The Seaside Retreat

Chapter 17... Halloween Feast

It was the beginning of October when Hermione and Draco finally approached Professor McGonagall with Draco’s idea of the costume party. She was a bit reserved about the idea, but readily agreed when they mentioned it would be a wonderful opportunity for the houses to mingle without the pressure of an every day environment. They had decided to have a costume contest and give out prizes for the best costumes in each grade.

Once the idea was announced, the school was in near chaos ordering and making their own costumes. There was only one Hogsmeade weekend left until Halloween for the younger students to shop for their costumes, and those under third year had to owl order all theirs. Luckily the seventh years could leave the grounds on any weekend as long as they had a signed permission slip from home and they notified a professor beforehand.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Millicent and Blaise had decided to head down to the village the week before the younger students were allowed to go so they could have a chance at the good costumes. The girls had challenged the guys to a bet on who would have the better costumes, so in the interest of secrecy they decided to split up and begin the ultimate battle of the sexes costume search.

When everyone had made their choices they tucked them under their arms they gathered for a butterbeer then headed back up to the school. They quickly separated again and Hermione took the opportunity to catch up on her school work. It was going to be a very hectic couple of weeks between Severus, school, and preparing for Halloween.

Hermione was right about the following weeks being very busy, though the upside of this was that the time seemed to fly by. Before they knew it everyone was gathered in the common area of Draco and Hermione’s room waiting for the duo to return from decorating the great hall. When they finally did return it was to the expectant faces all around, but they were tight lipped about the decorations, they didn’t want to ruin the surprise.

The guys sat around the common room with a few hours to spare while the girls headed up to Hermione’s room to pamper each other and prepare for the festivities. The girls had decided to arrive as a trio of fairies. Well, the muggle version of fairies at least. Hermione had showed them Peter Pan one evening on her charmed IPOD because she had said their costumes reminded her of Tinkerbelle.

The group of girls did nails, shaved legs, plucked eyebrows, and generally caused each other a lot of pain in order to look good. After they had secured golden ribbon through their French twists and had placed crowns of wild flowers on their heads they got creative with the glitter. Hermione giggled when Ginny announced how angry Severus would be if she didn’t wash the glitter away before shagging him. He would be vanishing glitter from his pubic hair for days. Though he may have to resort to doing it by hand, seeing as how not many men are brave enough to use a vanishing charm near their crotch.

Now that the girls were properly shimmering they began the complicated task of getting dressed. Each girl had her own colored outfit that consisted of thigh high fishnet stocking in their coordinating color, a garter belt to hold them up, a satin shirt which tied beneath their breasts, a short skirt made of contrasting layers of tulle, and a large set of glittering fair wings. They were a bit afraid it would be too revealing for a school event, but they had gotten professor McGonagall’s approval before hand.

In fact it seemed as though McGonagall was allowing the seventh and sixth years to do pretty much as they pleased as long as they weren’t hurting anyone. Normally it was the Headmistresses duty to steer the older students into adulthood, but following the war she found it more prudent to let the children that had been forced to grow up so fast act like children for a change. She would make sure they were prepared for what awaited them, but she had little doubt that they could probably give a few lessons on that subject themselves.

The girls were all set to wow the boys and after they had slipped on their shoes they grabbed a camera and took turns getting their photos taken then decided the boys should get a group shot of them together before they set off. Millicent looked beautiful in a costume of black and pink, Hermione was radiant in her colors of black and silver, and Ginny in black and green with her wild red hair looked as though she should be the label on a bottle of Absinthe somewhere.

The girls sauntered down the stairs together and were pleased to show off their costumes with turns while the boys cat called and whistled. They were a bit confused however when they noticed the boys were only wearing jeans and white t shirts. When they questioned them about it, the group smiled and each slipped on huge cardboard boxes in all different colors that looked like giant Christmas gifts with a head, arms, and legs. When the girls continued to look puzzled they were encouraged to read the tags hanging down which read “To: Women Love: Merlin”. They still didn’t seem to get it for a fraction of a second more before they were all rolling around on the floor, grateful for charmed makeup due to the tears of mirth rolling down their faces. The boys were dressed as Merlin’s gift to women and the girls couldn’t believe how funny it was.

They all stood in one big group and set the camera on the mantle to take a timed photograph of the group. Years later you would find this blown up and framed, hanging in the home of every person in the group of friends. They made their way towards the festivities and only had to stop once when a second year tried to get in wearing a garbage bag and claiming he was a muggle condom. Draco sent him to his room to change into something more appropriate (he suggested sticking bits of parchment to himself and going as rubbish), but told him he could come back when he changed.

Everyone was floored by the decorations in the hall that Halloween and Draco and Hermione were quite pleased with the reactions. The usual bats were flying above, but they had added huge spider webs all over, a coffin that served as a punch bowl, and of course invited the ghosts to attend. The large tables had been packed away in favor of the small round ones from the Yule Ball though they were draped in orange fabric with black gauze over them and a large Jack-o-lantern as the centerpiece. Dinner, as usual, was excellent as was the punch which was being monitored by eagle eye Hooch though she was known to spike the bowl at the staff Christmas party every year.

Severus stood off to the side of the room conversing with McGonagall who was dressed as Rowena Ravenclaw and trying to convince him to enjoy the festivities. From where he stood, Severus didn’t care much for joining in, but was certainly pleased to watch Hermione bounce around in that costume. He was very content to sit on the sidelines until Draco asked Hermione to dance. They tried swaying to the music when Draco was wearing his box, but it was just to awkward which amused Severus to no end. The problem didn’t come until he had removed his box so he could hold Hermione against him as they danced.

Severus though he was a pretty reasonable man, though his students would disagree, so he waited with narrowed eyes until the song ended, then swooped in to commandeer Hermione. She looked pleased to see him and didn’t object when he gathered her in his arms and danced with her slowly. They were forced to keep a decent distance between their bodies for the sake of propriety, but Severus could see the barley concealed lust in her honey eyes. He stepped away when the song ended, but not before securing a promise from Hermione to come to him when the party was over, and with that he slipped out of the hall, unable to bear seeing her in anyone else’s arms for longer then that.

Her friends were surprised when they danced together but she smoothly lied, stating they had a wager on whether or not she could brew the wolfsbane potion without assistance that he lost. Originally she said she told him he had to come to the party dressed as “batman” but when he flatly refused after she explained who batman was, she settled for a dance. She told them she had hoped it would make people believe he was a human after all, which he most certainly did not want to happen.

After going strong for hours, the party began to wind down and the winners of the costume contest from each year were announced and presented with gift certificates to Honeydukes. Hermione and Draco were ineligible because they had organized it, but were pleased to see Seamus Finnegan win for his alien costume. Ron and Millicent had disappeared some time ago and no one was trying too hard to find them, Harry had a headache and apologizing profusely to Ginny, headed to the hospital wing for a cure and then to bed. Draco and Hermione staged a quick clean up with their wands and left with Blaise to have a firewiskey in his room, which left Hermione and Ginny alone for some quality time. Hermione was in a hurry to see Severus but felt bad leaving Ginny, so she invited her down to his chambers with her, knowing Severus wouldn’t mind if it was just for an hour or so.

By the time they arrived in the dungeons, Ginny looked as though she was rethinking the decision to come down there. Its not that Ginny isn’t a reasonable person, she is, it was just hard to get that fierce image of him out of her head. Hermione led her through the classroom, into his office, and knocked on his door. When Severus opened the door, he was surprised to see Miss Weasley there with Hermione, but knew how much she valued the younger girls friendship so he very wisely kept his mouth shut. He opened the door a bit wider for the girls and let them through, nodding to Miss Weasley as she passed.

Once inside and seated around his polished kitchen table the conversation flowed well, and before long a bottle of wine had been opened and passed around. Severus was impressed with Ginny’s ability to hold on a decent conversation, though in retrospect he should of realized that anyone who Hermione held in such high esteem had to at least have half a brain. He noticed the girls were shivering and like a true gentleman went to retrieve two of his shirts for them to wear.

Severus was a bit embarrassed to be entertaining two of his students wearing only fishnets and his shirts in his quarters. He ignored the bad feeling that had settled in the pit of his stomach and continued to entertain the duo. They talked and drank for hours and it wasn’t long before they had settled in front the fire, Severus in the armchair and the girls on the rug directly in front of him, talking and braiding each others hair. It wasn’t long after that before they were leaning their heads together and whispering conspiratorially to each other and looking in his direction. On the whole Severus was unconcerned with their antics, but still kept a wary eye in their direction. Who knew what kind of things those two schemed when they got together? After all, he was talking about the very same Hermione who had been there for every step of the boys antics, and was currently crawling towards him on her hands and knees.

He wished he could act disinterested, but seeing her on all floors in one of his shirts which rode up just high enough to show off her garter was too much for even him to ignore. He was sure Ginny was getting an eyeful behind her, and when he flicked his eyes towards the redhead he was stunned to see her enjoying the view.

When Hermione reached his armchair she untied his boots and slipped them off before her hands continued crawling over his shins and thighs and rested on his zipper. He looked at her startled, but quickly forgot his reservations when her nimble fingers began massaging him through his trousers. She suddenly released him and perched herself on his lap while beckoning Ginny closer to her with one finger. Ginny instantly complied and pushed herself off the floor to saunter over to Hermione. The girls both turned to look at Severus and licked their lips before turning back and began kissing each other hungrily.

Severus watched the girls devour each others mouths and tried to mentally talk his cock out of ripping a hole in his trousers. Hermione must have sensed his need, for she soon replaced her hand on his throbbing member and began to unzip him gently before freeing him from his confining prison. The girls stopped kissing and stood to begin peeling each other out of their clothes, leaving Severus breathless at the sensuality of watching them shimmy over each other, backlit by the fire, and snap off garters and bras then roll down each others fishnets. It wasn’t long before he had wrapped his own fingers around his cock and watched them caress through half lidded eyes.

He was so far gone by that point, that he jumped a little when he felt small hands pull his fingers away from his cock and envelop it in wet heat. His eyes were wide open now, and he knew he wouldn’t last long with Hermione working him with her mouth while Ginny lay beneath her and licked at Hermione’s cunt. He was proud at how long he had actually managed to hold off, but when Hermione began to hum her orgasm around him he lost it and shot his seed straight into her mouth. Her huge honey eyes looked up at him with that spark he loved and the minx winked before turning to Ginny and once again kissing her softly mixing the taste of herself and Severus together.

Severus thought he was done for the evening after that, but upon seeing them lay on floor so Hermione could return the favor to Ginny, he was quickly hard as a rock once more. Ginny lay on her back on his rug with her knees spread wide open and Hermione’s face soundly between them. This time he took the initiative to stand behind Hermione and enter her from behind. She moaned in pleasure which in turn made Ginny squirm. Hermione loved the feeling of being fucked from behind and was already tightening around Severus, so she inserted two fingers inside Ginny and pumped her while she continued to circle her clit with her tongue. It wasn’t long before the three were coming violently then collapsing on the rug.

Ginny had decided to head up to bed for the night, and Severus and Hermione had her to floo to Hermione’s room and sleep in the luxury there for the remainder of the morning. It was around four o’clock before the other two lovers tucked themselves into Severus’ bed. Hermione rolled over on top of him, kissed him soundly then laid her head against his chest and whispered “I love you” before drifting off for a few hours rest.

A/N: There was my dirt little threesome. I hope you liked it! I also forgot to mention in the last chapter, that the idea for Severus returning Crookeshanks, came form the wonderful mazatrix isstrange who mentioned that idea early on in the story and I had just found the right time to use it!
