Re: Parkinson Home

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco reached for a french toast stick of his own and reached behind him to get a jug of syrup to go with it. "Well at least now you have time at school, and you can come hide down here on weekends like this and duel." He finished off the french toast stick and picked up an orange, peeling it.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy smiled and nodded, finishing up the french toast stick in her hand. "True. I haven't done it in ages though. I miss it, but I guess things have gotten busy and weird lately." She gave him a significant glance, since he was greatly a part of the fact that she hadn't been dueling lately. She'd taken it up again during their first major fight, back before Christmas, but hadn't had much time after that once they had started spending so much time together. "Maybe I should pick up practicing again. It'd be useful to be a good duelist if I'm heading out on my own after graduation."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco grinned at her significant glance and shrugged, "You could always do that while I'm at quidditch. Practices are going to have to pick up when I get back, only a few games left to win the championship with." He finishes the orange and leaned against the back of the makeshift bed, wondering how soon he should get up and back to his own room before Leo arrived, or at least in pants.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

"Yeah, I think I might start doing that. Both of us go to practice at the same time, and then shower and then we can catch up, so I don't sit around bored or wasting time with homework." She laughed, grabbing a couple little strawberries and biting the end off of one. She noticed Draco looking carefully over to the door a few times, and nudged him. "Just go put pants on. There's nothing he'll be upset about if we're just sitting here eating together, as long as you've got on some real clothes."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco grinned and got up, "Okay be right back." He went into his room, took a super fast shower just to get the night's grime off him and changed into regular clothing then headed back into the room and sat down next to her, "There we go, all better now." He picked up a pear and used a slicing charm to cut it into strips. "Want some?"

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy has no idea where Draco went to take a shower but I guess if you're an of-age wizard you can do whatever you want. "Much more presentable." She laughed, ignoring the fact that she was still in her pajamas, but it wasn't like her father would mind. In fact he probably expected it, as well as he knew his daughter. "Sure, thanks." She took a slice from him, eating it in little bites as always.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco used the super-secret bathroom down here that Leo uses when he doesn't want to go upstairs. What use would a basement den be without a bathroom I ask you. Anyway Draco left the plate between them and lay back down again, happy and full now. "So what do you want to do today?"

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy would like to inquire as to how Draco knows of such a bathroom when she does not, since she's been coming down here for much longer than Draco has. Pansy kept picking at the food on the plate, eating a little here and there. She shrugged at his question, smiling as she picked up another strawberry. "I don't know. We can't really go anywhere other than down here, but I'm sure we could find something interesting to do."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco just knows these things. It's part of the Death Eater code. All bathrooms are located in a specific place. "I'm sure we will. So what other sorts of things are their down here? I mean we saw a lot of books last night but are there other rooms for different purposes?" He wasn't wondering about a potions lab, that would be ridiculous.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

That's a rather odd thing to be a part of the code. "Well, he's got the dueling room, I've not been in there in ages. I think he has some kind of sauna down here too, you know, steam room and hot tub or something." Pansy shrugged. He'd gotten that installed a while back, because after a long day of dueling, not much felt better than that. It's a shame the real fun of such things is sort of wasted on them though, since they're recovering from that fight and she's still a strict unicorn. "Not sure what else. We could always just wander around until we find things."

[Draco Malfoy]

And because they don't appreciate it right Draco is sad, not that that will stop him from using one or both at some point today. After all a sauna is nice even without the fun parts. "A sauna sounds nice at some point but maybe explore and see if there's anything else you don't know about." He picked up the book and lay it on his lap again, flipping through it to find where he was. "These books are amazing by the way, I'm learning so much from them. I wish I'd had these for my project, I'd have been done months earlier."

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

"Well that would have been great to know. I could've had you back much sooner." She laughed, finishing what she wanted of their breakfast and putting the plate off to the side. "Well I guess I'll go get ready so we can explore a bit before daddy comes down after lunch. We've probably got until two, I'd say." She climbed over him and got off the couch-bed, picking some clothes out of her bag and heading back through to the apparently secret shower room. A soft voice called back to where Draco was, only after a few moments of many small arguments and attempts at decision making in her head. "Come sit on the sink and talk to me?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco looked up from his book when he heard her and grinned, getting up and walking through. "Of course." She was already in the steaming shower and he looked in the mirror, tugging the short ends of his hair. "I didn't realise how fast my hair has actually grown." He looked for a moment longer before turning around and sitting on the sink in his usual spot. The barroom was all done in a black marble and Draco was glad for all the heat from Pansy's shower otherwise his butt would have been freezing.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy is glad her love of a very very hot shower is saving Draco's butt from chill right now. "It has. I'm surprised actually, I thought it'd have taken longer to get back to how it was at least at the beginning of the year. Part of me wonders why they cut it, rather than simply getting you to grow it out like your father. Since they're working on making you into him in essentially every other way they can manage." She closed her eyes, scrubbing the shampoo through her hair and breathing in the thick steam from the shower's downpour.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco shrugged then realised she couldn't see him. "I don't know, maybe because I wasn't growing it all the same length. I wouldn't want to anyway, I'd rather keep it short than that length." He looked around, picking up the couple of bottles on the counter to see what there was. Nothing all that interesting, just soap and a couple of air freshener things that had never been opened or used.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

"I suppose so." Pansy fell silent for a little while, rinsing out her hair and washing off her body. "Any idea what you want to do today? I know we talked about looking around here to see what there was. And we could always try and sneak out to the gardens later if it's nice, but that's a bit riskier for getting caught. We'd have to find our old hiding places again."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco thought for a moment, "We can always ask your father, I bet your mother'll go out for the day so we can go wherever we want as long as we're careful. And we can always use a disillusionment charm to get back in if she's home." He shrugged and leaned back. "You almost done? Want a towel yet?"

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

"You're probably right with that. Daddy does tend to try and get her out of the house for most of the day anyway. We'll talk to him and see and maybe we can go outside and enjoy the sun or something." Pansy finished up her shower, turning the water off. She stuck her head out of the side and smiled at him, taking the towel when he held it out to her. Ducking back inside, she dried off a bit and wrapped it around her before stepping out and hurrying past him to go back to where her bag was in her makeshift bedroom. She quickly got dressed and came back to the bathroom where he was, using a spell from her wand to dry her hair.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco gave her the towel then waited while she ran off to get dressed. He reached out when she had dried her hair, playing with the waves. "You know you either have your hair like this or curled, I don't think I've ever seen it straight." While she brushed her hair and teeth and whatever else it is Pansy does in a morning he leaned back against the mirror watching her. As soon as she was done he hopped down and took her hand. "Another cup of tea now?"

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

"You've definitely seen it straight before, just... probably not in a long time." She smiled a little at him, finished with all her morning things. Glancing at herself in the mirror, she chewed on her lip for a second before pulling her hand out of his. She took her wand and traced it over her hair, straightening it out, surprised with how much longer it was like that. She tucked her wand away and put her hand back in his. "Sounds good."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco was surprised when she pulled away and wondered if she knew something he didn't but grinned when she straightened her hair. He took her hand back and walked with her back to her bed where the teapot was. Pouring them both tea he left his cup to the side and reached out for her hair again, letting it slide between his fingers. "It looks great."

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy rolled her eyes a little, but couldn't help smiling and looking down, slightly embarrassed at his admiration. "Thanks," she managed quietly. Picking up her cup, she took a sip of tea and stared into it, watching the tiny little bits of tea leaves flow around in the bottom of her cup. So was so distracted by them, that she really forgot to talk.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco noticed a slight blush on her cheeks and smiled, picking up his tea. He stayed quiet and watched her staring into her teacup before he looked up as the door to the study opened and he heard Leo walk in. He sat up a little straighter on the bed and watched as the door to their rooms opened. "Morning Sir"

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy somewhat ignored Draco's movements, watching as the leaves formed little shapes in her cup. She blinked and glanced up once the door to the room they were in opened and Draco greeted her father. "Morning, Daddy." "Sleep well, you two? I see you've been brought your breakfast like I asked. A few of your favorites, I think?" He grinned, because Pansy really liked french toast sticks, and he knew that. "Anything interesting planned for today?" He asked, glancing at Draco in particular, as he was curious about what the boy would choose to do around here, given that it was not only the house of his family's long time friends, but also the house of his girlfriend, and the house of his mentor, allowing for several different sorts of situations or options of things to pass the time.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco shrugged and gave Pansy a slightly apologetic look before answering Leo, "Actually Sir I was wondering if you have a potions lab, there are some things in this book I want to try." He did want to go outside with Pansy but he figured they could go out at night and hide in their tower and stargaze a little. He still wanted to impress Leo but he didn't want to upset Pansy, it was a fine line.
