Celestia's face was red, she couldn't let out a single word, she couldn't meet Harry's gaze.

"Ready?" Harry whispered, his voice barely audible.

Celestia nodded eagerly, wanting to get out of the room that smelt like sex. It was so awkward that Celestia wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole, Harry didn't know what to do exactly and neither she did, she had read few things in the books but couldn't understand the same in practical.

They have tried having sex, but it was painful for Celestia, and it wasn't fun as she had expected, the entire thing was awkward. Celestia was glad when it ended.

Together, they slipped out of the common room and into the deserted corridors of Hogwarts. Harry under his invisibility cloak; Slytherin common room was thankfully empty.

The cool air brushed against their faces as they made their way towards their respective classes. Celestia bid Harry a reluctant goodbye as they reached the fork in the corridor, their fingers lingering for a moment longer than necessary.

"See you later," Harry murmured, his eyes filled with longing. "We'll try again... Urg... I'll look into it, I am sorry..."

"It's alright," Celestia replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She avoided his gaze, "I understand that you didn't know how to do it, it isn't like we have prior experience"

"I'll try to..." Harry mumbled, he sounded so awkward that it was painful to even be there.

"Until then" Celestia replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Harry left for divination, towards the astronomy tower. As Celestia headed towards the Arithmancy classroom, she couldn't shake the feeling of emptiness that settled in her stomach.

Lunch had come and gone, and yet she hadn't taken a single bite. But thoughts of Harry Potter lingered in her mind, distracting her from her hunger.

The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur of numbers and equations, Celestia's mind drifting back to the time she had with Harry, her favourite part is when Harry buried his face in between her thighs, Celestia let out a loud giggle, causing Daphne to shot her a concerned look.
She couldn't wait for the day to end, to see him again, even if it was just for a fleeting moment.

After arithmancy, the slytherins left for the History of Magic class.

Finally, classes were over, and Celestia hurried back to the Slytherin common room. As she entered, she was met with a buzz of activity. Slytherins lounged around, some engaged in heated discussions, while others played games of wizard's chess.

In the Great Hall, Celestia sat among her fellow Slytherins at the dinner table, the low hum of conversation mingling with the clatter of plates and the occasional burst of laughter. The atmosphere was lively, but Celestia's mind was elsewhere.

As she picked at her food, trying to muster up an appetite, the conversation around her shifted to the topic of Harry Potter.

Pansy Parkinson, with a gleam of malice in her eyes, leaned in to share the latest gossip. "Celestia, did you hear about Potter?" she said, her voice barely concealing her satisfaction. "He had quite the row with Umbridge in her class today."

Celestia's ears pricked up at the mention of Harry's name, her heart pounding in her chest. "What happened?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Blaise Zabini, reclining in his chair with an air of casual indifference, shrugged dismissively. "No one knows for sure," he replied, taking a sip of pumpkin juice. "But rumor has it he challenged Umbridge's authority in front of the whole class. Now he has to serve detention for the rest of the week"
