A Quiet Night In (Ferret) - COMPLETED

[remuslupin]

Remus stood in the middle of the Room of Requirement, taking a quiet moment to run through his mental checklist and ensure everything was prepared. This was his and Ferret's first date - their impromptu trip down to a hospital tearoom notwithstanding - and also to a large degree a celebration of her return to the castle, and Remus wanted it to be perfect.

Looking around the setting he'd conjured, Remus smiled contentedly and with satisfaction. The Room had transformed itself perfectly to match the seaside cottage he'd imagined. A large bed-sized couch lay along one side of the wall and on the other side of the room a small intimate dinning table carved out of a solid tree trunk to resemble a wolf and a ferret wrapped around each other. Opposite the door a huge open-faced wood-fire burned and on the hearth to keep warm lay the meal Remus had spent most of the afternoon making

The air was filled with the scent of wood-smoke and the sea, and hanging over it all was Remus' own scent - not out of any narcissism at all (in fact Remus was somewhat uncomfortable commanding the Room to 'smell like me') but because he knew that his girlfriend liked it (she'd said so often enough). Lighting a number of smokeless torches and candles with a flick of his mind, Remus let out a nervous breath.

This was his first ever date, and it was with a girl he'd already come to care for a great deal, even to love if he was to be honest with himself. And no matter how many times he ran through his mental checklist and confirmed and assured himself that he hadn't missed anything, Remus couldn't help but be nervous - he wanted this to be perfect. It had to be perfect.

Smoothing down the lapel on his suit, Remus checked his watch and blew out a last nervous breath. This was it - he'd told Ferret to meet him here at seven and it was now only two minutes away. Even knowing that he'd made sure more than anything else that no one but he and Ferret would be able to find the Room, Remus still jumped half out of his skin as he heard a knock on the door.

His throat suddenly feeling dry, Remus swallowed nervous and blew out one last nervous breath before walking over to the door and pulling it open for his girlfriend. Giving her a warm smile, Remus took in what she was wearing and suddenly his heart rate jumped as his skin flushed with arousal and he was instantly steel-hard inside his tight dress pants.

Ferret hurried up to the fourth floor from the Great Hall. She had agreed to meet Remus on the Fourth Floor but had decided to go to the ball before hand. To see people she knew. But she left them quickly to be on time.

As she went to the Fourth Floor, she wondered what Remus had set up. She couldn't quite figure it out, since there was only a few class rooms and nothing much else.

Walking over to a door Remus had told her about but she had never seen before, she knocked three times. Quickly, she began to try and fix her hair, debating whether or not to take off her almost non-existent mask.

Looking up upon hearing the door open, she smiled seeing her boyfriend and blushed.

"Hi Remus," she said, almost shyly. "I hope I'm not to early...or late or..." She blushed and gently played with the edge of the corset of her gown. "You look very nice..."

[remuslupin]

Standing in the half-closed doorway, Remus' eyes shifted all over Ferret's corseted dress as he searched desperately for a safe place to look. But it seemed that every place he turned his eyes to caused his blush of arousal to deepen further, the entire dress and outfit designed as part of some devilish scheme to leave him rock-hard and speechless with desire. Doing his best to speak through his suddenly dry throat, Remus gave Ferret a welcoming smile, deciding to fix his eyes on her face and not let them drift anywhere else.

"Good evening, dearest Ferret. Your timing couldn't have been more perfect." Taking one of her hands, Remus planted a gentlemanly kiss on its back. Blushing softly at her compliment, Remus smoothed the line of his lapel somewhat self-consciously. "You look lovely too. Very fetching." Remus blushed slightly at the very memory of how closely and sinfully the corset clung to her curves.

Offering her his arm, Remus pushed open the door and led Ferret through it into the room he had asked the Room to create for them. Crossing the fingers of his free hand, he hoped that things would go well, as this was not only his first date but their first together, and a good start to things would be ideal.

Ferret blushed as Remus kissed the back of her hand. Many men had done so in the past but it seemed only Remus could make her blush and make her heart race. His compliment made her blush more. She didn't believe him, but decided to keep that to herself. He had obviously worked very hard to make this night perfect.

Taking his arm, she following him inside. She gasped and placed a hand on the swell of her bust, shocked and awed.

The room as beautiful. It looked wonderful and comforting and it smelled wonderful. Like food and warmth and Remus. She loved his natural scent and found her eyes drooping to better take in the scent of him and every other sensation.

"Oh Remus," she sighed. "This is wonderful. You have outdone yourself again..." She kissed his cheek gently, smiling and nuzzling his cheek and close her eyes. For the first time, she felt safe on Valentine's Day. Even if it was the night before the full moon.

[remuslupin]

Remus noticed Ferret blush deeper and couldn't help but allow his eyes to follow the line of flushed skin down her neck and towards her chest, before dragging his gaze away again, blushing slightly himself. Though it was the night before full moon, Moony wasn't out in force tonight - Remus was in control and he had to control himself. Ferret deserved a romantic and gentle Valentine's Day of cuddling by the fire, and he was going to give it to her.

Breathing slowly and deeply to keep himself under control, all of Remus' willpower couldn't help his eyes from being drawn like magnets to follow her hand as she raised it to the swell of her bust. Fighting back memories of the feel of her breasts in his hands, Remus tore away his eyes once more and smiled at Ferret instead, looking at her tentatively to see if she liked what he and Room had made.

Smiling with a combination of pride and relief, Remus relaxed into Ferret's kiss on his cheek and nuzzled back against her. Pulling into his arms, he planted a soft kiss on her lips and smiled lovingly down at her, gazing into her eyes and trying to communicate how much she meant to him. "Happy Valentine's Day, my dearest Ferret."

[talls]

Ferret felt her eyes prickle with happy tears as Remus kissed her. The room was beautiful, there was no doubt. So warm and comforting and full of love. She smiled gently and buried her face into his neck, wrapping her arms around him gently.

"Happy Valentine's Day Remus," she whispered, happy tears rolling down her cheeks. Pulling back, she laughed weakly, wiping her eyes.

"I'm sorry," she laughed. "I promise these are happy tears," she assured him. Smiling up at him, she took his hands and placed him on her hips as her own arms wrapped around his neck gently.

"So Mr. Magic Wolfy-Man, what is the first thing on the agenda tonight?" she asked, smiling gently. "I hope it involves food. The ball had some, but I decided not to eat there." She smiled and kissed him gently again.

"Merlin, you smell and taste so good..."

[remuslupin]

As Ferret buried her face in his neck, Remus tightened his arms around her and held her more closely, planting a kiss on the top of her head. He could feel wetness against his skin and was worried that he'd done something wrong for a moment until he noticed that her scent had no traces of sorrow or distress in it. On the contrary, it was full of love and warmth and affection and everything he expected he smelled like right now.

Remus reached out and brushed the tears gently off her face as she pulled back, smiling at Ferret lovingly. "It's alright." With his hands now on her hips, Remus pulled her against him so that he could feel her warmth and nuzzled into her cheek. "I'm just glad to know that my date planning hasn't been a disaster." He gave a wry grin.

"Mr Magic Wolfy-Man? Have you been talking to Jasper recently?" Remus chuckled gently, still amused by the fact that Ferret believed his references to talking with Jasper were all jokes. He couldn't wait to see her reaction when he told her otherwise. "And it does indeed involve food."

Kissing her back passionately, Remus chuckled at her stunned statement afterwards. "Well, after I spent the afternoon slaving over a hot stove to prepare dinner, I should hope that there's some kind of a taste and a smell on me to show for it." Taking her hand, Remus led Ferret over to the table and pulled out her chair for her before levitating the pot of macaroni and cheese over from the hearth. "It's not quite Southern American style, but I did my best."

[/justify]

[talls]

Ferret laughed gently. She was smiling so much and it wasn't fake. Not this time. Her knees almost went weak when he kissed her and she had to hold back a whine of disappointment as he pulled away.

As he joked with her, she smiled and punched him lightly in the arm. "Don't tease me when I am trying to compliment you Remus," she said, her voice filled with humor. She smiling as she took his hand as he led her to the table.

"Oh Remus, this is beautiful," she said, her voice in awe as she admired the table. Taking the seat Remus offered her, carefully in her corset, her hands covered her mouth in surprise and happiness as he levitated the dish onto the table. She would recognized it anywhere.

"Oh Remus, you shouldn't have," she said, her voice happy and it was evident she was glad he did. "That takes several hours to make." Reaching up, she kissed him again, attempting to pour her thanks into that kiss.

"Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

[remuslupin]

"Of course not." Remus gave a cheeky little grin. "Would I do that? Am I the sort of cad who would tease and joke when my gorgeous and very lovely girlfriend is saying nice things about me." Giving her a cheeky wink, he planted a kiss on Ferret's cheek.

Remus smiled contentedly at Ferret's evident happiness, both with the date itself and even more so with the dish he had prepared. The joy on her face made the long hours he'd spent working on it seem entirely worthwhile. "Of course I should have. The look on your face made it all worthwhile."

Remus smiled into the kiss, bringing up his hand to cup the curve of her cheek. "You are most welcome. And I didn't mind, really - I like to cook. Once I'm out of here and have the time I have every intention of cooking my own bread every day."

[/justify]

[talls]

Ferret smiled and felt happy tears run down her cheeks again. She tried so hard to hold them back but some continued to fall.

"I am so lucky," she whispered. "To be the one that you fell for. I do not deserve you at all." She leaned into his touch. "But I am going to be greedy and keep you all to myself, I hope you don't mind."

She smiled more and gestured for Remus to take a seat. She lifted her plate to serve herself. "You need to be really careful, the outside my be cool but the inside is going to be really hot." She licked her lips as she was the cheese string as she scooped out a bit for herself.

"This is perfect! This must have taken you hours!"

[remuslupin]

Remus leaned across the table and wiped away Ferret's tears. "You say that you're lucky? I will swear until the day I die that I am the lucky one, to still get to be with you even after how badly I hurt you with my cluelessness."

Taking her hand and pressing it gently, Remus smiled gently at her, and chuckled softly. "And I don't mind at all, as long as you allow me to be just as greedy in return."

Taking his seat, Remus grinned at Ferret's warning. "I hear and obey, my dear. I wouldn't want to burn my lips and distress you excessively." Giving her a pleased smile, Remus winked. "I'm glad it turned out okay - I've never cooked anything like it before. And I like to cook, so it was no big deal."

[/justify]

[talls]

Ferret smiled. "Well, if I can be greedy, you should be allowed too," she joked. She blushed as her boyfriend took his seat. Leaning over the table, she scooped some of the food onto his plate.

"Yes, do not burn your lips. You may need them for later." She winked before settling back into her chair.

"Well, for your first time making it, you did an excellent job," she complimented, leaning back. Settling back into her seat, she stared at the room again, letting the food cold enough to be able to eat. She took the mask from her face and set it beside her.

"How did you do this?" she asked in awe. "This must have taken hours of magic."

[remuslupin]

"It is agreed, then. We shall both be terribly greedy and refuse to allow the other to grace other men and women with how wonderful," Remus leaned across the table and kissed her, "And kind," He kissed her again, "And beautiful you are." Looking down at the food Ferret was ladling onto his plate, Remus heard his stomach growl. After hours of the smells of cooking food perfuming the room, he was not only starving but dying to taste what he'd made.

Returning the wink, Remus waited for Ferret to take the first bite. Unburdened by fears of burning himself as he was by his wolfish side's resistance to pain and injury, he wanted to start right away, but knew it was polite to wait. "Well, I thank you. The approval of such an expert is a great prize, and I can only believe that the quality is due to the beauty which inspired me." He blew Ferret a playful kiss and winked.

"With a good deal of patience and - if I'm being immodest - a fair modicum of skill." Remus tried to hold in a laugh but couldn't help but let a few chuckles escape. Never before had his girlfriend so blatantly displayed her pureblood heritage as she had with that last statement. "And it may have taken several hours, but the only magic involved was getting the Room to get me ingredients and equipment and a surface to cook on." He grinned broadly. "I prefer to cook like a Muggle - more love and care goes in that way."

[/justify]

[talls]

Ferret blushed when he kissed her, smiling widely. "The same for you Remus," she said, her voice a purr. "I am not a fan of sharing you."

But she blushed when me mentioned making the food the muggle way. Embarrassed but trying hard not to show it, she took a bite of her food.

She had an orgasm in her mouth. She let out a moan and took another bite. "Dear god Remus, this is delicious!" she complemented. It was almost as good as it was in America. Only, in America, the top was a bit more crunchy but other than that, it was beyond good.

"Remus, do you have any flaws?" she asked playfully.

[remuslupin]

Remus tried his best to look sympathetic as Ferret blushed slightly and tried to hide her embarrassment. He'd certainly made his fair share of stupid mistakes regarding the difference between Wizarding and Muggle cultures at James' house, and he was a Halfblood who was supposed to have an advantage in such matters. But he couldn't hold back a few stray snorts of laughter, though he tried to keep them as inconspicuous as possible so as to not further embarrass Ferret.

As Ferret let out a moan at the taste of the food, Remus shifted uncomfortably in his chair, his libido already so overcharged from her corset and the things it did to her breasts that even her simple moan was enough to fire him with desire. He was glad she liked the food, he really was, but his very tight-fitting pants were starting to become painfully constricting, and they were fitted so snugly that he knew his crotch would look obscene were it to be visible.

"Well, I'm not sure." Remus hid a grin - she'd walked right into this one. "I turn into a moody git for a few days every month, and on a full moon I turn into a man-eating beast. But women seem to get away with it without being considered less than perfect, so I'm undecided as to whether it's a flaw or not." He tried his best to smother a cheeky grin but couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up playfully as a few uncontrollable chuckles escaped him.
