Sneaking Out (Wesley/Aubrey)
camera-geek-creevey:
After many snaps from the camera, he finally put it down and beamed proudly. “It’s amazing, Hogwarts never fails to amaze me. How can people be cool about this stuff? The kitchens are hidden behind a fruit ball! Genius!” He beamed stepping closer to Aubrey.
Wesley took out his wand and cleared his throat. “Accio MX7 Lens!” He said clearly, with a small pause he heard something zooming in his direction. He quickly turned around and saw a black circular object zooming towards him. On instinct, he grabbed the lens with both hands and then examined it. “Thank Merlin…” He gasped in shock. “Not a scratch!”
The Gryffindor made his way over to her and showed her the lens. “Incredible… Hey, what do you want for a snack?” He asked smiling cheerfully.
Aubrey sighed in relief, the camera lens was found, and now Aubrey could relax and grab herself a snack. “I guess we were all trying to be cool about it.” She shrugged, walking towards the cupboards to find some snacks. “I’m glad we found it, it would’ve been such a failure if we hadn’t.” She turned to look at Wes, a smile on her face. “I don’t know, but I’m feeling a bit hungry, it’s so late.” She grabbed her phone to look at the time, they were so off curfew that Aubrey was beginning to feel the weariness of the night hit her. She yawned. “I wonder if we can just make something without disturbing the house elves...” She looked around and walked towards Wes, “What’s your favourite snack? We can try and find it.” She was closer to him, and she smiled noticing his features. She kept wondering how it seemed that the night was a total success and she didn’t just mean the camera lens. Before that night, she had never paid much attention to the boy, she had always spent her time with her house mates and thought most of the other students thought her too much of a bitch to hang out with her. It was a relief to act herself, or at least being the person she thought she was.
Her train of thought vanished when she heard a creak coming from the portrait. She moved closer against Wes, she tried maintaining a face of cool and collected, but she could feel her heart pumping. They must have seen it coming, she thought, they were making too much noise and all for the sake of finding a camera lens. “Shit.” She whispered, bracing herself for getting caught. As promised, the caretaker, Umbridge 2.0 stepped inside with the same grin he would make every time he found students causing trouble. “Breaking curfew, I see...” Aubrey remained emotionless, she was weary of the caretaker, knowing that whatever move she made would be held against her. “Both of you have detention, this weekend.” She wanted to protest, Hogsmeade weekend was coming up, and she didn’t want to miss it, but she held her tongue and nodded. “Now go back to your dorms before I send you to the Headmaster.” Aubrey nodded and started walking towards the exit, she moved past the caretaker and quickly glanced back to see Wes. She gave him a half-smile and walked on towards the Slytherin Common Room.
