A Hogsmeade Weekend

[Synistergrrl]

~It was the first Hogsmeade weekend for the students of Hogwarts. The fall weather was crisp and cool, the trees were melting colors of red, yellow, orange and brown. It was beautiful and as the students all made their way down to the little village, they would wade through inches of fallen leaves. Everyone was all a twitter, happy and thrilled to have a little reprieve from the darkness that seemed to have settled over the school. It was one of those moments when they all were just happy to be kids, muggle, mud blood or pure blood, it was all sort of forgotten as they all went to relax away down in the Hogsmeade.~

MAL!! Slow down...

~Quinn moved through the crowd quickly to catch up to the dark haired Raven. Mal had already started his descent down to the town with Zillah at his side when they heard the loud Gryffindor calling to them to catch up. He was wearing a dark peacoat and ofcourse the Gryffindor signature scarf in gold and burgandy. Quinn's long mohawk that cascaded behind him like a flag as he darted threw the crowd to catch up to the two.~

Hey... Mal... Zillah... what's up?

~He was panting a little bit but there was a smile on his lips, his cheeks red from the cool crisp air. Mal, who was dressed all in black save for that silver and blue scarf. He was walking with Zillah and had stopped to wait for Quinn.~

Nothing.. What about you? Where is Nisen?

~Quinn frowned and then shook his head.~

He said he'd meet us for lunch at The Three Broomsticks. He said he was going to have someone with him...

~Quinn frown grew deeper. He knew exactly who was going to be with Nissy and he didn't like it at all. But he was going to play nice, for Nissy. And then ofcourse there was the problem of meeting up with Jack as well. He started walking as Mal made a face about meeting Nissy. ~

Ummm, we're also meeting up with Jack at the Broomstick....

~He said ti quickly and it caused Mal to stop and turn to stare at the Gryffindor who shifted a bit under the Ravenclaw's pointed stare.~

Really... Jack huh? Gryffindor Jack? Seeker Jack... GOLDEN boy Jack? The same one that hit Zee in the head with a rock? That Jack? Why are we meeting him exactly?

~Quinn seemed to not be able to look either in the eye.~

Um.. yeah.. that Jack.. and he'll behave.. I promise. If it's gonna be a problem, Zillah.. I can tell him to fuck off.. Really...

~Course he couldn't tell Jack to fuck off, but he wouldn't force Zillah to deal with Jack if the boy didn't want to. Quinn was watching the Slytherin carefully to see if he had any problems with it. Mal for his part just stared at Quinn, a bit taken back what Quinn was admitting, but he was staying quiet, he was good at that.~

-Zillah walked along Mal. The tall, stunning, blond slytherin moved relax with the smaller slytherin by his side. He needed Hogsmeade weekend as much as anyone else, anything to keep his mind focused on something other than waiting for the next post. The next bit of news. He dusted his fingers through the soft pale hair turning back slowly when he heard Mal's name being called. He smiled slowly seeing Quinn. He rather liked the loud Gryffindor. They were too much alike in some ways with Mal trying to keep them both from fighting far too much. The smile faded off his lips when he heard about Nisen ... -

Do NOT have that look on your face when he comes Quinn ...

-Zillah stared pointedly at the Gryffindor knowing he didn't have to warn Mal. Mal would know how to keep his cool better than any of them but he worried for Quinn. He reached out placing a hand on his shoulder ... -

He's dangerous ... just play nice ...

-He knew if need be he'd piss Bertrand off himself to keep the focus on him. He had a fondness for Quinn and Mal and despite the fact Zillah didn't seek out too many fights on his own he was formidable in his own right. Even he didn't like the thought of messing with Lorcan but he would if need be. He stopped at the second part and sighed. Great, the two people he didn't want to be sending any time with ... -

Can you?

-Zillah asked slowly and when Quinn looked up the Slytherin was smirking a bit as if guessing he couldn't tell Jack to fuck off because if he could have he already would have done so. He reached out ruffling Quinn's hair ... -

It's fine ... I'm gonna rather enjoy seeing Jack squirm and try to be behave with me and Lorcan ...

-When Quinn walked up ahead Zillah stayed by Mal's side. He reached out squeezing his butt a little bit and when the boy made some muffled little noise he leaned in whispering in his ear slowly ... -

I better get points for this weekend nurse ... like a much nicer bedside manner ...

-He knew Mal would roll his eyes at that but he liked teasing the stunning Slytherin and fuck if all he could think about wasn't just to fuck him. They walked towards the Broomstick and true to form Jack stood there leaned up against the wall looking relaxed and stunning. He had a magnetism that drew all the eyes to him with ease. It was hard to feel neutral about him, you hated or loved him, there was no inbetween with Jack. He smirked when he saw Quinn but it faded slightly at the sight of Zillah. He kept up a good pretence. Zillah stayed near Mal as he light up a cigarette slowly. He made Jack speak first ... -

Zillah .. Mal ... good weather for a Hogsmeade weekend ...

-Zee took a hit slowly ... -

I think the weather will get stormy soon enough ...

-Jack arched a brow but sighed and grit his teeth ... -

Sorry about the rock ... I misinterpreted what I saw ...

-Zee laughed quietly ... -

Oh THAT hard to hurt ...

-Jack's eyes narrowed faintly but Zillah smirked stamping out the
cigarette as he walked into the Broomstick and the others followed. They had some time to kill and relax before they were supposed to meet Nisen and Lori-

~Lori was prepared, well sort of. Nissy had simply said they would be lunching with Mal and Quinn and then going to the potions store. After that, Lori planned on taking the boy to the inn and having him finally. He knew that this was going to be a good day, he could feel it. He'd have Nissy in some big bed laid out and begging to be had. He was gonna leave his mark on the boy's delicate pale skin. He wondered just how far he could push Nissy, how much the boy would take before he broke. There was a fear that Nissy would break quickly and Lori didn't want that. He liked the game too much.~

~Quinn smiled when he saw that Zillah was teasing him causing him to push the older Slytherin a bit playfully, but then they were entering Hogsmeade and up ahead Jack was standing there against the building looking like some god. Quinn's smile grew as he saw the Gryffendor waiting for him. He knew that on some level that everyone else in the Gryffendor house were jealous that Quinn had Jack's attention. And he also knew that they were all wondering what little Quinn had that they didn't. But he didn't care. He only cared that as he approached Jack's eyes fell on him and the boy smiled for him. It made Quinn's stomach do sommersaults and his heart race.~

Hey Jack...

~Mal did roll his eyes when Zee spoke like that to him and he pushed the Slytherin away from him. The Ravenclaw watched as Quinn moved quicker to meet up with Jack. He looked up at Zee.~

We'll see just how well you behave... I had no idea, by the way... that we were meeting Jack.

~Mal had stopped Zee right before they got up to Jack and then he smiled up at him. It was something that was reserved for those he actually liked and cared for. He rarely smiled that genuinely.~

And because of that... Well... I suppose I could be nicer... but I was thinking you might like it if I was a bit naughty... but if you want nice...

~He shrugged as he said that as if he was sacrificing for Zee. But then they were close and they were talking to Jack. Mal smirked as Zee jabbed at the older Griffen. He could see how nervous Quinn was. So he went out of his way to be pleasant.~

Hi Jack... I'm Malcolm...

~They all went into The Three Broomsticks and sat down. The place was busy, it always was. They ordered a round of butterbeer and waited for Nissy and Lori to appear. They did manage to just keep things civil and Mal and Quinn managed to keep the conversation up beat. That is until a dark cloud fell over their table. Nissy and Lori entered. Nissy looked... pale. Lori had his hand on Nissy's back as if steering him. He was keeping the boy close, claiming him as his own and no one was willing to bother to do anything about it.~

~Nissy would see Mal and Quinn and then he'd also see Jack and Zillah sitting with them. It would have to make his soul freeze to know that he looked like he was setting Lori up. Of course he didn't know about Zee and Jack, but still. Lori cocked his head seeing not just Mal and Quinn, but Jack the golden seeker of the Gryffendor's and that mudblood Slytherin, Zillah sitting at the table with them. He looked down at Nissy and saw the fear in those eyes. He knew the boy had no idea they were going to be here, but it didn't mean he wasn't going to pay for it later. But Lori put on that easy languid smile and moved towards the table.~

Hello... Malcolm, Quinn... Jack...

~He nodded to them all and then he glanced at Zillah.~

I didn't know you were coming Zillah, we could have walked together...

~He purred. And Zillah might not want to fuck with Lori, but Lori was one of the few who never said anything to Zillah about being of mixed blood. He smiled, but leaned into Nissy and steered the boy to a chair. He dropped down next to him with that easy grace. He looked around the table at the way they were staring at him. His head cocked and it seemed as if that all the talk was just that, just talk. He seemed.... normal almost and the way he moved near Nissy, keeping the younger boy close, it wasn't strange, atleast not at first.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Jack had smiled when Quinn had gazed at him. He wasn't sure why the stunning little Gryffindor did to make him so enrapt but he was, maybe it was the fact he yelled at him, and didn't take any of his shit. Zillah had grinned down at Mal when the boy said he planned on being naughty. The foursome sat down after a while with Zillah looking faintly amused though there was little amusement in his eyes and Jack trying to ignore the Slytherin as best he could focusing on Quinn-

-Nissy had paled every day he was with Lorcan. His whole world slowly began to revolve around the Slytherin so much so he forgot to eat and could barely sleep. He frozen when they walked in and he saw Jack and Zillah sitting with his two friends. He paled even more, if possibly, looking like some little white ghost as he frozen next to the stunning Slytherin. He gazed up at Lori and whispered ... -

I didn't know the two would be here ... I'm sorry

-He moved in closer looking nervous as fuck so much so he couldn't even smile when Quinn and Mal looked at him. Zillah relaxed back, his eyes were trained on the Slytherin while Jack looked at Nisen and frowned a little at how messed up the boy looked. He was ready to punch Lorcan in the face for what he was doing. Zillah returned the smile faintly but it was fake as fuck ... -

Well you already had much better company then I could have been ... Nisen right?

-He gazed at Nissy and smiled a bit and it was warm and friendly before he stared back at Lori as the two sat down and he knew this was bad and they had to be careful. His arm was draped casually across Mal's chair as they sat and drank and ate. Slowly they all go up to go to the potions store and buy odds and ends. Zillah walked along side of Lorcan as if the two Slytherin were friends but he was mostly positioning himself between Lori and the others and Nisen was steered from his side by Mal and Quinn to grab some stuff. It was almost orchestrated and for a moment Lori was separated from his prey ... -

You're doing much better in potions ... Nisen is to credit for that? I hear he is one of the brightest at it in the school ...

-Idle chatter but the fact Zillah was in his way at all spoke volumes between the two of them. Nisen stood beside Mal but he kept gazing back. Jack was next to Quinn off the side relaxed against the boy. Nisen sighed chewing on his bottom lip as he frowned gazing at Mal-

I didn't know Jack and Zillah were going to be here ... w-why didn't you tell me?

~Lori smirked at Zillah's response. But as they ate, he seemed surprisingly calm. He was almost too nice and it seemed strange for all they had heard about him. He was doting on Nissy a bit, throwing him compliments in front of his friends. And then they went to the potion's shop. Inside Lori found himself seperated from Nissy and face to face with Zillah. His brow arched realizing they'd done it on purpose, but he knew Nissy wouldn't betray him. He had the boy already, hook, line and sinker. But Zillah was speaking and Lori cocked his head and then smiled a bit.~

You have heard right and it is to Nissy's credit. Though, in my defense, I have been tutoring him in Charms. But that's nothing really... Nissy is a very talented wizard... he just doesn't seem to believe that...

~And as Lori spoke, Zillah would realize how deadly this game was. Because it wasn't just that Lori was playing a game or that he was toying with Nissy, no, it was much more dangerous then that. Lori actually was praising the boy. He meant the words and he infact obviously had some sort of sick twisted feelings for the Hufflepuff. Which meant that when this ended, Nissy was going to crash and burn. It wouldn't just be that Lori had used him, no, it'd be that he had made the boy love him because he cared as well. And then he'd dump him and it'd crush Nissy.~

Well, to be honest I didn't know Jack was going to be here either, Quinn just dropped that bomb. But Nissy... it shouldn't matter... 'specially about Zillah, they are both Slytherin. Right?

~He was trying to make Nissy look at it from a logical point.~

Unless you think for some reason that Lori would be upset with them being here? And I don't see why he would honestly care. You'd think he'd be happy to have someone around his age.

~A frown crept to his face and then he reached out and pulled Nissy in closer to him.~

What is going on with you, Nissy? You look ready to jump out of your skin.... What is going on?

~Quinn had been sort of pushed away from Lori and Nissy and at the moment he was rounding a table and finding Jack standing there. He moved in closer to the older Gryffendor. He smiled for a moment and then his eyes flickered to Zillah and Lori.~

Thanks, Jack...

~He spoke softly before looking back up at the boy.~

I appreciate it... But don't let that go to your head...

~He smirked cutting Jack off way before he could say or do anything else. He glanced back at Lori and then edged in closer to Jack.~

Do you know anything about him? There's something not right about any of this. It's like he's being all nice... ya know? And if you say anything about Zillah I'm gonna punch you...

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-It did seem strange. Maybe all the rumors had been just that, rumors, but then again Nissy still looked a bit pale. Nervous. He was not himself. Nissy was smiling when he was being praised leaning against Lori a bit and it was obvious the boy was infatuated, that he couldn't think of anything but the Slytherin, and would do anything for him. That was the problem. The doing anything for him part. It was dangerous. Zillah leaned against the bookshelf staring at the other Slytherin carefully ... -

Well if you are his tutor in charms he is also lucky ... you're the best in class ... well ... second best ...

-Zillah smirked a bit obviously kidding, using that easy charm he was not known for, but inside he knew this was dangerous. Lori was actually praising Nissy, could it be the Slytherin actually liked the little Hufflepuff, well then getting in his way was even more deadly. Nissy was chewing on his bottom lip looking nervous. He wanted to go back to Lori and be close to him. He frowned a bit at those words ... -

I just don't like surprises ... you know ...

-Nissy shrugged ... -

Nothing is going on ...

-His eyes narrowed a bit darkly ... -

Stop pestering me. You're not my mother Mal ...

-It was the first time the Hufflepuff had spoken a harsh word. He slipped from his grasp and moved back towards Lori. He smiled affectionelty as he slipped in closer to the Slytherin whispering softly in his ear-

Can we go?

-He didn't want to explain anything to his friends and there was the first spark of a stronger spirit. Despite the fact Lori was also crushing him in some ways, he was also making Nissy stronger in some ways, more independent. Jack leaned into Quinn a bit smirking faintly-

Why not?

-He gazed at Quinn arching a brow-

You wouldn't punch me. I'm too pretty ... and no I don't know much about him ... he's Slytherin so clearly he's a noble soul ...

-He smirked shrugging as he tugged Quinn behind a shelf in some quiet out of the way place as he claimed his lips shutting him up. He'd put up with two Slytherin and a pissy Ravenclaw for the boy for the past two hours. He was owed a kiss, or really he just really wanted to kiss Quinn and they had a moment alone. He sighed when the kiss ended still pinning the younger Gryffindor in as he whispered ... -

Whatever is going on between them ... ain't nothing you can do ... let it go ...

[Synistergrrl]

I'd be happy to show you just whose the best in charms, Zillah, if you'd like?

~Lori purred the words, leaning in just a bit to Zillah with that dark little smile.~

I'd even wager you for it, if you wanted. I always like a challenge....

~Getting into a wager with Lorcan Bertrand could and would be very dangerous, but he was smiling, amused obviously. And in all honesty, he seemed, well... pleasant. He didn't have that edge that most Slytherin had, especially towards Zillah.~

I...

~Mal frowned as he was cut off. His eyes narrowed and for a moment the Ravenclaw's feathers ruffled enough that he almost snapped right back. But he managed to bite his tongue, managed to reign it in.~

No...

~He reached out, snatching Nissy's upper arm to stop him as he leaned in.~

I'm not your mother, but I am your FRIEND... and I'm worried about you... but obviously you have it all handled...

~He let him go then, spinning and walking away from Nissy. Mal was pissed, it rolled off him like a black cloud. He turned the corner to find Jack and Quinn making out. Mal's head cocked and then he heard Jack. The Raven slipped in and pushed Jack roughly back away from Quinn.~

So much for Gryffendor's being loyal. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, Jack...but Nissy is our friend... so is absolutely our problem....

~Quinn was a bit taken back by the coldness in Mal, but he straightened up, a bit red at being found in such a compromising position with Jack.~

Mal... calm down... I'm not just gonna let Nissy...

~Mal put his hand up.~

You can't stop Nissy... Quinn.. He's already made that bed and he's waiting to jump into it without reservation...

~Quinn stared at Mal and then the Raven shook his head, turning in annoyance and walking off. He was to pissed to think and he knew that was rash. It could ruin everything. He had to get out of there.~

Ofcourse....

~Lori purred when Nissy approached him. He put his arm around the boy and pulled him closer. But Lori turned those amber eyes back on Zillah, letting Zillah see the spark of interest he'd pulled in Lori.~

Anytime, Zillah... name the time and place... oh... and the conditions... have a good day....

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Zillah smirked a bit, he knew it was dangerous to tease the other Slytherin, no matter how pleasant he seemed now but then he'd never been that afraid of anything. He arched a brow at the wager bit ... -

I'd need time to think of something ... since I'll win ... and there's so much you have that I'd want ...

-He smirked before his eyes moved away glancing at Mal who looked pissed. He watched the Ravenclaw storm off as Nissy came back snuggling against the Slytherin who took him away. Zillah followed the stunning boy outside just walking slightly behind him allowing him to steam for a while before he moved in closer stopping him. He grabbed his wrist tugging him in an alley way ... -

So wanna tell me what happened?

-Jack had looked surprised when he'd gotten pushed off. His eyes narrowed instantly and it was a good thing Mal walked off because Quinn was pretty sure that Jack was about to punch him. He growled staring at the younger Gryffindor ... -

You wanna tell me what crawled up his ass and died?

-His fur was ruffled as the three couples departed moving off in different directions. Jack leaned into Quinn slowly ... -

Come on ... we got the rest of the day ... let's go to the muggle world and have some real fun. Come on we got two days to relax away from that shithold ... you really want to spend it here fighting with them?

-He asked slowly as he leaned in smiling that soft alluring smile that was impossible to resist. He was impossible to resist-
