"Sure we got a fire place" he smirked, nudging the Gryffindor girl gently, "You know us Slytherins, when it comes to comfort, we spare no expense." No kidding.
Oh but then she did say "Sneak me into Gryffindor tower?" the smirk widened into a mischievous grin. Well he walked right into Hufflepuff territory last term and lived to tell the tale, so why not set his sights at the Lion's den? "That would be awesome Lexi if you could get me in" he nodded firmly and gave her a playful wink. He always wanted to see the view from up there. And their furniture heh.
Then Lexi said something that completely wiped that grin off his face "Wh-What? Professor Carlton is no longer at Hogwarts?" He looked away, wheels turning in his head, trying to understand what she just said. "Wh--Why? Why did she leave? Was it the Potions homework?" He hung his head, guilt written all over his face. "I said I was sorry." he uttered quietly. Did he really say that to Carlton? He couldnt even remember. The effects of the antidote was too strong to make him recall anything after his lunch made a grand appearance on her office floor. He continued listening to Lexi half-heartedly-- new Charms professor, Madame Donovan as the new Gryffie Head. Then Lexi added the clincher-- she received points for making a stand, refusing to do the homework that he struggled to get done in the name of house pride. Now when did he start caring more about that than common decency?
He felt her shift beside him, unconsciously hanging his arm around her shoulders, listening to her talk about her summer. Apparently after their gag with the fountain she was still unhappy. He tilted his head slightly and looked at her profile, wondering how she could be lonely when she probably had friends all over London and Diagon Alley. She knew Jake, who just threw a party that summer, and the other fellow she introduced him there -- Ivan something.
He shifted his eyes when she touched upon their intimate moment, then furrowed his brows on her question. Does he feel what? "N-No." he answered simply, looking back at her "I mean if anything, that kinda drew us a closer dont you think?" he grinned, hugging her shoulder and gave her a knowing look. "Certainly a lot closer than dodging a handful of rotten food." he reminded her. Yeah the first day they met, at DADA, and it was over rotten apples. Literally.
Was she too forward? He looked down, took her hand with his free one and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Well... I guess among all the other girls I've ever been with you sure didnt beat around the bush for very long." he grinned. In a way he appreciated that, certainly took out all the fancy social decorum that oftentimes confuses him. He chuckled self-consciously "I'm just surprised that you bothered with me at all."
Laughing she gave a little shrug. "
I have no idea what goes on inside your common room, Sal. My brother never really discussed the inner workings of Slytherin house with me," she said honestly. Oh! He thought it would be AWESOME to hang out up there with the Lions. Well, of course it would be. Pfft she KNEW everyone wanted to be a Lion. "
Yeah it would be pretty epic, but the others might ban me from the house for such treachery. We are a proud lot, after all."
Oh noes. He was sad? "
Awww Salander! I hardly think it would have been the Potions assignment that made her leave. She was really not upset with you all after the apologies, I don't think. She wouldn't have let something like Professor Lafay being petty run her out of the school. She surely had something going on in her life," Lexi said quietly. Man. Sal was sweet.
Silence was never good in her opinion. Sal was quiet. Oh gosh. Oh wait... there was an arm around her shoulder. Good sign. EEP. He was HOLDING HER HAND. Awwwwww!
Okay he didn't feel awkward. Great. "
I didn't want there to be these weird... Hell I just didn't want things to be odd between us. I agree that I think it brought us closer. Sometimes, though, what I think is socially acceptable was not really the case for others." Case in point, Sabel. He was mortified when Lexi kissed him. Made her self conscious, of course.
It was then her turn to furrow her brow. "
Well, you don't see yourself very clearly then, do you? You are an amazing person, a very great friend, and look at you... In case you didn't get the memo, you are smoking hot, buddy. I wouldn't kick you out... I mean... Yeah," she said blushing furiously. Had she really just said that?!
SPOILER!!: Kurumi

Upon entering the kitchens, she saw Salander and the girl she had smiled at after her charmed cookies at the Gryffindor table. Oh, were they on a date? Kurumi tried not to frown and instead tried to sneak off to the other side of the kitchen so she could try making one of her new cookie recipes using some fresh ingredients she had gathered over the summer.
Maybe she could also put up a few of her baking class posters while she was down here.
The entrance of a little Gryffie did not catch Lexi's attention this time around. She was too busy being embarassed by her lack of self control. Who said things like that to boys? Her, obviously. HER!
