Beggin You For Mercy [Dominic]

[Deleted]

Liona walked out of the Great Hall. She wasn't really paying much attention as walking and dodging others came so normally to her. Her face was planted into her Divination textbook at the moment because she was at this really important part that talked about how to predict how the next few days were going to go through the use of this one particular spell that Liona hadn't gotten down yet. She was moving forward in her textbook and for any other class, this would be an abnormality but Liona was obsessed with Divination.

She'd almost had it. She knew she was really close. Maybe there was something wrong she was doing with the wand strokes. Her pronunciation was flawless as always. She was almost to the moving staircases. She was headed up to one of the more abandoned classrooms to practice here technique. She looked up from her textbook momentarily to make sure she grabbed the right set of stairs before she saw him. Ugh, and she could have sworn she'd predicted that today was going to be a good day.

Dominic was bored. Raven was out doing god only knows what with her friends and Dom didn't want to interrupt. So, he took to wandering the halls in search of someone to torment. Anyone would do, really, but he was waiting until his instincts clued him in on the right person for the day. Yes, that's right, Dominic literally walks around looking for trouble. Don't be surprised.

He was hanging on the stairs when he saw her down at the bottom, nose in a book. He grinned slowly, keeping his eyes on her as she looked up and to catch his eye. He lifted his fingers and gave a little wave, walking down toward her. "Liona," he said smoothly, leaning on the railing beside her once he was on the same step, "rough time in Divination I assume?"

It took great effort for Liona to ignore the way her heart rate sped up with just the wave of his hand. And the way he said her name-- she shook her head and began to gently tug on her right earlobe, her fingers tracing the small golden hoop. It was a nervous habit she knew but one she didn't fall back on often because frankly she didn't get nervous. Except when it came to him. And she hated that. Would she admit it to anybody? Absolutely not! No one had that kind of power over her! Not really anyway... Okay maybe.

She pulled her gaze away from him and pretended that she wasn't aware of every move he made, burying her head back into her book. "Hello Dominic." her voice sounded too stern. She furrowed her brow, eyes still gazing down at her book so it looked as if she was concentrating on the text. "Not rough per say." Now it was too soft, too timid. She tried not to show how exasperated she was with this whole situation. He was a bit of a bully though and she was sure he was used to hearing one of those two tones from students or professors. She'd rather sound stern. "I'm sure you don't want the details." There. That sounded more like her baseline.

Apparently Liona couldn't decide how she wanted to approach the situation. She tugged at her ear and earring, and he found himself smirking. If that wasn't a nervous habit, he didn't know what was. Then she spoke, and she sounded a bit angry at first. Saying his name along with the hello. She looked at her book so intently, he was sure that she was trying to burn a hole in it with her eyes. That made him smile even more. Then her voice voice softened, and she said that it wasn't exactly rough. Eventually, she landed on steady ground, claiming that he didn't want to know the details. Oh boy, she was in a mood, wasn't she? Apparently she couldn't pick what mood that was though.

He lifted a hand, and placed his pointer and middle finger in the center of the book and place his thumb on the back, slowly pulling it out of her hands in order to flip it around and look at it the right way for him to read the page. "We read this two weeks ago," he chimed. He cocked his head to the side and chuckled before handing the book back to her. "Need help?"

When he took the book from her she suppressed the groan that wanted to come out of her. Why couldn't he have just left her alone and continued on his merry way to go terrorize some unsuspecting third year. Instead here he was, being annoying and goregous and a absolute pain. She should have waited just a little bit longer in the Great Hall, taken smaller bites. Maybe this could have been avoided.

When he stated that they'd read it two weeks ago with his head down in her book she gave an annoyed look, quickly fixing her face before he looked back up at her. He was lying, Professor Delov hadn't even touched this unit of the textbook yet. Is this what he read for light reading in his spare time or something? Ugh, freaking Ravenclaws. She wasn't quite looking directly at him, her eyes were looking farther up the stairs completely past his head but she noticed the way his head tilted to the side. She almost mimicked the action. She directed her eyes back to her book to avoid meeting his gaze. She wasn't being very polite at the moment, she felt kind of bad actually. 'No thank you. Just a matter of time until I get it anyway. This is my subject," she gave a quick shake of her head before she looked up from her book. 'Now if you will excuse me." he was blocking her path and her quick retreat was becoming impossible.

"Awe, I suppose I could have read it on my own time," he mused as she said no thank you and went on about how this was her subject, matter of time, all that nonsense. She looked up from her book to ask him to excuse her, but he didn't budge an itch. There was something in this girl, something he was missing. He felt stupid not knowing yet, but he would figure it out. Of course he would. He was Dominic Doherty. He cocked his head to the said, frowning slightly, "where you gonna go? Stair hasn't stopped moving yet. You scared of me, Liona," he reached a hand up slowly, as if he was going to touch her face. He let his hand hover beside her cheek, just to gauge her reaction. Testing the waters. What was her secret?

This time when he cocked his head to the side and frown, she did mimic the action only because she could see the prying look in his eyes. He looked confused and she'd done that with he weird actions. She couldn't help it though this guy brought out abnormal things in her. Things she had no interest in sharing and if she didn't get out of there quickly she would out herself. Him knowing what he did to her could only be destructive. "The top of the stairs. It's closer to my--" when his hand reached up, inches from her cheek, she stiffened. The sound of blood rushing in her ears gave her an instant headache and she held her breath for the briefest of moment. It was hard but she stared at him, raising an eyebrow and holding in every emotion that wanted to spill out. "Isn't this a little too intimate? Aren't you with Ms. Goyle?" The words came out hard but if it hid how she truly felt, she didn't care. She so badly wanted to lean in, indulge for just a moment. She was going to lose her mind if she didn't leave. "Anyway, the stairs should be arriving shortly. If you will Mr. Doherty."

She stopped mid sentence at his hand raising, which didn't surprise him. Then she called him out on it, her eyebrow raising as she mentioend RAven. He chuckled, "awe, Liona, don't speak of what you don't' understand. Raven and I have... an agreement," he said with another small chuckle afterward. She spoke again about how the stairs would be arriving shortly and he finally lowered his hand,a way form her, and took a step back to the side. "After you, miss Zabini," he said, but before she could get far he reached out and caught her wrist, his eyebrow raising high at her once again. "And if you need a little lesson on intimacy, don't be afraid to ask," that last comment would show him what she was thinking, whether she answered verbally or not, he'd figure it out.

An agreement? Somehow she doubted that. She was sure that if Raven ever found out that Dominic was with someone else, Voldemort would manifest himself within her and people would die. No matter, it wasn't her issue because she wasn't going to get involved. Even if her heart-- no this wasn't her heart coaxing this was something else entirely. She was certain. When he stepped aside she felt a moment of relief wash over her. That was before he grabbed her by the wrist. She groaned in frustration, glaring at him. She was going to break. His words made her ache and she snatched her hand from his grip before turning to go up the stairs. "Please assume that it's the end of days if I ever decide to take you up on that offer Mr. Doherty," her words almost came out just above a whisper because she was so afraid that if she spoke any louder her voice would crack and he would know exactly how much she wished she could take him up on that offer. Clearly she was insane. She found herself rubbing her wrist as she began to ascend the stairs.
