Yet another roll call, it made Polly extremely uncomfortable and in turn hostile. She had to cover up her fear of death and these attacks with something; it was lies and a bitchy attitude. Once more Polly was lying to herself telling herself she didn’t need to worried and things were going to be just fine in the end. She kept lying to herself and telling herself that the Aurors were here to protect them. So far they were doing a crappy job, just as the professors were. Polly had an uneasy day in Potions, which was saying a lot. She had nearly spoiled her potion but she had managed to save it. Polly’s mind was elsewhere, but when asked she just snapped back that she was fine and for people to stop asking. Polly claimed to be just a little tired; poor sleep from the night before.

Finally her class was done for the day, only Study Hall at the end of the day to break up her freedom. Study hall was a waste of her precious time, she did not want to sit and be forced to study but she supposed some people needed the encouragement. With NEWTs around the corner she perhaps should start using her time more wisely, but why would she do that? Polly much preferred to spend her time reading or bothering other people. Polly had gossip to keep up with.

Polly decided that fresh air was a must at this current moment in time. The stink of potions lingered in her nose and on her clothing; she needed out of the dank dungeons and into the fresh air. With some papers clutched in her arms and her bag resting on her shoulder she b-lined it out of class. She didn’t talk to anyone as she passed only muttering a few unkind words at someone in her way. Did people not acknowledge their surroundings anymore? “Move it space case,” she spat out angrily as one of the rare younger years crossed her path. All she needed now was to take one of Polly’s clumsy falls and the moment would be perfect.

Her tell tale fall did not occur until she was out the main door and tripping down the front steps letting her papers go flying. Skirt flipped up she was sure and knees scrapped. Her papers now fluttering elsewhere, at least it wasn’t raining. “Bollocks and fucking Merlin.” She yelled as she tried to right herself but slipping in the process.

"Clearly, it's not that difficult," he reminded her about the whole spiel about being in the right place at the right time. Nox was perfectly aware that he was a shameless flirt, but he didn't understand why some (most) people regarded that as a bad thing. Didn't it just mean that he liked people and he was friendly? Whatever. Girls did have a knack for sending mixed signals, after all, and in Nox's mindset, that was just so obviously what Polly was doing -- playing hard to get, and whatnot. Wasn't she the one that had the rumor passing around about how she lied constantly? Who knows, Nox didn't bother much to keep up with all of the school gossip unless it involved him.

"I think I'm sweeping you off your feet, obviously. Didn't I make that perfectly clear?" he replied with the best matter-of-fact tone he could muster. Just for the principle of the matter, he stayed put on the step, allowing her to continue on with her small rant. As she demanded to be put down, however, he only strengthened his hold on her, assuring her without words that he had absolutely no intentions of returning her to the ground any time soon. "I don't think so. You're my source of entertainment for the day, so I have to make sure I keep you around."

While she proceeded to comment about the v-card bit, he only raised an eyebrow to match hers, quipping, "I'd be kind of surprised if you don't, considering how you react to everything, but hey -- I was just telling a story, not trying to imply that you have one." However, at her threat about dropping him, he gave her a teasing smirk before letting his arms drop for less than a second before he caught her once again, having the significant effect of allowing her to drop about an inch before he raised her back to the initial height. "Just relax, shit. I'm not gonna drop you."

“Maybe it isn’t that difficult but that is the only show you are going to get.” Polly just hoped she didn’t have a reason to eat her words later. Polly was not playing hard to get, she was just being and would prefer not to be flirted with but she was having a hard time really putting up the fight to stop it. It appeared no matter what she did Nox was going to continue in the fashion he wanted to continue and there was nothing she could do about it.

“Me your source of entertainment? What happened to the many other people that walk these halls we call a school?” What made her so particularly special at this moment in time? Was it because she flashed her knickers accidentally? Was it because she resisted his advances, or was it purely due to the fact she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? Polly would put her money on the latter if she had to bet anything.

Surprised that she didn’t? What was she that much of a prude? “Well then I guess I do a good job of keeping my life private now don’t I.” Truth be told Polly had only kissed a boy and that was once, she had never even had a boyfriend not that she couldn’t blame the male population on that. Polly was not exactly friendly and she didn’t go out of her way to change who she was just to get some boy.

Polly screamed as she felt herself drop a bit, she couldn’t stop the scream from slipping out of her mouth. “How dare you!?” She screeched at him but in her anger she had wrapped and arm around his shoulders for fear of him doing that again. “You really do have a set of balls don’t you.” Polly said with a roll of her eyes and looked away from up and up at the sky. “So since you aren’t putting me down where are we going and what are we doing?” Pausing she looked back to him. “I do have a right to know.”

"Oh really? How do you know that I can't see them right now?" Actually, he couldn't, and even if he could, since it was relatively probable in their current positions, he wasn't really looking. Of course, he wouldn't let her know that much information because it would stop any reaction he could stir out of her. Make her regret sounding so self-assured that she wouldn't flash him some other time, and all.

"Well, most of my closest friends are busy doing something boring, so I guess I'll have to settle for you for now. Honestly, you should be honored that you get to spend so much time in my presence or whatever." Not that he was entirely serious about that; he didn't really have such a high and mighty image of himself as he pretended to. There were simply certain things that were expected of him, and Nox was the type to live up to his reputation -- hell, he wasn't even this bad of a flirt until people started essentially telling him that he was.

As she shrieked, he returned to that confident smirk, reminding her, "That's what you get for doubting me, little girl. And calm down, I'll tell you where we're going once I figure it out," while he located a decent place for them to relax -- a fairly secluded area near the lake, which Nox was quite certain was the same setting that the school's gossip monger had accused him of spending 'quality time' with Simon in. "We're here," he told her bluntly, placing her down on the ground especially slowly just for emphasis.

In a matter of maybe thirty seconds, he sat down on the ground against a tree, pulled out the regular stash of weed, rolled it into a joint, lit up, and took a long draft before offering it over to Polly. "You smoke?"

Could he actually see her knickers? Polly did not want him seeing her knickers but unfortunately in this current position she couldn’t do anything about it. Even if he could see them she wouldn’t be able to change that and she couldn’t even see if he was telling the truth or not. “I am quite sure you cannot see my knickers, despite how much you want too.” Whether she believed it or not was not the issue here but she had to save face.

“Honoured?” She raised her eyebrow at him as she adjusted her hold on his shoulder. “I think you should be honoured your spending time with me.” Polly smirked as she spoke actually joking on the matter. Nox was turning out to be a fantastic distraction and it was just what she needed. Her focus on him as walked to their destination, which she had begun to accept was not up to her.

Polly felt him put her down and she was quite pleased to be on the ground, but he had definitely done it much slower than necessary. If the ground had been a bed it would have been slightly sensual and romantic, but Polly was not going to let her mind go that way. When settled on the ground she put her bag to the side and moved to lean her back against the tree settling next to Nox.

She turned her attention to him as he rolled a joint and she watched him carefully. “Yeah I do,” she said as she took it from his hand. After long inhale she held it back over to him blowing the smoke out slowly. Maybe hanging out with Nox was not a bad thing.

"Honored to spend my time with you?" he snorted, although he was entirely aware that she was kidding, "Listen, lady, I hate to break it to you, but people actually like being around me. Therefore, my time is a little more valuable." He assumed she wouldn't take the comment particularly offensively if he didn't mean it offensively, which he made evident through the light manner of his voice. "But you could just relax for once. I'm really not such a bad guy."

As she returned the joint to his eager grasp, he took a second long inhale, closing his eyes as he did so, inhaling sharply once he felt his mouth and throat were full to lead into a coughing fit. While some regular smokers would tease the 'newbies' who coughed, Nox did just the contrary: he believed you might as well inhale as much as possible to ensure coughing because it got you high faster. After a second drag, he followed the regular puff-puff-pass rule, handing it back over to Polly as he exhaled steadily.

"So," he began, looking over to her, "I saw Lysander when he was all ... you know," he confessed. It wasn't something he made a habit of telling people -- in fact, he didn't think anyone knew outside of the others that were there last night and his dormmate and best friend, who had to deal with his lack of sleep. But as the effects of the smoke made their course throughout his body and he could feel his eyes beginning to gloss over, it was easier to admit the things that were bothering him -- even to total strangers.

“Actually like you! Wow.” Polly chuckled a bit joking completely just as he had been light hearted in the dig he made at her. Polly knew she was not a favourite here at Hogwarts, not everyone liked her and quite truthfully she liked that. Polly was not out to be friends with everyone, she had enough to suit her and she was quite happy with them. “I am relaxed and I know you are not such a bad guy.” She flashed him a quick smile before letting it vanish from her lips.

Polly watched him as he inhaled the smoke and even winced a bit as he coughed no doubt taking in as much smoke as he could. Her attention was easily distracted to his lips as it went around the joint and her eyes followed the flow to his fingers as he held the joint between them. It was then that she noticed he was holding it out to her now.

She placed it between her own lips and inhaled deeply, as she was breathing out the smoke she coughed hard, not because of the smoke but because of what Nox said. “You saw him,” she said looking up at him with a bit of stunned look. “I don’t know what I would have done.” She felt her lower lip tremble as she said that, she hated that her lower lip did that when she said truths that she didn’t want to admit. She wished she could have just said nothing at all, or said something more to keep the focus on him. “How you holding up?” She asked him as she held the joint out to him. “Is that what I’m here for a bit of distraction from recent events?” An unintentional giggle escaped her lips which inspired another one, “Sorry I’m not laughing at you.”
