End of Sallow

You know I'll take your hand.

CW: GLOSSED OVER SMOOTS AND PTSD

"Case?" Theo had furrowed his brow. "You're sure?"

Levi had nodded, a grin on his face. Theo looked at him dubiously.

"Where'd you hear this from?" He asked Levi.

"Weasley."

"Which?"

"Dory."

"Hm." Case was two years above them, why would she show an interest in him? How did she even know who he was? But Case was in Gryffindor... With Dory Weasley, so she would know.

He and Levi sat on the floor of the undercroft. Theo had his class notes spread around him, and Levi had just bounded in like a golden retriever who'd just received some table scraps.

"I've been telling you that girls are interested!" Levi said. He was practically giddy with the information, whereas Theo just felt. Nervous.

"Come on, you have to meet up with her."

"Meet up with her?!" Theo asked, eyes widening. Levi winced.

"Right, sorry, the whole point in me telling you this, she wants you to meet her at the astronomy table over by that ruined castle wall by the school."

"W-when?!"

"Tonight!"

"Levi, I... I dunno, I've never even talked to her before." Theo muttered.

"You don't talk to anyone but me and Grace," Levi said, waving his hand dismissively. "Plus, with luck, maybe she won't want to talk."

Well, Levi had been right about that. Theo currently had her bent over the astronomy table, his fingers gripping her hips tight enough to bruise.

She was tightening around him, so close to her own climax. He'd already given her two and he was about to fall over the edge with her this time, except right at that edge, she screamed. And suddenly Theo was back in the dungeons, torturing that boy while Podex was walking away.

"Don't stop!" He heard Case beg, at the same time he heard another voice beg him to do the opposite. To end it all.

Before he could stop himself, he reached forward and clamped a hand over her mouth, to stop whatever noise she was making as he tried to focus on how tightly she was squeezing him. But it was no use. Case didn't seem to mind, moaning loud against his hand as he slowed and she started coming down for her high. Which was fine with him, considering he had lost any and all desire to finish himself. He pulled away, panting as he zipped himself back up and Case turned to look at him through her lashes, her dress falling back into place from where it had been bunched up by her hips.

"Amazing," she panted and he was only able to stare at her, trying his best to occlude away from that horrid memory, feeling his ancient magic come to settle in his mind. "Not that I'm complaining, but why cover my mouth? No one can hear us out here?" She asked breathlessly.

"I.. I just don't like noise."

---x---

He wiped the blood from his lip, panting right before another spell hit him. It felt like being punched by a graphorn. This time it hit him in the stomach, and he felt the air "whoosh" out of him.

"How long have you known the Sallow's were back?"

"It doesn't matter, she knows nothing." He huffed once he could get a breath in. "I just have to wait until I'm invited over to talk to Sebastian."
