Chapter 24: Spinner's End
A loud crack echoed along the bank of a dirty, foul-smelling river. In the distance, a towering, dilapidated chimney of an abandoned mill loomed in the shadows of the darkened sky.
The outline of two figures made their ways up from the waterside, through the overgrown and littered brush. Silently the two forms slipped over the line of old rusted railing and hurried down a cobblestone lane.
They had no reason to hide, as there was no one who lived here anymore. Rows of collapsing, run downed brick houses lined both sides of the street. Their windows dusty and broken, and their doors splintered and rotten.
There was hardly any lights here, where as most of the streetlamps were broken or just all around burned out. The two rounded a corner, and hurried down the lane called Spinner's End. Their footsteps echoed off of the stone, as they approached the very last house on the street.
The black figures stopped in front of a house that seemed to be in a bit better condition than the rest that surround it.
"Lumos," a male voice whispered, and a bright light lit up the pair.
"Well, well," Katherine smirked, looking up at the aging building. "Home sweet home." Severus snortly light in response, before waving his wand in a series of complex moves in order to remove his wards. Wordlessly, they moved to the door and slipped inside.
"Lumos," Severus muttered again, and a soft light lit the candles and lamps in the small sitting room. It was just like Katherine remembered; the walls were still completely covered by books, the threadbare lounge and old armchair were the same ones that had been there over sixteen years ago.
Cobwebs and dust littered the room, but with one quick wave of his wand, Severus cleared the debris. The two threw off their cloaks and Severus gestured to Katherine to follow him into the kitchen.
"Hungry?" Severus asked, as he moved from cupboard to cupboard, opening and closing each in search of something to eat.
"A bit," Katherine replied, as she sat down at the small table. The kitchen was barely big enough for the two of them, besides the table, two chairs and of course the counters. But it was enough for them.
"I'm afraid that's all there is as of now," Severus said, as he threw the only three edible items down into the kitchen table. Katherine wrinkled her nose in disgusted as she eyed the products.
"Oh look," she grumbled. "Moldy bread, a half a pound of Limburger cheese and a box of stale crackers. Hmm, a feast fit for a rat."
Severus rolled his eyes and summoned two glasses and a bottle of fire whiskey to the table. He sat down opposite of Katherine, and watched her reach out and take a slice of cheese and a cracker.
"Speaking of rats," she said between bites, "Where is Wormtail anyway?"
"The Dark Lord has summoned him back to headquarters permanently, to keep an eye on the Malfoys," Severus said as he checked over a slice of bread, making sure it was mold free.
"Good, then I won't have to worry about him watching me with his beady little eyes while I change, shower and sleep."
The two continued to eat in silence. Severus' mind began to wander back to a point in time that was déjà vu to this scene. A time when they would sit together at the same kitchen table, just talking and eating. He mused that those were the only good times that his house had ever seen.
But his thoughts were soon disrupted by Katherine's movements. He watched her down the remaining contains of his glass and rise from her chair.
"Well, I think I'm going to shower and then turn it," Katherine exclaimed as she levitated her glass to the sink. "Goodnight Sev." She smiled softly at him, before leaving the room.
"Goodnight."
Severus listened to the echoes of Katherine's footstep, as she climbed the stairs to the second floor. He continued to devour the stale crackers, and drowsed them with sips of fire whiskey here and there. All the while, his ears listened to Katherine's movements upstairs; as she turned on the shower, he heard Katherine's footfalls die off.
To him, it felt good to have a familiar sound echo through the decomposing house. Katherine's lively steps were wondrous sounds, compared to the scurrying of a beady eyed little coward, the heavy thumps of his drunken father and the timid steps of his mother trying to avoid him. To him, Katherine brought a breathe of fresh air to the dwelling. It felt good to have her back.
His thoughts were ceased by the shower turning off. He listened to Katherine finish up in the bathroom and make her way down the hallway to her room, where the footsteps died again.
Katherine's room was directly across from his. Actually her room once belonged to his mother. When Katherine first moved back to Spinner's End in July of 1978, he fixed up the decaying room for her; ridding of his mother's clothes and personal items, save for a few photos, books and jewelry.
Katherine had come back to Spinner's End at his request then as well. She had been residing at the Malfoys since graduation, and had confided in him that she felt like a third wheel in their presence.
And so, Severus invited her into his house. He would never call the place of decay a home, and he never did, until Katherine took up residency in it. She had made it a home. Katherine filled it with conversations, good food and great companionship.
But when she was captured in that horrible attack in October of '81, the home became just a house again. A place he would retreat to during the summer holidays, and occupy himself with his books and brewing. And during all those years, he only came back to be greeted by silence and not the welcoming smile of a blonde haired, blue eyed woman.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Severus rose and made his way to the bathroom to take a shower himself. As he entered the room, he could still smell the essence of cherry blossoms, that was Katherine's shampoo. Steam still hung heavily in the air, offering a warm, relaxing feeling throughout his aching body.
Their month in the wilderness had taken a toll on him both physically and mentally, but it didn't even seem to faze Katherine. She seemed as strong as ever.
Severus discarded his clothes and turned on the shower. While the water warmed up, he stood looking at himself in the mirror. He observed his pale features of his face and torso. He had to admit, that he had some muscle mass to his thin frame, along with a lean form, yet it was speckled with old scars from missions and his father's wrath.
Then there is that awful nose, he thought; it was the nose on the face that had belonged to his horrible father. Katherine had called it a Roman nose once, telling him it was a nose that belonged to noble men, but he had always hated it. It was the one of the focus features of the taunting from Potter and Black back in their school days.
The more he looked at his face, the more he became disgusted with it. Deep lines that had set in over the years, and now the bloody, awful scar on his left cheek from that damn hippogriff. So the scar was going away slowly thanks to the dittany, but it was still there all the same.
He sighed once again, and stepped into the hot water of the shower. He let the water run down his shoulder and back, messaging his aches and pains from weeks on the road. He began to relax under the steady shower stream. Severus washed his hair and body quickly, then exited the shower. Using a warm air spell, he dried himself and began to dress for bed.
As he left the bathroom, he noticed how quiet the house was. Katherine's door, slightly ajar, emitted the only faint light from the glow of the full moon that had come early this month.
Severus crept down the hall quietly, as not to wake Katherine from her sleep. But he stopped short when a soft groan, coming from her room. He hesitated for a moment, debating whether or not to see if it really was her or not, but then he heard it again.
"Katherine?" Severus muttered, as he knocked softly on her bedroom door. There was no answer, so Severus pushed the door open a little. The soft light of the moon, cast across the floor of Katherine's bedroom, creating long shadows from the desk and chair that sat near the window. Severus looked to the bed, only to Katherine's form thrashing about, and quickly hurried to her side.
"Katherine?" Severus said, as he grabbed both of her shoulders with his hands. "Katherine?" He said a little more forcefully, as he shook her shoulders a bit.
Katherine's eyes opened wide; she was panting hard as she looked up to see Severus hovering over her. She closed her eyes again to try and steady her breathing; slowly inhaling and exhaling until her heart stopped racing.
"Katherine?" Severus asked, as she opened her eyes again. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Katherine said, swallowing hard. "Just a nightmare."
"The snake memory again, wasn't it," Severus said, as he sat down next to her on the bed.
"Yes. Yes it was," Katherine said, as she unconsciously reached down and rubbed the scar on her leg. The scar of what once was two dime size holes, was now only a faint reminder of the attack that had happened almost twenty-two years ago to date. But the memory had always stayed fresh on Katherine's mind.
"Did Nagini trigger this?" Severus asked, as he removed her hand away from her leg.
"Yes, a bit," Katherine inhaled deeply. "Do you have an Dreamless Sleep potion around, so I can get back to bed?"
"You have to kick that habit Katherine," Severus retorted. "Otherwise it will just make it worse."
"Then I'll never get any sleep."
"You seemed to sleep fine when we were in the valley."
"That's because I had someone next to me…" Katherine bit her lip and shifted her head on the pillow to look away from him. She was embarrassed by her sudden weakness, but it was true. She may have had the erotic dreams, but the ones about the snake attack or prison never bothered her the entire time that they were in the forest.
"Move over," Severus sighed, as he shifted himself to lay down.
"What?" Katherine raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to get in a better position to sleep in," Severus snapped lightly. "Now. Move over." Katherine shifted over to the right side of the bed, as Severus swung his legs up and covered himself with a thin sheet.
"Sev?" Katherine said as she turned on her side to face him. Severus was laying on his back, staring up at the ceiling. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Severus said, as he closed his eyes. "Now, go to sleep."
"Dammit," Severus groaned as he felt something hot and wet press against his neck. "Bloody dreams." But it was like a dream he had never had before. He could feel the heat of a pair of lips work their way from the base of his neck to his jaw. They nipped and kissed their way back across his jaw to his ear, nipping at the flesh beneath it.
Severus could feel himself grow rigid from the contact, as the lips continued their attack on his skin. Slowly, he could feel the lips move their way forward again, across the side of his jaw to his chin, before lightly caressing his own lips.
He could taste and smell mint.
No.
Spearmint.
Spearmint? Severus felt the lips leave his, as they descended on his throat again. His eyes snapped open, as reality hit him. It wasn't a dream this time. This time it was real.
Katherine's hand ran down from its' spot on his chest, across his stomach and lightly brushed his erection. Severus inhaled sharply from the contact and threw his head back into his pillow. She worked her way back up his throat and claimed his lips again, this time with much more passion.
Her hand fondled him through his nightwear, causing him to moan into her mouth. One of his hands moved cup the back of her head, as he entangled his fingers in the blonde locks; the other spread firmly across her buttocks, pulling her closer to him.
Severus couldn't take the teasing anymore and flipped Katherine onto her back. Then he began his revenge; slowly nipping and licking his way up and down her neck. His hands moved to cup her breast through her silk nightgown, as he pressed himself against her.
Katherine squirmed beneath him, as she tried to pull his nightshirt off of him. Severus followed suit, as he lifted her slightly in order to slide the nightgown up and over her head. Her pale skin illuminated in the moon light, and he watched her breast rise and fall rapidly.
He leaned down and captured one of her erect nipples in his mouth. He sucked and nipped at the rose-dusted bud, then worked his tongue around it in circles, which caused Katherine to moan and squirm once again. Severus raised his head just enough to move and descend upon her other breast.
Her hands worked their way down his back to the top of his pants, and in one swift movement, lowered their and removed them from his person. Katherine teased his penis again, with the tips of her fingers, before taking it in her hand and pulling on it gently. It pulsated within her hand, and she pulled at it again, with a little more force. Severus let out a low groan into her breast, as he continued to tease the erected bud with his mouth.
He began to work his mouth back up her neck, nipping and sucking here and there along the way. As Severus reached her lips again, he attacked them, as a hand slid down to rub against her slit. Katherine moaned in response, as Severus worked the nub with his thumb and then slowly slid a finger into her.
Katherine pulled at his penis again, as Severus worked another finger into her. He could feel her muscles as they flexed around his fingers. She was so wet, so very wet. He could feel heat radiating off of her. After pumping his fingers in and out, he removed them and moved his hand to cup her breast again.
She tugged at his erection harder this time, and teased both of them as she ran its' tip up and down her wet opening. Severus bit her lower lip and ran his tongue along it, begging for entrance.
Her lips parted and their tongues danced together. Severus ran his hands down her body, as grasped her hips. He was finished with the teasing, and needed his release. Gently he raised her hips and pressed the tip of his member against her opening.
Severus pulled his mouth away from hers in order to look into her eyes; looking for the sign to stop, but the ice blue eyes only showed lust and need. That was all he needed.
Slowly he guided himself inside her, and Katherine's legs wound their way around his hips, allowing him to penetrate deeper and harder. She trembled below him, as she will her tight muscles to relax.
Severus lowered his lips to hers again, as he began to pull a little way out then thrust back into her again, slowly. Katherine's hands gripped his shoulders, as Severus fell into a steady rhythm. But Katherine's moaning and panting got to him, and he began to grind harder and faster into her.
Her hands clawed at his back, slipping on the skin beneath her fingertips as their bodies grew hotter and wetter with every thrust. Suddenly she cried out, feeling her walls clamp down upon his member, milking him for all he was worth.
Severus soon followed, groaning deeply as he pressed his hips hard against hers, and spilled his seed inside of her. He collapsed on top of her, holding himself up by his elbows. Their chests brushed up against each other, as they tried to regain control of their breathing. Their bodies were drenched with sweat, and slowly Severus pulled out of her, before rolling off of Katherine's person.
He laid there, listening to Katherine's breathing, as it became slower and deeper until he knew that she had fallen asleep. Gently, he pulled Katherine's body next his and wound an arm around her. Severus pulled the bed sheet over both of them, before nuzzling his nose into her hair.
"Cherry blossoms," he thought as he inhaled. Slowly, he could feel himself slipping away, and clutched the witch closer to his naked body, before surrendering to sleep himself.
