Godric Gryffindor

The doors were closed after they entered and she headed towards the trunk where she kept her dresses. She picked a blue dress made out of a thicker fabric than the silk one she was wearing at the moment. It was a simple one, very comfortable and fit for going out with Godric for a walk or a ride. Rowena undid the front laces from her dress and her dress fell to the floor. She was aware of Godric standing near her but she was no longer as shy as before when he saw her body for the first time. The Ravenclaw lady took the other dress and put it on. She turned to face Godric and gave him a smile “Would you help me with these, please?” The laces from this dress had to be fastened behind so she turned her back to him, taking her hair over her shoulder so he could fasten the laces.

“I will certainly do my best to be a good teacher, worthy enough of having you as my student” Rowena said with a smile and laughed a bit. Certainly having the great Godric Gryffindor as her student in potions, a subject she was still working hard to perfection, ought to be an interesting experience. “Oh yes, I will certainly be needing both my cloak and my gloves. I should change my dress as well, I suppose” The blue gown she was wearing was way too fancy for a stride or ride outside the castle. Not that she cared too much about clothes, but it was unnecessary to ruin such a fine dress and also, the Ravenclaw lady wished to be more comfortable by wearing a simpler dress. So they headed towards her chambers. A quick and agile move of her wand opened the wooden door of her room once they arrived there.

“Then you shall be my very first student in the subject. You will be able to judge if I am good teacher or not” she smiled after Godric confessed he wasn’t very good at potions. He would be able to help her in learning more and also in improving flawed teaching skills in potions if there were any. She hoped Godric would not resent her for letting go of his hand. If she were able she would walk around the entire castle holding his hand to let the world know she was his, only his. Unfortunately things weren’t like that. Rowena smiled when he kissed the top of her head and before he could move away she stood on her toes and kissed his lips lightly. Then she placed her arm around his, like a proper lord and lady would do.

“I would really appreciate your help Godric, thank you” Rowena smiled when he offered his assistance with her hard study of potions. Besides, they would be able to see each other more often if he helped her with that. Finally, her time working would not be keeping her away from him. “Let us go, then” she let go of his embrace and gave him a soft, quick kiss on the lips before intertwining her hand with his and walking to the exit of the library. Just as she was about to open the door into the hallway she remembered Helga and Salazar were not supposed to know about their relationship and even though she didn’t want to let go of Godric’s hand she had to.

Rowena watched with sad eyes how Godric’s smile faded away. He seemed troubled and she didn’t like to see him that way but she understood why he would be, for she felt the same way concerning Salazar and his denial for students that were not pureblooded wizards. Her hands gently caressed his cheek, hoping to provide some comfort for him, her fingers gently trailing to his jaw and chin. “I could not allow those children to remain without a teacher. My talent lays in charms rather than potions, but I have learned so much these past few days. Hopefully I will be half as good as Salazar already is in the subject when the students get here” She gave him a small smile. “I do not understand Salazar’s reasons either but I accepted his conditions so he would not leave. We cannot afford to loose him before even starting” She moved closer and embraced him, resting her head against his shoulder. “Let us go away for a while. We both have worked so much lately and I missed you… Would you like to go out for a ride with me?” she whispered softly next to his ear.

Rowena knew Godric was teasing her, which only made her smile and encouraged her to tease him back, pretending in a somewhat dramatic way that she was offended by his comment. “Is that so? Charming with all the ladies?” she took one step back and looked at him, trying very hard not to laugh at this playful moment they were having. “If there are so many ladies you could charm, Master Gryffindor, I suppose your charms are no longer necessary with me” Then he kissed her again, their bodies coming together once more and Rowena embraced him once more as they kissed. “I am preparing myself for Potions. As you know Salazar was supposed to give that class, but he will only take pureblooded wizards as his students. That was his condition” she began to explain, still close to his face as their kiss ended. “So I will give Charms as was planned, and Potions to half-bloods and muggles”
