Theodosia Washington had a problem. That problem was named Maxima Greyback. The problem wasn't Max herself so much as how Theodosia felt towards Max, because it was wrong for someone like Theodosia to love someone like Max. A pureblood loving a halfblood was...blasphemous. Her earlier conversation with Zaire had done nothing to clarify Theodosia's feelings, but there was one thing that she needed to know. She needed to know if this was just a fluke, some sort of glitch in Theodosia's system, or if it was a widespread thing - if she was capable of loving anyone with impure blood. The conundrum was now to find someone on which to test her hypothesis. Finding someone with impure blood who wouldn't immediately run away with their tail between their legs was a difficult challenge, and Theo was left with only one person she could realistically confront, who wouldn't run away from her the moment she saw him. She needed to find Edmund Windsor. This couldn't happen int he common room, of course, lest one of the Hexen girls see her consorting with a Mudblood, but the dungeons were a good place to wait for him. Theodosia was standing in the hall, waiting for Edmund to show his sorry little face and she could get her experiment over with.

Edmund was on his way back to the common room after a very long and tiring day. He was ready to go and relax, maybe do some homework and definitely talk with Addi. He felt like he hadn't really been able to talk to her all day, which was something he hated and now he intended to do something about it. Their dating one another was still technically a secret, but he wouldn't be surprised if the Slytherins knew it. He didn't care. He was going to tell his sisters sometime soon. Just not yet. He made it to the dungeons and started walking down the hall that led to the common room when he saw someone standing there. He would recognize her anywhere. Theodosia. A part of him wanted to attack her, while another part wanted him to turn around and walk away. He could always relax in the library, after all. Then he could come back in a while, when she would be gone. No. As tempting as that was, Ed was not a coward. So he continued in his original direction. It wasn't like he had anything to hide and she definitely wasn't waiting for him so hopefully he'd be able to get by without any sort of altercation. Then again, this was Theodosia. The chance of him getting by without something happening seemed infinitesimal.

It didn’t take long for the Mudblood to appear. Theodosia rolled her eyes internally – he was probably crawling home to the Slater girl so they could pretend like no one else saw them snogging or doing whatever it was that people who were dating did. Theodosia pondered for a moment if she ought to kiss the Slater girl instead. No, she didn’t want to confuse her poor oaf of a brother. At least none of Edmund’s family cared about him enough to bother looking at who he snogged. Steeling herself against a wave of revulsion that Theodosia desperately hoped would come, the Slytherin girl walked forward until she was toe to toe to Edmund. Raising herself onto her tiptoes, Theodosia quickly and firmly pressed her lips against Edmund’s. They were surprisingly warm, and Theodosia found herself actually startled by the whole sensation. She took a step back, furrowing her brow at Edmund. She didn’t know whether or not she had actually enjoyed the kiss, but she hadn’t felt like vomiting, so maybe there was something to her theory about her being inherently flawed and somehow able to love people of impure blood. Of course, she could never love Edmund, because he was a boy, but still…Theodosia felt she was onto something.

This was ... strange. As he walked down the hallway, he was surprised to note that Theodosia was staring straight at him. Great. That probably meant she'd been waiting for him to come so she could torment him. To his surprise however, she walked straight up to him and kissed him before stepping back slightly. Edmund froze, really not knowing what he was supposed to do now. This was a dream, right? Or some sort of messed-up figment of his imagination. There was no way that Theodosia Washington, his tormentor for years, just walked up to him and kissed him. "What the hell?!" he burst out after a few seconds, glaring over at her. "What in the world do you think you're doing?" he hissed angrily. What was the point in trying to contain it after all; she knew exactly how he felt about her. They'd hated one another for years.

Theodosia was still too caught up in her own thoughts to care much about Edmund’s reaction to what she had done. He seemed angry, which was probably to be expected, given their history, but he didn’t try to hex her or anything of the sort. Theodosia just raised an eyebrow at Edmund, a slightly amused smirk appearing on her face. “What, are you afraid your little halfblood girlfriend will find out?” She said with a chuckle. Theodosia had made sure there were no witnesses before kissing Edmund, of course. There wouldn’t be anyone spreading gossip and ruining her reputation. “Don’t worry, Eddie darling.” Theodosia crooned. “She won’t hear a word of this, I promise.” Then, Theodosia’s smile took on a slightly more wicked cast. “And she certainly won’t be hearing it from you.” In one smooth motion, the Slytherin girl drew her wand and pointed it at Edmund’s forehead. “Obliviate.”

She really thought he was going to keep this from Addi? There was no way that was going to happen. As soon as he got away from Theo, he would most certainly be searching out Addi to tell her what happened. He rolled his eyes as he moved to pass her. The next thing he knew her wand was pointed right at him. Edmund heard the spell she muttered, but then he forgot about it, as well as the kiss she'd just given him. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Theodosia, standing in front of him casually. Why was he standing here with her? "I've gotta go," Edmund said, moving to the right so he could pass her. He couldn't remember what he was doing here, but he didn't want to be doing it anymore. At least not with Theo nearby. He had to leave.

When Edmund looked back at her, Theodosia saw nothing near recognition. She would say she saw no disgust in his gaze, but that simply wasn't true. Of course Edmund was disgusted by her, just as Theodosia ought to be disgusted by him. There was still need to think that over, though, Theo thought, when she had more time. "No, you don't." Theodosia snapped when Edmund said that he had to go. She needed to keep him a little longer, to see how much she had erased. If she had gone much beyond the kiss, that could cause problems. And if Edmund noted a hole in his memory later, that wouldn't be good - having more conversation on either side would be beneficial in blurring the edges of when his memory loss had occurred. "Stay with me a little while, Ed." Theodosia said. She wasn't sure what she was going to do to him now, but it would be something more to distract him.

Edmund paused, his eyebrows raising in surprised annoyance. She thought she could boss him around now? Granted, it was Theodosia and she obviously thought that he was beneath her and would do exactly as she said. "Sorry, I don't need your permission," Ed replied scathingly, but still he paused. Why? Honestly, he wasn't quite sure why he wasn't leaving. Maybe it was the fact that she actually wanted him around, which was completely out of the ordinary. In fact, it was suspicious. What was she up to. "Why should I?" He demanded, ready to leave immediately if he decided the situation called for it. He didn't want to get stuck here with her.

Edmund said he didn’t need her permission to leave, yet he still didn’t. Theodosia smiled to herself. She had Edmund under her thumb, and he didn’t even realize it. Maybe he didn’t need her permission outright, but Edmund knew what Theodosia could do, and what she would do, if only for the fun of it all. “You have a younger sister.” Theodosia began casually. “It would be a shame if she got lost on her way to the Hufflepuff common room and wandered into me, wouldn’t it?” Of course, the pathetic little badger wasn’t worth Theodosia’s time, but she had already threatened Addilyn enough for her tastes. Besides, it was too strange, having just kissed Edmund, to threaten his girlfriend. Maybe his sister would elicit a different reaction.

What was he still doing here? It was weird, how confused Ed felt. He still couldn't remember why he was here in the first place. If he was with anyone else he would look around himself and try to figure out what was going on, but he refused to appear even somewhat confused around Theodosia. He glared at her when she mentioned Lucy, furious. He knew there was probably little chance that it would impact Theodosia, but his voice was cold as ice and dangerous when he spoke, "You'd better not even think about going near her," he began. He didn't want to say much more though, because he didn't want to give Theo more incentive to go after his sister. "What do you want?" Ed demanded, tired of this non-existent conversation that he wasn't "allowed" to leave. Of course, if staying protected Luc, he would do it but that didn't mean he wanted to.

“I have as much right to be near the Hufflepuff common room as anyone else.” Theodosia said, flipping her hair over her should. “I happen to have quite a few friends in Hufflepuff, you know. I have to wait for them to come out of their dorms for breakfast, you know.” Theo was lying, and she didn’t even care if Edmund called her on saying that she had Hufflepuff friends. Of course she didn’t have Hufflepuff friends – she only had one friend, and he was in Slytherin. Edmund asked her what she wanted, and Theodosia just smiled. “I just wanted to remind you that I control you, Edmund Windsor.” She said. Before he could ask anything more about how or what or why, Theodosia turned on her heel, and walked away.

Edmund rose an eyebrow at Theodosia's claim that she had friends in Hufflepuff. Really? Granted, he wasn't in the mood to verbally spar with her about it, so he let it go, but he highly doubted that. Firstly, he'd never seen her with any Hufflepuffs. Granted, Ed didn't really follow Theodosia or his friends, but he really just couldn't imagine it. Then she said that she controlled him and Edmund glared. "You do no such thing," he answered immediately, but she was already gone. Edmund turned and decided to go the other way. Maybe he should go look for Addi.
