„Albus! What was the commotion about outside?“ Arthur Weasley sounded worried. Is wife looked just as worried.
„Arthur, be calm. We just meet Rupert’s Slayer and her little witch friend. But I have to say you were right Rupert. These two are hopeless. What they think of themself is very impressive but what they are is another history. Severus, please set Tara down in the seat. William, lay Riley down on the couch.“
Severus took place in the seat without letting Tara go. So now she sat across his lap.
„I will start feeding her a bit of my magic. Luc, please give me one healing potion and give the other to Rupert.“
Lucius handed him a phiol.
„Tara, can you hear me? I will give you a healing potion, so please open your mouth a bit.“ Svereus stroked gently over her lips till she parted them for him.
„That’s good, Tara. Now I will feed you a bit of my magic. Soon you will feel better.“ With that he took her hands in his and established the connection between them again. Severus felt himself reacting to her proximity on his lap and hoped that she didn’t feel his arousal over their bond.
But Tara could feel it. After Severus had given her the potion she felt better but didn’t want to leave his arms or his lap. Never before had she felt so save and protected like in his embrace. Then she felt his body reacting to hers and the pulsing of his magic set her veins on fire. Never had she felt such desire for another, nor directed at her!
Slowly she loosened her hold on her magic and entwined it with his. With doing this unbeknown to both they bound themselves together.
Severus couldn’t believe it as he felt her reacting to him. Her soul reached out to him and he could do nothing but accept. Inside his mind pure white exploded and his left arm began to burn. Then he could feel her presence in his head, singing a siren call and he could also feel a desire to be his and have him!
„Severus, this is enough!“ he opened his eyes and saw Albus looking at him with twinkling eyes. Just then did he register that Tara had her eyes open and glazed over while his hands lay on her hips. Almost had he started to undress her with others in the room!
„Severus. You know that the two of you had a Soulbinding just now, right?“ Albus was facinated. Seeing Severus showing such strong feelings was rare and then to give it to a young woman he barely knew?
„What! Albus, no what have I done?! Oh god, Tara I am sor...“ but Tara wouldn’t hear it. She felt terror over their bond as he told himself that he had somehow coerced her to do this.
„Shh. Severus. I wanted it. As I want it know. I can feel you in my mind and I know that you can feel me too. So concentrate on my feelings.“ Tara’s voice was calm if a bit husky. She was still aroused because Severus hadn’t moved his hand from her hips. She felt as if she knew him all her life and had just waited for him.
Severus concentrated and felt her emotions, saw her thoughts and her wish for them to get to know eachother better before they consumed their bond fully. But as he couldn’t resist anymore he leaned foreward and kissed her so gently like he never before had kissed anyone.
„I love you, Tara.“ He whispered.
„And I love you, Sev.“ She whspered back.
With that they seperated while the connection between them remained.
„Congratulation, Severus, Tara! I never thought that you would admit it so early!“ Albus and Giles were smiling while Lucius smirked at his best friend.
„Really forward from you, Severus! Congratulations!“ Remus and Sirius couldn’t help laughing as Severus Snape feared Potions Master of Hogwart blushed and hid his face in his hands.
„But be warned, that if you ever hurt her, we will hunt you down and make sure you will never be able to hurt her.“ came Oz calm voice from the left. Xander just looked at him and nodded while Spike came over to circle him.
„Glinda, are you sure you want him? Seems a bit old and rusty“ his eyes seemed hard to those who didn’t know him but Tara saw in his eyes that he was just concerned.
„What about you, Wil? Are you sure that Angel is the right one for you? He is even older that Sev. And Spike,“ she leaned towards him so none could hear her „I really want him. Right now, but that would be impolite“ even while she said this she blushed. Spike couldn’t help himself he laughed out loud even as Angel, Remus and Oz started to laugh. Just then did she remember that these three had advanced hearing and she hid her face in Severus chest. He heard her too and leaned down.
„Soon, love. I will show you what we can do together!“ which caused her to blush even more and the others to laugh harder. He knew that she was a virgin to this.
„And the dark mark has vanished!“ Lucius exclaimed as he saw Severus arm.
„What!?!“ as Severus looked at his arm a shadow remained of the dark amrk but otherwise it really had vanished due to Tara’s light!
