Birthday Surprise || Jenny & Thomas

[jenny-foxworth-survivor]

Jenny nodded once, trying to act as confident as she’d felt only moments ago. “Good.” She didn’t say what she was thinking, which was a rant akin to things like; it didn’t suck did it? Partly because she didn’t want to know, but mostly because the whole point of all of this was to make him look at her differently, like the adult she actually was now.

When he asked her in, she nodded. “Yes please.” Stepping around him, she took a steadying breath. She could do this, she’d been in his office so many of times, she could probably navigate it with her eyes closed. Before she could turn to face him again, she caught sight of her old snow globe on his desk, and suddenly her nerve was back.

“Did you know it’s my birthday? I’m finally eighteen today, and all I really wanted, was to gather enough courage to kiss you; guess I got my wish, huh? Anyway, I know I’m not the first, student that is, and who knows, I may not be the last, but I just had to do it, you know?” Letting out a soft sigh, she stepped closer to O’Malley, no longer trying to be alluring, or anything other than herself. “I didn’t just ruin a good thing here, did I? I mean I can live with being rejected, I’ve been doing it for years, but you’re a good friend, Thomas, and I don’t want to lose that. Don’t go kissing me because you feel bad for me though, because being pitied is even worse than being rejected, but I wouldn’t mind doing it again..”

[kingofthehighway]

Shutting the door behind her, O’Malley turned to face the girl with a wide grin and eyes shining with mischief. Now that they were alone and no prying eyes could see them, O’Malley was feeling far more comfortable with what had just happened between them. Now they could explore just what it meant without having to worry about being caught. In fact...

Turning his attention back to the door for a short moment, O’Malley quickly locked it to ensure they would have all the privacy they wanted. As Jenny began talking, he turned his attention to her so he could listen closely. Her very first statement explained the outfit, which he took a moment to appreciate again with a lingering glace up and down her body.

Then he frowned at the mention of his kissing other students. This was not something he needed his students talking about much less thinking about. Sure he hadn’t been entirely too secretive about it, especially not at that one party. But he was trying to be professional for once in his life and couldn’t have rumors of his playboy ways floating around the school. However as she kept talking and talking, O’Malley was pulled out of his thoughts and instead focused on the girl in front of him.

“Woah slow down a minute, darling. You didn’t ruin anything here. I wouldn’t suggest making a habit of kissing teachers almost twice your age. But I don’t pity you and I would never kiss you just to make you feel better. I don’t make a habit of pacifying women with my kisses. I may seem a little... indiscriminate about who I kiss but I would never lead someone on. Unless you feel I led you on in which case I’m sorry.”

Realizing the implication of what he said, O’Malley shook his head softly before grinning and bringing a hand up to her cheek. “Now...I’d hate for you to see me as anything other than a gentleman but...” As his voice drifted off, he leaned into the young girl and brought their lips together again. Kissing her soft and sweetly, O’Malley hoped it wouldn’t stay so innocent but he wouldn’t be the one to push the issue.

[fairladymarian]

As he asked if he’d met her, her breath started to tangle in her chest. This was it, he was going to recognize her and she would have lost her reckless gamble. But instead, he introduced himself as if it didn’t matter and she relaxed slightly. He might vaguely recognize the face, but he wouldn’t recognize the name or the personality, so she had to keep him focused on those instead. She could do that. 

“Amy. And i’ve been around, but don’t see much point to it. Not when all the interesting stuff is here.” She shook his hand, offering him a flirtatious grin that included him in that interesting. May was probably going to some level of hell for flirting with a teacher, especially a teacher who didn’t currently recognize her so didn’t realize the position he was in. But Amy flirted to get wanted, and what she wanted was entertainment, so she kept it going. 

[kingofthehighway]

“Nice to meet you Amy.” He responded with a warm smile of his own. Something still seemed so outrageously familiar about the girl. But he could spend the whole night musing about it or he could strike up a conversation with the beautiful redhead to find out exactly what was behind that flirtatious smile she was giving him.

“There’s plenty of entertainment out there, especially for a girl like you. Why stay in a sleepy little town like this?” He asked while gesturing the bartender to pour him a whiskey so he could sip it slowly while he made conversation.

[got-bad-in-my-bones]

“Short version: it doesn’t matter how many bad decisions you just made, your job is to make the next one correct… so don’t disappoint me.”

[kingofthehighway]

“What makes you think I care whether you’re disappointed or not?”

“And why would you be trying to impress me? I’m just the girl who works in a bookshop and speaks French.” Still, she liked the idea of him reading the book because she had suggested it, and she hoped that he would enjoy it. She did love the book and sharing it was one of her favorite things. She blushed slightly at mentioning her eyes light up. “It’s hard not to get excited around a story so beautiful.”

She laughed before leaning forward. “You’re not that old. I’ll give you pity for some things but that is just asking for it,” she replied, teasing. “And I suppose this means we’ve established the other is better than being alone, but is that actually good company? I’m curious. What do you expect from your company?” Despite her arch comment she had a soft smile and she was curious about his answer. He interested her, but she wanted to be sure what he expected from this sort of interaction.

[kingofthehighway]

“Does that make you the kind of person who is undesirable for conversation? Because I beg to differ. You’re quick witted and clever and there’s much more to you than meets the eye. Your excitement over the thought of adventure is more than enough to keep me coming back for more. I never grow tired of talking about grand adventures.”

“You can’t fault me for trying,” He responded, his eyes lighting up in mischief at her calling him out. It was nice to hear though, that he wasn’t all that old. Especially coming from a beauty like her. “What a loaded question. But...I must admit I don’t expect all that much. If my company can manage to capture my imagination and make my heart soar in the same way my travels always did then I’m hooked. But on a far more basic level I expect nothing but interesting conversation that runs off on its own without much prodding on my part.” His response was honest and he hoped she would see it as such. “You...well I already know your company is the kind I enjoy. So why wouldn’t I want to sit right here at your table and have another opportunity to get to know you better?”

Birthday Surprise || Jenny & Thomas

This was it, the night had finally arrived, and Jenny wasn’t feeling nearly as nervous as she thought she would. She was standing in front of Thomas’ office door, knowing he was more likely to be there than anywhere else at this time of night. Still dressed from the birthday dinner she’d had in London with Winston, she smoothed out her dress, and fiddled with her purse chain as she brought her hand up to knock. Taking a deep breath, she rapped lightly three times, careful not to draw too much attention to the fact that she was out past curfew on a Wednesday night. Sure, it was her eighteenth birthday, but she knew a prefect wouldn’t care, and given the situation, she really didn’t want to wind up with detention.

Waiting for O’Malley to open the door, felt like an eternity, during which Jenny went over exactly what she wanted to say to him, and how she wanted to say it. There was a whole spiel, and she’d memorized it, but then he opened the door, and he was standing there in all his ruggedly handsome glory, and it went out the window. Giving him her best smile, she stood up on her tip toes, put a hand on the back of his neck, and kissed him gently. She was feeling very proud of herself for not fumbling it, or somehow missing his lips, but as she pulled back, unsure of how he’d react, her lack of nerves was faltering. With her pumps back on the floor safely, and her hand falling back to her side, she couldn’t help chuckling softly. “Hi.”

[kingofthehighway]

If anyone ever asked O’Malley what his least favorite part of teaching he would immediately respond “The bloody paperwork!” There were piles of it all around his office and he wasn’t even sure if there was a desk underneath all of the ungraded parchments that covered the surface. The worst part was the end of the semester was approaching far quicker than he liked and that meant all of the paperwork needed to be completed. So it wasn’t likely he would have an ounce of a social life until he made a sizable dent in the workload.

Student meetings had been scarcer and scarcer the closer the end of year tests came as well. No one was worried about their music lessons when there were OWLs and NEWTs to study for. Part of him relished in the quiet. But a larger part of him was creeped out by the silence. So when the knock came on the door, he jumped up from his paperwork far more enthusiastically than he cared to admit.

Opening the door to find Jenny standing there in a gorgeous dress looking done up for some sort of occasion was the last thing he expected. But it wasn’t an entirely unwelcome sight. Then she stepped forward and pulled him into the softest kiss his lips had felt in a long time and he realized that was the last thing he expected. 

“Now that was quite the hello.” He said once Jenny had pulled away shyly. He didn’t know what to make of the kiss as she stood there innocently in front of him. Was that...a one time thing? 

“Would you....like to come inside?” He didn’t think it was wise to leave the newest addition to his long list of students he had kissed standing out in the hallway for anyone to see.

She gave him an amused look. “You speak French and flirt casually. That tells me you enjoy a few of your own romances at least, and since you complain about being stuck here, you might like reading some that are truly wonderful.”

At the mischievous look, she sighed and shook her head. “Now you’re just trying to make me feel guilty. I can’t let you drown your sorrows after helping me out earlier. Normally I don’t meet anyone worth talking to while I’m here, so there’s no point trying. I can make an exception this once.” Maybe it was a bad idea, but she was hungry for interesting company and the potential for stories, and he was both. She could change her routine for once.

[kingofthehighway]

He laughed warmly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “So maybe I’m a romantic. I won’t deny that...since I’d hate to lie to a girl I’m trying so very hard to impress.” He responded, still chuckling with a wide smile on his face. “I will give it a read, if only to have the opportunity to talk to you about it later and see your eyes light up again.”

Leaning back against the cushioned booth, O’Malley regarded her with an amused smirk that only grew with her words. “I appreciate you pitying a poor lonely old man like me. A night of good company with a beautiful girl is more than enough to keep me from drowning my sorrows for a day or two at the very least. I certainly appreciate this.” He responded, his tone of voice a mixture of sarcasm and earnest sincerity. The night was shaping up to be far more interesting than it started and so he was very grateful Belle was willing to keep up their conversation that seemed to flow as effortlessly as their french did earlier.

[kingofthehighway]

Professor O'Malley, this is Rebecca Foxworth, Jennifer's mother, and I was hoping you might be able to tell me a bit about how she's doing. I've been keeping myself appraised of the goings on lately, and I'm a worried about her. My daughter might never admit it, but she has a tendency to want to run when things like this happen, and I'm afraid she might try again. I know you spend a decent amount of time with her, so I'm just wondering if you've noticed anything we should be aware of. Thank you.

O’Malley read the letter one afternoon and placed it silently on the desk where it was to remain for the next whole day, a constant reminder of the words on the page and how he needed to respond. But how could he? He didn’t want to divulge anything Jenny told him to the parent who had shown so little concern for the girl. But he also didn’t want her to worry. When he finally worked up the courage, Thomas pulled out some parchment and began to fuss with his response, drafting multiple versions before he was satisfied and sent it on its way.

Mrs. Foxworth, your daughter Jenny is one of the most talented individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She has a strong resolve to always work through difficulties in the pieces she performs and she always gives every performance her all. You have no need to worry about her and her education, I can assure you shes receiving all of the support and guidance she needs here at Hogwarts. If you have any more specific concerns about her lessons please feel free to write. Best regards, Thomas O’Malley

When a familiar voice called out to put the drink on his tab, May had to stop herself from tensing obviously. What were the odds that she would run into someone who recognized her? And yet - he simply nodded and turned away, as if he didn’t know. Was it possible that he had just bought her a drink to be kind, seeing it as a gift for a stranger? It wouldn’t be appropriate to buy a drink for a student - even an adult one - but he always flirted with what was appropriate. So she couldn’t be sure.

Well, there was only one way to find out. As soon as the shot arrived, Amy downed it in one go before turning to grin at the man. “Thanks for that. Mood I’m in, that buys you at least a couple minutes of conversation, more if you make it interesting.” She leaned against the bar, making a small motion at the bartender for the second shot.

[kingofthehighway]

O’Malley waited patiently, hoping she would speak up. After she downed the shot quickly, he was happy to hear her voice ring out with the kinda sharp wit that was enough to cut any many to the quick. But he never shied away from such a challenge so he turned to the girl with a warm smile. “Small blessings.” He began with a chuckle. “I’ll be sure to fill those few minutes with the kinda conversation that will keep you around.”

Looking at her, he was immediately hit with the feeling that he had met her before. Narrowing his eyes, he studied her face and looked her up and down. “Have I met you? ....Have you ever been to Scotland?” He asked, a shot in the dark. He couldn’t place was was so familiar about her. But instead of harping on it too much he decided to focus on the conversation at hand. Holding out his hand to her, he grinned. “O’Malley.”

Let’s All Go to the Bar || Thomas and Amy

It had been an early night for her in comparison to most. Danny had a job he wanted to take alone, and after working with Matix the others had all headed home to their own family. Of course this meant she should return to her own bed, but she was too restless for that. Returning to the castle meant returning to real life, responsibilities, consequences. She was going to put it off for as long as she could. 

Instead, she smoothed out her skirt and walked into the Hog’s Head bar inside Hogsmeade. Maybe this was a stupid risk she was talking, walking in so close to the castle, but she doubted anyone would recognize her here. Or if they did, they wouldn’t care. No students were going to be out so there was no danger there either. She could get a drink and forget for just a little bit longer. Walking up to the bar, she leaned against it and gave him a grin. “Shot of firewhiskey.”

[kingofthehighway]

O’Malley enjoyed quiet nights in Hogsmeade nursing a beer and people watching the interesting crowds of people who came in and out of Hogs Head. He often made up back stories for different characters, imagining their daring adventures and the many miles they had traveled to end up in this sleepy town. It helped distract him from his own less-than-ideal situation after all.

So when the striking redhead strolled up the the bar next to him and requested a firewhiskey, O’Malley couldn’t help but take notice. “Put it on my tab, Rick.” He called out with a friendly nod to the young woman. Not wanting to put any pressure on her, he turned back to his beer, simply happy to have saved the beautiful young woman a few dollars.

[katnotmowse]

Kat walked into the music room, looking around with interest. Professor O’Malley had contact her telling her that he’d finished the song and that it was time for her to learn it. She was curious, and it seemed like the perfect sort of distraction in everything else that was going on. “Professor O’Malley? I’m here.”

[kingofthehighway]

O’Malley was sitting in a chair strumming his guitar softly to himself when he heard the familiar voice call out. Looking up, he spotted Kat and a smile spread on his face. “Ms. Mowse! Right on time. Please, right this way.” He placed his guitar to the side as he walked to a staff standing in the middle of the room and gestured for her to join him. “Here is the sheet music. Would you like a minute to get familiar with the music before we jump right in?”

[toughest-alleycat-blog]

“I mean you could still be an asshole teacher. I’ve seen plenty who still manage to get paid, trust me.” Eventually he sighed, deciding to just give in. “Don’t, save your breath for the fermatas. I like painting, drawing, stuff like that.”

[kingofthehighway]

“Of course. But I much prefer to do things this way.” He responded with a soft smile. As the boy finally gave in, the smile grew. “Of course! Still creatively inclined just far more artistic. The O’Malley family certainly is talented, hmm?”

[katnotmowse]

kingofthehighway:

He couldn’t help but laugh at her response. “Of course. Of that I have no doubt.” He could tell there was much more to Katrina Mowse than met the eye. Which is why he kept coming back for more.

“And on that note, I think its time for me to head to my next class. I’ll see soon Professor.”

“Nope,” he said plainly, shaking his head, “deffinitely not. You’re more than welcome to tell them I was here of course, oh and be sure to tell them it was Jack Sparrow who was here…” he added before shaking his head, “but no, I have very little interest in being caught t’day. don’t have the time for it.”

[kingofthehighway]

“Jack Sparrow. Good to know,” He responded with an amused look at the man. “Then...might I suggest you go out the window you came in? I can’t be letting you loose in the castle after all. I always find it’s a good idea to trace my steps when I find myself in a situation I’d like to get out of.” O’Malley certainly was amused by this man but wasn’t sure when that amusement would fade as he began to outstay his welcome. “I can help you out of that window if you’d like.”

[la-belle-novaturient]

“I’m sure you will. After all I’m here almost every day.” She gave him a small smile although it didn’t reach her eyes. But then she turned toward the new customer who was approaching her desk and turned on her customer smile. “How can I help you?”

[kingofthehighway]

O’Malley watched as she turned to the new customer and a beaming smile spread on her lips. He took a short moment to study her face, almost as if to memorize her features, before he smiled to himself and turned away. As he strode out of the bookstore, he promised himself he would see the girl again.

[la-belle-novaturient]

Belle let out a small breath, as close to a laugh as she could without making sound. “That would make things hard. I heard there’s an ocean in between us and that city, and I’ve only heard of one man that could walk on water.” As he mentioned that he might read it, she leaned forward with a grin. “You should! And then you can tell me what you think. It’s one of the greatest romances in the English literary canon, it will definitely be worth it.”

“It is if you want to get a drink at the same time. Any alcohol in our house tends to get used in my father’s inventions somehow and I have no desire to stay at work longer than I have to. Besides, most of the time no one bothers me since I’m obviously not here to socialize so it works well enough.” She’d spent more nights than she was willing to admit sitting here with a book and a drink. It was one of her only luxuries she allowed herself, and it was more to keep herself sane than anything else. She needed time to relax. This was the best she got. 

[kingofthehighway]

“You never know what you can accomplish until you try. Maybe he’s not the only cat who can walk on water.” He responded with a warm laugh at her humor. She sure was charming. “So I must look like the romantic type to you, huh?”

He nodded at her response, the mention of her home life drawing a curious glace from him. But otherwise, he let her talk. “Fair enough. I suppose not everyone comes to bars for socialization and I’m sure reading that book is much better than simply drowning your sorrows in the bottom of a pint.” He chuckled before sitting up straighter. “I should let you get back to it them, hmm? After all...I’d hate to disturb your precious reading time and I really should get back to drowning my sorrows.” He smiled warmly, his eyes lighting up with mischief despite his words.

[jj-parr]

“Awesome! I don’t want to get in the way of her lessons, of course.” He grinned in kind to the music professor, not really expecting this much to come from such a random conversation, “Good. I’m not super musically inclined, so slow is good for me.” JJ laughed and nodded at him, “I’ll let you get back to your song writing… and I hope the muses come to you for lyrics.”

[kingofthehighway]

“No, I truly feel it will be good for her practice to help you. I look forward to seeing you again JJ,” He responded with a cordial wave before turning his attention back to his guitar and strumming it softly as he hummed to himself.

Her every reaction to his actions only urged him on more as he rubbed her clit faster and faster in time with his thrusts. Her moans, combined with the tightening of her sex was more than enough to push him closer and closer to the edge, but there was no way he was giving into the pleasure unless he was dragging her along with him.

But the escalation of her moans and the rolling clenching of her vagina was enough to tell him she had reached her orgasm and he went tumbling over the edge with her, shuddering and yelling as he came inside her. He grasped at every inch of her body as he thrust time and time again, his moans echoing on the stone walls and fading as the pleasure slowed. Grasping her hips, he finally pulled out of her with a strangled cry and looked down at the girl with lust filled eyes. “That was..quite the lesson.” He managed to quip, an amused smirk on his lips.
