Lavender Brown didn't seem like a flirt. Of course, back in school she had been, but everyone had grown up and changed. Mac was surprised she'd said yes to his offer of a drink and Dueling Club talk.

And yet, here he was at 5 of seven, settling into a seat at the bar at Finnigan's, waiting to see what buying her a drink (or two) might get him. He'd even closed up the shop an hour early to go upstairs and change into a relaxed t-shirt and jeans. He'd known of Lavender in school - she was younger, but in Gryffindor, and from what he'd heard she'd had her share of crushes. When he'd first seen her running the Dueling Club he'd found it hard to reconcile the memory of a silly little girl with hearts in her eyes for the Weasley with the woman so in charge and seemingly carefree.

He ordered himself a simple pint of stout and glanced - practiced, nonchalant - around the room to see if she'd arrived yet.

"No, not every day, but watching Quidditch doesn't usually get to the top of my list of priorities on my days off. Which is a pity." She bit her lip. It was a tempting offer, actually. Part of her wanted to see if he'd actually be able to get the tickets, while the other part wondered what a day out with Cormac McLaggen might be like.

"Deal. Just... tell me what sort of sweet things you like."

	Cormac nearly groaned at her answer - he could think of dozens of sweet things that he liked that she had. Not one to shy away from an even vague invitation, though, he answered, "Your lips look quite sweet, actually," and he shorted the space between them by to about a centimeter, keeping his eyes on her gaze.

Lavender gasped softly, very aware of his closeness. She could smell the scent of his skin and feel a warmth that had very little to do with the wine she'd drunk.

"Well, you're not backwards in coming forwards, are you?" she murmured, the edges of her lips turned up in a small smile. It only took her a second to make a decision, eyes shutting as she closed that gap between them and pressed her lips to his.

When he didn't see but felt her lips quirk up in the smallest of smiles, he knew she'd decided and when her small, full lips came against his his smile grew as well for just a moment. Then he was kissing her and a hand came to rest at her chin, cupping her face and giving his fingers a chance to tangle in her hair lightly.

Pulling back he searched her face with a smile, "I quite like talking charms work," he joked.

As she kissed him back, her hand came to rest on his knee to stop herself from leaning too far forward. In truth, she was a little disappointed when he pulled back. Kissing was an excellent pastime, after all, one she didn't indulge in nearly as much as she would like.

"It has its moments," she teased with a playful wrinkle of her nose. "You're very... insightful."

"Insightful, you say?" He leaned into her again, less hesitant and his hand came to rest on top of hers on his knee. His other hand resumed playing with her hair and he kissed her again, his tongue darting out just slightly - they were at the bar after all - to lick at her bottom lip.

He made a humming noise in his throat, "I knew your lips were sweet," he said against her mouth before resuming the kiss.

	"Mm hm." Lavender managed a slight nod before Mac kissed her again. The feel of his fingers toying gently with her hair was strangely comforting, a pleasant contrast to the thrill of his warm lips on hers. She chuckled softly in the back of her throat, this time tracing her tongue along his lip in return. "Not bad yourself," she murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, I can be very sweet," he murmured. His face coming up just an inch or so he added, "Spicy though, I can also be spicy. And salty. And really anything else you like," he laughed. He leaned down and kissed her lightly, playfully on her collar bone. "Come now," he said, straightening up and taking a drink of his beer, "another glass of wine for the lady."

It was hard to keep a straight face when he was saying things like that. "Yeah?" she asked, giving up on suppressing her smile. "I like a bit of spice."

Her breath caught as he kissed her collarbone and her mind raced with a dozen apologies for the scars that were so close to his mouth before she sharply reminded herself that she had nothing to apologise for, bringing herself back into the moment. He looked just a little flushed, which she couldn't help but like.

"Yes," she agreed. "Another glass of wine." She reached up to removed a smudge of her lipstick from the edge of his mouth. "And maybe we can find a table somewhere a little quieter?"

Cormac smiled when her fingers touched his face, even if they were taking evidence of her kiss off of him. "Somewhere quieter it is, then? Do you prefer the Corner? Or perhaps my rooftop?" Lavender didn't seem the sort you just sort of... made a pass at. She was a bit too dangerous for that - Mac had avoided women in Law Enforcement for that reason exactly - but was gorgeous and seemed to be in a playful mood tonight.
