(P) Witch Weekly Head Office[7]

[Lazio]

*catches her eye*

Yes, I went to school with Draco Malfoy. We're old housemates from Slytherin.

*grins at her blushing*

Well, I would hope that anything I might say would be just between you and I. Unless I'm mistaken.

[Tallia Gauthier]

Of course. I'm not as fickle as my job title would suggest.

And I must have been at Hogwarts at the same time as you, although I left in my 5th year. I was in Ravenclaw.

*Sips the firewhiskey, catches his eye and smiles*

You can probably tell I don't entertain much. I tend to treat most social meetings as unrehearsed interviews.

*Sighs*

[Lazio]

*shrugs*

If that's how you communicate, who am I to stop you?

*smirks*

Now, why don't you come and scoot your chair a bit closer. It'd be so much more informal that way.

[Tallia Gauthier]

*Withdraws wand from her robes*

Wingardium Leviosa

*Watches as the armchair floats and comes to rest beside Theodore*

*She sits and draws her legs up underneath her*

There. Better?

I noticed you had a visitor the other day. She seemed to be carrying a parcel. Is she your lady friend?

[Lazio]

*laughs*

Why, you interesting in filling the position?

[Tallia Gauthier]

*Giggles*

Well, that depends how nice you are to me...

*Runs her hand softly down the side of his face*

*Laughs and takes another sip of firewhiskey*

[Lazio]

*places a hand upon her knee, giving it a squeeze*

I don't think I've ever been called nice in my life.

[Tallia Gauthier]

*Looks down at his hand, blushing furiously*

There's a first time for everything, you know...

I've never met anyone as forward as you but I'm not disliking the experience.

*Giggles, gazing intently at a frayed spot on the armchair*

[Lazio]

I'd much prefer it if you were to look me in the eyes when we speak.

*tucks a finger under her chin and tilts her face up and leans into her, his mouth nearly touching her own*

[Tallia Gauthier]

*Shivers at his touch and as she feels his hot breath on her lips she gazes deep into his eyes*

And... if I don't...

[Lazio]

*wets his lips, his eyes glinting*

Oh, I think it'd be in your best interest to please me.

[Tallia Gauthier]

*Still looking into his eyes*

Err...ok then.

How will you reward me for doing as you say?

*Bites her lip*

[Lazio]

*stares into her eyes and brushes his lips against hers*

You should get to know me better before asking such things.

[Tallia Gauthier]

Mr Nott!

*Laughs*

You take such liberties. You shouldn't do things like that or I may not be able to stop myself from pouncing on you.

*Flicks her hair and laughs again*

[Lazio]

*chuckles under his breath and pulls back a little*

And who's stopping you from pouncing, because if you think it is I, you are quite mistaken.
