Luperca

End of term

Panting deeply, a thin sheen of sweat was on the young wolf's brow.  In the corner of her eyes she saw her mate light up a cigarette and take a series of deep satisfied puffs.  Hermione raised an eyebrow, and out of pure intellectual curiosity took the object mid inhale from the pink haired witch.  To Tonks's utter shock and amusement Hermione took a long drag herself. 

'Oi, didn't think you fancied a fag.' 

'Not usually luv, but...'

Silence

'...ahhh'.

*Cough, cough*.

'This thing tastes bloody'

*Cough, cough*

' awful!'

  *Cough, cough*

Hermione coughed furiously, immediately moving into a sitting position on the lumpy mess of a bed they shared.  Tonks sat up patting the younger woman on her bare back softly.

'That's it wolfy, breathe.'  Tonks soothed

'Oh bloody hell, why do the muggle cinemas make it seem like it's the quintessential thing to do after sex? 

...and, why do I feel so dizzy?'

*cough, cough*

'Ah that would be the nicotine on both accounts.  By all research the post coital cigarette is beneficial to the avid smoker.  This is due to the fact that especially if the sex lasts a good bit of time and is quite vigorous, like ours usually is mind you,'. Tonks said winking at the last bit before continuing.

  'So after the extended period of time without the drug the body then goes through nicotine withdrawals, so the when smoker has said cigarette they get immediately relaxed due to getting their fix of the nicotine...  Now a non-smoker doesn't get those benefits, hence the dizziness.'

'...'

'What?!? Despite my jovial manner I do have some intelligence, I'll have you know.'

Hermione threw her arms around the metamorphmagus, swinging a leg and wrapping around her still naked mate, bringing them skin to skin.

'Hmmm I never said you weren't.'  Hermione said merely a breaths away from Tonks's mouth. The wolf slowly bucked her hips, feeling her mate below tremble slightly. 

'You have no idea how your intelligence turns me on baby.' 

The metamorphmagus smirked at that.  'Oh don't I?'  She teased, grasping the brunette's nipples, tugging slightly at the tips, feeling them pebble in her hands.  She leaned forward and began kissing the young wolf in her lap, flexing her abdominal muscles against the wolf's wet center pressed against it.

'Ahhhummmhhh'. Hermione moaned out.

'How about you do something about it Tonksy'. Hermione growled, eyes flashing yellow as she broke the kiss.

Hermione had finished her exams and was told the results would be owled to her in one week's time.  That night she packed her things and stripped down to her underwear, crawling into the Gryffindor female wolf den cuddle.  Sleep came easy to her that evening, as she had slept only a few hours the night prior, and then had slept with her mate for hours on end followed by her exams...  Needless to say, she was exhausted.  Her dorm mates unconsciously cuddled closer to the wolf, allowing everyone to have the best sleep they had gotten all year.
