HP: I Have "Pure" Magic - Chapter 146: Finally!
Dora was just planning to start doing some magic practice in her room after taking a bath. It was, by no means, the time to sleep. Who sleeps at 9 p.m.? But Chris insisted that everyone turn in early for the day for some reason.
But, as soon as she began her basic spell practice, the door was knocked on by someone. And it turned out to be Chris.
“Why are you here?” She asked, but Chris just straight up hugged her.
“Why else?” She heard him whisper in her ear, making her shiver, “I came to properly catch up.”
Dora’s breathing got a bit uneven as she tried to rid her mind of the naughty thoughts.
‘Just what are you thinking, girl?! He’s still young!’ Reprimanded the Angel Dora. She should just take his words literally. ‘Yeah… it’s good that he came to catch. Now I can show him the egg.’
‘But… from which angle does he look young?’ Whispered the devil Dora suddenly. And her thoughts strayed again. Indeed, just looking at him, no one can guess his age. His height is about 5’7, which matches hers, and his body…
Dora gulped. Chris’s body seems perfection itself, low age can’t lower its appeal.
Usually, Dora is free of such thoughts and she’s always been focused on her goals. She doesn’t like to be in close proximity with any male other than her father due to her past experiences, but Chris has somehow broken past those barriers.
In the beginning, she thought of him as a cute kid and thus never felt any revulsion from his close proximity. But, as she spent more and more time with him, she realized that he was sometimes even more mature than her. She began to treat him as an equal, and before she knew it, she’d already fallen in love with him.
And now, meeting him after so long and seeing his matured appearance, she can’t help but be attracted to him physically as well along with the emotional attraction. But, there’s still that instinctual fear and aversion that she’s developed over the years, which is stopping her from taking the last step. She still needs time.
Thus, when Chris pulled back from the tight hug, she was both disappointed and relieved.
‘This is enough for now,’ Chris thought as he stopped the heavenly hug. He was also aware of how much he can push at one time.
To a virgin watching hentai or a rapist, it might seem quite easy and reasonable to just push her further and expect her to accept it, but firstly, Dora is not that kind of girl and secondly, he does not enjoy it when it’s forced. From his past experiences, he knows that not all girls are so weak that they’ll just meekly accept whatever you want to do with them, and especially not Dora. Many girls are strong-minded and for them, no means no. If you push further, you risk losing your relationship forever and being categorized into the YAHAMa category (Yet Another Horny Animal Male).
That’s especially the case with Dora. She isn’t ready yet. It’s not like Chris hasn’t tried in the past. She has this instinctive rejection whenever things start to proceed further. So, he’s going to wait patiently since it’s no fun unless she’s hundred percent willing on her own. His ego wouldn’t let him use magic. He tried it, and it didn’t feel right… at all.
Keeping his arms still around her, he said, “Actually, besides catching up, there’s something else I came here for. Have you already forgotten about the surprise I mentioned earlier?”
“It was real? What is it?” She asked curiously.
Chris grinned wickedly, “Oh you’re going to love it. It’ll be so good that once you try it, you wouldn’t want to stop. It’ll take all night and you’ll be begging me for more after tonight” He said, his voice becoming huskier with every sentence.
Hearing his ambiguous words, Dora couldn’t help but be flustered,
“N-No, what the hell—”
But Chris cut her off,
“I know it will be your first time, but don’t worry. You might feel scared at the beginning, but once you realize it’s magic, you’ll be thanking me with your sincere heart. So, don’t feel scared Dora, I’ll be there to guide you all the way,” he whispered as he looked into her eyes.
“Get ready, I’m going to pull it out now,” he said as he back up a little and put hands near his pants.
Dora was thrown completely off balance right now, “Wa—” she began, Chris already put his hands in his pants and pulled out—
The Vanishing Cabinet.
?!….?!
“That’s a Vanishing Cabinet. Have you heard of it before?”
Dora looked at the Vanishing Cabinet with question marks and exclamation marks on her head. She shook her head in denial.
‘Did I just… misunderstand something?’ She thought in utter bewilderment.
She had indeed never heard of the Vanishing Cabinet before. How is this thing supposed to give her a surprise that’ll make her beg for more?
“Oh, you haven’t? Well, that’ll make it all the more satisfying to see your reaction when you realize its function,” he grinned as opened the door for Dora.
“Come on in,” he said as he climbed in as well.
Dora hesitated.
“Do you not trust me?” He asked in disappointment.
Trust? She trusts him 100%. Even though Chris pretends to behave wildly, she knows he’s a person she trusts. Every time she’s denied him when she feels uncomfortable about something, he hasn’t forced her even once. He has never done anything with her that she didn’t want herself.
Thus, sighed and squeezed into the Vanishing Cabinet along with Chris. She was rewarded with a genuine smile from Chris as he put an arm around her.
“What now?” She asked.
“Now, hold on tight, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”
??
But before Dora could voice her misunderstanding again, she realized exactly what he meant when the floor beneath their feet Vanished and both of them plunged into the space.
He tried screaming, but no voice came out. So she only held onto Chris for this ‘bumpy’ ride.
It was over in no time. And when they landed, Chris was carrying her in a princess carry.
“Keep your eyes close until I tell you to open them,” said Chris.
Dora’s eyes were closed and she had her hands around his neck and head buried in his shoulder.
“Alright,” her voice came back muffled due to her face being buried in his t-shirt.
The place where they appeared was, of course, the secret basement of Chris’s villa. He just asked Dora to close her eyes since he still has some reluctance to show her all the work he’s done in these years since he reincarnated. It’s not out of the desire to hide something, but more like the unwillingness to stand buck naked in front of someone.
Still, he wouldn’t mind even if she suddenly tried to take a peek at this basement just now. He’d be a little embarrassed is all.
“How long will it take?” She asked, though she certainly didn’t seem to be in any hurry to escape his arms from the way she was relaxed like a kitten.
“Just count till 30 seconds and we’ll be there,” Chris muttered as he started to climb the stairs.
He took her to the terrace of his Villa. And Dora was also done counting till then.
“Four, three, two, one! I’m opening my eyes now,” she said as she hugged him tightly one last time before pulling her face out from his embrace.
“So, where are we? And where’s the surprise you were talking about?” She asked while looking around puzzled.
Chris just smiled as he pointed his finger in a certain direction, “Look there.”
Dora followed his finger’s direction to see a tower of sorts which looked quite familiar to her, “Oh, that’s Big Ben,” she muttered casually, but then it hit her, “If that’s Big Ben, then doesn’t that mean…” Doesn’t that mean she’s in London?!
“Yeah…” Chris nodded, satisfied with her reaction. He checked his watch, “That’s the reason I had us turn in early. Currently, it’s 9 in the evening in France, so… it’s only 8 o’clock evening here in Britain. You can visit your parent like— right now.”
“!!!”
For such a long period of time, she has been trying to come back here, but to no avail. International travel permits can’t be obtained so easily. Moody was getting it because Dumbledore was arranging for it through his connections.
That’s the reason why she couldn’t even visit her parents at Christmas. That was the first Christmas she spent away from home. Thus, she’s been dying to visit home for a while now. And she didn’t expect that her wish would be fulfilled so suddenly by Chris.
*ba-dump* *ba-dump* *ba-dump*
Her heart started beating faster as her breathing also became rapid as looked at Chris with bewilderment,
“Just… how—? She couldn’t speak properly as her emotions were all over the place now. She didn’t know how he’d done it, and more importantly, she didn’t know how to express the gratitude and other emotions she was feeling right.
Chris smiled, “How I did it is not important right now. Anything can be achieved as long as I have magic,” he smiled,
“What’s more important is for you to visit your parents now. You have to come back tomorrow morning since Moody is arriving. As for my reward… I will properly collect it when we’re free. A hasty ‘thankyou’ won’t do,” he said with a mischievous smile, his hair fluttered due to the wind.
Dora’s breathing was quite uneven now, and her heart was hammering against her chest,
There he goes again, doing things for her that reached straight to her heart.
‘What did I ever do to deserve this? Why is he doing all this for her?’
‘At this rate, I might really be able to overcome all the reservations and traumas in my heart and actually experience love with him,’ she thought as looked at him, her eyes were burning with passion.
She brought forward her arm, which was trembling slightly, so that they could side-along apparate to her home, “Let’s go.”
But this time, Chris actually shook his head, “No. I’m not going this time.”
“Why?”
Chris held her hand as he answered, “Because, tonight is your night. You’ll be meeting your parents after about two year, and I want them to focus all of their attention on you. Go spend your time with them. I’ll come back tomorrow to pick you up,” he said sincerely. He didn’t want to intrude upon the important reunion.
*BA-DUMP* *BA-DUMP*
Hearing his words, Dora felt a dam had finally burst open in her heart, and she could no longer control her actions. At this moment, her love for Chris reached overshadowed all her reservations, traumas, and fears as she lunged for him without thinking of what she was doing.
Before Chris knew it, Dora’s arms were already wrapped around his neck as she pulled him into a kiss. But before he could respond, she’d already pulled away, her eyes were closed shut, her face was completely red and her hair was shifting into 50 shades of red.
“See you tomorrow…,” was all she could manage in a panicked voice before she Disapparated away with a soft snap, leaving Chris with his hands outstretched and his lips searing.
Chris stood there for a while, trying to control his magic which had involuntarily burst out from him, and disappeared as well as soon as it had come. He then licked his lips as he grinned.
“It’s good that her eyes were closed,” he murmured. Otherwise, she would have seen this magic. It’s a new kind of magic, and Chris has no idea what it does.
Though, there was another thing which he discovered.
“This might not be her first kiss,” he deduced. She certainly knew what she was doing, though it was so I practiced and sloppy that it might as well be one. She certainly didn’t kiss anyone more than twice, or more than two seconds, otherwise, she’d have learned more.
What a great use he’s putting his advanced mind and occlumency to — To find out out his girlfriend’s kissing history.
“Well, if the lucky bastard is still alive, he might actually become my first kill,” he muttered, feeling surprised that he meant it. He didn’t use to mind these things before.
‘Dragons really are quite territorial, huh?’
***
Dora stumbled and fell to her knees as she appeared in front of her home. Her heart was still beating very fast, and she could feel a brilliant energy running throughout her body. Her lips felt as if they were on fire, though in a good way, and her whole body had tingles.
“Just… what have I done?” She muttered to herself. Even though it wasn’t her first kiss, it certainly felt like how the first kiss is described in fairy tales. Not the bland one which she had years ago.
But she wasn’t given the chance to think further as she heard the front open. The Apparation snap was quite loud since she couldn’t concentrate properly. Thus, her parents were alerted of the arrival of someone.
The door opened and she silhouette of a man “Who is it?” Hearing their father’s voice after so long, Dora decided to forcefully shelve all her complicated thoughts for later as she stood up to unite with her parents.
Then she heard another voice from behind the man, “Here, at least take your wand with you. How careless,” it was her mother’s exasperated voice as she came to peak over Ted’s shoulder to see who is it.
“It’s me, dad, mom,” she called out in a choked-up voice, and the tears that came out of her eyes were impossible to stop.
