Josh Delk could not find his way to the Slytherin Dorms to save his life. He had been wondering around these dank and depressing dungeons for well over an hour. Finally giving up he sat down with his back up against the wall. No one had been able to help him or so they said. He pulled his legs up to his chest pressing the back of his head aginst the cool stones. Well, he thought to him self, I could mope around here all night or try again.

(do you mind? ^_^)


Molly had just finished her potions lesson and was heading back to her own dorm, when up ahead she saw a sillouette, She froze and turned on her heel. Maybe she should take the other longer route, but then, He was sat on the cobble stone floor, in the dugeons and it wasn't a very nice place to be alone. She pouted her lips and turned again and headed toward him and frowned looking down at him, "You alright?" her soft voice sounded.

Delk looked up at the sudden voice. Flashing a charming smile, "I was looking for the Slytherin Dorms actually." his accent thick with a German heritage. "So where are you coming from?" He asked oozing charisma and charm. His gray eyes meeting her's. "I'm Josh Delk by the way. But every one just calls me Delk." He stood up and gave a gracious bow. "It's a pleasure to make your aquantince."

Gary wondered through the halls, rather hungry and rather bored. Despite his hunger, he was strangely not in the mood to hunt. He wasn't sure what had brought him to the dungeons either, maybe to catch a glimpse of Marcus... Despite Rose's hatred for him, he still didn't like to see her upset, and part of him felt like it was his duty to help her. He heard voices and cocked his head to the side, changing his path slightly. He saw two people and smiled, perhaps he could just make some new friends instead. "Did i hear that someone was lost?" he asked, stepping out of the shadows into the candle light.

Gary bit back his laughter, it wouldn't be good to laugh at a Slytherin anyway. "Gary Nightshade," he said, taking the boy's hand and shaking it firmly. His eyes drifted over Delk's body quickly, too fast for human eyes to see, and back up to his eyes. "Pleasure to meet you i'm sure," he said, "And the dorms are down there." He pointed down the corridor, "Go straight then turn right and they're the second door on the left. And don't ask how i know that," he said, with a wink.

[GATE CRASH TIME ;D]


Alex casually walked round the corner and immediately spotted Gary. Grinning he ran up to him and pounced on his back, expecting a lift. Suddenly he spotted someone else, a Slytherin by uniform, but not by attitude. He smiled and dropped himself down and walked to Gary's side, "Hello, I don't think we've met," he said, biting his bottom lip. He looked up at Gary and frowned slightly as if to say, 'Have you?'. "I'm Alex. Alex Cien," he smiled, slipping a hand into Gary's.

Gary chuckled and raised his eyebrow, tapping his nose lightly, "That's for me to know....and for you to perhaps find out over a drink sometime." He winked again then positively beamed when Alex appeared. He grabbed his boyfriend's hand and squeezed it gently, shaking his head slightly to the question in his eyes. He looked back at Delk and smiled, "Want us to show you the way?" he asked, glancing at the girl who he hadn't yet spoken to. 'Hufflepuff...hmmm could be boring,' he thought, turning his attention back to Delk and Alex.

Christy heard people talking and followed the sound down the corridor. She saw three people she knew and one of them being Delk and she run up practically tackling him, "Delk!" she exclaimed as she jumped on him laughing, "What are you doing?"

"You should recognise me. I'm the last headmasters son," he said to Josh smiling. Alex was about to say something else when Christy walked in behind him. He squeezed Gary's hand in return and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek. He didn't care if Delk saw - he would find out anyway. The whole school knew. He smiled again, "Go where?" he whispered to Gary, having not bothered to listen into their conversation before he turned up.

Christy frowned when Delk put her down, "So where are we going then?" she asked him curiously, "I know you haven't snuck out late here yet and its really getting to you." she smiled knowing her old friend all too well. "So where all are we going tonight?"

Gary smirked, "Show him to the dorms," he breathed, knowing only Alex would be able to hear. He winked briefly then saw a streak of blonde hair fly through the air towards Delk. "Christy!" he exclaimed, smiling broadly. He had yet to say hello to her properly yet, seeing as he had had other issues to deal with when he had first gotten back. "It's great to see you again, how come you're back?" he asked.

Christy ran up to Gary and hugged him, having not seen him in ages other than a few nights ago when he first showed back up. "I finished a year early at Beauxbatons and it was either here or stay at home for another year so I decided to come here." she continued to say, knowing that at least here she had some friends and things to do where as at home she had nothing to do.

Alex let Gary and Christy talk - party because he was too shocked to reply to Delk's comment, and partly because it was polite. But really, it was because of the comment. He blushed slightly and tried to think of something to say in return. But he was fresh out of ideas. So he was cute huh? Well, it was better than nothing. Biting his bottom lip he interlocked Gary's fingers, glad that he didn't seem to have heard.

Gary smiled and let go of Alex's hand to hug Christy properly, "Well it's great to have you back again! I missed you terribly when you left!" he said, letting her go but keeping his hands on her shoulders. "And it seems you know Delk here?" he said, glancing over her shoulder at the guy - hot guy - who he'd just met. "Well Delk, shall we all take you to the dorms, or would you prefer to chose your er...escort?!"

Gary chuckled, "Ahhh now that really does sound like a plan." He grinned mischieviosly and grabbed Alex's and Christy's hand, "Come on then! Where to, Delk? Or are you going to get us lost?!" He smirked and winked, showing he was only joking. There was an excited gleam in his eye, giving him a slightly younger appearance than normal.

[Ahhh sucks! Speak soon xxxx]
