ARSHI OS : Harry Potter Style! (16+)

It was one of those lazy days in professor Homer bagelberry's class where everyone seemed to be doing their own thing while the poor professor kept on droning over the latest new spells which apparently no one was taking any notice of; except off course the current head girl and Arnav's arch nemesis Khushi Gupta'

The damn muggle born Gryffindor who had always shared a hate-hate relationship with Arnav, was busy taking down the notes diligently, while her two sad little friends, Aakash and NK sat beside her, as always copying from her notebook while she so generously helped them out Pathetic!'

"Arnie baby! What are you doing later? How about I come over to yours? It's been so long since we've spent some time together. Especially ever since you have become the head boy and moved in with that witch!" Sheetal said as she moved closer to Arnav on the bench while he tried to make some space between them, now a days Sheetal had become too clingy for comfort

"I did not move in with her Sheetal, as head girl, she has to share the dorm with me. And anyways, you know you are not allowed into my room; you'll be jinxed before you even attempt the password" he said as he turned away from her frowning face while his best friend Aman leaned over his desk from behind to whisper in Arnav's ears "How can you live with such a hot chick and not do anything?" he teased as Arnav shrugged him off his shoulders

"That's just plain disgusting! How can you even put hot' and Gupta' in the same sentence Aman?" he said with a horrified face as Aman chuckled behind him "Ok then buddy, how about you get me in her good books? I'd love to know her better" he said jokingly as Arnav turned around in anger "Shut up Aman! If you hadn't noticed, she has two morons mooning behind her since the last 6 years. What makes you think she will even think about you? And as it is, what's so special about her?" he said nonchalantly as he turned back to observe her

He noticed her giggling at something that NK had said, her gorgeous alabaster skin glowing pink, while her pouty lips let out a lilting laugh...he remembered the way her hazel eyes always twinkled while her perfect body gave him sleepless nights, especially since the day he had mistakenly walked into the shared bathroom while she had stood wrapped up in a thin towel; Molding her young curvy body sinfully

She had thrown a huge tantrum that day and had accused him of opening the closed bathroom door with a spell, which he had not, but she just wouldn't listen...but then what could one expect! Things had always been bad between them; She the perfect Gryffindor princess while he the dark Slytherin prince

Even though it had been ages since the great battle had taken place and Hogwarts was now a place of peace and harmony, there still was an underlying superiority Gryffindor carried, since it was the great Potter's house...while Slytherin was still considered a bit of a darker one, all thanks to that vile wizard

There were no biases anymore, but things between Arnav and Khushi had been sour since their first year in Hogwarts. Arnav came from a very rich generations old wizarding family, while Khushi was muggle born...He could not really remember the day when they declared an all out hate war between them, but his earliest recollection was the constant competition they had between them

Both excelled in academics and while Khushi was a teacher's pet, Arnav was the golden boy; He had a kind of natural flair in his magic and practice while Khushi was a perfectionist and would not leave any stone unturned to get the perfect score...they had always competed everywhere and had developed a dislike for each other right from the start...they did not have any common friends between them and kept far away from each other always

But things changed when they both reached their final year; due to their perfect scores and popularity with the masses, they were elected head boy and head girl and had to move into the same dorm room recently...the joy of being elected was short lived as they realized the close proximity they had to stay in and somehow that thought had left an unsettling feeling in their stomach along with a kind of nervous flutter they both could not understand

Arnav was not blind to notice the obvious beauty of his fellow counterpart, but since he had convinced himself of his hate for her, he did not leave a single moment of taunting her and irritating her while she too gave him back by making his life hell, thus making them sworn enemies of each other in the public's eye

Everyone thought that one of these days they would either find Arnav or Khushi's corpse as one of them might just AK* the other...but that never happened. Both of them had made sure that there was minimum contact between them in the dorm and even though they shared the living room and bathroom, their rooms were kept tightly shut and locked...and in Khushi's case jinxed!

***

"Lets go K! Class dismissed" Aakash said as the bell rang and everyone got up to leave. Khushi turned around to speak to her friend when her eyes collided with Arnav's as he adjusted his green robes. She stared at him for a second before quickly averting her eyes and leaving the class with NK and Aakash as soon as she could

It had started again, that weird beating of her heart and that odd feeling in her stomach every time she saw him. She felt dizzy as they climbed down the moving staircases to reach the great hall where the dinner was being served. She could not wait to get back to her room and lock herself in as always; and then sit on her bed and imagine him outside in the living room either reading or just lazing about

Yes, that is what she had been doing since the past few weeks! Ever since they had moved into the new dorm. She hated him right? So why did seeing his stuff around, or smelling his lingering cologne had started making her crave to see him always?

The day when he had walked into the bathroom in just his boxer shorts, she had all but fainted at the perfectly chiseled male body on display but due to the mortification of him seeing her in that state, she had screamed her head off and then run away to her room to catch her breath

She could feel the tension between them getting thicker as days went by and now a days it had gotten worse with her body reacting in completely horrid ways to him being near her. Like she just could not explain the sudden excitement in her stomach as he came near her or the times when they passed by each other in their dorm, the fleeting glances they shared and the newly formed awkwardness...especially since the bathroom incident

She felt like something between them has shifted, changed somehow and yet everything was the same. They still avoided each other, competed wherever they could but the usual taunting that Arnav used to do had gone down and the proudness with which Khushi sued to prance around him too had more of less vanished

She sighed as she finished the rest of her food and said good nights to her friends. Poor souls had the hot's for her since long, especially NK but she just did not feel anything for him, and especially not the flutter and excitement that she felt with that one person she should not be feeling anything for!

As she exited the great hall and stepped into the living quarters of the school, she came face to face with Prof Xenobia, their defense against the dark arts teacher and one of her favorites "Oh Khushi! Thank God I met you here. Listen dear, can you please keep this flask safe with you and bring it over to class tomorrow? I have to go to Hogsmead urgently right now and won't be able to take this to my quarters right now" she said as she carefully gave the glass flask covered in ruby red velvet to Khushi

"Sure Professor, but what is it? If I might ask" Khushi said as the professor held her robes to rush out "Oh, its Veritaspore, so be careful not to open it and inhale any, otherwise you'll be speaking out all our darkest secrets!" she said with a smile as Khushi raised her eyebrows and waved a good bye to her

Veritaspore was a very potent potion used for getting criminals to speak the truth; since it could be discreetly administered via the invisible fumes it gave out it was the hot favorite as it was much easier than getting someone to drink Veritaserum; it helped the Aurors mostly in trapping the bad guys by casting a spell to repel the fumes from their own noses while the person meant for inhaled it

She walked very slowly to her dorm and spoke her password before placing the velvet bag on the bookshelf in the living room. Her room was currently a mess and it would not do to misplace it somewhere. Besides even Arnav did not touch her books in the living room, so this was a safe bet

***

Khushi was just finishing her shower as she heard a loud knock on the bathroom door. She pursed her lips as she realized it must be Arnav, but why was he being so persistent? She quickly put on her nightclothes of a worn out loose t-shirt and white cotton shorts before giving a quick rub to her wet hair. When he still kept knocking she threw the towel in anger and strode to the door before pulling it open

"What? Why are you trying to knock the door down Raizada!" She said as she stood in front of him with her arms crossed while he stared at her with an odd look in his eyes. She could feel his chocolate irises turning dark and was scared for a second as he leaned towards her, diminishing whatever space was there between them

"Khushi.." he said in a hoarse voice as his eyes travelled the length of her body making her very aware of his body heat as he hovered near her. Her breath got stuck as he walked further towards her and put his hands on the door frame of the bathroom, trapping her at the entrance as he leaned more towards her and smelled her freshly washed hair, making goose bumps erupt on her dewy skin

He said her name? She has never heard him call her by her name before. Something was not right! She observed him as he tried to come more close to her, when she pushed him away slightly and came out of the bathroom. She turned around to question his odd behavior, when she found him struggling with something as he closed his eyes and took deep breaths

"Dammit! What is happening to me!" he said in a muted voice as he once again opened his eyes and looked at her with something akin to hunger. Khushi's eyes widened at the blatant way in which he more or less devoured her with his eyes as he once again took deep breaths to calm himself "I'm not sure why I can't control my mouth, but I need to tell you that I find you very attractive and I really like you...in fact I think you are the most beautiful girl ever and I...I...shit...stop Arnav..." he said as Khushi stared at him wide-eyed at his confession, totally confused at the about turn he just did

"Aah! What did you do to me? Why can't I control my tongue!" he said as he came forward and grabbed her by her arms. She opened her mouth to say something when she felt his finger caress her lips slowly as if they were something too precious to even touch "Your lips...Khushi...your lips are...I just...I want to kiss you and...and keep kissing you...and I want to do so much more...so much more that its driving me nuts! I can't sleep at night thinking about you...about kissing you...being with you...touching you...having you...in my arms..." he said as if he was forcing himself to speak; and that's when it clicked

"Arnav! You inhaled the Veritaspore!" she exclaimed as her deduction did not even register with him "You said my name...Khushi, say my name again...please. I can't tell you how much it turns me on, how much you turn me on" he said as he pulled her much more closer to himself and tightly held her in his arms, imprisoning her tiny body with his

"Arnav...listen...I..." Khushi started saying when she felt his hot lips on the exposed part of her neck and shoulder where her t-shirt had slid down slightly. She let out a soft moan as he continued to kiss her and nip at her delicate skin while she tried to feebly push him away. But the sensations running through her body were so strong that she had no sense left in her as she let her hands travel to his shoulder and hold him tightly by his muscled body

"Khushi...you are soo hot...I can't get enough of you...I...I really like you...and I can't control myself anymore" he said before he snaked a hand around her delicate neck and pulled her face closer for a hot smoldering kiss. His lips pressed to her parted ones as she forgot to breath for a second before her hands too wound themselves snugly around his neck. She moaned loudly as his tongue teased her, making its way into her sweet mouth

She let him kiss her senseless as she kissed him back fervently, her hands pulling his hair while her body came alive with the sensuous attack on her system. She felt his hands sliding below to the hem of her t-shirt as he pulled the thing off quickly before pushing her to the nearby wall...Khushi went mad with passion as he palmed her perfect lace covered breasts while she clung to him in wild abandon. She wound her legs around his waist as her hands went to pull off his cardigan, leaving his upper body bare for her hands to roam

"Ummm...Arnav..." She moaned further as he ground his lower aroused half into her. She arched into him as he nipped along her cleavage to reach her straining peaks, her cry of ecstasy ringing loud in the dorm room as Arnav made his way into his room to lay her down on the bed. Their bodies perfectly attuned to each other as the anticipation ran rampant within them

Arnav smiled at her tenderly as he cupped her face to kiss her while Khushi closed her eyes; but the kiss never came and Khushi felt him fall flat on her half naked body as if he had passed out "Arnav? Arnav?...wake up" she said as panic set in before the basic knowledge of Veritaspore came to her head. The victim usually falls into a deep sleep after half an hour of inhaling the fumes. So obviously Arnav too had slept, right after he got her so excited!

She gently got up from his bed and corrected his sheets before covering him with the duvet. She gave a last look at his sleeping form before leaving his room and walking to hers dejectedly. What had she been thinking? She knew that she had feelings for him and also had a tiny smidgen of doubt that he did too, but they were too different and whatever happened tonight was because he was under influence. Come tomorrow, he will get back to being his snarky self and she would once again keep her true feelings under wraps and pretend all this did not happen

She knew from her textbooks that the victims never remembered anything after inhaling the fumes and Arnav too would not remember their hot encounter or all the things he had confessed to her. Feeling an abject sadness creep into her being, she plopped down on her bed in the same state she was in and fell asleep, albeit uneasily

***

Khushi got up at her usual time as her body was attuned to waking up at 7am, but today something was different. She could not move...why? She tried to turn around but felt like something heavy was on top of her. When she sleepily opened her eyes, she was shocked to see a tanned, muscled arm holding her body tightly which constricted her movement.

She turned around and was about to scream when she felt the very alert eyes of Arnav Singh Raizada staring at her...full of amusement and something else "Good morning Khushi! I was wondering when you'll be up" he said in a husky voice that brought out all the memories of the previous night to her mind, but what was he doing here? Did he remember?

"What are you doing in my bed Raizada?" Khushi asked him bewildered and then looked down to see her nearly naked body as she pulled her sheets to cover herself "Are you serious? Raizada? After all the times you moaned out my name last night you are still stuck on calling me Raizada?" he asked her in amusement as her eyes went wide

"I remember Khushi, each and every thing that happened between us. Apparently Veritaspore does not erase those memories" he said with a wicked glint in his eyes as Khushi made an attempt to flee in her shyness but Arnav held her down and leaned his body over her as she pushed herself further into the soft mattress, trying to look anywhere but at him, her cheeks blooming with a very becoming red color

"So you can blush too! But I liked your bold self last night" he said as he lightly kissed her on her jaw while she closed her eyes "I told you everything last night Khushi. All the secrets I have held back all this time...now its your turn...tell me Khushi...tell me you want this...tell me that you want me" he said as he laid tiny kisses along her jawline to her ears as Khushi smiled shyly

"I like you too Arnav... I really like you" she moaned out the last words as his hands travelled to uncharted regions of her highly sensitive body as he grinned from ear to ear, making him look like a little boy "Well then...what are we waiting for girlfriend? Can I kiss you? Officially and without the influence of anything?" he asked her as he waited for her to answer while she smiled a genuinely happy smile making her eyes twinkle "Oh yes, boyfriend" she said as he did not waste a second and swooped down to take her lips in a passionate kiss, while she wound her arms tightly around his neck and kissed him back, the room now reverberating with soft sighs and moans as two magical souls finally found each other.
