He watched as she went into the shared bathroom. Percy didn't know what overcame him in the hallway but the cute pajama pants and oversized sweater made him want to be near her.
Now he sat in her very messy room. It didn't shock him when she pointed to the unmade bed was hers. The girl herself didn't seem very put together.
He looked around and took in the picture of her and McKenna that was on propped on her nightstand along with the chocolate frog wrappers that piled there. He rolled his eyes at the sit of no cards. She must collect them.
He could hear the water shut and her move in the small bathroom. His thoughts went back to the first night he met her. Percy should of known then what he was getting in too.
Her short little outburst was enough to get him riled up. He expected her to just listen and she didn't. And then when he found himself staring into her eyes he could see himself slipping.
The bathroom door opened and it came a more put together Quinn. He took his time as he took her in. Her wet hair falling past her shoulders. The sweats and a different oversized sweatshirt covered her skin.
He wondered what she would look like in his sweatshirt.
Before thinking he rose to his feet and closed the distance between them. His hand reached and caressed her cheek. His thump ran over the slightly plump lips as his eyes drifted from there to her eyes.
Unlike his, hers were like a crystal blue. Ever emotion shown through them and he could go into a trance if he stared long enough.
"Percy, What are you doing?" And her voice. Percy loved hearing her talk. If silk had a sound it would be her voice.
In just a week he found himself intoxicated by her.
He small fringe fell in front of his face as he dipped down. Their lips ghosted over each other as he waited. Her hands met the nape of his neck and he took it. Their lips eyes met softly and his eyes fluttered closed.
They molded perfectly. Her lips were just as smooth as what her voice sounded like. Percy brought his other hand up to the hair. One tangled in the beautiful blonde locks as the other caressed her cheek.
The kiss could be described as painfully slow. It felt like minutes for their lips to disconnect but only seconds for them to reconnect.
They stood in her room like that for while.
It was Quinn who pulled away first. Percy lips followed hers as she pulled away until he felt her hands on his chest.
"We should probably go to the library." His eyes opened slowly and he could see the dark clouds that swarmed in her bright irises.
"Right." He said letting out a cough to clear up his throat. Percy let his hands drop to his side, but his eyes didn't leave her as she grabbed her bag and headed towards the door.

He led her to his favorite spot. The table this time was pushed against the wall with two seats side by side. He grabbed the chair she was heading towards and pulled it out for you.
"Thank you." Her voice was quiet and it made him wonder if it was due to the kiss or them being in the library.
He took the seat next to her and pulled out his books. "Do you have your essay?" He asked and with of her wand the paper flew out of her bag.
"There it is. All 30 inches done with sweat and tears." She said with a grimace on her face. "Please grade lightly. I don't know if you noticed but I don't take criticism well."
Percy let out a chuckle as he grabbed her paper. His eyes traveled over the messy handwriting. Internally highlighting things that needed to be fixed. From this he could tell that she could probably talk her way out of anything but she still lacked the logic behind it.
"It's good..." he said as he laid the paper in front of her.
"But?"
"But you could use more information. For example you can't just say that the love potion is safer due to its properties; you need to describe what properties make it safer." He said as he pointed it out on her page.
As the study session continued, Percy found himself less into the studies and more into his partner. From their partnership in Potions he would of thought she would been a lot harder to help, but she took the criticism and help well.
Not only that but he found himself staring at her lips a lot more. Percy would watch her bottom lip disappear within her mouth as she rewrote her paper.
"Aren't you suppose to be studying too?" Her voice broke his trance and looked down at his untouched homework.
"I can't really concentrate right now so I'll probably do it before bed tonight." He said. Percy waited for her to start working again, but it didn't hit him that waiting for her to start so he could continue to stare would come off weird.
The blonde gave him a weird look before giving him a small smile, "You can leave if you want too. I think I can finish up on my own." Her voice had a hidden tone under it. Percy was quite clueless what it meant. Her words sounded nice, but he didn't know if she meant it.
"Oh yeah, yeah. But I might as well just stay until you are done." he said as he looked down at her paper waiting for her to continue. When she didn't pick up her quill again, Percy looked back at her only to find her staring at him with an indescribable face. It was a mixture of amusement and confusion. Like she enjoyed the fact that he wanted to stay, but also confused on the way.
And in his defense he was confused himself. At first Quinnith was just this annoying girl that somehow kept getting in his way, but then it was like something clicked. Percy found something attractive about her. So attractive that he broke his promise of no relationships this year and found himself pinning her against a bathroom sink.
He could blame it on a lack of release. The stress of his seventh year getting to him so much that he jumped the first pretty girl that walked his way. But if that was true then he would of just asked Penelope for a casual thing. The girl was so in love with him; he knew that she would do it.
Quinnith was still staring at him and by this time his eyes has been locked with hers for a while. It was a silent, but a comfortable silence. The library didn't seem very busy on a Sunday and if it anyone was there, they couldn't see them.
It was that last thought that had him making the first move. He knees slightly knocked into hers and his hand went directly to her neck. Her lips had already slightly parted as though she had been waiting for him.
The kiss was gentle like the one in her room. His hand moved up from her neck to into her hair. Percy pulled her closer so where she had to move onto his lap. Once he had successfully gotten Quinnith to straddle his lap, he deepened it.
He could feel her hands make their own way to his hair. It was a sensible kiss no matter how they looked. The kiss continued to be soft. The feeling of her lips never left his for longer than a second. Ever so often he would nudge his tongue in before retreating into his own. Just enough to keep her kissing. Percy could smell strawberry coming from her hair, it made him grasp it more and pulling her even closer.
It was an awkward position due to the chairs and if he wasn't so intoxicated by the kiss then maybe he would of noticed how uncomfortable it would of been for her having to straddle him on a wooden chair that had arms. But she made no sound of protest and he hadn't opened his eyes since their lips made contact.
