I'm back to the place where I have begun my life,
To the cold grounds and hell I will strive,
I shall not fail to bring out the other side of me,
Are you scared? If you're not, think again, you better be

Chapter Three - Prelude to an Illusion

When we arrived at Hogwarts, Virginia disappeared into a carriage and I didn't see her again until the feast. She only glanced over at me once, I winked, she licked her lips suggestively. I didn't look at her again for fear of a permanent hard-on.
The next day, I only saw her at meals, as I had classes. But I skipped dinner to go to the library - I wanted to start on a paper for Defense Against the Dark Arts. So, naturally, I was hungry and snuck down to the kitchens around midnight. As I neared the entrance, I saw the pear change into a handle, and the door open and close by itself. ' Odd. ' I thought. I tickled the pear and entered, only to see none other than Virginia talking to Dobby. ' Wait a minute, Dobby?! He works at Hogwarts now? ' I wondered. The elf wandered off and she sat down at a small wooden table, draping her cloak over the back of her chair. It was an invisibility cloak, she probably nicked Potter's.
" Fancy meeting you here. " I whispered in her ear. She jumped, turned around, and rolled her eyes.
" Oh, it's just you. "
" What do you mean 'just me'? "
" Nobody that would turn me in for being out past curfew. "
" How do you know that? "
" Because then I could tell on you. "
" True. "
" Are you going to sit? "
" I suppose. " I responded, sitting down next to her. A few moments later, Dobby reappeared, carrying ... strawberries and whipped cream? You'd think she planned it, the little vixen.
She picked up a strawberry and dipped it in cream, then bit into it. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything more erotic. So we sat for a few minutes eating - well, she was eating, I was watching - before she broke the tension-filled silence.
" You're not hungry? " she questioned.
" What? "
" You haven't eaten anything. "
" So? "
" So you wouldn't have come down to the kitchen unless you were hungry. "
" Oh ... right. "
She put another strawberry in the whipped cream and held it up to my mouth.
" So eat. " she commanded. Who was I to argue? I took at bite. She set it back down on the tray and scooped cream onto her finger. She lifted it to my lips. I opened my mouth and took her finger between my lips, running my tongue up it. She was biting down on her perfect little lip. She slid her finger down my throat, and across my chest. It snaked under my shirt and she splayed her hand across my stomach. Somehow, she had ended up in my lap. I slipped my arms around her waist, pulling her to me. She smiled shyly and looked away. I brought my hand into her hair and leaned forward. I kissed her.
She tasted like sugar and sex. A deadly combination. The kiss deepened, but then she broke it.
" We should go to bed. " she whispered against my lips. My eyes widened. She blushed, " No, I mean to bed as in to our seperate dormitories. " I laughed.
" Whatever you want kitten. " Okay, so I was a little disappointed, but this was only the beginning. She kissed me quickly, then picked up her (or Potter's) cloak.
" Goodnight my Adonis. " she said softly, then disappeared out the portrait hole.
