~*~ Chapter 2 ~*~
Marcus sat next to Fate and grabbed her elbow so she'd turn around. She turned, but was obviously still in protest to the fact he was present in the compartment. Marcus pulled harder and tried to talk to her. "Fate I'm Marcus Flint, captain of the Slytherin Quidditch Team. I just wanted to come talk to you. Can I talk to you please?"
Fate's eyes focused in on Marcus cruely. "And why can't you just talk to me with Oliver around?" she wasn't really all that mad about it, but this was really quite fun.
"Because I came to get to know you on a personal level, and I don't want that Gryffindor to be all rude to me and shit. He's really mean to everybody he doesn't want in bed with. That's all he wants, is in your bed. I swear to god, he's a huge pervert, he wants to make you do lesbian stuff with that girlfriend of his."
Fate rolled her eyes. "What do YOU want to get to know ME for?" Fate said implying that he was the one who wanted sex, who wanted to use her, who wanted nothing but to have her as a sex toy.
Marcus eyed her. "Fate I watched you all last year, you're beautiful, you're a flirt, but not a slut, you're awesome, and just what I need in my life," Marcus looked at her desperately.
Fate's eyes went wide. What was Marcus saying to her? She turned her head slightly. She had gone after Marcus most of last year, and he hadn't given her the time of day. "Is this some sort of joke?" she immediately asked him.
"NO!" Marcus replied immediately, "Fate, you're beautiful, and I was stupid last year not to ask you out. I know you were out of my league then, but I was just wondering, will you go out with me?" he looked sincere in his eyes.
"What bullshit is this?" Fate said loudly, " NO GUY DOES THAT! No guy is all sweet and, no- who put you up to this? I'll kick their ass!" Fate jumped up angry.
Marcus laughed. "See, this is why I was all sweet, I knew you'd have a funny reaction. No, seriously, I do like you, and I do wanna go out with you. So-we goin' out or what?" Marcus grinned at Fate.
Fate now laughed and lowered her head. "Well, you knew how to get my attention so alright, but if this is a joke or anytihng I'll punch you in the balls and castrate you once you recover. Understand?" Fate smiled at Marcus.
Marcus started laughing. "Alrighty, I love you too.." Marcus left the compartment and Fate sat down once more. A few minutes later he came back with his luggage along with Oliver. "What are you doing now?"Fate questioned thee two.
"Well I have to sit with my girlfriend!" Marcus said in a highpitched voice.
Oliver sat down grumpily and looked out the window as the sky began to darken. He grouched the rest of the ride to Hogwarts and didn't say anything until the train stopped. And that was only a rushed 'Bye Fate' as he scurried out of the compartment and into the aisles. Fate grabbed her backpakc and pulled out over her new robes, which instead of plain black she had tinged with purple to match the majority of streaks in her hair. Marcus smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist as they moved into the large group of Hufflepuffs outside their compartment. Oliver was off the train already, and they were the only Slytherins that were in sight, except for the potential Slytherins (first years). They moved along as some of the first years stared up at them. Marcus grinned and moved Fate slightly and kissed her lips gently. All the first years gasped as though they had never seen it before and stared even after they ended as Marcus proceeded to pinch Fate's ass as she stepped off the train. They got in a carriage together and kissed heartily and made fun of the funny looking first years. As Fate leaned into his arms she looked up at him staring out at Hogwarts in the dreamy night sky. "Marcus, I'm just wondering, why do you suddenly wanna be in a relationship? Why didn't you like me last year? Why wouldn't you at least talk to me last year?" Fate said, touching his robes delicately.
Marcus paused before he looked down at Fate. He gently pushed away one of her braids and stroked her cheek lovingly. "One thing I didn't publicise very much last year was that I had a girlfriend. She was beautiful too. She went to Beauxbatons, and she was gorgeous. I really loved her, but then we got in a stupid fight because she didn't want to come over to my house for the summer, she wanted to see her family instead. She didn't want a commitment, she was probably even dating some of the other guys at her school and Durmstrang. It really hurt me you know, so then when we broke up during Christmas break I was too hurt to even think of anybody else to go out with, and when I had recovered enough I knew it would only be rebound, so I waited until summer and then I just dated a muggle girl. It was fun, but they're far too stupid for me. Then I was going through all my pictures that had just been developed and I noticed that you were in most of them, there were even some of you looking for me! It was amazing, and then the entire summer I thought of you, how beautiful you are, how nice you are, and how you'll defend anybody who's nice to you. I couldn't stop thinking of how incredible you are and how much I need you in my life, so today I set out to find you and get you to be my girlfriend, my one. Then I found you and I made the mistake of being mean to Oliver, and presto, I had ignited that flame inside you. It made me feel good to see you though, and you really are adorable when you get mad. So I knew then that I had to ask you out, get you to be the one in my life. And I guess that's about all there was to it that you don't know about. You know everything else that happened. Why'd you say yes?" Marcus looked into her hazel eyes which had turned an ember green at the thought of him spending the entire summer obsessing over her.
Fate stopped to think about it, why did she say yes? Had Marcus not totally ignored her the year before? She looked up and noticed that Marcus was looking concerned so she decided to use a quick recovery. "Well, I liked you so much last year and you ignored me. You totally refused to acknowledge my existence. Then you finally pay attention to me and I guess I couldn't refuse. I'm glad I didn't though, none of my friends would have let me live if I had said no to you." Fate sat up and kissed Marcus again.
This seemed to satisfy him enough. Together they looked out the window at the fast approaching Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As they left the carriage Fate and Marcus held hands, looking up at the huge castle before them. Fate turned to Marcus. "Are you ready to be a real couple?" Fate asked anxiously.
"I've been ready for you all summer," Marcus smiled and kissed Fate, then led her into the school and into the main hall.
Marcus sat next to Fate and grabbed her elbow so she'd turn around. She turned, but was obviously still in protest to the fact he was present in the compartment.
