In Some Other Existence

Anonymous: Ok, firstly I adore your works, like as soon as I finished I reread everything, and secondly I have this superindulgent prompt: You know how wearing your boyfriends stuff is a thing? I haven't seen that with girlfriends a lot yet, so how about Parvati one day just decides to wear Lavenders most obnoxiously Lavender bow, maybe even as her way of announcing a relationship? Please and thank you :)

6: Girlfriends

"Shh," Parvati hissed, putting her hand over Lavender's mouth to stifle her moan.

"I can't help it," Lavender breathed when Parvati moved her hand to kiss her. She carded her fingers through Parvati's hair, leaving them to rest them on her girlfriend's shoulders. "If you want me to be quiet, then don't - " She gasped as Parvati licked the hollow of her throat. " - touch me there," she finished weakly.

Parvati smiled wickedly as she worked her way down Lavender's buttons. "But you make such pretty noises."

Lavender moaned again, leaning her head back against the wall.

They were crammed into a broom closet on the fourth floor, one that they knew Filch didn't use anymore. Ever since Parvati had confessed her feelings to Lavender a month ago and found out that Lavender felt the same way, they'd started dating in secret and taken to make out sessions in broom closets between classes or in the dorm when Hermione wasn't around, and cuddling in the common room late at night.

"Wish we didn't have to be quiet," Lavender murmured against Parvati's neck, wrapping her arms around the girl's waist.

"Do you want to go public?" Parvati asked.

Lavender sighed. "I don't know."

It wasn't that they were embarrassed of their relationship or anything, but they'd decided that they wanted to figure themselves out first without the whole school watching. Hogwarts wasn't homophobic as a whole, and many were actually very supportive and worked with Dumbledore to create safe LGBT spaces within the school, but because out LGBT students were still fairly rare, anyone who was became the center of the school's attention - especially if they were dating.

"You saw how everyone reacted when Davies and Zabini got together," Parvati reminded her. "Are you ready for that?"

"Maybe," Lavender replied softly.

Parvati paused, meeting Lavender's eyes in the darkness. Then she kissed Lavender with renewed fervor, pressing their bodies together. She slid her hand up Lavender's thigh so it rested on the girls hip. Lavender's legs trembled as she pulled Parvati's shirt out of the skirt. They mingled tongues and breath, pulling on hair and clothing, then -

Pleasant chimes sounded outside of the broom closet door.

"Shit!" Lavender exclaimed as she and Parvati sprang apart. They were late for Transfiguration.

Lavender hurriedly buttoned her shirt and adjusted her skirt, reaching blindly for her bow on the floor and quickly tied it into her hair. Parvati picked up her tie and threw it around her neck, then tucked herself back in. With ears pressed against the door, they waited for the steps in the hallway to fade before they burst out and ran for McGonagall's classroom.

They'd been expecting the stares when they ran into the classroom, but they hadn't been expecting the giggles and the shocked expressions. They turned to each other, and then realized what had happened.

Around Parvati's neck, in place of her tie, was Lavender's pink sequin bow, and Parvati's tie was around Lavender's head and tied as a bow. Not to mention their red lips and messy hair, and the fact that Lavender's shirt was misbuttoned and Parvati hadn't fully tucked hers in.

McGonagall cleared her throat. "Ladies, please take a moment to compose yourselves, and next time make sure your extracurricular activities do not interfere with your schooling. Now, the art of vanishing spells…"

Even though McGonagall had resumed her lecture, most of the students were still staring at Lavender and Parvati, who were still staring at each other. Then Parvati smiled at her and shrugged, and Lavender reached out and they laced their fingers together as they walked out of the classroom.

A wild larvati drabble appeared! If you're wondering why it was Roger Davies and Blaise Zabini who were mentioned and not Dean and Seamus, it's because our idiots still had to figure their shit out haha
