Chapter Two: The Opportunity

Sorry for the long hiatus. I finally felt the juices flow for this.

----


The Slytherin was exceedingly nervous, embarrassed, and angry as he reached the Great Hall. He couldn't believe that they had done that to him.. Well, no. He could believe it. It wasn't that hard to believe.

The lanky teen quickly found a seat at the far end of the Slytherin table. Severus breathed in deeply and heaved a sigh. A bit shaken, he reached for a banana. He wasn't particularly hungry, but maybe eating something would calm him from his rage. He needed to get his mind off that whole little incident and concentrate on what Lucius had said to him. Was he serious or not?


As he peeled the banana, his usual way, taking off the casing, the end piece and any straggling strings hanging from it, he began to think about this whole predicament. Lucius made out with him against a bathroom door. They got interrupted. Lucius asked to finish this later-- No. He asked him to meet with him later. He said nothing about continuing. Maybe the interruption put him back in his frame of mind. But then, why did he pull him out of class and do all this without reason and why did he want to meet with him?

Severus shook his head. This was only adding on to the frustration he was feeling. He opened mouth and placed the banana inside. He felt his teeth cut easily through the soft fruit. He chewed slowly, his mind still at work.

"Mmmm.. That's hot."

Severus jumped and he turned around to see the smiling seventh year Slytherin standing behind him with his platinum blonde girlfriend, Narcissia.

"Oh, Lucius! Don't tease Severus. That's not nice." She said with a titter, pulling him close to her.

"Er, Hello Lucius, Narcissia. How are you both?" Severus said quickly, not really caring as the words came from his mouth.

"Not bad.. Would you like to join Narcissia and I? You're free to join us, you know." Lucius said with a grin.

"Err, no, that's okay.." Severus said quickly. He didn't want to be around Lucius at the moment. He still had sort out what had happened... Besides, Bellatrix would surely be up there and he hated listening to that stark-ravening mad woman. A good pedigree usually had a lot of say on one's mental health.

"Severus.. How come the only things I ever see you eat are bananas? The stuff they consider food here isn't always horrible. The Sheppard’s Pie isn't always bad." The blonde said as she flipped hair.

"Bananas are good enough. I'm never really hungry. I'm amazed you pay attention to what I eat, Ms. Black," Severus said softly, dropping the half-eaten banana on the plate. Something about the woman rubbed him wrong. He didn't like her... Was it because he was jealous with her relationship with Lucius?

Probably.

"Well, I'm going to go work on my assignments," the teen muttered, standing, suddenly not wanting to be there. As he grabbed his books and began to leave, he couldn't help but notice the handsome grin on Lucius's face.

----

Instead of going to go back to his room, the teen made it mission to locate Lily Evans. Perhaps talking to his dearest of friends would unclutter his already filled mind. He had too much rubbish in there. Talking to her would sort it out… It normally did.

He found the woman sitting in her normal corner of the library. She looked disgusted as she read a piece of parchment. Severus smiled as he noticed that her hair was pulled up in a loose ponytail. He thought she looked best with her hair up.

Spying the Slytherin from the corner of her eye, Lily rolled up the parchment and put it away.

“Severus, it’s been a few days,” she said with a smile as he took a seat beside her.

“Yes, sorry. I’ve been busy with assignments.”

“No, you’re lying. You’ve been hanging out with Lucius again.” She folded her arms.

“…Yes.” He said softly as he drew his hands to the table and began to trace the wood cuts.

“Don’t lie, Severus. I understand you have other friends. I don’t approve of these other friends. They’re too loud and radical and …well, kind of racist, but I can’t tell you who you can be around. I feel like you’re trying to hide your friendship with me, Sev.”

Lucius, Bellatrix, the Lestranges, all of the Slytherins that he sometimes spoke with were all for Voldemort and his cleansing of the Wizarding race. Severus, despite being a half-blood, was almost in agreeance as well. The one exception in his mind sat before him. Lily wasn’t like the rest of the… mudbloods that stalked the school corridors. She was special.

“No! Never! I would never try to hide you, Lily,” he said, reaching for her hand, gripping it lightly. His tone almost sounded like he was trying to convince himself over convincing her. He loved her. He could never look at her the same way he looked at the filth.

A loud hushing noise cut through the air and Severus winced and apologized.

Lily shook her head and withdrew her hand from his. “So, what do you need, love? There is a reason for you to grace me with your presence,” she said softly. A small smile slid over her face.

“I…” He bit his bottom lip. “It’s actually about Lucius. I need to talk to you. It’s really personal.”

Her eyebrow arched in interest. “He hasn’t asked you to do something that can get you into trouble, has he?”

The black-haired Slytherin shook his head. “No. He—“ he lowered his voice even further, “he kissed me in the bathroom. He pulled me out of class and shoved me against a loo door and kissed me.”

He swallowed thickly and realized that his heart was racing at the memory.

Lily’s eyes widened. “He kissed you? Isn’t he dating Sirius’s cousin?” She was leaning in closer to her friend.

“Narcissia.. yes. I asked him about her. He more or less said that he didn’t care and he…” Severus took a deep breath. “He asked if I’d let him have sex with me.”

A look of disbelief passed over Lily’s features. That was impossible. Lucius was one of the biggest playboys in Hogwarts. It was common knowledge that he was insufferable when it came to coming after the girls. However, it was Naricissia Black that had the claim on him.

“He wants me to meet him in the Common Room later. What do I do, Lily?” He leaned his head forward, his hair curtaining around his face.


The Gryffindor sighed and leaned back against her chair. “Well, Sev, it’s really up to you. You’ve told me that you had feeling for him. However, you have to also remember that Mr. Malfoy could just be using. Having sex with him might mean nothing to him. Do you really want to toss away your virtue like that? I mean, how well do you trust him?”

Severus blushed. “How do you know I’m a virgin?”

She grinned. “I’m fairly certain you are. Don’t think Lucius’s offer would’ve surprised you this much if you weren’t one. Besides, I’d like to think you’d tell me if you ever lost your virginity.”

The Slytherin folded his arm and put on a faux face of arrogance. “You think pretty highly of yourself, Gryffindor. What makes you think a Slytherin such as I would confide in you?”

Lily rolled her eyes with a smile.

“Do what you think is best. I’m just saying… If you have sex with him, don’t expect him to talk to you about it tomorrow morning. If he does talk to you again, he’ll probably keep you his dirty little secret or something. But whatever you’re up too, Severus. My advice is to say ‘No’ and do your charms work tonight instead.”

The Slytherin nodded his head. Lily had a point. Lucius probably wanted to just see him on the side. How well did he trust Lucius? He had always put his trust in the blond on their endeavors. He hadn’t gotten him in trouble or hurt yet.

Then again, Lilly was just looking for his best interest. Lucius would probably just be a fun romp to lose his virginity.

….Well, maybe Severus wanted that romp.

“Thanks, Lily. We need get together again soon.”

“You know I’m usually here. It’s the only place that knows how to repel James Potter.” He saw her eyes flutter back to the parchment. Probably another love letter from that git.

He smiled lightly. “I’m glad. I know to run here the next time he tries to curse me. I’ll hold a book.” He stood. “Thanks again, Lily. I’ll see you around and let you know how it worked out.”

Severus had tried to spend the next two hours attempting study on his bed, but his attention kept getting drawn away by laughter from the Common Room. Lucius was in there.

He heaved a sigh and shut the book. There was no way Lucius would proposition him for sex in front of so many people. Well, it was no or never.

Straightening out his robes, the Slytherin made his way down to the laughter. He wasn’t exactly a key member or any of these ‘friends’. Lily was his only real friend. Everyone else was just someone to get close to simply not be lonely. He supposed they kept good enough company.

As he walked out of the room, his attention was immediately caught by Lucius. He was sitting in a rather large armchair. Narcissia was in his lap and Bellatrix at his side, her head on his knee. Maybe the kiss had just been a means to catch his attention. There was no way Lucius would want to have sex with him while he had these two beautiful women at his beck and call. And even if he wanted a man, there were more attractive men than he. He was strangely lanky and his hair was always stringy. He didn’t hold a candle to many people here.

“Severus!” Lucius called as his fingers carded through Bellatrix’s hair. With his other hand, he raised it and beckoned the raven-haired teen with his forefinger.

The Slytherin nodded his head and walked over. He felt his stomach clenching and his pulse accelerate.

“Lucius?”

Lucius looked to Narcissia and pecked her lips. “I have to meet with Severus, Cissy. I’ll see you at dinner.”

The blonde smiled and nodded her head as she stood. Bellatrix had already removed her head and slinked over to one of the Lestranges. Apparently they are her second choice to Lucius and it looked like they didn’t mind.

The Slytherin walked over the Severus. He was taller by several inches. His hair was pulled back now by a ponytail. He looked amazing.

“Come along, Severus.” He turned and headed for the door. It looked like they were going on a field trip.

Severus followed Lucius until he finally stopped in front of the prefects bathroom. “Let us in, Severus.”
The black-haired man nodded and whispered the password to the statue just outside the door. The door swung open and Lucius walked straight in.

The younger Slytherin’s heart was racing. Why would Lucius lead him to the prefect’s bathroom of all places? Was he really going to propose sex here and now? He felt his face flush.

“S-so, why are we here, Lucius?”

“I want you to meet me here after dinner tonight, Severus.” The blond walked toward the pallid haired man and drew him near.

Severus felt his breath hitch in his throat. He could smell Lucius’s delectable cologne. He could feel the other’s breath on his face. He felt himself lick his lips involuntarily.

“Why?”

“I already told you why. I’ll be here taking a bath at ten thirty.” Seveus gasped as he felt the man’s free hand float down and cup his groin. He arched his back and groaned softly.

“If you don’t show up, don’t expect me to offer it to you again.” He leaned in and captured Severus’s lips in an impassioned kiss. Where had that come from!?

He pulled away a moment later licking his own lips before leaving the bathroom.

“I hope to see you tonight, love.” His words echoed through the room as his figure disappeared behind the door.

Severus felt himself melt to the floor. What was he going to do?
