[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] It was very quiet, his slow breathing matching hers. The moment felt tense, he felt a wanting as he looked down at her, with slightly flushed cheeks, which really stood out against his pallid complexion. He bit his lower lip, not moving at all, hearing her words, and staring down into her eyes, before his eyes flicked down towards her lips.
Feeling a bit bold, he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. To be so shy about this was insane, considering they had slept together, and yet it felt different kissing her like this. It was a gentle, almost sweet sort of kiss, instead of the heating touches they had shared before. When he pulled back he licked his lips and bit his lower lip.
“You ready to go?”

My oh my, she just had to say that. It was actually pretty funny for her to use her brother’s little band of idiot’s little oath. He was sure they’d be pissed off if they found out she used it like that.
“I swear, Rose.” He nods and places a hand on her cheek. However, now he helped her up and suddenly she was very close to him. His face turned a bit red as she fell forward onto him. She quickly stepped back but he noticed her glance. He took the half-step forward, so they were close again. “Don’t be sorry.”
He gave her a charming grin. He licked his lips and looked down at her, his arms wrapping around her back. “I don’t mind being close.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He shook his head with a sweet sort of smile. “I don’t want you to ever feel uncomfortable, alright? Just tell me if something happens.” He was trying to be careful, and not smother her – given everything that happened, but he could understand how it could be difficult to… hold back. She was such a beautiful girl – but at the same time he was a bit worried that… this could happen again and if it did, he wasn’t sure if he could keep going.
“Don’t worry. Flirting is fine, just – you know… I don’t want to get in too deep too fast. Else I might drown.” He swallowed and looked away for a moment. “I can’t let this completely consume me. Get lost in… us. I need… to learn how to balance this.”
He chuckles and presses another kiss to her cheek and offered his hand. “Why don’t I show you around the house, so you can know where everything is.”

However he quickly relaxed and smiled a bit shyly. “Then I will.” Honestly he was looking forward to popping in on her and just… enjoying each other.
“Darling, my sweet, you earn your keep by just being you. However, I will keep it in mind. But you can refuse anything I ask of you, of course,” He nods running a hand through her hair and then settling on her shoulder.
“Oh thank god, because I’m not one to go out much.”

He much preferred it, even if it was more uncomfortable for a second or so. Then again, he once road in the car for three hours and he hated it. They were also uncomfortable. Not for about thirty minutes but after that, it was terrible.
“If you want me to, yeah.” He nods and grins, placing a hand on her chin and lifting it up so she would look at him. “And like I said, its for as long as you want, no strings attached, you don’t have to do anything for me. Even if something happens between us, I swear to you, you can stay there. That way… you don’t feel trapped by me I suppose. I just… want to make sure you feel comfortable.”
He grinned placing a kiss on her cheek. “If you want to, yes. There is a nearby lake, bars, restaurants, hell there’s even this place you roll around on – what were they called – skates. There’s one for ice and one for regular ground.”

“I was raised… quite muggle. And I hated every second of it.” He rather live as a wizard and forget everything muggle. That was why he supported Voldemort – he gave him the option of forgetting all the muggle in him. Throwing it out, discarding it as bad. Even if his dream job was that of a muggle and a wizard.
He smiled and nodded. “As I said before, you can live at my place whenever you want, I’ll be at Hogwarts most of the time, so it’ll be as if you have your own place. But that’s only if you want. Otherwise… we can meet up right here for our dates, and perhaps we can move elsewhere from here.”

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Yes, it was completely a power move. As well as ‘gaining her trust’. Who in their right mind would show off their mark inside of the ministry? Obviously, him. No one else would – not even Lucius.
“Grindlewald’s defeat brought forth reform that without his rise would never have happened.” Severus raised an eyebrow and pulled down his sleeve, looking around a bit uneasily. After all, even with all that he was doing, if he was attacked by say, fifty Aurors, he would be fucked. “Good guys is a relative term. It may have escaped your notice but there are three sides to this war. And Dumbledore isn’t on your side. The ministry has suppressed the voice of the people, its become corrupt and rotten to its core. You’ve sent away, locked up people for things they cannot control. You’ve locked up people for simply being proud of their blood. You’ve locked up people because they have espoused their beliefs. Yet you don’t lock up those who hurt their children. You don’t lock up the fathers of abused children simply because they work for the ministry. You go after underage children who have used magic to defend themselves against muggles. Perhaps you should look at yourself first, and then you can determine whether you are truly a ‘good guy’.”
He knew that she was trying to get information out of him, but it was going to be in the record soon. Therefore, it didn’t really matter. “I’m registering to become an animagus. Get my intent license.”

I know you from when I was in school here, as well as some research I’ve done on my students, seeing as in a couple years, perhaps even next year I will become the Head of Slytherin House. You barely qualify as a Slytherin. If the hat could make mistakes, I would say it sorted you incorrectly, but it did not. Likely you do not fit in any house and due to your blood, it placed you in Slytherin. You are lazy and arrogant.” He spat those two adjectives out, basically dripping venom all over them.
“Your manipulation may work on Professor Slughorn, but not me. The old fool is easily manipulated, but you’ll find that no matter who you are, you are beneath me.”

The Scarlet Letter
A properly questionable shop (partly by location) The Scarlet Letter is located in the first corner turn of Knockturn Alley, established for the last three hundred years. Primarily a bookstore, this place has been the subject of many Ministry searches and attention over the decades, but has never come under charges. It appears to be legitimate and provides an upper class version of a fine scribbers and bookstore. Writings materials, expensive inks, and handmade and ordered seals, the store itself serves a much higher clientèle then most similar places.
With the entrance one of the few places well lit in the alley, the window is permanently sealed against viewing, clearly from some previous's businesses idea of a display. The door is marked with a simple letter marking it instead of a sign. Two sets of doors prevent light exposing those entering from easy views from the other side of the alley helping to preserve client's identities. After the second door however the interior is quite well lit.
The shop is dominated and features around a beautifully crafted stair which winds up to the second floor and the main bookstore space. With a marvelous amount of lights from both fixtures and skylight, there is never any problems in seeing written details in this place. This store features not only rare and hard-to-find collectibles, but a fairly extensive auction collection from purchased libraries of the upper class society of both muggle and wizarding kind. Those wishing an impressive home library often start here before ever considering a lower class store type of modern writings.
The bookcase shelves on the upper floor (as well as the stationary stands on the lower which have a more limited book selection) have two effects for those knowledgeable. The first is for any customer who taps a wand on a book. This will open a view to see disturbances or invading Ministry officials giving customers easy advance information on noises which might threaten their purviews. As the store has a hidden access exit for emergencies to a conceal apparation access spot in the far back corner (marked with a gold seal on the floor, out only curiously) this has saved several members from 'uncomfortable' moments and guarantees it's success with the upper class.
The second access only works for employees and a hand placed in the right corner open an access to the back rooms where office, supplies, and a spot for a break reside. These areas are not often busy, but are frequently being used as all orders and purchasing happen from here including rares and repairs. Dark magic books are hidden here in a few special bookcases behind the wall, wrapped in brown paper with a special charm which allows employees to identify them easily, but is gibberish to anyone else. Warnings and descriptions are written on this paper for the protection of staff and clients alike. Each book must be unlocked by wand from the case which only allows store employees to do so, tossing anyone else who tries into the alley through a small hidden tunnel/slide. A few of these books are hollow forms hiding special dark items for sale to only special clients in the know.
If the shop manager touches the same space and says a word, a secondary access to the only sealed room for 'special meetings' by clients who have paid in advance is available. Rented on a no-questions-asked basis, this room tends to draw a number of select individuals over the week though the shopkeepers pay no mind to remembering any faces except the main renter. Drinks are a courtesy provided by the high tab of this room which is safe from scrying and 'listening' magics. All profits from this place the manager puts half to the future operation of the shop and the rest into a Gringott's account which is the Selwyn's working account.

In the village of Falstone near the England/Scotland border is a small side alley developed for a few generations as a wizarding street. Hidden along side the Old School Tea Rooms, it is a quiet area well insulated from local sounds by high walls and ivy. Maintained by the Selwyn family, it is a very private area heavily warded and much like another world compared to the village. A small door in the wall allows access to the street (not visible to muggles) for those who wish access to the area. It is only usable by those who live in the Lane due to saturation magic so possibly another access in emergency.
Six homes along it are carefully concealed from the muggle world and allow these families to have some connection without long travel. Originally founded by the Selwyn family nearly a hundred years ago, they own Number One Woodcroft Lane. Entrance to the Lane is hidden except for an unusual floo entrance, an old horse carriage along the street. Individuals can also appirate into this spot, but the rest of the lane (including floo access) is warded against magical travel. Most people in this particular area prefer appirating. Number One Woodcroft Lane has a door leading directly into a foyer. There are only two doors here, one right and one left. To the left is the living room and upstairs access, to the right is her father's Office. Since the house is used mainly as a home, the office space is for more family records and banking then business itself and thus is not often occupied. Straight ahead in the foyer is a fireplace to heat this area with a half-bath tucked around the corner. Around the other far end is a door into the dining area on the back of the house structure. The living room space is small and more family sitting room then expansive. The stairs wind up to (Guest room on the front overlooking the Lane. The stair itself accepts visitors led by a family member during a visit, but anyone returning would need another lead or be propelled out the top of the second floor into the Lane proper. The courtyard itself is half grass and half gazebo, a delightful place through most of the spring and summer times. The family often uses this as their living room in nice weather. Hidden from the air by the Lane's illusion and restrictions, there is no broom access at all. The formal dining room is tall framed with windows allowing in a lot of sunlight from the front side of the Lane (near the back of the Tea Rooms) and a very steady breeze when opened. This room seats six easily and leads directly into the kitchen at the back of the house, tucked in behind the living room space. The kitchen has views from another part of the village not found in the Lane to show weather easily. A breakfast table in the middle of the room is one of the few private family areas and where one of the house elves takes care of house service from a cabinet leading under the back stairs from here (an actually sizable space nearly the size of a full bath). The back stair connects the back part of the house with a door in the kitchen itself. This leads directly to the children's rooms (third floor) with the parents on the second floor. Any except family attempting to use these stairs (which is the only way to access the third floor) will find themselves standing in open air outside and falling onto the Lane's stone. A family member can held the hand of a visitors to get them upstairs, but they would be only able to access where they are taken. A house elf couple maintain the grounds, Lane, and house service from under the stairs which connect from here to the Kitchen & office doors. The second floor bath is a pair back to back between guest and family areas with no access between the two sides of the house.
The third floor contains three sets of bedrooms, the oldest brother's Bedroom on the front, Dahlia's in the middle across from the Upstairs bath (smallest with narrow window), and the younger brother's Bedroom overlooking the courtyard. In this same hall is a large painting on the wall which is a family artifact which allows one to step into a Mexican Cenote without leaving the house.

I never did.” Well that, and he hated cars now because that was what killed his mother – his father getting in a wreck with her in it. “I suppose it is fun knowing about things my fellow wizards have no idea about.”
She hugged him back. Good, that was good. It felt good to have someone there for him. He had been hurt, but Lily hurt him many times over, but he continued to forgive her for that. Why would it be different for Rose? “Should we set up dates for our dates? Every Monday and Saturday afternoons, perhaps?”

This is a partnership, Rose. We both control this car. It’s like… I might be at the steering wheel, but you’re at the breaks and gas pedal. Equal parts, equal responsibility.”
Taking in a deep breath he squeezed her hand tightly and then quickly leaned down to hug her. “Then you don’t have to be. Never again.” He knew how lonely felt, and boy, he didn’t want her to feel that. And he didn’t want to feel it either. It was the thing that sucked all the life out of him the quickest, even if his attitude said ‘stay away I don’t want to talk to anyone’. It was more of a shield than anything else. Also because most people he hated because they were dumb.

Just contact me with what you need and when and I’ll do what I can to provide it.”
Slow. She could do that? Was she sure about that? Either way he couldn’t help but grin, seeing that spark in her expression come back. He missed that. He had been in America for so long around idiots. He was glad to be back home, even if that meant Regulus and he were no longer on speaking terms. Just in general he felt more comfortable here. Like he belonged. The Americans were judgmental and always wanted to hear him speak for some reason. Apparently, his accent was ‘funny’.
“Remember, slow. However, wherever you want to be, I’ll be happy that you are satisfied. It is completely and totally up to you.”

Under the original proposal, of course. No feelings behind it. Pure business. I was meaning more of the whole ‘getting you your own place’ thing. I wouldn’t want you to feel indebted to me for that. And we’ll even sign contracts with the foundation if you want. I want to fund it, not because you’re running it. But because I think it’s something that is needed.” And partially swayed because you’re running it, but that didn’t matter. If it kept more of them to be more like Rose and Remus, well, that would be safer for everyone. They didn’t need anymore Fenrirs.
Sev sucked in a breath and nodded. He swallowed thickly and looked to her with his eyes big. “I want… to go slow. But I do want… more with you. I want to do this properly. Give you the respect and time you need to recover… from him, while being there for you. I, too, need to deal with my feelings regarding him. I have my own duties to attend to as well. I’ve… waited to talk to Dumbledore about the job, because then… he’ll think I was begrudgingly accepting it, and may be more willing to give me what I want.” He bit his lower lip and looked down at his lap as he leaned against the table, half sitting on it. “Will you stay with me?”

A ghost of a touch, just barely anything, but he could feel it as strongly as anything else. Perhaps it was because he longed for a touch of any sort, or because of the fact they had gone through a seriously shitty situation. Was he a fool for doing this? Was he a fool for letting her in again? Or was Regulus a fool for letting her go?
Nodding he quickly took her hand in his and leaned in pressing a kiss to her cheek. “You can choose whatever you want to do. But I have a bed for you at my place, either with me or separate. Unfortunately I don’t think I can fund your organization and get you your own place, and I don’t… think that would be smart given everything that happened anyways. No matter what happens, you’ll have a home with me. Even… if in the unlikely event something happens between us and we’re apart, you will be able to come here no matter. I mean it.”
