looking for some fun (nate/star)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was already nightfall and at least half of the castle was tucked away in their dormitories or common rooms doing something or other. The older students were still allowed out, but only for a bit longer, as their curfew would come and he would have to return to his dormitory for the night. Nate felt restless though, unsure of what he wanted to do with himself and he felt the need to do something, though something that was not within his common room or dormitory. Normally, he would have either asked one of his mates to accompany him wherever it was that he was going, or he would have made arrangements to meet up with a girl to partake in some more pleasurable activities. Tonight, however, Nate was currently going stag.

As he made his way slowly through the corridors, he wondered if he would come across anyone tonight. He was sure some of the prefects were doing their rounds, just as he was sure that there would be some others out and about still. It wasn’t that late after all, only about half past nine, and Nate everyone anyone worth running into was in for the night. Perhaps tonight would be the night he ran into someone new, though he wasn’t sure he was really in the mood for anything, or anyone, new. Familiarity was always something that was welcomed, by Nate and by so many others, though even this Gryffindor had to admit that he liked new things from time to time. With his hands stuffed into his pockets, Nate continued down the seventh floor corridor.

With his mind on what to do, Nate meandered down the empty corridor. He found himself coming towards the wall where the door for the hidden Room of Requirement was. He tilted his head as he looked at the empty brick wall and wondered if he wanted to go inside. That would easily give him some time to do whatever he wanted, that was fun, until he had to head back to his common room, but he wasn’t sure exactly what to make the room become. He wouldn’t mind skateboarding right now, which gave him a pretty good idea. He started to walk past the empty wall three times, as that was what he had read needed to be done in order to call forth the hidden room, thinking of a mini skate park with a skateboard for him to mess around with. Before he could finish though, he heard a noise from behind him and turned around to see who it was.

The greatest gift about being a prefect was the luxurious, lavishing bathroom. Starleina had her heart lock on settling in the warm water with a good book. It was a night like any other, she'd do a couple rounds of paroling after she finished with her feminine relaxation time. Starleina set down her change of pajamas, and undressed from her robes. She made her way to one of the large tubs, getting in allowing the water to warm her body. All she needed was some wine, and country music, and that would have been the end of it. Though she didn't have those things tonight she settled for a horror novel, and began to read.

Starleina sound it interesting how the world thought nothing but negativity about werewolves, somewhere it bothered her like hell. Although she didn't have a traumatizing past like some of her siblings, she did suffer with the Greyback last name, and that put a dent on her reputation a bit. In her earlier years she'd just shake it off. She always had family when worst came to worst, if she couldn't make friends. That changed when she set her own reputation. Being that loud, loveable, American girl she was. Her country accent, and southern hospitality, and optimistic nature earned her a handful of friends, proving all this book in front of her to be a hoax. Star placed the book a side, she couldn't bare another chapter of nonsense. She took in a breath, and went under water opening her eyes. Whenever she was angry she learned to hold her breath. It was also something she did at home to have her way. As strong as it seemed it calmed her down.

After she held her breath for about two minutes she came up for air, looking around for a moment. Something seemed a bit odd. Maybe she was going crazy, or maybe the heat of the water was making her loopy. Starleina washed up, and shampooed her hair. When she was done she grabbed her warm towel, wrapping it around her petite frame. She walked over to where she had placed her clothes and narrowed her blue eyes. Someone had taken them, it had to have been related to that strange feeling she had. The vandal had only left her bra and panties, but she'd get to the bottom of this occurrence. It had to be one of her prefect mates, or one of the quidditch captains, pulling a prank. Star got into the remains of her clothes and wrapped her towel around her, she stormed into the hallway, searching the fifth floor.

It had only been an hour or so past curfew, so there were not that many wanderers in the halls of the castle. The sound of professors gabbing had her heart jump, and she ran to the nearest stair well, aiming for higher ground. She found herself on the seventh floor, roaming the darkness. Maybe she'd run into one of her siblings, or male friends to grab a shirt to put over herself. The prefect of Gryffindor walking around the halls, heard foot steps, and she followed them right to Nathan Harper. A male Gryffindor, whom she seemed to her along with in the past. Star approached the boy "Nathan, This ain't what it looks like, m'kay?" She whispered to him, right off the bat. She knew he was probably used to seeing girls in this standing with his reputation.

Star herself also had a rep for dating bad boys, though she wasn't easy, she just found herself attracted to danger. She realized where he was going, the room of requirement. Too bad that room couldn't provide food, or clothing. It only provided a setting. "Care to lend a girl a t-shirt? Someone pulled a prank on me in the prefect bathroom, I don't know where they get off..." She paused looking into his blue eyes. She bat her own lashes a bit, and gave him a dimply smile. "Please Nate, I'll spend some time with you. Really I have nothing to do tonight, paroling can wait in this instance." She explained in her Southern drawl, her cheeks flushing a scarlet color. "Unless you have something else your doing." She wasn't sure if she was more angry or embarrassed at this moment. She just needed to feel safe, and unexposed for now.

When Nathan Harper had set out to find himself something fun to do, he had his mind set on a skate park so he could just clear his head a bit and have some good old fashioned fun. His attempt was foiled, however, when a noise from behind him caused him to break his concentration on what he was trying to get the Room of Requirement to create for him. Whatever it was that he had expected to see when he turned around, but it had been something he wasn’t prepared for. His blue-grey eyes drank in the form of Starleina Greyback standing in front of him wearing nothing but a towel covering her most intimate clothing, but refocused when she told him it wasn’t what it looked like. “And what does this look like?” he asked her with a playful tone and grin as he looked at her.

It was no secret that Nathan has seen a naked girl, especially since he had quite the little reputation that he lived up to, and was now only realizing what it was doing to him. He had yet to readily admit that fact to anyone, but just knowing it and making more of a conscious effort was a start, one that Nathan was proud to have started. He didn’t stop talking to girls all together, but he has managed to do it far less than he usually did. He actually slept alone more than half of the week, which was a change from his usual sleeping locations. He didn’t want it to end completely, because he enjoyed such interactions with women, but he was slowly starting to realize that he’s been pushing away what he’s wanted the most his entire life. Companionship.

When he lost his parents nine years ago, before he started Hogwarts, Nathan stopped wanting to be close to people. Aside from his Aunt Daisy, he believed he would lose anyone he was close with, or really cared about. A gaping hole developed within him after his parents had died, leaving him in the custody of his mother’s sister, and he wasn’t sure if he could ever bear such a pain again. That’s why he kept everything at arm’s length, even with people, and has never actually gotten close with anyone. Sure, he had friends, but he didn’t have any super close friends, nor had he ever allowed himself to get serious with a girl, which is why he’s never had a girlfriend. For the last nine years, he has been trying to save himself from ever getting hurt like that again. Instead, he’s found that he was completely wrong and was learning was real regret felt like.

He raised an eyebrow at Starleina when she asked if he could lend her a shirt, meaning the one he was wearing. She told him that someone had stolen her clothes as a prank, which caused him to snicker. “Well at least there is only a short list of people who could have accessed it,” he said, which he thought was surely a bright side to the situation. She then gave him one of those flirtatious smiles and told him she’d spend some time with him. “I was just going to create a skate park to have a bit of fun in before bed, but I have been persuaded otherwise,” he said with his own flirtatious smile. “I guess I should give this to you first,” he said as he pulled off his white t-shirt and handed it to her. “And I can lend you my boxers to wear as shorts, but I’ll have to go inside to do that,” he told her as he motioned at the wall where the Room of Requirement would be.

Starleina couldn't believe what horrible luck she was having. She wasn't really used to people pulling pranks on her because most of her friends were pranksters themselves. Never did she think she'd be traveling the halls of Hogwarts almost nude. It was highly embarrassing and she couldn't help to wonder who had got her. The master mind had to have been smart, maybe someone in her own house. Star wondered, but she didn't dare assume. She'd figure it out someday, for now she needed to find someone to help her. When arriving on the seventh floor she was glad she had ran into Nathan. He was always friendly to her, and the two had a past with flirting. This made it easier to ask him for help. She may have not felt as comfortable with someone she barely knew. The school was huge, there wasn't a way she could know everyone. Especially when everyone singled her out for being a Greyback.

She spoke and almost instantly regretted her words. Star knew the instance when anyone said it wasn't what it looked like, it certainly was. "Okay fine you got me." She said softly. Her cheeks were a slight color of red, but this wasn't the worst thing that could happen. It could have been much worst, she could have ran into a professor or the head master. The thought was scary, she was just glad she was with Nate. A safer feeling settled within her. Star knew he had a bit of a reputation as did she, it didn't mean she judged him for it. She'd as the same respect. She had a reputation for being flirtatious and boy friendly, but rumors had it she was easy. There wasn't a male she had slept with that got it that easy, she was a pretty hard to charm most of the time. She actually enjoyed doing the charming, because she had to have her way.

Star hadn't really liked settling down. She always felt like when she allowed someone close to her she got hurt. It seemed she always picked the wrong type of guys to like, and she was sick of having to mend. It was much easier to think she'd find a boyfriend outside of school. Someone who didn't know her, yet that was also a thought. Hogwarts ad a great variety of boys, she just didn't know how to pick them. Beautiful as she was she always managed to screw up. Messing with her perception of love. If it happened it did, she wasn't waiting for the rain in a drought. Starleina and Nate were similar in that sense of non-commitment. She didn't know much about his story because they were only friends. The duo were not that close, but she didn't mind changing that.

His spoken words caused her to cross her arms. "When I find out who did do it, they are not going to like this prefect." She was a werewolf after all, who would intentionally piss off a werewolf? People took kindness for weakness, but Star was quick to speak up for herself and handle her business. Nathan explained his plans and she giggled. "How boyish of you." She said, her answer obvious. "On the side can created a little shady area for me? With a tire swing and a big ol' oak tree." She added hoping he wouldn't mind intruding on his plans for the evening. Star wasn't good at skating, she may get on and let him push her around a bit. But she wouldn't embarrass herself more then she needed to. The vandal had done enough of that. Nate gave her his shirt and she slid it on. "Thank you, Sugar." She said grateful with warm eyes. She looked to the large wall and awaited the door to appear. When it did she entered and looked around. "So this is your escape?" Starleina was interested in his likes. She wasn't selfish.

Nathan couldn't help but chuckle at Star as she said that whoever took her clothes wouldn't like her. He was sure that was true and he ran his fingers through his hair. "Oh, I am more than positive that will be the case," he told her with a grin, "but you'll have to make sure I'm present for the show when it does happen," he added. He was sure that would be one hell of a spectacle and he would be sorely upset if he missed the wrath of Starleina on whoever was dumb enough to take her clothes and leave her to walk the halls nude. And the fact that she was a werewolf only made the whole idea of her wrath more amusing because he was sure she could pack an even bigger wallop because of that fact. This made Nathan very glad that he wasn't the one to cross her tonight, and in such a way.

When he told her what he had originally planned to do before she had come upon him, she giggled and told him that it was boyish of him. she shrugged his shoulders and smirked at her. "Well, then I guess it’s a good thing I'm a guy, huh?" he asked her, though he didn't really expect an answer to that. "I like the simple things in life, and skateboarding always gave me a certain comfort level that I don't normally get around here," he admitted, surprising himself with that answer. He didn't usually get deep with people, even with his closest friends, so toeing the line of getting deep with Star was a bit unusual for him. "Well, I guess I could add a tire swing for you to sit on while I do my boyish stuff," he told her with a slight wink of his eye, making another reference to her initial thought on his idea for his evening.

He had given her his shirt, leaving him half nude in the corridor, and then told her that he would give her his boxers to wear as shorts once he got inside the Room of Requirement. He then went about making the door appear so that they could go inside. Once it did appear, the two went inside and Nathan smirked at the mini skate park he had created for himself, along with the tire swing for her on the other side of the room. "Well, my escape wouldn't have the tire swing, but yeah, it's one of them," he told her. "Now, let me go get those shorts for you," he told her as he moved towards the tree and hid behind it as he removed his pants and boxers, and then slipped his jeans back on. He then took out his wand to clean them (not that they were dirty, but he had just been wearing them).

He moved out from behind the tree and headed back over to her and held out his light blue boxers out to her with a smile. "Here you go," he told her. "So, would you like to just sit on the swing or would you like to learn how to skate?" he asked her with a grin. He wasn't sure what she wanted to do, but he figured it would be polite to give her the option. "Or would you like to do something else? I am sure I could change the layout of the room a bit, if you’d rather something else," he told her. Even though the room was, for the most part, how he wanted it, he was now with someone else and he wasn't sure it would spark her interest any. She seemed compromising enough, but he didn't want to ruin her night any more than it already was. He wanted to put her back in a good mood.

She hadn't ever really had to deal with being the target of a prank. Even if it was a joke she couldn't find humor in it. What if she hadn't ran into Nathan, and she was forced to walk around the castle exposed? Star would have a hard time explaining that to one of her professors. Especially because she didn't like to get people in trouble. When it came to being a prefect she wasn't too serious about the rules. Being a rule breaker herself she tried to be as lenient as possible. Detention was no fun, but she'd surely handle this on her own terms. Star was a clever girl. She was sure the person who pulled this off left some kind of trace. Star could read people by their eyes, she could see guilt or mockery, she'd find out. A vast threat and she giggled at Nate's words. "Sure sugar, you can be present. I wouldn't deny my savior a good show." Star replied with a wink. Nate had been her savior in more then one way. He had given her clothes and someone to spend time with. Star hated boredom, so she was very glad she ran into the handsome young man.

Nathan had said he was going to envision a skate park. Honestly she thought the idea was pretty boyish originally, but what could she expect. Star giggled at his words about being a guy, and looked him up and down. She slowly bit her lower lip and nodded. "I'll say, a damn pretty one at that." Starleina thought he was pretty handsome, but the term pretty boy stood out more in this instance. Nathan went on to further explain that he liked simple things, and she couldn't agree with him more. Had life at the castle been hard on him? Starleina could only wonder. She didn't know much about him besides what she knew personally, and what she heard. Star didn't believe those rumors that spread through the halls. She more relied on what the two had shared in the past. Maybe it was time to get to know Nathan better, the mysteriousness peeked a certain curiosity in her mind. A smile graced her pink lips when he said he'd add a tire swing in there for her. "You certainly will." Star added, not being abrupt. She was just being forward, as she always had been. Star felt a chill run down her spine as she waited for the door to appear. If she was going to be this exposed she hoped he thought of a sunny day.

Finally the door had appeared and she entered looking around. When Nathan said simple, he meant muggle simple. Something she was used to back home. The skate parks down south were filled with boys and competitive nature. Star listened when he spoke about his escape not having a tire swing. Licking her lips she put her hand on her hip "You can't deny it's a nice addition. Think of it this way, with it there I'm happy." Star said with a pearly smile. She had been glad she'd get to ride the tire swing. "You like simple right? Well back home tire swings, mudding and the lake are the only things you can do for fun. There ain't nothing like letting your hair flow in the wind, on a swing ride." Star said closing her eyes, a warm smile crossing her lips. The thought of being back home saddened her a bit, but it wasn't time for that. When she opened her eyes he was behind the tree getting his boxers off for her. Although she was tempted to take a peek, she restrained herself. It wouldn't be nice for her to intrude on his privacy.

Star rocked back and forth on her bare feet waiting for him to return. When he did she took his boxers and giggled a bit. She hadn't worn this many articles of boy clothing since she last slept with a guy. The circumstances were different, but she bet Nathan wasn't the type to give up his clothes to girls. Guys with commitment issues usually just left after getting what they wanted. This may have been a bit new to him but she wasn't assuming, only thinking. Star put them on and she looked herself over. Her blue eyes slowly looked into his. "What do you think?" She said as she spinning around, modeling his under clothes. She struck a couple poses and giggled to herself. Star was only playing, she knew she didn't look all that pretty right about now. Star looked between the skateboard, and the handsome boy in front of her. He asked her did she want to learn or ride her swing. Swing naturally, but she'd let him have his fun teaching her if he'd like. "Well I'll just get on it, and you pull me. Don't let me fall now." Star told him, holding her finger in his face showing him she was being stern.

Falling wasn't an option. Star walked over to the skateboard and picked it up bringing it in front of him. She stepped on the board, her bare feet feeling it's grips. Star blushed and took his shoulders. "Okay, I'm ready." Star said looking into his eyes. She was putting trust in him right now, which was something she didn't do with most guys.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When Star called him her savior, it made him feel a bit strange on the inside. He wasn't normally referred to as such, nor did he usually ever find himself in such a position to act like a hero. He kind of liked the sound of it, even though he was sure that he wouldn't ever be called a hero again. It was just not his thing, though he would always be there to help out a friend if he was needed. "Well, I don't know about your savior, but it's definitely a good thing that I was the one who found you, and not someone who would be a bit too excited to come across a half-naked woman as gorgeous as yourself," he said with a smirk. It was truer, there were several guys at Hogwarts that would have made the most of finding Star the way he did, or at least would have tried to. He was sure most wouldn't have gotten very far.

When they had talked about his idea for what he was trying to accomplish with the Room of Requirement before he ran into her, she seemed to understand. He couldn't help but flash a flirtatious grin at her when she agreed that it was a good thing he was a guy, and even went as far as to say that he was a damn pretty guy. "Pretty, you say. Now I feel like braiding my hair," he teased, though knowing that she hadn't meant it like that. "And thank you, though I'm not much of a competition to your looks and charm," he told her. "Who could resist that southern drawl that you have?" he asked, though not really expecting an answer. It was more of his own opinion than anything else, though he wasn't going to admit that just yet either. He wasn't sure why, but he felt a bit strange admitting that to her, or anyone else.

He told her that he would add in a tire swing for her and she seemed to like that gesture. "As if I'd go against what the lady wanted," he told her with a wink. once the door appeared, the pair walked into the room and he surveyed his handiwork. He made the comment that his real escape didn't have the tire swing too, but she told him that he had to admit it was better with it. "You got me there," he told her with a grin. She had then told him that where she was from, it was just tire swings, mud and the lake to do. "Sounds like fun," he told her playfully. And it did, though Nathan enjoyed his own fun times too. "Well, then you'll have to show me what that's all about next time," he told her, "unless you can convince me t\not to skate this time," he added.

He then went off to use the tree as cover as he removed his boxers so that she could wear them. He did it as quickly as possible, and even used his wand to cast a brief cleaning charm on it since he had been wearing them and it might be a bit gross for her to wear his underwear after he's been in them all day. It was the least he could do. He then put his pants back on and moved out from behind the tree holding the light blue boxers to her. Even though he wouldn't see anything, Nathan turned around as she stepped into his boxers, only turning around when she asked him how she looked. He looked at her and felt his breath catch in his throat, though he managed to maintain his composure so she wouldn't notice. "Like those clothes were made for you to wear," he told her as she posed a couple of times. She giggled and he smiled down at her.

He then asked if she was going to go on the tire swing or learn how to skate, or if she'd rather he make some changes to the room so they could do something else. He was sure she'd pick the swing, but she surprised him when she told him she'd try the skateboard and that he would have to pull her. "I can do that," he promised. "Of course I wouldn't," he said when she told him not to let her fall. "Besides, I've got quick reflexes so I'd catch you before you did anyway," he added as more of an afterthought. He watched her walk over to the skateboard and brought it in front of him. She then stood on it and placed her hands on his shoulders to steady herself before telling him she was ready. He smiled at her and then reached out and placed his hands on her waist and then started to slowly move along the floor. "We'll keep it light and easy for now, okay?" he said to her with an arched eyebrow.
