the youth of the nation [derek]

[draven aleksander greyback]

It had been maybe a week since Gabby had last spent time with Derek on the Astronomy tower. That had been one fun time spent with Derek. Gabby had spent most of the past week with Adrian, killing time and trying to do some of her homework, but failing in general it seemed. She hadn't told Adrian about her little encounter with her brother, but figured it wasn't exactly his business either. He would find out eventually, she knew he would and when the time came she would just let him know that she could be friends with them both. Currently Gabby was spending some time away from the common room, tired of all the people there, so she had decided to wander about the corridors. There weren't many places in the castle she hadn't been but she just tended to double back on her own wanderings and pretty much just walk aimlessly about.

Currently the fifth year slytherin was wearing a pair of tight black jeans with a dark green, lacy shirt and some black heels. Her long blonde hair was tossed up in a messy bun and she had her ipod on, earphones in each ear. Gabby was pretty good at ignoring most everything that happened around her when she didn't feel like paying attention. Right now she was listening to some Mudvayne and dancing a little as she walked along. She didn't really care if anyone saw her, not that they would. It was nearing bedtime for most people in the castle, but she liked to stay out late when no one else was around. Heck when it was this late she could dance down the halls and do pretty much whatever she wanted as long as she avoided any lurking teachers.

Gabby's mind wandered to Derek and she wondered what the older Greyback was up to currently. Gabby let out a small sigh and glanced around to see if there was anyone around, there wasn't of course. To her left was one of those little benches set back in the wall, some beams in front of it, like a little alcove. She decided to wander into it and sit down for a bit, take a break from her dancing around. She propped her feet up on one side of the bench and leaned her head back against the wall on the other end. She needed something to do, someone to talk to, she was utterly and completely bored.

It wasn’t unusual for Derek to be lurking in the shadows of the Hogwarts Castle at night, it wasn’t something that was unusual for the lad and with his whole lycanthropy situation, it was something that the kid just couldn’t help. Stretching his long arms, he occasionally slipped through the windows and hung his body through enjoying the nice chilled air from outside. It was a bit strange for the boy, but whenever it was the full moon like today, the only thing that changed was that his teeth became more fang-like and he was very agitated and craved meat. ”Fuck.” mumbling under his breath as he continued up the stairs, it was just a joyous night to do whatever and not sleeping because let’s face it, on the night of the full moon. This is exactly what you would expect from any other part-werewolf being. His mind then thought of his youngest brother, Adrian. He saw this curse as a gift and yearned to be fully transformed into a full werewolf like their father. It was a bit crazy, his ideas but he was still family. It broke his heart that his plaything in the form of Gabrielle, was starting to grow on the Ravenclaw. It was as if she was able to pluck at his heartstrings, it was probably the half veela part of Elle that let her do that.

Speak of the devil; the beautiful vixen appeared in a matter of moments sitting on a chair as if something was bothering her as well. Derek would try something a bit unique; the Ravenclaw snuck his way through the shadows and ended up right next to her right ear. ”Hey baby, miss me?” he asked giving a small nibble on the neck before leaping over the chair and sitting on the bench over. He probably was going to get punched in the face for doing that but it was worth it, it was the very arrogant nature of the boy to do things that normal students would find peculiar or strange. ”So what’ve you been up to since that night.” he wondered, honestly he hadn’t thought much about her until tonight with Adrian. He liked her company, but it wasn’t something that Derek would constantly do unless he found her completely interesting, almost a puzzle to be unlocked and a game to be played. It was sadistic, but that’s exactly how the Ravenclaw saw life.

ooc - short as shit, mer.

Gabby jumped halfway out of her skin when she felt a nibble on her ear and then heard the velvet voice of none other than Derek Greyback. With a playful scowl she swatted at him and punched his arm "That wasn't funny!" she growled looking over at him. He had literally scared the shit out of her, she hadn't been expecting anyone else to really be wandering around the castle. He was so cocky and arrogant that she was amazed people could even handle to be around him, then again she loved his company so she supposed she was a hypocrite. "Who wouldn't miss you" she added with a small wink, boosting his ego even though that probably wasn't a good idea with someone who's head was already has big as Derek's was.

Gabby thought about it for a moment, what had she been up to since that last time they had spent time together? She had been trying to get caught up on her work just enough to keep her parents off her back, spending time with Adrian and of course being her usual self. She vaguely remembered making out with some slytherin guy a couple days ago in the prefect bathroom, but she couldn't remember his name for the life of her. "Oh you know, same ol' same ol'" she replied with a shrug "Hanging out with Paul or Josh or whatever his name was" she laughed.

"What about you?" she asked looking over at him with a smile. Gabby had thought about him a few times of course because she found him insanely attractive, but she hadn't dwelled on him. It wasn't hard for her to find someone willing to do this or that with her, but she had to admit that her time with Derek in the Astronomy tower had been a pretty darn good night. But at the same time Gabby didn't want Derek to think that she was constantly thinking about him so she made sure that she let it slip that she had been spending time with a guy or guys in the last week. That was part of who she was though, she always made it seem like she was interested but uninterested at the same time.

This was the best part about their playful but occasional serious nature, it was enjoyable and as soon as she punched him in the arm he felt in the zone. ’I’ve missed this.’ Derek laughed as he thought how easy his friendship with Gabrielle had become, and they’ve only hung out for one long session. It was so simple, he wondered what she was doing out so late. ”Right, right? Keep stroking my ego. You can stroke something else soon. If you know what I mean.” he winked at her and moved his eyebrows making a very suggestive gesture. He was so arrogant about himself that at this point with Derek, it should be like breathing. His words were so blunt and true that really, his friends couldn’t see him any other way.

”Oh, Paul or Josh. No Adrian. What a shame, I wrote him the other day and you’ve been a very naughty girl Gabrielle.” he laughed continuing to poke fun and laugh at Elle’s expense. ”But serious, you fucking anybody else? You know, I don’t like sharing my meals. I’m selfish like that. “ trying to already settle what he wanted from this relationship, it wouldn’t happen so early because Derek liked to play with his meat before eating it. ”Same. I enjoyed myself a lot, doing the usual thing.” he winked, referencing to his most favorite past time. ”Probably the same thing you did. Lots of homework, same ole crap. Quidditch practice.” he didn’t really know what he did, but he was sure that most of what he did was Quidditch and homework, he didn’t really have much time that week to do anything else. ”so what, were you out for a late night booty call or just enjoying your night?” He knew why he was up, but he wasn’t sure why she was.
