Folks, here the story comes to an end. However, another one has just been uploaded.

It's Teddy's first birthday, and he's already causing chaos. She had given the little wizard a toy broomstick, and now he was flying about a meter above the ground around the house, with Dora chasing and stumbling relentlessly. Bellatrix and Lupin were laughing hysterically at the scene.

"Did it really have to be a Broomstick?"

Andromeda asked with a frown, watching one of her vases almost fall to the ground for the second time in less than 5 minutes.

"Let me spoil my godson, Andy," Cassi rolled her eyes, finding it adorable as the little metamorphmagus changed his hair to platinum blonde like Draco's while laughing around the house.

Andromeda rolled her eyes in exasperation. "At least help me with the sweets in the kitchen," she asked with a scowl. Cassi smiled sardonically before following the witch, giving one last glance to Dora stumbling over her own feet while chasing her son on a broomstick.

"What do you need me to do?" She asked, confused, looking at all the kitchen utensils.

The party wouldn't really start for another two hours, but they had promised to help Andy with the preparations. Narcissa strongly insisted on hiring the wizarding service for a massive party.

However, both Dora and Andromeda stubbornly refused, preferring a Muggle way of preparation. This left both Bellatrix and Narcissa mortified. Honestly, Cassiopeia was quite scandalized too.

"Just mix this batter and then pour it into the pan," Andromeda pointed at the things in question, but Cassi raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know how to cook. I've never even entered a kitchen before for anything other than stealing cookies the house-elves prepared."

Andromeda laughed at that. "Spoiled little witch. Come, I'll teach you," she gently pulled her, standing behind Cassiopeia as she guided one of her hands to her waist and the other held her hand around a wooden spoon."

"You're good at potions, aren't you?" Andromeda whispered against her ear, and Cassiopeia did her best to focus on the task at hand and not on the extraordinary witch behind her.

"Y-yes," she replied with a sigh.

"Well... Just stir... Rhythmically in one direction and keep at it until all the air bubbles disappear and the ingredients are uniform," she softly said as she moved their hands together.

Cassiopeia gasped as she felt lips brushing against her neck, her eyes trying to stay on the task instead of succumbing entirely. "Like this?" she questioned with a husky voice.

"Exactly, well done," Andromeda responded gently. They worked reasonably well together.

The only challenge was Andromeda brushing her fingers along her arm, neck, and any exposed skin she could find. The older witch 'accidentally' bumped into her, whispered unnecessarily into her ear, and pushed her from behind, their hips grazing together until she was completely flushed and breathless. Cassi was already drenched with all the teasing and was nearly tearing her hair out in frustration. Andromeda had been doing this for months, but not a single damn time had she acted on it.

Not a single kiss, not one. Just provocations upon provocations. She was about to snap at the older woman when she once again pressed their bodies together, supposedly reaching for something on the shelf, just as the guests began to arrive.

The party went very well. The Weasleys were in attendance, and much to Tonks and Lupin's dismay, the twins gave Teddy a prank kit.

Nothing actually dangerous, but it would probably cause some havoc around the house. She stifled a laugh as Andromeda pinched the bridge of her nose, likely feeling a headache coming on at the thought of her house being destroyed.

Narcissa was unusually cheerful next to her sisters, a wide smile on her face as the three of them playfully taunted each other. She seemed to be the worst of the three, her classic mockery apparently a long-standing trait from being the youngest daughter. Her specialty is crafting truly clever double entendre jokes that make everyone around blush and squirm. She's absolutely sadistic.

Andromeda was seated just in front of her, a goofy smile on her face as she occasionally brought the glass of elf wine to her lips. But Cassiopeia still hadn't forgiven the older woman for all her teasing over these months.

Karma is a bitch, and she decided in that moment that Andromeda's was on its way.

She whispered a briefly adapted version of the disillusionment spell. She had started creating her own spells, much to Noctua's pride. Her mother just didn't need to know what her innocent little princess was using most of them for.

Cassi took advantage of their seating arrangement to slightly part her legs, leaning innocently against Narcissa while giving her a sweet smile. She interlocked her fingers with the blonde's before bringing their hands to her lips and kissing the knuckles.

Narcissa smiled back at her, and as planned, leaned in for a kiss on her lips, one of her hands trailing down and resting on one of her thighs. At the exact moment she knew that Andromeda was watching, Cassi slowly crossed her legs.

Without a doubt giving a beautiful view of her pussy naked and quite shiny for the older woman.

If the way Andromeda choked on her wine and looked away with her mouth open, her cheeks flushed was any indication. Her plan worked better than expected.

Narcissa was scratching her thighs over her dress absently as she chatted animatedly. Every millimeter tugging movement of her dress giving Andy glimpses of her pussy every time.

The older woman wasn't even bothering to hide it anymore. She was biting her lower lip so frequently that it was already swollen and truly kissable. She began taking longer, lingering sips of her wine without looking away.

Cassiopeia resisted the urge to grin like the cat that got the canary. She merely glanced through her lashes from time to time and innocently smiled.

I got you.

It didn't take long for their glasses to empty, and she got up to fetch more from the pantry. Andromeda quickly offered to help and followed her.

Cassi had a shit-eating grin on her lips as she entered the small room and bent over more than necessary to grab the box of juices, giving a wonderful view of her behind.

The smack she received was sharp and completely unexpected. Hands in her hair, pulling forcefully as she was abruptly pushed against one of the walls, a bag or two of flour falling to the ground with the impact. "What do you think you're doing, darling?" Andromeda snarled, genuinely livid.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Andy," Cassi smiled innocently, tilting her head slightly to the side as if assessing the woman in front of her.

"Cut the act. That little angel face of yours doesn't fool me, I know very well what a wanton little bitch you are" Andromeda pointed out with an abrupt tug on her hair, and when Cassiopeia groaned she grinned.

"Exactly what I thought. What were you planning on? Opening up like a bitch like that in front of so many people... What if they had seen uh?"

"Didn't see" Cassiopeia smiled maliciously "Disillusionment spell"

Andromeda clucked her tongue "Naughty little witch"

In the blink of an eye their mouths were together.

Tongues fighting for dominance as they scratched and pulled and bit in a melee. Andromeda's mouth was against her, then on her chin, pressing kisses along the column of her throat until they reached the soft skin just behind her neck, nuzzling there for a moment before whispering, "I want you. I need you"

She'd been waiting for this for so long, ever since they'd first seen each other in Gallant Place. Since the first time her eyes met. It was an eminent disaster and Cassiopeia was in the front row unable to control the impact it would have.

"I fucking need you," Cassi whispered breathlessly, her voice breaking as sharp teeth nipped at her throat followed by hot lips and tongue to ease the slight pain.

Then grabbing the back of her neck, she pulled Andromeda straight into another kiss, while taking advantage of her astonishment to tug at the other woman's bottom lip with her teeth.

Hands exploring the dress straps until the breasts in front of her were exposed.

She could feel herself, melting against each touch, her legs struggling to hold her over her suddenly weak knees. They were pushing themselves against the shelves and the floor by this time was a mess with the sacks of flour that had fallen and burst.

Black Effect, so to speak.

Andromeda ran her thumb along Cassiopeia's jaw as the younger witch's gaze traveled once more over every detail of her face. Mentally noting everything like a photograph, appreciating it like a work of art.

"What do you do with me girl?" Andy asked in a whisper, their eyes closing for a moment and their foreheads touching.

"Me?" Cassi gasped, finding the conversation all too familiar.

Andromeda laughed with that "Only you"
Then Cassi relented, allowing Andromeda to pull her closer. Driving her back until her thighs were bumping against a barrel of wine, Andromeda's mouth on her neck once more.

"Damn clothes," She muttered, tugging uselessly at Cassi's dress. But the outfit ignored his spoken command. Then she very impatiently grabbed the sides of the fabric and ripped it in half.

"I liked that one" Cassi protested breathlessly "How am I going to get out of here naked?"

"That's your problem," Andromeda murmured, eyes burning over her bare breasts. "Without bra?" She raised a single eyebrow, "And no panties! How depraved can you be?"

"Oh please just fuck me already!" Cassi snapped impatiently, eliciting a laugh from the older witch.

Sweet Salazar, I'm going to kill her.

Then Andromeda practically jumped towards her and Cassi was melting into another kiss. The older witch had a hand around her neck and she could feel her own pulse fluttering wildly in her ears.

The kiss was toothy, demanding after so long waiting.

Her wrists were locked in a firm grip. Cassi was panting and arching her back causing her breasts to rub against Andromeda's. A quick bite to the side of her neck had the older witch gasping before moaning in pleasure as warm lips trailed kisses and licks across her sternum.

She always loved to bite.

But she gasped when the nails dug into her back, Andromeda sure left a mark, Narcissa would punish her for that. But for the moment she didn't care, moaning in pleasure, Cassi lowered herself to her knees, peppering Andromeda's stomach with soft kisses, slowly making her way to the apex of her legs, where she stopped, looking up at the older woman.

She stood still for long moments. A mischievous smile on her lips as she blinked through her lashes.

"Provocative brat" Andromeda snarled pulling her hair towards where she wanted it, practically rubbing herself against Cassiopeia's willing tongue.

She laughed before digging her nails into the older witch's thighs, cupping her clit and teasing her with a tongue.

She slowly expanded her licks to encompass Andromeda's lips as well as her clit. Dipping momentarily into her pussy every now and then and finding that she was quite inclined to become addicted to the taste of the woman before her, Cassi began a slow, steady rhythm of licking and sucking. She trailed her fingers up and down the thighs that were wrapped around her head, Andromeda's knees rested on her shoulders and her calves rubbed against the pale red welts on her back.

When they were over it would probably look like she was attacked by a wild animal.

Running one of her hands up and down her lover's torso, she pinched a tight nipple and smirked as the resulting spasm thrust her tongue deep into Andromeda's pussy. Pausing for a moment, she flexed her tongue and stroked the older witch's inner walls before sliding in two fingers and capturing her clit with her teeth once more.

Andromeda screamed and snarled obscene words nonstop as she violently rubbed herself against her face.

She smirked at that, concentrating on sticking her fingers in and out of the older witch's pussy. Curling her fingers as she pulled out, Cassi ran them against the warm, soft flesh before pushing back, deeper, and burying her knuckles deep into the witch before her.

Andromeda's soft whimpers and moans grew louder and Cassiopeia paused in her oral ministrations to cast a quick smother before returning her lips to her lover's clit. As she teased with her tongue and pushed with her fingers, she felt Andromeda begin to tighten around her and she increased her pace, sweat glistening on both women. After a few moments, she suckled on the base of Andromeda's clit and pushed hard as the older woman cried out in pleasure, muscles spasmodic as her orgasm overtook her and she thrust her hips against Cassiopeia's face.

As she calmed down, the young witch smiled broadly at her, trailing her way up her body, never breaking contact as she returned to the other lips she enjoyed kissing.

"Mmm, little witch, I..." Andromeda gasped, "I'm sorry I ran away for so long."

Cassi leaned against her, caressing her cheek. "You were grieving for Ted, you thought you'd be betraying him. It's okay."

"I... I lo-"

"CASSIE?! ANDY?! BOTH OF YOU, COME HERE?" Noctua's voice echoed through the walls of the house.

"Well, actually, I already came," Andromeda whispered softly, making Cassiopeia laugh.

"How am I going to go out like this?" Cassi gasped, slapping the older witch while looking at her ruined dress on the ground.

"You looked so lovely in that dress,"Andromeda said as she pulled Cassiopeia by the waist, laughing wickedly.

"Fix it!" Cassi huffed with a scowl, and Andromeda took just a roll of her eyes and a wand movement to undo the damage she caused.

"I can't fix this, unfortunately," she smiled at the marks on the younger witch's neck, blatantly feigning sadness.

"Heavens, you're one of the most difficult people I've had the pleasure of meet in my entire life."

"I'm a Black, dear, what did you expect?" Andromeda laughed, adjusting her dress again before leaving the room with a pitcher of pumpkin juice, leaving Cassiopeia behind amidst the mess with a shocked look on her face.

18 years later

Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first of September was crisp and golden as an apple, and as the small family skipped across the street towards the bustling station, the smoke from cars and the breath of pedestrians shimmered like spiderwebs in the cold air.

Two large cages rocked atop the loaded trolleys that the mothers pushed, a harpy and a snake inside them screeching and hissing vehemently, and the little blonde girl with gray eyes clung tearfully to her mother, watching her siblings.

"It won't be long, sweetheart. You'll be going too, soon," Narcissa whispered softly as she stroked the youngest's hair.

"One more year," Callidora complained with a nose scrunch. "I want to go now!"

Passengers looked on attentively at the Harpy and the Snake as the family zigzagged towards the barrier between platforms nine and ten.

Cassiopeia rolled her eyes in amusement. Her youngest daughter was a spitting image of her wife. She was only distracted from her youngest's tantrum when Sirius came running behind his brother, engaged in a heated lecture about Merlin knows what.

The two were inseparable but always found the most ridiculous things to bicker about. "I'm not going to be a Gryffindor! I'm a Slytherin! How dare you, you trouble-making long-haired brat!" Sirius indignantly shouted while his brother cackled.

"That's enough, Reggie!" Narcissa requested.

"He's just as much of a troublemaker, has Gryffindor tendencies!" Regulus defended himself with hands raised and a shit-eating grin. "Unless he goes to Ravenclaw with that big head of his."

Narcissa smirked maliciously, glancing at Cassiopeia.

Okay, if Callidora was a copy of Narcissa, the other two were undoubtedly living replicas of herself.

The five Blacks approached the barrier, ignoring the attentive gazes of people around them due to the conspicuous attire of the wizarding family.

Giving a slightly arrogant glance over his shoulder at his brother, Regulus grabbed the trolley that Narcissa was pushing and darted off. He disappeared an instant later.

"Will you write to me, won't you?" Sirius asked both mothers, visibly nervous.

"Every single day," Narcissa promised with a smacking kiss on his cheek, adjusting the white strands in her son's black hair.

"Not every day," Sirius retorted quickly. "Draco said I'd come across as a spoiled brat!"

Cassiopeia chuckled at that. "Don't listen to your brother. He used to get handfuls of sweets and notes from his mother almost every day."

"I'm sure he'll do the same with Scorpius, so don't listen to Draco," Narcissa wrinkled her nose. They looked at the wall intently.

"Together?" Cassie asked with a smile, and when her children nodded, the three of them ran side by side, pushing the second trolley and gaining speed until they reached the barrier.

Sirius made a nose scrunch, but the collision didn't happen. Instead, the family emerged on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, shrouded in the dense white steam pouring from the Hogwarts Express. Indistinct figures flitted in the mist, among which Regulus had already disappeared in search of his older brother.

Numerous inquisitive stares from other wizards, scrutinizing them more intently than Muggles. Cassiopeia tried to ignore it; she was used to being who she was.

"Where are they?" Callidora asked, anxious, peering at the misty figures they passed as they moved through the platform.

"We'll find them," Narcissa reassured. But the steam was thick, making it hard to distinguish faces. Separated from their owners, the voices echoed unusually loud.

Cassiopeia thought she had heard Harry Potter somewhere discussing that her daughter might be going to Hogwarts soon. She smiled at that. Lily was just a few months younger than Callidora and equally clever.

They walked along the platforms until they saw Teddy passionately kissing Victoire behind a pillar. Cassiopeia came to an abrupt halt. Her godson and Fleur's daughter had been dating for a while, but it never ceased to shock her.

Clearing her throat, she raised a single eyebrow at the two. "In public? Seriously?" she questioned with a wry twist of her lips.

"Aunt Cassie," the two said in unison, rushing to embrace her.

"Don't mind her, she's a hypocrite," Andromeda came walking slowly towards them with a shit-eating grin on her face.

"I thought you wouldn't come, dear," Cassiopeia raised an eyebrow, studying the witch carefully.

"I got held up at work, but since Nymphadora and Lupin were busy at the Ministry, I promised to come to see Teddy off with Vicky. Where's Cissy?"

"She went ahead to help the kids with the luggage," she smiled, giving the older witch a fond kiss.

Teddy and Victoire seized the distraction to sneak away once again and kiss behind another pillar. Andromeda laughed but said nothing as she took her partner's hand and looked for their nephews.

Draco was already reluctantly saying goodbye to Scorpius. He seemed more shaken up about letting his son go than Astoria did.

"Aunt Cassie!" Scorpius grinned widely, running towards
