“I think I had a pretty practical reasoning as to why I decided to ignore you.” she says rolling her eyes. “You were pissing me off and I told you repeatdly that I wanted you to leave me alone. But you were pretty insisting that I listen to you, and your methods of getting my attention weren’t exactly friendly either. Buy yeah I’m the annoying one,  right.” she says walking in before him. “ At least you can admit that your an asshole, now just admit you’re annoying.” she followed the waitress to their table, and sat, pulling over her jacket, hat and scarf and depositing them into her jacket hood. “So what exactly would I like here? Any suggestions?”

“I would just like to point out that if you hadn’t been stubbornly intent on ignoring me I wouldn’t have shoved you anywhere. So yes. You’re the annoying one. I’m the asshole. There is a huge difference.” He held the door open once they got close, and followed along behind her as they were led to a place to sit.

“I’m ready for our day out by the lake! What exactly was it that you’v’e got planned for us to do? I brought a lot of things just in case you planned anything crazy.” she says pulling the book bag further over her shoulder. “Ready to get going when you are!” 

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

“You’re definitely annoying.” she jokes. “Trying? Is you being sarcastic count as trying? I don’t think so mister.” she says laughing. Turning her attention back to where they were walking, she was grateful to see the sign for Madame Puddifoot’s in the distance. “Oh I’m annoying?? You’ve got some nerve, who was the one who trapped me in the alcove on the way to Transfiguration on Thursday? Oh that would’ve been you! Forcing someone on a date doesn’t exactly count as being cute. It’s not anywhere close to that.” a smile lays lazily on her lips, she’s glad that for once, although they’re bickering it’s all jokes and she’d enjoying the fact that his arm was around her just a little too much.

“I’m definitely that cute. Especially when I’m trying.” He said, grinning. “No problem, like I said, it would be a problem if you actually froze before we made it to tea. You’re much less annoying than usual right now and it would be a shame to waste that opportunity.” Zeus laughed a little, squeezing her playfully for just a moment.

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

Her cheeks heated up in embarrassment at not thinking to cast the simple charm. But her wand was in her purse & she wasn't about to pull it out and make her hands colder. "It's a blessing and a curse." She says with a laugh, sticking her tongue out at him, playfully. "Don't flatter yourself too much, Avery. Your not that cute." She rolls her eyes as he wraps an arm over her shoulders. She can't help but to lean into him s little, in turn wrapping an arm around his waist to keep him close. "Thanks." She mutters, peering up at him through her eyelashes.

“Sounds fine to me. Is there anywhere you’d like to go in particular? I’m not a huge fan of the decor, but Madame Puddifoot’s has particularly good tea.” He smiled over at Gracie,raising his eyebrows. “They serve warm beverages at all the places we could eat so I don’t need to worry too much about you turning to ice on the way there.”

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

She shivers, teeth chattering. Despite her jacket scarf & hat she was still freezing. Her growling stomach agreed with his idea of eating, and she wasn't about to disagree with the offer of food. "I'm not picky with what I choose to eat. Madame Puddifoot's sounds excellent. Anywhere warm sounds brilliant, at the moment." She says rubbing her hands together and then shoving them back in her pockets. "Maybe I'll dunk my hands in some warm water too. I think I'm getting the beginning stages of frost bite in this cold." She closes her mouth to keep her teeth chattering from the wind chill, and small flurries that floated through the air.

"I'm not trying to get sick out there, besides I'm always cold so the skit thing I need is to get sick while I'm out in this weather." She says as the begin walking. A warm smile rests on her lips at his response about her outfit because she know's he's joking with her. "See! You know it's cold when even you pull out a hat and a scarf." she says nudging the house scarf wrapped around his neck. "I'm a bit hungry, haven't eaten since this morning, shall we go to eat then?"

A Night Out // Gracie & Zeus

@theslytherinking-zeus

She’d managed to get through the rest of her classes with ease that Thursday. She’s not really sure how, considering Zeus was in most of hers, but it wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. Unfortunately, that meant putting up with him constantly checking in with her to make sure she understood that they were going out at 5pm on Saturday. When Saturday morning came around, she was hoping she’d wake with a cold or a headache, anything to keep her in bed and miss their night out. However, when she woke up she’d felt better than she’d felt all week. With no choice, she got up, went to Quidditch practice and then showered to get ready to go out with Zeus. She knew it was cold out, and decided on jeans, black Doc Martins, a thick wool sweater with a G across the front and her jacket, with gloves and beanie. She met him at the bottom of the stairs by the Great Hall. He hadn’t seemed to notice her presence yet and she walked up, tapping him on the shoulder. When he turned she had to resist the temptation to let her mouth hang open because he looked so nice. “You look very charming, Zeus. You clean up well.”

“Good. Maybe if we get there at a decent time I’ll be able to find someone to sit next to that isn’t annoying. Or are you going to be as insisting in class too?” she says and stomps off, just nearly making it to class. Unfortunately, it meant another one stuck next to Zeus, which she was none to happy about. 

Not The Time // Gracie & Zeus

“Fine!” Zeus said letting her by and wiping a hand over his face as he let her gain ground before following after her.

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

Grinding her teeth in annoyance she huffs. "Fine! Fine. One hour. That's all your getting. And don't try to trick me into getting the nasty cheap stuff. If we're going to Hogsmeade I want to enjoy myself. Understood?" she says. "Now as much as I'm loving this little conversation we're having, can we please get to class!?!"

Not The Time // Gracie & Zeus

Zeus turned in their potion and followed her out. Once he caught up, he pulled her into an alcove caging her in. “You are very irritating.” He said before taking a deep breath. “I’m sorry I said you had weird hormones. I was referring to the enzyme which is sometimes released after sex which causes those involved to feel infatuated. It wasn’t a personal insult. Second, I’m sorry for calling you a twat today. Third, I’m sorry I made it sound like I thought you were bad at potions, it wasn’t what I intended. Finally, you’re going out with me to hogsmeade this weekend.” He said in a rush.

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

"No, Zeus Avery. We're not going on a date. Ever. And if you don't get out of my way, you'll discover what I did to Slytherin's beaters with my bare hands last year when he put his hands on me. NOW MOVE."

Gracie rolls her eyes as she stands near the back wall. “Yeah well you’re not exactly a charmer either.I swear to god, Zeus if you do not move out of my way.” she spits balling her fists at her sides. “You might not care about our Transfiguration class, but I worked my butt off to get put into a higher class and I’m not about to be late. Now move!” she says attempting to shove him but only being gently forced even closer to the wall. “I know what your talking about! Trust me you would’ve known if I was in love with you. Or was me calling you an idiot not enough of a subtler hint that I strongly dislike you?”

“Yeah? Well, unfortunately my brains are the only thing that people ever seem to notice about me, even my own parents so you really hurt my feelings by saying acting like that. Being good at academics is all I’ve got, besides quidditch.” she lowers her eyes to her shoes, kicking around a stone. “I’m sorry I insulted your potion making skills. I know that you’re literally number 2 in our class, and that wasn’t always a thing either. We fight for that spot.” her head snaps up to look at him, “Excuse me what?! Not in a million fucking years. Not over my fucking dead body. Have you lost your mind?!?”

“Hm.. well let me see.. that might be because  you sure know how to insult someone without trying, so most people just assume your an idiot. Or maybe when they insult that fact your an girl and apparently that means you can’t control your emotions. Well, I’ll have you know that i’m completely in control of them. Right now I’m annoyed at your mere presence. Did you pick that up? Or was that just too complicated for you?” Gracie can feel her blood boiling at his name calling. 

He was right of course, the potions took a lot of work if you didn’t know what to do, and if someone made a mistake ( like her previous partners) you had to figure out the reason it went wrong, return it to its original properties and then begin again. She’d once been in the potion’s room for 3 and a half hours fixing a horrible mistake that her partner had made when she’d been in the hospital wing. She went on writing out the explanation of the potion and what it’s effects would be on the human body. She signed their names at the bottom and put away the ink and returned his quill. “If we’re done here, I’ll be going.” she says as she sets the paper at the front desk and exiting the room. 

Not The Time // Gracie & Zeus

Zeus rolled his eyes. “Why does everyone always try to insult my intelligence. I have perfect marks. In every class. My father is a healer, I’ve been raised making potions. I was being nice. You twit. The last six people you’ve been paired with are morons.” He said, huffing. “I figured after doing all the class work yourself for weeks you could use a break.” He told her, pushing her hands away and giving her a quill to start on the written assignment. 

“We’re almost done, you do the written part and I’ll finish this off.” Zeus added the last few ingredients with a practiced precision, stirring until it turned a bright shade of blue then faded to a deep purple. Once finished he bottled a sample and wrote their names on the cork.

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

She glared at him, rolling her eyes herself. “Pretend to help. Wow that’s real rich coming from you. Or did you forget last week when the professor announced the top five class standings? My grade in this class is higher than anything you’d ever hope to achieve. Not that you’d know anything about working hard hm?” she says.  “Already ahead of you.” Snatching the utensil from his hand she does what he asks and then sets it aside. “I’ll do the next step.” she says simply, not muttering a word to him after that other than to describe what she was doing, or how he could help. 

Not The Time // Gracie & Zeus

Zeus rolled his eyes, already through prepping half the ingredients. “Don’t worry about it, I’ll be done faster if you just pretend to help.” He said simply, measure out the last of the powdered ingredients they would be using on the scale. “I’m sorry. For what I said and how I treated you the other morning. I’m not great with dealing with other people and frankly I’m even worse feeling with girls.” He sighed quietly, beginning to put the potion together. “Would you stir that twelve times clockwise while I combine these?”

[grxcie-suttxn-blog]

Gracie glared at him, half resisting the urge to stand and move to a different seat, or to just walk out of class in general. "I don't have anything to say to you, Zeus. Just like you blew me off last week, surely you'll understand when I do it to you. Because my hormones are so weird, remember? It shouldn't come as a shock to you when I tell you that there was a reason that I'm avoiding it. Trust me, it'll work out better if we keep this whole cold shoulder routine going." She snaps. As she's standing to switch seats, their professor walks in and demands everyone finds a seat. Huffing angrily, she sits. "Just do your work and try not to irritate me too much, alright?"

@theslytherinking-zeus

She’d been doing so well to avoid him, to avoid all mentions of what her New Year’s had brought. She’d promised herself she wasn’t going to dwell on the fact that one of the guys she’d chosen to sleep with had turned out to be a total prick. Instead, she’d done what any normal person would do, is move on and not acknowledge any questions or nonsense. As she walked into potions that day, she was hoping that she’d actually have someone sit next to her that would do the work. Being early to class was usual for her, so she sat, reading another book for a class when she heard the chair next to her be pushed back as someone set their things down. She glanced up to the side to see who her lucky partner would be and nearly rolled her eyes. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Why the hell are you sitting here, Zeus.. you sit in the back, with your idiot friends. What’s made you suddenly changed your mind?”
