The corridors were quieter than usual after the Christmas break, the castle still shaking off the last traces of holiday laziness. Most students moved with the sluggish contentment of those who had eaten too much and slept too little, their voices echoing less sharply off the stone walls. Roland Greengrass walked with his usual measured stride, a neat stack of parchment tucked under one arm—lesson plans, mostly, though the real purpose had nothing to do with curriculum alignment. The air carried the faint scent of pine from lingering decorations and the ever-present chill that seeped from the ancient stones.

He didn’t knock on the heavy oak door to Minerva McGonagall’s office. A flick of his wand and it swung open smoothly. He stepped inside, closing it behind him with a soft, deliberate click of the lock.

McGonagall stood at the tall window overlooking the darkened grounds, her back ramrod straight, tartan robes immaculate as always. The fire in the hearth cast flickering light across her figure—tall and stern, with the kind of mature, commanding presence that had defined her for decades. Even now, in the quiet aftermath of the holidays, her body showed the strength of a woman who had spent a lifetime in control: broad shoulders tapering to a still-narrow waist, the subtle curve of generous hips beneath the heavy fabric, and long, capable legs. Her breasts, full and heavy from years of maturity, pressed against the front of her robes with each measured breath. The grey in her hair had deepened since term resumed, and the fine lines around her eyes and mouth spoke of sleepless nights and mounting worries. She looked tired. Bone-tired. But beneath that exhaustion lay something sharper—something hungry.

She didn’t turn at the sound of the door. Her shoulders tightened the instant the lock engaged, a small tell he had come to recognize. Only when the silence stretched did she finally face him. Her expression was carefully composed, but her eyes betrayed her.

“Roland,” she said, voice low. No greeting. No formalities. Just his name, rough with anticipation.

“Minerva.” He crossed to her desk and set the parchments down, leaning casually against the edge, arms folded. “I thought we might discuss integrating some historical context into your Transfiguration syllabus. The third-years are still struggling with the theoretical underpinnings of human-to-animal shifts. A few notes on the Animagus registration scandals of the last century could give them better perspective.”

She gave a short, humourless laugh that didn’t reach her eyes. “Is that what we’re calling it now?”

He shrugged, the corner of his mouth lifting in a faint, knowing smile. “It’s as good a reason as any to be here.”

For a long moment she simply watched him, her fingers drumming once against the windowsill. Then she crossed the room with that familiar, precise gait, stopping just close enough that he caught the faint scent of ink, strong tea, and something warmer underneath—her own skin, slightly flushed. Up close, the details of her figure were impossible to ignore: the way her robes hugged the generous swell of her breasts, the subtle flare of her hips, the strength in her thighs visible even through the fabric. She had always carried herself like a woman who refused to soften with age, and right now that strength only made the tension in her more evident.

“The troll,” she said without preamble, voice dropping. “Quirrell’s performance in the Great Hall was theatrical at best. The man can barely string two sentences together without stuttering, yet he burst in like a bad actor delivering lines. And the way he’s been twitching lately—pale as death, eyes darting everywhere, constantly adjusting that ridiculous turban as if it’s choking him. Something is very wrong with him.”

Roland nodded, unsurprised. He had observed Quirrell closely since term began. The man was a wreck: sallow skin stretched tight over sharp cheekbones, a perpetual sheen of sweat on his forehead, and a tremor in his hands that grew worse by the day. The turban sat crooked more often than not, and the faint, sickly-sweet odor that sometimes clung to him suggested rot beneath the fabric.

“Hagrid mentioned the animals in the Forest have been acting unusual,” McGonagall continued, turning slightly toward the fire. “He stopped by my office yesterday, looking more worried than I’ve seen him in years. The thestrals are restless, refusing to settle. Unicorns—usually so elusive—have been sighted closer to the edges than ever, almost as if they’re fleeing deeper threats. Even the acromantulas have gone quiet, which Hagrid says is never a good sign. Something is stirring out there, Roland. Something that has the Forest itself on edge.”

Roland’s expression remained calm. “The Forest has always had its moods. But yes. The troll was no random attack. Quirrell is hiding something under that turban, and it isn’t just a nervous disorder. I’ve been keeping an eye on the third-floor corridor as well. Whatever Dumbledore has tucked away behind that three-headed monstrosity is drawing the wrong kind of attention.”

McGonagall’s lips pressed into a thin, bloodless line. She looked away, staring into the dancing flames. The firelight played across the strong lines of her jaw and the elegant column of her neck. “I’ve spoken to Albus. He’s… evasive. As always.” Her voice dropped to a near-whisper. “I hate this. The secrets. The feeling that the castle itself is holding its breath, waiting for whatever storm is coming.”

Roland stepped closer, close enough to brush a stray lock of grey-streaked hair behind her ear. She didn’t pull away. Instead, she leaned fractionally into the touch.

“Then let’s give you something else to focus on,” he murmured, voice low and steady. “Something immediate. Something you can feel.”

He drew his wand in one smooth motion and pointed it at the center of her chest. “Rejuvenesco Tempus.”

Golden light spilled over her, softer and more familiar this time, like slipping into a warm bath. The years melted away in seconds. Wrinkles smoothed from her face and neck. The grey vanished from her hair in a rich cascade of deep auburn. Her posture straightened further, shoulders rolling back as strength and vitality flooded back into her limbs. The mature fullness of her figure became even more pronounced—breasts swelling firmer and heavier against her robes, waist tightening while her hips and backside retained their generous, womanly curve. When the spell faded, she stood breathing harder, eyes bright, full lips parted. The change was always startling. This time, she looked relieved. Almost grateful.

“Every time,” she whispered, echoing words from months ago, but the tremor of doubt was gone. There was only quiet acceptance now. “You never change.”

“Why would I?” His hands settled on her waist, fingers spreading wide over the familiar flare of her hips, pulling her flush against him. Her body pressed warmly into his—soft, heavy breasts against his chest, the strong curve of her thighs brushing his. “This is exactly where I want you.”

She kissed him first this time—hard, urgent, nothing held back. Her mouth opened under his, tongue sliding boldly against his own as her fingers twisted into the front of his robes, yanking him closer. Roland let her have the moment, tasting the tea and restrained need on her lips, then took control. He walked her backward until her thighs hit the edge of the massive mahogany desk.

With a decisive motion he spun her around, bending her forward over the polished wood. Papers scattered across the floor. He shoved her tartan skirt up to her waist in one smooth pull, revealing the full, pale curves of her arse and the sensible black knickers already darkened with wetness at the crotch. He hooked his fingers into the waistband and dragged them down to her knees, exposing her completely.

McGonagall’s breath hitched, a low sound escaping her as cool air met heated skin. “Roland…”

“Quiet,” he said, freeing his thick, heavy cock. He rubbed the swollen head along her slick folds, coating himself in her arousal. She was soaked, dripping with weeks of pent-up frustration. He pushed in slowly, inch by inch, letting her feel every thick ridge as he stretched her open. A deep, guttural moan tore from her throat when he finally bottomed out, buried to the hilt in her tight, welcoming heat.

“Fuck,” she gasped, the word raw and filthy on her lips. Her hands slapped flat against the desk. “Gods, you fill me so completely. I’ve been aching for this.”

He gave her one slow moment to adjust, the thick head of his cock nestled deep inside her, stretching her walls in that perfect, aching way she had clearly been craving. McGonagall’s breath came in short, ragged pulls, her fingers curling against the edge of the desk as she fought to steady herself. Then Roland began to move—long, deliberate strokes that dragged the underside of his shaft along every sensitive ridge inside her. The heavy mahogany desk creaked in time with each thrust, a steady rhythm that filled the quiet office.

McGonagall pushed back against him greedily, her generous arse rippling with every impact. The soft, pale flesh jiggled and bounced as his hips met her, the wet slap of skin on skin growing louder, more obscene. She was soaked, her arousal coating his cock and dripping down her inner thighs in slick trails. The scent of it—musky, sweet, unmistakably feminine—thickened the air between them.

“That’s it,” he murmured, voice low and steady against the back of her neck. “Take every inch. You’ve been wet for this since the last time I had you bent over this desk, haven’t you?”

“Yes,” she hissed, head dropping forward so her rich auburn hair spilled across the polished wood like a curtain. “Every bloody night. I tried to forget how full you make me. I couldn’t. I touched myself thinking about it and it wasn’t enough.”

He reached around her body, sliding his hands beneath her open blouse to fill them with her heavy breasts. They were warm and weighty, soft yet firm, the nipples already stiff and aching. He squeezed them roughly, fingers sinking deep into the plush flesh, then pinched both nipples at once, rolling them between thumb and forefinger. McGonagall moaned sharply, her cunt clenching hard around his cock.

He picked up the pace, hips snapping forward with more force. The wet, filthy sounds of him driving into her wet heat echoed off the stone walls. Each thrust made her full tits sway and bounce heavily in his grip, the soft flesh rippling and jiggling. He mauled them without mercy, kneading, slapping the undersides lightly so they bounced even more, thumbs flicking over the sensitive peaks until she was whimpering.

McGonagall came without warning. Her back arched violently, a sharp, broken cry tearing from her throat as her walls clamped down around him in powerful, rhythmic pulses. Her whole body shuddered, thighs trembling, arse cheeks clenching as wave after wave rolled through her. Slick heat gushed around his cock, soaking his balls and the desk beneath them, but Roland didn’t slow. He fucked her straight through it, grinding deep on every stroke, drawing the orgasm out until her cries turned into desperate, panting whimpers.

“Fuck—Roland—yes—” she gasped, voice hoarse.

He pulled out suddenly, the wet pop loud in the room. Before she could protest he spun her around, gripped her hips, and lifted her onto the desk. Her legs wrapped around his waist instantly, heels digging into the small of his back as she pulled him closer. He lined up and thrust back inside her in one smooth, brutal motion, burying himself to the hilt. The new angle let him grind right against her clit with every deep stroke.

“Look at me,” he ordered, voice rough.

She did. Her eyes were glassy with lust, lips swollen and parted, cheeks flushed dark red. Another orgasm hit her fast—this one sharper, tighter. Her cunt squeezed him like a vice, fluttering wildly as she came again, a smaller but intense burst that made her thighs quake around him. She moaned his name like a prayer, nails digging into his shoulders through his robes.

Roland kept going, one hand braced on the desk for leverage, the other mauling her left breast. He pinched the nipple hard, tugged it, then leaned down to suck it into his mouth, teeth grazing the sensitive bud. McGonagall’s head fell back, another low moan escaping her as her hips rolled desperately to meet his thrusts.

The third built slower, deeper. He could feel it gathering in the way her breathing turned ragged, the way her nails raked down his back, the way her cunt started to flutter around him again. He fucked her harder, the desk rocking noticeably now beneath her weight, the wet slap of his hips against her arse filling the room. Her heavy tits bounced wildly between them with every punishing thrust, nipples dark and glistening from his mouth.

When the third orgasm broke she arched hard off the desk, a deep, guttural moan vibrating against his neck as her body convulsed. Her cunt spasmed powerfully around his cock, milking him in long, rhythmic waves as fresh wetness flooded out around him. She was shaking, wrecked, tears of overwhelming pleasure pricking at the corners of her eyes.

Roland felt his own climax building fast now, a tight, urgent coil low in his spine. He drove into her harder, chasing it, the wet sounds turning even filthier as her cum coated everything. McGonagall’s fourth orgasm ripped through her at the same moment—her walls clamping down so tightly it almost hurt, a raw, wrecked cry tearing from her throat as she came harder than any of the previous ones. Her whole body locked up, thighs squeezing him like a vice, arse rippling as she ground against him desperately.

That was all it took. Roland buried himself as deep as he could and came with a low, guttural groan. Thick, powerful spurts flooded her cunt, pulse after heavy pulse as he emptied himself inside her. She milked him through every drop, her walls fluttering and squeezing, drawing out his pleasure until he was spent and panting against her neck.

They stayed locked together for a long moment, both breathing hard, bodies slick with sweat. He kissed the side of her damp neck, tasting salt and the faint trace of her skin. His cock gave one last twitch inside her before he slowly pulled out. A thick trickle of his cum immediately began leaking from her well-fucked hole, dripping onto the desk in pearly strands. McGonagall didn’t move to clean it. She simply sat there on the edge of her desk, legs still parted, looking thoroughly used, flushed, and strangely content.

“Better?” he asked quietly, voice low and satisfied.

She gave a shaky laugh that melted into a long, sated sigh. “You ruin me every single time, Roland Greengrass. And I keep letting you. Gods help me, I keep begging for it.”

He straightened his robes with a casual flick of his wand, though the scent of sex still hung thick in the air. “Lesson planning went well,” he said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

McGonagall’s lips curved into a tired but genuine smile, her chest still heaving. “Get out of my office before I decide to keep you here all night.”

He chuckled softly and left her to compose herself, the memory of her eager, broken moans and the sight of his cum leaking down her thighs following him out into the corridor.

***

The afternoon sun hung low over the Quidditch pitch, casting long, jagged shadows across the frost-hardened grass. A sharp, biting wind whipped through the empty stands, carrying the faint metallic tang of snow on the way. Most of the castle still felt heavy with post-Christmas sluggishness, but here on the pitch the Gryffindor team buzzed with renewed energy. Brooms hovered, cloaks flapped, and the occasional crack of a Bludger echoed like distant thunder.

Harry kicked off from the ground and rose smoothly on his new Nimbus 2000. The broom was everything the adverts promised—sleek, perfectly balanced, and lightning-quick. It sliced through the cold air like a blade, responding to the slightest shift of his weight or twitch of his fingers. No more fighting the old school broom’s stubborn quirks. He leaned forward into a tight spiral dive, pulling up sharply at the last second, the wind roaring past his ears.

“Bloody hell, Harry!” Ron shouted from the ground, shielding his eyes with one freckled hand. His cheeks were already wind-reddened. “That thing’s a dream! Mum nearly fainted when the owl dropped the package from your mum. She kept muttering about how much it must’ve cost and whether it was ‘sensible.’”

Harry grinned, cheeks stinging from the cold as he leveled out and hovered ten feet above the pitch. “Mum said I deserved something that wouldn’t try to buck me off mid-match. After last year’s… incident, she wasn’t taking any chances.”

Fred and George looped in on their Cleansweeps, matching his altitude with matching wicked grins. “Reckon you’ll be catching the Snitch before the other team even leaves the ground,” Fred called, eyes gleaming. “That broom’s going to make the Ravenclaws cry.”

“Or the Slytherins,” George added with a snort. “Speaking of which—look who’s come to watch.”

On the far side of the pitch, the Slytherin team was finishing their own practice. Draco Malfoy sat astride his Nimbus 2001, arms crossed, his pale face twisted in that familiar sneer. Crabbe and Goyle flanked him like oversized bookends. Draco’s gaze locked on Harry’s broom, lips curling with obvious disdain.

“Potter,” he drawled, loud enough to carry across the grass. “Bought your way onto a decent broom at last? How very… nouveau riche. Some of us earn our equipment through family name, not charity from a mudblood-loving mother.”

Ron’s ears went scarlet. “Piss off, Malfoy! At least Harry doesn’t need Daddy’s money to stay upright on a broom.”

Draco’s laugh was sharp and cold. “We’ll see how long that lasts when we play you lot. Gryffindor’s been scraping by on points lately. Another lost match and you’ll be fighting Hufflepuff for the wooden spoon in the House Cup.”

Oliver Wood, ever the bundle of anxious intensity, clapped his hands sharply. “Ignore the ferret, team! Enough showing off. We’ve got drills to run. Harry—Seeker line, full laps with dives. Chasers, passing patterns under pressure. Beaters, keep those Bludgers honest. Formation!”

Practice kicked into high gear. Harry flew wide laps around the pitch, pushing the Nimbus harder with each circuit. The broom responded beautifully—no lag, no wobble. He dove for imaginary Snitches, pulling up at the last second, then spiraled upward in tight corkscrews. The cold air burned his lungs in the best possible way, clearing the fog of secrets and visions that had clung to him since the train ride back. For these precious minutes, it was just him, the broom, and the open sky.

On the ground, the Chasers wove intricate passing patterns, Alicia Spinnet barking orders as they dodged imaginary opposition. Fred and George hammered Bludgers back and forth with savage glee, occasionally sending one whistling toward the Slytherin side “by accident.” Draco barked something sharp at his own Beaters, but the Slytherins eventually packed up and left, Malfoy throwing one last poisonous glare over his shoulder.

Down on the sidelines, Hermione sat bundled in a thick wool scarf and heavy cloak, a book open on her lap. Her eyes, however, followed Harry’s flights more than the pages. She looked different since the holidays—quieter, more composed on the surface, but there was a faint, persistent flush high on her cheeks that the cold wind couldn’t fully explain. Every so often her fingers drifted up to brush the collar of her cloak, as if checking for marks no one else could see. A small, secret smile played at the corner of her mouth when Harry executed a particularly clean dive.

Ron jogged over during a water break, cheeks flushed from exertion and cold, and dropped onto the bench beside her. “You alright, Hermione? You’ve been staring into space since we got back from break. More than usual, I mean.”

“I’m fine,” she said, offering a small, genuine smile that didn’t quite reach her usual sharpness. “Just… thinking about some reading I did over the holidays. Nothing important.”

Ron took a long swig from his bottle, eyeing her curiously. “If you say so. Harry’s flying like he was born on that thing. We might actually have a shot at the Cup this year. McGonagall gave us twenty points last week for that essay on Animagi transformations. We’re not dead last anymore.”

Harry landed nearby in a swirl of frost-kicked grass, cheeks windburned and hair even wilder than normal. He was breathing hard but grinning ear to ear. “It’s brilliant. Feels like I’m barely touching the handle most of the time. Thanks for coming out to watch, both of you. Means a lot.”

Hermione closed her book with a soft snap. “Of course we came. Though I still think you should wear proper padding. One bad Bludger hit and that fancy broom won’t save you from a broken arm.”

A loud crack echoed across the pitch as George sent a Bludger rocketing toward the goal hoops for target practice. Harry laughed, the sound bright and easy. “See? That’s exactly why we practice. Can’t rely on the broom alone.”

The three of them fell into conversation while the rest of the team cooled down—talking Quidditch tactics, Ron’s dragon stories from Romania (he was still milking those for all they were worth), and the latest House Cup standings. Gryffindor had clawed back a few points thanks to strong performances in Charms and Potions, but Slytherin still held a narrow lead after a string of flawless essays from their prefects and some suspiciously generous point awards from Snape.

For a brief stretch, it felt almost normal: three friends huddled together on a freezing pitch, breath fogging in the air, laughing about nothing heavier than Bludger technique and house rivalries. But Hermione’s fingers kept brushing her collar again, and her gaze drifted once toward the distant castle towers where the History of Magic classroom sat waiting. A faint shiver ran through her that had nothing to do with the wind.

“Oi, you sure you’re alright?” Ron asked again, nudging her shoulder. “You look a bit… distracted.”

Hermione blinked, then smiled more firmly this time. “Just cold. And thinking about that essay due next week. Come on, let’s head back before we freeze solid.”

Harry nodded, slinging his broom over his shoulder. As they walked toward the castle, the easy camaraderie lingered, but beneath it all three carried their own quiet weights—Harry with his visions, Ron with new dreams of dragons, and Hermione with secrets that burned hot under her skin.

The sun dipped lower, painting the pitch in deep golds and purples. Practice had been good. Solid. But the real games—on the pitch and off it—were only just beginning.

***

Later that evening, the Gryffindor common room had settled into a peaceful hush. Most students had already drifted upstairs to bed, leaving only the faint crackle of the dying fire and the occasional creak of an old armchair. In a quiet corner near the hearth, the trio had claimed their usual low table, now littered with the colorful wrappers and discarded Chocolate Frog cards from an evening raid on the sweet trolley. The fire cast a warm, flickering glow across their faces, softening the edges of the room and making the shadows dance along the crimson-and-gold tapestries.

Hermione sat cross-legged on a cushion, absently flipping through a small pile of cards while her mind wandered. She picked one up at random, turning it over in her fingers. The illustrated portrait of a bearded man in ornate robes stared back at her. Her eyes narrowed as she read the name printed in elegant script.

“Nicolas Flamel,” she murmured aloud, more to herself than the others. She sat up a little straighter, brow furrowing in concentration. “I’ve seen this name before. He was a famous alchemist. Supposedly created the Philosopher’s Stone.”

Ron paused mid-bite of a rather large pumpkin pasty, crumbs tumbling onto his jumper. “The what now?” he asked around a mouthful, looking thoroughly confused.

Hermione’s voice gained momentum as the pieces clicked into place. She set the card down carefully, as if it might vanish. “The Philosopher’s Stone. It’s said to turn any metal into pure gold and produce the Elixir of Life. Whoever drinks the elixir can live forever. It’s incredibly rare—most scholars these days think the whole thing is just legend, or at best a lost art from centuries ago. But Flamel… he’s one of the few people history records as actually having made one.”

Harry, who had been half-dozing with his chin in his hand, sat up sharply. The firelight reflected in his glasses. “Wait. That sounds familiar. Didn’t Dumbledore mention something about Flamel in that article we saw right before Christmas? The one about his work with alchemy or whatever it was?”

Hermione’s eyes widened with sudden clarity. She reached for her schoolbag and pulled out a quill and a scrap of parchment, already scribbling notes in her neat, precise handwriting. “Exactly. And remember what Hagrid let slip on the train? He’s been looking after something for Dumbledore—something incredibly valuable that Flamel entrusted to him. It’s hidden on the third floor. Behind that door with the three-headed dog. Fluffy.”

Ron swallowed the last of his pasty with an audible gulp. “So… You-Know-Who’s after immortality juice? Brilliant. Just what we needed to make this year even better.” He wiped his hands on his robes, looking distinctly uneasy. “A dog with three heads is bad enough. Now we’ve got an immortal dark wizard sniffing around it?”

Harry stared into the fire, his jaw tightening. The warmth did little to ease the knot that had been growing in his stomach since the holidays. Flashes of his cellar vision—Roland and his mother—flickered unbidden at the edges of his mind, but he pushed them down. “We should tell someone. McGonagall, or even Dumbledore himself. This is serious.”

“And say what?” Hermione cut in, her voice low but urgent. She tapped her quill against the parchment. “That we pieced it together from a Chocolate Frog card and one offhand comment from Hagrid? They’ll either laugh it off or move the Stone somewhere else and tell us to mind our own business. We need actual proof. Or at least to keep a closer eye on Quirrell. He’s been acting stranger than usual since term started—always twitching, clutching that turban like it’s going to fall off, smelling faintly… off. Like something’s rotting under there.”

The three of them fell into a heavy silence. The fire popped softly, sending a shower of sparks up the chimney. The weight of the discovery settled over them like an invisible cloak. Harry felt that familiar, stubborn pull—the same one that had led them to the troll on Halloween. Trouble always seemed to find him, whether he went looking or not. Hermione looked fiercely determined, her mind already racing ahead with possibilities and plans. Ron, for his part, looked like he’d much rather face another Norwegian Ridgeback than get tangled up in whatever this was.

“Alright,” Harry said finally, breaking the quiet that had settled over their corner of the common room. His voice was steady, though his green eyes remained serious behind his glasses. “We watch Quirrell. We don’t go looking for trouble—not yet. But if something happens, if we see anything suspicious…”

“We’ll be ready,” Hermione finished, nodding firmly. She folded the scrap of parchment with her neat notes and tucked it into her bag. “And we keep this between us for now. No one else.”

Ron let out a long, dramatic sigh and leaned back against the worn armchair, rubbing his stomach. “Great. More sneaking around. Just what my digestion needs after all those pumpkin pasties.” Despite the complaint, a reluctant grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Still… if it means stopping You-Know-Who from living forever, I suppose it’s worth it.”

Harry managed a small smile, though it didn’t reach his eyes. The common room felt smaller now, the fire’s dying embers casting a fragile warmth against the growing darkness pressing in from the windows. They talked a little longer—speculating in hushed voices about Fluffy’s weaknesses, wondering how many traps Dumbledore might have layered around the Stone—until the yawns became too frequent to ignore.

As they climbed the stairs to their dormitories, the castle around them seemed to hold its breath. Harry paused at the top of the boys’ staircase, glancing back toward the common room where the fire had burned down to glowing coals. Somewhere in these walls, a powerful artifact waited. And somewhere else, a stuttering Defense professor carried secrets that could unravel everything.

He just hoped they wouldn’t be too late to stop it.

The boys’ dormitory was dark and quiet when Harry finally slipped into bed. The curtains around his four-poster were drawn, muffling the soft snores of Ron and the others. He lay on his back, staring up at the canopy, but sleep refused to come. His mind kept turning over the discovery like a loose tooth—Nicolas Flamel, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Elixir of Life, Fluffy guarding something deadly important on the third floor. Quirrell’s pale, twitching face kept flashing behind his eyelids.

He rolled onto his side, punching the pillow into a more comfortable shape. The weight of it all pressed on his chest. He tried thinking about Quidditch instead—the smooth glide of the Nimbus 2000, the rush of cold air during practice—but the images blurred. Another face kept intruding. His mother. Roland Greengrass. That cellar vision from the holidays still lingered at the edges of his thoughts, unwelcome and vivid.

Exhaustion finally dragged him under, but it wasn’t restful. The dream came sharp and clear, more memory than fantasy, pulling him back into a scene he had no right to witness.

The Hogwarts Express rattled steadily northward, the Scottish countryside blurring past the windows in streaks of green and grey. Inside one of the private Prefect cabins near the front of the train, the air was warmer, quieter, the usual chatter of students reduced to a distant hum beyond the closed door.

Lily Evans sat on the cushioned bench, legs tucked beneath her, red hair loose and slightly tousled from the journey. She was in her fifth year, prefect badge gleaming on her robes, but right now she looked more like an exasperated teenager than the composed Head Girl she would soon become. Across from her, Roland Greengrass lounged against the opposite seat, one arm draped casually along the backrest, watching her with that calm, unreadable expression he wore so well.

“I swear, James has gone too far this time,” Lily said, voice tight with frustration. She gestured sharply with one hand, the motion making her robes shift across her chest. “They cornered Snape near the lake again after Potions. Sirius thought it would be hilarious to levitate him upside down while James hexed his trousers off in front of half the school. Snape was dangling there, robes over his head, pants around his ankles, and they were all laughing. Peter was throwing ink pellets at him. It wasn’t just teasing, Roland. It was cruel. Snape looked… broken. Humiliated. I had to step in and stop it, but the damage was done.”

She exhaled sharply, cheeks flushed with lingering anger. “James keeps saying it’s just ‘Marauder fun,’ that Snape hexes him first, but this wasn’t retaliation. This was four against one. Again. I told him if he pulls something like that one more time, we’re finished. I’m tired of defending him.”

Roland listened without interrupting, his grey eyes steady on her face. The train’s gentle rocking made the cabin feel intimate, the afternoon light slanting through the windows and catching the gold in Lily’s hair. She was beautiful when she was angry—vibrant, alive, the fire in her eyes making her even more striking.

When she finally paused for breath, Roland spoke, voice low and even. “I don’t really care.”

Lily blinked, caught off guard by his blunt response. Then she laughed — a bright, surprised sound that filled the small Prefect cabin like sunlight breaking through clouds. “Of course you don’t,” she said, shaking her head, still smiling even as the frustration lingered in her eyes. “You never do. James and his lot could set the whole train on fire and you’d just watch from the sidelines with that same bloody expression, cool as ever.”

She shifted on the bench, turning to face him more directly. The movement caused her fifth-year robes to part slightly at the collar, revealing a tempting glimpse of pale, freckled skin and the soft, full curve of her breasts beneath the white blouse. Her green eyes sparkled now with a different kind of heat, the lingering anger at James bleeding smoothly into something playful, intent, and unmistakably hungry.

“Well,” she said, her voice dropping into a low, teasing murmur, “if you won’t listen with your ears, maybe I’ll make you listen another way.”

Lily slid gracefully from the bench and knelt in front of him on the narrow floor of the cabin. The steady rocking of the Hogwarts Express made her body sway gently as she settled between his knees, her red hair cascading over one shoulder. She reached for the fastenings of his trousers with deft, sure fingers.

Roland’s hand came down to rest on the top of her head, fingers threading lightly through her soft, fiery strands. He didn’t let her open his trousers yet. Instead, he guided two fingers to her lips, tracing the plump lower one before pressing them slowly inside.

“Suck,” he ordered quietly, voice low and rough.

Lily’s eyes flicked up to meet his, bright with challenge and arousal. She parted her lips obediently and took his fingers into her warm, wet mouth, her tongue swirling around them immediately. Roland pushed them deeper, then slowly drew them back, fucking her mouth with deliberate, lazy strokes. The wet, obscene sounds of her sucking filled the private cabin, mixing with the rhythmic clatter of the train wheels on the tracks.

“That’s it,” he murmured, watching her lips stretch around his fingers. “Look at you. Perfect little prefect on your knees, sucking my fingers like a needy whore while your precious James is probably off planning his next prank with those idiots. Does he know his fiery Lily Evans gets this wet when she’s being used by someone?”

Lily moaned around his fingers, the vibration traveling straight through him. Her cheeks hollowed as she sucked harder, tongue flicking and pressing against the pads of his fingers as he slid them in and out, deeper each time until they nudged the back of her throat. Saliva glistened on her chin and dripped down onto the front of her robes.

“He’s probably telling everyone how he ‘won’ the great Lily Evans,” Roland continued, voice calm but filthy, his fingers still pumping steadily between her lips. “Bragging about the cleverest witch in their year finally letting him put his hands on her. But here you are, on your knees for me instead. Sucking my fingers like they’re my cock while the train carries you back to him. Does that make you wet, Lily? Knowing you’re his girlfriend on paper but my eager little cocksucker in private?”

She whimpered, nodding slightly as best she could with his fingers filling her mouth. Her hands came up to grip his thighs, fingers digging into the fabric of his trousers as she rocked forward, taking him even deeper. Her green eyes were glassy with lust, tears of effort pricking at the corners as she gagged softly but kept sucking, desperate to please him.

Roland finally pulled his fingers free with a wet pop, strings of saliva connecting them to her swollen lips. He wiped them slowly across her cheek, smearing her own spit across her flushed skin.

“Open,” he said.

Lily obeyed instantly, mouth falling open, tongue out, eyes locked on his. Roland freed his cock, already hard and heavy, and guided the thick head to her waiting tongue. She leaned forward eagerly and took him in, lips stretching wide around his girth as she sank down until her nose brushed his stomach.

“Fuck, that’s good,” he groaned, hand tightening in her hair. “So much better than anything James could ever give you. He probably fumbles around like a nervous schoolboy, doesn’t he? Quick and eager and over too fast. But you need this, don’t you? You need to be used properly. You need someone who’ll fuck your throat until you can’t speak for days and still beg for more.”

Lily moaned loudly around his cock, the sound vibrating through him as she bobbed her head faster, taking him deeper with every pass. Her hands gripped his thighs for leverage while the train’s motion helped rock her forward onto him. Wet, choking sounds filled the cabin as she worked him eagerly, saliva dripping down her chin and onto her heaving breasts.

Roland kept talking, voice low and steady, each filthy word punctuated by the wet sounds of her mouth.

“Look at you, Evans. Prefect. Top student. Everyone thinks you’re so pure, so untouchable. But the second you’re alone with me you drop to your knees like a trained slut. James has no idea his perfect girlfriend is choking on another man’s cock right now, does he? No idea you’re dripping down your thighs just from tasting me.”

Lily pulled off just long enough to gasp, “He doesn’t… he could never…” before she dove back down, taking him to the hilt again with a desperate moan.

Roland’s grip tightened in her hair, guiding her rhythm as he fucked her mouth in slow, deep strokes. “That’s right. He’ll never know how much you love this. How much you crave being ruined by someone who actually knows how to handle you.”

The vision burned itself into Harry’s mind in vivid, unrelenting detail.

Harry jolted awake with a sharp gasp, heart hammering violently against his ribs. The boys’ dormitory was still dark and quiet, the curtains around his four-poster unchanged. His face burned with shame, a sick, twisting heat pooling low in his stomach that he desperately tried to ignore. He could still hear the wet sounds, still see his mother’s green eyes looking up with that wicked, needy expression, still feel the rhythmic clatter of the train echoing in his ears.

He pressed the heels of his hands hard against his eyes, trying to scrub the images away, but they lingered — vivid, damning, and impossible to forget. His mother and Professor Greengrass. Not just friends. Something far, far more.

Harry rolled over, burying his burning face in the pillow. Sleep didn’t come again for a long, long time.

***

Roland stepped into the Room of Requirement just after curfew. The door shimmered into existence at his quiet request and sealed behind him with a soft sigh. The chamber had reshaped itself exactly as he’d pictured: a wide, torch-lit dueling arena with smooth stone floors, high vaulted ceilings, padded sections along the walls, and scattered stone pillars and low barriers for cover. The air smelled faintly of dust and old magic, warm from the flickering torches. It was perfect for what he had in mind tonight.

Daphne Greengrass was already waiting near the center of the wide dueling arena. Torchlight played across her figure, casting warm highlights and deep shadows that accentuated every line. She stood with the effortless poise of someone raised to command rooms without effort, but the fitted white blouse and dark skirt she wore revealed the athletic body she had been honing. Her breasts were firm and high, pressing against the crisp fabric with each measured breath, the subtle outline of her nipples visible where sweat had already begun to dampen the material. A narrow waist flared into shapely hips and long, toned legs that spoke of hours spent skiing and practicing dueling stances in secret. Her arse was tight and rounded, the kind of athletic curve that filled out her skirt perfectly. Blonde hair pulled back into a tight, practical plait left the elegant column of her neck and sharp cheekbones exposed, a few rebellious strands already sticking to her damp skin from whatever warm-up she had put herself through.

She looked every inch the poised Greengrass heiress—until her grey eyes met his. Something sharper flickered there, a volatile mix of hunger, jealousy, and simmering frustration that made the air between them feel thicker.

Roland closed the distance with measured steps, shrugging off his outer robe and rolling up his sleeves as he went. “Evening,” he said calmly. “You’re early.”

Daphne gave a sharp, controlled nod, her wand already held loosely at her side. “I wanted time to prepare properly. The Alps were… instructive in their own way, but they weren’t enough. Not nearly enough.”

Roland raised an eyebrow, giving her space to continue as he loosened his collar. Daphne took a slow breath, clearly choosing her words with care, though the edge in her voice betrayed how much she had been holding back.

“Father insisted on that ridiculous chalet in Switzerland,” she began, voice low and even, carrying the crisp accent of old pure-blood breeding. “Endless days on the slopes pretending we were there for the scenery. I carved through the powder every morning, pushing myself until my thighs burned and my lungs ached just to stay sharp. Then came the evenings—interminable dinners with the Zabinis, the Rosiers, the Notts, and half a dozen other families circling like vultures. All of them droning on about bloodlines, marriage contracts, and ancient alliances as if whispering the right name at the right party could still reshape the world.”

She shifted her weight, the movement drawing Roland’s gaze briefly to the subtle flex of muscle in her thighs and the way her blouse clung to the swell of her breasts. Her eyes never left his.

“I smiled when I was supposed to smile. I nodded at their boring lectures about leverage and old grudges. Blaise Zabini spent half the trip trying to impress me—newest broom model, some exaggerated tale about nearly outflying a Hungarian Horntail during a reserve visit. As if any of that mattered. He’s all feathers and no substance, just like the rest of them. Pathetic.”

Daphne’s jaw tightened, her grey eyes flashing with remembered irritation. “But the entire time I was there, freezing on those mountains and listening to their empty talk, all I could think about was you here. With her. While I was smiling through tedious conversations about who owed whom what from the last Goblin Rebellion, that Mudblood Granger was probably on her knees in your office every single night. Learning things I earned. Taking things that should have been mine.”

There was no whine in her tone, no theatrical outburst. Just cold, focused intent laced with raw jealousy. She took a step closer, close enough that he could smell the faint trace of her perfume mixed with clean sweat.

“I practiced every night in my room,” she continued, voice dropping. “Non-verbal shields until my magic felt raw. Quick-draw curses in front of the mirror until my wrist ached. I even tried occlumency against my own reflection, pushing until my head pounded and my eyes watered. I won’t be second to her, Roland. Not in the classroom. Not with a wand. Not in power, not in usefulness…” Her gaze held his, steady and unblinking. “…and certainly not in pleasing you.”

Roland studied her for a long moment. The torchlight shifted across her face, highlighting the faint flush on her cheeks and the rapid rise and fall of her chest. He could see the tension in her shoulders, the way her fingers flexed around her wand, the determined set of her mouth. She was a blade that had been sharpened in the cold Swiss air—eager, dangerous, and entirely his.

“Then show me what you learned,” he said simply.

Daphne’s lips curved into a small, fierce smile. She raised her wand, grey eyes locked on his with unmistakable promise.

They started with non-verbal work.

Roland began simply, firing a series of stinging hexes and disarming jinxes without a single spoken word. The spells left his wand in sharp, silent bursts of red and blue light that cut through the torchlit air. Daphne moved with fluid grace, her fitted white blouse already starting to cling to the curves of her breasts as she twisted and blocked. Crisp, wordless Protegos shimmered into existence like panes of glass, absorbing the impacts with faint ripples. She countered almost instantly — a silent Trip Jinx aimed low at his leading foot. Roland sidestepped at the last second, the spell cracking against the stone floor where his boot had been.

He answered with a mild cutting curse at her ankles. Daphne leapt cleanly over it, her dark skirt riding up to reveal the toned muscle of her thighs, then followed through with a whispered Gust charm that kicked up a cloud of dust from the arena floor while she fired a non-verbal Stunner right behind it.

Roland deflected the dust with a casual wave of his wand and threw up a quick shield that absorbed the Stunner in a flash of light. He closed the distance in two long strides, grabbed her wand arm just above the elbow, and twisted with precise control — enough to disarm her without causing real pain. Her wand clattered across the stone. Daphne spun free immediately, breathing harder now, strands of blonde hair escaping her tight plait and sticking to the damp skin of her neck. She summoned the wand back with a sharp, wordless Accio, catching it cleanly.

“Faster,” Roland said, voice calm and even as he circled her. “You’re still thinking too much before you move. Anticipate. Don’t react.”

Daphne’s grey eyes narrowed, a spark of fierce determination flashing across her face. She came at him again, more aggressive this time. They wove between the scattered stone pillars, using the environment exactly as they had practiced before the break. She slid low under one conjured barrier, firing a silent Jelly-Legs Jinx that nearly toppled him. Roland recovered with a quick hop, sent a disarming charm that clipped her side and made her stagger, then pressed the attack. She ducked behind a pillar, then emerged on the other side with a non-verbal Expelliarmus that forced him to shield hard, the force of it pushing him back a step.

She was improving — noticeably. Her movements were sharper, her timing better. But there was still that fraction of hesitation, that tiny tell before she committed to a spell. Roland noted it all while keeping the pressure on.

They moved through obstacle drills next. Roland conjured low barriers and shifting pillars that forced her to change direction constantly, testing her footwork and spatial awareness. Daphne adapted quickly, her athletic figure on full display as she vaulted, slid, and spun. Sweat had begun to bead along her collarbone and trickle down between her breasts, making the white blouse translucent in patches and outlining the firm shape of her nipples. Her skirt rode up with every aggressive movement, revealing the smooth, toned lines of her legs and the curve of her arse as she twisted to fire off another curse.

She landed a solid hit — a stinging hex that caught his shoulder and made him grunt at the sharp, burning pain. A flash of raw satisfaction crossed her face, lips parting in a brief, fierce smile. Roland returned it with interest, a body-bind curse that caught her mid-step and dropped her hard to one knee. For a moment she strained against it, muscles corded in her arms and thighs, then broke free with a surge of raw magical will. Sweat now ran freely down her neck and soaked the front of her blouse, plastering it to her skin.

By the end of the combat portion she was breathing raggedly but still controlled, chest heaving, blonde hair coming fully loose from its plait and framing her flushed face. Roland had her backed against one of the taller pillars, the stone cool against her back. He stepped in close, one hand resting lightly on her throat — not squeezing, simply holding her in place with the weight of his palm — while the tip of his wand pressed just under her ribs.

“Good,” he said quietly, studying her flushed face and the way her grey eyes burned up at him. “You’re improving. Noticeably. Your timing is cleaner, your footwork stronger. But you’re still telegraphing your intent a fraction before you cast. That hesitation will get you killed if it ever matters.”

Daphne’s chest rose and fell against him, her breasts brushing his torso with every breath. Sweat glistened on her skin, her blouse now nearly see-through and clinging to every curve. She looked up at him, frustration, determination, and that deeper, sharper hunger she never quite hid all warring in her expression.

When he finally released her and stepped back, Daphne stayed leaning against the pillar for a long moment, her wand hanging loose at her side. Her chest rose and fell in deep, measured breaths as she stared at the stone floor, strands of damp blonde hair clinging to her flushed cheeks and neck. Sweat traced slow paths down her skin, soaking the front of her white blouse until the fabric clung transparently to the full, firm swell of her breasts, outlining the stiff peaks of her nipples. The ache between her thighs had only grown sharper during the fight, a hot, insistent throb that matched the rapid beat of her heart.

Then her shoulders squared. She lifted her head and met his gaze directly, grey eyes burning with unwavering intensity.

“I am a Greengrass,” she said, her voice low, steady, and filled with quiet conviction. There were no theatrics, no raised volume—just raw, honest declaration. “I will not be second to that Mudblood. Not in anything.”

She took a small step forward, the torchlight catching the sheen of sweat on her collarbone and the way her soaked blouse molded to every curve.

“In the classroom, I will be sharper, faster, more ruthless with my answers. I will anticipate every question, every trap you set, and I will surpass her. I will make sure every student—and especially you—sees that my mind is superior. That my understanding runs deeper than her frantic note-taking and bushy-haired eagerness.”

Daphne’s fingers tightened around her wand, her grip firm.

“With a wand, I will be deadlier. I have spent every night in Switzerland drilling non-verbal spells until my arm burned. I will master the curses you teach me. I will anticipate your moves before you make them. I will stand at your side in any fight and be the weapon you need—precise, unrelenting, and without hesitation. No Mudblood bookworm will ever match what I can do with magic.”

Her voice dropped further, becoming huskier, more intimate, as her eyes darkened with intent. She licked her lips slowly, tasting the salt of her own sweat.

“And in your bed…” She let the words linger, stepping even closer so the heat of her body brushed against him. “I will not be second there either. I will kneel for you whenever you want, wherever you want. I will take you down my throat until my eyes water and my jaw aches, swallowing every drop like the eager little slut you’ve trained me to be. I will spread my legs and beg you to fuck me raw—my cunt, my arse, my tits—however you desire, as many times as you need. I will ride you until I’m shaking and dripping, then clean you with my tongue afterward. I will let you use me in front of her if that’s what it takes. I will let you bend me over your desk while she watches, or ride your cock while she sits in the corner waiting her turn. I will do anything—everything—to prove that my body belongs to you more completely than hers ever could. I will be wet and ready for you every single night, no matter how sore or exhausted I am from training. Because pleasing you is what I was made for.”

The words hung between them in the torchlit space, heavy and unyielding, thick with raw desire and absolute commitment.

Roland holstered his wand slowly. He watched her for a long beat—the sweat glistening on her skin, the rapid rise and fall of her chest that made her breasts strain against the soaked fabric, the fierce set of her jaw, the way her blouse clung transparently to the flat plane of her stomach and the hard points of her nipples. He took it all in, letting the silence stretch.

“We’ll see soon enough,” he said simply.

He offered nothing else—no praise, no comfort, no immediate reward or punishment. He simply turned toward the door, his robes settling around him as he walked away.

Daphne remained against the pillar, fists clenched tightly at her sides. The ache between her legs throbbed in time with her racing pulse, hot and insistent, while the sting of his cool indifference burned hotter than any hex he had thrown tonight. She wanted to call after him. She wanted to demand he turn around and finish what the fight had started. Instead she stayed silent, breathing through the frustration until it settled into something colder, sharper, and far more dangerous.

She would prove it. She would overshadow Granger in every single way that mattered — in magic, in usefulness, in the way she could take him, please him, serve him. And when the time came, Roland would have no choice but to see exactly who belonged at his side.

The lesson wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
