Characters: Roger Davies & Marietta Edgecombe, later Zacharias Smith
Setting: Marietta's flat, 8 November 2003, around 9pm
Rating: R, for adult themes & language
Summary: Marietta and Roger have some evening plans that might not go as well as they are expecting.

Marietta had left work for the rest of the day after Jayne Dough had carved 'bint' into her forehead. She had to go to St. Mungo's to get it removed and regardless of wearing a hat into the place, it didn't do her any good once she was there, seeing as the healers had to actually see it to fix it. She was fairly certain that they were laughing by the time she left, but obviously knew better than to do so to her face.

She was just glad that it was not permanent because the last thing she needed was a new scar on her face. She had enough trouble dealing with the ones she already had thanks to Granger and her little band of idiots. Luckily Marietta had found quite a wonderful way to ease all the tension from the day with one Roger Davies. Not something she had planned, really, but wonderful unexpected occurrence nonetheless. He had a way of making things interesting, not in the way that Zacharias did, but that idiot was still stewing from her so-called pregnancy and she was hoping to let him settle into that for as long as possible.

She didn't really have to do anything to tidy up her flat since it was always in order, but she did pull out some wine and pour herself a glass, cracking open a book as she waited for Roger to show. She didn't have an exact time but it wasn't as though there had to be a special time for this sort of thing.

Zacharias took out his wand to clear his clothes of any linger soot. Given the unexpected sight in front of him and his uncertainty of how to manage it, he needed something to fill the space. "Maybe you should change the locks if you don't want me showing up unannounced, although as the supposed father of the thing in your womb, I would say it's within my rights."

Even if the the thought still sicken him, Zacharias was good at turning things he hated about himself or his own insecurities into attacks directed at other people. And Marietta surely had it coming. The only inkling of guilt he might have felt right then was toward Roger. Having been cock-blocked far too often recently, he didn't want to inflict that upon another man. It surely had to violate the code or something. So, Roger was going to be a casualty.

"My apologies, Davies, but consider this a favor because judging by the get up," he motioned to lingerie more than the woman. "I doubt Marietta here remembered to tell you the safe word and I would guess that you don't have the sense to ask for one."

Alright, so Zacharias had already made some mention of Marietta blowing up, stretch marks, and they were not subtle hints. So after Zacharias' really blunt statement of being the father, it was even more clear what he was saying. Roger looked at Marietta suspiciously. "You're pregnant?" he asked. That would have been good information to know.

"I'll tell you in a minute if your apology is accepted," Roger said carefully, looking back over to Zach for a moment, as he placed his hands at a more neutral position at Marietta's waist.

Marietta rolled her eyes. This was ridiculous. Zacharias had nothing better to do than to ruin her night of shagging just because he was angry that he couldn't keep his dick in his pants? She wasn't going to let him have his fun with this, even if it meant some fallout that she hadn't planned on. Roger Davies may have been a nice shag, but if lying to him meant that she wouldn't be having him anymore for the time being, well, she would deal with that for now. "Well I can see that the men have made their own little penis pact here."

She removed herself from his lap and reseated herself next to him on the sofa, crossing her arms across her bare chest. "Not that it's technically any of your business, Roger, but yes, I am pregnant." She looked over at Zacharias. "Since you're so keen on telling people, Zacharias, I suppose this means you're ready to tell your family now?"

"First, I'd like proof that you actually are pregnant and that it's mine because given your apparent...inclinations who knows who the father could actually be." For whatever reason, Zacharias Smith was blessed with a clear head this evening. Unlike when she had told him just a few days ago, he knew what to expect and unless something new popped up, he felt as thought he might actually have the better hand. And really until he heard it from the healer he could deny, deny, deny like the best of them. It might not have been the most truthful option, but it was a means of survival.

"Then we can both have the pleasure of telling Elaina about her bastard half-blood grandchild." Scary as the thought of being a father was, there was momentary amusement as how much his mother would hate it. And then really how quickly Marietta would become Elaina's latest project. And if his denial happened to be true, well, then he was setting Marietta up to orchestrate a rather complicated lie.

"Although I suppose all of that can wait until Monday, because I really would have for Roger here to miss out on that special thing you do with your hips." Zacharias turned to address Roger then, his tone shifting only marginally because Roger was just caught in the crossfire. "And I would really suggest you set that safe word and a way to make sure she sticks to it."

So much for a simple shag. Roger was quickly realizing that he was caught up in a complicated mess, and when Marietta climbed of his lap, he groaned low in disappointed. "I didn't say I accepted his apology!" he said when he was accused of being in some pact. But really, Marietta being in his lap during this conversation was definitely awkward.

"Right... not any of my business," he said in a solemn tone. It was just a surprise that was all. He felt like he was intruding, though it was clear from the way Zacharias and Marietta were acting, they were definitely not together in a traditional sense.

Marietta laughed. "You've very little room to make judgements about my sexual habits, Zacharias. You shag more women than I'm sure you can even remember the names of. At least I have standards." She narrowed her eyes at him. "As far as I can remember, you rather enjoyed what I do with my hips, that's how we got in this mess to begin with."

The mood here was pretty much ruined, whether she had wanted it to be or not so even if Zacharias did leave it's not like Roger was going to still want to shag her. Not while thinking about her having been impregnated with demon spawn. She wasn't sure she'd be in the mood either. "Roger, I do apologise. I suppose I was rather careless not having warded against stupidity tonight, I just never imagined he'd show up. You might as well go at this point, seeing as Zacharias has ruined the night for everyone."

"Oh I never said I didn't like it." Despite whatever mess that might be in right now, Marietta had always been a good shag. Twisted in all the same ways he was, it was sort of perfect. "In fact, I would hate for anyone else to miss out on the experience." There was certainly nothing traditional about what thy had and Zacharias had no inclination to inch toward that.

"And if anyone ruined the night it would be you, love." He gave her a nice big shit eating grin. "I mean, not keeping up on your contraceptives is just irresponsible." By this point, he didn't really care how he came off to Roger. He could just be another person who thought he was an asshole, it was fine. Hell, it was expected. "So, please don't let me ruin anything further, and I'll just be on my way."

Unsure of why he had really come here in the first place, there wasn't much of a reason to stick around. Zacharias had done as much damage as he could in the short time he was here already. "But I'll set up an appointment with my family healer for this week." Straightening out his jacket, he crossed over the room toward the front door. He might have entered through the floo, but there was something a bit more fulfilling about being able to slam a door if it came to that. Unless someone called out to him, or otherwise stopped him, he would be out the door shortly thereafter. His job here complete.

Well, that was pretty much it for Roger. Marietta was clearly pissed (though not with him) and the night was ruined. Maybe if he was lucky, he could get to the pub and hook up before last call. "No apology needed," he told Marietta, and as he got up off the couch, he reached for her hand to kiss it lightly, before walking past Zacharias to the floo.

He did hear the rest of Zacharias and Marietta's conversation... and Roger was just glad he was getting out of there. One glance at Marietta told Roger that she was pissed. "Just so me a favour. Don't kill him, because I don't want to come back to arrest you," he said moving into the fireplace, and flooing back to the leaky cauldron.

Oh no, she wasn't going to let him get out of this situation on his own terms. She had had enough of Zacharias' smugness and that grin he had that meant he thought he was winning. She wasn't going to let that happen, not tonight. She barely acknowledged that Roger was getting up and leaving, but that was better because he didn't want to be around for this. "I can't make any promises," she called after him as he stepped into the fireplace.

There wasn't much nearby, but there was the half-empty wine glass she'd been drinking from earlier. She picked it up and chucked it at the back of Zacharias' head. She was no quidditch player, so the chances it would hit where she hoped it would were slim, but if it hit him anywhere she would be happy enough.

Maybe it was foolish to turn his back on Marietta, but maybe he liked living on the edge. And if asked, Zacharias would have trouble denying his masochistic tendencies. The wine glass hit him on the left shoulder just as he was going to open the door. It didn't shatter until it hit the ground behind him. It was only then that he looked back at her that smile not faltering. "No, you don't get to play tonight."

He gave her a little wave as he pulled open the door with his other hand and stepped out into the hallway. It hadn't been what he was expecting, but it certainly wasn't boring. No that things involving Marietta Edgecombe ever were.

"Zacharias Smith, get your arse back here!" Marietta screamed after him. She hadn't chased after him yet as she wasn't going to go running into the hallway in her undergarments, not to mention he wasn't exactly worth it.

She got up and moved toward her entryway so she could see him. "You don't storm my flat and ruin my night and just walk your bloody arse out! What the fuck did you even come here for in the first place?"

His wand was already out and ready to apparate away, when she called after him. Zacharias couldn't help but smile just a little because that's exactly what he was going to do. Maybe it was becoming a thing, but he was a wizard and damn if anyone would forget that. Besides, it was easy to flick his wand just so, sending a well-aimed slicing hexed toward her and that pretty little lace get up.

"Have a good night!" He called and with a pop and disapparated back out to the streets. His flat was still a good walk from here, but there were a number of pubs in the space between that might help pass the time. Although he would definitely make sure that Marietta Edgecombe was not on the always welcome list at his flat because being on the other end of revenge never was that sweet.

Marietta picked up her wand from the counter and slammed the door shut and locked it, fuming. If he wanted to play this game, she would certainly play it. All she needed was a few pieces in the right places and she'd be well on her way to getting that smug grin wiped off of Zacharias Smith's face, especially when she told him that she'd planned the whole bloody thing from the start.

Marietta picked up the wine glass that had been Roger's and downed the rest of the contents. At least her version of being pregnant meant that she could drink without having to worry about any weird deformities, not that she would really care if Zacharias' baby was deformed in any way—it could probably improve upon the little monstrosity.

The Smith family healer would not be too difficult to track down. She could probably just owl Adelle and tell her that she was looking to switch healers as her own was becoming too incompetent to deal with. Blackmailing was always one option and Marietta's personal favourite, but would take her longer to set up, so the easiest option for her to take would be the Imperius Curse. She would get the guaranteed results she needed when she and her father-to-be visited the family healer and she would have that prat right where he deserved to be.
