Sitting on the grass *Dean and Vya*

[CERRIDWEN M. NIGHTS]

The summer months were starting to go again, t was starting to get to the winter time again, and so the weather was changing from being summer hot to the cool and breezy fall. This was the best time of the year, with all the things that were going on with the plants and animals, and the world was changing and getting ready for the great sleep that was going to some soon, the world was ready for it. And in so, this wonderful day Cerridwen decided that she wanted to spend most of her day outside, with the nice weather and the things that she loved there. She was a strange person, but she had a good heart behind her, and she was just going to let that go, depending on how she was won over, she doesn’t know what part of the way, or anything she was going to be with. Today though, she did not want to think about that, she had other things that she wanted to do, she had her stuff with her and she was going to work on it. She had gotten up that day and gotten dressed in normal cloths, just a nice long skirt, and a nice long shirt with some simple slip on shoes so that she didn’t get to hot. That and she was sure that someone was going to come and see her, how she did to know, but she knew.

When she was done and dressed she had gotten all her things together, taking her time to brush her hair out and make herself look nice. She then went down to the great hall and got herself something to eat, and then something to drink as well. It was just a calm time and she was going to take it from time to time. Once done there she walked out of the castle and down the front steps onto the lawn, she breathed in and sighed, the air flowed around her and brought her the feeling of peace, she then walked over to a good spot and sat herself down, then got back up as she made a face, turning she summoned a plastic cushion she could sit on and then dried off the back of her skirt and then cleaned it up again, sitting down once more. She then summoned something else to put on the ground and put her things down on that. She didn’t want to get her things dirty, and she didn’t want to get her stuff destroyed. She pulled out a quill and some parchment and sat herself to writing something out, she was so into the things that she was doing that she didn’t know other people or person that was watching for now, she was in her own world.

[VYACHESLAV C. CONSTANTINE]

Vyacheslav knew that the bright day would lure the beautiful Defence Against the Dark Arts professor to it's grounds. She was married to nature. He had to admit he admired it in her more than most. He made a mental note to check once he wasn't busy. He never ceased to be amazed when he saw her, the shimmering hair, the sassy way she dressed. She was a model woman, he'd never seen her stressed before. Always calm. He considered taking his things outside to work, but decided against it worrying about pesky insects flying around his ear or dirt staining his books. He was no dangerous bad boy, far from. In his experience he was always the man that women went out with, had a blast with, but only when their bad boy wasn't giving them attention, he was accustomed this way. He mixed with a variety of people at the Railview Hotel in Cokeworth which he lived in as opposed to Hogwarts. It was far more convienent to be leader of the Order of the Pheonix if he were near to the headquarters.

Sitting in the Railview Hotel dining room, tucking into a curry with Radiohead playing in the background, he kept a wide eye on his watch to make sure he wasn't missing any appointments. He came back to Hogwarts at 1:49pm, having a class in fourty-five minutes in which he had to prepare for. His pockets filled with jelly slugs that he'd bought from the Hogwarts Express food trolley. As he approached his office he could hear his intruder charm being set off, but by the time he ran there the office was empty. He didn't know if a ghost had floated through or there had been someone there but nothing seemed to be missing. His portraits of Orion Black and Addison Ridley, which had been there longer than he, didn't see anything either.

The only clue was that the window was open, situated directly above Hogwarts lawns. It was suspicious, but instead chose to focus on the woman in question. Cerridwen Nights, a unique that existed on light flirtation and after-class conversation. He felt like a teenager again when he spoke to her. He moved over to a tiny counter in his office where a cappucino machine stood wrecked but still workable. He put one of his plastic cups under the nozzle and requested a hot chocolate. Putting a plastic cover over the cup he strolled out of his office, sipping his drink as he walked out onto the lawns.

"If you love the hot weather so much I'll have to take you to Hawaii sometime" he grinned, sinking down next to her. "Busy today?" he asked.

[DEAN A. SIMMS]

Okay so the bright outside was not the first place you'd run across Professor Simms, but the new Potions master had been forced to visit the Forbidden Forest early that morning to collect some vital Potions ingredients that would take too long to order in for his NEWT lessons the following day. Those businesses just didn't appreciate that we can't wait weeks and weeks for a crummy box of slugs. So there Dean was, carrying a container with a few dozen horned slugs in for the potions lesson the next morning, climbing the hill back toward the castle and snarling up at the sun.

Scowling at some of the first years sitting on the grass, Dean's eyes finally caught sight of a woman sitting on the grass not too far away, and although she seemed a little older than him, he stopped walking for a moment to get a better look at her. Now Dean was a bit of a womaniser when it came to romance, and he fancied his chances with the Professor who he had seen a few times in the staff room during his first months at the school. He didn't know her name, nor which class she taught, but hey - part of the fun was in the mystery. Strolling his way towards where she was sitting with the box in his arms, Dean was about to clear his throat and introduce himself when a man older than both of them who Dean remembered as the Ancient Runes Professor from just three years ago moved in first and sat down next to the woman on the grass. All the people he had met over the past three years; their names had forced the name of this Professor's from his mind, and Dean moved closer to them to pick up what they were saying, stopping just infront of the woman and blocking out the sun with his shadow. "Not if I take her there first," Dean remarked cooly, glancing down at the Professor with a rather cold expression before he changed his line of vision back to the man. "I do hope you're not busy today, miss, that would be an awful shame on my behalf," the Slytherin alumni added, flashing the woman his best smile as he shifted his weight to make the slug box seem a little lighter. Those horned snails made up where they lacked in attractiveness by their weight, that was for sure.

[CERRIDWEN M. NIGHTS]

She had no idea that this was going to happen today, that she was going to be come upon by two strapping men, she was going to be all a giggle and a flutter thanks to the whole thing, though still keeping her head. She was working on some papers when she knew that something was going to happen, it was weird, how did she know something like that was going to happen and what not. She hummed some, her work was boring and she didn’t want to be doing it, because it meant that she was doing work, no mater what it was it was still work as she sat there. Her mined off into her own world thinking about life, and how she was not young any more, granted she was only 28 but still, she had to start thinking about something else in her life, she wanted something more, something that would make her happy, and she would be able to pass it on with something else as well, her mind raced, wondering about the whole thing when she was brought back to the real world when she heard someone walking up to her that time around.

She looked up and smiled brightly when Vyach was talking to her, she couldn’t help feeling a flutter in her chest thanks to that, he was such a nice man and was always so nice to her. She laughed a moment when he was talking about going to Hawaii and things like that. She was going to say something when she heard another voice saying that he would do that first and then asking about being busy and what not. She then looked up to see Dean there and she couldn’t help another flutter in her as well, was this her lucky day about the whole fact that she had two of the best looking men there to talk to. "Well, I do say, this has got to be my lucky day, two very nice men talking to me in one day, wow. Sorry i couldn’t help that bit of a laugh really. Well to answer one, I am not busy right now, i was just working on some papers for class, you know Defense against the dark arts, hard on this year with some of the NEWT's this time around. So im pretty much free, for whoever or whatever I am needed for." She smiled at them both, giving each a flirting glance as well, she didn’t know who she liked best, so it was going to be a battle of the men to figure that one out.
