Theo rapped his knuckles on the door before shoving his hand in his pocket as he waited. Most would have given notice to the famous quidditch player before showing up on her doorstep, but he was above such standards.

He attended the last Holyhead game, quite pleased to see them win. So here he was, taking her out on a surprise dinner in congratulations. He smiled when she opened the door and handed her the flowers he brought with him. “Dinner? I made reservations for us.”

Holly was making sure her last days as captain were going to be the best. Part of her wanted their management to see how well the team was doing under her, and would insist that she captain for the rest of the season instead of giving Willow the title when she got back, but everyone loved the blonde pixie of a flyer, and Holly knew her days were numbered. It was not her fault that she wasn’t cute and bubbly like Willow, but she sure as hell knew how to lead a quidditch team. It made all the little offers buzzing in her ear just that more tantalizing.

She was in her workout clothes when there was a knock on her door. Really? Who could be bothering her now? Holly peered through the peephole and was actually surprised with who she saw. The door swung open as she tied back her hair.

“I’m not dressed,” she answered calmly, though her head was racing with what she could find and how quickly. It was a good thing her cleaning woman had come this week.

Theo looked over Holly, it was the first time he had seen her not dressed up or in her quidditch uniform. If anything, it should have killed any of what ever they had going on, but really he thought she looked just as beautiful ever. Which was strange.

“Well, for you, I think I’m willing to wait.” Or he could cancel the reservation they could stay in. No, that was a silly idea. “Perhaps I could help you pick something out,” he suggested, wrapping an arm her waist and pulling her in for a kiss.

Holly fell into the kiss, letting her held up hair drop down around her shoulders again. She really did not like being surprised or told what to do, but when Theo kissed her like that, it was really hard to say no. But, getting dressed meant having to stop kissing, and Holly didn’t particularly feel like doing so. She and Theo often had a very precise ways of going about their dates, or whatever you’d like to call them, so being thrown for this very nice loop was very nice and nearly intoxicating.

“You want me to put more clothes on?” she said into his mouth, her arms tightening their grip around him.

“Hmm, you make a very valid point,” Theo said between kisses, backing her back into her flat. There was just something about kissing Holly that made him forget about plans he had made. And the fact that he hated being late, or sudden changes in plans. But when a better plan arose, he wouldn’t be a Slytherin if he didn’t hop on board.

“Revised plan,” he said running his hand through her hair, whispering in her ear. “I stay here, and instead of you putting on more clothes, you help me out of mine?”

She grinned, enjoying being so close to him and managing to walk backwards into the flat without tripping over anything. This was good, this was different. Their arrangements usually had to include an hour of properly speaking to each other and those around them; right now they didn’t have to do much talking at all, which was something she was perfectly fine with.

Holly eventually backtracked them to her couch, and she sat on the arm, her hands moving to start untying Theo’s cloak. She looked up at him, face flushed and with an amused smile.

“What’s the occasion?” she asked, though not particularly caring as her fingers fumbled with the clasps.

Once she was finished undoing the clasps, he shrugged off his cloak, letting it fall to the floor. This right here was the occasion. Theo missed her and didn’t want to have to wait for some occasion to come up in order to see her. So he made one up. Right now he didn’t at all mind skipping the formal part of the evening.

“You won your game,” he said kissing her along her neck. “That deserves to be rewarded.”

Really? Holly was honestly surprised at his reasoning, not that she could blame him. She really did feel proud of their win, and she knew that other teams were talking about her much more than they had been. She’d finally been given the chance to shine and captain a team, who knew where that might lead?

Feeling much happier about...well, everything, Holly let a mischievous grin slid even further onto her face and she pulled back, gripping onto Theo as they tumbled back onto the couch.

Of course, that led into a bit of forehead knocking, but that was all in good fun. “Ow.”

Normally, Theo was against snogging on couches. They were small, cramped and awkward. Actually, all of that stood true, their foreheads knocking was just proof of that. And their new position on the couch caused the jewelry box in his pocket to jam uncomfortably against his leg.

He withheld a sigh as he kissed Holly where their heads bumped and fished the offending box out of his pocket, tossing it to the coffee table. He hoped he was being suitably distracting as he kissed her temple, then behind her ear and continuing down her neck. He could definitely make this work. Stopping just to suggest a change of venue would be stupid and counterproductive.
