Around midnight, Vera snuck up to the Astronomy Tower, glancing around the corridor for Filch and his dreadful cat Mrs. Norris. As she trailed up the twirling staircase, she wrapped her arms around herself because of the chill.

The girl glanced out into the distance, into the soft lighting of Hogsmeade and the vast expanse of forest. She heard the door thud behind her and she smiled to herself.

"Merlin, Draco is such a prick. Dunno why he has such a stick up his arse." Theo grumbled, his words slow but not yet slurred indicating to Vera that he had drunk at the party.

Vera turned around to greet him, arching an eyebrow. "Still? Really?"

"Yeah, he's such a stupid fucker." He shook his head before staring at her for a moment, eyebrows scrunched together. His eyes scanned her bare legs, short skirt, and robes wrapped tightly around her for warmth. "Veve! You've got to be freezing. Why are you still in your uniform?"

Vera smiled at his concern. "I didn't come back to the dungeons, remember? I was in the library and Madam Pince let us— I mean, me stay after normal hours. I never got a chance to change out of this."

"I'll go get you a jacket." Theo said immediately, not mentioning her misuse of 'us' and 'me'.

"No, it's okay," Vera said, wrapping her arms around his middle and looking up at him with those doe eyes he loved so much. "You're so warm." She said, burying her face into his chest.

Theo grabbed her face, leaning down to kiss her as she gasped slightly against his lips. "Missed you." He said.

"Only been a few hours." Vera giggled against his lips.

"Still." He tasted like firewhiskey and sin, his kisses rough and passionate with the addition of liquid courage in his system.

Theo's lips moved down towards her jawline, moving towards her neck. "Teddy," Vera exhaled quietly, closing her eyes as he sucked hard on the sweet spot on her neck. Her fingers laced through the hair at the nape of Theo's neck, tugging slightly. The boy groaned, throwing his head back a bit.

Theo pushed them back slightly, into the tower's wall, his hand leaning on the bricks right beside her head. Vera could feel the cold stone behind her and she shivered, looking up at him in anticipation. He brushed the hair out of her face before leaning in to kiss her roughly again. Vera really liked drunk Theodore so far. "So beautiful." He murmured, as the girl caught her breath.

He put his knee between her legs to hold her up against the wall as he peppered light kisses across her collarbones. "Oh Merlin, Theo." Vera whimpered quietly at the sensation forming.

"Shhh." He smirked, showing off his dimple. His large hands moved down from her waist to her hips, rubbing them slowly. Vera threaded her hands through his hair, leaning her head back against the brick wall. Theo kissed down her collarbones and towards her chest and she was breathless.
