Victor Rookwood is back - and he's more dangerous than ever.
Despite what MC thought, she never truly defeated him. Rookwood wasn't killed; he was merely weakened, slipping into the shadows to rebuild his forces. Now, he's returned with a single goa...
Victor handed me another glass of punch, and I found myself downing two more, on top of the one I had earlier. Despite his past as a dark wizard, he was surprisingly gentle with me now. It was as if, since the last time we had met, he had somehow found a heart — and he was pouring all of it onto me.
I think I'm beginning to fall in love with this man: my Lord. My King.
"Let's make our way to that repository, love. I want to ensure that you will have plenty of time to acclimate to its power before we set out."
I nodded in agreement. He helped me to my feet and gave me a beautiful purple dress, the same shade as his coat. It was sleeveless with one shoulder and a long attached scarf draping to my knees. It was short, and he handed me a pair of black chunky heels to go with it. There was also a black thigh holster. "I'm sure your wand will turn up, sweetheart. For now, use this one." He handed me a basic secondhand. It'll do for now.

"I'll be outside when you're ready." He closed the door behind him to leave me to change. I guess he truly has grown into a gentleman.
After undressing from my plaid dress and what was left of my pantyhose, I slipped on the new outfit. I looked damn good in it, it hugged me beautifully. I stepped out of the room and into the grand foyer of the castle where Victor and a handful of Ashwinders were waiting for me. He had reapplied his top hat. He took my hands and placed a tender kiss on my cheek before looking me over.
"Absolutely perfect. I think a quick formal ceremony to celebrate our union is in order."
I looked at those standing around us. Apparent witnesses.
A man that I did not recognize centered himself next to us. Victor looked at him, still holding onto my hands. "Would you do the honors, Valdis?"
"Of course, sir."
After some words alluding to our future as the most powerful wizarding couple, Victor slid a gorgeous ring onto my left hand. The pear-shaped stone, crafted from obsidian, caught the light, and I couldn't tear my eyes away from its beauty. I could now faintly feel the chill of his cum against the skin of my nether region, it was beginning to soak my panties.
This Valdis fellow continued with the ceremony, but I paid no attention. I just wanted it to be over with so I could officially be Mrs. MC Rookwood. I couldn't wait any longer.
"Yeah, yeah, that's all well and good, Valdis, but I think we can go ahead and wrap it up here, eh?" I nodded at him.
"Of course, Miss. By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you-"
I didn't wait for him to finish before jumping into Victor's arms, embracing him in a deep kiss and wrapping my legs around his waist. He laughed against my lips and held me up by my ass. Our kiss turned into a makeout surrounded by cheers and hollers from his gang.
We eventually released and he set me down. "You'll have a ring of equal grandeur fit for a man of your legacy soon, Victor."
He chuckled at me, placing his thumb on my chin. "You are so precious. Don't worry about me. We must be getting to work anyway. Shall we get going?"
I nodded. "I'll apparate us. I've been there enough times as it is."
He smirked. "Your versatility knows no limits, MC."
I linked my arm with his and focused on the repository below Hogwarts. After some contracting and straining, we had arrived. As per usual, I was a little unsteady at the sensation, my nausea wanting to take over. Victor held me steady.
"Are you alright, love?"
I put my hand to my head. "Yes, just a little queasy from the apparating. I'm still getting used to it." He kissed my forehead in response.
I looked down at the newfound weight on my left hand as I held it up. This was going to take some getting used to.

Sebastian POV
I regained consciousness, still on the cold stone floor of my dorm. Poppy held my head up and put a vial to my lips. Everyone's voices were slowly beginning to fade back into existence.
"...genweld, Sebastian. Drink it."
I didn't ask questions and drank it down, my vision and hearing fully clearing back up quickly. "Fuck. I passed out, didn't I?"
"Yes," they all said in unison.
"How long was I out?"
"Only a couple of minutes," Poppy reassured.
I sat up on my elbows, rubbing my head. Everything was coming back. "Is there anything in the notebook about where MC might have been taken? We're losing valuable time."
"Yes, actually," Natty said confidently. "It says here that the Ashwinders that were contacting Charles were ordering him to entrap MC so they could bring her back to Rookwood's manor in Manor Cape. But..."
"But what?" I sat up fully at her hesitation.
"They aren't planning on staying there for long. Only to complete some sort of ceremony before finalizing 'the process' at the repository below Hogwarts. But it doesn't elaborate further." She shut the book.
"Shite..." I stood up and began pacing.
"Well, that gives us two possibilities as to where she might be," Ominis remained optimistic. "We should divide and conquer. We don't know which one she will be at."
Natty spoke up. "I'll head to Manor Cape. I'm familiar with that castle. That's where MC and I apprehended Theophilus Harlow and took down a few dozen Ashwinders. Nothing I can't handle."
"I'll go with you, Natty." Poppy bravely stood next to her.
Ominis nodded. "Very well. Sebastian, it looks like you and I are heading to the Map Chamber."
I was lucky that MC had shown me the Map Chamber following her defeat of Ranrok. She fed my curiosity as to the sight of the repository and entrusted me with its knowledge.
Night had already fallen outside. "No time to lose. Good luck, girls. Be careful."
We parted ways and Ominis and I headed for the Map Chamber. Part of me was hoping to find her there, but I was also hoping that she wouldn't be.
