When: June 3rd, dinner

Roxanne bounced into the Great Hall, scanning the heads of the people eating dinner and shooting a grin to a few of her cousins before finally spotting her target. Good, she'd half been expecting him to still be at his desk, with some poor house elf serving him snacks. With all her considerable amount of determination, she marched between the tables, coming to a halt just behind Theodore Nott.

"I need to borrow you," she announced, as way of introduction. Without thinking, Roxanne reached down and grabbed Theo's hand, pulling him to his feet before dragging him unceremoniously out of the hall. "It's almost done," she said over her shoulder, all but skipping on the balls of her feet as she led them up staircases and through corridors (secret and normal) in the direction of her rooms. "I think we've cracked it. It was that ratchet wheel, just like you said. It wasn't oscillating properly or something. Anyway, it didn't seem right to fire her up without you."

Pushing her door open, Roxanne gestured to the rather impressive (she thought so, anyway) astrarium sitting on the centre workbench. It had to be said, it was very pleasing, with its gleaming bronze curves and interlocking wheels. In her mind, she compared it to a particularly elegant wand - the finished product certainly gave her the same rich feeling of satisfaction. Greater than the sum of it's parts, or whatever. Pleased, Roxanne crossed the room and snatched up the wheel from where she'd left it, holding it out to Theo. "Go on, then."

It was impulsive and Theo knew he had caught Roxanne off-guard, but honestly he thought, that was the fun of it wasn't it? With some questions you really didn't know the answer until you did. And once the shock of his actions had subsided he was met with lips that were soft and pliant, and although eager he was patient. He returned the kiss teasing with subtle quick flicks of his tongue. She tastes sweet he thought, smiling into the kiss as he felt her hands sliding round his neck.

At the sound of the word wait, Theo pulled back reluctantly. "Am I, what?" He said a little breathlessly. "I did say thirty-seventy, so I feel that does leave some leeway," he said resting his forehead against her own. His expression was light and bright and he couldn't help the smile that spread plainly across his lips. "It is fun, isn't it?" He said with his hand still pressed against the small of her back. He could feel the fabric of her shirt bunching up beneath his hand, and he brushed it aside. Theo let his hand rise under the fabric to glance along the soft, silken skin of her spine. Just the slightest of glances, just enough to send a chill and feel the raised lightly raising trail of gooseflesh in it's wake.

Theo drew quiet waiting and watching the posed serious expression on her fair face, and wondered what she was thinking. He imagined it wouldn't take too long to find out. "I could stop, if that's what you want."

It was fun, and with that smile, he obviously knew it. But it was hard to think of a decent retort with the way his hand was skimming the bare skin of her lower back. Instead Roxanne raised an eyebrow, her failed attempt at a serious expression cracking as a corner of her mouth twitched upward.

Roxanne was the first to admit she usually quite liked to be in control of stuff, and perhaps she ought to have seen this coming or, at least, acknowledged that it was a possibility. Looking back, that had been stupid. But it wasn't an unpleasant kind of surprise, even if a few more obvious warnings might have been appreciated. After all, Theodore Nott was very pleasant to look at. Plus he was smart and had nice hands which could build very beautiful machines, and once he relaxed a little, he made her laugh...

Well, let's just say there were much worse ways Roxanne could think of spending a Thursday night.

"Well, obviously not," she replied. After all, she was surpised, not stupid. Or dead. Rather than bother thinking up something clever to say, Roxanne tangled her fingers in the front of his shirt and lifted her face up to kiss him again, her body curving into his. It went on longer this time, deepening into a second and third kiss, her fingers eventually unclenching from Theo's shirt and drifting upwards to his neck and jaw.

He loved the way her seriousness broke apart and his green eyes met brown and searched for what she was thinking. It was a dizzying kind of excitement that filled him, that sent him reeling and when her expression cracked at the corner of her lips. Theo felt a slight hitch in his chest. Her hands at his shirt, pulling him close and the crush of her lips against his own and his mind went blank, save for the feeling of her skin beneath his hands and the slight gasp of satisfaction he felt, leaning into her petite feminine frame. His arms circled her, gathering her against him, and he spoke between kisses. "Your ridiculously short," he teased, leaning his face into the movement of her hands along his neck and jaw.

His hands firmly falling to her hips he hoisted her to wrap her legs round his waist. Not knowing what was going to happen when he acted on impulse, he hadn't realized how much he wanted more. Roxanne was complicated, if he was he was inclined to think. Which at the moment he was not. But lingering in the back of the further recesses of his mind, he thought she was beautiful, clever and talented and fun to be around. It was rare to find someone who held his interests and any measure of interest in him beyond the moment. But she did, and as he discovered she was a fantastic kisser, and he had wondered. Although he would be pressed to admit it.

He left a trail of soft kisses along her neck, his hand rising to meet the back of her neck and playing lightly in her hair. His other arm he used to hold her close, bracing her minimal weight as he began to slowly walk.

"I'm a bloody normal height, is all," she argued, although most of the words seemed to be swallowed pretty immediately by the mouth against hers. "You're the -"

But whatever remarkably clever thing she was about to say (and it would have been clever and Ravenclaw-like. Probably.) was cut off by a noise of faint surprise as she found herself suddenly lifted off her feet. Not that she minded; it would stop her getting a crick in her neck, for one thing. And for another... well, it was kind of hot. Roxanne felt herself smile against Theo's lips, her jean-clad legs wrapping around him as his mouth trailed down her neck in a very distracting way. She wasn't sure she even registered they were on the move until she was placed (plonked? Who knew? Or cared?) down on what turned out to be the workbench on the other side of the room.

"Ouch," she muttered, reaching down and pulling a self-smoothing chisel out from under her thigh, discarding it to one side before reaching for him again. Her hands skimmed around, deftly untucking his shirt at the back and sliding beneath the fabric.
