[untodeath]

[ Though she seems momentarily offended that he'd pull away from such affections, it inevitably gives way to humour. Chuckling, she threads her fingers into his, once she his hand again. ]

I see... A home all to ourselves, hmmm? [ Though she can recognise the tragedy in such a scenario, perhaps making light of it is for the best, for now. ]

[death_glare]

Don't assume we'll be doing this all week.

[ He looks her up and down so she knows what he's referring to. ]

You'll be sorely disappointed.

[untodeath]

[ With a quirk of the brow, she snickers! ]

You might be the only boy I've met that wouldn't dream of such a thing.

[death_glare]

And yet you're drawn to me, for some reason I can't understand.

[ Not that he can fully understand his own attraction to her. ]

[untodeath]

It's not just a reason. It's many!

[ She plops her head back onto his shoulder with a content hum. ]

I don't care for normal people, you know. I simply don't relate to them.

[ She fiddles her fingertips along the knuckles of William's hand. ]

You're simply in the habit of denying yourself, anyhow.

[death_glare]

I'm abnormal, then?

[ He doesn't quite sound offended, just perplexed. He thought he was more uninteresting than anything else. ]

I can't deny myself something I don't desire. [ Ok, he can't actually argue that, after what they just did. ] Don't usually desire.

[untodeath]

[ Grell tilts her hear to peek up at him with a very sceptical hum. ]

Oooh? So, you wouldn't want to do this again?

[death_glare]

[ A quick push to his glasses. ]

That's not what I said. Besides, if Angelina stays as well, what are we expected to do? Take turns with you? That would be highly uncomfortable.

[untodeath]

[ Visibly biting back a laugh, her shoulders shake! ]

My darling, there are-- ways for the three of us to be intimate. Together.

[death_glare]

[ He wasn't entirely unaware of that, but it still wasn't something he just wanted to assume would happen. ]

How is that less awkward? Honestly.

[untodeath]

[ Picking up her head, she shakes it lightly. ]

Well. Perhaps you first should be with just me, then?

[death_glare]

I don't think I could handle both of your taunting at once, besides.

[ He means their teasing...with words! But he's sure Grell will take that another way. ]

[untodeath]

[ Oh, indeed, she does! With a wicked little grin, she chuckles! ]

Oh, I'm quite sure that's the idea!

[death_glare]

[ He rolls his eyes, huffing. He should have clarified, not that it would have made much difference, he's sure. ]

Honestly, do you have to start now. At least let me have peace for the next few days.

[untodeath]

[ No difference, at all. ]

Come now, I think I've been quite nice to you.

[ Even though their hands are still entwined, she does manage to rub the back of a palm across his thigh. ]

Haven't I? [ She insists, batting her big doe eyes! ]

[death_glare]

You were very good at it.

But, don't go bringing this up every time you're displeased with the mood I'm in.

[untodeath]

[ Colour touches the redhead's cheeks, shoulders swaying. ]

But this soon after, when you claim I'm vexing you? I think I'm just a bit en-ti-tled♥.

[death_glare]

I think you've gotten a lot more out of me in one night than I ever anticipated. Do not push your luck.

[untodeath]

[ With a giggle, she leans in close, fully intending to kiss him! ]

Such a cruel boy♥♥♥~

[ And if he'll let her, she'll do just that, softly sighing with love~ ]

[death_glare]

[ Instead of his lips, she'll get a palm pressed to her face, pushing her back slightly. ]

What did I just tell you?

[untodeath]

[ With a muffled whimper, she flails her empty hands to find his wrist, and remove herself from that hand! And she looks rather like a kicked puppy. ]

Will... We were having such a good snuggle!!

[death_glare]

[ He can't deny he was enjoying that part. ]

Fine. Can we find somewhere a bit more comfortable, then? This isn't the most ideal spot. And I highly doubt we can sneak back to the castle without being caught.

[untodeath]

[ Relaxing a bit, Grell blinks with a tilt of her head. ]

Where would you suggest, darling?

[death_glare]

[ Brow furrowing, he looks down to the grass of the Quidditch field. That might work so well, but the locker room does have a few chairs they could work with. So long as they're out of there before anyone shows up for early practice.

Thankfully, William's up early nearly every day, classes or not. So the two of them enter the dining hall just in time for breakfast to start. Sure they're wearing the same clothes as yesterday and William's hair is a bit more mussed than usual, but he suspects no one will notice.

Spotting Ann, Grell takes him along to sit beside her, and William can only demand they lower their voices as Grell excitedly gushes about their night together.

Finally, the end of the week is upon them and the students are all carted off to the train station and bid farewell for the next week. William's lucky enough to live just outside of London, so their trek doesn't take much more than a trip on the Hogwarts Express.

The house is empty when they arrive, but William seems used to it and lets them in without a word on the topic. ]

I suppose you can bring your bags to my room. [ he doubts they'll even consider using the guest bedroom so he decides to save himself the frustration and allow them to bunk with him. ]

[spiderlilies]

You've a lovely home, William.

[ Ann gives a polite look around, as she wanders through the foyer, tote in hand. The look she gives him over her shoulder says that she might have an idea what's going through his mind, as such a home is likely to have a guest room or two. ]

Are you certain you're alright, Grell?
