Seraphim

Title: Seraphim

Author: Faline

Summary: style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Harry wakes up and gets the biggest shock
of his lifetime. Well, maybe not the
biggest but DAMN, he gets freaked out.

A/N: First HP story ever. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Tried to do something original. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> If it comes back to bite me in the ass, at
least I’ll have an excuse right?

Chapter Eight

The next morning I awoke at 8
AM, as I had for the last seven years. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> With a groan, I stretched, trying to expel
the sleep from my body. At least
Seraphim was fit. It wasn\'t so far
from what I was used to.

Showering was no longer an amusing task, but rather a
demanding one. Having to take an extra
fifteen minutes to get the tangles out of my hair was starting to drive me a
little crazy. For an instant I contemplated
cutting it, only to decide that an act like that would be out of character
and therefore detrimental to my getting home in one piece.

As I let some of the water soak into the towel I\'d wrapped
around my head, I quickly dressed. I
wanted to see Albus before going anywhere today, hopefully to avoid
embarrassing mistakes about classes and friends. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> The more I knew, the safer I would be.

However, fate had it in for me. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> The second I stepped out of my room I was
assailed by at least ten different people, all bearing the Slytherin
badge. My own badge was burning a hole
right into my Gryffindor heart.

"We heard you were here, finally. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> What took you so long?" style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> It was a dark haired girl who looked
suspiciously like Pansy Parkinson.

The boy next to her spoke as well, "We heard Snape
came to your house and everything to fix you up. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> It looks like he did a good job. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I can\'t even tell where that Hufflepuff
slut hit you."

Another boy snorted.
"I hear she\'s been put on probation for a month for using magic
outside of Hogwarts."

"Less than what she deserves. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> If only we\'d been there…"

I gazed around the group, recognizing a few future Death
Eaters that would find their deaths on these very grounds and was left
unsympathetic towards the lot.
"I\'m fine now, as you can tell.
I have things I need to see to however, and I must ask you all to let
me go."

At their surprised looks and confusion I gave them all a
little bow and walked away, feeling just a little bit happy with my
situation.

My wonderful fate continued as I arrived at Dumbledore\'s
gargoyle just in time to see Minerva leaving.
I smiled warmly at the woman who regarded me with stilted
suspicion. It hurt for a moment before
I remembered that I wasn\'t Harry. She,
however, could due with a reminder of the risk of being a Slytherin Order
member. Perhaps, as I had assumed he would,
Albus told her who I really was.

"Good morning Professor. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Is the Head Master in?"

She looked me up and down.
"If you are what Albus say you are, which I most sincerely doubt,
then I would advise you don\'t spend too much time in the company of the
Headmaster."

I stared at her, shocked, before checking myself. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "I\'ve only come to collect my class
schedule since I wasn\'t here to receive it when they were handed out."

"Your Head of
House has that, as you well know young
lady."

Well, it looked like the cat was out of the bag. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "In that case, I will have to talk to
Severus about it."

"Professor Snape, Miss Malfoy. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Please try to remember < class=SpellE>i>that</i>
fact." She turned and stalked
off, creating more confusion and hurt.
I wasn\'t quite sure which fact she was mentioning, me being a female
now, or Severus being a Professor.
There was no way Minerva would have spoken to me like that if she\'d
known who I was.

Then what could have
caused such a reaction?

Dumbledore must have told her that there was a marriage in
the makings with Sev.

But how could he
have known that?

The mystery and elusive nature of Hogwarts hit me full in
the face once more and I sighed. All
roads seemed to be leading to Severus at the moment. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> The only logical explanation would to be to
ask him about all of it.

I got into his quarters easily enough. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> The password he\'d used the night before was
the automatic override and would always work.
Always.

His sitting room was empty. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Glancing around, I noticed that there was a
blanket and a pillow on the couch.
Apparently he wasn\'t sleeping well in his bed. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Or, he preferred an uncomfortable couch,
which I knew from personal experience he did not.

Seeing no alternative, I decided that to infringe on his
personal space was acceptable and walked into the bedroom. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> There was steam billowing out from the
bathroom, the door slightly ajar.
Well, that explained his absence from his sitting room, at his desk,
which I think he loved more than his bed.

I took a seat on his bed and rubbed the down comforter
appreciatively. This was where we\'d
spent the night together the first time.
It held such good memories that I just couldn\'t help myself. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I leaned back with a sigh and was sucked
into the comfortable, wonderful depths.

It really was a great bed.
King size, silk comforter, lots of fluffy pillows to cuddle up
in. And best of all, it smelled of
Sev. I listened for sounds from the
shower, and heard the water still running.
Feeling a little guilty, I rolled to the top of the bed, and the
pillows. I buried my face in the
softness, breathing in his scent. I
missed sleeping in this very spot so very much.

It couldn\'t have been more than ten minutes when there was
a loud exclamation next to me and I cracked my eyes. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Severus was standing next to me, clad in
naught but a towel slung low on his hips.
His hair was dripping, giving him the look of a god freshly raised from
the water and I smiled sleepily.

"What *exactly* do you think you\'re doing in my
quarters, on my bed?" His voice
was rock hard. I could think of other things that should be rock hard in this
room.

Stretching, I gave him a sheepish smile. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "Napping?"

He snorted, completely un-amused. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "Miss
Malfoy, is it your intent to become involved with me or are you purposefully
invading my personal space just to annoy the hell out of me?"

Temper
temper normal\'> Severus. It was only a nap

I looked him up and down, remnants of the dream the night
before coming back to me, and smiled.
"Well, if you\'re offering Sev, I don\'t know how I could
refuse."

He growled and swept to the door of the bathroom. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "If you\'re still here when I
re-emerge, I will make sure you are expelled from this school." style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> He frowned furiously and slammed the door behind
him.

Holding back the chuckle that was threatening to rise, I
made my way back to the sitting room.
Trying to act like a Malfoy would was becoming more and more difficult
as the urge to tease Sev as I had for the last few years kept rising. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I knew I should have been anywhere but his
quarters, but it was so hard to stay away.
It had been, after all, almost two weeks since the last time I\'d
shared his bed, and I couldn\'t just jerk one off in the shower now that I was
completely devoid of sex.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I actually heard
Severus, my Severus, tell me to behave like an Order
member. I was not here to fuck his
former self. I was here to return to
him.

With that thought in mind, I sat docile like the good
little student I was supposed to be.

He reappeared a few minutes later, fully dressed now. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> With a glare in my general direction, he
took a seat behind his desk.
"Now, Miss Malfoy, what can I do for you?"

I waved my hand around, showing interest neither here nor
there. "I just thought we could
chat. I thought about what we talked
about yesterday." Was is just me,
or did the temperature rise several noticeable notches? style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "About marriage between the two of
us."

He stopped scribbling furiously in his planner and looked
up at me. The surprise was etched
clear as day on his face. "Yes,
what about it?"

"Did you tell anyone else about the Respeaker and my
father\'s possible plan?"

"No, of course not.
That\'s a private matter."

"Not even Albus?"

With a sigh, he set down his quill. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "While the Headmaster is certainly a
good confidant, I\'m not quite sure I want him to know that one of my students
has an obsession with my arse."

I had the good graces to blush now. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> At least that ruled out one possibility of
why Minerva was so angry at me. But,
that must mean that Albus had told her
my true identity And she didn\'t
believe him. I frowned as I thought of
that; she was one of the most level headed people in the school and always
believe the Headmaster.

Noticing my frown, Severus leaned forward. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "Is that all you came to talk
about?"

I looked back up at him.
"No. Professor McGonagall
didn\'t seem pleased to see me this morning and I don\'t understand why. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> She spoke very rudely and it offended
me." I chose my words carefully,
being absolutely sure to leave no question of whether I understood the attack
or not.

Severus scrutinized me through squinted eyes. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "Did your injury impair your
thinking?" I was silent. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Perhaps I had missed something all
together. "I wouldn\'t have
thought that the good Head of Gryffindor would have been kind to you after
she so openly protested your inclusion in the Order. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> But then again, it\'s never easy to be a
Slytherin Spy against the Dark Lord."

"If you are
what Albus say you are, which I most sincerely doubt, then I would advise you
don\'t spend too much time in the company of the Headmaster." style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Perhaps I was going a bit dull. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> That thought had never crossed my mind.

"You\'re right Professor, it slipped my mind. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I\'ve been having a lot of blank spots
lately; not remembering names and the like."

He regarded me critically once more before sighing deeply
and standing. "And how is your
wound? Is it completely healed."

I placed a hand where the blast had hit. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Come to think of it, it had been bothering
me lately, stinging when I moved the wrong way. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "Not completely. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I\'m not sure what\'s wrong with it
however."

He circled the room and came to stand in front of me. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Extending his hand down, which I grasped,
he pulled me up, turned me around, and took my spot. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> As his hands started to fumble with the
clasps on my robe, I chuckled.
"Like I said Severus, if you\'re offering I don\'t know how I could
refuse."

"Be silent you silly girl. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> You haven\'t been taking care of your
injuries. Haven\'t you been listening
to a thing I\'ve told you the last seven years?"

I listen to
everything you say my love.

"Yes, of course.
Always have an escape route and never let them see you bleed."

His hands stilled on my front and I had the sudden feeling
that those words were saved for blessed few and Seraphim was

not one of them. "Who told you
that?"

I shrugged. "I
don\'t remember." He stared up at
me and my heart wept for his warmth and comfort. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> His hands finished with my robe. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I shrugged the garment off my body, letting
it pool at my feet.

His fingers were suddenly uncertain now that they were
faced with only a simple fitted white blouse.
He held his breath for a moment, continuing to look into my eyes
before he started at the bottom button and worked his way up.

I could feel the heat of his fingertips through the thin
fabric of my shirt and held back a content smile. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> He was creating the most particular
feelings in this body once more. Like
before, when he\'d cornered me against the wall, I was incredibly aware of his
proximity and the smell he exuding.
Clean and very male. A very
large difference than my own female scent.

As the last button was freed from its restraint, he
brushed the sides apart, lightly skimming my stomach as he did so. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I could have sworn his eyes dilated
slightly at the view I was presenting.
This confused me. He was
obviously turned on by this female body.
I didn\'t understand as he was most certainly turned on by my normal
body as well.

My contemplations were cut short and he spread a hand on
my bare stomach and prodded the area of the hit lightly with two
fingers. This time, the little moan
that rose escaped before I could stop it.
His motions stilled and I pretended as if I hadn\'t made a sound.

After a few more moments of touching, he sat back. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "Well, I can see some of the
discoloration coming back. Perhaps I
misjudged your father\'s potion-making ability. " style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Severus was thoughtful for a few
moments. "I will, of course, make
you the correct cure for your problem."

I shivered, feeling my nipples stiffen in the cold. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Severus caught this as well and his
breathing picked up a little. He
wanted this woman. And this woman
wanted him. By now, I was well aware
of the wetness between my legs as well as the tingling sensations in the pit
of my stomach. I desired him at that
moment, very much.

"Professor…Severus…would you be overly disappointed
in becoming my mate? Even if you were
forced." He was taken a
back. Obviously my question was making
him nervous.

He stood then, bringing our bodies quite close once
more. This time however, with my
clothing hanging half off of my body, I could feel much more heat. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I could feel the rise and fall of his chest
as it brushed my nipples every time he took a breath. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I could feel his soft exhales as he tried
to control his lust.

"Sera, you\'ve always been my favorite pupil. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> You know this. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> And I would be lying if I said I didn\'t
desire you." Bringing a hand up
to my face, he stroked my cheek softly with his thumb. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I closed my eyes, giving into the security
I\'d found in this man at one time and would hopefully be able to return
to. "I would be lying if I said I
wouldn\'t marry you. Hell, I\'m lying to
myself right now, trying to convince my overactive libido that I don\'t want
to pull you back to my bed at this very moment."

I shivered again, but not from cold this time. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Lord he knew how to turn me on. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I took a deep breath and looked up into his
eyes, so full of familiar emotions.
"Then why don\'t you?"

Severus growled as he bent his head finally, pressing his
lips against mine firmly. He growled
again and parted my lips with his tongue, plundering my mouth like I wanted
him to plunder my body.

His hands circled to my back, pulling me up against him
completely. I sighed, sinking farther
into his warmth and practically melting in his mouth. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I had missed this so very much.

His body dipped and he scooped me up in his arms. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Heading straight for the bed, he set me
down at the edge. "If you have
any doubt about your desires Sera, now would be the time to speak.

Mutely, I shook my head.
Instead, I grabbed the front of his robes and fell backwards, pulling
him with me. We landed on the bed and
immediately resumed our activities in the outer rooms.

As he unzipped my skirt and pushed it down, I remembered
that my want was stuffed in the top of my stocking for safe keeping and
pulled it out. Severus chuckled but
said nothing of the keeping place. I
grinned at him devilishly before I said, "Dishabillus." style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> The very spell that he\'d taught me to
quicken the undressing process stripped him of his clothing and left him
quite naked. He looked down at himself
and then back up at me.

"You\'ve learned a few tricks over the summer Miss
Malfoy." He caught my lips again,
nipping at them slightly.

"I take it you approve of such a base use for
magic?"

"Indeed."

We both fell silent as his hands finished with my clothing
and left me as naked as he was.
Severus looked me over, a faint smile coming to his lips. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I could have sworn he had murmured
something about most beautiful creature before his mouth descended to my nipple
and thinking ceased. It felt damn good
to have my nipple sucked and bit as a male.
But, as a female, the reaction was electricity. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I moaned deeply, throwing my head back and
enjoying the sensations.

His hands dipped to my thighs and my attention was focused
to another point on my body. His
fingers parted the folds of my crotch and a single digit ran lightly up and
down. Lights exploded as his hit a nub
and teased it mercilessly. I moaned
again, this time pushing his head to my chest with abandon.

The finger continued its torture for a few minutes until
it slid farther still and entered the moist cavern in between my legs. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> An overwhelming need to have more than a
finger inside of me was growing by the second. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I pulled on his head, causing him to raise
his head to mine. I licked my way
across his cheek to his earlobe and sucked it into his mouth, all the while
familiarizing myself with his curves again.
They felt different to these smaller hands, yet the overall texture
and dynamic of his body was the same.

Following the path he\'d mapped on myself,
my hands found their way to his own crotch, grasping his erection
firmly. I couldn\'t prevent the
knowledge of previous couplings with the man away as I started a slow pumping
action, twisting up and down. My thumb
found the place just under the head of his cock and pushed lightly, eliciting
a moan from his as well.

I took advantage of his overwhelming need and pulled
away. He laid flat on his back,
watching me with hooded eye lids, as I slowly climbed over his form. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> One last chill went through my body as I
lowered myself on his shaft.

Oh god, this
shouldn\'t feel so good.

We both groaned in appreciation as he filled me
completely. The new sensations running
through my brain were overwhelming in their intensity. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> The intensity increased ten-fold as I
started moving, meeting his upward thrusts with my own. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> A scream was tore from my throat as the
beginning of what I suspected was an orgasm hit me.

The tightening in my body escalated until every nerve in class=GramE>the from the back of my head to the tips of my toes
exploded in a tingly ecstasy. I gasped
once, before my mind faded away and I came beautifully. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'>

Beneath me, Severus took my finish as a good sign. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> As I contracted around his cock, he grunted
and pushed harder and faster, building what I could only guess was his own
orgasm. I came back to the real world
as his grasp on my hips tightened to the point of pain. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> He gave one shout before his seed spilled
into me, creating a warm, satisfied sensation deep in my stomach. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> His hands fell away, falling up to frame
his flushed face.

I watched him a moment, remembering all the times he\'d
looked this way after he\'d fucked me into oblivion and grinned. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Even as a woman, I was good. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> Oh, so good.

He cracked an eye.
He graced me with a small smile
before grabbing me by the waist and pulling me down to lay beside me. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> He kissed my forehead tenderly. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> "I think I\'m in love with you
Sera." His voice was barely a
whisper, yet I heard it and realized fully what I\'d done. style=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'> I\'d made the man I love change his heart
before he ever decided.

Bloody Hell
