Hogwarts starter for @on-theedge ft Gryffindor Cory & Ravenclaw Pryce 🏰📏
“W-wait! Wait for me-!” Cory calls out as he realises he had fallen behind the other boy on their slow walk around the quiet school corridors, dark as the moonlight was hidden by thick clouds in the night sky. Turning back from where he had been investigating empty paintings, he can just about see Pryce’s back in the light from his wand, before quickly hurrying to catch up to him. This was quiet the detention punishment - walking the school corridors late at night, looking for the supposed infestation of billywigs... somewhere.
Gryffindors were supposed to be brave, but the shorter blonde only started to feel better when he was once more practically pressed into Pryce’s back. His finger curls into the taller boy’s light grey jumper, as he lifts his wand to shine ahead of them. How was this place so much more creepy at night than it was in the day?
“I told you we shouldn’t have been late to potions” he whispers a little sourly, because sneaking a quick kiss in the archway of a dungeon corridor hadn’t been his idea! Pryce had been looking at him all through breakfast from the Ravenclaw table, until Cory could feel the colour rise to his cheeks and he could barely finish his pumpkin tart - it didn’t help he later found out he had flaky pastry on his cheek all breakfast, because the deep intensity in the other boy’s eyes had him quite distracted! So when he’d been snatched walking to potions with a gaggle of classmates and pressed against the cool stone of the dungeon wall he’d been really quite helpless to fight off the amazing kiss that had taken more than the 2 minutes they had, before they were late... and thus given a joint detention for tardiness.
“Pryce... what was that?” Cory whispers, lifting his wand as he hears something down the next corridor.
