Last Time: After waking up Elizabeth went into her satchel study to take care of something while talking seemingly to the air. Once Annie and Poppy awakened she joined them and the three had breakfast. After which Elizabeth went over Annabeth's lesson plan's from the new governess only to grow furious. The lesson plans were remedial at best compared to what they had been learning prior. When she confronted her parents they explained that the old governess had been teaching the girls at an abnormally high level and Elizabeth decided to leave her old lessons for her sister. That evening after telling Annie she needed to be alone with Poppy; Elizabeth told her best friend all of her most tightly kept secrets including her being a member of the House of Grey and what had happened to her. Unable to verbally go into the details because of her panic attacks; Elizabeth revealed the pensieve she had taken from an old keeper's test and used it to show Poppy what had happened the night she was abandoned as well as nearly everything she had been up to since starting to attend Hogwarts.
***Trigger Warnings***Light Panic attack, more trauma talk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning Elizabeth began to slowly awaken from her deep sleep later than usual. The exhaustion of the prior night's events had hit her hard and allowed her body and mind to get the rest it so desperately needed. "Mmmm" The witch lightly hummed to herself contentedly as she pressed herself more firmly into the warm pillow her head was resting on and her body was wrapped around. It was so comfortable that she was reluctant to open her eyes and climb out of bed for the day, especially knowing that after her confessions there would still be much to talk about with Poppy. Despite how comfortable she felt at the moment; her mind and soul still felt somewhat raw after reliving everything she had shown her friend.
As Elizabeth cuddled into her soft, warm pillow it wasn't until said pillow let out a low moan and moved that the young witch realized the error she had made. She ignored the wave of heat that the incredibly pleasant sound sent through her body as she opened her eyes in a panic. The sight she saw upon opening her eyes was simultaneously thrilling and mortifying. "Oh." Was all the auburn haired witch could think to say as warm honey brown eyes peered up into dark hazel in a mixture of surprise and what Elizabeth now recognized as desire while the taller girl's head rested on the young woman's chest.
She knew that Poppy must have brought her to bed after she had passed out and assumed they had been holding each other in their sleep as they often had the few times they slept in bed together. However; their position now was different. At some point during the night Elizabeth had partially climbed on top of Poppy. Her arms were wrapped loosely around the hufflepuff girl who was on her back with her short dark brown hair splayed out against the pillow her head rested upon. One of the ravenclaw's hands was currently lightly squeezing a soft and barely contained mound as the shoulder strap of Poppy's gown had slid off to expose the girl's milky shoulder. At the same time one of Elizabeth's knees was firmly placed between the other teen's legs while Lizzy's other leg was wrapped under Poppy's so that she was straddling the brunette's appendage.
Poppy continued to stare up at Lizzy with half hooded lids and desire in her warm honey brown eyes. The young witch smiled hesitantly up at the auburn haired teen as she lightly bit her lower lip with blush stained cheeks. Lizzy was unable to move or speak as the combination of that look and the position they were in sent an even more powerful wave of heat through her body than before. The desire she felt to lean down and capture the full, pink lips on her own in that moment was nearly overwhelming. "Nnnh, Lizzy." Poppy breathily gasped in a husky voice as she looked up at her. It was only then that the spell broke and Elizabeth returned to her senses.
"Oh lord." Elizabeth gasped; defaulting to her old way of speaking as panic began to take hold of her. "Poppy, I am so sorry. I didn't- I-" Her dark hazel eyes were wide as she leaned backward only to disappear into wisps of silvery light and reappear standing beside the bed, her own gown disheveled and revealing more skin than usual. "I shouldn't have- I-" The teen's breath came in quick gasps as she struggled for air. What had she been thinking? She was going to ruin everything if she continued to do this. The ravenclaw had begun in the past week to realize that her feelings for her friend might be more than was proper, yet she couldn't stop them. And now she had practically assaulted the other girl in her sleep.
