Unexpected Comfort

Love Will Not Betray You, It Will Set You Free

A.N.: I should be working on the chapters that need to be written and not editing these ones but... I am not making this chapter private even though there is a sex scene at the beginning. It's mild and is over before you know it.

Iris woke up moaning, her breath coming in harsh, short pants. She tried to focus on the source of her pleasure and moaned louder when her eyes stopped on the dark head of hair between her thighs. Severus paused a moment to catch his breath before once more thrusting his tongue into her.

She writhed uncontrollably, begging with her body for more, she was so close she just needed that little extra push. In answer to her frustrated moans, Severus used his mouth to attack her clitoris and quickly thrust two fingers into her tight heat, curling his fingers behind her cervix and dragging them forward. She screamed in pleasure as that one movement sent her over the peak, her orgasm crashing through her.

Iris slowly came down from her orgasm induced high, a huge smile plastered on her face. Severus smiled down at her before swooping in and giving her a passionate kiss. "Happy Birthday, Iris," he whispered against her lips, before getting out of the bed.

She leaned up on her elbows smiling at the man, "A very happy birthday indeed!" She quietly slipped out of the bed.

"Your fathers should have breakfast ready by now." He smirked slightly, "I shall let them know you will be down shortly."

Iris laughed delightedly as Severus closed the door. She quickly dressed and ran down to the kitchen. She had a busy day, Mrs. Weasley, Ginny and Hermione were taking her out for a girls day and later in the evening her fathers were hosting a Sweet Sixteen party for her. It would be an interesting day if nothing else.

Iris trailed behind Mrs. Weasley as she led Hermione, Ginny and she towards the salon they would be spending the morning at. Ginny seemed more excited than she was, but she could understand the feeling. It was something that she'd never had the opportunity to partake in and most likely never would have if not for Sirius paying for the whole thing.

The three girls chatted softly as they made their way down the Alley, 'Mionè quizzing her on the nature of the spell the Dark Lord had used on her. "It just doesn't make sense to use a spell of this nature on his fiercest enemy," the bushy haired girl stated again, causing Iris and Ginny to sigh in annoyance.

"'Mionè, I'm more than willing to discuss the whole ordeal with you, but can we NOT talk about it right now?" Iris glared at her friend but that only seemed to rile the girl. Iris quickly stopped the girl and told her firmly, "No, 'Mionè! I would like to enjoy the first time I actually get to celebrate my Birthday!" Hermione quickly subsided with a whispered apology.

They soon made it to the Salon and were quickly shown to a private room. The room was spelled to look like a lush, grassy clearing in the middle of a forest. A hot spring bubbling in the center of the room and four comfy looking massage tables off to one side. They quickly changed into the bathing suits that appeared when they neared the spring and settled into the water with a delighted sigh.

"Ha... Iris? Have you gone to look at wedding robes?" Mrs. Weasley asked slightly stuttering on her change in names. "I'd be happy to take you to look around before the new term starts."

Iris smiled at the kind woman as she shook her head. "No, I haven't. I've decided that I'm going to use my mother's." She smiled lightly at the woman's questioning stare, apparently, that wasn't done in the wizarding world. "Since Severus and I are both Half-bloods, we've decided to have a ceremony that is a mixture of our heritage. It's common in the muggle world for the mother to pass down her wedding dress to her daughter."
