Well, clearly it wasn't the best of situations, but she had to think of the greater good! Or at least of herself, because really? If she didn't keep a few students in line? The next thing she knew she'd be caught up in some horrifying situation, like... having an expensive dress stolen by a careless second year or... something, whatever it was that would make Adriana angry. Not that he was assuming she was a sob who would cry over something like a dress or... oh bugger it. The point was that there was a certain level of danger here, especially when everyone seemed so bloody OBLIVIOUS to... everything!

Noah wouldn't have been able to work with a Gryffindor either, meaning Erik Cohen. Honestly, the bloke was far too hyper for something this important. Oh bloody hell, if Charlie and Erik had rounds together? Noah thought perhaps it would be best he pack his trunk, just in case something terrible did happen.

He couldn't stop thinking about how he'd ended up in such a shite situation. He'd planned to find a way to snog McGonagall this week without embarrassing himself too badly - or at least not getting expelled, but now the woman was sick. UGH. If only he had better social skills, he could have been off with the others... snogging in closests instead of paying attention to responsibility. Would have been nice, for once.

"I just mean... calmer than - " Noah started to explain, cut off by the two second years with some sort of liquid spraying mechanism. NOOOOO. He was already FAILING and he'd not been walking the corridors for even ten minutes!

"Did you get a good look at them? I was blinded by... wet... cold," Noah asked her, frowning a bit as water dripped off the tip of his nose.

[adriana_winters]

There was some conspiracy with whomever decided the Prefects this term. It was the only logical solution to why Charlie, Erik, and Troy could have official positions within the school. Even herself, too, for that matter! Adriana was endlessly amused that she was a prefect, a bloody prefect! Of course, she was much more capable of taking on the responsibility and taking initiative, but honestly - who in their right mind thought of HER when looking for someone who was studious and a top caring student? Ha.

It was probably a very good thing that Adriana was unaware of this little bet Noah made between himself and Thatcher. Especially considering Thatch's end would have been to snog her. Oi, that would not have turned out well. He was cute, Adriana would give him that, but Gryffindor mudblood. Enough said.

"Not entirely," she ground out in reply, shaking her sleeve slightly and wiping down the front of her robes. "I don't usually make a point of getting to know all the annoying twelve-year-old's in the school. One was a Gryffindor, I didn't see the other House."

She sighed, nose scrunching up in a cringe as she looked down at herself. That better have been just water or so help her...

Adriana glanced over to Noah after a few moments, hoping that perhaps he could identify the second years. Revenge was sweet. Simple as that. She just barely held back a snort of laughter after a drop of the liquid fell from the end of his nose, not entirely sure why she was so amused at the pouty expression on his face.

Clearing her throat, Adriana quickly turned to glance down the corridor again. "Who knew it was so thrilling to be a Prefect," she remarked dryly, the slightest smirk quirking onto her lips for a moment.

[noah_ogilvy]

Noah enjoyed conspiracy theories and alternate explanations and things of that sort. It was part of why he was so bloody amused by The Quibbler. Of course, he was smart enough not to mention that these days. He tended to ramble and bore several people, while annoying the rest - those people who hated the publication. Noah was one of the only prefects who had been logically chosen for his position. He did excel in several subjects and had very little desire to break rules. Bend them, possibly, but breaking them? Not he!

Ah, yes, well that was a bit of an awkward thing to bring up. Noah hadn't actually bothered to ask Thatcher why it would be so terrible to snog Adriana Winters. Noah had simply assumed that Adriana would hex the bloke, and left it at that. Walking the corridors she didn't seem so terrible, though. Maybe there was something one had to do to get on her bad side.

"Merlin, I would hope that wasn't a hobby of yours!" Noah responded with a shake of his head, poking at his eyes a bit with his fingers to make sure it was safe to open them. The water did smell funny. One could never be too careful.

"All you needed to know was the house. We can at least take a few points from Gryffindor for this," Noah stated with a decisive nod, shivering a bit as the air made the water feel that much colder on his skin.

He finally took a moment to look at Adriana, smirking at her also damp hair. Not to mention a bit of smudged makeup. It was probably dangerous to laugh at a snake. She could... LEAVE HIM ON HIS OWN. And what would happen if the second years came back with even smellier water?

"Easy targets, wandering around with badges that just scream 'play a prank on me'," Noah responded with a shrug, wiping his face with the back of his hand.

[adriana_winters]

Adriana would, at the very least, hope that Thatcher would be afraid for his life if he were to try and snog her.

She smirked, watching as Noah hesitantly opened his eyes fully. Good Lord, he was so... awkward. Scared and Skiddish of things, possibly even herself, it almost made her pity the poor bloke. Almost.

You really did have to get on Adriana's bad side in order to really get the brunt of her type of damage. That was easier for some... like Gryffindors and mudbloods, but she didn't immediately act like an evil monster towards everyone. She didn't bloody well go around jinxing random mudbloods - they were hardly worth the effort of lifting her wand arm. Piss her off, and that's when Adriana wouldn't hesitate to show you where your place is.

"Best idea I've heard so far today," she said, a grin appearing on her face as she tucked some damp curls behind her ear. Ah, Gryffindors getting points taken away. A brilliant way to avenge her ruined hair and running mascara. Speaking of that, Adriana continued to wipe at her face gently, wanting to get most of the water off and to fix herself back up.

Adriana turned back from the corridor to Noah to see him looking at her, and she cocked an eyebrow curiously, narrowing her eyes almost automatically. "Something interesting, Noah?" she inquired firmly, moving a step closer to him for no particular reason.

[noah_ogilvy]

Oh. Well, if he was fearing for his life, that would explain why he was so intent on winning. Made sense to have such a frightening wager, actually, considering they both were well aware that there was no chance Noah was going to win.

Noah Ogilvy would have hated being pitied. He did have an incredibly ridiculous fear of some things, irrational ones some could say, but he was certainly capable of enjoying life and what it had to offer! He was constantly teased by his mates for being... him, but he liked himself! At least he had an imagination to go with his paranoia. Made things more interesting, to say the least.

He was NOT uptight and in need of a mud bath. Honestly, the things people were coming up with these days!

Noah was a mudblood, though he wouldn't use the term himself, and if he took the time to think about it - no one would ever really know for sure. He wasn't obvious about it... one of his sister's had been in Slytherin and both his parents were wizards. Hmmn. Perhaps that made it easier to stay under the radar. He'd prefer that, as he didn't fancy being sent to St. Mungo's anytime soon. He was still a bit queasy over Troy's unfortunate trip.

"Done, then. I'd keep an eye and ear open, though. You never know if they've got accomplices running amok," Noah warned with slightly widened eyes, still not realising there was a wand he could be using to dry himself off.

Noah's mouth opened partially as she questioned him, hoping he'd not said something to set her off. Interesting? Oy. He wasn't... she was looking sort of... maybe if he stood really still. What was his stomach doing? Nerves.

"Right, well... the whole situation, really. Fascinating," Noah answered her with a shrug, chuckling a bit without cause.

[adriana_winters]

Adriana would most definitely have to question about the whole 'mud bath' thing, but frankly, would be slightly surprised to hear him being called uptight. Shy, quiet, introverted... yes, but uptight? She hadn't seen Noah uptight. At least yet.

"Yes..." she mumbled with a nod, taking one more glance on either side of the currently empty corridor cautiously. Her wand had been slipped back into her robes, then, not registering the whole easy drying charm they both could have used by now, either.

"Fascinating?" she repeated in a questioning tone, brows furrowing even more in amusement. Was he not able to get her more than obvious sarcasm from that? Oi. What a Ravenclaw, he was! "You find wasting your time in empty corridors and getting sprayed with disgustingly odoured water fascinating?" He needed to get out more.

Adriana laughed softly, then, a bit suprised at herself for doing so. Clearing her throat lightly in composure, she crossed her arms. "That wouldn't be the word I'd actually choose, though at least this spiced up our otherwise boring rounds," she confessed with a shrug of her shoulders, nodding with her glance down at her dampened robes before lifting it back up. Adriana tilted her head to the side just slightly, gazing more intently at Noah. "And you don't even look that bad, your hair looks better wet down like that... a nice messier look."

...OI, what?

[noah_ogilvy]

That was exactly Noah's point! He was a bit socially awkward, and he often preferred to do things on his own without being bothered by the suggestions of others, but his best mate was TROY FROGLEY. If he were truly uptight, he naturally would have been dead from stress by now. Honestly, his heart would give out at the first sign of a boyish scheme.

Noah actually smiled as Adriana scanned the corridor, waiting for more prattish second years with annoyingly good aim to bombard them with smelly water. Oddly enough, it didn't hold its scent once it soaked into the clothes and skin. Noah didn't feel disgusted, he felt sort of... peaceful.

Noah's eyebrows furrowed also, though his in concentration. He couldn't help but be somewhat on edge when she repeated his statement, shifting his weight from one foot to the other as she finished. Oh, HAR. Well, she had a point.

"Yes! That's not to suggest it isn't bothersome as well. I'd rather have the gits back here to take points from or hand out a detention or summat, but fascinating? It is, as I've never been in such a situation before," Noah answered her, feeling even more relaxed as she laughed. Good then. She wasn't about to hex him into oblivion!

Noah's eyebrow raised in curiosity as she stated that he didn't look too bad with wet hair. Well... now things were getting fascinating. It wasn't every day that Adriana Winters even took a minute to have a conversation, let alone dish out compliments. Normally he would brush off the comment, think the other person as trying to be polite, but for some reason he found himself grinning like a fool.

"I'll have to remember that for the future. Have to be seen in public after showering," Noah responded, taking a casual step forward. He didn't mention showering. Ever. His brain would overload, but... apparently not today.

"You don't look so bad yourself. Unfortunate you had robes on, though. Perhaps if you'd had clothing clinging to you like your hair is currently stuck on your face, those blokes would have slowed down for a look. Could have been useful for that detention concept."

OH MERLIN. That was something he'd THINK not SAY! She was going to slap him. He probably should have been running.

[adriana_winters]

Adriana was also happy that the gross smell from the water seemed to pass after a few minutes. Very helpful as it was horrible to take in, and she didn't find herself feeling so vengeful or particularly angry anymore. Hmm.

After the compliment came out, Adriana blinked several times, eyes wide as if she had just been stunned. What the bleeding hell made her compliment some Ravenclaw she only knew the first name of? It wasn't odd for her to be a charmer, but it was definitely off for Adriana to start complimenting any random student. Well, she would easily say the statement about his hair was true, the way a few strands were falling into his eyes and... Oi, back on track!

She stood her ground, arms still crossed firmly, giving no major outward sign that she had just questioned her own actions.

"You do that," she replied almost instantly about Noah showering, once again saying something before she thought it through. Adriana took a deeper breath, shifting her weight to her other foot.

"Really?" she said slowly, honestly taken aback by his sudden flirtatious nature. She couldn't possibly complain, of course, compliments were more than happily taken at any time, thank you! From Noah, however, it was a surprise. Adriana didn't think much on it for long. She liked it, after all.

Adriana's lips curved into a deep smirk after Noah's final comment, mind reeling in charm mode. Not bad, not bad at all. "True, but too young for me. I'd prefer to share such an experience with someone older," she replied easily, leaning in just the slightest as she lowered her voice, gaze dropping downwards, giving him a quick once-over. "Really, where's the fun if you're the only one who is all wet in an empty corridor with nothing to do?"

Err, the thought of slapping him? Didn't even cross her mind.

[noah_ogilvy]

If Adriana thought it was strange that she had given a compliment, she should have tried taking a peek inside the mind of Noah Ogilvy. It was even more rare for him to do such a thing. It wasn't because he didn't see the good aspects of people, but because he never seemed to find the right way to comment on them. His mind worked too quickly to focus on what he wanted in social situations.

Noah also noticed the few strands of hair falling into his eyes, but mostly because they were making his forehead itch. Not that he'd dare to scratch his forehead... something about that seemed off in his mind. Then there was that other small problem of him staring at her for far longer than necessary.

He smirked at her statement, narrowing his eyes a little. Was that sarcasm, or was she asking him to walk around after he'd showered? Har. Didn't really matter, did it? He was thinking too much on it already.

He nodded his head 'yes' as she asked him if he meant it, more or less. He wasn't used to saying things to birds at all, let alone having any sort of suggestion of anything that was more than... he just... the point was something was horribly off here, and he was happy anyway!

"I suppose you are rather fortunate, then. I'm sopping wet, and very much cold, and probably in need of fun also," Noah answered her with a pout and a nod.

He had meant all of those things but... not in the tone he'd used. Why was his voice lower, eh? Bugger. He was confusing himself.

[adriana_winters]

So, it seemed Adriana and Noah were similar on quite a few aspects - and also completely opposite. Adriana was always rather articulate and outgoing, and she had little trouble striking up a conversation, flirty or otherwise, with anyone. She knew how to work her charm, there was no doubt of that in anyone who even remotely knew her.

Nope, that wasn't sarcasm at all, and she simply smiled back at Noah's smirk. He was more than welcome to walk around while sopping wet all over after a shower, no need for just his hair.

Okay. Adriana was currently feeling a tad... confused. She felt perfectly fine and amused with the situation, and also there was that elitist side of her jabbing her in the ribs. While acting flirty was nothing new, suggestively talking with a bloke like Noah sure was. So, why exactly was she flirting with him again?

...Umm - who really cared!? Hell, Noah was good looking, Adriana couldn't deny that in the least. She didn't know much about him, but he was clearly returning the gestures here. Who was SHE to pass up something like that!?

Oh, and then he pouted! Though Adriana wouldn't ever admit it, she found there was something terribly endearing about a bloke pouting at her, pretending to be coy or sad when he most definitely wasn't.

"I'd like to know what I did to deserve you," she said in a low and more seductive tone, only a mere foot away from each other now as her eyes darted down to his lips before back up to meet his eyes. "Regardless. We're clearly both in a bit of a predicament, any suggestions on said fun?"

[noah_ogilvy]

Noah could agree that he and Adriana were very clearly opposites. While he didn't have trouble striking up a conversation, he most definitely struggled with keeping one going. Noah didn't know her, really, not all that well. It made the 'working the charm' aspect of her completely unknown to him, which meant it was that much more surprising when she countered one of his completely random, flirtatious statements.

Noah didn't know why she was flirting with him, but he was surprisingly not minding it much. Normally his mind would... stop functioning if a pretty bird even so much as looked at him in a flattering way. As of now she was doing that and much more, and he couldn't seem to control the flip-flopping feeling in his stomach that had him looking very intently at the drops of water yet to fall from her face.

He was returning the gestures, and that was a bit frightening on its own. It wasn't his forte, it wasn't what he did, and here he was... attempting to be charming or attractive or merlin knows what!

Whaaaaaaaaaat? Noah felt his heart skip a beat as she asked what she did to deserve him, swallowing hard for a moment.

"Oh you deserve much better than me, I've only stated the obvious," he returned, watching her eyes drop to his lips and stepping even closer to her without thinking.

"Water polo... it could only make things better," Noah joked, glancing at her lips now. What in bloody hell was he doing?

[adriana_winters]

She was just as surprised to find Noah flirting with her, though most likely for very different reasons. Adriana was more than used to suggestive looks and flirtatious comments, but not from random awkward Ravenclaws and seemingly out of nowhere. Usually they knew her as the Slytherin bitch, or some other variation that equally made her evil.

"I suppose that could very well be true," she said, pursing her lips as she looked over to the far wall for a moment. Uncrossing her arms, Adriana raised an eyebrow at Noah. "However, I'm not aware of any other good looking blokes standing around the corridors all soaking wet.. are you?"

Adriana chuckled softly at the water polo remark, lips spreading into a grin as he moved that much closer. She kept watching him, and she unconsciously bit at her bottom lip lightly. Merlin, he was really cute, and he was still wet, and the hair was still by his eyes and... OH, sod it! What difference does it make if she usually didn't snog Ravenclaws? It had been far too long since she snogged anyone and she bloody well wanted to, thank you very much!

With that single thought, Adriana cut any further process of thinking off by breaking that tiny space left between them. Hand going to his cheek, she kissed him, actually fairly gentle compared to her normal... err, preference for the immediate rough snogs.

[noah_ogilvy]

Noah couldn't say that he hadn't been warned about her in at least some small way. The refusal of Thatcher to go anywhere near the bird was a hint, but for some reason... all of that former chatter had been completely lost within this moment. It could have been the effects of the potion he didn't know he was currently soaked in, but there was also the simple fact that Noah Ogilvy was forgetful of anything that wasn't written down in a book. Unless he'd done research on Adriana Winters and her evil ways? She was brilliant for all he knew.

"If I did, I certainly wouldn't be calling attention to them," Noah retorted, eyes shining with confusion at everything that was happening. This would normally be the sort of think that would drive him mental, in the sense that he'd immediately be attracted to the idea of an honest statement somehow being twisted into a seductive remark. It was mind boggling, whatever had taken hold of him, and yet... he wasn't bothering to ask himself questions.

What did it matter if he wasn't normally this smooth? Who cared if there was a chance that she was a trollop and Noah had begged Troy not to let him get caught up with one? Why should he worry about the fact he'd still not figured out a drying charm would come in handy right about now?

Noah's eyes widened with the shock of her lips on his before they lazily fell shut and he was stopped from staring so much at her facial features. This would, of course, be the part where he became frightened and broke away, squeaking out a pathetic excuse and rushing for his common room - but that was everyday Noah. Today he was soaking wet, charming, flirtatious Noah - and he had different plans. He carefully placed one arm around her waist, his other hand reaching up to cup her cheek as his lips gently moved against hers.

[adriana_winters]

Adriana was brilliant, thank you. Really, she was quite smart, just didn't put it to as much use as she could. Besides, one could still be intelligent and also be evil! So what if she planned on becoming a death eater and had no issues with killing off all the mudbloods? It didn't make her daft.

Besides this unknown potion that her and Noah were sprayed with, if it weren't for the addition of her being currently furious with her usual favourite snog buddies, Adriana most definitely would be questioning this situation more and would not be snogging just anyone. She didn't know what was coming over her or why she was felt oddly attracted to Noah right now - because she wasn't thinking about that. She was getting whiny over no snogs recently, and here was Noah being all flirty. Perfect solution!

She will definitely be wanting to hex herself tomorrow.

Not that she was waiting for a response, Adriana cracked a slight smirk against Noah's lips as she felt him kiss her back, taking that as only a good sign and deepening the snog a bit more. Sliding her hand back further from his cheek, she moved it slowly across his jaw and to the back of his neck.

[noah_ogilvy]

Noah had meant brilliant in a more general way, not necessarily relating it to intelligence. Of course she was smart, she was a prefect. Oh wait, no, they'd already gone over the whole conspiracy theory of prefectdom. Well, he could easily believe that Adriana had some common sense at least. He definitely wasn't going to be happy to find out she was a bloody DEATH EATER, but... well, that required some smarts, didn't it? Bugger.

Oh, if only she hadn't been furious with her normal snog buddies! At least, that is what Noah would be thinking later, when he was flailing about and complaining to anyone who would listen. In fact, not too long from now, Noah would be rushing into his dormitory screaming in a high-pitched shrieking voice "I'VE BEEN SEDUCED BY A TROLLOP" until Troy... attempted to calm him. Or laughed at him. Either way, there would be much kicking of himself.

But as for the moment? Noah Ogilvy might have been picky about birds normally, and hell... he was shy, reserved, and generally terrible at flirting, but he was a BLOKE and a TEENAGE one at that. If he even pretended that he didn't have hormones, he'd be the biggest liar on the planet.

He was snogging an attractive and wet girl. Who, even in their right mind, would find time to question that completely? Bloody hell, he'd been without snogging for months, and his body was definitely aware of it now.

He shivered as her hand slid across his jaw, possibly because he was still freezing and damp, but shiver he did. He'd completely forgotten what he'd originally been in the corridor for, he was just too swept up in the feel of Adriana against his lips. He pressed himself a bit tighter against her, sliding his hand into her wet hair as he picked up the pace.

Oh merlin, Noah Ogilvy was getting snogged! Would have been a cause for celebration, if he... fancied the girl in the slightest. Shame.

[adriana_winters]

Well, Adriana wasn't a death eater NOW, but she most definitely had plans on becoming one after graduating from Hogwarts. It did require some level of smarts, and she was more than confident than she was ambitious, cunning, and intelligent enough for that kind of job.

It was the people who didn't like Adriana that believed she was some trollop. For the most part, it was just an act. Yes, she loved snogging - entirely true - but there was a whole lot more to her than just a 'trollop' exterior. Something that most people didn't see.

Of course, she'd use that to her advantage.

Maybe it was something like a week and a half since she'd snogged - but for Adriana Winters, it felt like a bloody month!

Oh, the exact cause of it didn't really matter, Adriana felt him shiver and she reveled in it. She may have been influenced by tainted water, but she was still Adriana, and that fierce dominating side was beginning to kick in as Noah picked up the pace of their snog.

Adriana easily matched it, snaking both arms up around to the back of his neck, sighing against his mouth when he slid his hand into her hair. Oi. Being wet really wasn't so bad anymore!

There was something about protecting the school vaguely in the back of her mind, but that was more than easily pushed away further. This was a snog, and a fairly good one at that. Shut up brain, please and thanks.

A shame it was! Here were two rather good looking individuals enjoying a nice snog, and sadly neither was in their right own state of mind and would never be doing this otherwise. Neither even liked each other. Pity!
