A/N: Prompts at the bottom so I don't give anything away.

Gilderoy sighs impatiently as he paces the length of Albus' office. He hates that the headmaster has decided to leave him here alone to see to some silly matter with another professor. Gilderoy is an important man, and if Albus Dumbledore doesn't realize how precious his time is….

His displeasure fades as something catches his eye. It's an ornate bronze frame among the many portraits that hang on the wall, and it's gorgeous. What really takes his breath away, though, is what's within the beautiful frame. His heart flutters as he peers into those beautiful eyes; he feels as though he could lose himself in them. And that hair! Such gorgeous blond locks. A modern day Adonis peers back at him, mirroring his smile.

"Well, hello, gorgeous," he says, stepping closer. He adjusts his tie; it would be a shame to look unappealing to someone so beautiful.

He knows he shouldn't do this. It isn't fair to his beloved. He can't help himself, though. His heart wants what it wants. Maybe his beloved companion will understand that desire cannot always be helped. Some impulses will never go away, and Gilderoy has never been one to resist such a pretty face.

"There's a place for you in my bedroom," he says. "You would be a fine addition to my collection."

He clears his throat, blushing deeply. Merlin! He sounds promiscuous. Perhaps it's not the best thing to say. "That is, I like pretty things, and you are the prettiest I have ever seen."

He knows it will have to remain a passing fancy. He cannot bring this beautiful specimen back to his chambers. His beloved would never allow it; it seems cruel, really.

But he can imagine staring at this one all night as he falls asleep with his beloved at his side.

"Ah, Gilderoy!" a voice calls behind him.

"Albus, good," a portrait drawls. "I don't think I could have taken another moment of this imbecile talking to the bloody mirror."

Gilderoy turns, cheeks flushed a dusty pink. He offers the headmaster his most charming smile. "Just admiring the frame."

Nothing suspicious. No reason for his beloved hand mirror to ever know of his indiscretion.
