Time to have a little fun *Sylvester*

[Arista Theodosia]

Arista was going around waving her wand as things cleaned themselves up around the house, she was expecting company, her friend Sylvester. He was coming over for a bit, but didn't quite know when he was coming or leaving. Her parents were away at the Bahamas for three weeks because it was their 25th wedding anniversary and she helped pay for them to stay an extra week so she could have the house to herself for most of the summer. Arista loved having the house to herself, her parents didn't mind who she had at the house if only something doesn't get broken and to keep the house emaculant until they get home, but for broken things....that's what magic was for of course.

Walking around she fumbled with a few things and was jogging back and forth through the two story cottage while looking out the back windows at the sea. That was one thing she liked about her house, the back of the house was mostly glass so the whole back of the house had an ocean view, then at night if they wanted, they would wave their wands and big drapes would fall so they could have some privacy. But tonight, she think she would have it open, she would do spells to keep wizards' and muggles' eyes avertated from the house. Walking outside, she started to chant the charms over the house and she seen a liquid ooze over the house and then it was invisable, she still could see the house and so would Sylvester.

Before Arista walked back into the house, she turned around and listened to the waves for a few minutes, she had to calm herself just a little, all the running around was making her frazzled as usual, it was nothing new. Once her nerves were calmed, she walked to the couch and sat down while waving her wand and drinks with a few snacks popped up on the center table in front. She always wanted any type of company to feel at home and relaxed. Pouring herself some whiskey, she lightly sipped on it, it was not the night to get totally drunk.

[Sylvester Salazar Gaunt]

"All staff are to note that relations of any kind with any student outside of a classroom setting is frowned upon. For our young interns, we understand that you have just graduated and still have friends that are underclassmen, we still must enforce a rule of no sexual relationships with any students to you all. This rule will be enforced, and any staff, intern or otherwise, that is caught in any sexual relations with any students will be relieved of all duties immediately."

Sylvester read the notice that had been sent to all the staff of Hogwarts. Laughing, he balled it up and tossed it into the trash. He had broken that rule within his first week on campus. He was Sylvester Gaunt, and "sexual relations" was just part of who he was. Why should it matter to him if there were rules against it? If anyone of consequence should find out, Sylvester was rather gifted with Memory Charms. He was also good at Confunding. Because of these two facts, he had nothing to fear at all.

Grabbing his blazer jacket from his bed, he threw it on and walked over to the fireplace. All the staff's rooms were equipped with one of these for the purpose of using the Floo Network to travel in and out of the school. Grabbing a handful of powder, he stepped into the fireplace and called out "Theodosia Cottage." He hadn't asked for permission to come directly into Arista's house via floo powder, but he figured she wouldn't mind too much.

As he came out of the fireplace, he wiped the soot and ash from his clothing, grabbing his wand and siphoning all off the remaining dirt and such from his jacket and cleaning the floor by the mantle so as to keep the place clean. Pocketing his wand, he looked over and spotted Arista. "Hope you don't mind that I used the Floo Network," he said with a smile on his face. "It's good to see you, though, Miss Theodosia."

[Arista Theodosia]

As Arista was sitting sipping lightly, a big boom came from her fireplace and she jumped ten feet spilling her whiskey, ”Oh!” she said. Looking at the fireplace it was Sylvester smiling at her, she scared the bajeezus out of her, she laughed, By Zeus’ beard you scared the crud out of my Sy!” she said still smiling. Arista pointed her wand down at herself and let the whiskey suck up into her wand, then pouring herself another glass, and got up. No I don’t mind lol next time send a call to let me know. But it is nice to see you too Mr. Gaunt.” she said walking up to him and giving him a hug. It’s been a few weeks since she’s seen Sy, they’ve known each other for about two years, it has been a sort of….physical relationship. Arista didn’t care, she liked how things were, no strings attached and they still got to see who they wanted to see.

”Here sit down.” she said to him and lead him to the wrap-around couch, ”So what have you been up to this summer? Doing anything fun or just relaxing? Looking for a job or anything?” she asked. It felt like she was drilling him with questions, hope he didn’t get too annoyed already. Looking down at the table, she waved her wand and filled up a glass of whiskey for him, she couldn’t remember if he liked it or not, she was pretty sure she would tell her if he didn’t like it. There was other drinks in the fridge. Looking outside she seen the waves crashing on the sand, smiling back at Sylvester, she was glad she had company tonight. Sometimes it got lonely all by herself, sometimes she would hope her mom became pregnant so she could have another sibling to take care of and play with and such. But that what happens when you’re a wild child.

Zeus' beard. Sylvester laughed slightly at this statement. He always found it rather funny when her or her cousin, and even Candi, had made references to the Greek god. Of course, he knew it wasn't said to be comedic, but it still sounded funny to him. Probably just because it was foreign to him. He didn't believe in the gods. He hadn't, nor would he ever. However, he never said anything to any of them. Didn't want to offend any pretty faces.

When she wrapped her arms around him to hug him, he returned the hug, planting a light kiss on the top of her head. It wasn't really an emotional gesture; not for him, at least. For him, a kiss on the top of the head during a hug was something that was normal when it came to any girls he was close to physically, and the two of them, who had been friends with benefits for going on two years now, were as close physically as he was with anyone.

As she poured him his drink, he accepted it gratefully and took a sip. "Thank you, dear," he said after he had swallowed the whiskey. As she asked her questions, he leaned back on the couch and looked around the room for a second before answering. "Well, as you know, I left Hogwarts about February, and traveled for months. Britain, France, Italy, and Germany mostly. Spent alot of time there. Met some interesting people along the way. Plenty of pretty girls." He smirked at her before finishing, "None as pretty as you, though, Miss Arista." He gave her a wink followed by a slight laugh before taking another sip of the whiskey. How about you, hmm? What has the Arista Theodosia been up to?"

((It's okay. Lol. That's about average for me, lately.))

[Arista Theodosia]

Arista cocked her head to the side when Sylvester laughed, ”What’s so funny?” she asked smiling. She was always a curious girl, she always asked questions and wanted to know what was on someone’s mind, her parents always said she was nosey and told her ‘curiosity kills the cat’ sort of thing. But she always thought it was a way to get to know someone. He kissed Arista on the head and she smiled, she knows he does that with every girl, but she likes how he’s always a gentlemen.

”Your very welcome.” smiling as he thanked her for the whiskey. Arista watched him lean back when she was shooting off her twenty-one questions, she didn’t care, at least that’s what the alcohol in her head was thinking so far. ”Oh yeah that’s right you did! I forgot, yeah it got a little boring with out you there, like seriously.” she laughed and tossed her hair. At times she wanted to talk to him but forgot that he left the school, but it was ok, she knew everything happens for a reason, Oh man, that must have been fun though, seeing all those places and such. Well Germany I’ve been to most of it cause you know….we’re here now.” she said laughing. That was one thing Arista loved about Germany, it was warm…then cold, but always warm enough for the beach, it didn’t snow much here in Puttgarden though. But she’s never been to the other places Sylvester went to. ”Ooh how many lines have you used that one on now?” she said smirking slyly. Even though it was a very good complement on her but she was just kidding at the same time.

Arista thought about her answer for a minute and downed her whiskey, “Well nothing really, just finishing up school and met a few girls that were dateable till they had some bad baggage so I dropped them pretty much. Even though they were good at…you know.” she said wagging her eyebrows. Yes, Arista played for both sides of the Quidditch team and her parents know it about it also. Her mom says it’s because she’s young and doesn’t know what she wants yet so she’s perfectly fine with it, but her dad thinks it’s revolting, so she doesn’t tell her about the girls she meets up with and such. ”So what are you gonna do now? she asked her old friend.

[Sylvester Salazar Gaunt]

”What’s so funny?”

"Nothing," Sylvester said, laughing again. "I've just never gotten used to you and Adonia referring to the gods. It's just... foreign to me." He smiled at her to let her know that even though he would never swear to the gods or any other object of greek mythology, he was fine with her doing so. "It's kind of cute, actually."

When she asked him how many girls he had used his line on, he smirked at her. She knew him well. Most girls just accepted the line with a giggle or a blush or even a flirty smirk, but Arista was the first to really question his use of it. "You're actually the fourth," he said, laughing. "But you're definitely one of the prettiest girls I know. Top three, easy. You've got this whore of a French girl and my sister to fight for the prettiest girl I know title, but you really only have to fight the French girl for my attention, physically, of course," he said with a laugh.

Hearing about her and the girls, Syl rose an eyebrow at her, smirking. "You should have kept them around!" he said. "We could be having a threesome tonight!" He laughed before leaning over towards her, supporting himself on his elbow, before kissing her lightly once on the lips. "But on the other hand, I have you to myself, so that's a plus too, isn't it?" He kissed her once more before standing up and draining the rest of his drink. He grabbed the whiskey bottle before reaching down to Arista, his hand held out to her. He nodded towards the windows facing the beach, a small smile on his face. "All the times I've been over here, all we've ever done is get wasted and sleep with each other. If that's going to happen again tonight, which, let's be honest, it probably will, let's at least change it up a little and do it on the beach, why don't we?" he asked, shaking the whiskey bottle a little.

[Arista Theodosia]

"Oooh. Yeah well Adnia and I discovered Greek mythology before we came to Hogwarts and we've been saying references since then. Always good to get a kick out of it." she laughed. Arista loved everything about mythology, the stories, paintings....everything. Not that he needed to know about that. She smiled as he said it was cute, "Aw thanks. It's better to say it than curse out loud....unless I was really mad." she laughed.

Arista nodded and chuckled, That's what I thought." then looked at him, "Top three ay? Well I can take second cause your sister is awfully pretty, but I'll fight for second so the whore won't take my place." she said making a fist smiling. She didn't know how to fight but her dad said a pretty girl like her didn't need to fight, so she just liked to act tough.

"Keep them around? I don't think so, they got way too clingy. Like when I slept with them, they would want to hang out with me all the time and stuff like that." she said waving her hand dismissively. That was one thing ARista was bad at, actual relationships. She never had an actual boyfriend or girlfriend, she didn't want to be tied down during her school years, there were too many experiences to endure and she didn't want a significant other telling her no she can't do it. Sylvester kissed her and broke out into a warm smile, "Threesomes aren't my thing anyways. Yes it's a plus, also, I like one and one." she said grabbing his and and then letting go.

Arista smiled, "Well I wasn't planning on getting trashed tonight, but a change of scenery is good too." she said getting up. The property line went out all the way to the sea, so the invisibility charm was cast on the beach and the waves also. "If we're gonna go out there then, night as well dress for it." waving her wand, her clothes were gone and in thier place was a bikini. She waved her wand again and some snacks and more alcohol were placed on the sand. Just incase I got hungry." she said. ARista grabbed his and and ran towards the waves.

[Sylvester Salazar Gaunt]

As Arista explained why she had dumped the girls, Sylvester sighed slightly. He knew she didn't like clingy people, which was fine for him. It made their relationship simple. No having to worry about anything other than having as much fun as they could with eachother. If that meant just hanging out and having a good time, then they would. If that meant flirting and sleeping with eachother, than that was certainly an option for them as well.

The intern watched as Arista transfigured her clothing into a bikini, a smirk on his face as she did so. "Damn..." he muttered under his breath, looking her over. She was definitely an attractive girl. There was no denying that. That just made Sylvester all the happier that they had the relationship they did. After taking his time taking in her bikini-clad body, he pulled his wand from his pocket and did the same with his own clothing, leaving him in swim trunks and a white wife-beater. He allowed her to grab his hand and drag him out to the waves, dropping the whiskey bottle in his hand next to the food and drinks that she had summoned to the beach. When they got out to the water, he reached down and scooped up as much water as he could and splashed the Ravenclaw girl. Laughing, he pointed his wand at the water near her and caused it to begin jumping up at her.

[Arista Theodosia]

Arista seen the way Sy looked at her and she couldn’t help but laugh, ”What? Do I have something on me?” she said looking down at herself while rubbing her stomach. Arista watched as he flicked his wand and he was wearing swimming trunks and a white tank top, she wasn’t going to lie, Sy was a very good looking man and she couldn’t help smiling at him.

As Arista and Sy ran to the water, she felt her heart pounding, that was one thing she loved doing, swimming in the ocean. The waves would crash into her body, making it bone cold, but after a while it would be the perfect temperature to wade in and float. At times she would bring out an air mat to lay on and the waves would push her back to the sand, and by waving her wand she would go back out into the water. She always thought of the ocean as her own home, she could tan, eat, hell, she could bathe in it….but it was salt water. Once they got into the waves, a rush of numbing coldness ran up her body and instantly Sylvester started to splash her, and using magic with it. Arista was helpless, she left her wand next to the food as they ran towards the waves, all she could do was manually throw water back at him. ”No fair! You have magic!” she said while she laughed. As the water leaped at her, she wondered if it followed her, diving under water, she began to swim deeper into the ocean.

Opening her eyes, she seen the water was filled with an orange color from the sunset above the surface, it looked magnificent! She also seen little fish swim around and such, thank goodness she was a good swimmer, she could hold her breath for almost a minute underwater. She swam closer to Sylvester and then popped up onto the surface, again, the waves still jumped against her skin and she couldn’t help but laugh and try to splash him in return. Ok I give up! she said laughing and holding up her hands straight in the air as she wiggled her fingers.

[Sylvester Salazar Gaunt]

”What? Do I have something on me?”

Sylvester laughed slightly, smirking at her. "You do, and that's the problem," he said, flicking the ties to her bathing suit lightly. He smirked as he finished looking her over. "I would look much better on you than that bathing suit.. and that looks great on you." He winked at her quickly, laughing.

After the splashing episode, when she popped up next to him and surrendered, he wrapped his arms around her and picked her up, spinning her around before placing her back down. He kissed her shortly on the lips before diving into the water past her, swimming out to deeper water. Resurfacing, he leaned back and began floating, his eyes closed as he faced the orange sky.

((Sorry it's short...))

[Arista Theodosia]

Arista looked down at herself and smiled, ”Oh ha ha, thanks for checking me out.” she laughed as Sylvester flicked her ties. She blushed a little and smirked up at him, ”Well if you play your cards right, you may have the chance to be on me later.” walking up to him and kissing him lightly on the lips as she dragged her finger over his chest. It was fun flirting with the opposite sex, there was so many different things that makes a man weak, and also different things that makes a girl weak.

When Sy spun her around, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, when he put her back down he kissed her lightly on the lips and started to relax. Arista couldn’t help but stare at him as the waves rolled off his body and then splashed against her, she loved this ‘relationship’ she has with him. They could just hang out, do whatever they want, and then by the next morning and still remain good friends. As she was staring, she noted that the waves were getting a bit bigger and an idea came into her mind. Arista ran up to the shore, grabbed her wand and waved it, there five inches away a boogie board appeared. She seen some Muggles on them and she went up and asked them what they were doing, because they were skimming them on the ground and then taking them out to the waves. That day, the kids taught her how to do it, and ever since then she was addicted to it, and right now was a good time to try it out again.

Taking the board, she ran down to the waves where her feet was in the water, then started taking off running. As she ran, she threw the board on the ground and then she was taking off, swerving this way and that. After doing that for a few times, she was a little thirsty, and she walked over to grab a drink of the whiskey. Then she paddled out to Sylvester on her boogie board, ”Would you care for a drink love?” she asked shaking the bottle a bit then taking another swig.

((Oh thats ok! I hope you don't mind that I added a little back story to make it a little longer. =] ))

[Sylvester Salazar Gaunt]

Sylvester noticed after a second that there seemed to be no noise near him. Opening his eyes and looking over towards where Arista had been a second ago, he noticed that she had moved further inland. He stood up in the water, realizing for the first time how deep he was, chest deep, and watched as she skimmed across the water. He had seen some girls doing that on the beaches of Portugal while he had been out traveling, and had always found it kind of interesting for a Muggle form of entertainment. After watching her for a while, though, he decided to relax again and leaned back, floating once again.

After a few minutes, he heard splashing as the girl paddled back to him on her board. Looking up as she offered him the bottle, he took a quick sip of the drink before handing it back to her, thanking her as he did so. He smiled at her lightly as he allowed himself to be pushed around in the water by the tide. If Sylvester was honest with himself, he had to admit that his friendhip with Arista was the closest thing that he had ever held as a long-term relationship. They had been close for two years now, and this was a girl that he actually liked spending time with even when their clothes were on. Even his relationship he had had with Paige, which he now hating thinking about, hadn't been that good. However, Sylvester wasn't about to ruin what they had by trying to turn it into anything serious. Casual sex accompanied by flirting and playing around with eachother was enough. He didn't need to add any titles other than "friends with benefits" to this.

"You know that us being together, even like this, is frowned upon by the school, right?" he asked after a second, laughing slightly. "I could actually get fired from my unpaying job for being here overnight, flirting with you, and god only knows what else might happen tonight."

[Arista Theodosia]

Sy told Arista that them being together was frowned upon on the school and she looked down, ”Well…What should we do? What people won’t know won’t hurt them right?” she said smiling. But the smile didn’t reach her eyes, was he saying that they shouldn’t do anything beyond this point, or what? That was the thing Arista didn’t like about herself, she jumped to conclusions too fast and it sometimes comes back and bites her in her ass. When he said that he could get fired from his intern that sunk Arista’s heart. She didn’t want him to get fired over her own desires of ‘the deed’. ”The good thing about here is that no one can see us, the invisibility spell reaches out about another 400 feet. I swear we can’t get caught here. I’m so sorry I wasn’t thinking about you losing your internship over this.” she said taking another swig and capping back the cork.

Looking at Sylvester, she looked up on the shore, ”Are you getting hungry? Cause I sure am.” she said full fledged smiling now. She wanted to talk about his internship, she didn’t know what he was interning at at Hogwarts, they can just be like they didn’t know each other or something. Walking up the shore, she grabbed her wand and performed a charm that made her instantly dry, and sat down at the picnic she magically put there. Opening the containers, there was all assorts of cheeses, fruits, sandwiches, and some juice just incase they didn’t want to drink while they eat. ”Sorry for all this healthy stuff that I have here, gotta watch the ol figure. she said patting her stomach and laughed. ”You can conjure up anything you want. So I can’t remember if I asked you or not, but what are you interning for at Hogwarts?” she asked taking a big bite out of a watermelon slice and the juice poured out and splashed on her chest. Arista turned pink and wiped the juice away.

Sylvester laughed slightly as Arista became concerned about him losing his job. While it was sweet that she cared, he really wasn't worried about losing anything because of their relationship. Nor was he worried about losing his job because of any of the other relationships that he had with students that were "frowned upon." Sarina, Alyssa, and Kayla were just to name a few of the girls that he was as close to physically as he was to Arista here, all of them still students at the school. "Don't worry, babe," he said, reaching up and tucking her hair behind her ear. "No one will find out. And, if they do, I'm pretty good with Memory and Confunding charms. I don't want to give up our special little friendship we have here." He winked at her playfully

As Arista headed back to the beach, Sylvester followed obediently behind. Syl would do whatever his women wanted as long as they repaid the favor before long. So if she wanted to eat, hell, he'd go and eat. He was kind of hungry anyway. Sitting on the sand after drying himself off, he grabbed a sandwich and some cheese, taking a bite of one then the other. Smiling over at Arista, he thanked her before finishing the cheese and grabbing the bottle of wine, charming it to pour himself a small glass. He had never drank wine much until Dermandois had always drank it around him and got him to drink as well. Before taking a sip of the drink, he raised it to the air and nodded to Arista. "To the most beautiful girl in the country." Sure, it was cheesy, but this was Sylvester here. He would say anything to try and charm a girl.
