light at the end of the tunnel ((james))

Cepheus was not able to sleep tonight and decided to walk around the corridors late at night. It was a relaxing activity that Cepheus really did enjoy trying to dabble in. He knew Pandora would want to follow him, and he'd like to be able to be alone tonight and have his own thoughts.

The dungeons were dark, and Cepheus liked it.

Dark meant no one could know if death was on their doorstep. He liked it, not as he would ever kill someone at Hogwarts unless Lochlan gave orders to do such because he cared deeply about his image. He heard his father's stories of Azkaban and didn't want to end up there. He continued to walk, and the sound of footsteps in the distance made him look, and he tried to get a closer look to see who it was. "Hello?" he called from the distance.

@James Potter

James had gotten out from one of his late-night escapades and made the decision to go a floor down to evade detection by the prefects. It seemed logical enough to assume that they'd be focused on patrolling the rest of the castle. Technically, Slytherin and Gryffindor avoided each other's turfs as much as possible, but he felt as if it'd be a non-issue at this time.

He didn't realize just how dark it was down in the dungeons; it was barely lit enough for people to see a few meters ahead. Shit. There was someone else around.

"If I come into the light, will ya discipline me?"

@Cepheus Carrow

Cepheus found the response of the figure to be rather amusing to say the least. He’d love to discipline someone since it felt good to hear people’s cries. Although Cepheus didn’t feel like getting a ticket to Azkaban for breaking the law right now. “I’d rather not discipline you, because I don’t have that power yet.” pointed Cepheus, because one day he’d think he would achieve that. “Just come out into the fucking light.” said Cepheus, because he’d really love to see who this person was.

@James Potter

Don't have that power yet? The hell did he mean by that?

"Man, I was just askin' if yer a prefect."

At least he got an answer. It felt ever so slightly safer to reveal his presence in the snake den. "Damn, ya don't gotta be so insistent."

He moved into the voice's direction. Couldn't they have at least lit some torches on the wall?

@Cepheus Carrow

Cepheus walked closer to the pending voice trying to figure out who it was. He had got his wand out and shouted. “Lumos” and the light shot out the tip. He could see it was been James Potter, and a dark glare came across his face. “I do apologize, but one mustn’t be too laid back in the eyes of a Potter who I can smell the gay on.” he spoke with a chuckle. He could tell James was gay and sucked at trying to hide it.

“Would you rather me, be nice?” asked Cepheus, because he didn’t think he had sounded all that mean. He just wanted him to come into the light. “What’s a lion doing in the dens of the snakes?” he spoke trying to figure it out. Since it seemed like forbidden territory in Cepheus mind to have eagles and lions in his den, when it was bad enough the badgers were apart of it.

@James Potter

Smell the gay on? James sniffed his armpits and then looked forward with a grimace. Was he really that terrible at acting straight? How could the other guy tell? He could feel his heart racing at the realization that his house was more translucent than he thought.

"Is it really your business? I was gettin' laid, what d'ya think I was doing?"

Well, it only lasted half an hour at best and was extremely awkward.
