Where the Heart Is

A/N: Please review. I greatly enjoy hearing what people think about the story. I am considering writing a sequel to this. It depends on if people would like to read it though for the most part, which means I need input. Sorry it took a little bit to update this. Also, I would also like to put up a warning that this chapter does include BSDM. If you don\'t like it, skip down to the * * * * * and that\'s the other part of the story that\'s important to the plot.


Chapter Thirteen: Planning

Cassandra shifted in her sleep. She had been sleeping better with fewer nightmares since she had been staying in Severus’ bed every night for the past week. Tonight was no exception until earlier that morning. Dark shapes kept coming up in her dreams. After a while, they became clearer. She was holding a dagger. She recognized it as one that her father had given her in a box before she came here. It was a family heirloom as the handle was a swirl of black and dark green with the Black family symbol on it. She raised the dagger up and began to bring it down, noticing that Harry was there. She then found herself without the dagger. She was sinking to the ground. Her father came in front of her. “It’s time that you are home, child.”

She then woke up with a start and sat up in the bed. She was breathing rather hard, trying to calm down.

Severus stirred from his sleep and opened his eyes, noticing that she was up. He sat up suddenly and touched her arm. “Are you okay, my dear?” he asked out of concern.

She looked at him and shook her head slightly as she moved and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder. She sighed softly as she remembered the dream or was it a vision? She couldn’t dare think that she might stab Harry. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t understand the last part either. Home? She no longer had a home. Her home left with her father. Her eyes widened slightly. Did it mean that she was going back to him? She clung to Severus even more. She didn’t know what she would do without him.

He gently stroked her hair as he tried to tell himself that he was going to be nice and caring and did not want her right now. It was especially hard since they were both naked and he was growing hard again. Gods, she was turning him into a hormone-crazy adolescent boy. “Want to talk about it?” he asked.

She looked up at hnd snd slowly shook her head. “No, it was just a dream,” she said, more for her benefit than for his. Her hand came up and lightly cupped his cheek. More than a week ago, she would have never thought that they could have gotten this close or that she would be in his bed. She leaned up and kissed him firmly on the mouth, wanting to forget dreadream for the moment and be with him.

He wrapped her arms firmly around her as he pulled her into his lap. His tongue battled with hers as he claimed her mouth. His hand cupped her breast, rubbing his thumb over the nipple, making it hard and erect.

While continuing the kiss, she moved and straddled him. Normally, he was the one always in control. He had taught her a lot over the past week, so she wanted to be in control now. She ran her hands along his arms until she reached his hands. She locked her fingers in his and brought his arms above his head. Scooting up, she drooped her breasts in front of his face as he took one in his mouth and sucked on it. Gods, she thought as she moaned. She released one of his hands and clutched her wand on the nightstand. Muttering a spell, his wrists were bound to the headboard now. She then backed away from him slightly and looked at him, grinning.

Severus was too involved in sucking her breast that he did not realize what she was doing. When she pulled away, he tried to follow her, finding himself tied up. He was shocked that she had the gall to do this. “You are going to be in so much trouble when I get untied, Miss Black,” he stated in a professorial tone.

She just laughed as her eyes twinkled mischievously. “Oh, I know, but it looks like you are in trouble now.” She ran her nails lightly down his chest as she placed light, wet kissing down his chest.

He moaned. “You’re evil.”

“I know,” she stated as she ran her tongue over his nipples and blew lightly on them. She continued to move down to his lower abdomen. She was a mere inches away from his growing erection as her hair brushed against his inner leg. She glanced up at him, noticing that he was still slightly straining against the ropes to get free. She laughed and continued down to his manhood. She pressed feather-light kisses down along his cock, having to hold it in her hand as his hips bucked toward her. She smiled and kissed the tip, lightly sucking on it and tasting his pre-cum. She ran her tongue along the underneath of his erection while noticing his reaction. She grinned. This was too much fun. She got to his base and then moved back up, kissing and gently running her teeth along the sides of his cock. She watched as he struggled against the ropes more. She chuckled. “You’re not getting free until I’m through with you.” She didn’t give him a chance to respond when she placed him in her mouth and began to suck and lick at him. She gently kneaded his balls, continuing her ministrations. She could feel him about come, so she relaxed her throat and swallowed the whole length of him.

“Gods,” he groaned. It was too much for him as his orgasm came, spilling hot cum in her mouth and down her throat.

She swallowed it all. Afterwards, she removed him from her mouth and licked her lips. She slowly kissed back up his chest and then his lips. She reached for her wand and undid the ropes.

He was ready for this. He grabbed her wrists and forced her on her back suddenly and rather roughly. He grinned diabolically when he heard her give out a squeal. “It’s time for you to pay, pet,” he said as he tied her hands together and to the headboard. Her legs were tied to the bed posts, giving her some room to move but not much. He lazily sucked on her breast as he looked at her. “I think I like you tied up, pet.”

“And, you called ME evil?” she said as she pulled against the ropes to see if she could get free, which she found that she couldn’t.

It was his turn to chuckle. He stuck two fingers within her moist folds and gently rubbed them against her velvety flesh. He heard her moan and grinned more. He suddenly pulled away from her and shifted down where his head was at her midsection. Gently, he placed kisses along her inner thigh, until he got almost to her sex. He breathed in the familiar musky scent as he pressed his lips to her upper inner thigh. He then sucked and bit fairly hard and then sucked on it again, marking her milky white skin. “You are mine,” he stated as he looked at what he had done. He moved and ran his tongue along her nether lips as he held her hips down with his hand. He kissed them and moved closer. He parted the folds and began to stimulate her clit as he gently ran his tongue along the sides and flicked his tongue against it. He continued to do this as he stuck two fingers inside her velvety shaft, moving them in and out of her. He felt her coming close to orgasm. Just as she was about to climax, he moved away from her, listening to her whimper. “This is your punishment, pet,” he stated in a sadistic tone. He leaned up and kissed her, able to taste a mixture of her and himself as they kissed. He could tell from her lusty gaze that she was quite aroused still. Slowly, he moved back down, flicking his tongue underneath her clit which caused her to buck her hips. He chuckled and stuck his tongue inside of her but just the tip at first. Then, he inserted more of his tongue, lapping up the ambrosia coming from her. Again, just as she was about to climax, he moved away from her.

“Severus!” she whined as she arched her hips as much as she could toward him. “I need you.” It was becoming quite painful to be slow close to the edge and not allowed to go over.

“Have you learned your lesson?”

“Yes.”

“Will you beg?”

“YES! PLEASE!”

“Very well then.” He positioned himself and rammed his cock inside her. He began to thrust deep inside of her as she was still tied up. With all the stimulation before, she came quickly as a powerful orgasm ripped through her body. He was not done with her though. He released the bonds as her legs wrapped around him. He continued to thrust inside of her, coming to a frantic pace. She came again at the same time he did. They both cried out and collapsed to the bed, breathing hard from their lovemaking.

“You are positively evil,” she stated breathlessly.

“You love me all the same though,” he stated with a grin.

“Yes, I do,” she admitted.

He kissed her deeply. “I love you too.”

Later on, Cassandra was in the library reading the book ‘Most Notable Wizards of the 20th Century’ again, particularly the section on Voldemort and Harry. She sighed as nothing jumped out at her.

“There you are,” Severus said as he sat down on the couch beside of her.

She leaned against him. “Severus, when the Killing Curse rebounded on Voldemort, why didn’t he die?”

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her. “I don’t have a certain answer for it. Dumbledore might. The Dark Lord doesn’t want to die. Somehow he stayed alive in a spirit-like form.”

She sat up and looked at him. “Do you think the same might happen if Harry did cast the curse on him?”

He shrugged. “I guess it would be a possibility. With Voldemort, anything is possible.”

She considered it. She gave him a sudden kiss on the lips and stood up. “I need to talk to Dumbledore.” She left him with a confused look on his face. Going to the mirror which kept her and Severus in contact with the Order, she said, “I need to speak to Professor Dumbledore.” After a few moments, she saw his face in the mirror.

“Is anything wrong?”

“No, Sir. Everything is fine here. I have an important question for you. It could mean a way to get rid of Voldemort for good.”

“Continue.”

“Well, Sir, if the Killing Curse was used on Voldemort, do you think that he still might be able to survive like he did before?”

Albus considered her question before speaking. “It is very possible, Miss Black, even if Harry were to cast it. There is no guarantee that he would die completely with his will to live.”

She smiled. “That’s what I thought. Thank you. I have an idea about how we can make sure that Voldemort never comes back. I need to research it more though.”

“Are you going to tell me your idea?”

“All in good time, Professor. I’m not sure if it’ll work yet. I need to do more research.”

“How are things there? Are you and Severus coming back soon?” he asked, letting her be mysterious about her idea for now.

“Wonderfully, actually. We should be back to Hogwarts within the next week or two.”

Albus smiled, having a twinkle in his blue eyes. “I had a feeling you two would get along.”

She grinned and blushed lightly as she thought about how well she and Severus were getting along. “I have to get back to some research. Thank you for the information.” He nodded to her and left.

She went back into the library, finding Severus still there.

He looked up from the book he was reading, having felt her coming before she entered. “Did you get your questions answered?”

“One of them,” she said as she began to look for the particular book she needed. “Do you think we could persuade Voldemort to storm the castle?”

“The castle? Do you mean Hogwarts? You know how the Dark Lord won’t do anything while Dumbledore is there.”

“That’s why we have to PERSUADE him. I need ancient ground that is relative to the majority involved. Hogwarts is the perfect spot.” She stepped off the ladder and moved it to a new spot to continue her search.

“You’re insane. The Dark Lord won’t do it. Plus, it’ll put everyone else in danger. What about all of the students there? And, he’ll smell a trap a mile away.” He went over to her, standing at the foot of the ladder she was on. “Whatever you are thinking, Cassandra, drop it. The Dark Lord is not gullible. It’s too dangerous.”

She glanced down at him. “It is dangerous, yes, but it may be the only way to save the wizarding world as well as a lot of lives. I bet I can persuade him.” She found the book she was looking for and climbed back down.

He stepped away from the ladder, so she could get down. He noticed the title of the book as well. “Necromancy?”

Her eyes lit up. “Yes, my dear, Severus. Necromancy. Leave the details to me. I’m sure this plan will work. I just need to figure out all the details.” She placed her finger to his lips before he could protest. “I know it’s dangerous. I’ll be careful. If it doesn’t work, I’ll know before it’s too late, and we can try something else. Do you trust me?”

He sighed. “Yes, I do. Be careful. I don’t want to lose you.” He wrapped his arms around her.

“You won’t.” She kissed him deeply as the book was placed aside. She could finalize her plans later, after all.
