Who: Dru & OPEN (tempting, isn't it?)
When: Chilly Tuesday night
What: Drury is indulging in a rather frightening novel and it's getting to her head.
Where: The veggie patch
Rating: TBA. Dru is naughty unpredictable, what can I say?



Drury hated herself right now, for a plethora of undoubtedly logical reasons. First, she hadn't dressed properly. It was unseasonably cold tonight, a factor she hadn't anticipated, and rather than wear, oh I don't know, something appropriate, the seventh year had rooted through her bureau and pulled on an old Beauty and the Beast bathrobe. The terry cloth was worn through in some spots, the shoulders tight and the hem barely brushed past her thighs but today she felt the indescribable urge to wear it. Only problem was: she had nothing on underneath.
The second reason had to do with the fact that Dru found herself plowing through the pages of a horror story, a habit she had believed she'd gone rigidly cold turkey. Truthfully, the idea compelled her; myths of fear and anguish, fictions about psychopathic killers and their poor victims, it was interesting! Unfortunately, the nightmares that usually proceeded from these fright-filled tomes: not so great...

Dru shuddered, but this time not from the frigid, cabbage tainted air. Her dark eyes combed over the flimsy paper, held fast by a thick, leather bound spine. Don't go into the closet. She thought frantically, losing herself in the book. Don't go into the closet.
Inevitably, the character did, and just as Drury was about to flip the page to discover her fate, she heard a muffled sound in the distance. As if on cue, her pulse sped, her heart pounding wildly. All these tales are getting to my head, she thought quickly, attempting to push her anxiety aside, although rumors had spread all though Hogwarts that some weren't just fantasy. Suddenly, the noise gave way to a figure, and Dru grabbed her book, lunging at the person, a scream fresh in her throat.

The Short Round impersonation earned a relatively loud bout of laughter from Nox, never once letting go of her nevertheless because the thought simply never occurred to him. "Stay behind me, Short Round. Step where I step, and don't touch anything," he replied, grinning. Indiana Jones impersonations weren't quite as much fun so he didn't bother to try to mimic Harrison Ford's voice -- there was nothing distinct about it, anyway -- but he figured the quote would suffice. Hell, he and Dru could go into quoting battles if they felt like it, considering their mutual interest in what common muggles would probably view as basically the lamest thing since ... they killed Jesus, or whatever.

His attention switched over to the discarded book before he could reply to her comment about saving him instead, and her haphazard reply would have been acceptable had her response not faltered with an ill-timed 'erm.' Quirking an eyebrow towards her, he detached himself from her grip, teasing, "What, you read?" Meanwhile, he crawled over to the book, picking it up and making his way back over to her to plop down beside her, examining what she'd been reading.

"...Wait." He flipped through the pages a few times, scanning their contents before looking over to Drury with raised eyebrows. "A horror novel? Is THIS why you damn-near killed me? You were freaking out over a HORROR NOVEL?" He paused for a moment in awe of such a discovery -- the knowledge that Dru, Dru of all people, could be so easily influenced by a stupid book ... and then after a moment of silence, he promptly doubled over with laughter. "Seriously?! What the hell, D?!"

Biting her lip, Dru was thrust into a medley of girlish giggles, recognizing the famed Indiana Jones quote almost instantly. "Stop," She snorted, tears forming around the edges of her heavily kohl ringed eyes. "You're killin' me, Indie!" It was true, her sides were throbbing in pain by the time she was able to cease laughter. She sighed, her breathing labored; a goofy grin plastered to her livid face.

However, all traces of humor were erased from her features when Nox detached himself from her grasp, retrieving her regrettable novel and returning to plop heartily beside her, his eyes combing over the thick cover and flimsy pages beneath. Dru's mouth gaped open, dread sweeping over her, and before she could come up with a decent, plausible excuse, Nox had pegged down what really happened. Sheesh, sometimes she could swear he knew her down to an exact science. No, perhaps it was the damn "erm," that did her in. Drury'd dug her own grave. Now she'd have to lie in it.

"No, that is NOT the reason I damn-near killed you!" She sputtered, possessing a certain ferocity that all but eliminated the embarassment she felt brewing beneath the pristine surface. Dru hastily seized back the book, resting it in the crook of her arm, a scowl finding purchase on her mouth. She resisted the urge to stick out her tongue like a five year old. "And I wasn't freakin' out over a shitty HORROR NOVEL, okay?" She fumbled in her worn, terry cloth pockets for a second, then glanced up at Nox and added -- as if it would excuse her -- "I've just had a little too much to drink."

Okay, that was a lie. Truth was, Drury hadn't touched a single drop of alcohol that night, as hard as it was to believe, but it seemed like the intelligent thing to say, and definitely the simplest to explain. Her thin fingers finally clutched what she'd been searching for, and she swiftly fished a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket, feeling unimaginable relief as she lit it with a cheap, gas station lighter and allowed the smoke entrance to her mouth.
