Current mood: | bored |
LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY cowardlysnake)
Who: Draco and Sylvie
When: Mid-afternoon, Sunday 14th January
Where: Some random corridor
Why: Because Sylvie's hot stuff, and Draco should realise that ;)
I hate doing Prefect rounds on a weekend. Here's a secret: I hate doing Prefect rounds full stop. It was fun for the first few weeks, but now it's extremely boring. I can take points at any time; I don't need to patrol the corridors looking out for students breaking the rules. Snape would say being a Prefect brings out one's sense of duty, but it doesn't. Besides, we both know he only made me a Prefect because of my father.
Although I have to say, I am the best candidate for the post.
I pause at a window, and rest my elbows on the sill. I can see the front lawns, and right in the middle of them the Umbridge snowman that those second years built this morning. I'd never admit it, but it is amusing. If I run into those second years I suppose I should take points, but I don't know who they are. Apart from Fawcett's sister, of course. Maybe I should give her a detention; that would annoy Fawcett.

Meanwhile, I am blessed with not being a Prefect (hahaha, oh mon Dieu, that would have been a sign on Dumbledore becoming senile if I'd been chosen), so I get to spend my weekends being a NINJA! Okay, not really, but I did corner Creevey the elder and wrangled his camera from him so I could go take a picture of my sister's masterpiece. Of course, he'll have to develop the picture, and he'd probably take a better one, but she's my sister, you know. Coming down the corridor, camera in tow, I spot a blond Slytherin head staring out the window, likely looking at Annette's snowman from the direction the window is facing. "I honestly think they have a great future ahead of them," I say slyly as I start to pass Malfoy. |

I turn around and raise my eyebrows. "Who do?" I try and sound bored instead of ignorant; luckily this isn't hard. After all, this is me. I do a bored drawl to perfection. I look Sylvie up and down, hoping I'll be able to take points for something, but unfortunately nothing comes to mind. Well, it's not like I really wanted to take points anyway, but one must maintain one's reputation. Uphold Prefectly duty. All that rot. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

"This year's second years. Duh." He's probably not that interested, but I can reply anyway. In my opinion, he's getting a good view with his once over (which, could he be more obvious?). I look pretty cute today in a form fitting black jumper and dark jeans, my coat tossed over the arm holding the camera to put on once I get outside. If he's going to feast his eyes, I'm going to do the same thing. He's most definitely not the fittest bloke in the school, and he's a bit pointy, but he's not bad. And he's a challenge, which adds to the appeal. "Enjoying yourself?" I can't help but add. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

Once over? Obvious? I was merely checking for untucked shirts, that kind of thing. ... Although she does look good, I have to admit. I feel myself flush when she asks me if I'm enjoying myself. It's the curse of having Nordic colouring, and the knowledge that I've gone red makes me angry. "Prefect rounds are so boring," I reply, "that I have to find amusement in some form." It's hardly the wittiest thing I could have come up with, but I feel disconcerted. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

I wonder how far that blush extends? Body language says a lot, and I'm good at using mine to my advantage to send out signals. "Well that's a tragedy," I say, closing the gap between us and leaning on the wall next to him, brushing him with my arm as I do so, "Being so bored and all. Surely there's something that can be done about that." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

Okay, she's definitely invading my personal space now. I take a step sideways, away from her. Up close she smells like chocolate and it's making me light-headed. I tell myself that smelling like chocolate is cheap and tacky, and that any decent girl would wear an expensive perfume, but I can't help breathing in a little deeper. "There are lots of things that could be done about it," I tell her, "but I think boredom is just something that must be... endured. On rounds, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

That's sort of the point. I give a little inward sigh as he moves away, but it's to be expected, really. He wouldn't be a challenge if things just fell into my lap. So I just continue to lean against the wall and look at him as he gives his boredom spiel. "See, I think one should never resign oneself to boredom," I reply, "Especially during dead rounds. I mean, if there were a lot of trouble makers out and about it would be one thing, yeah? But why suffer when the castle is quiet and you could be doing something more...interesting?"

I glance around, but the corridor we're in is utterly deserted. I'm supposed to be doing rounds with Goldstein, but he's off patrolling another area of the castle since he doesn't like going round with me. I can't imagine why. Anyway, it suits me since I can take points for minor offences without him frowning and threatening to report me to Snape. And though I don't want to admit it, there is another reason why I'm glad he's not around right now. I fold my arms and lean against the wall like Fawcett's doing. "Do I look like I'm suffering?" I ask. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

"Not as much as you did before I showed up," I reply coyly. I've also noted how deserted the corridor is, which really, is the only reason I've started anything. I'm not sure someone like Mo would appreciate that he's a challenge, "Looking out at snowmen? Please. "But," I add, "You do look like you could be having more fun." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

Nevermind MacDougal, I'm worried about what will happen if Pansy finds out about this. My life would probably not be worth living. Then again, it's not as if Pansy and I are anything "official"... I give Sylvie a well-practised smirk. "And there's that massive ego again. Terribly unbecoming." I check my watch; I should do another half-hour of Prefect duty, but what's the point when there's clearly no one around? Then again, I dislike the way Sylvie chases after guys, and she is a half-blood. "I suppose I could be up for some fun," I say slowly. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

See, yeah, I don't give a fig about Parkinson. Mo's my friend, though, so I care about what she thinks. And I'll let the remark about my ego slide. This time. Because he's agreeing. Yeah, it's rather tentatively, so I'm not going to push him any farther than he chooses, but...I most definitely plan on leaving him wanting more (as well as completely forgetting I'm a half-blood for the time being so that he can ruminate over it later). "Brilliant," is my reply, a smile curving onto my face. |
