Futuristic Memories

[Scarlett Vittori]

Set on December, 2041 (Christmas Break of Y26) in France.
Jakobe Hitachiin and Scarlet Joussane are both in their Seventh Year in Hogwarts New Zealand and are both 17 years of age.

---

Scarlet Joussane could barely believe how happy she was with her life right now. Five years ago, if anybody had told her that she'd be perfectly happy and there was a brighter future ahead of her, she would have laughed at them a bit bitterly and shun them. After all, at the time, who would believe such a thing when her life had been such a mess. But now, it could be said that she was happy with how the way things had gone. After Justin had gotten a job in Hogwarts New Zealand, they got through easier than when he was working as a waiter. Even Crische had gotten a pretty decent job as a professional boxing trainer. Others may look down on him for having such a job, but Scarlet was much too proud of her brothers. Because of their hard work, the three of them have move to a better house that was in a wizarding community nearby. The house was big but just like any wizarding home, it was a lot bigger inside and it surprised her a lot that her brothers were able to save this much. Also, it surprised her that there was such a place but nevertheless, she was glad about it. It meant that she was already far away from her previous muggle school as well as her old classmates that used to bully her a lot. She might have grown up but that was a memory she would never soon forget. She was utterly happy, yes, but there were times when she would have a memory of Brody and she would miss him terribly. Scarlet visited his grave every weekend when she was in France and she would tell him all the stuff that happened to her. Sometimes, she would think that Brody was the only one missing to make her life perfect. But one person never gave up in making sure that she was fine and that she would live a happy life. Jakobe Hitachiin.

Scarlet would never have thought that she would get herself a boyfriend after all that happened to her, but then again, Jake never failed to surprise her in anything. It seemed as if he was always up to something and then she would just get dragged along with him. He never made her feel left out, in fact, he made her feel special and love. And though she had a few doubts when he had asked her out, she had agreed. She didn't know how to deal with him really because he was so insatiable when it came to kisses. She didn't even know what to do when he had first kissed her out of the blue! And then every time, he had made it a point to kiss her at least once whenever they were together. Behind closed doors, inside classrooms, walking in the corridors, hanging around in the Great Hall! Scarlet never knew when Jakobe would kiss her and though she expected it half the time, she was still always, always, always taken by surprise. Nevertheless, he was the sweetest boyfriend ever, not to mention that he had grown attractive and taller, and Scarlet thought that she was luckiest to have him, even if she was only a simple girl with nothing special about her. She wasn't even tall nor smart nor athletic nor the prettiest really.

Today was a particularly chilly day. It was only a little less than a week before Christmas and though the said holiday usually brought excitement since they were on break from Hogwarts New Zealand, Scarlet was excited for something else. Jakobe was going to come over today and she was so happy about it. Because even though she and Cris had been on good terms already, only having him in the house was quite lonely really since Justin was off in Japan spending a week with his girlfriend. Well, it had surprised her really that Cris didn't go to his girlfriend's house but perhaps it was because he was there to keep an eye on her, she never knew. Nevertheless, Scarlet fidgeted on her seat as he waited for any indication that her boyfriend had arrived. In fact, she kept on glancing at the clock that it was driving Crische mad that he nearly yelled at her in annoyance saying, "Keep on doing that and he'll never get here! Calm down, d@mn it!" The Hufflepuff flinched visibly. Minutes passed and finally a knock was heard on the door and Scarlet rushed to the door and flung it open, smiling brightly at her boyfriend. "Hey," she said a bit nervously as she fumbled with her dress.

 

[Jakobe Vittori]

Jakobe leaned back on his bed and tapped his quill against his lip. He had to get the last of this homework done before he could leave or his mother was likely to hit him. As of yet they didn't know about Scarlet and he wanted to keep it that way, so appeasing them by doing everything they asked was the only way to go. Many things had happened that had caused him to become rather wary of his family, but he was willing to overlook it, at least for now. Until he graduated he wasn't willing to risk crossing them, because he had too many things that he needed to protect first. Sighing at the state of his handwriting that had steadily been getting worse as the day went on, Jakobe had to resign to the fact that laying on his bed was not conducive to actually getting any work done. It was very comfortable for him, but he supposed that comfort and homework didn't actually go together. Luckily it wasn't History homework, he'd done that days ago, but now he had to do his homework for Potions and though he didn't mind the subject he didn't like the professor nor the classroom nor the subject matter, he could learn far more advanced Potions from his sister if he wanted, but he had wanted to go to that school and whilst he regretted it on some occasions, he didn't regret it just as often because of his relationship with one person. Two people, but one person in particular that he would never have met under any other circumstances. Scarlet Naomi Joussane. She had been a challenge but he had eventually succeeded. They had been dating for two years now and he couldn't be prouder of her. For a while it had been touch and go, but he had never given up and he had been rewarded dearly.

Finally scribbling down any answer he could come up with and resolving to do it later, Jakobe threw the paper onto his desk and then sat up, running his fingers through his hair. There was something he had been meaning to do for quite a while now, but no one here would help him, so he was determined to rope Scarlet into helping him instead. Nodding to himself, jakobe waved his wand gathering everything into his bag before leaping down the stairs and out into the garden so that he could portkey to his girlfriends house. His parents tolerated his leaving only because they were preoccupied with other things and he wasn't even sure they realised he was gone half of the time, which was only better for him. Quickly summoning his portkey, which he had hidden in the form of a picture of his sister on them mantle, which no one had touched, Jakobe soon found himself staring at the familiar surroundings of Scarlet's house. He smiled and bounded towards her front door. He was slightly late, but he was sure she wouldn't mind too much, at least he hoped she wouldn't. Really, he wouldn't have minded stopping to look at his surroundings, but he was kind of a one track mind kind of guy and he tried not to derail himself on most occasions. Jake quickly knocked on the door and was ultimately glad when he was greeted by Scarlet. She looked absolutely amazing, as if they would be going out together somewhere, which they actually weren't, at least not straight away. He was mostly coming over to hang out, though he also now had a specific reason for coming here and had provided them with something to do. Grabbing Scarlet's hands in his own and entwining them, Jake asked her to close her eyes before holding out a box to her. He then asked her to open them. "Let's dye my hair."</SIZE></COLOR></FONT>

Jakobe stared at his reflection in the mirror. He had chosen to do this the muggle way, which was one of the reasons he came to Scar, because it had seemed like it would be a lot of fun. His parents were probably going to flip out, but he didn't care, he liked it, he had never done anything like this before and it kind of made him feel empowered. Slowly Jake looked at Scarlet in the mirror and smirked at her before whipping around to pull her close to him. Unfortunately for Scar, Jake had an obsession with touching her. He was always hugging her, kissing her, holding her hand, holding her around the waist, the shoulders, sitting her on his lap, he wasn't really sure what it was, though he had long suspected he was possessive and that he was terrified she might leave. He knew she wouldn't, at least he hoped she wouldn't, but it was a very really problem that he had to deal with. Intending to plant a soft kiss on her lips, Jakobe leaned down and thought she tried to push him away, though it was very obviously only half-hearted, Jake succeeded in his mission before letting go of her. He grinned and sat on her bathtub. "Well, what do you think, does the blonde suit me, or no?" Jake would always want Scarlet's opinion on anything he did, he needed her just as much now as she had needed him five years ago. He had stuck by her through everything and she was currently doing the same, though she didn't actually know what it was he was afraid of. Eventually Jake winked at her before heading out of the bathroom and draping himself across her bed, which he had noticed was quite girly, but he cared very little about that. It was Scarlet's and that was all he ever cared about. "This bed is too big for one person, Scar. What do you do in here?" He asked, being slightly cheeky, because he really wanted to see her go beet red.

[Scarlett Vittori]

Scarlet couldn't have been anymore glad that when he arrived. He was absolutely breathtaking. Alright, granted that he had been a little late but maybe she had been a little too excited that he was going to her house that day. But then again, why was she so excited anyway? It's not like him going over to her house was a new thing at all. By Merlin, he had been coming to her house every chance he got! It was like he never ever wanted to part from her really and Scarlet wasn't one to complain really. Having Jake as her boyfriend was the best thing that happened to her in her crazy messed up, upside-down world. Well, she did mostly complain about the kisses that occur maybe about more or less five times everyday, but that may or may not be a minor detail now that they were already two years into their relationship. Thank goodness though that there were times that he didn't kiss her in front of Justin or Crische or they'll both be getting a good scolding that's for sure. Well, on second thought, Jake might actually get a little more than scolding, courtesy of Cris of course. Nevertheless, she never had to worry about that even when she greeted him happily by the door and once again she was dragged away to her room to help him with his hair. She couldn't help but chuckle at this. It had been a habit of theirs. Jake dragging her almost every time to everywhere. But its actually a habit that she didn't want to lose.

Well, dyeing Jakobe's hair was quite a lot easier than she had expected. After all, she was used to living in a muggle community and she did a lot of muggle stuff before, and so fixing his hair up for him was quite an easy feat for the small redhead. As soon as they were done, Scarlet began to admire her handiwork through his reflection in the mirror. Yep, it did suit him and she had to admit that he looked absolutely handsome with his hair and his clothes, that she had to pry her eyes away from him just to fix the mess in the bathroom. Well, at least that was what she planned on doing until he had suddenly pulled her down to sit on his lap and kissed her. She had half the mind to stop him really considering that Crische room was just next door and if he wasn't downstairs then he'd probably be there napping. But then, half her mind, if she even had a mind left as Jakobe kissed her just told her to kiss him back, and apparently that part of her won as she ceased in trying to push him away. As soon as they both pulled away, Scarlet's face was already turning red. Really, this guy knew no bounds in taking her by surprise. She smiled at him though when he asked her if his new hair color suited him. "It suits you perfectly," the redhead chuckled as she finished cleaning up and washed her hands before following him to her room and shutting the bathroom door behind her. At least she had calmed down from the kiss they shared earlier. She had found Jakobe sprawled out in her bed and she couldn't help but giggle. He was a lot bigger than her and yet the bed was much too big for him. And even more so for her and her petite frame. "I read my books," she told him as she sat on the side of the bed. "Well, I also draw and sleep. Nothing more, I guess," she said with a slight smile and answered him quite cheekily as well, though one could easily tell that she was not used to the thought of being cheeky that there was still lingering shyness in her words.

 

[Jakobe Vittori]

Jakobe grinned at Scarlet as he turned to see her walk out of the bathroom. She cheekily responded to him as she sat on the edge of the bed. It wasn't exactly the reaction he wanted, but at least it was something. Turning onto his front, Jake crawled across the bed and sat his head on his girlfriends lap. He liked being like this because he always got a lot more affection with Scar then he ever got at home. Of course it was a very different kind of affection and he knew that, but affection was still nice. With a gleam in his eye, Jake ran his hand along the material of her bed and looked up at her. "I can think of one other activity we could use it for." He said, indeed knowing full well what he had just suggested. Jakobe and Scarlet had been dating for almost two years now. He loved Scarlet more then he ever thought he would and there were just so many things he had to be careful of where she was concerned. He would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to her and it was his fault. Never.

Standing up, Jakobe moved away from the bed and sat on Scarlet's desk, leaning back against it with his arms crossed over his chest. "Scarlet," it had been a long time since he had used her name that way. "I want to talk to you seriously right now, okay?" he asked. However he was too focused to wait for a reply and so he was going to speak anyway. "We've been dating for nearly two years now, we're both seventeen and I love you." He said. He had never been shy of telling her how he felt and had attempted to show her on more then one occasion, but had respected her far too much to go any further then she wanted. He just felt that he was going to need something a little more. He was fighting so many battles right now and he didn't know how it was going to go. He didn't want to lose her. Standing again, Jake moved back over to Scarlet and knelt in front of her, reaching around for her hands and holding them in her lap. "I think its time we have sex." He didn't realise that he was being a little blunt.
​

 

[Scarlett Vittori]

Scarlet watched as her boyfriend crawled on her bed only to lay his head on her lap, and a slight tint spread across her cheeks. It seemed that blushing was already a permanent thing for her now, especially when she was with Jake. Of course, it couldn't be helped, especially when her boyfriend was being so affectionate with her every single time. He never got tired of it, and frankly so did she. As his head lay on her lap, she ran her fingers through his now white hair while she used her free wand to support herself on the bed. She looked down at him as he spoke and she couldn't help but wonder of the activity he was speaking of. Well, perhaps they could play games. Scarlet was pretty sure her brothers had some board games lying around somewhere that she was sure they could use for entertainment. Too bad she didn't know how to play wizards' chess. Or muggle chess for that matter. Maybe they could play checkers instead? Or she could teach him snakes and ladders? Yeah. That would be good. As the redhead continued to think of what activity they could do on her bed, her fingers continued to absent-mindedly stroke Jakobe's hair.

Only when Jakobe stood up did she snap out of her trance. Well, she could always go back to her train of thoughts later on. For now though, she had to focus on her boyfriend that was now speaking to her seriously. She had to wonder though why he was being so serious, he was rarely like this after all. She nodded her head in affirmation when he had told her that he wanted to talk to her. Of course she'd hear him out, he may be having a problem after all. Board games can wait though, she might want to ask Cris to join them later. It might be good bonding between the boys after all. Realizing that she was trailing away and getting distracted, she shook her head lightly and mentally slapped herself so she could once again listen to her boyfriend. She didn't hear much of what he said though. Only the part where he told her that he loved her. Scarlet blushed visibly at this and smiled meekly. She had told him she loved him too a few times as she was still much too shy to say it out loud and frequent like he does after all. She watched him carefully as he knelt down in front of her and held her hands. She took in his appearance as he did so. The eyes that she would so frequently get lost into, those cheeks of his that was rarely tinted red unlike her, his slightly disheveled white hair and most of all, those luscious lips of his that never got tired of kissing her. Snapping herself out of her thoughts, she was just in time to hear his declaration and she looked at him wide-eyed and her face redder than ever.

Sex. Sexual intercourse. Babies. With Jake. Those were the only words she could comprehend as she stuttered out, "W-what?!" while her face was almost if not as red as a tomato. A very ripe tomato. She didn't really know how sex actually works, though she did know that it was for married couples that wanted to have a baby. And that it was extremely embarrassing. She did not know why, but when other girls talked about it, they were blushing beet red like she was now. She never stayed nor eavesdropped long enough though to actually know how the whole process works. Though one thing's for sure. She love Jakobe very much, though she was not having sex with him, however that was, with her brother in the house. If it was something embarrassing, she'd rather wait a few more years to actually get used to embarrassing stuff and she'd rather not get caught by her brothers doing embarrassing things either. "W-what are you talking a-about?! C-Cris is i-in the other room," she told him, her face still not cooling down from the hotness of the blood still surging in her cheeks because of the person she loved most.

 

[Jakobe Vittori]

The blood flushed red in her cheeks, her deep chocolate eyes were wide in surprise. In this moment, Jakobe couldn't have found her any sexier. He had not expected a reaction quite like this, though it seemed as though he had eventually succeeded in his mission to get the girl to blush. She was shocked and stammering all over the place. Jake had to stifle a chuckle as he watched her try to figure out what he had actually said. It had come out so casually, he had almost been sure she would have missed it. Fortunately she had caught what he had said and her response was one of confusion and uncertainty, though she hadn't actually out-rightly rejected him, which was of course a good thing. It meant he wouldn't have to talk her around. He chuckled slightly and stood up, keeping a hold of her hands as he moved around to sit next to her on the bed, kissing her hands as he sat down. She was his most precious thing and he would never want to hurt her or upset her in anyway. He wanted to do anything and everything he could to always make her feel safe, of course being associated with him was probably part of the problem.

Leaning forward to cup Scarlet's cheek, Jake tilted his head slightly and smiled. "Scar, Honey, we are both in our final year at Hogwarts, i'm pretty sure between the two of us, we can work a silencing spell." It was true that her brother was in the next room, but he was silly enough to leave a hormonal teenager alone in his little sister's bedroom, what did he think was going to happen. He knew Jake was affectionate, he'd caught the pair of them making out in a cupboard more then once in a cupboard back at Hogwarts, did he not expect Jake to do something like this? "I could always just keep you quiet." He suggested, winking at her slightly as he pulled away from her and sat cross-legged in the middle of her bed. It was extremely comfortable for some reason, did she have a double mattress or something? It was so soft. "If your only excuse is your brother, then what's the problem? He is easily worked around." He held his hand out to her, he wanted her to sit with him instead of keeping herself all the way on the side of the bed.
​

 

[Scarlett Vittori]

Scarlet's mind was still swirling at Jakobe's statement. How could he tell her that it was time for them to have sex so casually? He should have known that this was embarrassing! And aside from the fact that it was embarrassing, she did not know the first thing on how to actually do it! She would look like an absolute fool in front of him. And aside from that, she didn't want a baby yet! She wouldn't know how to care of it and she was too young and she was still underaged and her brothers would be so disappointed should she get pregnant as such an early age. She was willing to have a baby with Jakobe, no question about that, she loved him too much. But the fact that she would have a baby with him when they were seventeen?! That was not good. And then there was also the fact that Cris was in the house, in the room beside hers to be more precise. Sure it was true that Justin had caught her and Jake many times in the cupboard a lot of times and he had told Cris about it and she had gotten a pretty good scolding about it too. But having sex with Jake in her room, in her house was a whole different matter!

Scarlet bit her lip softly as Jakobe cupped her blushing cheeks and she looked into his eyes. She had thought that what he would say was comforting, but that just made her nervous even more! I possible, her cheeks would have gone redder, but alas, it was already probably at its maximum blush. Was she really not getting out of this? Merlin, she really didn't want to get pregnant at this age. Though she must admit that he looked absolutely sexy when he winked at her and suggested something that she vaguely guessed was far from innocent and because of this she couldn't help but lick her lips lightly. Was her only excuse her brother? Of course it wasn't. She had an awful lot of excuses. Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, but she did have a couple more. She looked at his hand for a moment before holding it and letting herself get closer to him, though this time it was her turn to lay down and place her head on his leg, though she was quite careful with the dress she was wearing as it had barely reached her knees when she was standing and now that she was laying down, it had hiked up an inch or two. "B-but I don't want to get pregnant Jake. I'm not ready to have a baby," she said as she looked up at him quite lovingly while pouting a little.

 

[Jakobe Vittori]

Jake smiled as Scarlet rested her head in his lap and leisurely ran his fingers through her hair. Hers was so much thicker then his was, by a long shot. He remembered that he had focused on her hair when he had asked her out that first time. She had put it up and it fell down her back like a cascade of waves. He remembered these details quite vividly because he'd had to ask her about three times before he'd been able to convince her to go out with him, now, here they were just over two years later. The first time he had actually kissed her was because he had been angry at her. He'd never been angry at her before and when he was angry he tended to lash out physically and so he had just straight up planted one on her. He had walked away after that, angry at himself that he had done such a thing. They had avoided each other for a couple of days after that and it had fallen to Giuliano to get them back together, which had involved quite a bit of subterfuge and the possible breaking of friendships. In the end, he had been able to ask her out again, after apologising for kissing her and then admitting that he was probably going to kiss her a lot more if she said yes. Which she did, thankfully.

He turned his attention back to his girlfriend when she spoke again. rubbing her shoulders with his hands. She was worrying over nothing. He glanced down at the dress she was trying to pull down, but ignored it for now, he had a worried girlfriend to appease. Caressing her cheek again, Jake wondered why she was so terrified, it wasn't like he was asking her to marry him. "Scar, you can't get pregnant the first time. It's like a built in fail safe." He told her, smiling down at her and reaching over for her hands and lacing his fingers through them. He couldn't think of anything else she might be worried about, so many he would succeed this time, but either way he was never going to try anything until she was okay with it. He wasn't some evil arsehole that wanted only one thing, he wanted Scarlet, all of her. Her mind, body and soul, as he would give to her. "Come on, Scar, you don't honestly think i would hurt you do you?" He asked, kind of concerned that she would think something like that. "You know me better then that, don't you?"
​

 

[Scarlett Vittori]

Scarlet couldn't help but close her eyes as she felt Jake's fingers running through her hair. It seemed that he had always liked it after all and she couldn't help but feel glad about it. Especially when he paid special attention to them and she didn't even know why she felt that way. And then she couldn't help but remember the day they had met on the train to Hogwarts. Scar used to hate her clumsiness. And now she was actually glad for it. Otherwise, she never would have met Jakobe. Truthfully, he had already caught her attention the first time they met. He had been so bold and she had been so shy. Not that that changed much over the years. He had lifted her chin that day and told her he liked her hair. And he hugged her! Well, not really hug but he did kept her arms around her waist that day for who knows how long. She had been to shy to speak up about it that day. The seventeen-year-old couldn't help but smile at the memory. It was a very precious one that she held dearly. And as she fluttered her eyes open to look at the boy, turning man, she loved, this was one of the rare times that she was thankful for her clumsiness.

And now, her mind was back to the present and how out of excuses she was. She only had one excuse left! One! Though, the very back of her mind was still lingering at the thought of Cris being in the other room it seemed to be a lost cause of an excuse really thanks to her boyfriend's stubbornness. She bit her lip considering her options. Okay. So she wouldn't get pregnant. That was surely a relief. At least she didn't have to worry about babies anytime soon, not that she had never thought of having a family with him. She bit her lip as Jake asked her a question and she took a rather sharp breath. How could she even think that he would hurt her? Of course not. The teenager held his hand dearly as their fingers were laced together and with her free hand she caressed his cheek gently as she continued to look up at him. "Of course I know you wouldn't hurt me," she said with a soft smile. Okay. This was her final excuse. If her managed to get through, he can have his way. She would be giving him all of her, and she would be happily giving it because that's how much she loved him. Scarlet was willing to give him everything as long as he assured her that everything would be alright. Just like how he was doing now. She took a deep breath and admitted to him honestly the final thing that had been worrying her ever since he had told her that they should have sex. "B-but... I... I'm embarrassed. A-and I... I wouldn't know what to do and how to do things and I don't know a thing about it,"

 

[Jakobe Vittori]

There were certainly many reasons as to why Jake was so clinging when it came to his relationship with Scarlet. There was definitely a lot of reasons for Scarlet to leave him, he had been pretty cruel in his earlier years. After the mysterious death of his sister, he had done a lot of thinking and he had thought that maybe being nice wasn't worth it. He hadn't wanted to end up like his sister. He stopped being nice to everyone and barely even spoke to Scarlet. That had been the worst part. He had been so ashamed of everything, of himself, he hadn't even allowed himself to be seen in public with his best friend, the girl he eventually discovered that he liked. In reality, he had never liked girls. Never liked guys either, but he did like Scarlet. He wouldn't care if she was a girl or a guy, he had no preference. Scarlet was special to him, she always would be, not matter what. When he had realised that, he'd promised never to abandon her again and he'd made sure that he returned to his original personality, at least whilst he was with her. After all, Jake loved Scar, he would never intentionally hurt her in any way. The first time he had actually hurt her had been when he had randomly kissed her out of no where and that had made him feel so incredibly guilty. He never wanted to feel like that again. As she caressed his cheek, Jake leaned into her hand and squeezed her closer to him. He hated being distant from her, being close to her was all he ever wanted.

He was glad that she knew he wouldn't hurt her. After all, he didn't know what he would have done if that was what she was worried about. He smiled slightly as she went on to yet another excuse. She was seriously just stalling now. Jake ran his fingers along her face and into her hair. He had to admit it was sweet that she was embarrassed, but there was really nothing to be worried about. It was natural, something that nature deemed should happen between two people. They would surely figure it out well enough. Jake leaned forward and kissed the red head, before laying his forehead on hers. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It'll just be me and you here. Besides, the act itself is something natural. It won't be too hard to figure out. We can do it together. Like a learning curve. Think of it as a lesson." Scar was an excellent student, maybe she would respond well to thinking of it as educational. Then again, mixing business with pleasure could sometimes not end well. "Anything else you want to say?"
​

 

[Scarlett Vittori]

Six years ago, if someone were to tell Scarlet that she would be having sex with Jakobe, she would have blushed brightly and run away from said someone and would think that that person was absolutely bonkers. After all, she would never have thought that she would have a boyfriend. Let alone be Jakobe's girlfriend. She may have been thinking too little of herself but seriously, she was one lucky girl. Who would not want to be his girlfriend after all? He was sweet, smart, outgoing, friendly. He was the perfect guy! And who is she? Just some girl in the corner that can only barely pass her subjects. And even then, Jake chose her and she was glad for that. No she was more than glad that there were no words to even describe how happy she felt for she loved him all too dearly. She understood him most times and she felt as if she knew what he was thinking right now. He knew how he hated to be far from her, be it classes or whatever school activity, and while most would hate that, she actually found his presence comfortable and she didn't mind him being around all the time. Just like now.

Scarlet could see the relief in his eyes though when she had admitted that she worried not that he would hurt her. Why would he even? And she trusted him a lot. She knew how much he loved her and how much he cared for her. He was there when she was most vulnerable and she just couldn't see reason for him to hurt her when he had already seen her at her weakest and he never left. Though that didn't really change the fact that she was embarrassed and a little nervous and scared about giving all of her to him. And yet with just one kiss, he had swept her off her feet all over again. She couldn't help but giggle though at his description and suggestion of thinking of it as a lesson. Seriously? She had never been great at studying. How will she managed that? "So you're going to be my professor? I've never been good with lessons though," the Hufflepuff giggled as she looked into his eyes, answering his question silently. No, she didn't have any more and she was just waiting for him to kiss her and make her fall in love with him all over again.

 

[Jakobe Vittori]

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY, MARGA! ENJOY!

Jakobe sighed in relief. It seemed that he had finally broken down her barriers at last. With a small smile, Jake tucked a strand of her lovely hair behind her ear and kissed her. "Well, maybe you just haven't found the right teacher yet." He told her as he pressed his forehead to hers and pushed her gently backwards until she was lying on the bed. He had every intention of making this as enjoyable as possible. He'd done this only a couple of times before and certainly did not think of himself as an expert in the area. Everything was mainly guesswork, though he did know quite a bit more about this than she, but he only knew what he enjoyed and had no inkling of what she would like. Still, Jake would not be detered. He loved Scarlet and she had agreed that she would be okay with this, as long as he promised not to get her pregnant. He was sure it would be okay, he'd heard things in the dorms and from his own siblings. Of course much of it was just them messing with him, but he was sure of some of the facts. That pregnancy thing was surely correct because none of his siblings had babies after their first time, so it made sense right? Well, he was sure they would be fine anyway. He'd hate to think that he was destroying both their lives by doing something like this. Kissing her softly on the nose, Jake ran his hand through his hair and smiled. "I love you so much, Scarlet Joussane." Truer words were never spoken from the young boys lips as he got to work on her clothing. The dress itself wasn't too much of a problem, it was the fact that he was nervous and he was trying not to show it. He thought he did a pretty good job in the end.</SIZE></COLOR></FONT>

Jake looked out the window of Scarlet's bedroom. It was still daytime, which was a good thing because he would hate to think who would have made their way up here if they'd been alone for hours. He carefully removed the silencing charms and returned to the bed. Jake grinned down at the girl beneath the covers and quickly kissed her on the cheek before snuggling himself under the covers with her. "Have I told you I love you yet? Because if not, I love you." Jake couldn't be feeling happier right now if Scarlet was hiding chocolates under her pillow. All he wanted was her, and now he had her. Jake had never imagined that he could be this happy with Scarlet, the constant worrying and the pain of loss was always weighing so heavily on him, but for a short time he had been able to forget all about it and it felt like nothing he had ever experienced before. He was happy to have her here in his arms as he was happy to be able to call her his girlfriend. Jake kissed her on the shoulder and rolled her over to look at her. "Never let me forget how much I love you, okay? Make sure you make sure that I remind you everyday." He knew that one day there would come a time when his allegiance to her was questioned, and on that day he would need to make his final decision, but luckily for him, that day was not today. "You're too good for me."​

 

[Scarlett Vittori]

Scarlet had not thought of many things before today. Everything had always just been a passing thought. A blur. For her short-attention spanned mind, she could only take to pay attention at certain things. But now, as she laid naked under the covers of her bed, she couldn't help but pay attention to the smallest detail. Scarlet had never thought that she could be... loud. That was something new and she thanked Merlin that her boyfriend was great with charms. She had never paid attention as to when Jake had grown into a man from the boy she had met on the train. She had never thought about how deep her feelings ran for the Ravenclaw. Nothing was a total blur anymore, instead, they were clear in her mind as she laid quite tired from their earlier activities. How could she not be? He was obviously insatiable, thought it would be a total lie if she had said that she had not enjoyed it in the least. He was so gentle with her after all, as if she was a fragile china doll that could break any minute and he made her feel so loved and that made her fall for him even more if it was even possible.

Scarlet felt the bed shift beside her and it was not a moment long before arms snaked around her petite figure and she snuggled into his warmth as he talked to her. "You already told me that a thousand times, Jake," the redhead murmured tiredly in reply as she tried to look at him from the corner of her eye, though refused to turn her head because of her current blushing face. She couldn't help the redness! Especially with thoughts of earlier were flashing in and out of her mind! "Though I really don't mind hearing it a lot from you," Scarlet said after a few seconds as she attempted to snuggle and cuddle even more closer to her boyfriend as she reveled in the feel of his warmth against her, fearing as if this was just a fleeting dream. Maybe if she felt his lips against hers again then her fears would cease, but then again, she was too shy and still too embarrassed to even ask for such intimacy despite what they had shared only moments ago. And so, she settled for words that may get her feelings through. Or so she hoped. "In case you were wondering, I love you too, Jakobe Hitachiin."

Scarlet couldn't help the shiver that ran down her spine when the Ravenclaw kissed her shoulder. He was surely going to be the death of her if the pleasure she had been getting from his love and gentleness were fatal though his words struck a certain fear within the redhead as she faced his blond haired man. "Will you even forget? I don't want you to," she murmured as she hid under the covers and opted to hide on his chest. She really didn't want him to forget though. She was already scared to death that this was a dream. She would just die inside if Jake forgot about her. Because despite her brothers' presence, it seemed as if Jake was her only string to sanity and reality. And so, the fear of losing her had just been so evident on her eyes. "Don't leave me, okay?" she murmured as she tried to snuggle closer to him more than ever, as if he would suddenly turn into smoke and disappear forever if she wasn't close enough. If she did not hold on tight enough. Scarlet was just about to fall into a slight slumber when she had heard her boyfriend's words to which she shook her head in disagreement. "I think it's the opposite. You're too good for me," she said tiredly as her eyes were slowly fluttering close but not before she tried to entangle her limbs with his as if it would prevent him from escaping her. From leaving her. "I love you so much, Jake." She said as she fought to keep her consciousness and her eyes remain open.

[Jakobe Vittori]

Jakobe was very emotional for a boy. He'd always been told so by his family and by his friends, but it was only true when he thought about Scarlet. She was the only thing in his life that he could rely on and he honestly wasn't even sure how true that would be in the future. However, here and now, he knew how he felt about her and he had a pretty fair idea about how she felt for him, which was also a good thing, because he never wanted her to leave and he never wanted to leave her. Jake felt good when he was with Scarlet, she made him feel happy, a happiness he never seemed to be able to find on his own. His loved his family, well, certain members of his family, but he was never completely happy or completely free with them, not like he was with Scarlet. Though she didn't know much about his home life and she'd never actually been to his house, or met his family, she knew him, she knew all of him and he sincerely hoped that they never had to change from that. To never deviate from this path would be something of an immense pleasure for him. Still, he had to make sure that she was safe always and if that meant that he had to make the ultimate sacrifice, then so be it. Smiling into her hair, Jake tightened his hold around her. Her hair smelled nice and he didn't want her to move away from him. She was wriggling around so much that he almost thought he was hurting her, until he realised that she was just trying to get comfortable. After all, they'd never shared a bed before, this was all very new for the both of them. She'd never shared a bed with someone and he'd only ever shared a bed with his siblings or cousins and that was very different to this. They hadn't snuggled. Though he had hugged his pillow once.

"I don't want to forget you, Scar." This was very true, but there would maybe come a time when he would have no choice. He couldn't tell her that though, not here, not now, not with their moods lifted so high. He refused to be the one to bring her down. Scarlet began wriggling again and Jake positioned himself around her so that she was comfortable. He didn't care about his own comfort. As long as she was comfortable, he would happily lie in a weird and uncomfortable position if only it meant that she was happy. "I have a better idea... why don't we promise that if anything ever happens, we'll always find each other, always." Scar was getting tired now. He could hear it in her voice. He wasn't tired, his mind was alert, as it always was when he was with her. He wanted to be tired, to just fall asleep and not have to worry about anything, but he knew that wasn't possible. He rested his chin on her head as she pushed her head into his chest and just listened to the sound and the feel of her breath on his neck. "I'll always love you, Scar. No matter what. I will always love you." He closed his eyes slowly and was indeed near sleep, unfortunately for him, he forgot what the time was and it was only when he heard the door to the bedroom slam open, that he suddenly remembered where he was. "poop!"

[Crische Joussane]

Crische Joussane was quite unsure of what was going on right now. He was sure of the fact that his sister had a boyfriend, and had him for two years and running. He was sure that the guy was her classmate or something like that. He was sure that they were friends before that. Though what he was unsure of however was how the hell did the boy even manage to get Justin's approval? Well, Justin hadn't really admit his outright approval for the boy, but the fact that the older had not even tried to break apart Scar and her boyfriend yet meant that he was at least considering the relationship. Though, it was probably because they had been spoiling Scar and doting on her ever since Brody's death. Well, that didn't matter though. What was confusing to him right now was the presence of the boy known as his sister's lover. Why was he even going to there house today? He didn't think that today was any special though he supposed he could give kudos to the guy for being sweet and time-giving. Of course, Cris knew the basics to this. Soon enough, the two young ones had dashed upstairs and the sports trainer had to call out to them, "You behave up there you, two! Justin's gonna be on your throats if you're not!" his deep voice resonating within the house. He tried to keep himself busy, but of course, nothing worked for a bored man like him, so he opted for a nap. He rarely had an off-day anyway, might as well make the most of it. And so, he climbed the stairs, walked towards Scar's room and gave a knock. "Scar! I'm taking a nap! Wake me up for dinner!" he announced before going to his bedroom right beside his sister's room and was out like a light for a few hours.

*​

Crische woke up after a few hours though he knew not the time. All he knew was that it was nearing dinnertime and he was hungry. Well, he couldn't be blamed, Scarlet had the best cooking skills and they always had dinner early so they could have midnight snacks. Apparently, they were also being spoiled by their sister. And so, he fixed himself and headed out of the room and walking down the stairs, calling for the two teenagers, "Scar! Hitachiin!" No answer was heard for a few minutes and Cris felt his forehead scrunch up! Everything was quiet. Maybe he should try the kitchen? And he did. "Scar! What's for dinner?" he asked absently as he entered the kitchen though again, there was an absence of any response. He was seriously getting frustrated with the silence. Perhaps the two went out? Or feel asleep? He doubted the former and thought of the latter as most likely. The two teenagers were very naive anyway and childlike. With a sigh, he called out to his sister once more, "Scarlet! It's getting near dinnertime!" and with no answer, he gave up and instead went directly to the kitchen and started to cook.

It was not even half an hour later when several curses was heard from the kitchen. Unfortunately, his cooking skills were beyond incomprehensible. And with a frustrated groan, he threw every bit of failed pasta to the sink. D*mn it! I give up! his head screamed as he marched towards the room of his sister. With a slight knock, he started to talk through the door, hoping that either teenager would wake up and start preparing dinner. "Okay, Scarlet. Time to get up cause I don't want you b**ching on me because of a messed-up," he called out and tried to open the door and eventually found the knob unlocked, letting him entrance to the door, "kitchen." What he had found inside was something he could not have prepared for. Ever. Not now. Not ever. And right now, he was seething. "Get away from my sister NOW," Cris made sure to emphasize every word though his words were not enough to disturb the slumber of his innocent sister. No. She was going to remain innocent and at peace. This was obviously the d*mn boy's fault.

Cris watched as the younger struggled to get up without waking his sister while he strode towards him in murderous rage. "I am going to kill you, you hear?!" he whispered his threats rather harshly and he was just about to choke the guy really. But the Asian had managed to evade him. And so, he ran after him. Both men running around the bedroom of the sleeping redhead, both their steps light and silent while the younger was gathering his clothes and the older whispering deadly threats. "I will castrate you and I am going to throw your dead body down the river and it will never be found again," he threatened as he tried to pick up the pace but the boy was too d*mn fast. And Jakobe just had to run out of the room too! And Cris had chased after him with murderous intent indeed. "You don't even have to worry cause I'll make sure she moves on," he said as he had half the mind to go downstairs and grab a knife, but his hands would be enough. They ran around the second floor in a pace he did not know he could keep up with. "Once I get my hands on you, you are dead meat, Hitachiin!" Crische screamed before the younger had managed to slip past him again and enter his sister's room! "Dead meat!" he yelled with such utter frustration as he followed after the boy and entered just in time to see his sister given a kiss on the forehead then jumping out the window. Crische would have followed, but then the boy was already starting to apparate. "Never come back here again mot******ker!" he whispered into the air as if Jakobe could hear him. He just didn't want to wake Scarlet.
