Enemies Working Together

9

For the next few hours, Cassiopeia tries to block Dumbledore out of her mind as he goes through her memories but only succeeds whenever he reaches a memory of Ron after the bond was formed. Dumbledore explains that the room was charmed so Ron can't read her thoughts unless he is in the room with her. When she leaves the room, she banishes all thoughts of her mission and goes to her room and lies down on her bed. So she isn't thinking about it, she runs through the memories of all her and Ron's kisses.

There is a knock on her door and the door opens to reveal Ron with a smile on his face.

"Someone was thinking about kisses and was distracting me." Ron says as he sits on her bed beside her and smiles down at her. Cassiopeia stands up and closes her door before sitting down on her bed beside Ron. Ron grabs ahold of her hand and interlocks their fingers. Cassiopeia squeezes his hand with a smile. They both lean in and softly kiss. Ron releases her hand to cup her cheek and Cassiopeia slides her hands into his hair.

They pull away to breathe and Ron rests his forehead against hers. Cassiopeia opens her eyes to see that Ron is already staring at her. They both lean in again and kiss. Ron's hands slide down to her waist and he pulls her into his lap without breaking the kiss. Cassiopeia continues to run her hands in Ron's hair, making it messy. Ron's lips trail kisses along Cassiopeia's jawline, making her grip on his hair tighten ever so slightly.

"Ron." She moans out as his lips attach to a sensitive spot just below her jawline. She feels him smile against her skin as his grip on her waist tightens. Cassiopeia and Ron continue to kiss and there is a knock on the door that interrupts them.

"Who is it?" Cassiopeia says and then holds back a gasp as Ron presses his lips against her neck, just over her pulse point.

"Your cousin?" Comes Nymphadora's voice and Cassiopeia has to concentrate to think of what to say to her, which becomes hard with Ron's lips pressed against her neck, trailing kisses up and down her neck.

"How can I help you, Nymph?" Cassiopeia asks, biting her lip to stop the moan from leaving as Ron's lips once again attach to a sensitive spot on her collarbones this time.

"Mum wants to talk to you about something." Nymphadora's says. Ron moves his lips off her neck, causing a very small and quiet whine to fall past her lips, which Ron smirks at.

'We are going to continue this when I get back.' She thinks at Ron, who nods his head in agreement and leans in to softly kiss her lips. Cassiopeia reaches up and cups the back of his neck to hold him there for a couple seconds longer.

'Hide in the closest til we are gone and then wait 5 minutes before leaving.' Ron quickly and quietly goes into the closet and Cassiopeia opens the door and smiles at her cousin before following her down the stairs and the two cousins go back to Andromeda and Ted's where Andromeda is waiting for her in the kitchen.

"Hello sweetheart. Nymphadora, you can leave now. I need to talk to her alone. Come pick her up in a few hours." Nymphadora rolls her eyes and leaves. Cassiopeia raises an eyebrow at her aunt who just gestures for her to sit at the table. The next several hours are the most awkward hours Cassiopeia has ever endured. Her aunt was given her the sex talk and Cassiopeia wanted to be anywhere but there, it didn't help that the headache from being away from Ron, was returning. Nymphadora returns to bring Cassiopeia back to headquarters and smirks at her cousin's red face.

"Sex talk?" Nymphadora asks with a knowing smirk.

"Yes and it was so awkward so I am going to go sit in my room until the blush fades." She says as she starts towards her room and plops down on her bed. The door opens and when Cassiopeia looks up, expecting it to be Nymphadora teasing her again, but is pleasantly surprised to see Ron coming into the room, closing the door behind him.

Cassiopeia sits up and Ron pulls her into his lap, the second he is sitting on her bed. Cassiopeia quickly kisses him and Ron eagerly kisses her back. The two spend the rest of the afternoon kissing or just cuddling before Molly calls everyone down for dinner. A couple days later, the kids all get their Hogwarts letter and Cassiopeia is not surprised to find a prefect badge in her letter. Ron also gets prefect and Cassiopeia is proud of him and furious with how everyone else is reacting.

For dinner that night, it is a little dinner party to celebrate the three prefects. Nymphadora hugs her little cousin and said that Andromeda, Ted, and her are all proud of her and hands her a little gift from Andromeda to congratulate her on getting prefect. Sirius also hugs her and Remus tells her congratulations.

That night, she opens the gift and smiles at the book on charms that Cassiopeia saw in her aunt's house and really wanted. She puts the book in her trunk and sits on her bed and just thinks about the summer, how close her and Ron have gotten, about the kisses they steal either in her room or in dark corners of rooms. She thinks about how Molly seems to be warming up to her. About how Arthur also seems to be warming up to her, not as fast as his wife but definitely better than his children.

Just before midnight, she hears a soft knock on her door and she knows exactly who is on the other side of the door. She opens the door and pulls Ron into the room by his shirt, kissing him as soon as the door is closed behind him. Ron softly pins her against the door as he begins to trail kisses down her neck, causing her to softly moan. Cassiopeia's hands slide underneath Ron's shirt and up the bare skin on his back and she runs her fingernails down his spine, causing him to groan against her neck. Ron presses his lips against hers and Cassiopeia slips her tongue past his lips as he runs his hands down to her hips.

Ron suddenly lifts her up and she wraps her legs around his waist and he carries her over to her bed and lays her down. The two continue to kiss and Cassiopeia grabs the hem of Ron's shirt to pull it off him when they hear a large thud that causes them to break apart. Staring at each other in the dark of Cassiopeia's room, Ron moves so he laying beside her and not on top of her as he was before.

Cassiopeia curls into his side and rests her head on his shoulder and he wraps his arms around her waist and rests his head against hers. The couple falls asleep pretty quickly after that.
