Alice walked to the Slytherin table Thursday morning, with Cara walking beside her. She had gone to apologize for avoiding Cara, only to find out that the blonde devil was responsible for Marcus waiting for her in the library.

As Cara put it 'if you weren't going to go to him, I had to send him your way. The two of you are dumbasses.'

Alice should have figured that out, as only Cara knew about their usual spot in the library.

"Morning." Alice greeted as she went to sit infront of Terrance. Cara followed suit and slid in next to her.

"Morning Alice." Terrance greeted with a smile. Graham made a noise as his mouth was full, Alice figured he was greeting them and nodded his way.

"Good Morning ladies." Adrian chirped, his eyes on Cara.

Alice smirked as she could tell that Cara was intentionally not looking at Adrian, but he was too thick to understand.

"Nice of you for joining us today Burke." Adrian said.

"It is nice of me isn't it? Since you are clearly undeserving of my presence." Cara shot back, now fully looking him in eyes.

Adrian's expression immediately fell.

Alice let out an "Ooooh" as she mentally noted to ask Cara later what has happened between her and Adrian that she wasn't aware of. Terrance snickered, then looked to Alice in a "Yikes" kind of manner, and Alice smirked at him. Graham coughed, almost choking from the shock of the sudden reply.

Adrian decided to shut up, and he focused more on his food. Cara had also grabbed a biscuit to eat. Meanwhile Graham, Terrance, and Alice were shooting each other looks of slight amusement and confusion. Alice quickly decided to interrupt the awkward silence that was setting.

"Where's Marcus?" Alice asked. The quick glance that Graham and Adrian shared didn't go by unnoticed by her, neither did the slight smirk that appeared on Cara's lips.

Terrance swallowed a bite of a bagel, before replying to Alice.

"He's up in the library, said he wasn't too hungry and he'd rather spend his time revising our game plan against the Ravenclaws."

"Really? this early?" Alice asked.

"It's also a Thursday, which means no one in school has many classes today, so he should have alot of free time." Cara added.

Terrance shrugged.

"Yeah, but I think he's quite worried about the match, you Ravenclaws are too smart." Adrian said, looking at Cara.

"You're just too dumb." She stated simply.

"Hey!" Graham replied. Alice put a hand over her chest, and faked being offended.

"No wonder Alice is so snarky, she must've pick it up from you." Adrian said with a grin. Cara's sass seemed to be having the opposite effect on Adrian than she hoped for.

Alice finished off her bowl of strawberries and cream, then stood up, the others turned to look at her.

"I'm going to go join the captain." She stated simply.

Again, Graham and Adrian shared a glance, only this time Cara had joined them.

"What?" Alice asked defensively.

"Hm? Nothing." Graham quickly answered.

Alice sighed, knowing it wasn't nothing, but she didn't feel like confronting them today. "Anyone coming?" she asked.

Terrance wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then stood up to join Alice. Graham and Adrian seemed to be trying to communicate something to Terrance through their glares, but Terrance chose to ignore them.

"Cara?" Alice looked to her blonde friend.

"No, I think I'll stay here a bit longer, I'm still enjoying my tea." She stated.

"Alright." Alice replied.

Adrian and Graham were whispering among themselves.

"You should go." Adrian whispered.

"You think?" Graham asked.

"Yea, that way you'll be able to make sure Terrance doesn't get in the way, and also I'll be alone with Cara. Two bird with one stone." Adrian explained.

"Are you two done?" Alice asked impatiently. She was starting to realize most of her friends were dorks.

Graham cleared his throat then replied "Yeah, I'll be coming with you." He stood up.

Realizing that this leaves Adrian with Cara, Alice shot a look towards Cara, who just smirked back. Her eyes said 'I can handle him.'

Alice walked out of the library with Terrance and Graham and made her way to the library.

"So," Adrian places his hands on the table, his fingers were intertwined and he had a dumb grin on his face.

Cara gave him a raised eyebrow, as she sipped on her tea.

Alice found Marcus sitting at her usual spot, which she wasn't too thrilled about as he's seemingly taking over it, and he was too focused on the parchments cluttered around the table that he didn't notice them approaching. She decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

She quickly motioned for Terrance and Graham so stay back, then put her index finger up to her lips to tell them to be silent. Alice slowly tiptoed behind Marcus, and she tried her best not to burst into a giggle fit as she snuck up behind him. She pursed her lips, then gently leaned down to his ear and held her breath so he wouldn't feel her. Though she doubted that he would since he was too busy. For a second, she admired the way he's actually concentrating on advising a plan, her previous doubts about Marcus never visiting the library had diminished.

"Hey captain." she whispered.

"Oh god!" Marcus almost jumped out of his seat with a surprised spas, his head swiftly shot to glance at the source.

He was met with a smirking brunette. Ofcourse. He could also hear the snickering of the two boys behind Alice.

"You sounded more like you just climaxed than surprised." Alice stated, as she walked around the table to sit facing the still bewildered captain.

"What are you doing here Alice?" He asked with a sigh.

Terrance sat down next to Alice, while Graham plopped down into the seat by Marcus.

"Why do you sound not too pleased to see me Marcus?" She pouted teasingly.

"No, I just didn't expect anyone to be joining me." Marcus replied, his eyes glancing to Terrance and Graham as well.

"It's Thursday, we only have double potions today which starts in about half an hour, so no morning classes." Terrance stated.

"Speaking of classes, aren't you supposed to be in class about now?" Alice asked.

Marcus grinned, "Memorized my schedule Alice?"

"Not really, I just have a good memory, you always left practice around this time for class." Alice countered.

Graham seemed to be amused the exchange, as he usually would be the one teasing but he decided to stay silent for now and watch.

"Yeah I have Charms, but I don't really feel like going. It's Flitwick anyways, he won't say anything." Marcus stated, then went back to his parchments.

"It's not like you need any more setbacks in marks." Alice said.

"Don't worry about me love, Professor Snape will make sure I'm all set for by the end of the year." Marcus replied.

Alice raised an eyebrow when he said 'love' but Marcus only smirked.

"How touching of you Alice, worrying about Marcus's marks and all." Graham teased.

"Touching indeed." Marcus joined in.

"If it's so touching Graham, why don't you go touch yourself to the thought of the two hour class you'll be facing Snape in a bit hmm?" Alice shot back.

Terrance chuckled, he wanted to laugh but Madam Pince had already been sending them glares.

"I never thought I'll be hearing the words "touch yourself to the thought of Snape" ever in my life but here I am." Graham stated.

"You know, I won't be getting anything done with you guys here." Marcus said.

Alice chose to ignore his statement as she started saying

"Speaking of touching, Marcus," She called him.

Marcus looked up from his work to look at the brunette sitting infront of him.

"I touch myself to the thought of you." She whispered huskily.

Marcus dropped the quill in his hand, and his mouth was slightly agape. Did he hear her correctly, or was he imagining things again?

Graham's jaw was also slightly agape, but slowly twisting in a grin as Alice continued.

"More specifically, I touch my temples because you give me a headache, especially when I remember we have practice early in the mornings."

Terrance couldn't restrain himself this time as he burst into laughter, Graham slowly joined in.

Marcus's shocked expression turned into a grin as Alice smirked at him. Their enjoyment wasn't long lived as Madam Pince scurried over to them angrily to kick them out.

"Alright alright, we'll be out Madam Pince!" Alice said.

"We've got to get to potions class anyways." Terrance stated.

Alice and Terrance had gotten up and put their chairs back, then tried to apologize to Madam Pince.

Graham was getting up from his seat, then he looked to Marcus with a grin and asked,

"You staying here?"

"I can't exactly get up right now." Marcus stated.

Graham noticed Marcus trying to hide his hard-on under the table and snickered at him.

"Seriously?" Graham questioned.

"Shutup." Marcus retorted.

"Can't blame you." Graham chuckled, then made his way to Alice and Terrance.

Alice turned back to Marcus,

"See you later captain."
