Marc had left it there. Right on the pile of all her books. He glanced around. And no one had seen him. He had been trying to get time to see Vonali... and yet he never did. So much for they would stay friends. He frowned. When that stupid hat had called out Hufflepuff he thought he would die... Everyone knew that Vi would be slytherin and Vonali was cunning enough to go there too.
Sure he had one class... but that just happened to be the class he needed to pay attention in, and then after that he had no time... Their breaks fell at the same time but... he was always trying to keep up on his grades. So he never made any appearances in the great hall..at least not till dinner and then they would all head to their respective rooms.
He sighed. He had gotten the idea from some hotshot hufflepuff who always snuck out late with his girlfriend. He had never gotten caught because he would claim he had permission from the astronomy teacher... Marc had asked for one night... The boy had agreed and Marcellus had set up his plan. He had left the sticky note in plain sight... she couldn't miss it.
Now he was sitting here leaning against the banner on the viewing platform of the astronomy tower... However... since he hadn't wanted to get in trouble...he had gone the extra distance to secure a note from the teacher. He had to do an extra paper... but he felt that it was worth it.
Glancing up. the moon was pretty and the stars showed brightly. For once... it was all working out... Maybe he could get her to like him... Even though he knew his responsibility to Adair... he could still live until he was 18...

Von had spent another day on the fifth floor when she tiredly grabbed her books and trotted to her room. She plopped them down causing the note to flutter to the ground. Curious Von bent down and glanced at the note. So Marc wanted to meet up that was cool with her so she tucked the note in her pocket and took a small nap before nine.
At a quarter to nine she changed into a warm pair of sweats and headed towards the tower. She stood at the door watching Marc stare off into the sky, she couldn't decide what he was thinking about but she was curious what was so important he needed to talk to her now. " This a private musing or is there room for one more?" She stayed in the door way to watch his expressions.

Marc jumped slightly but turned and smiled at Von. "I think there is room." He turned and leaned against the banner. "I didn't know if you would be brave enough to sneak out." He smiled that playful smile.
"So i decided we hadn't been seeing enough of each other... so, here we are." His face was slightly red but he smiled through it. "So... w-what have you been up to?"

Von snickered as Marc jumped and moved to stand next to him. " Me not brave enough to break a rule here and there. Now you should know me better then that by now." She smiled back at him and leaned on the railing. " So you arranged all this just to chat about the weather?" She laughs before turning to look at him leaning back on the rail. " I didn't think you'd have the nerve to work up doing something like this. So what did it cost you to get this approved? And when not doing school stuff I've been on the fifth floor working on a song. She bit off the last word realizing that she openly told him not only about her music but where her secret retreat was. "What about you? Enjoying Hufflepuff?" Yep she'd actually paid attention when Marc got sorted though she chooses to ignore the feeling she'd gotten.

He smiled and bumped his shoulder into her's. "Maybe im just picking on you." His face lost its smile... "Well...I really just wanted to hang out with my best friend... And well i thought really hard about it...and i have decided you are my best friend..." He nodded and then laughed.
"So? What think ye of that..."
Frowning he thought of all the extra work he had to do. However he simply shook his head. "Didn't you know... Im a rebel." Smiling he glanced back up to the sky. "Maybe i will come up and listen some time."
HE thought. "Actually...I hate it... I never see any of my friends... Aside from Moa...But she tends to hide away when i have free time."

Von snickered and bumped him back. " That'll be the day." She watched his face go serious and was turned speechless. She had to take a moment to think that over after all her best friend was Vi." I'm honored Marc, though you know Vi's my best friend, but how about you can be my best boyfriend." She smiled hoping that she didn't upset him. " Wish you'd gotten into Slytherin. Oh well maybe some time we'll actually take Astrology and have another class together." She turned and looked out at the stars and sighed, content for the moment.

He flushed to his ears. B-boyfriend? She wanted him to be her boyfriend.... He smiled. "I think i can do that."He smiled. It was almost a sad smile. "Sometimes i really wish i had too." He kicked at the ground... "Its funny... if you think about it... I don't really... I mean... aside from moa... All but one of the girls that are my friends are in slytherin.And i have this odd issue of having no guys that are friends too."
He gave a half laugh..."I seem to see Clarissa more then either you or Violet..."

Von noticed the sad smile and patted him on the back. " Classes just started I'm sure as things calm down and everyone gets used to the routine there'll be plenty of time to hang out." Though about him seeing more of Clarissa bothered her. She had thought of that encounter at the library more then she'd like to admit and her curiosity was driving her mad, but she'd felt awkward asking him about but now he brought it up. How could she refuse the opportunity to ask, though he seemed sad enough she almost didn't want to add to his tension. " Clarissa huh. Didn't think you two liked each other much. What's the story there?"

He nodded. He didn't really believe her... but, he wasn't going to outwardly deny it. He glanced over at her and shook his head. "Thats it... nothing but history..." He kicked the ground once more and turned to face her. "I want you to pinky swear that you won't tell anyone what im going to tell you... Not Vi... Or...or Moa....And mostly you cant tell Clarissa that i told you what im gonna tell you."
His green eyes fluttered. He had been betrothed since the beging of summer, before he had even met Von... but he somewhere deep down felt that by keeping this a secret he was somehow lying... And he didn't want any secrets between them...

Von raised her left eyebrow as Marc insisted she make some silence pact. She snickered and stuck out her left hand pinky up. " I promise on my guitar, that I'll keep silent. Now what's goin on?" That had to be good if he was this hesitant to tell her, she could always get a new guitar if needed, though she'd hate to part with it. Though since it had to do with Clarissa she would swear on almost anything, the girl seemed off to Von." And do I have to beat ya up cause it took you this long to tell me?" She smiled letting him know that she was kidding about beating him up, at least at this time.

He smiled. He had never actually had to have pinkies shake for a pinkie swear, but he curled his pinkie around hers. "Now... your not allowed to hate me... since i honestly had nothing.... completely nothing...to do with it... and it was all set up before I had met you..." He hesitated the barest moment feeling that was a little to... individualized and may make her uncomfortable. "...and Vi"
She had promised on her guitar... "Our parents set it up.... It was the party that was to celebrate some... Great thing my father did...."And he knew for a fact that Von loved her guitar. "I met Clarissa there... She actually punched me... " He smirked.
Moving his hand from holding her pinkie to holding her hand he frowned. "Adair wants me to marry Clarissa." He squeezed her hand and then let go. "Well actually... He bought Clarissa, in a way." He placed his hands on the banner. "Well actually her parents bought me... Adair got many, many acres of land,just for his signature on a page saying Clarissa will be duchess of Adair when I turn 18"

Von thought of a ton of things that this could be about but when Marc finally got to his point her mind went blank. Then she started piecing the meaning between his words and after a moment or two of silence she eyes lite up and she snickered. " I'm not about to hate ya for somethin your parents arranged. Secondly, I won't tell but that girl may very well get punched herself. Thirdly, I'm a bit confused as to why you didn't mention that before when I asked you about girlfriend things."
After all that she shrugs and looks out at the sky slightly bored. " But whatever." She did feel bad for Marc having an arranged marriage and all that but unless he defied his folks, which she didn't think he'd do, there was nothing she could do but be there for him as his friend." I take it your Lady isn't too thrilled with this either?"

Marc couldn't help but laugh. "Ha... no" He remembered that night. "She decked me...Because she was 'emotionally' distraught." Shaking his head he looked back over to Von. "I didn't tell you because i don't consider her my girlfriend... just... a girl... we have... from what i can tell... nothing in common." He shrugged and looked over at her before glancing around... "Ok... we need a happier topic... You're writing a song?" He glanced around. "What's it about?"

Von twirled leaning her back against the railing. " You may not see her as your girlfriend but any girl who would want to date you would want to know such a thing. But that's if ya tell them" She shrugged but let the topic drop though at his mentioning her song she tensed and crossed her arms. It would figure she'd forget to grab a jacket. " Yea, it's a start. Pani helped me out a bit the other day. Somethin's not right with it though. As for what it's about, don't know. Haven't written any words to it yet. Maybe never will, I'm not that great at writing, just playing." She moved her hands up and down as she talked, the subject making her a bit nervous. " What about you any new drawings? I showed Clari the one you gave me. The girls doesn't know talent. For that alone she should be punched."

Marc smirked... "Yeah.. but, its not till im 18... If it makes it that far... then i have a problem. I don't really for see that being a problem....When i was in muggle school i was labeled a book worm and girls avoided me like the plague..."
HE shook his head.... "So before i worry about that... i guess i have to find a girl who wants to date me." Shrugs moving on. "I would love to hear it some time... " He smiled and glanced her way. He let his smile drop a bit... "Your cold... Im sorry... I didn't think about how cold it would be out here..." He slid his coat off... "Here." He flung it out to put it around her shoulders.
As the coat flipped out the wind caught it and much like a flag blew mightily and straight out of marc's hands and off the tower. He stared after it... to astonished to be embarrassed.
"Uh.... maybe..." His mind flickered. He had gotten her something..."Wait here... I will be right back...I will only be two seconds..." Marc trotted inside and then came back holding a large present behind his back. "I... I got this for you... I know how much you liked it." HE brought it around. Unseen beneath the paper was the red guitar from the window.
