Midnight Strolls - Mycroft and Dusty

[private-cabose-blog]

It was late. She was late. How could she have been so stupid? After classes had ended, and after an adequate meal, Dusty had wandered to the library for some down time. There had been a few topics of choice she wouldn’t mind reading about, that and there was a novel she had wanted to read. Of course, she lost track of time, was forgotten, and now had to rush back to her room without getting caught.

Easier said than done. Trouble and danger was far from her norm, seeing as how her brother was the headmaster’s TA. He would know if she so much as placed a hair out of line. Stepping quietly and choosing her steps carefully, Dusty listened to the approaching footsteps. She crouched into the shadows to allow the night shift professor by without notice. The few books in her arms shifted off balance, and she quickly shoved them back into place, but it had made too much sound.

With a soft sigh, Dusty stood up and stepped into the light. “Good evening, Professor. Apologies for startling you.”

"What are you doing out this late, Miss McCarty?" He raised an eyebrow and took in her appearance, noting the books she was holding. "You didn't startle me. I'm merely making my rounds."

Slowly lowering his wand, he gestured her to come forward, a small smile appearing on his face. "So...what caused you to come out this late? As I'm aware, you're not on rounds this evening?"

"For me, yes it did. Better than taking my boredom elsewhere, isn’t it?” Thor asked, running a hand through his wet hair as Mycroft spoke. “Really? It’s such a lovely night, wouldn’t you prefer to stay out here and chat?” He asked with a small grin

[mycroftian-holmes]

Sighing, Mycroft gestured towards the castle again, his eyebrow still raised. "Willing to test your chances? Or are you waiting for me to escort you inside?" He stared down at Thor, keeping his gaze steely.

"Couldn’t sleep," he replied simply, shrugging as he finished getting dressed, looking at the professor for a moment. "And I felt that rather than disturbing any of the other sleeping students around me it would be best to do something productive," he replied, knowing it was a very weak argument but it was the only thing he could come up with on the spot. In all truth the answer was very simple, he was bored. 

[mycroftian-holmes]

Mycroft nodded, uncrossing his arms once Thor was completely dressed. "And 'being productive' meant swimming?" He let out a breath of air before gesturing back towards the castle. "Let's continue this...conversation inside, shall we?" He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Thor, daring him to argue.

Thor frowned as they didn’t respond, heading back to the shore and getting out of the water. He stopped for a moment as he was able to see who it was, wearing only a pair of dripping wet boxer shorts. He approached the professor, bending down and grabbing his clothes before starting to put them back on. “Ah, professor Holmes, always a pleasure,” he said, acting as though being out here in the middle of the night was no big deal. 

[mycroftian-holmes]

Mycroft raised an eyebrow as he emerged from the water, keeping the rest of his face impassive as he got dressed. "Delighted" His voice was it's usual monotone as he looked the teen up and down. "Care to explain why you happen to be out here, past curfew?" His voice was dripping with disdain.

Lakeside In The Moonlight || Thor + Mycroft

Thor felt the cold water of the lake crash against his body. It was practically pitch black, apart from the dull glow of the moon which twinkled on the surface of the water. He pushed himself through the water, heading towards the shoreline. He stopped as he felt his feet brush against the pebbles and looked up to where he’d left his belongings. There was someone stood there, watching him, though he couldn’t tell who it was. “Hello?” He called.

[mycroftian-holmes]

Mycroft had wandered out towards the lake during his round of patrolling the castle, checking that all was well. The motions of someone in the lake gained his attention and he slowly wandered down, wand out in front of him as he went. Getting closer to the edge of the lake, he looked down at the clothes in a pile at his feet, stowing away his wand. "Hm" He watched the figure continue swimming, crossing his arm as they called out to him, remaining stoic and silent.

Midnight Strolls | Mycroft, Loki & Gabe

[vampiricxharry]

Loki only smirked at the elder’s question but that smirk quickly faded as he heard the smashing coming from down the corridor. The younger student felt uneasy as the professor began smirking at him and let out a cry of surprise as he grabbed hold of him. He scowled as he began pushing him along the corridor and struggled against his grip as the young Slytherin was pushed round the corner. “Oh scary" Loki replied, his words dripping with sarcasm. 

Loki let out a sigh as the back of Gabe’s body became visible due to the light emitting from the other’s wand. He noticed the smashed bottle on the floor, and couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Gabriel’s clumsiness. “You’re such a klutz” Loki muttered, shaking his head and let out a ‘Hey’ as the professor jerked him forward. “Oh really? That’s nice of him” Loki said, with another sarcastic reply.

Wincing when the light loomed over him, Gabriel looked up at the professor as Loki replied to him. Opting to stay on the floor out of reach, he lazed back on his elbows and crossed his legs at his ankles. “Damn right it’s nice of me. Someone has to keep a sharp eye on him, Myc- Sir,” he tried to sound calm, but wasn’t sure if it worked, so he added a shit eating grin with his last word.

"On the other hand," Gabriel laid back and rested his hands on his stomach. "I’m quiet comfortable where I am now. Loki, come on down here. You’ve got to try out this floor. Watch out for the sharp bits."

[mycroftian-holmes]

Mycroft let out a long-suffering sigh, rolling his eyes. Using non-verbal magic, he tugged Gabriel to his feet, leaving him standing in front of him. "Mr Shurley, might I remind you that you have a perfectly comfortable bed from which to reacquaint yourself with Mr Odinson?" He raised an eyebrow and stared down at the student.

"And may I also remind you that your fathers may not be happy with the two of you wandering the halls after hours..." He trailed off and glanced around at the shattered jars and tipped out bags. "Caught stealing ingredients from the potions supply cupboard..."

Midnight Strolls | Mycroft, Loki & Gabe

[vampiricxharry]

Loki only shrugged and kept his hands behind his back, his eyes wavering on the other’s wand. “Professor, just because you work for the ministry and through that, my father, does not mean you are, in anyway, going to be seen more highly just because you tattle on me being out of bed,” Loki said, smirking and directing his eyes away from the wand and to Mycroft’s face. “And with my father being the Minister for Magic, you would think he has better things to do than deal with such frivolous matters?”

[definitionofbabe]

Another sleepless night, Gabriel grumbled as he rolled out of his warm bed. The floor was cooler on his bare feet, but he didn’t mind the change. He’d get used to it soon enough. That day had been far from tiring; mainly just lazing about picking his next victims, pretending to be paying attention. More than once he was called out on it, and each time he’d apologize and flash what he thought was an award winning grin.

All the better, he was supposed to meet up with Loki tonight. They were to prepare a few things for their next victim. No one else was awake, well, no one that could bother them. There would be night rounds, but they wouldn’t be a problem. At least he hoped not. Sticking to the shadows, Gabriel silently padded down the hall towards the closest potions supply closet. He was to get the supplies, and find Loki in the halls. Once at the closet, he grabbed a few jars and bags, and kicked the door shut with his foot thinking that the night round wasn’t close.

Voices echoed down the hall, and Gabriel froze. The professor wasn’t supposed to be in that area around this time. Fleeing to the shadows, he listened carefully to see who was caught, and he could only hope it wasn’t Loki. Silent as possible, Gabe glanced around the corner. Of course it was Loki, but Mycroft? He wasn’t supposed to be here tonight. Quickly stepped back, he went to rush back towards his dorm, perhaps a little too quickly. Gabriel tripped over his feet, and landed on the floor cursing out loud as one of the jars shattered on the hard floor.

Gritting his teeth slightly and glared at the insolent boy in front of him. "How do you know about my work with the ministry?" He waited a moment for an answer before tilting his head as he heard a smash coming from the corridor behind him. A smirk appeared on his face as he strode forward and grabbed Loki by the scruff of his neck, pushing him ahead of himself as he walked. "Keep walking or it won't just be a detention you'll be getting"

Striding forward with one hand on Loki's neck, the other hand pulling out his wand and keeping it ready infront of him, his umbrella dangling uselessly from the elbow of his wand hand. Turning the corner, he soundlessly cast the 'Lumos' spell, casting light over the back of a recognisable body. "Well well well... Looks like you'll have a partner for detention Mr Odinson...As it seems Mr Shurley here has elected to join you"

[vampiricxharry]

Damn...Loki thought as he heard the familiar footsteps of the arithmancy professor echoing down the corridor. He stopped and melted into the shadows, hoping that he hadn't been seen. Loki had perfected sneaking around the castle at night, but tonight, the professor had caught him by surprise. They must have changed the schedule, Loki thought, making a note to himself to inform Gabe.

The trickster sighed as the professor pulled out his wand and pointed it directly at him. Great...He rolled his eyes and stepped into the light, revealing himself. This wasn't the first time that the young Odinson had been caught out by the elder Slytherin and he just knew that he'd be informing his father about his extra circular activities.

[mycroftian-holmes]

"Out having a little stroll in the moonlight are we, Mr Odinson?" He relaxed out of his stance, keeping his wand trained on him. "I'll be sure to inform your father of your...extra curriculars, shall I?" He smirked and replaced his wand to his pocket before leaning on his umbrella.

Midnight Strolls - OPEN

Mycroft strolled down the long, empty corridor, keeping his senses open for any sign of disturbance, his umbrella twirling from the hand that wasn't tucked into his trouser pocket. He always loathed being on duty for the nightly rounds, but it was something that he took in stride. After all, being one of the more influential professors in the school meant that he had to take on a few responsibilities. Hearing a slightly sound to his right once he'd reached the junction of three corridors, he whipped around, bringing his right hand out of his pocket, his wand facing perpendicular to the rest of his body as he gazed into the darkness before him. "Reveal yourself at once or be prepared for dire consequences"
