The Hufflepuff and the Slytherin

Chapter 9-The Perfect Night

You both had fallen asleep in your private little heaven that was the  Room of Requirement. While you both had slept amazingly, dreaming of  what the next night would bring, you had woken up with nasty hangovers.  You had risen first in the morning, and had tried to be as quiet as  possible as you summoned and transfigured yourself a glass of water,  which you gulped down as if you were a fish dying from thirst. As you  drank the cool water, you looked at Lucius as he continued to sleep, his  perfect face looking as if it was carved from stone, like the Gods  themselves had fashioned him to be a being of perfection, a God himself.

As  if he knew he was being watched, Lucius' eyes fluttered open, and upon  seeing you first thing, he smiled softly at you but then closed his eyes  and buried his face into the plush pillows. "Ughh my head," he groaned  into the pillows.

"I know," you chuckled as you used the Aguamenti  charm to fill your glass with more water so that Lucius could drink  some too. "Here," you said grabbing his hand in yours and passing him  the glass of water.

He raised his head up from the pillows and  took the glass gratefully from you, "Thanks," he said as he took a huge  gulp of the water, and finished it in one swig.

After drinking  quite a few more glasses of water, you and Lucius both slowly got up,  both not wanting to leave, but both knowing you had to go your separate  ways before tonight. Thinking about tonight made your stomach and  womanhood flutter with butterflies and a deep flush crept up to your  cheeks as you thought about it. Without the alcohol from last night  coursing through your body, you were now more aware of what was to come.  You still wanted it desperately, but now a bit of nerves were creeping  in.

Lucius had been looking at you lovingly as your mind raced,  thinking of the night to come, and he saw your flushed cheeks.  Immediately he came up to you and took you into his arms as he pressed  you against his solid body, his right hand coming up to cup the back of  your head as his fingers gently rubbed your hair and scalp, instantly  comforting you.

"Tonight will be amazing kitten," he said in a husky tone.

You  held him tightly, breathing in his natural, delicious scent. "Yes," you  whispered, glad he had remembered his promise to you about tonight, and  glad to know he hadn't changed his mind at all about it.

After  simply holding each other for an age, you both kissed one another deeply  one last time before exiting the Room of Requirement. Luckily it was  early still and no one was in the hallway when you two exited out of the  room. It could have been quite suspicious should any professor or  student had seen.

You walked a bit together towards the main  staircases and down a few flights, however once you reached the floor  where the Hufflepuff common room was, Lucius took your hand in his and  raised it to his lips to give it a chaste kiss. "I'll see you tonight my  kitten, meet me outside the Room of Requirement around 11 o'clock. I'll  be waiting for you," he said a hint of a spark in his silver eyes as he  smirked at you.

You bit your lower lip nervously but still with a sweet smile. "I can't wait Lucius," you replied.

With  one last look of longing at you and an excited smile, Lucius made his  way the rest of the way down the stairs, headed towards the dungeons  where the Slytherin common room was.

The day seemed to pass  by in a blur. You luckily had in your trunk a few potions you had  created from your excellent skills in herbology and potion making that  really helped with your hangover, and you spent the rest of the day just  reading some of your herbology and gardening books to try and calm your  nerves for the evening. Between reading and daydreaming, your brain  often wondered to what Lucius was doing in that very moment. Was he  nervous as well? You couldn't imagine that he was; Lucius always had the  air about him that he was perfectly in control and confident. You hoped  tonight would mean as much to him as it did for you.
