A New Chapter (Eric and Carmen)

[Eric Draven]

It was the weekend and finally...no classes for a few days. Eric needed some time to himself. He was so busy with teaching and dealing with Voldamort was never easy, which added extra pressure.

Eric was up in his room and decided to head out to Diagon Alley, to see what was going on there for the weekend. He quickly got himself up too snuff, grabbed his ciggarettes and left the grounds.

He walked past a few old shops and came to the three broomsticks and quickly rememberd his run in with Carmen. He often thought about her. She was it...she was the one for him, but everytime they met it was a disaster. He remembered that she had her own place here now and was no longer staying at Voldamorts house. "I wonder if I will see her", he thought to himself. "If I ever get another chance with her..I'll make it worth her while", he thought as he kept walking.

Eric couldn't shake the memories of Carmen. The woman had a hold of him and it hung on tight. He thought of her beautiful flowing hair, her nice body shape, her beautiful eyes and her voice...just hearing her speak drove Eric crazy. He always felt bad about the things that happend between them, but what is done is done.

He leaned up agaisnt the fence just outside of the oldd book store. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a ciggarette and lit it and observed the streets. Eric looked up after taking a drag of his smoke and blinked twice. He couldn't believe it, there was Carmen walking so gracefully towards him but still was quite far.

"This is it...it's a sign" he thought to himself. He couldn't believe that he saw her, and how she made his heart skip a beat with her presance. "I'm going to make it right this time" he said to himself with confidence. He threw his smoke on the ground and twisted the butt with his boot. He then ran his hands through his hair and made sure that he looked ok. He then walked towards Carmen. "I hope she will talk to me" he said under his breath.

He walked up behind her quietly and tapped her on the shoulder. He bowed to her, and as he was back up to an upright position he greeted her with chilvery.

"Hello Carmen, It's verry nice to see you again", he said with a handsome grin. "I was wondering if you would like to go to the sweet shop and get an ice cream with me....my treat" he asked her in a begging sort of way. What woman would refuse ice cream.

[Carmen Erickson]

Carmen had been out getting a few things she needed. She shopped often as it was the only thing she rally had to pass the time with. She had limited friends and no boyfriend. So the time between work and Deatheaters meetings were spent at the hotel, which grew boring after time, or out in the shops and streets. She saw many deatheaters on the streets sometimes and grew excited knowing the war was coming. Carmen really could not care less about Potter and his friends but she did still care for the Dark Lord.

She had been out today picking up few new quills for work and pretty parchment. She had bought a bottle of light blue ink. Of course books were in the the bags as well. Carmen went through books quickly. She loved to read. Her mind was a library which no one could disturb. She was thinking about her parents as she mad her way back to the hotel with bags in both hands. Carmen missed them greatly but knew that they would have nothing to do with her because of her following Voldemort.

The pretty girl did not notice the man moving up behind her and when she felt the tap on her shoulder, she jumped slightly and let out a little yelp. Carmen turned to find Eric behind her. She took a step back. This man and herself had not known each other long but they had already had their experiences. She watched as he bowed to her and as she always dd, Carmen thought to herself how handsome he was...but she could not let that blind her. She had to be strong.

"Hello Carmen, It's very nice to see you again," He said and Carmen nodded in reply. "I was wondering if you would like to go to the sweet shop and get an ice cream with me....my treat" Carmen looked up at him for a long moment but said nothing at first. Ice cream? It was a bit chilly for ice cream but what harm could it do? With a bit of hesitation, she nodded. "Alright." She told him softly.

[Eric Draven]

"Alright." She told him softly. Eric blinked and shook his head a bit in disbelief, that she was actually agreeing to go anywhere with him. They didn't have the greatest of times together.

He stood up as straight as a board, and grabbed her arm and steered her in the direction of the sweet shopp. He was walking with her and not knowing where to start, and what she should say. He reached inside his long trench coat and pulled out his gold case with his ciggarettes in it and reached aswell for the matching lighter. He opend the case and put his mouth over 1 of the butts and pulled it out with one of his teeth. He then put his ciggaretts infront of Carmen.

"Would you like a ciggarette?", he asked her in his raspy tone. He then passed her the lighter and closed his smoke case and put it back in his pocket. He kept glancing at her as they walked together down the street. He noticed other deatheaters as they watched as the two of them passed. "What are they looking at" Eric thought to himself.

"So Carmen, what's your favorite flavor at Flouren's ice cream parlour?" he asked her just to create small talk to kill thee silence.
"Mine in mint with chocolate bits" he said to her, again in a raspy voice.

[Carmen Erickson]

When he took her arm, Carmen flinched slightly. It was the same arm that she had injured a few days ago in the Three Broomsticks as she had run from this very man. It did not hurt anymore thanks to the spell he had cast on her but she still favored it slightly. Suddenly she was being steered towards the ice cream shop.

Carmen looked up at Eric as they walked. It was a sin how attractive this man was. Carmen mentally scolded herself for seeing his attractiveness instead of being stronger focused on how rude he had been to her. She really did not need anymore heartache right now. When he offered her a cigarette, Carmen took one and then with his lighter, lit it and inhaled deeply. Carmen ignored the other people on the street. She was sure they would run back to their leader but let them... she didn't care.

"So Carmen, what's your favorite flavor at Flouren's ice cream parlor?" He asked her. "Mine in mint with chocolate bits" Carmen murmured at the rumble of his voice...why did she like that so much?? "Black cherry." She finally told him softly. Inside the shop was not surprisingly empty. Not many wanted ice cream when the weather was still chilly.

Carmen slipped her arm out of his hand as politely as possible and then headed for one of the tables and set her bags under it. She she favored him with a small smile before moving to the counter. Carmen did like Black Cherry ice cream, but there were so many different flavors here.

[Eric Draven]

"Black Cherry eh?" he said to her as he took a drag of his ciggarette. "I haven't had that flavour in years", he said to her as he turned his head and looked at her. What was it about her?. Usually if they didn't work out the first time, he wouldn't bother again with the same person, but this girl had him and had him good.

As they were walking closer to the ice cream shop, Eric noticed that she withdrew her hand from his. She started walking over to a table and she put her bag underneath it. Eric noticed a little smile from her before she walked up to the counter with all the different flavours of ice cream.

Eric followed behind her and put his arm around her waist and mmoved her a bit closer to him, and looked at her and smiled. There were so many flavours to choose from, but Eric did love his mint ice cream. He brought Carmen with him in his arms to look at all the different kinds. Eric, for a man loved this place. It was always so warm and inviteing.

Eric couldn't keep his eyes off of her, while she was looking at all the differents kinds of ice cream. "She is so stunning" Eric though to himself. "I'm a very lucky man that she is here with me", he thought to himself again wondering when to make a move.

"I think I'm going to have Maple walnut today", Eric said to her. "I haven't had that in ages either, and from what I remember it's quite tasty" he said. "Shall I order you a large black cherry?" he asked her with a smile, while bringing her more close to him and took a chance and gave her a small kiss on the cheek, and waited for her response.

When his arm went around her, Carmen jumped slightly and looked back over her shoulder at him. Her own hands moved to rest on his arm. She blushed softly and then forced herself to look back down at the ice cream. "I think I'm going to have Maple walnut today", He told her and Carmen nodded softly.

"I haven't had that in ages either, and from what I remember it's quite tasty" He added and Carmen smiled. It was good but she would stick to her original choice. "Shall I order you a large black cherry?" He asked. Carmen was about to answer when she felt him shift from behind her and then his lips touched her face. Carmen blushed even harder now. She could not stop the smile that formed on her face.

She cleared her throat softly and then said "Yes," She looked at the shop worker smiling again. "A Black Cherry scoop please." When the woman placed her cup of ice cream on the counter Carmen took the treat. She turned in his arms now and then very quickly and very briefly, she moved up onto her toes and kissed his lips. The kiss was very brief and very soft but it was there.

She stepped away from his arms now and with a soft smile, made her way to the table where she sat. When he had joined her, Carmen glanced at his face and then began eating. She had a peculiar way of eating this. Carmen picked out all of the halved cherries and then ate them before eating the actual ice cream.

[Eric Draven]

Eric awaited Carmens reply on which ice cream flavour she wanted. He then heard a soft "Yes" and a beautiful smile to follow. He tapped on the counter at the woman to let her know they were ready to order. "Ma'am, the lady would like a black cherry scoop, and I will have a scoop of maple walnut please" he asked her politly, which was very odd comming out of any deatheater's mouth.

Eric couldn't help but look at her, and how much she was blushing. The woman rang the bell to let us know the order was ready. "Here ya go kids", she said with a grin like she noticed them acting like school kids. Carmen grabbed hers off the counter, then Eric grabbed his and before he could taste it, Carmen's lips touched his briefly. He slightly jumped back a bit out of pure shock. Then he saw Carmen's smile and it made his heart beat faster.

Carmen then turned and headed for the table that she selected when they first arrived. He followed of course. He noticed Carmen kept looking at him briefly as she was picking her cherries off her ice cream. Eric snickered at her little habbit. " I have to say that it's pretty cute the way you eat your ice cream Carmen, until it looks like a chunk of swiss cheese", he said to her jokingly as he put his hand on her leg and smiled at her with his sexy grin.

He couldn't believe how great this was going. That she even considered giving him another chance. It was the happiest he has been in years. Eric was licking his ice cream and looking over at carmen, obviously making silly gestures with his tongue.

"There is something I have to ask you Carmen", he said to her quietly
"Are you free tomorrow night at all?" he asked her while moving his hand more towards her thigh, awaiting her reply

[Carmen Erickson]

Carmen had not liked the way he had reacted to her kiss. She hoped that she had not overstepped her boundaries. She had not wanted to make this whole situation any more awkward than it already was. When he spoke, she looked up at him with a cherry in her mouth.

" I have to say that it's pretty cute the way you eat your ice cream Carmen, until it looks like a chunk of Swiss cheese" He told her and she blushed looking down at the dish before her... Yeah, the way she ate this was strange. But she had always eaten it like this. She liked the cherries first.

His hand was suddenly on her leg and Carmen gasped softly. She had not been expecting it. She saw his grin and gave another in return. This was fine... It was not like she had never been touched before. She rolled her eyes as he licked his own ice cream. "At least I am not practically making love to my food..." She joked back now.

"There is something I have to ask you Carmen", Eric told her and she looked at him seriously. "Are you free tomorrow night at all?" She could feel his large hand moving higher on her leg and Carmen slipped a little closer to him. "I think I could be free tomorrow." She replied. "Why?" If he was going to touch her, she would touch him as well. One of her hands moved to his lower back and then up under his shirt. Her nails gently traced circles on his skin as she watched him.

[Eric Draven]

As Eric awaited for Carmen's reply he noticed that she moved more closer to him, and now her nails were scratching him on his back. Wow this was moving quite fast. Eric loved the feeling, as it has been sometime since he has been with a woman and her touch already felt amazing. He shiverd a bit as she was tickling him a bit with her nails.

"Well" ,he said to her trying to respond normally as his manhood was growing slighlty. "There is a St. Patrick Day's dance and celebration at Hogwarts in the Great Hall and I was wondering if you would be my date?", he said to her gulping in the middle of it because she felt so good and she was quite distracting.

He couldn't help but thinking dirty thoughts of her. He never thought things between them would be going so well and it cought him off gaurd. He wanted her...and badly. He couldn't stop thinking about making love to her, expecially when she was touching him in his turn on spots but he had to keep it together.

"Well, do you want to go?", he asked her again while trying to get his mind out of ther gutter.

[Carmen Erickson]

Carmen smirked softly when he shivered. She liked that she was having that effect on him. "Well" He told her and Carmen tilted her head slightly. "There is a St. Patrick Day's dance and celebration at Hogwarts in the Great Hall and I was wondering if you would be my date?"

Carmen smiled now. "Do you plan on leaving me there?" She asked him jokingly. She stopped with the nails and instead ran her now open hand up along his spine to his strong shoulders. She loved the way his skin felt. So much softer than she would have expected any male body to be.

"Well, do you want to go?" He asked again and Carmen nodded. "Of course I'll go." She told him softly. "I have never seen Hogwarts before and at least I'll know my way back if something happens. She took her hand from his back now and instead placed over his hand that still rested on her thigh.

She stroked his hand and then kissed the side of his jaw before turning back to her ice cream. She didn't want it to melt. She did not remove his hand. He could of course remove it if he liked but Carmen liked the way it felt.

[Eric Draven]

Eric was quite nervous about asking Carmen anything, expecially to go on another date with him. Really...he was a fool to do so, but he cared about her so much he couldn't resist.

He saw her smile after he asked the second time and heard her voice answer, "Do you plan on leaving me there?" she said to him with a smile as she still continued to stroke his back and shoulder's. Eric loved every moment of it, and was turning him on but he knew he had to control that a bit.

"Of course I'll go, I have never seen Hogwarts before and at least I'll know my way back if something happens". Eric knew exactly what that meant. "Such witt you have Carmen", he said to her with a smile and then put his head down and bit and then raised it back up and looked at her and smiled with a flirtatious grin. He then felt a little kiss on his jaw from her. How he loved her spontanious kisses. "That's two", he said to himself.

He noticed that Carmens hand moved from his shoulders, and ontop of his hand that was placed high on her thigh. He looked at her and could not take his eyes off of her. She was stunning, everytime he saw her she always presented herself beautifully and Eric loved that. She always smelt great too, and that drove him crazy. Her overall excited him more than any other woman had.

Eric then moved closer to her. So close that he put his mouth right by her ear and whispered to her in his low sexy voice, "I have something for you".

He leaned back in his chair and reached into his trench coat and pulled out his wand. He looked at Carmen and smiled, then he tilted his wand up..then down quickly..and then back up but with a slight twirl, while mouthing a few words.

"For you my lady" he said to her. "Thanks for comming with me today" he said to her as he leaned back over and gave her a kiss on her sweet lips.

Carmen did not move away when he leaned sown towards her to whisper in her ear. She felt his warm breath on her skin and the sensation excited her. "I have something for you". He told her and Carmen shivered at the rasp of his voice. She watched as he cast a spell and slowly a beautiful rose came into existence.

She smiled brightly and then reached up for it. Carmen brought it towards her face inhaling the fragrant scent. "For you my lady" Eric told her "Thanks for coming with me today" Carmen turned her head to thank him for the rose and then he was kissing her. Carmen's words were lost in her throat and instead she gave a soft sigh/moan combination.

Carmen kissed him back softly and the hand not holding the rose moved to tangle in his dark hair. She shifted in the seat to face him. The kiss seemed to last forever before Carmen broke it. She pulled away and then moved back giving a second much quicker kiss. Carmen smiled again and then looked at the rose once more.

"what should I wear and what time is the party?" She asked now in a soft voice.

[Eric Draven]

Eric loved Carmen's kisses and was enjoying every one. It was getting quite steamy between then and quite quckly, but it was sure mutual between them. Eric watched as she kept looking at her rose and smiling back at him.

"What should I wear.. and what time is the party?" she asked him. Eric was so happy that she was agreeing to go out with him, and he couldn't believe that this was all happeing so fast.

"It starts at 6pm in the great hall at hogwarts", as his hands moved down to hers, and he held them cupped in his hands. He than looked at her and smiled. " And for the what you should wear part", he said to her jokingly as he stood up and reached in his pockets and pulled out some money. "You leave that to me..I would love to buy you your outfit..please allow me to do so Carmen?..it would be my pleasure as your date".

He got down on his knees infront of her and opend her hands up and slipped enough money in her hands for 3 dresses. He then looked at her and ran his hand through the side of her face to move her hair from her eyes and then kissed her lips ever so lightly as he put his hands around her waist.

[Carmen Erickson]

"You leave that to me..I would love to buy you your outfit..please allow me to do so Carmen?..it would be my pleasure as your date". He told her. Carmen tried to protest. She did not need him to buy her dress... She was able to take care of herself. Carmen opened her legs for him as he got to his knee before her. She had no idea what he was doing.

But when Eric put the money into her hands, she shook her head. She was about to protest when he kissed her again. How she loved his kisses....

When his arms went around her, Carmen slid closer putting her own arms around him. Her arms went around his shoulders and her thighs were against his ribs holding him close. The money was still in her hand and she looked at it now as she rested her head on top of his.

"This is way too much Eric." She told him now. She liked having him close to her. But being this close made her think of what it would be like to be with him in bed and Carmen blushed even though the thought aroused her.

Her free hand moved to run through his dark hair. He felt so strong to her. His arms were secure and his torso solid. Carmen liked that. She felt safe with him. Protected. Even after all he had done, Carmen was falling for him. She would not yet admit to herself however that she may be falling in love. It was too soon for that wasn't it? Her hand moved down his back now rubbing the skin through his clothes.

[Eric Draven]

When Eric was in between Carmen's legs, and feeling her soft touches he was definatly in a confort zone. It felt amazing, and he couldn't help but get more arroused..but he knew he had to keep himself in line. He loved that way she smelled. It is official...Eric was in love with her and he could feel it more and more with each miniute they spent together.

"This is way to much", she replied. Her hands now moved to his dark long hair, and how Eric loved it when she would do that. He couldn't help but getting more and more arroused. "It's not enough for you Carmen", he said to her as he slid more into her thighs. So close infact tht he could feel her warmth, and it was becoming way to hard for him to control. "Please alow me to do this Carmen", he pleaded to her. He was always quite persistant.

He looked at her with a look that he had never given her before. He reached his hand up and held onto the side of her face while rubbing it slightly. "You are so beautiful Carmen" as he again leant over and kissinng her a little more harder and longer than before. He loved it and he coudn't stop thinking about making love to her, and it was getting more and more harder to control. Eric had to get up before he took her right then and there in the shoppe.

"Carmen...do you want to go outside for a ciggarette", he said to her as he stood up and held out his hands to help her up. At that moment, Eric got an idea...but how could he pull it off???. "Nothing a bit of magic couldn't make happen", he thought to himself as he smiled at her awaiting to go outside.
