The Way She Moves
Chapter Two: Tea and
Kisses
We
often have tea with her after class, a trend that started in the beginning of
the year so that she could relay Order business without being very
suspicious. It was difficult at first,
particularly when a few students tried to claim she was playing favorites, but
since we had an appointment to talk with her (ostensibly to discuss an
extra-credit project), that idea flopped pretty quickly.
Luna
gives me a pinch, and I realize that class is over. I pack my bag as we wait
for the room to empty out, my eyes glazed over as I think over the daydream my
girlfriend interrupted. We move silently
down the hall behind our professor and friend, waiting patiently while she
loosens the wards to allow us entrance into her office.
the room while I start the tea, as is our weekly habit.
Hermione
has no idea that this meeting is to be different, but I prefer it that way. She
discards her outer robes and relaxes into one of the chairs, chatting amicably
with me as I fix our tea. Her first
indication that something is different isn’t until Luna moves behind her and
begins to massage her shoulders. She raises her eyebrows but says nothing, and
leans back into my girlfriend’s touch.
The
teakettle whistles and I pour our tea, my hand brushing lightly against hers as
I hand her a cup. ‘Now is the time to act,’ I think to myself. I move to Luna and
hand her a cup of tea, bending down to press a light kiss into Hermione’s
temple as I push a curl out of her face. “Beautiful,” I breathe softly,
inhaling her soft, feminine scent.
