The Prompts

1. After Hours - It's past curfew and you're out and about, in the corridors or the grounds, better hope you don't get caught.

2. Hogsmeade - Shopping, drinking, socialising, dating, go crazy

3. Lesson - Working on a tricky charm, passing notes at the back of the class, fretting about a test

4. Hogwarts express - It's the start of the year and time for the train and meeting friends old and new

Keirus chuckles, shaking his head - he's rebellious, but he doesn't intend to be a bad influence most of the time, so he's quick to confirm "No, curfew's just the same for me, I just find I can treat it more like a guideline than a rule... as long as I don't get caught," he adds with a wink.

Noticing that the younger boy seemed cold, he was quick to shrug off his robe, holding it out towards Lexi - he's wearing a quidditch jumper underneath so he was clearly expecting the cool night air. Besides, the fire whiskey's keeping him warm.

Lexi's clearly not expecting to be offered a nice, warm robe, and his cheeks go slightly pink under his highlighter, although hopefully, the older boy won't see that. But he pulls it tight around himself, enjoying the warmth of it after the cold walk.

"I suppose if you did get caught, you could just say you were... thinking about Quidditch?" Lexi suggests. He's captain of the Gryffindor team, the staff probably won't be so mean about him coming out here at night. He might have to hide the bottle though.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Quidditch," Keirus replies with a cheeky smile, it's mostly for the joke of it but it's not entirely a lie, he was close to the pitch after all, his mind had wandered to tactics once or twice.

"But nah, just came out for a drink and a think about what I want to do after Hogwarts," he shrugs, taking another swig of said drink before holding the bottle out towards Lexi. So much for not being a bad influence, but it would be rude not to offer.

Lexi is completely unable to withstand peer pressure, even when there's no pressure applied, and so the moment of hesitation is brief before he takes the bottle with a murmur of thanks.

He's had wine at home, and beer, neither of which he liked, and alcoholic butterbeer, which he did, but whisky is something totally different again, burning down his throat and making his hand tremble a little when he hands it back.

"Aren't you going to play Quidditch?" It seems like a natural thing to Lexi- to make Captain, you must be good, so why wouldn't you get a job doing it? Things like being picked up for a team don't really enter his head.

Keirus notes his reaction to the whiskey and decides to be cautious about handing out future sips, he doesn't want a drunk underclassman on his hands, especially when he isn't entirely sure where the boy's dorm is.

"Maybe," he concedes with a shrug "I mean, if I can get onto a team I can't deny I'd like it, but my dream is to work with magical creatures."
