I decided to start with the moonlight essence first, for that I would obviously need some moonlight and the only place with a window where moonlight would shine through properly was the attic.
The ladder was dusty and was squeaking as I stepped on it and the trapdoor wasn't much different, throwing up a big cloud of dust as it crashed on the attic floor.
I conjured a ball of light, sending it in first before starting to direct my magic to gather all the dust and cobwebs around the trapdoor, vanishing it all once I had a fist-sized ball hovering above the floor.
I cautiously peeked through the opening and sighed in relief as no Acromantulas, Facehuggers or other indescribable horrors suddenly jumped on my face.
The attic was actually empty, Lysandra told me she threw out everything in there when she bought the shop and never bothered to store anything here because it was a hassle to climb that ladder every time with her condition.
This made my work much easier, and after a quick cleanup to remove any dust I missed the first time I transfigured the floor below the window into a perfectly even ground to perform some alchemy on.
I had to use Dragon Blood and Dragon Bone Powder for this step because I'd have to channel the magic through the circle for an extended period of time. Thankfully Lysandra allowed me to just take the remaining Dragon Blood from her shop because I ran out of my own stock when I was making the Healing Ring. One of the perks of being married to the store owner.
The circle I had to draw was quite big because it was a rather esoteric and complicated process, but there was more than enough space for it. The attic was much bigger than my room at the orphanage.
Once everything was set up I opened the window to let the moonlight shine onto the circle directly and crouched down next to it, waiting for one of the clouds that were blocking the moon to pass by. It was a rather clear night and after just a few minutes I finally got to work and started up the circle.
The moonlight that fell on the floor in the center of the circle suddenly started rising up as luminescent smoke and began gathering towards a single point above the circle. Once enough smoke was gathered it condensed into a single drop of liquid that gave off a pleasant pale glow.
The drop was quickly caught in a small vial and stored in my pocket space. Outside of my pocket space it would not last for longer than a minute even with stasis charms and I was quite thankful for the conceptual temporal stasis effect of the pocket space that was even a step above magic and froze absolutely everything, even other conceptual materials such as the moonlight essence.
I managed to gather two more drops before the circle finally burned out, more than enough for two animagus potions and one in reserve for experiments.
Next I had to find some dew that was gathered from a place that saw no sun or human feet for 7 days.
It was certainly possible to just take any dew and alchemically refine it to that state by imbuing it with concepts similar to how I condensed the moonlight into an essence, but I remembered I could just use divination to find exactly what I needed without having to put in any extra work.
I took out my trusty crystal ball and asked to see the closest place I could gather the sort of dew I needed by mixing my intentions and desires with my magic and pushing it into the crystal ball while focusing my mind on the specific query.
I've been doing the entire process subconsciously, mostly through the metaphorical muscle memory of Nicolas that I purchased from The Company, but I decided to pay a little more attention to it this time because I wanted to figure out why my divination was so accurate compared to what the average seers were capable of.
Unfortunately I couldn't find much difference from how I was doing it to how Nicolas was taught to do it. Until I realised who it was that Nicolas learned his divination from. It was actually one of Nicolas's apprentices who taught Nicolas how to improve his divination while learning alchemy from him in turn. Michel de Nostredame also known as Nostradamus, the greatest prophet in western history, overshadowing even Merlin with the accuracy of his predictions.
With that revelation my accuracy was making much more sense, though I had nobody to compare my own methods with to see how different they were from the standard.
I snapped out of my musings and focused back on my task. The scene in the crystal ball showed me a familiar park, the St. James Park we had been to today. There was a spot near a pond, under the shade of a tree where a lot of dew was gathering on some of the grass.
I tried to query whether any of that dew was not viable for the animagus potion and some of the grass in the vision actually lit up in red, showing where some sun managed to reach.
I was starting to like divination more with every new use I discovered for it, it was such a versatile ability and I knew I just barely scratched the surface of its true potential.
After briefly notifying Lysandra that I would be going out to gather some dew I directly apparated at the spot I saw in the vision. Naturally I had checked whether there would be anyone around to see me through another quick divination before apparating.
While I was gathering the dew into vials I considered whether I should purchase a Template Stack of another character that was good in divination but I discarded that idea.
With Soul Talent, my divination abilities would only continue to improve, and the Harry Potter world seers had an incredibly diverse repertoire of prediction methods.
The crystal ball divination that Nicolas was particularly good at was only one possible use of the seer talent. The only prerequisite for learning and using any of the other methods was to actually be a seer. All I had to do was to learn the other methods during the divination class at Hogwarts and develop those skills on my own.
Once I gathered all the dew that was not marked as invalid for the potion I had 2 full vials which should be just enough for two potions once it was all condensed into essence. Which I directly did as soon as I returned, this time I just used the chalk made with my own blood because It would be a quick and uncomplicated process.
I repeated the same with the two Death's-head Hawk Moth chrysalis and stored everything in the pocket space, now there was only one step left before we could finalize the potion. Lysandra and I needed to confirm our final animal shapes through introspection.
Only after that was done could we merge some of our essence -in this case taken from saliva and hair- with a mandrake leaf and combine it with moonlight essence.
This would be the most complicated part of the entire animagus transformation and something very few witches and wizards attempted because of how time consuming it usually was.
The regular animagus potion would require one to hold the mandrake leaf in one's mouth for one complete lunar cycle from full moon to full moon to ensure that it was soaked in one's own essence. During that time the leaf would serve as a constant reminder about the animagus transformation and would force oneself to subconsciously think about which animal one identifies as most.
With alchemy I would be able to skip the process of waiting a month, but I still had to finalize the animal shape so I sat down next to Lysandra who was still deep in a meditative state with her eyes closed and closed my eyes too.
I already had a very good idea about what animal shape I would take. I was a dog person, I liked dogs because of their loyal and honest nature. Despite being placed in Ravenclaw for seeking knowledge and wisdom above all else at that point in time, loyalty and honesty have become more important to me now with another person in my life. Dogs were also fierce protectors of those they considered family and I would certainly rip anyone to shreds who tried to hurt Lysandra.
I spent a while rationalizing to myself why my character traits best resemble a dog. The animal shapes we took during the animagus transformation always had some relation to our personality and nobody was born with a personality already in place, it formed slowly over time while the person was living through various events.
So my idea was to go through my own personality and find as many personality traits that fit the desired animal best and link them together to build a stronger connection with that animal.
I wasn't sure how long it took but I felt a connection form once the last linked trait fell into place like a piece of a puzzle, completing the picture. I could now perceive a canine presence somewhere deep in my mind, just out of reach for now, but this would be enough to proceed.
When I came back to my senses again and opened my eyes I noticed Lysandra lazily lying on the bed next to me and watching me with a sleepy but loving expression.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, you finished too?"
"Yeah I did as you told me, thinking about why I resembled a cat rather than trying to figure out what animal I resemble most. Now I can feel the presence of a cat somewhere in my mind but I just can't find where, but I know for sure it is there somewhere."
"It's the same for me except for a different animal. I think I might turn into some kind of dog once we finish our first transformations, but it seems we were both successful. Do you want to finish the potion today or do it tomorrow and get some sleep for now?"
"Let's go to bed, we still have enough time tomorrow." Lysandra said and stretched herself out on the bed. Making my eyes wander to her backside as she arched her back like a cat. My mouth twitched in amusement, not sure whether Lysandra was just teasing me or it was a side effect of confirming her spirit animal. I hoped I would not suddenly start barking at post owls.
She definitely noticed where my eyes went and had a satisfied smirk on her face, so maybe just teasing.
I crawled over and to her surprise and embarrassment started making sniffing noises near her butt.
"W-what are you doing, stop it." She said while rolling away and putting a hand on her butt to cover it.
"Seeing you act like a cat, I thought I should give it a try too. Dogs always smell people's butts don't they?" I said with an exaggeratedly lecherous grin.
"You pervert, there is nothing to smell, I'm clean. I just washed while you were meditating" She said with embarrassment.
I couldn't pretend anymore and burst out laughing. But I continued with some more teasing still.
"Oh yes you're clean, but you still smell so delicious, I really want to have a taste." I said with a low tone and a suggestive smirk as I moved my hand slowly over her belly and downwards to her inner thighs.
She was still wearing the same clothes as she had on our date, but they were cleaned of the light grass stains, likely after she took a quick bath.
Her expression became a mix of confused and embarrassed, not getting the hint entirely but still understanding the suggestive nature of it.
"W-what do you mean?"
"How do you know how a blowjob works but never heard of getting eaten out?" I asked her incredulously.
"Eaten out? Sorry I never heard anyone mention that. The other girls in my dorm at Slytherin sometimes discussed ways to pleasure their fiancé while making sure to keep their purity for the marriage rituals. Using one's mouth was most commonly discussed and I overheard a bit…"
"Oh so that's how it is, well, guys also have ways to keep their women happy too, and we can use our mouths just as well." I told Lysandra who finally got what I was suggesting.
"I uuh … " She looked intrigued now but too shy to outright say it.
"We could make the same deal as this morning, you can just make me stop when I do something that you don't like." I told her, leaning in for a kiss while running a hand over her arm reassuringly. She just nodded gratefully and kissed me back.
She was still new to this level of intimacy so I decided to take it slow and start from a familiar territory. I picked her up and placed her on my lap, starting with some slow and sensual kisses as my hands wandered over her back, and occasionally gave her perky ass a nice squeeze. I really enjoyed how nicely her shapely butt filled out her jeans.
She also let her hands wander over my body, feeling out the muscles under my shirt while we continued kissing. Eventually I slipped one hand under her top and slowly started undressing her, revealing her soft and smooth skin underneath.
She was blushing but held her hands up to help me pull off her top while we continued making out, only breaking the kiss to get the top off. After a while she also started to loosen the buttons on my shirt and run her hands over my skin and I helped her take off my shirt too.
We both leaned back a little to take a moment and admire each other's bodies in the soft candlelight and I really loved how the light fell on her stomach and made the soft definitions of muscles on her belly stand out slightly.
Lysandra was also quite entranced as she ran her fingers over my own abdomen and I noticed I had quite a pronounced sixpack, something I only briefly saw when changing clothes during our shopping.
Below her turtleneck top she was wearing a sports bra and I decided that she was still overdressed and started running my hand up her back until I reached the clasp, trying to open it.
I fumbled with it for a while under the amused look of Lysandra before rolling my eyes and using my second hand too to finally get it open. I would have to practice that some more another time.
She let out a soft gasp as her chest was revealed in its full glory after I pulled her open bra off. While her chest was not the largest, it was well proportioned and perky and I really liked how it played nicely into the petite fitness coach or yoga teacher look she had.
"You are so beautiful, Lys. I'm a really lucky man." I told her as I noticed her look down on her chest self-consciously.
"Am I not too small? Everyone always said guys like large chests." Lysandra asked with some hesitation.
"I like the size of your chest, don't worry about it. I like athletic and fit looking girls and you have the perfect figure. Besides, I'm an ass guy anyway and you have a very nice butt." I told her, giving her ass another squeeze while smirking.
"Ass guy? Is that another dog joke?" She asked with some annoyance, making me laugh.
"No my dear, there are two types of guys that find different parts of a woman attractive, some argue that a big chest is the most important and others prefer a shapely ass with wide hips."
"So you like my butt?" She asked with some embarrassment while wiggling in my lap slightly.
"I like everything about you, Lys." I tell her with a smirk and lean in for a kiss again while cupping one of her tits and rubbing gently.
She moaned lightly into my mouth and I gently lowered her on the bed, leaning over her while my hand started playing with her nipples.
"Any size is fine as long as I can make you do those beautiful sounds while doing this." I told her as I started using my other hand too and ran circles around her nipple with one hand and very gently pulled on the other.
"Aah!"
Her moans picked up pace as I continued to play with her tits, adding my mouth too after kissing my way down, stimulating her in every way possible.
She had her eyes closed and was rubbing her thighs together, but her jeans were too form fitting and clinging too tightly to her hips for it to result in any friction at places where she really wanted it.
After some time she realised it too and reached out with one hand to stimulate herself but I held her hand back. Opening her eyes she looked at me pleadingly, causing me to smirk again. I let my hands trail down from her chest to her hips and started working on taking her pants off slowly.
All the while Lysandra was watching me with an expectant look.
Once she managed to completely wiggle out of her jeans I threw them aside and started trailing kisses down her belly until I finally reached just above her already soaking wet panties.
As I was kissing her inner thighs I paused for a bit and started to slowly pull down her panties while looking up at her, to see if she would protest.
She was still looking at me almost desperately now while pinching and pulling on her own nipples and I realised her horny switch was flipped and she was fully in the act now without any shyness or embarrassment.
I didn't delay any further, pulling down her soaked panties and pulling her a little closer to the bed's edge while kneeling down on the rug below the bed to bring myself in position right in front of her exposed and perfectly shaved pussy.
Lysandra was watching me wide eyed as I started kissing along her inner things again until I finally reached her pussy and gave her a long lick from bottom to top, getting a first taste of her juices.
She had a taste that was hard to describe, but it was not unpleasant and even a little intoxicating with an echo of the taste I remember from kissing, likely the work of the company perk, which guaranteed an enjoyable experience for both partners so I gave her a couple more licks.
"Aaah! Yes! Again please! Yes, like that!" Lysandra moaned loudly as I moved up and started circling my tongue around the hood of her clit.
I was occasionally licking along the full length of her pussy while my hands were holding her legs on my shoulders and pulling her pussy lips apart gently so I had better access, my main focus was on the little nub just at the top of her pussy, hidden below a hood. I started giving it slow and long licks, moving my tongue up and down, trying to constantly keep my tongue in contact with her clit.
She was already very on edge before I even took off her panties and her hips suddenly buckled when I started to relentlessly attack her most sensitive spot with my tongue, pressing her pussy on my mouth while her thighs clamped around my head.
"Aaaaah!"
Her body shuddered while she came. Apparently she wasn't a squirter or maybe it just wasn't the right technique but I didn't stop even as she came, instead I focused a little further down. Not wanting to overstimulate her clit that would surely become even more sensitive now.
While I ran my tongue over her entrance over and over again, I also placed my thumb over the hood of her clit and started to do circular motions. Just a couple of seconds later I was once again rewarded with another orgasm, making her whole body shudder even harder.
"Aaaaah Yeeeesss!"
She let out the loudest scream I heard from her yet and her arched back plopped back down. Her thighs were still around my head and I could feel the tremors of her body as she still twitched occasionally from the aftershocks of her double orgasm.
She looked really beautiful with that far away look of bliss on her face as she was panting heavily while riding out the high of the orgasm. I was once again overcome with a profound feeling of pride as I watched her slowly come to her senses again.
"Love you so much. So good." She eventually mumbled as I stood up and carefully lowered her almost limp legs on the bed.
"Love you too, Lys" I told her and found myself actually meaning it.
"Making you happy feels great, I really want to spoil you." I continued as I crawled up to her and put an arm under her head while she was still lying there slightly dazed and smiling at me brightly. My pants were certainly uncomfortably tight right now but I didn't mind too much as I saw that Lysandra definitely didn't have any energy left to return the favor.
She was already sleepy before I started and after cumming twice she could barely keep her eyes open and eventually simply fell asleep, thankfully I had already placed her in a comfortable position so I didn't have to wake her up again to tuck her in.
I simply put my pants into my pocket space to undress and pulled the covers over us. Falling asleep shortly after too.
When I woke up again I could feel a heavenly wet and warm sensation enveloping my dick and moving around the tip and when I opened my eyes I saw Lysandra crouching between my legs with her mouth on my cock.
She was carefully watching my expression and when she saw me opening my eyes she pulled back a bit and gave me a sultry smile while licking her lips.
"Good morning my love, after such a wonderful day yesterday I thought this was the only right way to wake you up." She said playfully and once again took me in her mouth, applying some suction while moving her tongue around my tip. She must have been at it for a while already because I was already really close to cumming and couldn't hold on for more than a minute.
My cock twitched and load after load of cum emptied out into her mouth which she eagerly sucked out until the last drop.
"Mmh that was certainly the best way to say good morning I ever experienced."
Lysandra once again completely swallowed my cum, showing me her empty mouth afterwards and it made my dick twitch again at how sexy she looked. I was still hard thanks to company perk shenanigans and Lysandra noticed that too, making her smile widely.
"Hmm, looks like you're still not satisfied… I want to try something." She said after some thought.
She once again leaned down and put my dick in her mouth, but she kept going, leaning further and further down until I could feel my cock hitting the back of her throat and going down even further as she adjusted her angle. She still did not gag or show any adverse reactions from taking my entire length down her throat.
"Oooh yes, this feels so good, you're amazing, try moving a little please."
I told her as I marveled at both the sensation and the sight of my entire length being stuffed into Lysandra's throat. I could see it bulge out as she followed my instructions and started to move up and down my length. Eventually Lysandra had to come up for some air again and I asked.
"Does it hurt or feel uncomfortable?"
"No not at all, it feels weird having something so big in my throat, but I kind of get excited by it."
She told me and reached down towards her naked and very wet pussy, running a finger along her entrance and showing it off to me, slick with her juices. That gesture made my cock twitch once more in excitement and she focused back on it but before she could continue I had an idea.
"Come, we can help each other, move your hips above my head while you continue what you've been doing, I'll help you too."
She flushed a little at the idea but had an excited glint in her eyes as she moved to comply. It seemed she was getting used to sexual matters rather quickly.
As she positioned herself above me I took her hips into my hands and pulled her down a bit until I could comfortably reach her pussy once again. I gave her a long and slow lick and to my relief she tasted just as fresh and good as yesterday. She let out a light moan and I could feel my dick entering her throat again as she got busy too.
We started slow and enjoyed feeling out the sensations brought by our intimate actions but eventually we started to gradually speed up.
Lysandra was soon vigorously bobbing her head up and down my length and it simply felt heavenly. Her moans made my cock feel a tingling sensation while I was inside her throat and the thought of her not feeling even the slightest bit of discomfort while deepthroating me was just too erotic for me and I felt myself approaching another peak rather quickly so I redoubled my own efforts too.
My tongue was rapidly circling around her clit while one of my fingers picked up some of her juices and moved to her ass. I wanted to see if she was interested in having her ass played with, but it would be best to wait until she came, combining the new sensation with the pleasure of an orgasm would hopefully make her enjoy it more.
She had just come up for air and plunged back down on my cock when I felt myself about to cum, so I gave a quick warning and felt her head plunge completely down to my balls and hold herself there as I came down her throat.
Feeling my cum shoot down her throat while being stimulated by my tongue was too much for her and she shuddered, coming at the same time.
As her legs clamped around my head once again I gently inserted the finger coated in her juices into her ass and started moving it in and out, stirring around her walls and bending it slightly to reach different spots.
"Aaah yesss this feels so good!"
She pulled back from my cock and moaned out as I continued fingering her ass and licking her pussy until she came a second time before her first orgasm was even over, shuddering even more violently and plopping down on top of my chest with a loud scream as her knees gave out.
I probably shouldn't have been surprised but my finger actually came out clean, making me give another silent thank you to the Sexual Calibration perk, those were the best 2 credits I ever spent. This would really allow us to enjoy all types of sex without worrying about anything.
"You were amazing Lys, seeing your throat bulge out like that while you took in my entire length was one of the most erotic things I have ever seen."
"T-thank you, I-I also really liked what you did with my butt. I-I feel so embarrassed saying it." She said with a slight whine while being a little out of breath still. That statement nearly made me ready for round three but If we kept going like that we might never get out of bed so I suppressed my reaction and placed a kiss on one of her perfect buttcheeks that were still lying on top of my chest and right in front of my face.
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about, I am actually glad that you enjoyed it, I probably should have asked though."
She giggled at the kiss and shakily got up to turn around and face me again.
"It's alright, I probably would have said no and missed out, so I'm happy about the surprise. I didn't even know it was possible to feel good from that…"
I hugged her close to my chest as she lay down next to me and placed a kiss at the top of her head. We spent a bit of time just lying there and catching our breath but eventually Lysandra lifted her head and looked me in the eyes lovingly.
"I really want to give myself to you completely but … I planned to wait for the new year, there is a specific marriage ritual I know about that needs my virginity to remain intact, do you mind if we wait that long? And would you be willing to do that ritual with me?" She asks with a hopeful expression and I smiled while hugging her a little tighter.
"That sounds wonderful, I would love that and I don't mind waiting for that at all, we have many other ways to satisfy each other in the meantime after all." I say the last part with a sly smirk causing her to groan.
"You are ruining me and turning me into a sex addict at this rate and the worst part is that I don't even mind." She whines embarrassedly and burrows her head in my chest, making me briefly wonder whether she realized that the spot she was rubbing her face in was where her pussy was resting right after she came.
"Well, you are a very sexy woman Lysandra and I'm just a simple man, there is no way I can resist." I tell her and pat her head, ignoring my intrusive thoughts.
"I still can't quite believe how much my life changed in just a few days… but I love it so much, love you so much."
"I love you too and I am glad that I decided to help you, I hadn't realised how lonely my life was until I finally had you in my life."
She sighed contentedly at hearing my response and nuzzled further into my chest, tightening her hug while her legs wrapped around mine possessively too.
"I was really lonely too, the so called nobles all looked down on me for escaping a marriage contract in that way while Dumbledore's light faction shunned me for being a Slytherin and a member of a dark family, even after I was disinherited. Not to mention my curse. It was designed to make someone infertile, so nobody would even want to marry me. Though I should have known that a curse in my family's library wouldn't be that simple, it would also slowly kill the target, something I only found out later."
"It's alright now my dear, the curse is gone and we have each other."
She relaxed her hug slightly when she heard my response, it was getting almost uncomfortably tight towards the end of her story.
"Its quite a shame we won't be able to sleep in the same bed like this at Hogwarts, at least for a while until I get us a personal dimension."
She looked up at that.
"A personal dimension?"
