Rating/Warning: TBA - likely violence

For some reason it seemed like the professors were piling the work on this quarter. Alfie wasn't sure why - he thought maybe it was to distract them from what was going on, or from the students who hadn't come back. He was worried about his mum, and worried about Julien's mum and the weird letter she'd sent, and he barely had time to think about school work when he had to think about those things and about snogging Julien and the way he'd felt.

So, it wasn't any wonder that he decided to skive off his classes that afternoon. He ate one half of a Puking Pastille he'd bought at the new WWW Hogsmeade on the visiting day, and Professor Flitwick had sent him right out of class. He managed to make it a few hallways down, and then sat down in a dark, quiet little alcove as he ate the other half and waited for the sick feeling to go away.

Alfie was pretty sure that wasn't what that word meant, but he did stop struggling underneath the other boy, flushed too with anger and the exertion of the fight.

"You won't touch him or say anything to him?" What the fuck was he getting himself in to? Whatever it was, it had to be better than Goyle going around telling everyone he was a ponce. Or, worse, Goyle trying to hurt Julien. He could defend himself okay in a fight, and he could take a few punches, but he didnt' want anything laying a hand on Jules.

Greg stayed where he was, tilting his head to watch the expression of worry on Alfie's face, and there was a moment of bitter jealousy that flashed through Greg. No one would ever stand up for him, or even care for him as much as Alfie was for Julien, and it made Greg's humor at the situation slip.

"Yeah," he said with only a trace of bitterness, "I'll leave him be, but you," and that jealousy was immediately replaced with something more feral and mean, "You will be mine," he said, not moving yet.

"I won't make you swear an Unbreakable," and he paused, "I should though. But you and I both know that if you don't keep your word, well, he's toast."

Greg didn't move or speak for a moment, letting his words sink in; he wanted to make sure Alfie understoon him before he got off of him. Greg's smirk came back onto his face, "You in?"

The idea of Goyle even knowing how to swear an Unbreakable made Alfie's eyes go wide in a sort of terror that hadn't been there before. That was advanced magic, and fucking serious, and he got a feeling for just how dangerous this situation really would be.

"What would I have to do?" he asked, defensively, but then he thought about Julien and what would happen if he didn't, and he added a hasty, "I'm in."

Greg's eyes widened slightly at the look of fear that came over Alfie's face, and he wondered what he'd said that had caused that kind of reaction. He had no notion that it was the idea of the Unbreakable; if Alfie had any clue about Greg, he would have known the boy could barely cast a simple warming charm. But without knowing, Greg became exceedingly pleased at the look of fear he seemed to get from Alfie.

He slipped off of the boy, and stepped to the side to take a seat on the previously occupied seat.

"Well, we can start with favors. I've got a Potion's essay that needs a bit of work," Greg said, his eyes never leaving Alfie's, "I think we'll need to start meeting in the Library occasionally, to meet up so that you can give me a bit of help with my school work. Then, you can polish my broom," and he added, thinking about the new broom kit he'd gotten. He didn't mind doing that exactly, working on his broom, but the idea of having someone act like a House-elf for him was more than pleasing. He'd find loads for this boy to do for him; he was more than pleased at the idea of making Alfie's life a bit of a hell.

Goyle made it sound like he'd be a fucking servant or a slave or something, and Alfie bristled at that but also knew he had to agree, what choice did he have. He scooted until he was against the wall of the alcove, at least out of Goyle's reach, and propped himself up, arm over his kicked side where it hurt the worst. That was going to really bruise, he knew.

"Fine," he spat, "is that it?" Except he knew, somehow, Goyle would think of things for him to keep doing. It wasn't like he could say no. Then again, doing Goyle's homework would be a little bit of revenge, since Alfie was shite at schoolwork, too.

Greg gave the other boy a glance, "Let's just say we'll see," he said, leaning back as he rubbed his sore jaw slightly, "I am sure we can come up with loads more things for you to help me with. But for now, my homework," he added, and he nodded to himself thinking he'd stand up but then he stopped.

"So, you got to tell me, Cattermole. You must really care about him, to willingly put yourself in this pickle. Does he know that? That you are crazy for him?"

Greg wasn't sure why he was asking, but there was a part of him that yearned to understand how people loved each other, cared for each other so much. It made him think, fleetingly, of Theo and he wondered if he'd do the same for Theo, sacrifice himself as Alfie was for Julien. For a moment, Greg knew he would but then he doubted himself, and pressed Alfie more, wanting an answer.

"Tell me. Or I'll bloody put you on the floor again, you git. Does he know?" Greg asked again, clearly getting a bit irritated.

	"I'm not even sodding talking to you about him, Goyle," Alfie spat, his chin jutting up defiantly. Goyle could beat the shit out of him - what he and Julien had was special, was private, and it felt dirty to talk to Malfoy's goon about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Greg's face contorted into a scowl and he lunged that the boy again, ready to pin him to the wall. Clearly, this lad wasn't smart enough to figure out that he needed to do what was good for himself, at least in Greg's mind. He flew at him, his goal now to pin the other boy to the wall. Greg didn't care that he was hurting; it gave him an advantage over Alfie.

Greg's on hand reached for Alfie's throat while other went for a hand that might be moving towards what Greg could only assume was a wand.

"Did you not learn a thing, Mole? I'm in charge here, and you'll bloody well tell me whatever the fuck I want to know. If I bloody well want to know how it feels to grab his ass, you are fucking going to tell me, see?! Or I'm off to find your precious Julien and I'll ask him a thing or two. And then I'll announce to the whole damn school that you are fucking him, see?!"

Greg's hands squeezed, both of them, and his face was close to Alfie's as his hot breath blew on him. Greg's chest was rising and falling with his anger, and he let go of the boy's throat, not wanting to actual do serious bodily harm to his new lackey.

"So tell me. Does he know you fancy him that much, does he?"

Alfie thought that Goyle was going to strangle him, and he started struggling again but it didn't seem to help, so he went lax against the wall, swallowing hard when Goyle finally let go of his throat.

"Fine," he said, bitter, but the last thing he wanted was Goyle going to ask Julien anything. He didn't want Goyle in the same fucking room as Jules.

"Sure he knows," he said when he could breath. It sounded defensive again, though. Did Julien know? He wasn't even sure how he felt about Jules, how would Jules know?

Greg let his grip loosen more and he sat back, "See? That wasn't so hard. Bloody hell, Mole, you going to make everything a god damn fight? We've got to get this straight, here and now, cause you know I got no problem coming after you, again and again and again. And then, it will be his turn. What was his name again? Oh yeah, Julien, right," he said as he moved back on the floor, sort of half sitting half squatting so he was face to face with Alfie.

"How long has it been going on? Do you see each other much?"

Greg couldn't help his questions. There was a part of him dying to know, dying to understand. The whole think kept making him think about Theo, and he wondered if he should try to start something up again or at least talk to the other boy. But that was nothing for him to share with Alfie nor anyone; it made Greg confused, guilty and more lonely just thinking about Theo and all of it.

	Alfie raised a hand tentatively to rub at his throat where Goyle had held him, and he shrugged grudgingly, obviously not wanting to answer but he wasn't going to give Goyle any reason to go after Julien to try to get answers out of him. "Every week. Why the fuck do you care, anyway?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
