Detention
"Does anyone know what happens to an object, after a vanishing spell has been cast?" professor McGonagall asked the class. Fenris was about to raise his hand, when something hit him on the shoulder. He glanced behind him, and saw a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. With furrowed brows he leaned down to pick it up. When he uncrumpled the paper he saw a crude drawing of a boy waving at him.
He immediately recognized it as Anders, a slytherin student from the same year as himself. He turned around and glared at him. Anders gave him a big smile. Fenris was just about to say something, but then thought the better of it, they were in class after all. He refocused his attention on the teacher, who had just told them about the different levels of vanishing spells. Fenris silently cursed Anders for causing him to miss it. It was just like him, always breaking rules and disrupting class. Like the rest of his house he would just do, whatever he felt like without caring about what effect it had on others.
Then another piece of paper hit him. This time in the back of his head. He reached for this one too, and opened it. It was probably too much to hope for an apology. And just as he thought, this time not only one, but two little people were waving at him.
One of them were obviously Anders again, and the other ... was that him? He turned around to send another very angry glare in his direction, when he heard the professors sharp voice.
"Are we sending notes?"
Fenris quickly turned towards the professor with a shocked look on his face. McGonagall was looking at him and Anders with a stern expression.
"I really wouldn't have expected this from you Fenris" she said disapprovingly, "Five points from Gryffindor and five points from Slytherin, and if I catch you doing it aging you'll both get detention".
Fenris felt his face warm up, and he turned his attention toward his notes and tried not to catch the eye of anyone. Even though his attention was focused on note taking, he could swear he heard Anders, who were sitting just behind him, chuckle satisfied. Fenris clenched his quill hard and grit his teeth, if murder were legal ...
The next ten minutes or so were eventless, but then Fenris, for the third time that day, felt something hitting him in the back. He turned and saw a new little piece of paper on the floor. This time he didn't bother picking it up. A few minutes passed, and then he was hit again, harder this time. He shot Anders an angry glance, and mimed "stop it". Anders grinned at him, and threw a third piece of paper, this time it flew over him and landed on his table, just as McGonagall was passing by.
"Now it has to stop!" she said, "Detention, both of you, you will speak with me after class about how you'll serve your detention".
"But professor-" Fenris began.
"Quiet, I do not wish to hear excuses" she replied, before he finished speaking. Fenris turned to look at Anders, who looked very satisfied. Fenris narrowed his eyes at him, which didn't seem to bother him at all.
The rest of class went without any other incidents. Anders left Fenris alone, and Fenris did his best to pay attention. This seemed to be difficult, his mind kept wandering to Anders and that infuriating smile he had sent him earlier. Gah! One thing was for the Slytherin to ruin his own education, but why had he had to drag Fenris down too? It was just such a typical Slytherin thing to do. And now he would probably have to spend detention in his company.
When class ended Fenris stayed behind and so did Anders. The professor looked strictly at both of them.
"The two of you will be serving your detention in the forbidden forest, and don't look so smug Anders, it will be no walk in the park, you'll have to do your share of the work" the last part was directed at Anders, who had made a little whooping sound, when the forest was mentioned. Fenris glared silently at him, he had heard all kinds of rumors about that forest, and come to think of it, also about Anders sneaking out to it.
"You will meet Hagrid in the entrance hall at eleven p.m." McGonagall continued, "is this understood?"
Fenris nodded.
"Yes ma'am" Anders answered smartly.
"Good" McGonagall said, not looking too happy with Anders reply. Then she left the classroom. Fenris turned to Anders, ready to give him a piece of his mind, "What the hell-"
he was cut short by Anders, who had ruffled his hair, "I guess I'll see you there Fenris" he said with a big grin, and then he left leaving Fenris feeling flustered and confused.
At 10:30 p.m. the same evening Fenris went down to the entrance hall. When he arrived Anders were already standing there, or rather sitting. He was talking to an orange colored cat, but looked up, when Fenris came.
"Glad you came" he said with a grin and stood up, lifting the cat with him, "It looks like a clear night, perfect weather for a walk in the forest".
Fenris scowled at him, "Because of you I now have to waste my evening having detention, I had study to do .. not that I should expect different from a Slytherin .." he said bitterly.
Fenris could have sworn that he saw a quick flash of hurt in Anders eyes, but before he could be certain it was replaced by the boys usual grin, "Aw, you don't mean that" he said and patted Fenris on the shoulder. As it had earlier that day, Anders touch gave Fenris a weird sensation and he quickly moved out of reach, "I certainly do".
Anders shook his head, "No, I am far too charming for you to be really mad at me" he said and send him a smile which Fenris had to admit, if only to himself, was very charming.
"You think too highly of yourself" Fenris said, trying to keep his voice cold.
The big doors to outside opened before Anders had a chance to reply, and Hagrid entered. "Good evening boys, you'll be spending the evening with me in the forest, come on it's this way" the big man waved them out of the castle. Fenris and Anders both followed him out.
Hagrid was a very big, and rather young, man. He had big, black hair and the beginning of what could grow to be an impressive beard. Fenris had always rather liked the man, he seemed like a good enough guy, and Fenris adored Fang, Hagrid's young boarhound dog.
"Oh, hey, you can't bring that one along" Hagrid said, apparently he had noticed the cat which Anders was still carrying.
"But Ser Pounce-a-lot is a very brave cat, and he'll love the forest!" Anders objected. Hagrid sighed, "No, sorry can't do. We'll be taking Fang along, and he doesn't get along well with cats."
Anders came with a very deep sigh and put the cat down, "I am sorry, I'll have to leave you Ser Pounce-a-lot, be a good kitty, while I'm gone, alright?". The cat meowed. Fenris rolled his eyes, "I am sure your cat will be fine".
"Oh, but what if he misses me?" Anders said, suddenly sounding worried, "I would certainly miss me, if I had to be away from me" he added with a small grin. Fenris sighed.
They arrived at the edge of the forest and Hagrid called to a halt, "I will go and get Fang, then we will enter the forest. Our job is to investigate rumors uhm.." Hagrid suddenly seemed a bit embarrassed, "Rumors about giant spiders .. yeah" he said and cleared his throat, "I will be right back". He left and walked quickly towards his hut.
Fenris raised an eyebrow, "What was that about?" he said, momentarily forgetting that he didn't like Anders.
"heh, maybe he planted the rumors to scare of people who were going to steal his magic death-horses, and now he's afraid we'll discover his lie" Anders said happily.
"I hardly think that is it" Fenris answered with a small laugh.
Anders sighed, "I liked that version better then the thought of actual giant spiders in the forest ... why is it never the safe answer? of course there has to be real giant spiders, too bad I left Ser Pounce-a-lot, he loves chasing spiders"
Fenris shook his head, "I think spiders big enough to get the name 'giant spiders' are a bit out of your cat's league".
"Pfft, Ser Pounce-a-lot is a mighty warrior, I have personally trained him to be a killer kitten" Anders stated proudly.
Fenris was about to reply when he heard a loud bark, and saw Fang, who was running towards them. The big dog first tried to jump up Anders and lick his face, but was pushed aside. Then Fang tried with Fenris who smiled and scratched him behind the ear. "Hey there Fang, what a fine dog you are".
"Now come on you two, let's get going" Hagrid called as he began to walk into the forest. Fang followed cheerfully with Anders and Fenris right behind him.
"You know, you'll probably have to hold my hand" Anders whispered and grabbed his hand, "I have a terrible fear of darkness". Fenris felt his face warm up and he quickly pulled his hand out of his grip, "No you don't!" he hissed back, trying not to look at the annoyingly handsome boy next to him.
Anders sighed, "Such distrust" he said mournfully, "What did I ever do to deserve that?".
"You got me in detention!" Fenris whispered back.
"But we already established that you forgave me for that due to my charming nature" Anders answered with a broad grin.
"We did not!"
"Quiet you two!" Hagrid hissed from somewhere in front of them, Fenris had been a bit too loud in his last reply.
Fenris glared at Anders, but didn't say anything else. Anders also walked in silence looking smug and way too happy with himself.
They walked on like that for a while, before Hagrid silently raised one hand, a signal for them to stop.
"I think I see traces of webbing here uhm ... look, maybe it's better if the two of you stay behind with Fang" he said, once again sounding a bit weird. Anders were quick to answer, "Great idea, then we'll also be in a better position to get help, if something were to happen to you". Hagrid nodded, "yes, yep, exactly what I thought ... now you two just stay right there!". Before Fenris had an opportunity to protest, Hagrid had disappeared deeper into the forest.
"Ah, finally alone" Anders said and smiled at Fenris, "And as I said earlier, a beautiful evening to be out and free".
Fenris sighed heavily, "You know what, I just think I'll ignore you until Hagrid gets back".
"Aww, come on you don't really mean that".
Fenris didn't respond, and sat down by a tree.
Anders were silent for a few blessed seconds before he spoke again, "Come on, he could be gone for hours, don't tell me you just plan on sitting quiet there the whole time ... you'll get bored!". Fenris still didn't reply, but it took quite a lot of effort not to smile triumphantly.
Anders stood in thoughtful silence for a few minutes, then he sat down in front of Fenris. "All right then, I'll just have to do something you can't ignore" he said and a big grin spread across his face. Fenris almost looked at Anders face, but he stopped himself in time. no way he would lose to a Slytherin, especially this one. Maybe if he had moved his gaze, he would have caught Andres movement. Maybe he would have had time to move or do something else to stop him, but as it were Anders kiss took him completely by surprise.
Warm lips against his own made all his blood flow to his face, and he were suddenly very thankful for the darkness. He withdrew his head and looked shocked at Anders, "Wha- what did you do that for?!" he exclaimed.
"hah, I got you to react!" Anders said satisfied. Fenris narrowed his eyes at him, "Oh, so that was what is was about? Of course, leave it to a selfish Slytherin to ... do something like that for no other reason!" Fenris felt completely shaken, and found it a struggle to formulate his thoughts into the right words.
Anders raised an eyebrow, "You wanted there to be another reason?" he asked and leaned closer to Fenris. Fenris felt his heart beat faster, and cursed himself for feeling like this. He cursed himself for letting his eyes linger on Anders' handsome features, his red-blond ponytail and the gold earring that adorned his right ear.
"I .. No! of course not!" he said quickly, but not quickly enough. Anders smiled triumphantly.
"Really? why not?"
Fenris blinked surprised, he hadn't expected that question, "... I am very angry at you for dragging me into this" he said after some thought, "And besides, you're a Slytherin!". Yes he thought, both perfectly valid reason, hopefully Anders would keep his distance now and Fenris wouldn't have to deal with these confusing feelings.
"Oh, but only so we could spend this night in each other's company!" Anders said theatrically and put a hand on his forehead, "What other choice did I have? You turned down my first invitation, which by the way broke my heart, I were a desperate man".
"Quit joking" Fenris said annoyed, Anders words had made him feel weird. Had he really done this to spend time with him?
"You wound me! I would never jest with something as serious as this!"
Fenris narrowed his eyes, "It really doesn't make a difference, it was selfishly done and now I'm gonna get behind on studying".
Anders sighed, and looked a bit more serious, "I suppose you are right ...I could make it up to you?"
Once again Anders took Fenris by surprise, he had expected him to argue or deny, "... How?" he asked warily.
"Hm ... you could copy the next assignment from me ... or I could help you study" he quickly added, when he saw Fenris's disapproving expression, "I am quite good at transfiguration".
Fenris thought about it for a bit, and suddenly Anders kissed him again. This time it lasted longer, mostly because Fenris hesitated to pull back. The night were getting a bit cold, and Anders skin against his own gave a welcome warmth. He hadn't noticed this before, but Anders were a surprisingly good kisser. As soon as he caught himself thinking that, he drew back.
Andres grinned, "Am I forgiven now?".
Fenris glared at him, "... If studying with you actually leads to something useful, I'll consider it" he mumbled. Anders sent him a big, happy smile.
"Oh, and as for the Slytherin thing, not all of us are bad you know" he said, "I mean, my greatest goal is to make the world a safe place for kittens and virgins".
This made Fenris chuckle, "I highly doubt that" he said as he raised one white eyebrow.
Anders grinned, "I got you to smile!" he said and Fenris rolled his eyes at him. Anders then continued, "Now, that's all of your reasons taken care of, now do you want there to be another reason?"
Fenris felt his face go warm again, something that was happening way to much this evening, "... A reason such as?".
Anders smiled and leaned very close to Fenris, so close that he could feel the heat from his body and smell his very attractive scent. "Oh I don't know ... Maybe you wanted me to do it 'cause I liked you?".
Fenris felt his heart skip a beat, "... Did you?" he asked, instead of answering.
"Depends ... did you want me to?" Anders asked, while starring intensely at him. Fenris felt captivated by his gaze, and were unable to look away.
"... I don't know" he mumbled, not entirely true. Anders flashed a smile at him.
"Well then, let me ask like this, do you want me to kiss you again?".
Fenris hesitated but then slowly nodded. Right now, that was the only thing he wanted.
