The winter break arrived as swiftly as the chill in the air. Snow had begun to blanket the grounds of Hogwarts, covering the castle in a peaceful, serene white. Students bustled about, excited to head home for the holidays, their laughter and chatter filling the corridors as they prepared for the journey back.

Aurora Black had always found the winter break to be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because she could escape the constant eyes of her peers, but a curse because of the solitude that often accompanied her during the holidays. However, this year felt different. There was an undeniable excitement thrumming beneath her skin, and she knew exactly why.

On the morning of their departure, Aurora found herself sitting with her friends in one of the compartments of the Hogwarts Express. Theo sat beside her, his eyes meeting hers every so often with a knowing smirk that sent shivers down her spine. The tension between them was almost tangible, and it didn't take long before Theo leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Follow me," he murmured, his voice low and suggestive.

Aurora raised an eyebrow but didn't hesitate. She knew exactly what he had in mind. Without drawing too much attention, she slipped out of the compartment and followed him through the narrow corridor of the train. The clattering of the train on the tracks provided a rhythmic backdrop as they made their way to a more secluded spot.

Theo led her to one of the bathrooms near the back of the train, where he quickly ushered her inside, closing the door behind them with a soft click. The space was cramped, barely large enough for the two of them, but that only seemed to heighten the intensity of the moment.

Aurora leaned against the sink, crossing her arms as she looked up at him with a playful smirk. "We really shouldn't keep meeting like this, Theo," she teased, though there was no real objection in her tone.

Theo stepped closer, his hands resting on either side of her, trapping her in place. "What, and give up our little secret meetings?" he replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Besides, it's not like I could eat you out in front of our friends."

Aurora chuckled, shaking her head. "You're insatiable."

"And you love it," he shot back, his lips ghosting over hers.

Before she could respond, Theo's hands were already on her, slipping beneath her robes and finding the sensitive skin underneath. His touch was electric, sending jolts of pleasure through her body as he explored every inch of her. Aurora bit her lip to stifle a moan, her eyes fluttering shut as she surrendered to the sensation.

The confined space only seemed to amplify the intensity of their encounter, and before long, Theo had her trembling with pleasure. His skilled hands and tongue brought her to the brink again and again, each wave of ecstasy stronger than the last. By the time the train began to slow down, signaling their arrival, Theo had given her at least seven earth-shattering orgasms.

Panting and spent, Aurora leaned heavily against the sink, her legs feeling like jelly. Theo, looking quite pleased with himself, adjusted his clothing and flashed her a smug grin.

"We should probably get back," he said casually, as if he hadn't just left her breathless and reeling.

Aurora managed to nod, still catching her breath as she straightened her robes and tried to compose herself. They slipped out of the bathroom one after the other, making their way back to their compartment with practiced nonchalance.

As soon as they reentered the compartment, they were greeted by the curious and knowing stares of their friends. Draco Malfoy, who had been lounging in his seat with a bored expression, glanced up at them and immediately wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"Could you two be any more obvious?" he muttered, clearly unimpressed. "It's disgusting."

His comment was met with a round of laughter from the others, and Aurora couldn't help but roll her eyes. She took her seat beside Theo, who wore a smug expression as he threw an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer. Aurora settled into his side, feeling the warmth of his body seep into hers, even as she ignored Draco's disapproving stare.

Despite Draco's distaste, the mood in the compartment was light, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits as the train finally pulled into King's Cross Station. The students disembarked, gathering their things as they prepared to head home for the holidays.

For Aurora, home for the winter break meant Malfoy Manor. The vast, imposing estate was a far cry from the cozy warmth of Hogwarts, but it was a place where she could find some semblance of peace. At least, that's what she told herself.

The first day at the Malfoys was uneventful. Aurora spent most of it in her room, unpacking and trying to ignore the weight of the manor's dark history that pressed down on her. By the second day, however, she felt the need to get away. The walls of the manor seemed to close in on her, suffocating her with their cold grandeur.

Without a word to anyone, Aurora left the manor and made her way to her own family's estate. It was a place she had long avoided, preferring to stay away from the memories that lingered there. But something drew her back this time, perhaps a need to reconnect with a part of herself that she had buried deep.

For three days, Aurora stayed at her manor, alone except for her dragon. The creature had grown significantly since she last saw it, and she spent those days tending to it, feeling a sense of peace in its presence that she couldn't find anywhere else. The dragon was a reminder of her past, of the fire that burned within her, and of the strength she carried even when she felt most alone.

But after those three days, she knew it was time to return to the Malfoys. The holidays were meant to be spent with family, and as much as she hated to admit it, the Malfoys had become something akin to that. When she arrived back at the manor, she was surprised to find that her friends had already gathered there.

Aurora's return was met with warm greetings and hugs from everyone. Pansy, Daphne, Millicent , Blaise they all welcomed her back with open arms, and for a moment, Aurora felt a genuine sense of belonging. But it was when she hugged Theo that things took a different turn.

As she wrapped her arms around him, Theo took the opportunity to grab her ass, squeezing it playfully. Aurora's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly pulled back, only to hear Draco's voice cutting through the air.

"Bro, that's my sister!" Draco exclaimed, sounding more amused than angry.

Aurora blinked in surprise, her head snapping toward Draco. "I'm not your sister!" she retorted, her tone a mix of shock and indignation.

The room erupted in laughter, the sound echoing off the walls of the grand hall. Even Aurora couldn't help but chuckle, though her cheeks flushed slightly from embarrassment. It was a moment of levity, a break from the tension that always seemed to follow her, and for that, she was grateful.

As the laughter died down, Aurora found herself glancing at Theo, who was smirking at her with that infuriatingly charming grin of his. Despite everything, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him, the magnetic pull between them stronger than ever.

But for now, she pushed those thoughts aside. There would be time to explore whatever was happening between them later. For now, she was content to be surrounded by her friends, to laugh and joke and forget about the weight of the world, if only for a little while.
