VICTORIA, IF YOU PLEASE. (victputnam) wrote in tng_hogwarts,

WHO: Victoria and Alex
WHAT: Sillyness!
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: Kitchen

Rating? PG-13? Hehe. We'll see!

After her conversation with Alex via journals, Victoria made quick work of collecting two bottles from her stash of butter beer and slipping out of the dorms without catching a lot of attention. Most of the students in the Commons probably thought she was going out on an impromtu round of the hallways of Hogwarts, but such was not the case tonight!

She skirted through the hallways and cut corners rather quickly until she finally came upon the kitchen and slipped within its doors. Within seconds, she was shrugging out of her robes due to the heat. This left her in her pajamas, a pair of gray cotton drawstring shorts and a matching gray tee shirt. Blonde hair was restrained loosely in a ponytail. She smiled to the house elf that skirted by her in the dimly lit kitchen, then hopped to sit up on one of the counters while she waited for Alex.

The door was sure to open at any moment!

Alex stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom of the dorm, trying to look like he wasn't trying too hard. He didn't know why Victoria was making him so nervous lately. They'd just been talking and it wasn't like they hadn't been friends for a while. He ran a hand through his dirty blond hair and sighed. The tank top was too much. He wasn't exactly one of the more built blokes in school. In fact his figure was almost girlish.

He walked back into his dorm room and grabbed a fitted old black tee shirt and threw it on with a pair of old blue soccer shorts. Sock and trainers, because he was not walking on those cold stone floors barefoot, and off he went down to the kitchens. He tickled the pear in the painting and the door swung open.

Alex grinned as the smells of the kitchen made their way to his nose. He hummed the tune he'd managed to write for Victoria on his guitar the previous evening and walked into the kitchen his blue eyes scanning the room for her. Spotting her he walked over making a point in his mind to focus on her face and not check out the rest of her. It would likely just make him nervous enough to spout out the fact that the span of your arms from fingertip to finger tip was the same as your height. Sometimes he hated being a Ravenclaw. "Hey Victoria," he smiled and leaned a hip against the counter next to her.

Vic matched Alex's silly grin when she caught sight of the shaggy haired Ravenclaw and bounced her heels rather girlishly off of the cupboard doors when he approached. This only served to irritate one of the Elves, who skirted away from the pair mumbling something about delinquents. They were hardly such, though! After all, Alex was having problems focusing and Victoria was offering motivation... in the form of skipping the studies he may have been attempting to focus on? Somewhere, in that little head of hers, it made complete sense!

"Heyyyy!" She greeted him enthusiastically, and thrust a hand holding one of the bottles of butterbeer out towards him. "Its not very frosty, but you could probably raid for ice. Oh, and while you're doing that," since she'd already decided he was going to go raid for ice, "you should see if they have any of those fantastic no bake cookies from dinner left over! I'm already trying to lose a few, but on account of how delicious those were, I could stand to gain ten pounds!"

Alex laughed as he watched the little elf walk off and shook his head. "I can never decide if they want us to hear them or not." He took the butterbeer from her and was about to pop the cap when he took her not so subtle hint to go get ice and other goodies. Alex shook his head and poked her in the side playfully. "I'm pretty sure you don't need to lose anything."

He pushed off the counter and walked into the large freezer in search of ice. He summoned a few mugs and scooped up some ice. Alex grinned when he spotted some ice cream. He pulled a couple of tins out and then noticed those cookies Victoria wanted on his way out. He was juggling everything rather precariously in his arms, the chill of it all against his chest making gooseflesh appear on his arms.

"Alright, milady. I have procured the goodies," he said with a triumphant smile.

Victoria giggled, then cut herself short when she realized she was giggling like a giddy little girl. Now why had she done that? She didn't have much time to contemplate such things, because Alex had chosen to poke her in the side, so she swatted his hand playfully, then covered the spot that he'd poked with her hand.

When he was away snagging snacks... Victoria found herself blushing a bit. But, why?! She was just in the kitchen with Alex, goofing off! She'd goofed off with the boy before, of course it had never been alone... and he'd sure grown up a lot over the summer... did she have a... nah, couldn't be!

"Ohh, you win at life." She exclaimed when he returned, the pinkness of her face hidden in the dim light of the kitchen. She relieved his arms of the cookies, and one of the mugs, which she plopped on the counter, then she caught sight of his arms.

"Are you turning into a goose or something, Alex?!"

Alex was thankful for his naturally rosy complexion as he ridiculously felt like he'd slayed a dragon for all of Victoria's excitement over something so simple. He felt the heat rise in his cheeks as she took the cookies and the mug.

"A goose?" He looked at her a puzzled a moment and then laughed. "You try walking through there in a tee shirt and shorts and see how warm you are," he grinned and shook his head, his hair falling a bit in his eyes. He popped open his bottle of butterbeer after putting the other items on the counter and poured some into the frosty glass. He took a long drink, closing his eyes and smiled. "Mmm," he sighed happily.

"I got some ice cream." He held up the tins. "You want some? If you're going for the splurge, might as well go all out," he teased.

Hey, it was exciting that he wasn't telling her to just go get it herself! Cody probably would have! She, too, popped the top from her butterbeer and poured the liquid into the frosty glass.

"Newsflash, Alex! I am in a tee shirt and shorts!" She hid her grin behind the butterbeer mug as she took a sip, then set it down next to her on the counter once again. That hit the spot!

"Ice cream! Do you got plans for me or something Alex? Fattening me up for your Christmas ham or something? Gonna serve your family a little Putnam?" This was all said while she snagged one of the tins, of course, then popped it open. "Score! Chocolate! My favorite!" She dipped a finger into it then licked it off. Spoons were overrated.

"Yeah, but you didn't walk in there," he smirked and pinched her leg playfully. Alex looked down at the counter and drank some more of his butterbeer. He really had to stop touching her.

Alex laughed at her commentary. That was one of the reasons he liked hanging out with her. She had slightly off kilter sense of humour and he never knew what might fly out of her mouth next.

He raised a brow as she took a taste with her finger, consciously not looking at her mouth. "You know I do believe they have spoons around here. If you don't know how to use one I can teach you." He grinned at her and looked through some of the drawers where she was sitting. Alex finally found a couple and pulled them out. He held one in front of her. "This is a spoon. It's a handy utensil for eating frozen confections." Alex raised a brow and smirked, waiting to see if she'd take it.

Victoria yelped, and twitched when Alex pinched her leg. "Ohh bugger off you!" She hissed, and swatted playfully at his hand.

Meanwhile, while Alex was hinting at proper dining etiquette lessons for Victoria, she simply dug her forefinger into the chocolate ice cream again and brought her winnings to her mouth. After she precariously (as well as teasingly) sucked her finger clean of the ice cream, Vic snatched one of the spoons from Alex's hand, licked it, and stuck it to her nose.

"Don't complicate my gorging, Alex!"

He laughed when she swatted at him and pointed his finger at her. "I'll get you good before the night's out, Putnam," he joked.

Alex dipped his own spoon into his tin of ice cream and paused with the spoon midway to his mouth. Jeez, was she doing that on purpose? His eyes were drawn to her mouth and the way she was sucking the ice cream off her finger. He coughed slightly when he realized how stupid he must look and finished taking a bite. The cold treat certainly helped cool down the flush his cheeks took on.

He laughed distracted thankfully by her comment. "Hey, I'm not trying to complicate things. It's just a more practical method unless you want to freeze the tip of your finger off." Alex shrugged and took another bite. "Or you could just use one of those cookies to scoop some out?" He thought for a moment. "That's what this ice cream is missing. Chocolate bits or marshmallows or something."

A cookie? "A cookie! Brill, Alex! If Hogwarts had cooking classes, you'd totally get an OWL in it."

That said, Victoria snatched up a cookie then dunked it down into the tin of ice cream. A second or so later she had the delicious treat up and out of the tin, and crammed about half of that cookie in her mouth. It really was a wonder she didn't weigh a ton with how she ate!
