Sitting outside the room Celina showed her the year before, Felicity waited for him to show. The room was set and she was ready to drive anyone away that tried to go in; she wanted it for her and Drew, and only the two of them. The reason? Felicity wanted to talk to him about everything, and the room had come up with something really pretty when she'd walked by, thinking of what she needed. All the blonde had requested was a place for her and Drew to talk, something comforting that wouldn't allow her to be frightened from telling him everything, finally. The next thing on her list of things that were needed was that the two of them couldn't be interrupted. There could be absolutely no interruptions, if she was going to tell him she needed to be able to do so all at the same time, knowing it would just be harder the next time. She'd been ready under the table almost two weeks ago, but once Tristan brought reality to her, she couldn't do it.
The room was so pretty though, and even if she couldn't tell him, she wanted to make use of it. The floor was covered in meadowy-like flowers, a small fountain was set up further in toward the back with water constantly flowing through, and in the center of the room there was a white-painted, wooden swinging seat, like one would see on a front porch, one that looked like a replica of the one from her home. The blonde has also packed breakfast food, as she didn't know how long she and Drew would be spending in the room, and the room had provided a red and white checkered blanket to sit on.
While she knew there were number of rules they were breaking in doing this, Felicity didn't care. The late hour, eleven o'clock, ended her patrol shift for that night and she wanted to see Drew and talk with him about everything. The room was dully lighted, but no shadows lurked in the corners of the room so she wouldn't be frightened, but overall it was a rather romantic setting, especially with the shimmery moon she knew was only a replica of the night outside. It was gorgeous outdoors, but as she wanted to get through this, get it over with in a way, she'd requested they meet here, now.
At the moment the biggest problem would be if someone managed to open the door and discover them within, but she doubted it would happen, no one would notice if they weren't in their respective beds by curfew and hardly anyone really checked here for anyone, some afraid of what they'd find and others not caring.
Outside the room, across from the door, Felicity curled her still pale arms around her bare, and paler, legs, her pajama short's cottony material providing an unnecessary warmth that she liked, a tank top covered her torso (Drew's sweatshirt was inside the room, laying over the arm of the swing seat), and bare feet were flat against the cold stone floor, just waiting for the lanky seventh year.

Drew had rushed through his own rounds, anxious to make the date Felicity had set with him. Only cursorily checking for dawdling students, he was finished in record time and by eleven o'clock was jogging towards the seventh floor hallway that was to be their meeting place.
Skirting around the corner, dressed in shorts, t-shirt, and his second favorite sweatshirt, he caught site of the pretty blonde Gryffindor curled up on the floor. He skid to a stop in front of where she sat and grinned down at her before checking the watch on his wrist.
"Right on time," he announced, dancing a little in his excitement. He hadn't expected a post-curfew date from Felicity, but was more than happy to have the chance.

Turning her head when she heard the approaching footsteps, Felicity's fingers curled around her wand, not sure if she'd be seeing Drew in a moment or another. However, thankfully, it was her boyfriend who arrived looking extremely casual in his outfit, not that she looked any different in hers, though perhaps even more casual due to the fact she was dressed in her pajamas all ready, unlike Drew in daily clothing.
"You always are," she answered, making a face at him before standing and brushing the seat of her shorts off. Felicity wasn't sure whether to expect him on time or not that night though, not when they both had rounds. Thankfully Felicity's was over with plenty of time to spare and she'd just done her rounds in her pajamas, with Drew's sweatshirt attached, so she could head immediately off to the kitchens to grab a basket of food and run up the flights of stairs and settle the room properly, the way she wanted it to be.
Reaching out for his hands, Felicity took his and placed a small kiss on his lips. "Thank you for meeting me..."

He gave a low little giggle, unable to keep from thinking about the fact that she was in her pajamas and she was kissing him. He seriously doubted this late night rondezvous would really go in that direction, considering they had at least a dozen other lines that needed to be crossed before they got there. It was highly impossible that she'd jump all of them at once.
"I wouldn't miss it," he answered back with a crooked smile. He wasn't about to give up any opportunity to spend time with the freckle-faced Gryffindor, and breaking the rules while doing it just made it all that more exciting. "So what do you have planned?"

Grinning when he giggled, she couldn't keep her mind off of how adorable she found that to be. And his answer made her smile even more, liking how he always made sure she knew he wouldn't back out of something or not do something unless there were other circumstances that kept him from being able to do so. Things were just about perfect, the set up, he was there, and he was in a good mood, so maybe he'd be extremely patient about her getting through it all, not that he wouldn't be otherwise, but it'd be easier if he was in a good mood.
But when she was asked what was planned, she wasn't sure what to respond with first, but quickly made up her mind.
"Well, I hope a little bit of this..." the blonde trailed off before leaning in for one more, slightly lingering, kiss. But she knew that wasn't the foremost importance of their meeting that night. And after pulling back she continued, "but I hope we can maybe talk, too...?"

He nodded back slightly stupidly, willing to follow her off the edge of a cliff if she kissed him like that. She could suggest almost anything and he'd happily agree as long as he had the small hope of being that close to her.
But knowing she was being serious, he did his best to focus on what she was saying and while he wasn't sure what she meant, he understood she wanted to have a discussion. "About what?" he asked, pretty sure this wasn't going to be like the talk they had had the previous March in the rain. Still, when a girl wanted to talk, it probably wasn't going to be about Quidditch.

His reaction to her kiss was more than pleasant and it made her wish she hadn't pulled away so quickly, but she knew that as long as their talk went well enough, there'd be plenty of time afterward for kissing on him, and she was most definitely looking forward to that moment, which meant she knew their conversation had to go well.
"Well, remember a few weeks ago?" she started, feeling awkward about talking about it at all right there in the open like they were. "I want to talk about that, entirely. I- I'm ready." Letting her eyes travel up to his, she bit her lip nervously and gently tugged him toward the slightly opened door, waiting for their entrance. It was a calming scene and she was ready to tlak to him about what happened. She didn't want to back out, so she knew she had to do it now.

Drew nodded both his understanding as well as his agreement. Even with the promise of some good snogging, it wasn't exactly the evening he had anticipated, but it was one he knew was well overdue. He had been wanting to have this conversation for over a year now, not only to get her thoughts and feelings on the incident, but to prove that he could listen without asking so many stupid questions.
"Okay... if you're sure," he told her, smiling nervously and hoping this didn't end like their last few attempts had. They had talked about how to talk and while it sounded kind of silly, it had prevented a number of arguments. He was pretty sure it would work this time too.

"I am," she said confidently, though still slightly shakily. Felicity was ready, she needed to talk to him about it. Though she didn't want to talk about it at all, she had promised him she would and she'd been putting it off long enough, everything needed to come out, laid all out on the table. And while she knew he wanted to know everything, the blonde still maintained she couldn't tell him everything, only what she knew. Whatever Celina had been through was her own thing and it was her that needed to tell him that if he wanted to know everything.
Pushing the door open, the dusky light washed over them, and she felt suddenly nervous. What if the set up was something he thought more of? All she had wanted was something comfortable to be able to talk in. And then she reminded herself that if Drew thought something like that, he'd tell her, or at least he'd ask her about it if he had thoughts that lead somewhere he knew she wasn't willing to go. When she'd asked him to meet her she hadn't thought anything about the set-up, it wasn't until he was with her that she thought about things like that, was it her fault he made her think such things? Possibly, but she couldn't help what the butterflies in her belly did when he was so near.

As she opened the door and he saw what was inside, he couldn't help but think about her in her pajamas again. As the days got warmer, he usually just slept in his boxers, but he told himself again that it wasn't going to go there.
They were going to talk, have a discussion that was long over due. If his mind wanted to drift onto other topics, he'd force himself to think of Quidditch stats. This was important and he wanted to hear what she had to say.
"You did a nice job with the place," he said with a small smile, feeling like it was some cheesy line out of a movie, but also being honest. It looked like a perfect night, peaceful and safe, just right for a serious talk. They could sit by the fountain or lay out on the grass and look up at the stars shining through the ceiling. "I should have brought my blanket..."

Turning her head to look back at the tall boy, she smiled sweetly, appreciating the fact he appreciated what she'd come up with. Of course, it was really the room that came up with it, she just asked for what she had wanted and that was all she had done. It was the magic of the room that had done the rest and the best of it all. However, even she had to agree it was a rather keen room, especially for what she wanted to do that night. Maybe, with how nice it all looked, they would be able to still get back to their respective dormitories without too much trouble on either part.
But a small smirk crept to her lips at his next comment, one she knew she had to share. Reaching around the boy, Felicity pushed the door shut before wrapping herself against Drew and burying her face into the folds of his shirt. "I've got my blanket..." she said blatantly with a tease. But it was true, he kept her nice and warm and made her feel safe, just like a blanket.

As she snuggled up to him, he automatically leaned back into her, wrapping his arms around her and nuzzling her sweet smelling hair with his nose. He still couldn't understand the safe feeling he got when he was with her. With her in his arms he felt like all was right and anything was possible.
"Your blanket?" he echoed with a small smile. "I don't think we've ever used your blanket." Whether they were picnicking or just hanging out by the lake, he had always brought the great wool blanket he kept on his bed. If he was lucky, it would still smell like vanilla for a few days after. He had once tried to prolong the smell by swiping a bottle of vanilla from the kitchen and dumping it on his bed, but it didn't have the same effect.

Giggling that he didn't understand what she'd meant, Felicity couldn't keep it up any longer as he obviously didn't understand. While it was true, her real blanket hadn't ever been used by the two of them, Felicity had used Drew as her blanket a few times, letting him keep her warm. And with his arms around her right then, she felt like she was in the perfect temperature, he was soft and comfortable, exactly what she needed in a blanket.
"I have," she answered with a giggle. "It's soft, and warm, and comfortable, and it whispers in my ear sometimes, and holds me close, and kisses me right when I want him to..."
Pulling back just slightly Felicity glanced up at the tall Ravenclaw with a grin.

He was still a little confused, wondering what she meant. Of course she had used her blanket before, considering it was her blanket. And it sure wouldn't be a very good blanket if it wasn't soft and warm and comfortable... and whispers in her ear?
It was at that point that he realized what she was actually talking about. He gave a low and happy hum as he pulled her closer and kissed her right on her adorable grin. If those were her requirements for being a good blanket, he wanted to make sure he did a good job.

Smiling through the kiss, Felicity pulled back to be able to gaze up into his blue eyes. "See, I have a smashing blanket," she told him quirkily. And while she knew they had to talk, she had to talk, she didn't mind a little detour for a few minutes to appreciate Drew beforehand, knowing she'd appreciate him afterward as well for his listening skills.
Resting her head against his chest, the blonde sighed for a moment, thinking about how much she loved the boy whose arms were around her.
"Where do you want to sit?" she asked softly, wanting to get the conversation over with so they could have it out in the open between them.
