Valentine's Day - What a Waste
Who: Jacob, Corvus, and others, open
Where: Lower commons
When: Thursday, after dinner
Status: Completed
Summary: A group of boys alone in the lower commons decide to try to play some games. Autumn makes a brief appearance, but decides to leave when they break out the exploding snap cards. Kaden inadvertently comes out to Corvus while they're walking to go get the aforementioned snap cards. Logan walks Autumn to the library, and Autumn decides she likes the Beauxbatons champion better than the Durmstrang one. When Alex and Kaden engage in a game of chess with the stipulation that the loser has to preform a dare, Alex has to run to the library in his boxers. Upon their return, Kaden offers to complete Alex's proposed dare for him, and he kisses Corvus before the party breaks up and the boys retreat to their given rooms.
Jake kind of wondered how much of a refuge the lower commons would actually be. How many of the couples, really, were going to actually pay attention to the signs on the door and in the common rooms?
He'd been pleased to see the sign - he was kind of getting really sick of that French couple that was always snogging in their common room. Didn't they have anything better to do?
Either way, he made his way in with a stack of books after dinner. He noticed a few other people there, and he announced: "you all damn well better be single," before he sat down on one of the couches.
"Why?" Corvus inquired from where he was sprawled across an armchair. "You looking for some lovin' Flint?" He grinned and waggled his brows at Jacob.
"Not from you, Corner," Jake shot back, but he grinned, too. He'd always thought that Corvus should've been a Slytherin, but ... well, he was a 'puff. Jake still thought he was an okay guy. "But speaking of lovin', you haven't noticed anyone snogging in here, have you?"
"I haven't been looking," Corvus quipped with a grin. "But so far, no."
"Good," Jake decided, settling in to do some homework. Or ... think about doing homework, anyway.

Alex actually made something of an effort to play the game well, though he really wasn't good at strategizing for long-term, and he inadvertently sacrificed several pieces in his overeagerness to claim Kaden's pieces.
By the time they were done, Alex wondered if Corvus really was asleep, and he glanced over to the other boy curiously.
"...you're so helpful, Corner. Remind me to hex you later," Alex said, but he grinned - that kind of had been his plan.
"Think you've got everything backwards, Thompson." Corvus pointed out. "I think we both want to see that." He laughed, but he draped his arm back over his face. He really was kind of sleepy, and the couches were comfortable, and no way did he want to run anywhere.
He sincerely hoped they managed to dodge any prefects or professors.
At least there weren't any stairs though. Those would trip him up for sure.
