Summary: Hannah comes to sit for Dean

Dean had found himself rushing through his usual Saturday activities as quickly as he could. His shopping had been done, he'd made a vague attempt at tidying the flat and he'd even stuck laundry in. By the time it was almost time for Hannah to arrive he'd been at the studio for an hour setting up chairs and backcloths and a mattress and setting up enough prepared materials for himself as well.

He'd also ducked into the little kitchen area and made sure there was tea, coffee and cake sitting ready for when they took a break. Now he was mostly just slightly anxious about how this would workout. He'd never worked with anyone brand new to modelling like this before, and never properly directed someone completely on his own. The fact it was someone he knew made it a little strange, but it wasn't as if he knew Hannah especially well, so it didn't matter so much.

Of course she was nervous. It was to be expected since a)Hannah had never modeled before; b)she was modeling for a male friend; and c)she was trembling as she walked to the address Dean had given her.

You are a strong, capable, successful witch she reminded herself as she approached the door. She brought a dressing gown with her along with her knitting things. Hannah figured during one of the breaks she could knit to calm her nerves. Raising her hand the door in order to knock, her whole arm shook.

"Hannah, Dean is a professional. He will not laugh or tell you you are ugly. You will be fine!" After she scolded herself, she knocked.

"Hello? Dean?"

Dean jumped at the knock on the door, but managed not to create a huge smudge on the pastel picture he'd picked up to calm his nerves once he was finished setting up.

He crossed quickly towards the door and smiled as he opened it and found Hannah. She did look slightly nervous, but that wasn't really very surprising, she wasn't a professional after all.

"Hi Hannah, come on in. You found it okay?" he asked. He knew it was out of the main wizarding areas, but he'd never had any particular problems, but being brought up in London as a Muggle did have its advantages there.

When she saw Dean smile, Hannah smiled back. "I only took one wrong turn, but figured it out quickly," she said, stepping into the flat. In order to giver her hands something to do, she gripped the bag she brought with her in a death grip.

"So, Hi! How are you?" Hannah asked nervously. Remember this is Dean. He's a friend! Relax. "I brought a dressing gown as you requested."

He nodded, some of the streets did tend to look the same, and if you couldn't spot a sign it was easy to get it wrong. "I'm glad you didn't have too much trouble, we're not exactly on the main path out here."

He closed the door behind her, trying to ignore the slight upswing in the speed of his heart. Nerves. he told himself.

"I'm good thanks, been here a while preparing. Let me show you around," he offered. He nodded at her mention of the dressing gown. "Great, that seemed easiest. You can use it between sessions to feel more comfortable," he explained.

"Look I know this is a bit odd, but please believe me when I say the fact you'll be disrobed really doesn't factor in. After the first few minutes I just don't see it." He was aiming for reassuring, but he wasn't sure he made it. "If you think you'll feel uncomfortable we can always owl someone to chaperone if you like."

"It's all right," she said in response to Dean's comment about being off the beaten path. Hannah nodded when he offered to show her around. Her head was looking around.

When he said that he wouldn't even see her nudity, she didn't know what to make of it. Does that mean he won't see me at all? Then what would be the point of a model? Even more confused than before, Hannah shook her head. "No. No. A chaperone won't be necessary. I'm likely to be more nervous with someone else here than I already am."

Chuckling nervously, she said, "Maybe we should get started. I promise not to flee in terror."

"Okay," Dean agreed. A chaperone would have been a little over the top, but he thought he should offer, just in case. "If you get too uncomfortable, either in the pose or being naked, just let me know and we can stop and have a break."

"But first, you can get undressed behind the screen there," he said, pointing to a corner of the studio which was marked off, a small stool behind it. "Put your dressing gown on when you're ready and I'll explain exactly what I need you to do." He gave her a small smile and politely turned away to adjust some of his collection of materials.

Hearing say they could take a break if she got to uncomfortable did make Hannah feel a little better about the whole thing. It seemed, at least to her, that she needed to remind herself that even though Dean was a friend, he was the artist and she was there to help him with work.

Yes, Hannah. Think of this in a professional setting. Who cares that you will be naked one voice said, while another one said to her that it was her friend Dean that would be seeing her naked. Merlin, I hope I don't have stretchmarks or very hairy legs.

The brief moment of calmness was quickly squashed as Hannah self-consciously began to think of her body and if it was presentable enough for him. "Thank you," she said before turning to hide behind the dressing screen. She had two robes, but one was plain cotton and old and worn; not something Hannah thought would be suitable for public eyes.

After pulling her dressing gown out, Hannah stripped out of her trousers and jumper quickly. Her hands shook as she removed her bra and knickers, folding each piece of clothing before tucking them into her bag.

Wrapping the robe around herself, she tied the sash tightly around her middle. Hannah had to force her hands to her side, so she wouldn't grip the slightly open neck of the garment. She stepped out from behind the screen.

"Umm...where would you like me to...ummm sit?"

Dean glanced up again as Hannah reemerged, smiling at her, in what he hoped was a calming manner.

"Well, I think perhaps sitting or lying would be more comfortable for you to start with, so why don't we start with sitting," he said thoughtfully, gesturing towards the small stool. It didn't look padded but it had a cushioning charm on it, to make it a tiny bit more comfortable.

"I don't mind your pose though, so if you find something you think you'll be able to keep for a few minutes, still apart from breathing, blinking and involuntary twitches, that sort of thing," he explained. "You can do that with your robe on or off, whichever you feel more comfortable with, then just let me know when you're ready."

He picked up the drawing pad on his own stool and flicked his wand at the wireless in the corner. "If if makes you want to move I can turn it off again later," he mentioned, sitting himself down, making sure he wasn't staring at her, trying to stay as strictly professional as possible.

She nodded as she crossed over to the stool; Dean's smile and soothing voice helped her stop trembling as crossed the room. Hannah took several deep breaths before sitting.

The wooden seat was comfortable, but she shifted four or five times before she sat with her back straight and her legs crossed at the knees. She shifted one last time, so that she was sitting more profile to him. Fiddling with the tie on the robe, Hannah thought about what he said about keeping the robe on.

"I think I'll leave the robe on to start with, if that's all right?" She did adjust the robe to show off her thigh. In all her movement, the collar opened wider as well. Settled, she folded her hands in her lap then dropped them down to her side followed by crossing them over her chest.

"What do I do with my hands?" Hannah asked, looking over her left shoulder at Dean for some guidance.
