Chapter 29 - Last Chance

McGonagall dragged Kit to Professor Dumbledore’s office. The whole place was dark except for one candle lighting up the desk in the center. Fawkes the phoenix sat on his perch, watching Kit with curiosity. Dumbledore looked at Kit from his desk.
“ Miss Johnson?”
Kit looked up at Dumbledore who now was standing. He looked down at her, his eyes shining with curiosity. He nodded and then touched his wand to her temple. She froze, only just noticing that McGonagall had left. A silvery strand of something came from her head. Dumbledore set it in a pensive on his desk. It glowed, the scene only moments before playing before his very eyes. He took a memory! Dumbledore nodded and looked up at Kit.
“ It wasn’t exactly necessary to give Mr. Potter a nosebleed, but he shouldn’t have said such things. You may want to stay in your own common room Miss Johnson.”
Kit nodded somberly. She knew that he hadn’t yelled at her, but it would’ve been better if he had. He was too calm for her. It was almost as though he expected it! She got her shoulders grabbed and she was thrown into a wall around a dark corner before she could finish her thought. Cyrus slapped his hand over her mouth, looking her in the eye.
“ You okay? Did he punish you? You look scared… should I help you in any way?”
Cyrus was such a kind guy. Kit noticed this every time he opened his mouth to speak. He was a genuinely good person. She smiled and wiped a tear away. He really was too good for her. She hugged Cyrus and felt his hands push her further back. She knew that Cyrus knew every nook and cranny in Hogwarts. He had consulted Fred and George Weasley. He was taking her to a secret passage. He did plan on being alone with her again, so he pushed her along the wall, going towards a tapestry with golden unicorns and black panthers on it. He pushed it to the side gently, pushing Kit into the dark corridor. It was dusty and full of cobwebs. Kit was nervous. Did he really know where he was going?
“ Don’t worry Kit, we’re almost there…”
Cyrus pulled Kit’s hand and led her down the passageway. She blew a stray strand of blonde hair from her eyes as he pulled her quickly down the stone passage. He finally stopped. He stopped suddenly though, knocking Kit into the back of him. He felt shivers go up his spine as she slammed into him, her body making full, if not painful, contact with his. This was too much for him! He pushed her to the ground, kissing her forehead, then her cheek, then her lips. He proceeded to kiss her neck before she realized how much he was planning to do. She lifted him off of her with all of her strength. He was pretty heavy! He got the drift and got up, blushing and pulling her up too.
“ Sorry… got a little carried away there…”
Kit smiled and punched him playfully in the shoulder. He smiled back and continued to another indent in the stone wall. He pushed a dusty tapestry out of his way and pulled Kit along behind him. She recognized the hallway, but she couldn’t remember where from. She saw a totally blank wall opposite from where they were standing. She then knew where they were! They were in front of the Room of Requirements! She knew what Cyrus was up to. She grinned, knowing that he thought he was very clever. He paced in front of the wall, pulling Kit into the door that appeared shortly after his walking session. She noticed the room was a little bit different this time. There was a medium-sized bed in one corner of the room and romantic stuff everywhere else. Other than that, and the absence of the couch, it was the same. Cyrus led her to the bed seductively. She caught the hint. He pushed her back gently, laying his head on her stomach. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pushed his face up her body, towards her own face. He finally got there, grinning. He pulled out the ponytail she had fixed on the way to the room. He laid the tie on the table beside the fireplace. He ran his fingers through her hair, letting the long blonde strands fall from his fingers to her shoulders. Her shoulders! He loved how soft they were, so he decided that he was being deprived of their softness. He pulled her cloak off and threw it to the floor beside the bed. He followed suit with his own cloak falling on hers. He noticed that she was wearing a dark green tank top today. Her skirt was a black and green plaid skirt about halfway down to her knees. It was fairly short even for her taste. He enjoyed this part a lot. He laid her back on the bed fully, making sure she was comfortable. He unbuttoned his dark red shirt and threw it to the floor. He felt the cold air suddenly. He shivered a bit before lowering himself on the bed next to Kit. He smiled as she pulled herself close to him. She was warm too. He felt his hands slide from her hips to the bottom of her shirt. He lifted it off of her gently and dropped it next to his own shirt. She still had one layer. That was the only thing keeping him sane. That and the fact that he was freezing with the chilly spring air. She let her hands run from his chest to his stomach. He had muscles, even though it didn’t look like he might like to exercise. She felt the belt loops on his jeans and then made her way to the button. She unbuttoned it, letting Cyrus take care of the rest. He let his jeans fall to the floor with the rest of the clothes. Her skirt was next. He felt warmer as he pulled Kit as close to him as possible. He wanted more. He felt that it was okay to be selfish just this once. He smiled and kissed her forehead.
“ You ready Kit? I know this wasn’t exactly what you expected, but I… didn’t want to wait. Who knows when we’ll be in danger from my father again… and we may never have this opportunity again!”
Kit smiled, knowing that her and Cyrus thought alike. She nodded.
“ I’m ready when you are… just… take it easy… I’m tired…”
Cyrus nodded, stripping her last layer of clothing off. He let his fall to the floor as well. The fire burned a little bit lower, as if to give the couple a little bit more privacy. The rest of the night passed almost heavenly for Kit and Cyrus.
The next morning, Kit opened her eyes slowly, looking around. She forgot where she was. She stared at a dark ceiling. She remembered Cyrus bringing her to the Room of Requirements, and then they… slept together! She looked to the right of her own body and noticed a slowly waking Cyrus. He opened his eyes and looked at Kit. He obviously remembered the previous night too. He grinned, slowly sitting up and rubbing his eyes. She got up and began to get herself dressed. She threw Cyrus his clothes as well. They both got dressed and headed out of the Room of Requirements warily.
The halls were still dark. Cyrus nodded to Kit to signal her out safely. She followed him out and beamed widely at him. He hugged her quickly. He heard footsteps a little ways away though.
“ Come on! We’ve got to get outta here!”
Kit nodded, allowing Cyrus to drag her down to the Slytherin dungeon. He smiled weakly and let go of her hand. She looked around, then threw her arms around his waist.
“ I’ll see you later. You’ll meet me under the willow tree okay Rus?”
He nodded before kissing her lovingly on the lips. He left her there in the dark. He ran up the stairs and was out of sight. Kit sighed. She knew he had risked a lot by being in love with her. She really appreciated him for that. She suddenly sparked an idea! They were going to Hogsmeade today! She grinned slyly, heading down to the Slytherin dormitories. She made a right at the split in the corridor and headed to her bed. She would need those four hours of sleep.
