[/i] His eyes turned back up to hers, too content to be bothered to move more than just to lean back on his palms. “Mmhm” he waited, basking in her amusement. If it were up to him, she would look like this always. He did remember her clause, no sex. Something at the time he had found silly considering he had never had to bargain his way into bed with anybody. No, he got by on looks and skills alone, as she could now attest to herself. “I retract it.” His head rolled back with a smile. He should have seen that coming. Once again, he could have reminded her that he didn't need the favors to get her into bed. Sure, she had taken longer than most of his other conquests, but it had only taken him three months. That was nothing in the scheme of things. He didn't need the favors, at this very moment he couldn't think of anything that he couldn't make her do just by asking kindly. She was hooked, and sadly so was he. “So the question is, now what do we do?” His head lolled forward to look down at the foot that was now touching him. “Now?” he smiled, attempting to imply that she was asking for round two, which he was more than happy to give her. Once she knew that he was teasing his face mellowed. “Let's play it by ear. Nothing has changed. You know that” he stated simply. “But you don't need to go gallivanting with other men. Don't sleep with anybody else.”

”OY!” There was a knocking on the closet door, not quite a knocking...more like a banging. Gavin's eyes rolled lazily toward the door, not even nervous for a second. It was only the caretaker, he wasn't going to be able to unstick that door. Gavin had seem some sort of potion fall on it during their little session and he had heard the metal fuse. Not like the caretaker could do anything about it, he didn't even have a wand to his name. Never the less, he knew that Amina was bound to get nervous sometime or later, he was a little impressed that she wasn't falling over herself to find her clothing. Like he would have let the oaf look at her while she was still naked. Scratching at his own stomach absently he smiled at Amina reassuringly. He needed to be more cold, more distant. He needed to act like he had been earlier, unimpressed but he was just far too pleased with himself to bother at this very moment. Finding her tank top amongst the mess he tossed it at her, his fingers already moving for the white mass that was his shirt. He didn't give a damn about the grey one, not anymore. She could keep it for all he cared. Since her butt was all over it and all. Smirking to himself he pulled his shirt over his head and scrounged up his drawers, pulling them up and over his thighs, letting the elastic waistband to snap into place around his hips. Pulling his jeans off of the shelf that they had landed on, he slipped his feet into them and then his boots in one swift movement. He didn't even bother with the button since the person on the other door was now shouting obscenities at them for locking the door and kicking at the bottom. He was going to kick the whole damn thing off of it's hinges. Sinking back down to his knees he kissed her, really kissed her with his whole body.

He didn't want to drag his face away, but if he didn't get rid of the caretaker then they were both going to be caught, and then that was going to end very badly. Easily, he could have allowed the kiss to lead him back down the path that he wanted to repeat...but he couldn't. Not with their audience being so, present. His hand looked down to the ring on his index finger. The ring that he had gotten whenever he had been sorted into Slytherin that bore his family crest. He couldn't even remember the last time that he had taken it off, ever. It was supposed to be given to the french trollop, but he didn't even know her, he knew Amina. Other than her house, and her family, what was really so bad about her? He could always just take it back if he needed to. It couldn't hurt, and he wanted her to have it. Pulling the ring, with some difficulty, off of his finger he pressed it into her palm firmly, hopefully she would understand at least some of the significance of what he was giving her, even if she didn't know him all that well. “I don't want to see you with another man. Do you understand me?” He said forcefully, removing the ring from her palm and placing it on her thumb, the only place that it was bound to fit. She could put it on a necklace for all he cared so long as she didn't lose it or take it off. They weren't together, necessarily, but that didn't mean that she was exactly single either. Smiling once more he moved to his feet and placed his oddly naked hand on the door handle. “I'll take care of him. Wait a bit, then go about your business. I will find you again” it wasn't supposed to be a threat, but then again it was. It was a large school, but not so large that she could hide from him forever. Somehow, now he assumed that she wouldn't want to. Grabbing his wand and hat off of the floor where they had fallen in all of this mess, he slammed the fabric down on his head. “Alohamora”

Using his full body weight to slam into the door, the caretaker was knocked backward. He could hear the old man hit the floor. Shooting one last look at Amina he closed the door, knowing that everybody’s eyes would be on him and not bothering with the room that he had just come from. Hopefully she would be smart enough to lock the door behind him just in case. He was about to earn his first real detention of the year, but at least it was going to be worth it. Lifting his wand he shot the first hex that came to mind at some unsuspecting fifth year Hufflepuff student. No doubt they would just assume he was being an arrogant Slytherin and not hiding something, not like he was trying to cause a distraction. “Come on you talentless wretch” he shouted at the care taker who had scrambled to his feet by now, coming after Gavin as quickly as he could. The students were moving out of the caretakers way faster than they were Gavin's but that wasn't going to stop him. He was lithe, he could fly through the students. He didn't practice six hours a day for nothing after all. Feeling alive, he took off down the corridor, hexing people as he pleased on the way. He was starting to see why people liked to bully so much, it was entertaining. Landing at the stairs, he jumped on the bannister, and slid down without ever looking back.

[Amina Krane]

“Now? Let's play it by ear. Nothing has changed. You know that.” Amina’s smile faded slightly, as she gave a slight nod, her eyes drifting down to the floor. She knew before she had even began talking, but somewhere she hoped he would say things could be different than originally planned. She hoped that somehow, he would say he was wrong, that she was worthy, that they could have a relationship. Dreaming had become her specialty since she had met him, and she really hated that. But he even straight out admitted, nothing had changed. At least he told her that now rather than later. And he gave it to her simply, rather than playing it out. He had changed, she could see that. Did it really just take sleeping with him for the side of him to come out that she knew existed? By his smile she had given him at the touch of her foot to his leg, she imagined so. “But you don't need to go gallivanting with other men. Don't sleep with anybody else.” Her eyes flew from the floor back to him. First it was a bit of a shocked expression on her face but then it turned into a smile. Was he claiming her? Even if he wouldn’t outright state it, it sounded like he was claiming her. Shaking her head, she bit the inside of her lip. She was getting that school girl feeling again.

”OY!” She nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden noise. She hadn’t been expecting anyone to intrude at this point. They were a little late to the game. Amina sighed at that thought. Their game, which she had actually been enjoying fully this time, had come to an abrupt end thanks to, she was pretty sure, the caretaker. Why was he so damn nosy? Gavin seemed to not even care he was there, barely even reacting to the man behind the door. She, on the other hand, was starting to wonder how long it was going to take for him to get that door loose. She knew there were other people out there, waiting to find out who was behind that door and the last thing she wanted was for them to find them both naked on the floor. She was about to start scrounging around for her clothes when he moved. He managed to find her tank top first out of the mess and tossed it in her direction. She gladly put it on as he began to get dressed himself. Her eyes glanced in every direction for the rest of her clothing. She found her shorts off to the side, lying next to her broken panties. It looked like she was going commando. Oh well, it wouldn’t be the first time. Laundry day around her house usually meant she had run out of something to wear and somehow, her undergarments were always the first. She grabbed her shorts and slid them on before tucking her panties inside of her back pocket. She would mend them later, if possible. If not, it was a sacrifice she was willing to give up for what they had today.

When he knelt down, she almost wondered if he was going to stay despite the distraction outside. His lips came on top of hers once more and she couldn’t help but smile against the kiss. This was becoming awfully familiar territory and she didn’t want it to be anything else. But him pulling away was something she did want to be without. Her smile faded as her lips tugged to one side in a half-frown. She didn’t want him to leave. By the look on his face, he didn’t want to either and he was struggling with it. As she sat here on top of his second shirt, she wondered if she could hold it ransom and make him stay. Considering he had already put on his other one, she assumed not. He was probably going to just leave it, in which case it would be going inside her bag that was off to the corner. But he was going to leave something else too. His hand went to his ring finger to a very bold ring. She had noticed it once or twice but never cared to ask about its significance. If it was anything like the jewelry she wore, it meant nothing. However, when he took it off and pressed it into her hand, she knew it was something more. Her eyes went from the ring to him. “I don't want to see you with another man. Do you understand me?” For once in her life, Amina was speechless. His words were strong, yet soft at the same time. He was being utterly serious and something told her this ring meant a lot to him, enough to seal in his request. Before she could even bring herself to react, he had slipped the ring over her thumb. It was a near perfect fit, yet still too lose for her to chance wearing it there all the time. If it meant this much to him, it was going to mean that much to her and it was going to stay safe.

She didn’t even notice him stand up. Her eyes had been too transfixed on the ring. It bore some sort of crest on the top. She imagined it had some significance to his family. Maybe one day she would find out but today wouldn’t be that day for now he was at the door. Her eyes looked up to him, nearly pleading for him to just stay. They could just talk, ignore all the people out there. “I'll take care of him. Wait a bit, then go about your business. I will find you again.” Realizing it was a losing battle, she gave him a smile. “You better.” He grabbed the last of his things before using the his wand to unlock the door. She had expected him to just slip out and lock the door behind him but, instead, he went with the showmanship. He busted out of the door. She could hear a loud thud as it ran into the caretaker. His one last look at her made her heart turn into knots. She wanted to leave with him. She didn’t want to be without him but he had shut the door before she had a chance. She knew they couldn’t be together if he was to hold up his façade. She didn’t want to be a thorn in his side, only to be at his side. If it took time for him to accept her in that manner, then so be it. She would give him that time. She only hoped he would give her the time of day in the meantime.

When the door shut, she quickly stood up and locked it, pressing her ear to the door. She could hear a lot of people and also magic. He was doing something to someone out there. Who and what, she was unaware, but she hoped he wasn’t causing too much damage. Turning around, she picked up her bra from the floor, slid it up underneath her tank top and put it on just like she had learned in fifth grade at gymnastics class. She grabbed his shirt up off the floor, held it up to her nose and took in a deep breath of his scent, and placed it inside her bag. Her shoes slid on with ease and once again, her ear was pressed to the door. She could hear a bit of noise, but not nearly as much as before. The student seemed to have left the hall and now it was just the last few trickling her way through. It was now or never. Unlocking the door, she walked right out as if nothing had happened and shut it behind her. She first started back to the Gryffindor common room when her eyes bulged. “Arithmancy…” she muttered, turning in the opposite direction and bolting down the hallway. If she didn’t turn in that assignment, she was going to have to take the class over again to get her elective credit. At the very least, she imagined she was going to get detention. Even the thought of that, though, couldn’t erase the smile from her lips as her speed slowed. She was obviously going to be late, if the class wasn’t already over, so what was the rush? She might as well take her time and remember the last few hours. They were well worth the trouble she was going to be in.
