Chapter 136: Night Visit

I had sent Sev and Lily off and now I'm back in the forest camp. It was strange, I remembered the moment I took that same train... in the future... but at that moment the farewell to my family was a disaster, it was when I still had the emotional state of a stone... with depression.

It had been crap then, but over the years I've realized it more and more. I don't feel guilty because of my alignment, but I think I should be excused for it in the future.

I got a little nostalgic thinking about my family, Luna, Tonks, and the other girls... but I had Elise to comfort me. We gave affection for a while until I got thoughtful, she asked about it and I replied that she was a little doubtful about a particular decision.

After doubting my morality for a while and chatting with Elise, I watched as night fell. I got ready and said goodbye to my beloved unicorn, who was a little angry with what I was going to do, but only a little bit, she had already accepted it and even wish me luck

Using [Travel] I disappeared from the camp, leaving Lys somewhat dissatisfied, preparing to complain to me in the future.

...

During the night, the Evans family had dined without one of its members, the atmosphere was somewhat strange with the absence of Lily. Added to that was Petunia's silence, who stirred her food with her cutlery, barely putting anything in her mouth, she was scolded and had to finish eating, but she still acted abnormal.

Later, Petunia found herself in her room, lying between her sheets, while every once in a while she glanced at the bed on the other side of the room where her sister should sleep... but she was no longer there.

She couldn't believe Lily was going to Hogwarts, it seemed unreal to her that she wasn't here anymore. Although she didn't want it, she couldn't deny that she was jealous of her sister's opportunity, she wanted it too, but she couldn't have it... she was depressed, anguished, envious...

She could only snuggle up and think about her friend who was also left behind, and how unlike her sister and her big-nosed friend, she would still be able to see him frequently while they could only exchange letters. This idea made her somewhat happy, she felt that she had something that the others did not and that the others would be the ones who would have to envy her.

Smiling, she reached over to the nightstand next to her bed and pulled out what appeared to be a piece of cloth from inside the drawer. She brought it up to her face and rubbed it against her, beginning to sniff at it with a smile and a relaxed expression.

After some time enjoying her rag in the privacy of her room, she heard a tapping sound coming from her window. This startled her and she quickly wanted to hide the rag as if she were trying to hide the biggest secret, dropping it in the space between the bed and the wall, where no one wouldn't see it.

After that sudden fright and that she was managed to hide evidence, she looked towards the window and noticed a pair of very distinctive red eyes. Knowing who it was, she was even more nervous and prayed with all her might that the sudden guest didn't see her sniffing the cloth or she might die of embarrassment.

Half staggered, she approached and opened the window, curious and expectant about the reason for the visit of the person she most craves. This situation almost seemed like one of those fantasies she used to have, only in her fantasies, instead of climbing to the second-floor window, her special person would throw small rocks from the yard to get her attention.

"Red, what are you doing here?!" She asked nervously in whispers to try to avoid her parents hearing her. Although she, very innocent in many ways, knew, or at least felt, that this was wrong.

"I came to see you, what else did you expect?" I scoffed a bit as I walked into the room.

"Really?!" She was even more excited, the amazement wouldn't be so much if it wasn't so late at night, she felt that this feeling that it was something forbidden worried her, but it excited her at the same time.

"I guess you're not liking Lily's departure" I asked, ignoring the fervent excitement of the girl in front of me.

"..." The girl came to, remembering the situation and losing the previous emotion.

"You don't need to keep it to yourself, you can be honest, it's just the two of us here" I said reassuringly... ignoring that I sneaked into her house a while ago, I sneaked into her parents' room with my invisibility, I used [sleep] on them with enough power to knock them unconscious for quite a while, I went outside their room to cast soundproofing spells as a precaution, and then left the house and climbed up to her window to make a dramatic entrance.

Petunia seemed to break when hearing those words come out of my mouth, without holding back she came running towards me and hugged me as she began to cry. She muttered between sobs that she want it too, that she was jealous, that she also wanted to be special. The only thing I could do for her at this moment was hug her, sit on her bed, and comfort her as much as possible.

We hugged for a while until she finished venting, after she calmed down she was very embarrassed and an awkward silence was generated because she didn't know what to do other than slowly separate from my arms.

"Are you finished?" I asked laughing as I patted her, to which she nodded blushing.

"Did you come here for?"(Petunia)

"To see how you were doing? Yes, but also for something else... come" I gestured for her to lie down on the bed while I did too.

I lay down and she, although extremely embarrassed by what I did and asked to lie down next to me, she also lay back without looking directly at me, not without shaking a little.

"I was thinking that it was time to be more honest, I don't know when I could leave, according to my estimates there is still a long way to go, but nothing is completely certain" (Red)

"WHAT?! ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE?!" She screamed so loud that I was grateful for those soundproofing spells I had placed earlier.

"Yeah, that's why I wanted to…finish some unfinished business early before it's too late" I said as stroked her hair.

Petunia was silent as she bit her lip hard, again with the intention of crying. This news was devastating and she didn't know what to do or say.

"Y-you're leaving... W-why-y?" she stuttered

"Um... I have a life in another place..." I didn't know what else to say, I wanted to give her an idea, but without revealing everything at once.

"B-but...!" She was getting more and more afflicted, too much.

"Relax, it won't be now, but it will happen in the future" I hugged her trying to calm her down, but then I moved away a bit to look at her and say "I have a girlfriend"

"WHAT?!" She asked, yelling once more, each news she received stressed her more and more, "you have...a girlfriend?" She asked now without strength and on the verge of tears.

"Yeah... but... you like me, right?" I went direct.

"..." She didn't answer, a moment ago she was about to burst into tears again, but now she was turning red as a tomato seeing that one of her biggest secrets had been revealed.

She tried to turn away and hide her face in shame, but I didn't let her. While she was lying on the bed, I placed myself on top of her and with my hands, I held her so that her face was right in front of mine. Her scared lamb's eyes stared at my piercing predatory gaze.

"Letsh me go" she tried to say, but she had her cheeks squeezed by my fingers and she could only utter something that made me laugh.

"I already knew..." I affirmed making her blank for a moment "For a long time" and with those words, she became more and more embarrassed. I let go of her face, but I didn't pull away from her, I was still with my arms on the sides of her head.

*Sob**Sob**Sob* Now she no longer bothered to hide, but remained in a state of complete sadness and confusion.

"No crying" I exclaimed, trying not to start again.

"But…but…you have a girlfriend…and I…you knew…"(Petunia)

"I have more than one" I clarified, wanting this conversation to move forward.

"... what?" She stopped crying from her slowly as she seemed to process those words.

"I have more than one girlfriend... it's like 3 right now...and I miss them, that's one of the reasons I want to come home to see them..."(Red)

"What? But... how...?" She seemed more and more confused, as if my words didn't make sense.

"I told you I wanted to be honest, so I'll tell you the truth. I'm not human"(Red)

"..."(Petunia)

"Not a witch like your sister, more like something else..." I said as I stared at her, and the pupils of my eyes changed from dots to vertical lines in an instant.

The look on her face, the surprise, was impossible to hide. Her mouth would open and close without being able to produce any words.

"Do you still like me like this?" (Red)

"Uhh… I… you…"(Petunia)

"Don't worry, I'm not pressuring you. I'm something other than human, but that doesn't change many things. My couples are human, most of them... the reason why I have more than one girlfriend is also because of that, because of me race"-'Thanks Newt for giving me such an excuse'

"You... Do you... have to have several...?" She hesitated to ask, she was already very shocked by the things I said to her, so it was difficult to ask the questions correctly.

"It's in my nature and it's something I can't control, but it's not that bad. Have you heard the tale of Beauty and the Beast? Or any other fantasy where the maiden falls in love with the other special being" I said bringing my face, closer a little but hers, making her uncomfortable and embarrassing.

I told her a little about my situation, perhaps embellishing it more than necessary and ignoring some of the problems that this causes. When I narrated it, I used my [Blood Control] on her to keep her emotions more stable and take away some of the possible rejection she might feel.

"And those girls...?" She asked herself aloud, calmer, but still surprised.

"They know it and they accept it, at first it's hard, but it's usually quite fun as time goes by. I... I knew you liked me, but I didn't say anything because my situation was special and I didn't want to pressure you into anything or make you feel bad... but I don't know how much longer I'll be here and I want to know..." My look returned to being one that could penetrate the soul.

"What?" She asked hesitantly, this was beyond what she had imagined would result from her crush walking through her window.

"Do you still like me?" (Red)

"Huh?!" She was startled, after what she heard, she did not expect this question again.

"I like you too for a long time" (Red)

"Ahh! Really?!" (Petunia)

"Yes, do you think that I would be so close to you otherwise, that I would take your hands with such confidence or be in this position" I pointed out that my body was almost supported by hers.

"I… I thought you liked my sister too" she confessed one of her biggest fears, ignoring most of the things I said earlier.

"Oh, I like her too, when I saw you both I didn't have a predilection for either, they were both beautiful girls... and when I got to know you I liked you equally. I already told you, my 'species' doesn't have a single partner, and although I know this isn't something humans do...I couldn't help but fall in love with both of you" I whispered as I slowly approached her and my breath warmed her ears.

"Mnhh..." she just grunted as felt the heat it generated.

"Tell me the truth, I can't hide it anymore, I like you and I want you to be completely mine... you... Do you like me too? Let's ignore everything I said before, without that in between, do you really like me?" With my auras I generated some pressure, I wanted to see if after everything I told her she would still keep her words.

"I-I...I-I do like you...but..."(Petunia)

"No buts! Do you still like me or not? Do you like me?!"(Red)

"Y-y-yes..." she replied with difficulty and at a mosquito volume.

"That's what I wanted to know... I guess if that's the case, you don't want me to go either"(Red)

"I don't want..." she said pleadingly as she wrapped her arms around my back and hugged me, almost crying once more "I like being with you, I don't want you to leave us... to leave me"

"I know, but I have to go" I explained and she hugged me tighter as if she wanted to hold me back "Although..."

Sorry for taking so long, I know I took a week more off than planned. Those exams destroy me both physically and mentally, my creativity was affected, and my sleep rhythm still hasn't recovered. At least I approved.

It's funny that before that exam, considering the writing speed I was getting, I had thought about increasing the number of chapters per week. The world said "Nope, you won't increase your productivity, suffer"
