IT WAS WHY GEMMA LEA LOVED GOING TO HOGSMEADE. ALTHOUGH SHE'D BEEN VISITING THE VILLAGE SINCE THIRD YEAR, IT ALWAYS PROVIDED HER WITH A BREATHER OF SORTS FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF CASTLE EVENTS. HOGWARTS WAS BIG, BUT IT GOT RATHER TIRING WAITING FOR THE MOVING STAIRCASES AND HAVING PEEVES MOCK YOU IN THE HALLS AT NIGHT AFTER A QUICK SNOG SESSION WITH A BOY...OR TWO. WHILE AT HOGSMEADE, GEM TRIED TO IGNORE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT BOTHERED HER WHILE SHE WAS AT HOGWARTS AND RELAX. SHE STOPPED BY HONEYDUKES AND GRABBED A COUPLE OF CHOCOLATE FROGS, THEN STUFFED THEM IN HER BAG. AFTER HEADING OFF, SHE HEARD THE WRAPPERS CLUNKING AGAINST HER BOTTLE OF FIRE WHISKEY. GEMMA LAUGHED TO HERSELF AS SHE WALKED. SHE COULDN'T HELP BUT IGNORE THE SOUND. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT OTHER STUDENT EXPRESSIONS AS SHE WALKED PAST WERE VERY HUMOROUS. IT WASN'T AS THOUGH SHE DRESSED FOR OCCASION. THAT DAY, SHE SPORTED A BLACK DRESS WITH A SILVER BELT AROUND THE MIDDLE OF HER FORM, SLIGHTLY BELOW HER BREASTS. SHE ALSO WAS WEARING SILVER HEELS WITH BLACK ACCENTS, AND HER HAIR FLOWED IN CURLS AGAINST HER SKIN. REALISTICALLY, SHE WOULD HAVE MADEOUT WITH HERSELF IF THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE TO DO THE FAVOUR. GEMMA WALKED AWAY FROM THE BUSTLING STUDENTS IN HOGSMEADE AND HEADED TOWARD THE PLACE THAT MANY AVOIDED - THE SHRIEKING SHACK. GEM THOUGHT THE PLACE WAS ACTUALLY RATHER BORING. SHE ONLY REALLY LIKED IT BECAUSE OF THE QUIET SURROUNDING THE AREA. SHE KEPT WALKING UNTIL SHE REACHED THE FENCE THAT OVERLOOKED THE SHACK ITSELF. SHE SMILED, DECIDING NOT TO ACTUALLY GO OVER JUST YET. IF SOMEONE CAME ALONG THAT WAS WORTH SOME PRIVACY, SHE MIGHT CONSIDER HEADING OVER. INSTEAD, SHE NESTLED DOWN ON THE GROUND AND PULLED OUT HER BOTTLE OF WHISKEY AND A CHOCOLATE FROG. SHE GRINNED TO HERSELF AS SHE POPPED OPEN THE BOTTLE AND BEGAN DRINKING, CLOSING HER EYES AS SHE FELT THE BURNING SENSATION COAT HER THROAT. AH. THIS WAS THE LIFE. ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

YOUR BODY’S COLD BUT GIRL,

WE‘RE GETTING SO WARM

Hogsmeade weekends weren’t exactly Mason’s favorite thing to do during the school year, it was an excuse for everyone to run around the village unsupervised and act like obnoxious five year olds. Personally, if he could avoid big group events such as this, he would. He’d much prefer to sit out by the lake with a book, spend his evening reading or possibly finding a girl to keep him company for the night. Despite his wishes, Mace had actually needed to head to the village to pick up some things for his classes.

Exiting the shops, fresh school supplies in hand, he had full intentions of finding somewhere quiet and peacefully, somewhere away from all the annoying students buzzing about. Mace wasn’t really a bookworm, he just wanted to be perfect at everything, which meant he did put effort into his school work. Luckily, he was a natural and his classes mostly came easy for him.

Mason began making his way down a slightly familiar path, the few times he did bother to attend Hogsmeade trips, he usually made a visit to the shrieking shack to get a break. As he walked away from the shops, less and less students appeared around him, finally his headache might actually go away, now that there was quiet. Nearing the gate surrounding the off limits building, he noticed someone sitting down against it. Atleast on person was better than a flock of them, so he continued on until he made out Gemma Finnigan.

His eyes immediately caught site of the drink in her hand, a smirk crossing his lips as he walked up to her. ”I hope you’re sharing,” he commented, not bothering with greetings. Actually, a few drinks of that and his headache would be completely forgotten. Mason didn’t bother with many people, they got on his nerves or just weren’t worth the time, but he was not biased in who could end up being worth his time. Despite Gemma Finnigan being a Hufflepuff and a half-blood, he found her to be rather good company, and not to mention a wonderful snog. They got along rather well, better than he had ever gotten along with anyone. He wasn’t sure what to title them, it started off as just a few snog sessions and turned into something of a real friendship, which was a strange thought for him. They were far from any type of real relationship, but she was closest he had to anything resembling a friendship.

THEY ACTED SO INNOCENT AND FRAGILE. WHAT WAS THE POINT? GEM DIDN'T WANT TO BE THAT WAY, NOT EVEN FOR PRETEND. SHE COULD PROTECT HERSELF AND WANTED TO DO THINGS BY HERSELF. IT SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF GIRLS HAD TO HAVE A MAN BY THEIR SIDE TO BE COMPLETE. THAT WAS NO WAY TO LIVE. GEM LISTENED TO THE MUSIC FAR-OFF IN THE VILLAGE AND SWAYED BACK AND FORTH, BOBBING HER HEAD. SHE FLIPPED HER HAIR BACK AND AS SHE DID SO, OPENED HER EYES. SHE PUT DOWN THE BOTTLE AND GRINNED AT THE HANDSOME BOY BEFORE HER. "HM, I GUESS I CAN SHARE - BUT, ONLY WITH YOU,"

[/COLOR] SHE SAID AND FLASHED A SMILE. GEMMA LEA STOOD AND MOVED FORWARD TOWARD HIM, THE BOTTLE HANGING AT HER SIDE. "WHAT WOULD I GET IN RETURN FOR SHARING? I NEVER GIVE FREEBIES - YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT,"[/COLOR] SHE SNICKERED, SMIRKING AT HIM. SHE PULLED THE BOTTLE UP TO HER LIPS AND LICKED THE TIP, THEN TOOK A SWIG AND PUT IT UP TO HIS LIPS. GEM MOVED HER BODY CLOSER TO HIS AND GRAZED HER CHEEK AGAINST HIS OWN. "GO 'HEAD,"[/COLOR] SHE SAID, THEN MOVED THE BOTTLE FROM HIS LIPS AND SHOVED IT INTO HIS HAND.

SHE TURNED AND SAT DOWN ONCE AGAIN, DIGGING THROUGH HER PURSE FOR A CHOCOLATE FROG. GEMMA BIT HER LOWER LIP AS SHE UNWRAPPED IT, THEN LET IT SIT IN HER HAND. SHE LAUGHED AS IT TRIED TO HOP OUT OF HER HAND, AND SHE CAUGHT IT WITH THE OTHER, BITING ITS HEAD. SHE CHEWED AND LOOKED UP AT HIM, THEN LICKED HER LIPS. "WANT ONE OF THESE, TOO?"[/COLOR] SHE OFFERED, RAISING HER EYEBROWS AND SMILING AT HIM.

Mason didn’t turn down a little fun, unless the girl was particularly unbearable, generally though if you distracted them from speaking it worked out well. Gemma was not like any other girls he knew in the school though, he didn’t mind being around her and listening to her. Of course, doing more than just talking was always the better option, hands down.

When she stood up, asking what she got in return, he smirked before looking her up and down. ”I thought you always gave out freebies,” he teased, raising an eyebrow as she took a drink from the glass bottle. Mace was aware that she hooked up with almost any guy in the school, which fit him well since he was the same way with the girls. As her body pressed near his, he kept his face passive, he didn’t show emotions on his face, he didn’t want anyone to know how he felt or what was running through his mind. Once he held the body in his hand, he took a swig, his eyes following her as she sat down. He wanted her, he always wanted her, she knew how tease and be seductive, he never let her know how much she got to him though. Then again, by now she might actually be able to tell, he wasn’t sure, they’d been doing this for a while now. He’d never repeatedly been with the same girl, he enjoyed switching it up, but she kept him coming back for more.

Watching the chocolate frog struggle in her hands, he scrunched up his nose a little, shaking his head at her offer. ”Something about eating things that move doesn’t sit well with me,” he commented, moving to sit beside her, taking another swig and enjoying the burn that spread down his throat. Mason’s eyes moved to look at her again, watching her lick her lips. ”I will take one of those though,” he said with a smirk, leaning in so his lips were nearly touching hers. ”That is, if you want it too.” Of course he was never one to care what others wanted. Mace wasn't one to ever dwell on his feelings, he pushed them all aside, they never ended with anything good anyway.

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG. SHE LAUGHED AT HIS NOTION OF FREEBIES. "OH, DIDN'T YOU HEAR? EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF THIS. I MIGHT AS WELL GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE EXCHANGE, HUH?" SHE OFFERED, THEN SMILED AS SHE BROUGHT HER FINGER TO HER LIP AND SUCKED THE CHOCOLATE OFF IT, LOOKING AT HIM OVER HER SKIN, HER CHIN TILTED UP, A SMIRK PLAYING UP HER FEATURES. GEMMA WATCHED AS HE MOVED IN CLOSE TO HER. HIS BREATH STILLED AGAINST HER CHEEKS, WARMING HER. SHE FELT IT OOZE DOWN HER CHEST AND SINK INTO HER BODY, DISSIPATING EVENTUALLY AS IT SNEAKED UNDER HER CLOTHES. GEM LOOKED INTO MASON'S EYES AND GRINNED, MOVING HER HAND UP TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK. SHE STROKED HIS SKIN WITH HER FINGERS GENTLY, THEN GRABBED, SOFTLY, HIS TUFFS OF HAIR AT THE BACK AND PULLED HIM IN, SEALING THE DEAL. SHE MOVED HER OTHER HAND TO WRAP AROUND HIS SHOULDER, ATTEMPTING TO PULL HIM CLOSER. GEMMA LEA PULLED HERSELF INTO THE BOY'S LAP, HER LEGS HANGING OFF HIS AS SHE CRADLED INTO HIS POSITION. SHE MOVED HER BODY THOUGH, STRADDLING HIM AND PINNING HIM TO THE GROUND AS SHE PUSHED HER LIPS AGAINST HIS. HIS BODY CRASHED AGAINST HER OWN LIKE OCEAN WAVES HITTING THE SHORE, FOAMING AT THE MOUTH YET SOOTHING ITS VICTIM ALL THE WHILE. GEM SMILED THROUGH THEIR HARD KISSES, THEN PULLED AWAY AND SAT UP, LOOKING DOWN AT HIM AS HE LAY UNDERNEATH HER. "SATISFIED, DARLING?" SHE INQUIRED, LICKING HER LIPS ONCE MORE AND SNICKERING DEVILISHLY. HE WAS THE ONE GUY THAT ACTUALLY MADE THIS WHOLE CHARADE FUN. ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

Mace was well aware of Gemma hooking up with a bunch of guys around the school, he’d even heard of a few guys being interested in her and jealous of other guys she’d been with. He found that amusing, because he couldn’t picture her settling down to one guy anytime soon, it didn’t cross his mind that this could be because he would be jealous. It was strange how someone could be so blocked off from their own feelings, but he really was completely unaware of any of his emotions, he only ever got annoyed with others or wanted certain females around the school.

When she closed the gap between them, Mason kissed her back, setting the fire whiskey on the ground near them, his hands resting lightly on her waist as she slid onto his lap. He actually had begun to know her body well, it fit perfectly in his when she straddled him, his hands running up her back as he was pushed back onto the ground. This was far from anything inappropriate for public view, atleast compared to their usual. His lips moved against hers a bit roughly, opening his eyes when she tugged away and sat up.

Raising an eyebrow at her comment, Mace smirked back, before shaking his head slightly. ”Not nearly as much as I want to be,” he replied, looking her up and down, his hands had moved back to rest lightly on her waist when she sat up. ”We should definitely be in this position more often,” he commented thoughtfully, giving her a playful smirk, he didn’t joke or tease much with anyone other than her. He wasn’t sure when he began to actually feel comfortable around her, even if he was only slightly at ease, it was still more than he was with anyone else. Seeing as they were laying on the ground outside the shrieking shake, he wasn’t actually expecting anything to happen, but just being here with her was turning into more fun than he would have on his own.

THERE WAS NOTHING FOR HIM TO SEE, BUT SHE WAS SURE HE COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WAS UNDERNEATH HER CLOTHES. SHE RAN HER HANDS THROUGH HER HAIR THEN PLACED THEM BACK ON HIS CHEST, LOOKING AT HIM. SHE CHUCKLED LIGHTLY AT HIS SMALL JOKE, SHAKING HER HAIR BACK. "OH, I COMPLETELY AGREE," SHE MOTIONED, SETTLING ON THE IDEA THAT THE POSITION WITH HIM WAS ACTUALLY QUITE COMFORTABLE. SHE ALWAYS FELT COMFORTABLE AROUND HIM, THOUGH. IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY LET HIM SEE SHE HAD FEELINGS, BUT IT WAS THE BEST THING SHE HAD. MASON WAS THE CLOSEST THING TO A BESTFRIEND THAT SHE HAD, AND SHE COMPLETELY RESPECTED HIS OPINIONS AND TRADITIONS. SHE WOULD NEVER CROSS THE LINE OF ASKING TO BE TAKEN ON A DATE, TO SLEEP OVER NIGHT WITH HIM, OR TO GET A BIRTHDAY GIFT. NO, GEM DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN THE SPONTINUITY OF WHAT THEY HAD. SHE WAS SURE THAT JUST LIKE EVRY OTHER GUY, HE'D RUN AWAY AT THE FIRST HINT OF COMMITTMENT. SHE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GO ANYWHERE, AND AS SUCH SHE REMAINED CONTENT WITH THE WAY THEIR FRIENDSHIP WAS. HER BROWN LOCKS FELL IN FRONT OF HER FACE AS SHE LEANED FORWARD AND KISSED HIM PASSIONATELY ONCE MORE. GEMMA LEA PULLED UP SLIGHTLY AND STARED INTO HIS EYES, GRINNING. "MMM, BE CAREFUL - I COULD DROWN IN YOUR KISSES," SHE WHISPERED, THEN GRACED HER LIPS WITH THE TOUCH OF HIS. MASON WAS SURE TO HAVE NOTICED THAT SHE DID THIS WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. SHE WASN'T REALLY A WHORE OR ANYTHING, SHE JUST DIDN'T LIKE TO STICK TO ONE PERSON. WHAT WAS THE POINT? TO GET HER HEART BROKEN? NO THANKS. ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

Mason was the type to ignore hints toward his feelings, while he hid them from himself so well sometimes his still reacted on them without even noticing. He made himself so oblivious, not wanting to have anything to do with emotions and other silly things that got you hurt and into trouble. In his mind, caving into all your emotions was weak, it held you back in so many ways, he blocked them off and had no worries. Which was why there were certain things that he didn’t dwell on, he ignored that that they were odd because he didn’t want to think of anything they could mean. Such as the fact that he didn’t have to kiss or do anything with Gemma Finnigan to enjoy himself around her.

He had not interest in ever having feelings for any girl, or any person. He hated his parents, distanced himself from anyone who could potentially be a real friend, and kept girls to just hook ups. Although Mace didn’t think much on it, he would likely be completely alone when he got old, because no girl wanted to just share a bed with an old guy and people had families, no one needed to talk to someone who wasn’t their friend. Yeah, he just didn’t think much on that topic.

Her lips found his once again as she leaned down, her hair tickling his face and neck, his hands gripping tighter onto her waist now, as if he were trying to keep her there. Mason looked up at her, smirking at her comment, ”I don’t mind getting lost in kisses,” he replied, before her lips lightly brushed his. His hand slid up, moving to rest on the back of her neck, pulling her down gently for a real kiss, his lips brushing hers. He still had no idea how one night together had ended up with them repeatedly seeing one another, it wasn’t his style, yet here he was. As he deepened the kiss, holding her tightly against him now, he thought of how he would miss then once they graduated next year, then he quickly took the thought back.

Mason let her go, breaking the kiss but keeping his eyes closed, relaxing his body so he was like a rag doll laying on the ground. He tried to clear his mind, because that was an unusual thought for him and he was certain that he had not liked thinking it. Just such a small thought made him want to run away now, after a minute he opened his eyes and looked up at her. ”You’re distracting me, I still had several things to do today,” he lied, making a story for his escape, clearly he couldn’t be here with her right now.
