"It serves you right for staying up this late," Severus scolded.
"I wasn't up until you slammed the door!" Goyle exclaimed angrily.
"We wouldn't have slammed it if you hadn't been awake," said Severus.
Goyle squinted as he attempted to understand what had been said to him, "Fine. I'll go back to sleep if you'll stop being so loud."
"It's deal," Lucius nodded, trying like hell to repress his laughter. Severus turned on his heel and giggled quietly as Goyle rolled over and buried his face in his pillow.
Lucius and Severus crawled onto the bed of the latter. After a sound-proofing charm was cast, Lucius smiled, "He's even thicker when he's tired. I hadn't thought that level of stupidity was possible."
Severus smiled in agreement but he added, "Even so, it never would have happened if you hadn't slammed the door."
"So what?" Lucius shrugged. He brushed his lips against Severus' neck and and purred, "We still ended up right where we wanted to be."
The tickle of Lucius' lips at his earlobe made Severus shiver. Hours of wet kisses let them slide unwillingly into slumber. Sometime before the school awoke, Lucius rose from Severus' bed to use the bathroom and had the good sense to return to his own bed.
The day's lessons proceeded without incident. Though they would have loved to spend the evening doing other activities, Lucius and Severus were forced to spend their time in the library researching an Herbology assignment. The magical plant they had been assigned was called the Midnight Rose. Severus had seen mention of it in obscure potions manuals but he knew little of its properties. As usual, Lucius hadn't much interest in research or note-taking, so the task fell upon Severus to complete. He didn't mind so much, as he was content with Lucius' amorous whisperings in his ear as he jotted onto the crisp parchment.
His notes read:
~The Midnight Rose~
-one of the two varieties of the Celestial Blossoms
-the other being the Noonday Rose
-all Celestial Blossoms are identical as seedlings
-as seedlings they are exposed to light and darkness respectively
-two quarters of the seedlings don't react to either light or darkness
-one quarter reacts positively to light
-one quarter reacts positively to darkness
-the half that doesn't respond is ignored
-the quarter that reacts to light is destined to become Noonday Roses
-the quarter that reacts to darkness is destined to become Midnight Roses
-the Midnight Rose seedlings are uncovered only from twilight until sunrise
-the Noonday Rose seedlings are uncovered only from dawn until dusk
-petals of the Noonday Rose are coloured like the midday sky
-petals of the Midnight Rose are coloured like the midnight sky
-50% of the seedlings of both varieties of Celestial Blossoms wilt before maturity
-Midnight Roses are the key ingredient in the incredibly powerful Vindicto Potion
-Noonday Roses are the key ingredient in the equally potent Manna Rapportero Potion
-when mixed together or brought into any close contact with one another both potions are rendered obsolete
"It's odd, isn't it?" Lucius said as his eyes skimmed over the markings of ink made by Severus' quill.
Lucius' voice summoned Severus out of the stupor of note-taking and he looked up with a jolt, "What? What's odd?"
"The potions those roses make, I mean," Lucius answered. "That they just cancel each other out like that when they come into contact with each other. Why do they do that?"
"Well, since they are of equal potency, neither potion could ever possibly overtake the other. It's like in chess if two people of equal skill find that there's no way either will be able to beat the other anytime soon, then they call it a draw and end the game. That's how it is with these potions. Neither can win, so both become useless as tap water."
"That's pretty wimpy -- even for a flower," Lucius shook his head.
Severus only shrugged and returned to his notes. Though he did not consider himself a defeatist, Severus didn't entirely agree with Lucius. Years of observing his family's petty squabbles had taught him that even if a battle seems important, it is usually pointless in the end. No one ever fully wins any heated quarrel because each combatant loses a piece of his dignity to the futility of the act of fighting. The fact remained that Severus could think of nothing for which he would willing to fight wholeheartedly.
That last sentiment was quickly vanquished by the feeling of Lucius' hand gliding across his groin. Severus quivered at the pleasant sensation and moved his legs apart. His breath shortened as Lucius tightened his grip and tugged. As he continued his slippery strokes, Lucius grazed his lips against Severus flushed cheek. Severus' eyes rolled to the back of his head as he lost himself in ecstasy. When the pleasure reached its crescendo Severus stifled a blissful cry and turned it into a mere whimper. Though he needn't have bothered for the library was all but deserted, the librarian having scuttled carelessly away from her post.
Breathlessly, Severus embraced Lucius. Blood was still throbbing in his face as he seized Lucius' lips with his own. Despite the daze in which he had been immersed, Severus wondered aloud, "What brought that on?"
Lucius smiled silently and and then he said, "Do you want me to write those notes in good copy?"
"Err . . . all right."
