All gold does not glister
Chapter 10: Playing is good for the mind
Anna:
I was sitting in the kitchen eating my breakfast when Harry walked in. He patted my head slightly as he went to make something to eat for himself.
"Morning, Mr. Lazy Ass", I greeted him playfully.
"Good Morning, Little. So now I'm a lazy ass, am I?" he replied. Before I took notice of what he was doing, he flicked a wet cloth at me.
"Yack!" I shrieked. "You monster!" And went chasing after him around the apartment. This kind of game was becoming some kind of a morning ritual for us, though as yet, Lucius-san hadn't seen it. He just might think we were crazy, not that he would be badly mistaken. And I had never wanted to risk angering our meal ticket.
Screaming, "Give up!" I jumped on Harry, tackling him to the floor.
"Never!" he squeaked and squirmed trying to throw me off.
So I had to use my ultimate weapon on him: tickle the prey! Very soon I had him wiggling and trying fruitlessly to escape my evil means, but he stood no chance.
"Oh, stop, you crazy creature! Ah haha haa... Sto-ooo-opth..." Harry begged breathlessly while trying not to laugh. He was so deliciously ticklish... "Anna! Anna, stop, please!"
I stopped. "Hmp, fine. Spoil my fun, why don't you", I muttered and pouted theatrically, still not getting off him.
"You, my dear Anna", Harry started as he finally managed to pull me to the floor next to him, "are an Imp!"
"Why thank you, kind sir." I grinned at him. He just laughed and hugged me warmly.
Harry:
I tried on yet another outfit. Pulling on the odd pieces of garment, while letting my thoughts flow.
Lucius and Anna had finally agreed on something. Unfortunately for me it had been about my wardrobe, or its lack as Lucius had stated. So, the two of them had dragged me on a shopping trip. Now, why did people think that I needed more clothes? I got along just fine with what I had already. But did they listen to me? No, of course not.
So, here I was, standing in a changing room, in an outfit that looked beyond peculiar to me. Wait a sec... On my feet I had army surplus boots, with 18 holes. Hugging my hips were tight leather pants that left precious little to the imagination, leaving my belly button out for all to see and a shirt made mostly out of netted fabric. Which showed my nipples very clearly. I didn't look bad in it, just a bit out of place.
Grr, time to make an end of this... Not that I had really minded, but this was a bit too much. The shirt, I mean. I don't fancy showing off my nipples on my spare time, thank you very much.
Storming out to make my mind clear, I marched hands on my hips, walking smoothly as a jaguar – which just happened to be my other Animagus form. "Lucius, Anna!" I hissed lowly but angrily. Then changing my tactic I murmured sweetly: "Could the two of you explain this to me?" I included the outfit on me with a wave of my hand.
Just then I noticed that Anna seemed to have dropped her eyes to the floor and Lucius seemed to be almost drooling while staring at my legs. I just stood there, with my 'I am irritated at your very existence, do not annoy me more'-pose. Just when I was about to start stamping my foot Lucius snapped into action and dragged me back to the changing room.
We ended up buying the leather pants and the combat boots as well, and a few others with the same theme. And I got a few marks on my neck, one I could easily count Lucius' teeth in.
Not that I had anything to whine about.
I smirked to myself. Not at all.
tbc...Thanks for reviews. Really appreciated.
Of course without Saavik13, this chapter would not exist.
Tell me what you think. Any ideas are welcomed. Any shape and form...
