Chapter 145: A magical kiss

Dora looked at Chris, her eyes shaking. So, the things he'd given her upto now... were all made by his very own hands. He can actually make such miraculous things on his own. If other people came to know this... Dora could clearly understand the danger he'll be in if the wizarding world came to know about this discovery.

This shows that Chris is trusting her with such a dangerous secret.

Dora blinked her eyes rapidly as she looked at Chris. She was feeling very emotional right now,

She sighed, "You. . . you finally trusted me," she looked at him with shining eyes.

Dora might be many things, but she's not dumb. Even though Chris tried to be as honest as possible, she could tell that he was always closed off about many things.

One of them was how did he get all these enchanted things that he's been giving out?

Dora always felt bad that he did not consider her trustworthy enough to share it with her. She wasn't upset about the fact that he didn't share his secrets with her. Rather, what she was upset about was the fact that he didn't have anyone to share it with.

Even now, despite having a loving family, he was still in fact, quite lonely, even though he wasn't aware of it himself.

Chris, upon seeing her understand his meaning also nodded as he placed his other hand on her cheek, "I'll share a lot of things with you. Though trust isn't the only reason why I'm sharing this all this," he explained as he got closer.

The distance between the two of them was quite close. And Dora's mind was flashing back to the kiss last night again and again as her heart start to pound like a hummingbird's wings.

"T-Then... what is it?" She found herself asking. Instinct deeply ingrained instincts wanted her to pull her head away from his hand that was softly caressing her cheek, but somehow, she still found herself leaning into his touch even more.

"??!"

Chris looked at her in slight surprise and disbelief. Usually, Dora would always pull away when things become like this. But, this time...

Just looking at her leaning her cheek into his hand and asking this with her head tilted to a side while looking at him with that watery gaze...

'This. is. it!'

It's time.

"You want me to say it? Then I'll say all," he put his other hand on her cheek well, "It's not only about trust. Dora, in this whole world, you are the person who understands me the most. You wouldn't get scared of me when I tell you everything, and you're strong enough to protect my secrets. And... most importantly," he moved even closer. Now, their bodies were touching and their faces were inches apart. They could feel each other's rapid heartbeats.

Chris's eyes went to her lips which were already parted, as if inviting him.

Chris had one more thing to say, Chris couldn't help it. He stole a light kiss of her bottom lip, causing electricity to run through both of their bodies. And strangely enough, there was no magic involved.

As he pulled back, he saw that along with her hair, even dazed eyes also changing colors,

"Most importantly, I Love You, Dora."

This time, Dora didn't back down, nor did she hesitate as she threw her hands around Chris and pulled him in to smash their lips together once again.

Chris wasn't going to miss this chance. He put one hand behind her head to pull her even closer and wrapped the other hand behind her back. He was kissing her soft lips which he had always dreamed about, and he felt a feeling of satisfaction and completion from deep inside him.

"Mmmm~.... hmnnnnn~"

He could tell that Dora somehow felt it too, judging by her voice of satisfaction.

While Chris was lost in this heavenly satisfaction, he dimly realized that his magic moving on its own once again. He opened his eyes to see that it was the same magic that had overflowed from him yesterday. It was pale pink in color. And somehow, it flowed out much more smoothly than it did last time. It was flowing into Dora.

He was planning to continue this in the bedroom, but it looks like things will have to stop for now! He pulled back as he tried to cut off the magic connection. He didn't know if the magic was harmful. Though, I'll most likely be something safe since his intentions were not to harm her in any way.

"Hmm?"

When Chris pulled back, Dora was broken out from the marvelous feeling. Her first reaction was a moan of protest for pulling back, but then her common sense returned back to her and she realized just what she was doing.

She hurriedly tried to pull back but Chris's hands which were wrapped around her didn't let it happen. Too shy, she hid her face with both of her hands in utter bashfulness.

Chris smiled in satisfaction.

"You can't run away this time," he proclaimed, remembering the two times when she left after kissing him.

'Not this time, huhuhahaha...'

"How do you feel, is there any discomfort somewhere?" He asked, inquiring if the magic had caused any damage just in case.

But Dora took the question differently, 'D-Discomfort somewhere?! B-Bastard! Do I mention the rod poking her belly?!' This is sexual harassment!

Fortunately, she was spared from further embarrassment as one of her Diaries rang at that moment.

"Um... that must be Moody! W-We have to go! He is coming already!"

Dora had never felt so grateful to Moody before. She quickly separated from Chris with her face still bright red as she purposefully avoided glancing down at the thing which was poking her.

Chris was a bit pissed at Moody who had cock-blocked him.

'Does he not want to be saved by me from getting locked up in his own Trunk?' He thought in irritation but still let Dora go.

"Huh?"

Only after Dora completely separated from him did he see the obvious tent which was formed below.

'Damn... did she also discover it?!'

"Hey! Don't misunderstand, you dirty girl! I was asking if you were feeling alright or not. I had a bit of an accidental magic just now, so I was wondering if you got affected or something."

He explained as he quickly turned around and poured some pure magic down there, 'Down! Down boy!' He thought frantically.

'Damnit! This is a setback!' Chris really regretted this blunder. Dora is already like a scared kitten when it comes to intimate matters. She runs away at the slightest disturbances.

'And now this happened.' Chris had no idea how she'll take this.

Chris turned back after adjusting his pants. The amount of precum leaked was abnormal and Chris suspected that it must be due to that magic.

Dora still studiously avoided looking down, but she could tell that Chris was telling the truth this time. It's just that... she was still too flustered and embarrassed right now,

"Who the hell are calling dirty?! Who is the dirty one when you were like that during the k-ki— during that time!" She tried to defend herself but only ended up being further embarrassed, the wetness that she could feel at a certain region didn't help either. Her only saving grace was that she was in dark-colored jeans today, so the dampness wasn't visible at all.

But... Chris, who had a very sharp sense of smell due to his bond, still caught a whiff of a fragrance when he and Dora both stepped into the Vanishing Cabinet.

*Snap*

His dragon senses activated on its without his control and when he took in the next breath with his increased senses, his blood started boiling and he clenched his fists tightly to stop himself from doing something that he'll regret later and he even stopped breathing. Somehow, that scent fragrance seemed the best scent ever to him. It was no doubt his dragon traits showing themselves again.

"What's wrong?" Asked the clueless Dora.

"...."

'Isn't it your fault, you seductress?!'

Chris shook his head, "Nothing," He closed the door and they both went returned the way they came into the guest bedroom. But before they went downstairs, Chris stopped her as he gripped her hand firmly.

"Listen up. You're my girlfriend from now on. Do you have any objections to that?" He asked straightforwardly in his young master style. He felt that it was necessary to settle this matter. Otherwise, she'll just slip away once again, this traumatized girl.

"...."

Dora wanted to say yes right away, but her mind recalled several memories that were better left forgotten and bit her lips in hesitation. But then the strong and logical part of her brain reprimanded her.

'What's those memories got anything to do with Chris?! He's not like that! He's not after her metamorphagus abilities! And... he loves me!' It was all true. Chris really didn't have any issue.

Trust? They both trust each other. Age? That's not an issue. He's somehow more mature than her mentally, and physically, his face is sharp, and the baby fat is gone, his body is built in a way it looks quite mature.

Thus if you don't take into account the facial hair, he can pass off as a short 18-year-old guy, about the same age as her, since there are actually 18-year-old guys who look quite immature. Thus, age is also not an issue.

The issues were all with her. She was scared of having this closeness with anyone. It somehow reminded her of the times when someone tried to take advantage of her or the times she was almost raped. Dora didn't have a family like Fleur's. Thus, many people thought that she was an easy target.

The times it happened were all when she wasn't thinking straight and thus her mind was too distracted to remind her of the traumatic memories. Thus, she wasn't feeling quite ready for this yet.

'But... I don't have the option to wait any longer,' she thought as an image of Fleur flashed in her mind. Dora could see that the way that girl looked at Chris was at least not how a person would look at his friend. That beautiful girl might steal away Chris while she kept him waiting.

Thus, in the end, Dora forcefully nodded her head.

And felt a burst of joy when she did so.

'Finally! The girl I had been dreaming about, is finally my girlfriend!'

His eyes lit up with excitement and closed the distance between them. But, he noticed how she flinched when he did so.

'Oh, right. Her trauma,' he suddenly. But he wasn't too worried. She'll come around eventually. He has that much confidence in himself.

This made him change his course a bit and his lips dodged hers and landed on her soft cheek.

"No need to be scared, my girlfriend," he whispered close to her ear, "I'm not going to eat you. . . . . . . . Yet."

!!!

Dora's body trembled a bit like the colors of her hair changed.

He pulled back and smiled gently at her,

"Don't worry. We won't do anything that you're not comfortable with. I was just making it official so that I can tell my parents."

"Wha— T-Tell parent?! No! Nonononono NO! No f-ing way," her reaction to this was rather strong. And Chris knew that this one was somehow non-negotiable.

Chris did show any displeasure. Only some disappointment, "At least tell me why?"

Dora also looked helpless, "Chris, I don't want them to judge me. How would it look if I agreed to become your girlfriend the first day I saw your grand and luxurious manor and ignored even the age difference? Just wait till I get their approval, alright?"

Chris squeezed her hand reassuringly, "You're worrying for nothing. My parents won't judge like that But..." he smiled at her. "If that's what you want, then that's what well follow,"

Dora gave Chris a grateful smile.

And Chris continued, "Besides, keeping it secret has its own fun," his smiles turned teasing, "And I also want to see you try to gain both of my parents' acknowledgment,"

It was early morning anyway and when they went downstairs, Camille looked at the both of them in surprise and then smiled knowingly.

'Just... what are you thinking, O mother of mine?' Thought Chris in slight trepidation. He had a feel that Camille had figured out a lot of things without them giving out any obvious clues.

Chris cleared his throat, as he sat at the table, "Mom, Moody's coming to talk to dad. Where's he?"

Camille smiled brightly, "Your dad's exercising today,"

"...The fu— ?"

"Language honey,"

"He's exercising?! I haven't even seen him walk fast ever before," it was true. Even in the duels, Durant was like an unshakable wall. He'll just stand in one place and make you run around to escape from his spells. Your own spells would be seated away or blocked by shields or objects.

Camille laughed, "It's so funny. He ate too much yesterday and is now exercising so as to not become fat,"

"Hah!" Chris also found it funny. Upto now, Durant was fit because he maintained a strict diet. But the food made from Andromeda's recipe destroyed everything yesterday.

Chris looked at Durant who had returned after exercising, "Dad, just helped him in whatever he's asking for. And ask him to let Dora stay in return,"

....

Moody burned away the letter from Dumbledore after he'd finished reading it. It contained the usual update from his side along with the information he'd asked for. It was the information on one Chris Martin along with his family.

Moody couldn't have guessed that the secret lover of this kid Nymphadora would turn out to be Chris Martin, whose father is a potential Ally to the Order. A very powerful one at that, in both Family background and fighting prowess.

Thus, Moody, who had been disapproval of Nymphadora already having a relationship before completing her training lessened a bit.

But Moody still had to know about himself, thus he inquired from Dumbledore. And the response managed to impress him, to say the least.

-Quidditch star, won the House championship in his very first year.

-Helped in preventing the Philosopher's stone from landing into Voldemort's hands.

-Got the first place in the exams.

-Best friends with Harry Potter.

This was just the first year. The second-year was what truly shocked and impressed him.

-

-Duelled the DADA professor who was a fraud and even got him to quit.

-Then opened a successful club to help the students in the absence of the teacher, and the idea is executed and managed so well that the grades of 95% of students saw an increase in ALL subjects.

-Found the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets and slew a Basilisk.

-Representing France in the under-17 Dueling World Championship

And the one which got his inner Auror galvanized.

-Able to wield the sword of Griffindor, and was able to temporarily awaken the sword to unleash a deadly attack at the creature.

Dora now has Moody's blessings.
