Instead of going straight to her next lesson, Demi had opted to hide away behind the staircase at the furthest end of the floor, waiting for the last three students to exit the classroom. She was much too curious to know what had happened after she left the dungeon, and was determined to hear it as soon as it was over with. From her position, she saw as Beatrice hurriedly left the premises (Demi clenched her teeth at the sight of her), as did Kalder less than five minutes later. Finally, it was Noel’s turn to leave, and as he unknowingly approached Demi’s hiding spot, she jumped out to intercept him.

[color=darkred]“Come here for a second!”[/color] she whispered, grabbed Noel’s arm and dragged him to the back of the staircase where she had been previously hiding. Once they were safely away from any prying eyes, she looked up at him with an apologetic expression, biting her lip. [color=darkred]“Look, I’m sorry about what happened back there,”[/color] she began, pouting a little as a way to low-key be more believable. [color=darkred]“I was acting stupid and not thinking things through. I didn’t mean to hurt you in any way, so I’m sorry about the hostility.”[/color]


A rather naughty thought had crossed Noel’s mind when he realized they were out of sight, but Demi unfortunately put that thought in the ground as she would apologize. As much as he wanted to forgive and forget, having Kalder question him got under his skin. “[color=green]I just want to understand what’s going on,[/color]” He would admit, shrugging. “[color=green]I thought we had a good thing going.[/color]” 

Demi sighed, a guilty look on her face now. Shit, this wasn’t the way she wanted things to go. In fact, this was the one thing she was afraid of: that her past with Kalder fucked up her present with Noel, even if their involvement wasn't serious. Luckily for her -and judging by the way the blond male wasn't leaving or cutting things off- it seemed that not all hope was lost yet… Right?

Demi let out a sigh. [color=darkred]“We do, Noel, we do…”[/color] she said in a soft tone, wrapping her arms around him as she stared into his eyes, lower lip still being bitten -a trick she’d come to notice worked really well when she was trying to get on his ‘good side’ [s]AKA seduce him so he would do what she wanted[/s]. [color=darkred]“There’s nothing going on, I promise. Some things are just best left unsaid and forgotten.”[/color]

Going straight for the kill, was she? He still wanted to know what was going on, but her lips were literally calling for his, making the situation very difficult to handle. He inhaled through his nose in an attempt to calm himself down. “[color=green]I don’t want you to be looking at him,[/color]” He murmured, staring into her eyes. “[color=green]I want you all to myself.[/color]”

At his words, Demi’s eyes widened, mouth slightly agape. She didn’t know just how much two sentences said in such a way were capable of getting someone’s knees weak- like hers were at the moment. The fact that [i]the[/i] Noel Jameson -the Slytherin Casanova that had gaggles of girls coming for him left, right and center- was actually feeling jealous and possessive of [i]her[/i] of all people, sent all kinds of good feelings down her body. The brunette had never felt so wanted; not even back with the guy Noel was referring to. For once, Kalder Sigourney was the last thing on her mind.

She didn’t really realize how or when, but the next thing she knew, Demi found herself pinning Noel against the wall with her body and greedily pressing her lips against his. The young man was pleasantly surprised by her sudden change in mood, sparks bouncing off the walls as the pair enveloped each other in a fiery mix of lust and touch. Eventually, they broke up, both pairs of eyes clouded with desire.

[color=darkred]“You wanna skip again?”[/color] she asked Noel breathlessly, arms still wrapped tightly around him.

Gazing into her eyes, a rather mischievous smile traced his lips, although he ended up kissing her again, only breaking apart to tell her, "[color=green]As long as you don't mind a little catching up.[/color]"

Demetria let out a giggle, immediately catching the reference her partner was making. [color=darkred]“Of course not.”[/color] she muttered suggestively, kissing him once more before pulling him by the hand. [color=darkred]“Let’s go, then. I’ll leave first, you follow in a bit.”[/color]

Noel gave her that sly smile that drove her crazy before nodding. [color=green]“Got it.”[/color]

Holding hands, the pair left their hiding place and made their way out of the dungeons. They exchanged one last kiss before Noel stayed back and Demi moved further. However, their plans were soon put to a halt.

[b]“Miss Graves?”[/b] a voice called out to Demi as she was about to reach the castle’s double doors. When she turned to see who was addressing her, her heart sank at the sight of none other than Professor Splendora: the Transfigurations master. And she wasn’t looking very pleased. [b]“You’re supposed to be in my classroom. Where are you headed?”[/b]

Thinking on the spot, Demi held her ground. [color=darkred]“My apologies, Professor. My classmates were concerned about your absence and I volunteered to find you.”[/color] she said convincingly, an innocent look on her face.

Splendora wasn’t impressed, because her face remained as stern as her tone of voice. [b]“As much as I appreciate the concern from yourself and your classmates, I suggest you follow me to class before I take points from your House.”[/b]

Demi nodded vigorously. [color=darkred]“Yes, ma’am.”[/color]

The Professor motioned to the girl to follow her. Shooting an apologetic look at where Noel was hiding, the Gryffindor didn’t have any other choice but to follow Splendora back to the Transfiguration classroom.
