On the bed, two naked figures could be seen sleeping together—a young blonde woman resting comfortably on the chest of a dark-haired young man. Her long, attractive legs stretched across the emerald green sheet.
A scent of lust and debauchery lingered in the air.
Daphne's long blonde hair was spread across Asterion's chest while her face rested on his shoulder with a serene, calm expression.
Suddenly, her long and beautiful eyelashes fluttered before opening, revealing a pair of royal blue eyes. Her gaze showed a hint of confusion, but soon clarity returned to her eyes.
Daphne looked up and saw her fiancé's face, sleeping defenselessly on the pillow. It was a sight she never tired of appreciating every time she woke up beside him. Seeing him so vulnerable only showed how comfortable he felt around her. This filled her heart with an indescribable sweetness.
Raising herself slightly, Daphne's hair cascaded over his chest as her nude figure was perfectly revealed.
Running her hand through her tousled hair, a smile appeared on Daphne's lips. Last night had been the best night of her life; it had been everything she had hoped for and much more.
Though losing her virginity hadn't been entirely pleasant, she would remember that pain for the rest of her life.
As for shame, she didn't feel any. She would do it again every day. She had no reason to be ashamed of something as natural as making love to her fiancé and future husband.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Daphne stretched her arms upward as her spine curved forward, emphasizing her hips, which pressed against the sheet.
But before she could get out of bed and head to the bathroom, a pair of hands wrapped around her slim waist, pulling her back into the warmth and comfort of the bed.
In an instant, Daphne found herself gazing into Asterion's red eyes. A smile traced his handsome lips, and the lipstick she had applied was smudged around both her mouth and Asterion's.
"What do you think you're doing?" Propping himself up against the headboard, Asterion asked, while Daphne's head rested on his abdomen. Without realizing it, his hands were tangled in her hair, which slipped easily through his fingers.
Narrowing her eyes comfortably, Daphne replied calmly, "Taking a bath."
"Weren't you going to invite me?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It was the first time I've ever seen you so relaxed; I didn't have the heart to wake you," Daphne answered calmly, stroking his abdomen.
Asterion blinked a few times at that, realizing that he probably hadn't been this relaxed in years. He hadn't stopped training, studying, or doing anything that could make him stronger or help with his plan. Last night had been the most relaxing night he'd had in years.
Looking at Daphne's nude figure, Asterion kissed her lips, and under a surprised gasp from his fiancée, he lifted her with his arms, standing on the bed.
"Let's take a bath together," he said, stepping off the bed and heading toward the bathroom. Daphne quickly recovered from the surprise of being suddenly swept up in his arms and smiled sensually. "Yes, my dear husband."
"You're playing with fire," Asterion remarked calmly, noticing her subtle movements.
"And what if I want to get burned?" Daphne laughed, replying with a teasing tone.
Asterion didn't respond and walked into the bathroom.
Moments later, muffled moans and loud, repeated sounds echoed from the bathroom.
- Rose, who was leaning against the window with a book in her hands and a dragon egg on her lap, turned the page and checked the information contained in the book written by Newt Scamander.
She had to admit, there were geniuses in every field you could imagine, and Newt Scamander was one of those geniuses. The man had cataloged and studied magical creatures to the extreme.
There were so many details that made Rose's eyes light up. From feeding habits, sleep patterns, and even mating seasons, the book explained everything clearly and in a way that was easy to learn.
With a book like this in hand, even a Muggle could take care of a dragon. Of course, the Muggle would probably end up as dragon food once the creature got bigger. Still, it was incredible to raise a dragon without magic!
This showed just how precious Scamander's books were. At this moment, in Hogwarts, you could say Newt Scamander's books were the most sought-after. Representatives from magical schools were willing to pay a hefty sum to read Scamander's works.
The book in her hands had been stolen from Dumbledore's office while the man wasn't present. On the cover, there was even Newt Scamander's autograph!
Suddenly, Rose wrinkled her nose and smelled a familiar scent—the same perfume Daphne always wore.
Lifting her head, she saw Daphne sit beside her on the windowsill, a proud smile on her face.
Rose raised an eyebrow, confused by the arrogance Daphne was displaying.
As if reading her thoughts, Daphne responded with a smile, "Last night, Asterion and I went all the way."
At that moment, Rose didn't need to hear anything else and knew the reason behind Daphne's pride. Snorting coldly, Rose suppressed the jealousy in her heart and acted indifferent to the fact that Daphne had become a woman before her. "So what? It's just sex."
Daphne wasn't surprised by Rose's seemingly indifferent expression; she knew how proud the girl was. "Well, it doesn't really matter. I took Asterion's first time, and he took mine."
Rose looked at Daphne with amusement. She didn't believe Daphne's words for a second. Don't get her wrong—she believed Daphne had lost her virginity to Asterion, but she didn't believe Asterion had lost his virginity to Daphne.
Why?
The answer was obvious—Asterion knew very well how to handle a girl. Rose didn't believe for a second that Asterion had remained a virgin with that kind of experience.
This was something you only learned after being in a relationship, something Asterion had definitely been in before.
And the main culprit for deflowering her cousin and future husband was obvious!
Narcissa Black, who, by the way, was also his cousin!
There was no other option besides the beautiful platinum-blonde woman. During Arcturus' funeral, she had noticed their closeness, the way Narcissa touched Asterion's arm, and other looks that were far too intimate for mere cousins.
Now that she thought about it, Rose couldn't help but notice that she too was Asterion's cousin, and they were going to get married. Wouldn't that make her as incestuous as their ancestors?
Was incest in their blood?
Rose shook her head, dismissing those dangerous thoughts.
Seeing that Rose showed no reaction to her words, Daphne's arrogance faded, as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on her. She couldn't help but feel disheartened. Taking Asterion's first time was the only thing she could be proud of in front of Rose, a Special Grade Witch.
"How was it?" Daphne snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing Rose's curious voice.
"Better than I could've imagined," Daphne said, her cheeks a little flushed as she remembered her boldness the previous night and what had happened in the bathroom.
Rose's eyes gleamed with curiosity.
[Author's Note: Unlike men, women talk about their sexual experiences with their friends—and believe me, they talk a lot. So, if you're dating and your girlfriend has a circle of friends, trust me, they know what you do in bed. Sorry to scare you with my words~]
"Details!" Rose said with a smile. She wanted information not just to satisfy her curiosity but also to outdo Daphne when it was her turn.
Remembering the pain she had felt, Daphne's face paled slightly—it had been a damn pain, like being cut open with a knife.
"It hurt a lot. My mother lied to me when she said it wouldn't be that painful," Daphne remarked, clearly dissatisfied with her mother's advice.
"Maybe she wasn't wrong; it could be different for different women," Rose said, comforting her future friend/sister... and wife?
Daphne nodded and began to tell her story with an excited expression.

Asterion stood in a separate room, gazing at the dragon egg placed in the center.
"Morgan," he murmured calmly, and a curtain of darkness appeared beside him. From it emerged Morgan, holding Baskerville in her arms.
Looking at her, Asterion nodded. He had wondered if the girl could stay in the Black Space, where all his cursed spirits spent most of their time, but surprisingly, she had managed it. According to her, it was a comfortable place, like a bed where everything remained silent.
Morgan looked at her master and, for the first time, grabbed his clothes. "Brother..."
Her voice was cold and entirely expressionless. There wasn't a hint of warmth or even tenderness in her tone. It was completely robotic, devoid of any emotion.
Asterion knew that Morgan had emotions, but they were too weak to provoke any reaction in her. If there was one stronger emotion he sensed from her, it was love.
Her love for him wasn't romantic or even parental; she simply loved him.
"Did you enjoy your rest?" Asterion asked, running his hand through her hair. There was a smile on his lips as he felt the soft touch of her hair.
Morgan responded like a cat enjoying the affection of its owner, narrowing her eyes in pleasure and nodding. "Good sleep," she said, her voice now tinged with a hint of comfort.
Baskerville, in her arms, barked and lifted his head, expecting the same treatment.
Asterion rolled his eyes and petted the Demonic Dog without hesitation. Baskerville was quite dissatisfied with not fulfilling the duty he was created for. He was designed to protect and lay down his life for his master, so how could he be content watching his master face danger without his protection?
"Morgan, I'll send you instructions on what to do with the dragon egg. Remember, focus and don't lose concentration." After giving his favorite dog some attention, Asterion looked at Morgan and spoke in a calm tone.
Yes, he had moved past his previous thoughts of being able to combine both species to create something more powerful. Honestly, if it were possible, the chances of him accomplishing something even more insane were highly likely.
Morgan silently gazed at Asterion and nodded. "Yes, brother."
Turning toward the dragon egg, Morgan processed Asterion's instructions in her mind in an instant and began calculating the variations, the creation process, and even how to destroy it if necessary.
"Analysis complete," she murmured, raising both arms toward the dragon egg.
With her words, flames manifested around the egg. They were crimson, almost alive, forming the most horrific shapes you could imagine.
The crimson flame, which had been no larger than a fist, expanded to a ten-meter radius in mere seconds, covering the entire room, including Asterion himself.
Morgan's control was so precise that, even amidst the flames, Asterion remained completely unharmed—not even his clothes were singed.
Morgan's eyes glowed as she began to intensify the heat. Surprisingly, the dragon egg started absorbing the flames at a slow pace, which gradually increased over time.
What should have been a natural process, where the dragon mother would take months to produce enough fire for her offspring to hatch, was accomplished in just thirty minutes.
Morgan didn't stop. She initiated the second phase, murmuring in a cold, emotionless tone, "Begin the infusion stage of Cursed DNA into the specimen's body."
The dragon egg began to float in the air as its shell was effortlessly removed with a mere thought from Morgan.
Asterion looked at the small dragon submerged in the egg's amniotic fluid. Occasionally, the little creature's body would move slightly, showing that it was alive.
Morgan's eyes fell on the hatchling as her hands moved, extracting all the amniotic fluid, though the dragon itself didn't seem to realize it had, in theory, already been born. It remained curled up, sleeping peacefully.
A wound opened on Morgan's wrist, and a drop of black blood floated in front of her before plunging into the dragon's body.
"Initiating the process of transmutation, transformation, and mutation..."
The poor hatchling was divided into numerous layers—scales, skin, muscles, blood, veins, brain, heart, and organs—all separated, layer by layer.
Incredibly, all of the organs continued functioning normally, indicating that the hatchling was still very much alive and healthy.
What followed defied the logic of the entire world. Morgan, playing the role of a god, manipulated everything and anything she wanted with a cold and calm expression.
Asterion stood beside her, observing everything. Before his eyes, two pentagrams rotated, analyzing and recording the important data. His eyes gleamed brighter with each of Morgan's actions, as he noticed flaws in his original design of her. But that was expected; after all, he was human, and Morgan was far from it.
In Morgan's eyes, the dragon hatchling's DNA chain began to disintegrate with the infusion of her blood, gradually collapsing. It wouldn't take long before the hatchling would either become an abomination, in the best-case scenario, or a mass of melted liquid in the worst.
It was as if the DNA had been exposed to radiation, breaking it apart without the ability to reassemble.
If she were Asterion, she wouldn't have been able to reverse this. But she wasn't her master.
With a swift movement of her hand, the DNA began to reorganize itself in the most optimal way possible. If a Muggle doctor were to see the hatchling's DNA, they would be astonished, for it was completely unlike anything else on Earth.
It resembled black chains twisting around each other, forming something extremely solid with an appearance of great hardness.
However, Morgan knew that this DNA only appeared strong, but was actually incredibly delicate. If she attempted another reorganization, everything would collapse at once, and not even she would be able to keep the hatchling alive.
For the first time since her creation, Morgan discovered her own flaws—she was incomplete, so incomplete that many essential parts of her were missing.
But for some reason, she found she wasn't bothered by these flaws. It was as if it was natural for her to be flawed, almost as if the laws of the universe willed it to be so.
Her master's God Creation Plan flashed through Morgan's mind...
"My master and brother will not be able to make me evolve into what he desires..."
This was Morgan's thought after reviewing the very plan she had been created for. However, she didn't voice her thoughts to her master and instead began reorganizing the God Creation Plan, prioritizing Asterion's safety and interests above all else.
Asterion was unaware of Morgan's thoughts, his eyes entirely focused on the dragon hatchling. Its appearance was different from a normal Hebridean Black.
Amidst the dark scales, red scales were particularly visible. A crown of immature red horns adorned its scaly head. Its red eyes resembled hot magma.
Honestly, it didn't look much like a modern dragon hatchling. If not for the lack of arms, Asterion might have mistaken it for an Ancient Dragon hatchling.
It appeared larger than Newt's books described—about twice the size, making it roughly twice as big as a domestic cat.
Asterion examined the hatchling closely, trying to find any flaws or signs of extreme irritation that he expected from the infusion of Morgan's blood.
But after observing for a while, the hatchling's temperament seemed to mirror Morgan's own calm demeanor.
"Good work." Turning to Morgan, Asterion didn't hesitate to praise her, and she silently nodded in response.
Yet Asterion noticed the slight curve of her lips, indicating she was somewhat pleased with the compliment.
