Welcome to Gaia! ::

" Me too, is that okay?" Godfrey dug at his own phone, distracting himself. "Or I can get it from Josh later."

"No, but we made a new friend." Godfrey said, looking visibly relieved. There was nothing he feared more than disappointment from his favourite authority figures- besides everlasting soul-crushing loneliness and the undead, that was.

He almost wanted to go forward and hug London, but he'd been acting like enough of a pansy tonight, he knew.

London slung an arm out, catching one of her favorite students around the shoulders in a loose but casually affectionate - if a tad possessive - hug. “Well you have good taste in friends, Frey. Don’t keep your fingers crossed for benefits, though; she’s a bit of a nun.”

She paused, dark eyes - a shade of chocolate only a breath away from black - intent on Josh before she plunged her fingers in his Mohawk and dragged his lanky a** over to head butt him playfully. “I should spank both of you for sneaking out and not inviting me,” she said as she gave him a shake, “You’re lucky Mari found you and not the headmaster. You know that creep crawls around in the woods around Hogsmeade.”

Josh could only smile more, laughing. "Hey now, if you're gunna pull my hair might as well spank me, too." He rubbed at his forehead where she butted him, glad that she was the one to greet them at the Gate. He didn't think it was possible for her to really get angry, or at least he never saw any evidence of it.

He snorted a bit, blurting out words as the thoughts entered his head. "Headmaster would probably just spank us too, but it wouldn't be as fun." 3nodding

You're the only lady for me, Professor. “Me, and probably Joshella, here,” London remarked, using one of Josh’s two petnames; “Joshella” when she meant to reference Josh as Godfrey’s lovable girlfriend, and “Joshzilla” when referring to his lanky, somewhat awkward height. “And no spankings tonight. Drake’s having a bad night and could probably use some Hufflepuff-style care bear cuddling right now… Dragging your pants down and giving it to you good could detract from the family friendly environment.”

She paused at the concept of her father slinking around at a midnight concert and cracked a grin. “To prowl for hotties, maybe, but the last CD he bought was probably for one of my brothers.” She tweaked Godfrey’s ear, her grasp lingering to fondle the soft fur along the ridge. “You’ve both lost 25 points each tonight, so let’s keep your midnight adventures quiet for now so you don’t leave Hufflepuff in the negatives, hm?”

London leaned forward with the boys still in her embrace, pressing a chaste kiss across Mari’s quirked mouth. “Thanks for the special delivery, babe,” she said loftily, “Tell your Mum I said something to the affect of ‘let mah people go!’”

"Drake?" Godfrey said immediately, his tone and facial expression turning to concern.

But even concern for one of his best girl friends couldn't change that he was a teenage boy and rather.... sensitive... to having his ears touched. Amongst phrasing and girls kissing and boobs. Leaning with them and towards the others and tall women and face to boob height ratios-

" Well, better get on that. Drake I mean. I mean, in bed. With hugging." He said, his voice muffled. The points didn't bother him too much. He'd just try to win back twice the points tomorrow.

"We'll bring some Gryffindors along next time. Maybe even a Slytherin." Godfrey said, still muffled. " And I can promise to think about trying."

Double shift and paperwork. Sounded gross. Godfrey was looking forward to snuggling in a bed soon, actually, with whomever it ended up being.
