He wasn't nervous. Really.

Fidgety, maybe, but not nervous. Knox had gone to bed last night, and while he'd fallen asleep just fine he found himself awake long before he had to be. That was when he started feeling a bit restless. After a while he'd given up on sleep, gotten dressed and headed over to the Astronomy Tower, where he was meeting Flow, early. It wasn't that he didn't think their plan would work, or that it was worth it, because he knew it would work and it was worth it; this was something he was definitely looking forward to. The thing was, Knox actually liked Flow, and he hadn't really cared all that much when it came to another person for a while. He didn't get swept up like this too often.

This was a prank, but it was also date. Their first date, and Knox wanted to do it right.

He was in his uniform, shirt sleeves rolled up about halfway up his forearms, sitting by a window. The scarf Flow had given him was loosely hanging around his neck. There was a cigarette hanging from his mouth, glowing orange at the end and occasionally dropping bits of ash; one hand was tracing shapes in the fog on the window, allowing him to get a better look outside. The bright, white snow was still covering the grounds despite the disturbance from the snowball fight. Knox smiled at the thought, imagining how it would look next to the castle's new colors. Then he imagined everyone's faces at what they were going to do, and some of the anxiousness disappeared.

This was going to be awesome.

Flow was early too, and, although wild horses couldn't have dragged it out of her, it was for much the same reasons. She'd woken up at three in the morning, and not been able to get back to sleep. She'd made an effort to look like she'd just crawled out of bed anyway, though; she was still wearing her worn old flannel pyjamas, her wand sticking out of the pocket, and her hair was a mess. Her bare feet padded on the stone floors, and she sneaked around to right behind him before she spoke.

"Hey, Mongoose," she said, with a grin, leaning back against the wall. "Wasn't expecting you to have dragged yourself out of bed this soon. Not ill, are you?" She flopped down next to him, reaching out a hand for his cigarette. "Gi's a drag of that?"

She was kind of surprised - pleasantly surprised - to see the scarf around his neck. Even if it was going to turn rainbow soon. She tried to keep any surprise off her face, though, running her hand back through her hair and looking out of the window. "Think the snow'll change colours too?"

Knox had gotten caught up in his thoughts and hadn't heard Flow approach him. When she finally greeted him, he turned around a bit more suddenly than he wouldn't liked to admit but smiled when he saw who it was. He gave her a quick once over, incredibly amused that she was still in her pyjamas.

"Morning, Lioness," He replied, relaxing a bit more into his spot. "I could say the same to you." Knox took a small drag from the cigarette before grabbing it and holding it out to Flow. He shrugged slightly, the hand that had held the cigarette now reaching down to tug at a loose thread on the cuff on his slacks. "You look nice, by the way." A chuckle emitted from the Slytherin, paired with his usual smirk.

At mention of the snow, Knox glanced back out the window. "Only if we want it to, I'd say. Depends on how far we want the charm to go."

	"You fuck off," Knox replied, furrowing his brow. "And I'm not talking to you like you're a kid, I'm talking to you like you're a person. It might be news to you, but I can, in fact, be empathetic." He huffed slightly, but started walking again. "Yeah, I'm coming." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, that's news." It didn't have a whole lot of bite to it, which made it sound pretty flat, but she cracked something like a smile anyway. "Thought empathy was something they trained out of you as soon as the Hat made its pick." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Knox snorted, shaking his head. "Nah, mostly the Hat makes it pick because you already lack empathy. Society does the trick, or tries, with all the stupid gatherings and what's 'proper' bullshit. 'Least that's how I see it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Glad I never had all that shit." The tension was still there, pulling the tendons of her neck up stark against the skin, but now it could be ignored. "I mean, they give it a go in school - Muggle school, anyway - but you can walk out've that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
