Who? Lavender and Kevin
When? Tuesday evening
Where? Lavender's flat
What? Kevin comes over to Lavender's place as she is sad
Rating? TBD

Lavender had arrived home from work and immediately changed out of her work clothes and into a pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. Hardly flattering, but she had not really intended to do anything that evening. Her brain scattered all over the place, she'd forgotten that she'd asked Kevin to come by. The thought never even crossed her mind. So, she peered at the door with a curious expression when she heard a knock. Walking across her flat, she opened the door and had to think about why he would be standing there. "Hi... oh, Merlin... I asked you to come over... I'm sorry... I..." she was babbling and gesturing toward her flat (dishes in the sink from the previous week, magazines scattered on the coffee table and the surrounding carpet, a few scattered shoes and such making a path to her bedroom) - Lavender was a messy person, but it had been the week from hell. "Come in?" she offered.

	"I thought about you a lot, too." Kevin was being honest. She'd seemed so wild when he'd met her, not he knew there was something strong and something fragile in her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The truth was that she'd thought the same thing about him - but the thing was that she was already enjoying this other side of him. "Thank you for coming over here tonight..." she told him. "I missed you and I wanted to write to you but... I thought you would think I was silly and clingly or a stalker or something," she admitted, laughing a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'd just think you were sad we'd missed our date this weekend." He was glad she hadn't moved away. Kevin liked having his arms around her. She felt small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I was," she admitted. Lavender curled up close to him as they rested back on the couch. If she had known that he would hold her like this, she would have written to him when she was falling apart during her mother's funeral. But, he was here now and didn't seem like he minded where they were. "Can we try again?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Another date?" Kevin nodded. "Yeah." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-05 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, another date," she smiled. Lavender rested her hand on his chest, her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for staying... even though you now have to give me your shirt," she smiled up at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin had something he wanted to say. Rather, he needed to say. One of the things he'd been thinking about all weekend was something he thought was only fair to tell her before they got in too deep. "I should tell you something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender lifted her head off of his shoulder, brushing her hair back from her face. "Ummm... OK," she said, feeling a knot in her stomach. Lavender didn't do serious conversations with guys - normally they were one-night stands, or the occasional repeat night... this was different, this was special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Everything else, about his family, that could wait. This was important because for some people it was a deal breaker. Only his band and his two best friends knew this. "During the war, when I was on the run, one of the snatchers who came after us was Fenrir Greyback. We were fighting them off so the women and children could get away first, and I didn't know who he was. I punched him in the teeth." He showed her his hand, with a white bite scar over his knuckles."

"I- uh, I'm not really a werewolf... but..."

	Lavender's heart was racing and she couldn't believe what he was telling her. Her ears were ringing and for a moment she thought her eyes were deceiving her. Reaching for his hand she traced her thumb over his knuckles, tears in her eyes all over again. "You're a Half-Moon," she breathed, her voice catching in her throat.

	Oh, shit. She was crying. Kevin felt his throat tighten up, "Yeah. Sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No... no..." Lavender shook her head. "It's just..." She'd never shown any man her scar - her family knew what she was, but they'd never seen it. Lavender turned away from him and grabbed the hem of her shirt, pulling it up her back to expose her shoulders. There in the soft skin at her shoulder blade was her own white scar resembling the shape of teeth marks. "I'm one, too..."

	How did he not see this when she was naked? Right, he was more distracted by other parts. Kevin ran his fingers across her scar. His eyes wandered down her smooth back and up again to the scar. "When? Which werewolf?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She closed her eyes when she felt his fingers on her skin. No one had ever touched her there - she didn't allow it. Sex was mechanical for Lavender - man on top, no way for anyone to see the scar. "Battle of Hogwarts," she told him. "Greyback where there, too. He attacked me and knocked me down. I screamed, trying to throw him off of me but... he was too strong, I was face down and I couldn't get to my wand... he started to bite me... his teeth tearing..." she voice caught in her throat again. "Hermione Granger hexed him and I got to my feet and ran..."

	"You're lucky to be alive." He kept his hand on her back, his finger tracing the scar. That explained a lot about that night for both of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, well Professor Trelawney threw a crystal ball at him - he would have caught me if she hadn't done that," she said. Lavender's eyes fluttered at his gentle touches. "No... no one's ever seen it... besides Madame Pomfrey..." she confessed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Did she patch you up after the battle?" Kevin's hands wandered, seemingly of their own volition, down her back. he'd stopped paying attention to what he was doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-05 04:07 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, her head dropping forward. Her breathing was a little shallow and her skin tingled at his touch. "What... what happened to you?" she asked. Lavender reached for his hand that lingered on her back. She pulled it around her as she leaned back closer to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Donaghan patched me up. Bandaged my hand, gave me his gloves. He told me it was better not to let the people at the camp know what had happened or they might not want me with them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She ran her fingers over his knuckles, bringing his hand to her lips as she gently kissed the scar. "I'm sorry," she said softly. Lavender laced her fingers with his, rubbing her thumb back and forth over the scar. So much about their night together made sense now... full moon, for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin tipped her chin up with his index finger and pressed a slow, gentle kiss to her lips. It was such a relief to share this with someone. She knew what it felt like to be in this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-05 04:20 am UTC (link)
	Lavender tipped her head back, laying back in his arms as he kissed her. Her eyelids fluttered and she sighed softly, sinking back into his embrace as she returned the kiss. Pulling back, she smiled softly. "So... about what happened between us... backwards and whatnot," she smiled, "makes a lot of sense..." She stroked his cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah. It does." But it didn't subtract from the fact that he loved kissing her. "Are we supposed to stay away from each other on the full moon?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She gave him a look. "Umm..." Is that what he wanted. "I mean, I suppose... do we have to?" she asked softly. "Do you want to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even now, at least a week away, just the thought of it made Kevin feel a little hot. "We don't have to," he said, blushing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
