/o/ SO FASHIONABLE BB

The close contact produced another bright flush of the sort that had propelled the Slytherin lad to an in-house infamy during his first years at Hogwarts. Never took much to get the tiny Latvian to light up brighter than a 'lumos' charm and several times every other day, snake, raven, badger or lion, his fellow witches and wizards would try to see just how red they could get him before he subtly cursed their homework. A game for the bored, one Raivis tried desperately to avoid when Ivan was not around to stop it.

He stared down into the cauldron intently, stilling his trembling, willing the heat in his cheeks to go away. Had to stir counterclockwise very carefully for this particular brew, such an instruction he murmured softly to Mei as she spoke of sibling affection and the lament of contact with her 'one true love'.

Cute if not a little misguided. Raivis would have offered a suggestion had she not returned to a tangent that made him sputter and nearly slash the ladle through the mixture. The pigment emerging across his features was just as vibrant as the proud, deep crimson of their rivals' colors. "H-he..." It took all of his concentration to stay his hand, keep the circular motion smooth. "He's brave...a-and maybe a little brash but he... he's different than everyone else. He's not afraid of anything- though that's a bit of a problem, but he's so naive and pure hearted I just want to...to..."

"You just want to... what?"

Thus appeared the familiar grin on the Asian's face that made her infamous around these parts. She danced her fingers in waltz on Raivis' slender back, teasing and tensing certain muscles that she knew would get a reaction out of the potioneer.

"Talk to him?" she whispered, almost seductively if it weren't for the mischievous smile on those pink lips. "Touch him? Hold him? Hug him? Kiss him? Oh, if he's anything like that Ravenclaw brother of his, I bet he's quite the kisser~"

Mei leaned on Raivis' shoulder like the serpent that she was. Still with that sly grin, she said, "Have you ever tried to... you know... Let him know?"

[man_nav_naudas]

"M-mei."

Raivis had no inclination to think about Dewi Ainsworth kissing anyone. He didn't want to dwell on tucking his chin against a crown of bright blonde hair or curling his arms around a slightly smaller form. Not touching- as he sometimes did in minor, fleeting ways- or hugging -more often, as of late, lingering- or kissing -most frequent, always in dreams. It was his fellow Slytherin making him involuntarily shiver, not Peter. Not yet-?

The ladle remained on its course, round and round, and Raivis swallowed hard against the anxiousness wedging in his throat; a deadly, immobile force.

She was so close, whispering such pretty words. The question felt like a trap, but he tumbled into it anyway. "I'm not sure he would u-understand. Don't you think maybe he would be a little disturbed by it? That his friend -male friend- was fantasizing about- about pushing him against a wall and begging him to- to do heinous things. I love him so much I don't want him to h-hate me because I..."

The boy shook his head. "Overstepped some boundaries. Unless...Unless maybe I'm over thinking this. The 'secret' you mentioned. W-what is it?"

[meiume]

Mei's heart swelled with proud knowledge that she had met the little Slytherin blush as red as the potion before them. Her long and perfectly shaped fingers combed through Raivis' tangled hair, like serpents looking for an invisible mouse to dine.

"Raivis~ You're so cute! I just want to tie you up and eat you~ Ah, but, I'm sure the Gryffindor would love to do the same. After all, who could resist you~?"

With a nudge, Mei at last released her victim from her crushing clutch. She leaned over the cauldron, fascinated by the explosion of colors - something that in all her years, she had not managed to achieve.

"You are good," she said with a grin. "And the secret~? I am not telling you until the potion is completed to work~!"
