! log, 1998-march, character: gwendolyn montgomery, x-character: gabe ollivander

Who: Gwendolyn and Gabe
What: Cute-off
When: Sunday, 08 March
Where: Hogwarts owlery
Status: Open

Gwendolyn couldn't help herself, really. Gabe was generally quite adorable and she did like to tease him so very much so when they'd gotten on the odd topic of just how adorable he was in comparison to her owl, she couldn't really help herself but drag it out as much as she possibly could. After all, he was one of the few people who actually paid attention to her in this school and she did love attention.

Having agreed to meet with Gabe shortly after dinner, she headed back to her room briefly, just to touch up and make sure that she looked great. Heading out of the Slytherin common room and through the dungeons, Gwendolyn started the rather long trek through the castle and up to the owlery.

"Ivy?" Gwendolyn called up toward the various perches, scanning them before holding her hand out for her owl to come and fly down toward her.

Gabe had as laid back sense of humour as he did a personality. The fact that Gwen had called him cute had automatically brought to mind the Owls up in the owlery. Gabe's vanity was not over his looks, but in his knowledge, so when she insisted Gabe pushed back. The common occurrence of Gwen trying to make Gabe blush, and succeeding, dragged on throughout the years at Hogwarts. Attractive people interacted with him on a daily basis but few teased him as Gwen did.

A Ural owl with pale, buffish grey-brown plumage and streaks of dark brown that gave the bird a spotted look, sat upon Gabe's shoulder as he walked down the steps to where Gwen was. He had been sending a letter to his mother and spending some time away from the bickering over the Quidditch game. (They lost because they could not play as a bloody team.)

"I assume she'll be down shortly, I think I saw her having a snack." Gabe smiled. Blue eyes looked over Gwen and then quickly glanced away. This had been a terrible decision.

"Gabe!" Gwendolyn said, smiling brightly as her eyes landed on her friend. He looked great, of course, but she hadn't actually expected him to be up the owlery already. Stepping up to him, she moved in to greet him with air kisses.

"How are you?" She asked before reaching up to stroke the head of the owl perched on his should. Glancing back up at the perches she nodded. "I'm sure you're right. She'll come down when she wants." Gwen smiled a little as she looked back at Gabe. "For such a tiny owl my Ivy has a big attitude. I can't imagine where she gets it from." Gwen said with a laugh.

The cool temperatures were not helped by the wetness of the weather. Gabe was dressed in his school uniform with his scarf wrapped tightly around his neck. A blush, that could have been mistaken for the weather, crossed his cheeks at her excitement over seeing him. Gwen was so out-going that he was never sure what to do with himself. He always had Astoria to be outgoing for him in the past.

"I am well. I was sending my parents a letter and figured before I sent Apostal off I would give him some treats." The owl purred as Gwen stroked his feathers and leaned into her hand. Sometimes the bird could be worse than a cat in its ways.

Gabe smiled back. "Ah, a question that I don't think will ever be answered," he teased.

Gwendolyn was trying very hard not to keep looking at Gabe, but it was really was rather hard, she did love to see the effect she had on him. Stepping back a little once she'd greeted him, her eyes swept up and down him, much as they did any time she greeted her friends, taking in every last bit about their appearance. Nodding slight in approval, more of subconscious move on her part, Gwen smiled again.

"I'm sure Apostal approves, don't you, love?" Gwendolyn said with a another smile, this time aimed at the creature beneath her fingertips. She did rather like owls, and cats for that matter, they understood her, in a way.

"I am sure that is a question that deserves no real answer." Gwendolyn returned with a cheeky wink just as she noticed the familiar figure of her schreech owl flying down toward her. "Hello, darling." She said soothingly holding her hand out for Ivy.

Blue eyes watched as the small owl flew down to Gwen. When he had learned that muggles used small note pads for quick messages he referred to the smaller owls as post-it notes. He did not fully understand the idea behind the muggle device, but he thought it was funny as a child. Though pureblood, Gabe had interacts with all sorts coming and going from the Ollivander's wand shop. Muggleborns had a tendency to talk of strange things like post-its.

"She went throw that treat quickly." Apostal leaned against Gabe's head, snuggling into him as a cold wind blew around the tower. "I suppose we have a contest to get to." His eyes were directed at the small owl and not the Gwen, because it was the owl who should have been informed of the contest. Gabe was sure it would not fully understand what he meant, but owls were very intelligent creatures.

Once her owl was perched on her hand, Gwendolyn moved to stroke her head, being careful not to move too suddenly and handle her gently. Although a small owl, Gwen had fallen in love with her the moment she'd set eyes on her when she was 11. A perky little thing, she'd suited Gwen from the very beginning and was perfect for the usual letters Gwendolyn tended to send. It had helped that she wasn't nearly as expensive due to her size something that was appreciated by her family at the time.

"Yes she did." Gwen smiled a little, looking at both Gabe and Apostal. She laughed softly as Gabe brought up the contest once more and nodded in agreement. "Very well, we should. Shall we place Ivy on your other shoulder, so you're next to one another?" Gwen suggested, looking at Apostal for approval. "Do you think Apostal would mind?"

Gabe looked up at Apostal, who fluffed his feathers. "We already know you are cuter than I am, birdbrain." Gabe laughed. Apostal jumped down from Gabe's shoulder to a perch beside them, snatched the letter Gabe had intended to be sent to his parents and puffed up again. The owl knew he was not only pretty, but valuable to Gabe. He strutted for a short distance on the perch and flew off leaving Ivy, Gwen and Gabe.

"I... am not sure what just happened." A smile was on Gabe's lips while confusion etched into the rest of his expression. "But I suppose that answers your question of putting Ivy on my shoulder."

"Absolutely." Gwendolyn agreed with a smile aimed at the owl. When he had what could only be described as an owl fit, Gwendolyn had to bite her lower lip in order to stop herself from laughing out loud because it was unbelievably hilarious.

"Neither am I." Gwen said with a smile now as she ran her fingers through her hair and flipped the strands over her shoulder. "Yes, I suppose it does, come, darling." She said, half to Gabe and half to Ivy as she coaxed the owl onto her friend's shoulder. Stepping back she crossed her arms as she looked at them both. Donning a look as serious as she could muster, her eyes scanned both the person and bird.

Gabe's telltale blush crept across is cheeks once more. Dear, darling, love, when said by anyone other than his cousin or other relatives Gabe could not help but blush. Looking at her, he realized, briefly, that he had a thing for blondes before he pushed it to the back of his mind. Gabe handled his sexuality the same whether it was his confusing feelings towards certain males or his feelings towards females. He tried to ignore it until it smacked him in the face.

Glancing over at the petite bird on his shoulder, Gabe nuzzled Ivy with his nose. He really did love owls. It was also another way to distract himself from the playful scrutiny of the blonde. Blue eyes shifted back to Gwen. "Just tell it to me, Ivy has it, doesn't she?"

Wanting to draw out the moment ad doing her best to create a bit of drama in the situation, Gwendolyn knit her brows together as she concentrated on her task. "Hmm"

When Gabe mention ed Ivy winning, Gwendolyn tutted and shook her head. "Such a defeatist, darling. That's not a very Slytherin trait, now is it." She said with a smirk and a shake of her head as if she was a bit disappointed.Finally she nodded and took a step toward Gabe. "I do have to agree with your assessment." She said finally. Leaning in she brushed her lips against Gabe's cheek. "Ivy wins." Gwendolyn revealed as she pulled out an owl treat from her pocket and then offered it to her little firecracker. "Well done, darling."

"That's the secret, isn't it? My Slytherin qualities are not as obvious as others." He teased. The truth was funnier in that way. When it came to knowing magic, he was sure of his abilities- when growing up in a wand shoppe, surrounded by magic at in its raw form, how could he not? When it came to showing confidence of self, he lacked in that area.

Gabe pressed his lips together the closer she moved to him. As if a stone on a calm water, he face turned a deep crimson from the point she kissed outward. He laughed to cover his embarrassment. "I don't suppose you had a human treat to give if I won. This is what I get for trying to beat an adorable owl. I shall shuffle my way to some hidden space to console myself."

With an audible sigh, he placed Ivy down to enjoy her treat. Hands in his pockets, and shoulders raised, he looked at Gwen with a smile.

"We'll just have to work harder on getting them out of you." Gwendolyn retorted smiling.

"I could have thought of a suitable human treat, Gabe. Don't worry." Gwendolyn said with a smile, her tongue darting out ever so briefly across her lower lip as she teased him then shot him a wink. "But don't go, you have to allow Ivy to boast, just a little." Gwen said with a smile, knowing full well that he wasn't going anywhere but not wanting him to go even if he had intended to do so.

Gabe bit at his own lower lip in response to her own visual signal. Even knowing that she was a flirt, he couldn't help himself. Shyly, Gabe grabbed his elbow with his other hand. Various situations played through his head on what he could do, what he wanted to do, but then Gabe was rare to act on such thoughts. The only time he had ever snogged anyone was AStoria as a stress release type thing. It was part of their friendship that tended to happen around exams.

"She can gloat all she wants, but I had bet on her to win either way." He raised his brows as he looked to the ground. "You only proved me right. Though I suppose I am owed a consolation prize?" A smirk crossed his lips as he looked up at her.

Gwendolyn flirted as easily as she breathed but certain people tended to make it far more enjoyable than others. Her eyes scanned him as she spoke and then he responded, needing to read him in order to gauge her next moves. It was always a good idea to understand your audience, even if they were a bit more difficult like Gabe.

When Gabe mentioned a consolation prize, Gwen brought a finger up to her chin as she considered it. Finally, she nodded. "I suppose I can give you a consolation prize." She agreed then smiled a little and smoothed her hands down her side, outlining her figure for him. "As you can see, I don't have anything else on me, so I will allow you to choose. What would you like?" She asked, her eyes twinkling as she meet his.

Pursing his lips, he tried to hide the smirk forming on his lips and the redness of his face in such a situation. Bright blue eyes matched hers with a hint of mischief that was usually reserved for his best friend. Gabe closed the space between them, without a remark to her question, and lightly brushed his lips against hers.

"I'm not sure, what are my options?" He asked in a whisper against her lips. Gabe could be on the shy side, his internal conflicts with himself left him soft spoken, but ever present in the moment- if not to get away from the future that taunting him in his visions. His shy mannerism did not keep him from from reacting, merely from acting first.

Gwendolyn was surprised by the move, not because she thought he wouldn't fancy her, c'mon she was Gwendolyn Montgomery, but because she didn't actually think Gabe would have the guts. When he stepped toward her and then moved in to kiss her, she quickly kissed him back.

"This, would be one of them." Gwendolyn responded before going up on her toes to meet him for another kiss. Closing her eyes she savoured it for a moment before running her tongue across his lower lip. "As was that."

A flutter of nervousness and a bite of embarrassment shifted through the Slytherin boy. Of all the people he imagined himself kissing, he had not thought any of the would want to kiss him back. Gwen was naturally very flirty, so expecting anything to happen was the last thing in Gabe's mind. But Gabe had his sudden moments of bravery that came around once in a blue moon.

He chuckled softly into the kisses, pulling back slightly to look at her. "Those were separate options?" The chill of a world not yet in Spring was forgotten along with the chattering of the owls that hid in nooks throughout the tower. He raised his hand to her cheek and pulled her into another kiss, lightly scraping his teeth over her bottom lip. The little owl may have won the contest, but he was sure that he wanted second place if these were the consolation prizes.

Letting Gabe kiss her again, Gwendolyn easily lost herself int he kiss. It wasn't hard, it was nice kissing Gabe and he was hardly bad looking. There was a light breeze in the room, easily brought on by the open space needed for the owls to fly, but she only used the opportunity to move in a little closer.

"Yes, they are but the work so much better together." Gwendolyn responded with a smirk as she kissed him once more. Pulling back for a moment, she grinned at him, her fingers running down his chest as she played with his tie. "We should play this more often."

Another flush of red crossed his cheeks. He wasn't entirely chaste, but he was very much a quiet part of the world. Gabe rarely wanted to be noticed, but being noticed meant that someone might see that he was a freak of nature with his visions or that he looked at certain male classmates in the same manner he looked at some of the females. Gwen had her games with him already with how openly she flirted on a day to day basis just to see him squirm; Gabe did not know how to react to her comment.

He licked his bottom lip before biting down on it, blue eyes watching how her lithe fingers played with his tie. He was speechless for the moment, his eye brows raising and lowering to a silent inner dialogue that ran through his head. The conversation was made up of a swirl of emotions and wants, each rumbling through him as the thunder rumbles across a sky in midsummer.

"I might be able to be arranged," Gabe managed to say shyly.

Gwendolyn watched him as he paused. She quite liked watching people, trying to understand the way that they worked, what they thought and how they processed things. It's what made her such a good actress and allowed her to be quite guarded with herself.

A smile slowly curved on her lips when his tongue crossed his lower lip. That was a good sign. Her fingers idled with his tie again as she glanced down at them, then up at his face, using he move to look up at him through her lashes. She paused herself when he responded.

Moving in she stopped just millimeters from his lips, not kissing him yet. "Good." She said before turning on her heel and heading for the door. She made sure to swing her hips enticingly as she moved, allowing him to stop her if he so wished, but also quite happy to tease him if he didn't/

"See you later, darling." Gwendolyn said as she paused for just a second at the door to the owlery. She turned to look at him as she spoke, winked at him and then stepped across the threshold. Always leave them wanting more. She's always enjoyed being chased.

No, that did it; he was sure she was doing it on purpose. The seductive look from underneath her lashes made his legs weak. She was the walking proof that he was no entirely batty nor off as a pureblood. He waited for the kiss that did not come, unconsciously letting out a whimper when she took toward the door.

Gabe chewed on his lip for a brief second when she paused at the door. His mind going a million miles a minute. She made it across the threshold and to the first stair before he moved, taking her arm to spin her toward him and kiss her once more. "You are going to be the death of me with these games," he said quietly. To make it less torture, he started down the stairs ahead of her.
