Marcos: -arrives at the gates with a bag on his side and leans against them and pulls out his journal, writing down a partial entry of the morning so far-
12 May 13, 01:32 PM
Marcos: i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r508/shava4/trip/d61900a0-1d41-4fed-a7b4-e69f63c1f59b_zpsa2845bfb.jpg
12 May 13, 01:34 PM
Grace: She makes her way through the crowd and spots Marcos at the gate. She walks up to him and smiles. "Hey!" she greets happily. [[ look: www.whedon.info/IMG/jpg/rachel-bilson-los-angeles-photoshoot-october-8-2009-paparazzi-gq-01.jpg ]]
12 May 13, 01:34 PM
Marcos: -looks up and grins, closing the journal and putting it away- Morning! Nice dress, very sunny! -holds out a hand for her- And how are you today?
12 May 13, 01:35 PM
Grace: "Thanks!" she says, a grin on her lips. "I'm great, how are you?"
12 May 13, 01:36 PM
Marcos: it's been pretty good so far, although the fact I have a date means two others are trying to find reasons to bring girls into Hogsmeade today -rolls eyes and laughs- So if I see them i may be avoiding noticing. Fortunately I'll have someone very distracting with me so it should be fine -grins, starts to lead the way into Hogsmeade- Bookstore first I assume?
12 May 13, 01:38 PM
Grace: "Really? Don't you think you'd rather show them your date's way better than theirs?" she says playfully, obviously teasing. Her cheeks flush as he implies she'll be distracting him and she bites her lip as she walks with him. "Sure, I'm always down to go to the bookstore!" she says enthusiastically.
12 May 13, 01:45 PM
Marcos: -gives her an evaluating look- Well I will admit she does seem to be much more social at the moment, maybe the dress seems more empowering -grin grows- but since I suspect she will have her eyes too much on books in a bit I'll have to see when they show up. -teasing, just before the bookshop door he stops and looks at her face more so- I'd swear though, that dress might have some magic to it; your face does seem to be lit up suddenly. I like it! You should be this way more often, I certainly would have noticed you sooner then this!
12 May 13, 01:48 PM
Grace: She smirks and then gives a small shrug. "I guess I'm more social when I'm around the right company," she tells him, giving him a compliment in her own way. "I really do love this dress, though I wouldn't want anyone to think I was a Hufflefluff!" she jokes. "I'm just kidding, but really... I like it a lot, so thank you," she says with a smile. "Don't worry I won't lose myself in the books... we are on a date after all," she says playfully, then winks. She looks at him and pays closer attention to his facial features. "You have a nice smile."
12 May 13, 01:55 PM
Marcos: -a small bow at the compliment- Oh i like the sound of that! And yes, it has that look of different without being too wild in the design -uses the excuse talking about it to look down her figure, but he's not really looking at the dress so much- I promise I won't think of you as a badger -laughs- Oh now that gets you a reward, -opens the door for her to enter first- because anyone who likes smiles needs to be rewarded for having good taste. What section did you want to start in?
12 May 13, 02:01 PM
Grace: She nods to him in acknowledgement. "Well thank you very much," she says with a laugh. "And what reward would that be?" she asks curiously, thanking him as she walked through the door. "We could always start in the fantasy section?" she offers.
12 May 13, 02:08 PM
Marcos: -nods at her selection- Then let's see if we can find something there you have not read yet. I think you need to show me what you like in literature -smiles and motions for her to lead the way graciously- and the reward will come after you find one. It is supposed to be a surprise in this case...
12 May 13, 02:10 PM
Grace: She walks through the store and smiles, loving the smell of books in general. "Hmmm..." she ponders aloud as she browses the section. "What about this one?" she asks, holding up one to show him the cover. "Says here it's about a dragon master who goes on a quest for gold... sounds interesting enough," she muses. "Sometimes the oddest things pique my interest." She watches him discreetly as they browse around. "Finding anything you might like?" she asks.
12 May 13, 02:28 PM
Marcos: Dragon Master? if he mastered dragons, wouldn't he also have their treasures as well? -chuckles, knowing real dragons didn't collect gold so much as eggs- Could be good, depends on the plot I guess. This one says it's about a wizard has to go undercover as a witch to investigate a "diabolical den of Dark wizards" -chuckles as he makes the quotation marks in the air with his fingers- to save his missing wife. I think the back cover sounds more entertaining then the inside possibly with those words! -smiles as he glances over at her- Might be a romance trying to hide in the fiction section.
12 May 13, 02:59 PM
Grace: Her interest is highly piqued at his description of the book he was holding. She absentmindedly set hers down and gravitated to him. "Oh really? That one actually sounds like it might be worth reading," she smiles. "Care to find out?" she asks, holding her hand out to see if he'll hand her the book.
12 May 13, 03:12 PM
Marcos: -her interest in the book made him raise an eyebrow- Do you know a quick method? -he let her have the book from his hands, curious- Or are you offering to read it out loud to me? -his eyes met hers, showing his thoughts that this could be interesting-
12 May 13, 03:14 PM
Grace: "Both," she smirks. She mutters a spell, her wand pointed to the book and after a moment, it flips itself to a page that was well passed the middle. She looks up at him with a smirk. "You really want me to read it?" she asks, hoping not because she might die of embarrassment.
12 May 13, 03:17 PM
Marcos: -eyes widening as he guessed her intention, he nodded, stepped a tad closer and turning so he could lean against the bookcase casually, but see her face entirely- I might not normally ask you to do such a thing, but you are intriguing me now. If you are up to it, feel free to read to me... -hopes to learn something about her from her reading style-
12 May 13, 03:23 PM
Grace: She eyes him and sighs deeply, knowing she may live to regret this moment but thinking 'Eh why the hell not.' She looks up at him and smirks. "No making fun of me!" she warns. "He mastered her mouth and her body until she was weeping with it. He murmured brokenly in French, and her arousal gushed through her like a tidal wave, a solid wall of incredible pleasure that took her past the point of return. Ripples of ecstasy flooded through her, changing her, making her indelibly his," she reads, then closes the book quickly, her heart racing and cheeks blushing deep pink. She avoided eye contact and handed the book back. "Welp... there ya go," she says quietly.
12 May 13, 03:28 PM
Marcos: -holding up his hands- I promise, no fun. -he listened, his eyes mischievously dancing as she read what was pure trashy fiction, the kind he usually laughed about- Interesting. -takes her hand instead of the book, trying to catch her eye- Steamy sounding, but no details. it's good fluff material though... -slides his hand to the book and releases her hand slowly and with clear interest, turns the book around, looks, and flips a page not stepping back from her, begins to read softly, recapturing her hand with his-
12 May 13, 03:33 PM
Marcos: "Aleksandr closed the gap between them and surrendered to his desire to cup her cheek. It was soft and hot beneath his fingers, a flush of color darkening her skin. He brought her head around to face him. Her eyes lingered on his lips, as though she feared meeting his. Was she still afraid of him? He stroked his fingers along the gentle slope of her jaw and then trailed them down her throat. He had never hidden his intention and he wasn’t going to start now. He wanted her to know that he was going to win her. “Let me see,” he whispered and moved around her. She stood rooted to the spot, staring ahead still, as though transfixed, and didn’t resist him." -he raised his eyes to hers, suggestively- This guy gets around a lot. he's not like me much. -smiles softly-
12 May 13, 03:35 PM
Marcos: Want me to continue? I should make sure to make up for what you had to read at least...
12 May 13, 03:36 PM
Grace: She watched his eyes as his hand reached out for the book, but felt him touching her instead. The feeling was nice, she had to admit to herself. "Uhm.. well I didn't..." she starts, until he begins to read. She listens, her eyes on him until he looks up at her. "Well that was just as innocent as what I read.... but if you want to keep going, by all means," she tells him. She enjoyed the way he read, as if it was himself in the book.
12 May 13, 03:40 PM
Marcos: -smiling, begins to run his thumb over the back of his hand as he reads, stil soft but with a bit more emotion- "Drawing a long deep breath, Aleksandr stepped up behind her. He watched his hands as he skimmed them over her arms and across her chest to the line of black buttons that ran down the middle of her jacket. When the first one gave beneath his fingers, he glanced at her throat and then looked at her face. Her eyes closed and her lips parted. He smiled and moved on to the next button. Her compliance surprised him. He had expected her to push him away by now. Had something changed in her? Aleksandr undid the last button by her waist and grazed her stomach with his thumbs as he drew her jacket open. He ran his hands up her arms to her throat and brushed it with his fingers as he slipped them into her collar. She shivered and sighed. His heart beat harder. So did hers." -grins up at her- I have an idea. Scary, i know coming from a Lion.
12 May 13, 03:42 PM
Marcos: How about I buy us this book and we can read a page at a time to each other later back at the school? That could be quite entertaining. -hesitates- or another if you like...
Grace: She closed her eyes while he read to her, seeing the words coming to life in her mind. She smiled softly and opened her eyes when he finished. "I... think that sounds lovely. Are you sure?" she asks.
12 May 13, 03:46 PM
Marcos: -still holding her hand, enjoying the feel of it and seeing the blush still in her cheeks- I'd like that if you are okay with it. I like hearing how someone reads something else, like I hear their interpretation of the words, can see it through their eyes. Makes a book come alive in a very new way.
Grace: "It'll be a new experience, but I don't mind trying new things," she tells him, her intentions completely innocent. She takes her hand back gently and reaches into her purse for a couple galleons. "I can get it, since I'll probably want to keep it after..."

12 May 13, 03:57 PM
Marcos: -smiles and stops her- No, that will be my reward. But you can't have it till we finish it, all right? -closes the book with smile- I promise not to read ahead either, that would be definitely cheating in this case... -glances up at her- So, we have a new book, maybe a tiny bit of detail leading up to the next scene, but it still sounds very...what's the word. -thinks for a second- Ah, "nebulous." That's one I don't get to use very often
Grace: She drops the coins back into her purse and smiles. "Alright if you insist," she tells him. "I think the word would be... thrilling," she says, a small smile curved up on her lips.
12 May 13, 04:00 PM
Marcos: -likes the sound of thrilling in regards to his own interests in her- Also good! So tell me, does that sound similar to the types of books you are going to show me later? or a different kind completely? -sees a book with an interesting spine and pulls it out only to see it's a misfiled manual on broomcare, sets it on the floor for the next employee to come along-
12 May 13, 04:03 PM
Grace: "Hmm it does sound a bit similar, though a girl never reveals all her secrets on the first date," she teases. "You surprise me Marcos... I wouldn't have thought you'd be the type to indulge in a romance novel!"
12 May 13, 04:11 PM
Marcos: -chuckles again- Ah, you have been listening to your siblings to get that line, -eyes laughing- First off, I'm not like most guys so you can't prejudge me much, but second I don't know that indulge is the right way to say it. Say, i think it will be a great way to learn how you see things, the way you think about reading. And that is a good thing I think! -also think it might lead up to something mor eventually, but doesn't imply that-
12 May 13, 04:19 PM
Grace: She smiles and raises her eyebrows. "I came up with that all on my own, thank you very much," she teases, but tries to think if shes ever heard Hawley say that. "I didn't mean to judge you, it was just the impression I got from speaking to you," she tells him, hoping to have not hurt his feelings somehow. "Well I tend to read books as if it were me inside them. So if it's a real steamy part, I would imagine that I'd read it aloud in the same seductive sort of voice that I her in my mind," she explains.
12 May 13, 04:30 PM
Marcos: Oh really? I've heard a lot of girls use that line on friends of mine, -chuckles- and no worries, I didn't think you meant it badly. But others have jumped to conclusions and been very surprised afterwards. I don't like being "typical" anyway, so maybe I tend towards the direction most don't expect. -thoughtful pause- How did you decide what was seductive? I was under the impression since this was the first date you hadn't heard one before, which was a bad assumption on my part, given. I'm curious about the thinking there? -looks intrigued-
12 May 13, 04:36 PM
Grace: "Well... when I'm reading I imagine the voice of the character in my mind. So when I get to a place in the book that gets sexy time, I hear a seductive tone in my mind... does that make sense?"
12 May 13, 04:46 PM
Marcos: -listens, head tilted on one side- Ah, okay. So it's what basically you think a sexy voice would sound like, not from hearing others? I guess that makes sense. Well then, we will see if it stays that way, you might start imitating me when I'm reading -teasingly- What other books do you want to look for?
12 May 13, 04:53 PM
Grace: "Yeah basically! For example..." she takes the book from him gently and opens to the page she'd been on before. She takes a deep breath and begins to read the excerpt in a breathy, sexy tone. "His tongue penetrated her moistness; his mouth sucked her tongue into his. He kissed her until she was achy, breathless and clinging to him. She pushed his jeans down his hips and cupped him with her hands," she read quietly so only he could her her. She was blushing again, this little bit having been more risque than the others. "That's what I meant," she tells him. "Hmm, I think I'll just pick up the one I was looking at before and call it good," she says as she tucks said book under her arm.
12 May 13, 05:09 PM
Marcos: -the more personal part of her reading made him lift brow but otherwise felt his breathing increase a bit- Ah I see what you mean -noticed the blush with a smile- And it begins to get a bit more detail in it too. About time. I think some authors like to use words which ar more flowery to cover up saying it straight which might prevent their books getting published. -takes the book back to pay for it up front and leads the way- Okay that will work for me!
12 May 13, 05:16 PM
Grace: "I kind of like the way they make it sound... flowery," she says, a small giggle following. "It sounds classier that way, wouldn't you agree?" she asks. They exit the shop and she turns to him. "Where to?"
12 May 13, 05:21 PM
Marcos: Classier, most definitely -chuckles- the reality is definitely not classy. -pays and exits- Well you were interested in the sweet shop so I thought that sounds like a good idea! Unless you think of another place to head...
12 May 13, 05:25 PM
Grace: "What do you mean the reality isn't classy?" she asks.
12 May 13, 05:32 PM
Marcos: -purses his lips as they walk towards the sweets store- Well, when it comes down to it, I think any description which was accurate might be too accurate for another to read or hear about. Hot, wet, and intense might be as close as i could say. it's all about touch and taste and there is no time to think about how "classy" it might look if you do it slightly differently.
12 May 13, 05:39 PM
Grace: She raised her eyebrows in surprise. He had clearly had sex, of course- it seemed like everyone had except her. "Well... I supposed I'll just have to wait and see to give I disagreement," she teases, feeling a little flustered.
12 May 13, 05:41 PM
Marcos: -chuckles and glances at her- well good for you, if you find the right person it's pretty amazing. The first time it's a total mind blower, like your entire life feels changed. -fond look on his face- You want someone who will take the time for you, though, most guys find themselves in too big a hurry to make sure the girl gets as good as she receives.
12 May 13, 05:44 PM
Grace: She feels very embarrassed by their conversation, not fully understanding what he means because she can't directly relate. "Uhm, I'll keep that in mind, thanks..." she mutters as they walk into the sweet shop.
12 May 13, 05:47 PM
Marcos: Sorry, -glances at her face- didn't mean to say too much. I just think everyone should think about the first time. It's special. -follows her inside- What kind of stuff do you usually get here?
12 May 13, 05:55 PM
Grace: She nodded at his apology and took a mental note about what he said. She could only hope that whoever she shares her first time with would treat her specially. "Hmm, I like to look at the chocolate and fruity candies," she tells him, walking towards some candied bananas.
12 May 13, 06:02 PM
Marcos: -follows- Maybe they have more chocoballs in, i love those things... -finds a stack of them and gets a bunch in a bag- I don't buy much here cause I have to work for what I get, but I like these.
12 May 13, 06:06 PM
Grace: "Oh yes, chocolate balls are delicious, but I must confess.. I also like the frogs," she says. "I usually buy quite a bit and stock up. I have a bad sweet tooth!"
12 May 13, 06:09 PM
Marcos: Mine is not too bad, depending on what is...offered up, -Nadya pops into his mind- and there are some things I can't resist, but there's something about strawberries and chocolate and creme I find really awesome. -holds up one of the chocoballs as the point-
12 May 13, 06:12 PM
Grace: "Oh yes that's a good combination," she says, thinking back to when she'd had it last at home with her family. "Well I think I'm good to go... Three Broomsticks next?" she asks.
12 May 13, 06:30 PM
Marcos: -goes and pays for his fix- Okay! Wish they did more with the bananas then they do. I had some caramelized ones this summer and they were amazing...
12 May 13, 06:33 PM
Grace: "I'm a chocolate kind of girl... give me something dipped in chocolate and I'm happy," she tells him, a smile on her face. She pays and leaves the store with him. "Well we haven't run into one of your brothers yet... should I count this as good?" she asks curiously.
12 May 13, 06:35 PM
Marcos: -nods- I was half expecting them in the sweet shop, I doubt only Maddox would go to the bookstore. Probably waiting for me in the sports places, thinking I would insist on us dropping by. -grins- I like the idea of letting them wonder. -laughs- I'll remember the chocolate part. Shall we go have lunch?
12 May 13, 06:40 PM
Grace: She smiles, listening to him talking about his brothers. "Well good, letting them wonder might also let them know they're not in control, hmm?" she says.
12 May 13, 06:42 PM
Grace: "Lunch sounds lovely. I skipped breakfast so I'm ready for some food," she says with a smile.
12 May 13, 06:43 PM
Marcos: I sure hope so -laughs, then looks concerned- What? Now why did you do that silly? -takes her arm playfully- maybe I'd better support you so you don't fall over from faintness as we enter? -grins-
12 May 13, 06:45 PM
Grace: She giggles at his silly tone. "Hey when a girl's got a hot date, she takes her time getting ready!" she teases. She smiles as he takes her arm and nods. "Thank you... such a gentleman," she comments as they enter the Three Broomsticks.
12 May 13, 06:48 PM
Marcos: -enjoys her giggle- Anyone ever tell you your giggle is adorable? -grins- I do my best, Mama says I am her only gentleman out of the lot. -winks and finds a corner table out of sight from the door while looking to make sure he doesn't see his brothers-
12 May 13, 06:54 PM
Grace: She blushes and giggles more, unintentionally, but it's still cute. "Thank you," she says shyly. As they sit, she gets comfortable and her eyes scan the room for any sign of Hawley or, most especially, Logan. "This is cozy," she comments with a smile.
12 May 13, 06:56 PM
Marcos: -enjoys them more- Man, I need to find more ways to make you do that. -sees waitress on her way over- Hope you know what you want in this cozy corner
12 May 13, 07:00 PM
Grace: She finds herself smiling again as the waitress comes up to them. "I'll take a pot pie with apricots and a butterbeer please," she orders, knowing what she wanted already.
12 May 13, 07:01 PM
Marcos: I'll have a small ploughman's and a Peachtree please. - harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Peachtree_Fizzing_Tea -
12 May 13, 07:04 PM
Marcos: -pays-
12 May 13, 07:05 PM
Grace: She watches as the woman walks away. "Thank you," she tells him. "I like coming here," she comments.
12 May 13, 07:08 PM
Marcos: It's always busy it seems too -seeing a mix of adults and students- I think we beat most of the crowd though which is good and this table only seats two comfortably -grins- so I have any unexpected visitors foiled.
12 May 13, 07:10 PM
Grace: "Yeah, good thing too... cuz I would hate for my brother to come embarrass me honestly," she confesses. "It's a nice table.."
12 May 13, 07:12 PM
Marcos: Oh? -gives her a quizzical look- Does he not know about this? -sets his purchases beside him and gives her a curious look- Or is he just the over protective type?
12 May 13, 07:21 PM
Grace: "A little of both I think. I didn't tell him about today, and he's very protective of me and our sister," she explains.
12 May 13, 07:24 PM
Marcos: -smiles reassuringly- Ah that's easy then. Just tell him we're class partners and we went to Hogsmeade together. He doesn't have to know it's a date if he causes trouble, right? -pats her hand- I'll be willing to pretend if you need me too.
12 May 13, 07:27 PM
Grace: "Oh no that's okay... he needs to deal with me having a life anyways," she teases. "He probably wouldn't be too happy but tough cookie for him, right?"
12 May 13, 07:28 PM
Marcos: -grins happily- Ah cool! Would hate for you to have to have an argument on your first ever date after all, that just seems a bit evil.
12 May 13, 07:31 PM
Grace: She laughs and shakes her head. "Well no worries, I don't see him here so we're in the clear for now!"
12 May 13, 08:26 PM
Marcos: -drinks come back- Well, do you have any questions for me? or shall I ask you ones instead?
12 May 13, 08:28 PM
Grace: She looks surprised for a moment. "Did you have something you wanted to ask me?" she asks curiously. "Thank you," she says to the waitress, smiling up at her.
12 May 13, 08:29 PM
Marcos: -smiles back- Well more to start a conversation I think since we are supposed to use the opportunity to learn more about each other. -takes a sip of the bubbly- So I could ask you about who you're friends are and why you like being with them in particular....
12 May 13, 08:31 PM
Grace: "Well I'm really close to my sister Hawley and my cousins Lux and Kinley," she tells him. "Do you know them?"
12 May 13, 08:34 PM
Marcos: -grins- Well you asked if I knew the loud ones and i did say yes, but the other I'm not sure of.
12 May 13, 08:35 PM
Marcos: Sounds more like family then friends though.
12 May 13, 08:35 PM
Grace: "Well, I'm also friends with Amy Bell and Sarah McKnight from my house... they're probably the closest to best friends who are unrelated," she says, giggling. "What about you?"
12 May 13, 08:44 PM
Marcos: Nadya, who you've met, -counts off on fingers and names about a dozen people most of them female- Most of the rest of my close friends I only see in the summertime. -shrugs- I make friends pretty easy, but I don't tend to hang around a lot of guys.
12 May 13, 08:46 PM
Grace: She nods. "Yeah Nadya's like family. Her mom and my mom are really good friends," she explains, in case he didn't know. "I know a lot of people and I would say I have a good number of both guy and girl friends, but honestly my family are who I'm closest with," she tells him, sipping her butterbeer. "What do you like to do in your spare time... besides reading the naughty bits of romantic novels on first dates?" she asks curiously.
12 May 13, 08:53 PM
Marcos: -nods, not having known this about Nadya- Well mostly I go outside. This is one area my brothers and i disagree on. They like sports. I like individuals stuff, like outside canoeing and hiking and climbing and such. They say it isn't a sport and i say that's the point -makes a face- What do you do besides read a lot?
Grace: "Oh the outdoors are great. I love to swim and hike... canoeing I've never tried," she tells him. "Besides reading? Oh I like to cook and shop, and sometimes I like to draw if I can..." she says, taking another drink.
12 May 13, 09:20 PM
Marcos: See? They don't get that! And we don't have any good hiking spots here cause the woods are too close. I asked one of the profs about it and he told me he'd tan my hide if I went anywhere near them looking for trails. -looks grumpy- maybe we can meet up sometime in the summer for a hike or so. Would you like that? -sees the food coming over- Cooking is a good thing to know -avoiding the shop word- ...especially if you can learn to make these! -drools as food put down-
12 May 13, 09:25 PM
Marcos: mndinner.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/pie-in-progress.jpg
12 May 13, 09:27 PM
Grace: She nods, knowing his frustration. "I know, but at least there's quidditch and the lake... I mean those are better than nothing!" she says, happy as the food arrives. She eyes her potpie and begins to eat. "Yeah we could definitely do that.. where do you live?"
12 May 13, 09:44 PM
Marcos: thank goodness! -pulls his ploughman's over and inhales deeply- Ah well we have a place here in England, but we spend time over in America too. It's kinda a back and forth thing. We live in New York originally.
12 May 13, 09:52 PM
Grace: "Wow, a lot of places... We live in Belfast," she tells him.
12 May 13, 09:56 PM
Marcos: Nice! -takes another bite- We have never stayed in one place a lot. Mama likes moving and sometimes i wonder if she is trying to avoid someone. -frowns-
12 May 13, 09:59 PM
Brody: As he sat not really noticing the crowd he ordered himself a beer, keeping it pretty light tonihg. Maybe a hangover tomorrow wasn't a good idea. After the waitress left his table though, he noticed once he turned to his right two tables over Grace was sitting with....who the heck was that? He squinted a bit and then realized, he was one of those mischievous triplets. He tried to turn away, but it seemed impossible.
12 May 13, 10:00 PM
Grace: "Really? Do you like all the traveling or does it take its toll?" she asks curiously, having only ever known one home. "I mean... who do you think she would be trying to avoid?"
12 May 13, 10:02 PM
Marcos: -snorts- My father probably. We've never met him. -grimaces- She won't tell us his name even, but the traveling is good. Every place is different and unique. I like that part, it just makes me suspicious. All of us.
12 May 13, 10:03 PM
Grace: "Really? Is he a... bad man?" she asks, looking around to make sure no one is eavesdropping. She spots Brody as she's looking and turns pink suddenly, avoiding eye contact with both him and Marcos for the moment.
12 May 13, 10:05 PM
Marcos: I don't know anything. Seriously. i know he was male. -smirks and eats more missing her look around- I just...wish we knew something. -looks up at her, frowns- hey, is everything okay?
12 May 13, 10:08 PM
Brody: His gaze still towards Grace, he noticed her eyes meet his for only a brief moment and she turned away. Oh..she saw him. He could tell by the slight change in color of her cheeks. Though Brody couldn't really understand why he cared. SHe said she had some date..right? And he was her professor nothing more....it's not like he was jealous or anything. And they weren't touching or anything anyway.
Grace: "Hmm well being a male would be a great guess," she says, laughing. She looks up at him and her eyes meet with his. "My pie was hot, sorry," she lied easily. She went back to eating, and when she was sure he was paying attention to his food, she let her gaze wander back over to her professor. She saw him looking at her and quickly changed the subject. "So Marcos, what sort of things are you competitive with your brothers over?" she asks.
12 May 13, 10:12 PM
Marcos: -chuckles himself at her laugh- Oh. Well blow on it first, silly, you know how to do that right? Blow? -picks up his fok and demonstrates laughter in his eyes-, then eats some more-
12 May 13, 10:15 PM
Grace: She giggles girlishly at his demonstration. "Like this?" she a sked, bringing her lips close to her spoon and blowing gently on her steaming food before placing it in her mouth.
12 May 13, 10:17 PM
Marcos: -visibly applauds- Good job! Must keep yourself from getting burned! -laughs-
12 May 13, 10:18 PM
Grace: She smiles at him and continues to eat.
12 May 13, 10:18 PM
Marcos: As to my brothers, everything. They would compete if i at emy food faster then thm. it doesnt really take anything
12 May 13, 10:19 PM
Grace: "I can't imagine that much competition... I don't know how you could deal with that," she says.
12 May 13, 10:20 PM
Brody: His eyes widened as he he saw Grace slowly blowing the food and placing her mouth on it. Was she doing..that...seductively or something? Or was he just seeing it that way? He gulped slightly and was interrupted by the waitress bringing his beer over. He nodded grabbing the bottle and take a few gulps, turning his attention back to her.
12 May 13, 10:21 PM
Marcos: Well I was bor with it you could say -makes a face- that's why it's nioce to avoid them for a bit and be here with you. You are a good distraction, especially in that dress. -smiles-
12 May 13, 10:22 PM
12 May 13, 01:32 PM
Marcos: i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r508/shava4/trip/d61900a0-1d41-4fed-a7b4-e69f63c1f59b_zpsa2845bfb.jpg
12 May 13, 01:34 PM
Grace: She makes her way through the crowd and spots Marcos at the gate. She walks up to him and smiles. "Hey!" she greets happily. [[ look: www.whedon.info/IMG/jpg/rachel-bilson-los-angeles-photoshoot-october-8-2009-paparazzi-gq-01.jpg ]]
12 May 13, 01:34 PM
Marcos: -looks up and grins, closing the journal and putting it away- Morning! Nice dress, very sunny! -holds out a hand for her- And how are you today?
12 May 13, 01:35 PM
Grace: "Thanks!" she says, a grin on her lips. "I'm great, how are you?"
12 May 13, 01:36 PM
Marcos: it's been pretty good so far, although the fact I have a date means two others are trying to find reasons to bring girls into Hogsmeade today -rolls eyes and laughs- So if I see them i may be avoiding noticing. Fortunately I'll have someone very distracting with me so it should be fine -grins, starts to lead the way into Hogsmeade- Bookstore first I assume?
12 May 13, 01:38 PM
Grace: "Really? Don't you think you'd rather show them your date's way better than theirs?" she says playfully, obviously teasing. Her cheeks flush as he implies she'll be distracting him and she bites her lip as she walks with him. "Sure, I'm always down to go to the bookstore!" she says enthusiastically.
12 May 13, 01:45 PM
Marcos: -gives her an evaluating look- Well I will admit she does seem to be much more social at the moment, maybe the dress seems more empowering -grin grows- but since I suspect she will have her eyes too much on books in a bit I'll have to see when they show up. -teasing, just before the bookshop door he stops and looks at her face more so- I'd swear though, that dress might have some magic to it; your face does seem to be lit up suddenly. I like it! You should be this way more often, I certainly would have noticed you sooner then this!
12 May 13, 01:48 PM
Grace: She smirks and then gives a small shrug. "I guess I'm more social when I'm around the right company," she tells him, giving him a compliment in her own way. "I really do love this dress, though I wouldn't want anyone to think I was a Hufflefluff!" she jokes. "I'm just kidding, but really... I like it a lot, so thank you," she says with a smile. "Don't worry I won't lose myself in the books... we are on a date after all," she says playfully, then winks. She looks at him and pays closer attention to his facial features. "You have a nice smile."
12 May 13, 01:55 PM
Marcos: -a small bow at the compliment- Oh i like the sound of that! And yes, it has that look of different without being too wild in the design -uses the excuse talking about it to look down her figure, but he's not really looking at the dress so much- I promise I won't think of you as a badger -laughs- Oh now that gets you a reward, -opens the door for her to enter first- because anyone who likes smiles needs to be rewarded for having good taste. What section did you want to start in?
12 May 13, 02:01 PM
Grace: She nods to him in acknowledgement. "Well thank you very much," she says with a laugh. "And what reward would that be?" she asks curiously, thanking him as she walked through the door. "We could always start in the fantasy section?" she offers.
12 May 13, 02:08 PM
Marcos: -nods at her selection- Then let's see if we can find something there you have not read yet. I think you need to show me what you like in literature -smiles and motions for her to lead the way graciously- and the reward will come after you find one. It is supposed to be a surprise in this case...
12 May 13, 02:10 PM
Grace: She walks through the store and smiles, loving the smell of books in general. "Hmmm..." she ponders aloud as she browses the section. "What about this one?" she asks, holding up one to show him the cover. "Says here it's about a dragon master who goes on a quest for gold... sounds interesting enough," she muses. "Sometimes the oddest things pique my interest." She watches him discreetly as they browse around. "Finding anything you might like?" she asks.
12 May 13, 02:28 PM
Marcos: Dragon Master? if he mastered dragons, wouldn't he also have their treasures as well? -chuckles, knowing real dragons didn't collect gold so much as eggs- Could be good, depends on the plot I guess. This one says it's about a wizard has to go undercover as a witch to investigate a "diabolical den of Dark wizards" -chuckles as he makes the quotation marks in the air with his fingers- to save his missing wife. I think the back cover sounds more entertaining then the inside possibly with those words! -smiles as he glances over at her- Might be a romance trying to hide in the fiction section.
12 May 13, 02:59 PM
Grace: Her interest is highly piqued at his description of the book he was holding. She absentmindedly set hers down and gravitated to him. "Oh really? That one actually sounds like it might be worth reading," she smiles. "Care to find out?" she asks, holding her hand out to see if he'll hand her the book.
12 May 13, 03:12 PM
Marcos: -her interest in the book made him raise an eyebrow- Do you know a quick method? -he let her have the book from his hands, curious- Or are you offering to read it out loud to me? -his eyes met hers, showing his thoughts that this could be interesting-
12 May 13, 03:14 PM
Grace: "Both," she smirks. She mutters a spell, her wand pointed to the book and after a moment, it flips itself to a page that was well passed the middle. She looks up at him with a smirk. "You really want me to read it?" she asks, hoping not because she might die of embarrassment.
12 May 13, 03:17 PM
Marcos: -eyes widening as he guessed her intention, he nodded, stepped a tad closer and turning so he could lean against the bookcase casually, but see her face entirely- I might not normally ask you to do such a thing, but you are intriguing me now. If you are up to it, feel free to read to me... -hopes to learn something about her from her reading style-
12 May 13, 03:23 PM
Grace: She eyes him and sighs deeply, knowing she may live to regret this moment but thinking 'Eh why the hell not.' She looks up at him and smirks. "No making fun of me!" she warns. "He mastered her mouth and her body until she was weeping with it. He murmured brokenly in French, and her arousal gushed through her like a tidal wave, a solid wall of incredible pleasure that took her past the point of return. Ripples of ecstasy flooded through her, changing her, making her indelibly his," she reads, then closes the book quickly, her heart racing and cheeks blushing deep pink. She avoided eye contact and handed the book back. "Welp... there ya go," she says quietly.
12 May 13, 03:28 PM
Marcos: -holding up his hands- I promise, no fun. -he listened, his eyes mischievously dancing as she read what was pure trashy fiction, the kind he usually laughed about- Interesting. -takes her hand instead of the book, trying to catch her eye- Steamy sounding, but no details. it's good fluff material though... -slides his hand to the book and releases her hand slowly and with clear interest, turns the book around, looks, and flips a page not stepping back from her, begins to read softly, recapturing her hand with his-
12 May 13, 03:33 PM
Marcos: "Aleksandr closed the gap between them and surrendered to his desire to cup her cheek. It was soft and hot beneath his fingers, a flush of color darkening her skin. He brought her head around to face him. Her eyes lingered on his lips, as though she feared meeting his. Was she still afraid of him? He stroked his fingers along the gentle slope of her jaw and then trailed them down her throat. He had never hidden his intention and he wasn’t going to start now. He wanted her to know that he was going to win her. “Let me see,” he whispered and moved around her. She stood rooted to the spot, staring ahead still, as though transfixed, and didn’t resist him." -he raised his eyes to hers, suggestively- This guy gets around a lot. he's not like me much. -smiles softly-
12 May 13, 03:35 PM
Marcos: Want me to continue? I should make sure to make up for what you had to read at least...
12 May 13, 03:36 PM
Grace: She watched his eyes as his hand reached out for the book, but felt him touching her instead. The feeling was nice, she had to admit to herself. "Uhm.. well I didn't..." she starts, until he begins to read. She listens, her eyes on him until he looks up at her. "Well that was just as innocent as what I read.... but if you want to keep going, by all means," she tells him. She enjoyed the way he read, as if it was himself in the book.
12 May 13, 03:40 PM
Marcos: -smiling, begins to run his thumb over the back of his hand as he reads, stil soft but with a bit more emotion- "Drawing a long deep breath, Aleksandr stepped up behind her. He watched his hands as he skimmed them over her arms and across her chest to the line of black buttons that ran down the middle of her jacket. When the first one gave beneath his fingers, he glanced at her throat and then looked at her face. Her eyes closed and her lips parted. He smiled and moved on to the next button. Her compliance surprised him. He had expected her to push him away by now. Had something changed in her? Aleksandr undid the last button by her waist and grazed her stomach with his thumbs as he drew her jacket open. He ran his hands up her arms to her throat and brushed it with his fingers as he slipped them into her collar. She shivered and sighed. His heart beat harder. So did hers." -grins up at her- I have an idea. Scary, i know coming from a Lion.
12 May 13, 03:42 PM
Marcos: How about I buy us this book and we can read a page at a time to each other later back at the school? That could be quite entertaining. -hesitates- or another if you like...
Grace: She closed her eyes while he read to her, seeing the words coming to life in her mind. She smiled softly and opened her eyes when he finished. "I... think that sounds lovely. Are you sure?" she asks.
12 May 13, 03:46 PM
Marcos: -still holding her hand, enjoying the feel of it and seeing the blush still in her cheeks- I'd like that if you are okay with it. I like hearing how someone reads something else, like I hear their interpretation of the words, can see it through their eyes. Makes a book come alive in a very new way.
Grace: "It'll be a new experience, but I don't mind trying new things," she tells him, her intentions completely innocent. She takes her hand back gently and reaches into her purse for a couple galleons. "I can get it, since I'll probably want to keep it after..."

12 May 13, 03:57 PM
Marcos: -smiles and stops her- No, that will be my reward. But you can't have it till we finish it, all right? -closes the book with smile- I promise not to read ahead either, that would be definitely cheating in this case... -glances up at her- So, we have a new book, maybe a tiny bit of detail leading up to the next scene, but it still sounds very...what's the word. -thinks for a second- Ah, "nebulous." That's one I don't get to use very often
Grace: She drops the coins back into her purse and smiles. "Alright if you insist," she tells him. "I think the word would be... thrilling," she says, a small smile curved up on her lips.
12 May 13, 04:00 PM
Marcos: -likes the sound of thrilling in regards to his own interests in her- Also good! So tell me, does that sound similar to the types of books you are going to show me later? or a different kind completely? -sees a book with an interesting spine and pulls it out only to see it's a misfiled manual on broomcare, sets it on the floor for the next employee to come along-
12 May 13, 04:03 PM
Grace: "Hmm it does sound a bit similar, though a girl never reveals all her secrets on the first date," she teases. "You surprise me Marcos... I wouldn't have thought you'd be the type to indulge in a romance novel!"
12 May 13, 04:11 PM
Marcos: -chuckles again- Ah, you have been listening to your siblings to get that line, -eyes laughing- First off, I'm not like most guys so you can't prejudge me much, but second I don't know that indulge is the right way to say it. Say, i think it will be a great way to learn how you see things, the way you think about reading. And that is a good thing I think! -also think it might lead up to something mor eventually, but doesn't imply that-
12 May 13, 04:19 PM
Grace: She smiles and raises her eyebrows. "I came up with that all on my own, thank you very much," she teases, but tries to think if shes ever heard Hawley say that. "I didn't mean to judge you, it was just the impression I got from speaking to you," she tells him, hoping to have not hurt his feelings somehow. "Well I tend to read books as if it were me inside them. So if it's a real steamy part, I would imagine that I'd read it aloud in the same seductive sort of voice that I her in my mind," she explains.
12 May 13, 04:30 PM
Marcos: Oh really? I've heard a lot of girls use that line on friends of mine, -chuckles- and no worries, I didn't think you meant it badly. But others have jumped to conclusions and been very surprised afterwards. I don't like being "typical" anyway, so maybe I tend towards the direction most don't expect. -thoughtful pause- How did you decide what was seductive? I was under the impression since this was the first date you hadn't heard one before, which was a bad assumption on my part, given. I'm curious about the thinking there? -looks intrigued-
12 May 13, 04:36 PM
Grace: "Well... when I'm reading I imagine the voice of the character in my mind. So when I get to a place in the book that gets sexy time, I hear a seductive tone in my mind... does that make sense?"
12 May 13, 04:46 PM
Marcos: -listens, head tilted on one side- Ah, okay. So it's what basically you think a sexy voice would sound like, not from hearing others? I guess that makes sense. Well then, we will see if it stays that way, you might start imitating me when I'm reading -teasingly- What other books do you want to look for?
12 May 13, 04:53 PM
Grace: "Yeah basically! For example..." she takes the book from him gently and opens to the page she'd been on before. She takes a deep breath and begins to read the excerpt in a breathy, sexy tone. "His tongue penetrated her moistness; his mouth sucked her tongue into his. He kissed her until she was achy, breathless and clinging to him. She pushed his jeans down his hips and cupped him with her hands," she read quietly so only he could her her. She was blushing again, this little bit having been more risque than the others. "That's what I meant," she tells him. "Hmm, I think I'll just pick up the one I was looking at before and call it good," she says as she tucks said book under her arm.
12 May 13, 05:09 PM
Marcos: -the more personal part of her reading made him lift brow but otherwise felt his breathing increase a bit- Ah I see what you mean -noticed the blush with a smile- And it begins to get a bit more detail in it too. About time. I think some authors like to use words which ar more flowery to cover up saying it straight which might prevent their books getting published. -takes the book back to pay for it up front and leads the way- Okay that will work for me!
12 May 13, 05:16 PM
Grace: "I kind of like the way they make it sound... flowery," she says, a small giggle following. "It sounds classier that way, wouldn't you agree?" she asks. They exit the shop and she turns to him. "Where to?"
12 May 13, 05:21 PM
Marcos: Classier, most definitely -chuckles- the reality is definitely not classy. -pays and exits- Well you were interested in the sweet shop so I thought that sounds like a good idea! Unless you think of another place to head...
12 May 13, 05:25 PM
Grace: "What do you mean the reality isn't classy?" she asks.
12 May 13, 05:32 PM
Marcos: -purses his lips as they walk towards the sweets store- Well, when it comes down to it, I think any description which was accurate might be too accurate for another to read or hear about. Hot, wet, and intense might be as close as i could say. it's all about touch and taste and there is no time to think about how "classy" it might look if you do it slightly differently.
12 May 13, 05:39 PM
Grace: She raised her eyebrows in surprise. He had clearly had sex, of course- it seemed like everyone had except her. "Well... I supposed I'll just have to wait and see to give I disagreement," she teases, feeling a little flustered.
12 May 13, 05:41 PM
Marcos: -chuckles and glances at her- well good for you, if you find the right person it's pretty amazing. The first time it's a total mind blower, like your entire life feels changed. -fond look on his face- You want someone who will take the time for you, though, most guys find themselves in too big a hurry to make sure the girl gets as good as she receives.
12 May 13, 05:44 PM
Grace: She feels very embarrassed by their conversation, not fully understanding what he means because she can't directly relate. "Uhm, I'll keep that in mind, thanks..." she mutters as they walk into the sweet shop.
12 May 13, 05:47 PM
Marcos: Sorry, -glances at her face- didn't mean to say too much. I just think everyone should think about the first time. It's special. -follows her inside- What kind of stuff do you usually get here?
12 May 13, 05:55 PM
Grace: She nodded at his apology and took a mental note about what he said. She could only hope that whoever she shares her first time with would treat her specially. "Hmm, I like to look at the chocolate and fruity candies," she tells him, walking towards some candied bananas.
12 May 13, 06:02 PM
Marcos: -follows- Maybe they have more chocoballs in, i love those things... -finds a stack of them and gets a bunch in a bag- I don't buy much here cause I have to work for what I get, but I like these.
12 May 13, 06:06 PM
Grace: "Oh yes, chocolate balls are delicious, but I must confess.. I also like the frogs," she says. "I usually buy quite a bit and stock up. I have a bad sweet tooth!"
12 May 13, 06:09 PM
Marcos: Mine is not too bad, depending on what is...offered up, -Nadya pops into his mind- and there are some things I can't resist, but there's something about strawberries and chocolate and creme I find really awesome. -holds up one of the chocoballs as the point-
12 May 13, 06:12 PM
Grace: "Oh yes that's a good combination," she says, thinking back to when she'd had it last at home with her family. "Well I think I'm good to go... Three Broomsticks next?" she asks.
12 May 13, 06:30 PM
Marcos: -goes and pays for his fix- Okay! Wish they did more with the bananas then they do. I had some caramelized ones this summer and they were amazing...
12 May 13, 06:33 PM
Grace: "I'm a chocolate kind of girl... give me something dipped in chocolate and I'm happy," she tells him, a smile on her face. She pays and leaves the store with him. "Well we haven't run into one of your brothers yet... should I count this as good?" she asks curiously.
12 May 13, 06:35 PM
Marcos: -nods- I was half expecting them in the sweet shop, I doubt only Maddox would go to the bookstore. Probably waiting for me in the sports places, thinking I would insist on us dropping by. -grins- I like the idea of letting them wonder. -laughs- I'll remember the chocolate part. Shall we go have lunch?
12 May 13, 06:40 PM
Grace: She smiles, listening to him talking about his brothers. "Well good, letting them wonder might also let them know they're not in control, hmm?" she says.
12 May 13, 06:42 PM
Grace: "Lunch sounds lovely. I skipped breakfast so I'm ready for some food," she says with a smile.
12 May 13, 06:43 PM
Marcos: I sure hope so -laughs, then looks concerned- What? Now why did you do that silly? -takes her arm playfully- maybe I'd better support you so you don't fall over from faintness as we enter? -grins-
12 May 13, 06:45 PM
Grace: She giggles at his silly tone. "Hey when a girl's got a hot date, she takes her time getting ready!" she teases. She smiles as he takes her arm and nods. "Thank you... such a gentleman," she comments as they enter the Three Broomsticks.
12 May 13, 06:48 PM
Marcos: -enjoys her giggle- Anyone ever tell you your giggle is adorable? -grins- I do my best, Mama says I am her only gentleman out of the lot. -winks and finds a corner table out of sight from the door while looking to make sure he doesn't see his brothers-
12 May 13, 06:54 PM
Grace: She blushes and giggles more, unintentionally, but it's still cute. "Thank you," she says shyly. As they sit, she gets comfortable and her eyes scan the room for any sign of Hawley or, most especially, Logan. "This is cozy," she comments with a smile.
12 May 13, 06:56 PM
Marcos: -enjoys them more- Man, I need to find more ways to make you do that. -sees waitress on her way over- Hope you know what you want in this cozy corner
12 May 13, 07:00 PM
Grace: She finds herself smiling again as the waitress comes up to them. "I'll take a pot pie with apricots and a butterbeer please," she orders, knowing what she wanted already.
12 May 13, 07:01 PM
Marcos: I'll have a small ploughman's and a Peachtree please. - harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Peachtree_Fizzing_Tea -
12 May 13, 07:04 PM
Marcos: -pays-
12 May 13, 07:05 PM
Grace: She watches as the woman walks away. "Thank you," she tells him. "I like coming here," she comments.
12 May 13, 07:08 PM
Marcos: It's always busy it seems too -seeing a mix of adults and students- I think we beat most of the crowd though which is good and this table only seats two comfortably -grins- so I have any unexpected visitors foiled.
12 May 13, 07:10 PM
Grace: "Yeah, good thing too... cuz I would hate for my brother to come embarrass me honestly," she confesses. "It's a nice table.."
12 May 13, 07:12 PM
Marcos: Oh? -gives her a quizzical look- Does he not know about this? -sets his purchases beside him and gives her a curious look- Or is he just the over protective type?
12 May 13, 07:21 PM
Grace: "A little of both I think. I didn't tell him about today, and he's very protective of me and our sister," she explains.
12 May 13, 07:24 PM
Marcos: -smiles reassuringly- Ah that's easy then. Just tell him we're class partners and we went to Hogsmeade together. He doesn't have to know it's a date if he causes trouble, right? -pats her hand- I'll be willing to pretend if you need me too.
12 May 13, 07:27 PM
Grace: "Oh no that's okay... he needs to deal with me having a life anyways," she teases. "He probably wouldn't be too happy but tough cookie for him, right?"
12 May 13, 07:28 PM
Marcos: -grins happily- Ah cool! Would hate for you to have to have an argument on your first ever date after all, that just seems a bit evil.
12 May 13, 07:31 PM
Grace: She laughs and shakes her head. "Well no worries, I don't see him here so we're in the clear for now!"
12 May 13, 08:26 PM
Marcos: -drinks come back- Well, do you have any questions for me? or shall I ask you ones instead?
12 May 13, 08:28 PM
Grace: She looks surprised for a moment. "Did you have something you wanted to ask me?" she asks curiously. "Thank you," she says to the waitress, smiling up at her.
12 May 13, 08:29 PM
Marcos: -smiles back- Well more to start a conversation I think since we are supposed to use the opportunity to learn more about each other. -takes a sip of the bubbly- So I could ask you about who you're friends are and why you like being with them in particular....
12 May 13, 08:31 PM
Grace: "Well I'm really close to my sister Hawley and my cousins Lux and Kinley," she tells him. "Do you know them?"
12 May 13, 08:34 PM
Marcos: -grins- Well you asked if I knew the loud ones and i did say yes, but the other I'm not sure of.
12 May 13, 08:35 PM
Marcos: Sounds more like family then friends though.
12 May 13, 08:35 PM
Grace: "Well, I'm also friends with Amy Bell and Sarah McKnight from my house... they're probably the closest to best friends who are unrelated," she says, giggling. "What about you?"
12 May 13, 08:44 PM
Marcos: Nadya, who you've met, -counts off on fingers and names about a dozen people most of them female- Most of the rest of my close friends I only see in the summertime. -shrugs- I make friends pretty easy, but I don't tend to hang around a lot of guys.

Grace: She nods. "Yeah Nadya's like family. Her mom and my mom are really good friends," she explains, in case he didn't know. "I know a lot of people and I would say I have a good number of both guy and girl friends, but honestly my family are who I'm closest with," she tells him, sipping her butterbeer. "What do you like to do in your spare time... besides reading the naughty bits of romantic novels on first dates?" she asks curiously.
12 May 13, 08:53 PM
Marcos: -nods, not having known this about Nadya- Well mostly I go outside. This is one area my brothers and i disagree on. They like sports. I like individuals stuff, like outside canoeing and hiking and climbing and such. They say it isn't a sport and i say that's the point -makes a face- What do you do besides read a lot?
Grace: "Oh the outdoors are great. I love to swim and hike... canoeing I've never tried," she tells him. "Besides reading? Oh I like to cook and shop, and sometimes I like to draw if I can..." she says, taking another drink.
12 May 13, 09:20 PM
Marcos: See? They don't get that! And we don't have any good hiking spots here cause the woods are too close. I asked one of the profs about it and he told me he'd tan my hide if I went anywhere near them looking for trails. -looks grumpy- maybe we can meet up sometime in the summer for a hike or so. Would you like that? -sees the food coming over- Cooking is a good thing to know -avoiding the shop word- ...especially if you can learn to make these! -drools as food put down-

12 May 13, 09:27 PM
Grace: She nods, knowing his frustration. "I know, but at least there's quidditch and the lake... I mean those are better than nothing!" she says, happy as the food arrives. She eyes her potpie and begins to eat. "Yeah we could definitely do that.. where do you live?"
12 May 13, 09:44 PM
Marcos: thank goodness! -pulls his ploughman's over and inhales deeply- Ah well we have a place here in England, but we spend time over in America too. It's kinda a back and forth thing. We live in New York originally.
12 May 13, 09:52 PM
Grace: "Wow, a lot of places... We live in Belfast," she tells him.
12 May 13, 09:56 PM
Marcos: Nice! -takes another bite- We have never stayed in one place a lot. Mama likes moving and sometimes i wonder if she is trying to avoid someone. -frowns-

Brody: As he sat not really noticing the crowd he ordered himself a beer, keeping it pretty light tonihg. Maybe a hangover tomorrow wasn't a good idea. After the waitress left his table though, he noticed once he turned to his right two tables over Grace was sitting with....who the heck was that? He squinted a bit and then realized, he was one of those mischievous triplets. He tried to turn away, but it seemed impossible.
12 May 13, 10:00 PM
Grace: "Really? Do you like all the traveling or does it take its toll?" she asks curiously, having only ever known one home. "I mean... who do you think she would be trying to avoid?"
12 May 13, 10:02 PM
Marcos: -snorts- My father probably. We've never met him. -grimaces- She won't tell us his name even, but the traveling is good. Every place is different and unique. I like that part, it just makes me suspicious. All of us.
12 May 13, 10:03 PM
Grace: "Really? Is he a... bad man?" she asks, looking around to make sure no one is eavesdropping. She spots Brody as she's looking and turns pink suddenly, avoiding eye contact with both him and Marcos for the moment.
12 May 13, 10:05 PM
Marcos: I don't know anything. Seriously. i know he was male. -smirks and eats more missing her look around- I just...wish we knew something. -looks up at her, frowns- hey, is everything okay?
12 May 13, 10:08 PM
Brody: His gaze still towards Grace, he noticed her eyes meet his for only a brief moment and she turned away. Oh..she saw him. He could tell by the slight change in color of her cheeks. Though Brody couldn't really understand why he cared. SHe said she had some date..right? And he was her professor nothing more....it's not like he was jealous or anything. And they weren't touching or anything anyway.
Grace: "Hmm well being a male would be a great guess," she says, laughing. She looks up at him and her eyes meet with his. "My pie was hot, sorry," she lied easily. She went back to eating, and when she was sure he was paying attention to his food, she let her gaze wander back over to her professor. She saw him looking at her and quickly changed the subject. "So Marcos, what sort of things are you competitive with your brothers over?" she asks.
12 May 13, 10:12 PM
Marcos: -chuckles himself at her laugh- Oh. Well blow on it first, silly, you know how to do that right? Blow? -picks up his fok and demonstrates laughter in his eyes-, then eats some more-
12 May 13, 10:15 PM
Grace: She giggles girlishly at his demonstration. "Like this?" she a sked, bringing her lips close to her spoon and blowing gently on her steaming food before placing it in her mouth.
12 May 13, 10:17 PM
Marcos: -visibly applauds- Good job! Must keep yourself from getting burned! -laughs-
12 May 13, 10:18 PM
Grace: She smiles at him and continues to eat.
12 May 13, 10:18 PM
Marcos: As to my brothers, everything. They would compete if i at emy food faster then thm. it doesnt really take anything
12 May 13, 10:19 PM
Grace: "I can't imagine that much competition... I don't know how you could deal with that," she says.
12 May 13, 10:20 PM
Brody: His eyes widened as he he saw Grace slowly blowing the food and placing her mouth on it. Was she doing..that...seductively or something? Or was he just seeing it that way? He gulped slightly and was interrupted by the waitress bringing his beer over. He nodded grabbing the bottle and take a few gulps, turning his attention back to her.
12 May 13, 10:21 PM
Marcos: Well I was bor with it you could say -makes a face- that's why it's nioce to avoid them for a bit and be here with you. You are a good distraction, especially in that dress. -smiles-

It's the only way I can distract myself from the real world issues I have to deal with daily so I NEED to.
