Obnoxious Behaviour

"What's got you so smug, Bones?" John Dawlish frowned at Amelia, contempt on his face.

"No idea what you're talking about," Amelia answered, her voice higher than usual.

"Ha!" Without being invited he grabbed the seat opposite her in the Ministry café. "I know you, Bones, and you're not your usual self. You're rather… obnoxious."

Amelia shrugged, sipping at her coffee. Once she'd finished, she stood and said, "I've got to go, Dawlish. Some of us actually work around here."

John narrowed his eyes. "You're up to something."

"Work."

"No, something more."

Amelia rolled her eyes. "Clearly you have an overactive imagination. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be late returning from my lunch." And with that, she disappeared from the café.

Unable to let her strange behaviour go, John followed her. Bones was always smug, but never that smug. She had a secret and he was determined to find out what it was.

…

"Harry." Amelia grabbed him by his arm and dragged the younger man into her office.

"Hey, I thought you'd be back by now," Harry replied, leaning in to kiss Amelia, but she pulled away.

"I got, er, held up." She shut the door. "You know you can't just show up here."

"Sorry." Harry at least had the decency to blush. "As I said, I thought you'd be back by now."

"What do you want?" Amelia asked, harsher than she intended.

"To see you." Harry attempted to kiss her again, but she once again pulled away.

"I'm working."

Frowning, Harry said, "That hasn't stopped you before."

This time it was Amelia who blushed. "I'm busy today."

"Right." Harry rested his hand on the doorknob. "I'll go, I guess."

He was halfway out the door when Amelia called him back.

"I'm sorry," she sighed, indicating he should stay. "I just… John, he was asking questions."

"Dawlish?"

Amelia nodded. "I think he suspects."

"Does it matter if he does?" Harry asked. "We're both consenting adults."

"I know. It's just… I'm so much older and it's… weird, I guess."

Harry smiled, stepping to wrap his arms around her waist. He kissed her, and this time she let him. "Does it feel weird?"

"No." Amelia hid a smile.

"Then it's not weird." He kissed her again.

Laughing, Amelia kissed him back, giving into the temptation of the younger man. "I love you, Harry."

Through kisses, Harry responded. "I love you too, Millie."

…

An hour later, John watched as Harry Potter left Amelia's office, his hair messier than it usually was.

"Well, I'll be," he muttered, his eyes following the Boy Who Lived. "Amelia, you sly dog. No wonder you've been strutting around this place so obnoxiously. Anyone would be when they're sleeping with Harry Potter."

Grinning, John returned to his own office. He'd make sure to torment her about Harry tomorrow.

I get way too carried away with anything to do with Amelia, and I couldn't help myself with some Amelia/John banter (my favourite Amelia ship!) Feel free to PM me with any requests you have! I accept all via PM!
