"Welcome to the world of best friends, we tell each other everything, and when I say everything, I mean everything." My smile was wide making him blush a little more "but don't worry your-" my gaze went to his crotch "-little secret is safe." Lucius burst into a blush and quickly covered himself with his robe.
"SERENA!!" Narcissa was just as red as her fiancé as she punched my shoulder, I just let out a loud laugh.
"I'm just kidding, I'm glad you both enjoyed it, really." I told him honestly once I calmed down in my smile, Lucius nodded as his blush receded.
"Thank you, though I'd like to talk to you about it." He cleared his throat, I looked at him curiously, "I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble if I asked you to prepare more... potions like last night." He looked away sheepishly, I let out another laugh, but quickly calmed down.
"Of course Lucius, no problem, I'll give you a list of ingredients for you to get, I'll take care of the rest, just get the ingredients for the contraceptive potion in quantities, it's something you have to take regularly, the other more... 'recreational' ones don't need a lot of stock, unless you want something in particular."
"Thank you" they both sighed at the same time, I smiled at him.
"Serena! Good morning darling!" The shout made me shudder, for different reasons than what one would expect, first, the voice came from Bellatrix, but the strange thing was the content and the way she said it, both had been sweet and affectionate, the complete antithesis of Bellatrix, and that was something that everyone in the common room noticed, because the room fell completely silent, it was Sunday so even at 8:15 in the morning there were still quite a few people in the common room.
"Bella?!" Narcissa's utterly shocked cry had me turning to Bellatrix to look at her, my eyes widened slightly, she was limping but somehow she managed to make it look like she was literally bouncing like a lovesick teenager in my direction, I wanted to shudder at the violation of nature.
"Hello, Serena," Bellatrix said shyly once she approached, she was playing with her scarf, I narrowed my eyes at her, I had to admit, if I didn't know that it was literally impossible for Bellatrix to actually behave like that, I wouldn't know it was an act, I looked at her as she blushed, "I enjoyed our evening last night, although you were a bit rough, I couldn't sit or walk properly yet."
Silence.
Deadly silence was what had happened, my eyes opened wide and all eyes were now looking between Bellatrix and me, in disbelief and stunned, I was in shock and could only react when I saw a gleam of victory in her eyes, personally I think they were crazy, but I immediately realized what I was doing.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I denied immediately, deny until it's impossible to deny it, deny it until it's true, Bellatrix was not intimidated by my tactic, she just timidly played with the scarf.
"You don't have to pretend, Seri, I know we said we would keep it a secret, but I can't, after last night I don't want to." she said timidly, I shuddered once again, I really don't know what Bellatrix is playing at, but I wasn't going to let her win.
"I don't know what this is- " she started to remove her scarf, my eyes opened wide and I immediately slapped my hand over my mouth covering my lips and teeth, I paled when I realized what I had done, Bellatrix smiled widely in victory, daughter of the bi-
On her neck there were teeth marks all over her neck, bite marks, the fangs were pronounced and easily identifiable, in fact, despite leaving full bite marks, my fangs had been the only ones that had broken Bellatrix's skin last night, and if that wasn't enough, there was violet lipstick, the same shade I wear, the only violet lipstick in the entire school, all over her neck, me covering my mouth was practically a plea of guilt, how the hell do I clean up the blood she drew when she bit me without wiping the lipstick off?!
"Oh Morgana, oh Morgana, oh Morgana!!!" Narcissa squealed in happiness, she looked like she was about to explode. "I'm so happy for you both! How dare you keep this from me!" But I'm happy for you Bella! For you too Serena! Now we will be sisters!! And what a sweet nickname you have for Serena! She won't let me call her anything else, you're so lucky! " she spat quickly.
"It wasn't me!" I grimaced at my weak retort, Bellatrix dared to laugh at my misfortune, I glared at her, she smiled widely at me, that face only made me want to spank her once more, but that was the reason why she was now in trouble to begin with.
"Now, Serena, there's no need to be shy, Bella already said it, you don't have to keep it a secret! Oh Merlin! We can go on a double date!"
"What?! No!! We're not together!!" Narcissa gasped.
"Serena! Are you going to make my sister an adventure?! " Narcissa was genuinely offended, I grimaced.
"It's not what it looks like!" I growled, she blinked.
"So you two weren't together last night?" she asked confused before giving me a reproachful look. "You need to be more careful with my sister. Bella may seem grumpy, but she's very sensitive, you're going to hurt her feelings if you keep denying it. Plus, she said she couldn't even walk, you need to be more gentle with her." She slapped my shoulder. I heard Bellatrix snort, but when I glared at her she still had that sheepish smile. "Really, even after you gave me that filthy talk yesterday." Narcissa added, I gritted my teeth.
"She wanted it! She kissed me first!!" I blurted out before I could stop myself, I squeezed my eyes shut, not wanting to see Bellatrix's face of victory, I could hear the hubbub starting around me, I knew that by noon all of Hogwarts would be rumours of me sleeping with Bellatrix Black, and I had just confirmed it, I felt a hand on my shoulder forcing my eyes open and I looked over my shoulder, I shuddered when I saw Lucius with a huge evil grin on his face, son of a bi-
I hate Halloween.
