Ice and Flame

Chapter 13

  Next two days passed like usually. Cath helped Severus, trying not to distract on thoughts about Lucius. Lucius was busy getting ready for the future celebration. It seemed to Cath, those day were endless.
Today Cath and Severus were cleaning the laboratory. 

"Severus, I have a deal to you" Kath said handing him a small bottle with potion.

"I'm listening" Severus said a bit surprised.

"You've been known Lucius for a long time" she said.

"Yes" Snape arched his eyebrow.

'What does she mean' he thought.

"Well, you should know what does he like, what are his hobbies. I have no idea what present to buy him for his birthday. I think he has everything" he said rubbing her chin.

" I was wondering what do you mean" he smirked "Well, he likes rare books, good wine and antiques".

Cath's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

"Severus could you go to the bookshop with me and help me to choose something worthy" she said looking at him questioning.

Severus didn't like the idea of spending the whole day doing shopping.

"Marilyn! This is all I need. Well, ok. I didn't buy anything yet. Let's go" Severus agreed.

"Wow! You attend balls?" Cath said in excitement.

"Well, I can't refuse. It's impolite" he said without enthusiasm.

"Don't be grumpy. We'll go and choose something tonight" she smirked.

"Okay" he agreed.

***
  This evening Cath and Severus went to Diagon Alley. First they went to "Flourish and Blots". Cath was wandering around endless bookshelves for a long time. When Severus began loosing his patience, she has finally chosen a book about ancient magic rituals. It was a rare example. Cath was about to fight some wizard trying to buy the book. And finally the girl was holding her cherished present in leather cover decorated with gems in and gold in her arms.

 
"Wow, Catherine" Severus said looking at her happy face.

"I always get what I want" she said.

  They went to some other shops. At the antique shop Severus bought an old dagger with a handle decorated with a silver snake's head. Also he bought a collectible wine.
Of course on their way back Cath visited clothes shop which caused Snape's discontent.
Despite his protest, potion master was waiting while she has chosen a new dress.
They apparated back to Hogwarts.

 "I hope you didn't forget about patrolling the corridors with me after bedtime tonight?" Severus asked.

 Cath rolled her eyes.

"I can't forget this" she said.

"Catherine, you should get used to it. It's every professor's duty" he said.

"But I'm not a professor yet. Well, ok. At least with you I won't be bored. I'll bug you" she said.

"You're a big meanie" he said looking at her.

"I do everything with love" she said with a cute smile.

Severus shooked his head.
After the bedtime Cath and Severus were heading to patrol. In the hallway they met Lucius who was heading from Dumbledore's office.  

"Good evening, Lucius" Severus said.

"Hi" Cath said with a smile.

"Severus, Catherine, good evening" Lucius said.

Lucius was burning Cath with his gaze. Cath looked at him in the same way. 

"Well, leave your tenderness to yourself. And think quietly or I'll vomit now" Severus said.

Lucius looked at him surprised.

"So, you know?" he asked.

"Of course. Catherine have talked my ear off . If to be correct, she have talked my head off with her thoughts" Severus replied.

"Fuck, Severus. What did you see?" Cath said blushing.

Lucius smiled. He found it cute.

"Don't be afraid. I didn't look at anything extra" Severus said.

"Well, you are the first who found out about us" Lucius said with a smile "Is it's so, can I steal Cath for a moment?"

"Ok. Don't be late at patrol" Severus said.

"Severus, I never late. Steal me, Lucius" Cath said.

Severus wrinkled and went to the opposite side.
Lucius's eyes sparkled. He took Cath aside.

"Let's go. I know one secret place" he said.

 He took her behind the big tapestry on the wall. There weren't students at this part of the hallway. He started kissing her passionately. 

"Luci, I missed your caresses so much" Cath whispered.

"So did I" Lucius ran his nose across her neck "Your smell drives me crazy" he said.

She kissed him passionately.

"I want you" she whispered into his ear.

  He quickly pulled up her skirt and she unzipped his crotch. He slowly entered her and started pushing inside of her. Cath hugged his neck and nestled on his shoulder trying not to make noise. He also nestled on her shoulder holding her hips. In a minute Lucius came with a growl. Cath joined him holding her scream.

"You're gorgeous, Luci. I'll think about it all night" she whispered.

"My little kitty is I'll be thinking about me and be naughty?" Lucius whispered into her ear burning her with his hot breath.

"Without any doubts" she whispered.

"Then I'll also imagine our dirty games" he said looking into her emerald eyes.

"Lucius, one more word and we'll have to have round two" she said.

Cath ran her tongue across his lips. He squeezed her hips.

"I love the idea, baby" he said.

"Me either. But Severus will eat me alive if I'm late for the patrolling" she said.

"I will have to let you go as usually. One day I'll steal you and never let go" Lucius replied hugging her tight.

"You'll regret it on the first day" Cath said.

"Why?" Lucius asked arching his eyebrow.

"I don't have the gift" she said.

"Me neither. I'm sure you've heard about it already. Well, we have to bare each other. Can't wait for tomorrow's night" he said.

Lucius kissed her gently.

"Me too, Luci" she replied.

  They helped each other to freshen up each other, went out of the tapestry and went to the opposite directions of the hallway.
