ass_teaWhere: Slytherin Boys' Dormitories
When: Late January, 2022 (Fifth Year)
It was decently late in the evening when Alby and Scorp returned to the Slytherin dormitories. Classes had begun picking up again, and the two had retreated to the Chamber of Snogs for some studying and a bit of… other extracurricular activities. Alby grinned a bit to himself, thinking how wonderful it was that he and Scorp had a place like the Chamber to be alone in. He bet that any other couple in the school would kill for the ability to have a place where they knew they wouldn’t be interrupted. And it wasn’t as though Gilbert and Serge would tell on them.
As they approached the door to the fifth year boys’ dormitories, however, Alby paused. There were noises coming from within – kind of a scuffling, along with voices, though they weren’t saying anything intelligible as far as he could tell. Alby glanced at Scorp worriedly, frowning a bit. Was someone fighting? He hadn’t thought any of the dormmates had been having issues…
He pulled away from Scorp a bit and hurried the last few steps to the door. If there was a fight going on, it would be best to put it to a stop before things got serious. They all had to live together, after all, and fights were not something Alby liked. Especially not among his friends. He pushed the heavy door open, stepping into the room. At first he didn’t see where the sounds were coming from. Then his eyes fell on Alex’s bed, upon which were Alex and Joe. But they weren’t fighting.
They were kissing. Rather heatedly, in fact – Alex had pushed Joe most of the way onto the bed, one hand tangled in the other’s tie. Joe’s hair was a bit unkempt, and his hands were on Alex’s shoulders; for a moment Alby couldn’t tell if he was pushing or pulling at Alex. For that matter, he suddenly couldn’t tell if the kiss was passionate, or just sloppy.
“… Uh,” he squeaked, coming to so abrupt a halt that Scorpius nearly bumped into him from behind. He suddenly got the feeling that maybe they ought to back out of the room. Quickly.
But it was too late. Alex and Joe had obviously noticed them. Alex glanced up, breaking the liplock with Joe a few seconds later, turning his head to them with a half-chagrined grin. “Think it’s about time the two of you stopped having all the fun around here,” he said cheerily. “Don’t suppose you might’ve thought to knock?” Below him, Joe’s cheeks were beginning to turn as pink as Alby’s probably were.
[OOC: Okay, so hopefully that sounds decent. XD If there’s anything that you think needs changing, just let me know. I think this was the setup we originally had in mind, though? We may want to skip some time after a while, since I think Joe and Alex end up fighting and putting Alby and Scorp in the middle of it or something? I think that might’ve been the plan… Anyway, I think I lose at writing Alex, so. ^^;; I can make some changes if you have any preferences~ :D;]

Date: 2008-09-08 06:23 am (UTC)Scorpius did his best not to groan when his head of house mentioned detention. He'd just done one of those a few months ago with Alby's git of a brother. Well, at least it wasn't scrubbing the loo, Scorpius thought, though it hardly cheered him up.
"I want you to report to Mr. Ollerton immediately after your classes starting tomorrow," Professor Blackwood said. "And if I hear that any of you are late so much by minutes it'll be double detentions for all of you."
Scorpius thought he heard Alex groan out loud.
"Is there any point you wish to dispute, Mr. Moran?"
"No, Professor," Alex replied quickly.
"Well, then, I trust that the next time you four wish to have a discussion, you'll conduct it with the type of civility that behooves students of your stature. And you, Mr. Wenlock; if I see behavior like this from a Prefect again, I will have to seriously reconsider your appointment."
"Yes, Professor," Joe replied, his voice a little faint.
"Good. Now I suggest you let the rest of the evening pass in peace, or I'll have to start knocking points in addition to assigning detentions. Good night, boys."
Scorpius breathed a sigh of relief as the Professor left, but Alessandra and Rogir lingered, shooting each other a look before stepping inside the dormitory room and shutting the door behind them.
"Look, mates," Rogir said, keeping his voice low, "the entire common room heard what was going on here," he said, looking particularly at Scorpius and Alby.
Scorpius gulped.
"Including the bit about your sleeping arrangements," Rogir added. "You're lucky Blackwood wasn't around when that got leaked, or you four would be in much bigger trouble than just a week of detention."
"My suggestion to you right now," said Alessandra evenly, "is to lay low until this whole thing blows over. Talk is going to be flying around for the school for the next few days, but thankfully you have detentions so you won't be hearing much of that, will you?" She smiled. Scorpius couldn't quite find it in him to smile back.
"All right, you blokes better get this sorted out," Rogir said. He waited for everyone in the room to nod. "Okay," he said simply, and he and Alessandra, shooting all four of them looks of pity, closed the door quietly behind them.
Scorpius glanced at Alby, not quite sure what he was supposed to be doing now. Maybe just hide in the Chamber of Snogs and come out only for classes, meals, and detention? "Right," he said, doing his best not to glare at Joe and Alex. "Thanks."
